Outlaw chIeftain Leaves Command
Following Unsuccessful Raid on
Jiminez and Goes Fifty Miles
TO Southwest.

Chihuahua City,. Beltran, one of
Villas chief lieutenants, and a partici-
pant in the massacre of eighteen
Americans at Santa Ysabel, Chihua-
hua, last January, was killed in the
engagement at Cerro Blanco, July II,
reports sent on the 18th TO General Ja-
cinto Trevino, indicated. These reports
were supported by stories told upon
their arrival here by Villista prisoners,
who said that when the bandits re-
formed at Sombreretillo, Beltran was
missing.
The prisoners said that Villa him
self was not present at Cerro Blanco,
the outlaw forces being directed by
Calexito Contreras. The bandit chief
tain, they said, being disappointed
upon the evacuation of Jiminez at his
failure to capture arms and ammuni-
ton, left the command, going to Ha-
cienda Salaises, about fifty miles
southwest. The Villistas added that
because of the shortage of ammunition
only ten rounds was allowed each
man in the Cerro Blanco engagement

Wanted. an EIenhant.

The Hasty Pudding club of Harvard
was recently reported to be in some
distress because of the lack of two
sturdy actors capable of good team
work In playing the part of an ele-
plant in the clubs annual spring show.
The original selection for the front
legs was dismissed from college on
account Of low marks, and the hind
legs became discouraged and resigned.
Probably peculiar combination of
athletic skill and comic talent is re-
quired for the proper representation
of stage elephant, and 1t may be a
thankless task that college amateurs
in general are unwilling to tackle. An
actor disguised as one-half of an ele-
plant seems to lose much of his indi-
viduality. But the fore and aft por-
ton of a quadruped offers fine
chance for an ambitious young actor
to start brilliant career. Henry e.
Dixey began his stage life as the hind
legs of the heifer In "Evangeline."-

S15,O0O,0O0 is the known toll OF
foods In five southern states.
Although the waters are receding In
nearly all districts, railroad and tele-

WILL Be NO WAR
SAYS CARRANZA
MEXICO AND UNITED STATES
NOW ON GOOD TERMS, SAYS
DE FAcTo RULER.
General Amnesty to be Proclaimed
When Order Is Established in
Mexico and Many Reforms to
be Instituted.

Mexico City.-General Carranza in
an interview Friday said that the stat
us of the negotiations with Washing
ton was very satisfactory as the re-
suit of the good will shown to each
other by Mexico and the United States.
Thanks to this feeling of good
WILL" the first chief continued, I'VE will
be able to avoid war War is some
thing l do not desire, but II there were
no other remedy for the situation l
would enter upon It,"
General CarranZa, however, refused
to discuss the situation as it related
to the possible action of President
Wilson or of the Latin-American ma
lions which offered to mediate In the
trouble between the United States and
Mexico. Within a short time, the first
chief said, there would be incorporat-
ed In the constitution of Mexico all the
reforms which now find place in the
program of the constitutionalists. In a
large measure, he declared, some of
these reforms already are in opera
items and there remains only their In
corporation into the fundamental laws
Of the country.
The presidential election, Carranza
said, would take place as soon as the
work Of reconstructing the constitution
had been completed and when the
country was at peace.
The de facto government. the first
chief asserted, will pass law of am
nesty, SO that all Mexicans who have
left the country for one reason or an.
other can return If they desire. Such
law, however, he said, would not be
promulgated as long as the govern
ment was not on firm basis, because
among some of the Mexicans now liv
ing abroad there are those who would
return to Mexico to conduct agitationt
and disturb labor conditions.
AS for myself, personally, l do not
care" General Carranza declared, "but
do care, of course, for the govern
ment and the country The work o.
bringing about the political reconstruc
ton of Mexico is most difficult ant
must be carried forward under peace
full conditions. Let these Mexicani
who are disturbers stay where they are
until such time as the country has {
constitution and government. Their
they can return and work"
