Strengthens Determination Not to
Withdraw Troops
NOTE TO CARRANzA READY
First Chief viii Be Told That He Has
Failed to Protect Northern
Border.

Washington, June 15.-Secretary
refuse General Carran2a's demand for
withdrawal of American troops from
Mexico was laid before President VIII
son for his approval today almost
simultaneously with receipt of news
of another border raid in which the
camp of the Fourteenth cavalry at
San Ygnacio, Tex, was attacked and
three troopers killed.
Punitive steps against those respon
sible for the new depreciation were
left to the discretion of the border
commanders, whose standing orders
are to pursue into Mexico any hot
trail they find The development,
however, Immediately was called to
the attention of the de facto govern
ment, and will be one of the elements
on which the administration, in its
reply to Carranza, will predicate its
declaration that the time for with
drawal is not yet ripe because Mex
lean troops are not properly policing
the border country.
Anti American demonstrations
throughout the republic, which will
also back up this declaration, have
worked with the growing seriousness
Of economic conditions to produce
such grave situation that officials
here fear new internal upheaval
soon and have taken further steps to
protect Americans. An army trans.

gon and got into camp at place
called Hacienda Ciengito. There
they had already executed man who,
| heard, was a ranch-owner. From
there we went to a place called Santa
Ana, near San Borja.
"On leaving there the command was
split in two, one section going east,
under command of Nicholas Herman
dez, we turning back to the south
west, through the mountains. This
was done with great deal of secre-
cy. In fact, l did not go with the
Villa group, but when l got into
camp late that night, at a place called
Rancho Colorado, Villa was there.
They very often took him cut of his
litter and they always hid him at
night. They always brought him out
in the morning from entirely different
place from that where he was appar-
emily hidden at night. l deserted one
night and went away in the darkness,
accompanied by boy, and we walked
all the way back to Ell Vale through
the mountains" -Literary Digest.

Coffn's Contribution.

During the late National Prohibit
ton convention in st. Paul, Mimi,
which nominated ex-Gov. J. Frank
Hanley of indianapolis for president,
a newspaper dispatch stated that "a
little old man from Johnstown, FIori-
da, is the hero Of the convention"
Continuing the dispatch says:
This little, old man sat pretty far
back in the convention today and
talked to his gray-haired, motherly-
looking little wife, who shared the
honors.
They were John P. Coffin and wife,
who own 10000 acres of land in
Florida, but act and look just like
the rest of the "home folks" who are
attending the convention.
This was all they did:
The prohibitionists need money to
run a campaign. The chairman had
called for contributions, and they were
coming in slowly. A voice back in
the hall said something about $780,
600.
"What's that" the crowd SHOUTED.
Coffn's gray head popped up from
the Florida delegation.
Eyes, that's what I said" he said,
"Put me down for $4,000"
The convention cheered and dele
gates toppled over their chairs to get
to Coffin. They picked him up and
carried him to the platform. Mrs.
Coffin looked embarrassed, but they
picked her up, too, and carried her
up there with him.
Coffn's contribution is believed the
largest ever made for a prohibition
campaign. His pledge started the
ball rolling and funds rolled in after
that.
The collection was just like one Of
those donation parties they have for
country ministers.
Those who didn't have money gave
other things. One man tossed into
the pot mortgage for $158.6S Oh
some Illinois law books and told tie
collectors to get after the money.
Out of a mass of resolutions placed
before the convention, the resolut;1rs
committee had fairly we'll worked ut
its platform. The Susan Anthony
suffrage amendment, an eight hour
n2y for workingmen, a program of
for peace only, and gov
ernnlent ownership of armor plates
were the principal clauses decided
upon and, Of course, national prohi-

ORLANDO MAN SAYS

ton, but Prosperous.

Orlando Reporter-Star: Clark
Robertson, sanitary commissioner, has
returned from an EXTENDED trip.
His travels took him to Cincinnati,
Toledo. Detroit, Lansing and several
other large cities.
"Never," said Mr.. Robertson, twas

1t is the humidity which makes the
heat so oppressive. The clouds of
smoke hang above the city in tiers;
there does not seem to be q breath OF
air to stir them.
"As to business conditions, they
look very promising. Everywhere
there is a cry for laborers. In the
machinist line this demand is stron-
GER than in any other. The war has
taken thousands of skilled mechanics

While in Toledo, Mr.. Robertson

HOW VILLA ELUDED

out through the shinbone directly in

| by the fact that he was running for

saw his wound every day.
"The day after the fight at Guer-
zero he prepared to leave for the
south, as he had already learned that
the Americans were at Namiqulpa.
He left Beltran with the principal
part of his army at Guerrero, and
started in the direction of Parral,
whittier they said they were going.
They took $50 men commanded by
Nicholas Hernandez, and they always
kept guard of about fifty men close
~ around the wagon where Villa was
carried and which l was driving.
THE legs of his trousers and draw
ers were cut away nearly to the hip,
leaving the limb bare. After some
days the leg turned very black for
about twelve inches above and twelve
inches below the wound.
81 noticed after that that he entire
ly lost his courage and at times APP
pcared to be unconscious. He would
cry like a child when the wagon jolted,
and curst me every time | hit rock.
after we passed San Antonio and
started south through the mountains,
he got so bad that he could not stand
the wagon any longer. They then
made him a litter. They detailed six
teen men to carry this in turn, but
did not trust it to any except his
staff officers and personal friends.
His brother-in-law rode close to him,
leading Villas horse, beautiful blue
roan pinto, with Villas empty saddle,
and he seemed to have personal
charge of the patient. The brother
in-law IS very strong, well-built
man, and he lifted Villa around in
his arms like a child
"For some reason they had me
drive the wagon close behind them,
and they travelled almost day and
night. When they wanted to stop,
General Villa would not stand for it.
He was the worst scared man | ever
saw. When | last saw him, his big
fat, robust face was very thin and
frail. His staff officers hunted every
thing dainty for him that they could
find to eat. He ate very little and
seemed to grow gradually weaker day
by day. The next day after they
made the litter was a very bad day;
it was showing hard and the ground
was very slippery.
"In going down a bad, steep hill I
lost control of the horses on account
of the condition of the roads, and the
wagon turned over and was broken so
badly that it was left behind. was

No tune of footing fife,
No beat of the rolling drum,
And yet with the thrill of life
The hordes of children come.
Freckled and chubby and lean,
Indifferent, good and bad,
Bedraggled and dirty and clean,
Richly and poorly clad
They come on toddling feet
To the schoolhouse door ahead;
The neighboring alley and street
ReSound to the infant tread.
Children Of those who came
To the land of the promising West
Foreign of face and name,
Are shoulder to shoulder pressed
With the youth of the native land
In the quest for truth and light,
As the valOrous little band
Irudges to left and right.
Greed and color and race
Unite from the ends of the earth
Blending each noble trace
In the pride of a glorious birth,
Race and hate and the past
Fuse in melting heat
As the little hearts beat fast
10 the stir of common beat,
A fresher bawn and brain
For the stock which the fates de.

The first account of how the "MeXl-
can eel" escaped from the pursuing
American forces, and was finally shot
from the back by one of his own
men, came to the New York World
from its correspondent at the Per-
shing headquarters. From time to
time the public has been RECALLED with
reports Of Villas death, and some of
the Southern neighbors even went SO
far as to declare that they had seen
the actual grave of the leader. But
this apparently verarious account
proves that he still lived many days
after his grave was seen"
Together with this comes another
which tells how a recent raid was
made on d rich mining property at
Batopilas, and how the estate was
looted by the followers of Beltran,
a lieutenant of the bandit. And it is
noteworthy that tho Carranza's
troops were in the vicinity, they made
no attempt to interfere with the raid
ers, or to dispense them. Moreover,
we are told that the Carranza garri-
son at MADEIRA, which is just across
the mountain, liberated twelve men
who lad murdered Americans at Co.
lumbus. in spite of the assurance to
the Americans that they would BE-
turned over to the United States
troops. About Villa we learn:
The account of the manner in which
Villa was shot by one of the MCXicans
whom he forced into his band is pre-
scented herewith. The statement was
made by an imprest Mexican whose
name is withheld to save him from
vengeance, which is wreakcd on all
McXicans who give the Americans in
formation of any sort. The state
ment tends to establish the fact that
Major HoWZe's command was on the
bandits heels for several days. Howe
had to give up the chase because his
horses were exhausted.
when Villa came through Ell Vale
after the Columbus raid" said the
informant, che collected the people Of
the town to hear him make a speech.
He asked for volunteers to help fight
the Americans, who, he said, were in
our country and would probably be
here that day. He then asked the
rest of us if we were not going to
Join, and when we refused he stood
US up in line, dismissed the old men,
and took the rest as prisoners under
guard.
"When we reached Guerrero he
gave US arms and small amount OF
ammunition, so that we could take
part in the fight against the Carran-
"a forces who were there. We enter
ed Guerrero about four in the morn
ing and started fighting. The fight
lasted till nearly noon, when the Car
rama forces gave way and the town
fell into our hands. During the pro-
gress of the fight we were lined up
in an arroyo facing the Carranza
forces.
General Villa and his personal
staff went forward toward the enemy
on foot, leaving US in the arroyo, and
when he became exposed he was shot
from behind by one Of the men who
was with him as prisoner; in fact, 1t
was our intention to Kill him and go
over to the Carranzistas. But just
at the time when he was shot the
Carranzi3taG gave way and ran, leav-
ing us with no possible way to es-
cape, so we again assumed q pre-
tense of loyalty and declared if he
had been shot by any Of us it was
purely accidental,
He was shot with an old model
