expected arrival here today of the
bodies of the 10 foreigners, most of
whom were Americans, executed by
former Villa soldiers Monday. near
San Ysabel, SO miles from Chihuahua
City, details of the tragedy were
eagerly awaited by hundreds of min

sources of information were crowded
throughout the night with those eager

that the downtown sections, the public
squares, depots, etc, are the places
that should receive their attention
However, many palm trees have been
planted in front of various houses in

ers, and not by the association, as
many seem to think In this connection
the ladies urge the people of the city

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-Secretary
Lansing today telegraphed Gen. Car
rama calling for the prompt punish
ment of the bandits who executed II
Americans near Chihual. a Monday.
Through Eliseo Arrdeondo. the newly
appointed Mexican ambas sador here,
it was arranged to bring the bodies
from Chihuahua to Juarez day on a
special train.
Secretary Lansing's only announce
ments on the case was that the United
States would look to General Carranza
"for satisfaction" The quel ion of
what steps the United States viii take
depends upon development o. the
facts.
President Wilson was in comm "ica-
tion early today with Secretaries Gar
rison and Lansing and gave instruc-
tions to. send to the White House all
facts asi rapidly as they were received.
Advices that at least 16 Americans
were killed were received by Maj. Gen.
Scott, chief of the staff of the army,
and also by the state department.
At the White House it was declared
that while something undoubtedly
would be done, what steps the govern
ment will take have not been decided.
At the state department officials
referred to the fact that Americans
had been warned since the United
States decided to recognize General
Carranza to leave the state of Sonora
and Chihuahua, which were then re-
garded as Villa strongholds. They
said that in spite of the official warn
cans still remain in the district, in
cluding 200 Mormans at Cases
Grandes.
An official list of the dead received
by the state department agrees with
the list contained in the news dis
patches with the exception that that
does not conatin the name of Murray
Crossett of San Antonio.
Administration senators said they
were shocked over the killing OF
Americans, but were inclined to dis
courage hasty utterances of action.
Chairman Stone, of the foreign rela-
tions committee, said he thought
senators should wait until official re-
ports have been received: (
''It appears that the slaughter of
American citizens was the deed of
bandits" said Senator Stone. "Such
outlawry might occur in anw coun-
try. What can be done | do not
know. / think that members OF
congress should get all the facts
available regarding this crime before
discussing it,

up the foreigners on the railroad
tracks and firing squad killed 19 of
them. Holmes was said to have es-
capped by remaining behind as his
companions were marched out of the
cars.
Just as the firing squad raised their
rifles, he fled along the railroad track
in the direction of Chihuahua City,
which he reached Monday night.
A telegram asking that President
Wilson demand full satisfaction from
the Carranza government was 4ent to
Washington by a committee of min
ing men.
Many kilograms have come from
Chihuahua City from managers and
mining crews, ordered back to the
mines, stating that they were return
ing to the border.
In the midst of the excitement Gtn-
eral Manuel NJ. Medinieviata, Villas
former chief of staff, suspected of
implication in the killing of Peter
Keane, near MADEIRA recently, was ar
rested and held in the city Jail on a
charge of vagrancy.
1t was reported from Juarez that
Carranza troops had been despatched
to Chihuahua City to bring the bodies
of the victims to the border Another
report said government forces had
been sent in pursuit of the Villa
bands in Western Chihuahua.

A LOVE FEAST
NOW EXPECTED
REPUBLICANS AND PROGRESS.
IVES WILL LIKELY NAME
TIE SAME TICKET.

CHICAGO. Jan. 12-Most OF the
members of the Progressive national
committee and party leaders left for
their homes today after deciding last
night to hold the national convention
in Chicago on June Z. concurrently
with the Republican national conven-
ton.
After the completion OF work of
the committee, many of the leaders
expressed the opinion that the way
has been opened for common lead
ership of the Progressive and Re-
publican parties.
The next Progressive gathering will
be held in New York city, probably
within two weeks, when the execu.
tive committee of the national com
mittee will assemble for the purpose
OF preparing call and beginning
preparations for the convention.
In the declaration of principles,
which was adopted without dissent.
ing vote. the belief was expressed
that the surest way to secure for the
country a suitable leader, would be
"by having both Progressive and Re
publican parties choose the same
standardbearer and the same prin-
ciples.'
Continuing the declaration of prin-
ciples says:
'lf the Republican convention Is
responsive to the patriotic spirit that
brought the Republican party into
being and that made it dominant for
half century; If it meets this crisis
in the spirit OF broad patriotism that
rises above partisanshp, the effort
for a common leadership will be sue
cessful."
Addressing the conference of party
leaders, George W. Perkins, chair
man of the executive committee
said;
I'VE are hoping that both parties
will agree on somebody and the can
didate need not necessarily be Col
Roosevelt"
