 BROUGHT ON SHIP ID SAN DIEGO
Republican A. P. Leased Wlre1

SAN DIEGO, Cal, April 16.-The United States steamer Glacier arrived here today from Mazatlan, Mex, with 73 American and British refugees who fled from the west coast of Mex ico because of what they described as unbearable conditions. Among the number were three American colonists from the Island of Palmetto Del Verde, 60 miles south of Mazatlan. The refugees confirmed earlier re- ports of the murder of three Amer jeans, Walter Wallace, Dr. F. c. Burke and Roderick Davidson, and a Spaniard named Rodriguez. by ban dits near Rosario
 Central Mexico swarms with Villa sympathizers, according to Frederick Thompson, of San Francisco, one of the leaders of the Palmetto Del Verde colonization movement Thompson declared that these sympathizers take every advantage to stir up anti American feeling.
 A small number of Americans were left behind to guard the property of the Palmetto Del Verde company un- til normal conditions again prevails along the coast, when the colonists plan to return.
 A majority of the refugees said they left Mexico because of the mo- tices sent to all Americans in the state of Sinalos by w. E. Alger, American vice consul at Mazatlan:
 ''To Americans of Sinaoloa: Am convinced that the situation in this district is such that it would be common prudence for Americans to leave. I would advise that this be done as quietly as possible or without undue publicity In issuing this ad- vice I am obeying to the letter my instructions from Washington"
 Among the refugees who arrived on the Glacier were Martin Rasmus- sen, his wife and four daughters. British subjects, residing at Blair; T. c. Taylor, of Chicago, and D. H. Johnston, of Salt Lake City, Utah.

MEXICO CITY, April 16.-Villa's dead body has been dug up out of a two weeks old grave by Carlos Car. ranza, nephew of General Carranza, the first chief of the constitutionalists and is now being brought by him and an escort of soldiers to the city of Chihuahua.
 This information was contained in Q telegram received by the war de- partment late this afternoon.
 According to the dispatches thus far received Villas death was due to the amputatiOn of one of his legs made necessary by wounds received by him in the fighting around Guer- TOTO. After being desperately wound ed he was carried by his followers to the town of Temosachic, where the amputation was performed by a vil- lage doctor.
 As soon as the bandit chief could he moved he was carried south to the town of Cusihuiriachic, 39 miles distant. Here, according to the story he fingered for a few days, suffering greatly before death ended his career
 The identity of the wounded man had been kept secret from the will lagers and he was buried at night so as to attract as little attention as possible.
 The escort which carried the wounded chieftain from Temosichic to Cusihuriachic was a colonel who later was surrounded by Constitution alists forces and surrendered. He asked for amnesty and promised to 1 lead the constitutionalists to the grave of Villa.
 Young Carranza and an escort were detailed to accompany him and body was dug up by them and. ac- cording to a telegram was identified as that of Villa.
 Cusihuirachic is about 7S miles southwest of Chihuahua City. The body it is announced is being brought in by train and will be publicly ex- hibited at Chihuahua City
 General Oblegon. minister of war when asked by the Associated Press regarding the report of the bandits death said:
 q cannot yet confirm the report of i Villas death. Late this afternoon the war department received a tele- gram from General Gavira saying that Villas body had been recovered. Later information that the body had been disinterred through infor- nation furnished by a Villa officer was received I telegraphed to vari- ous sections of the north asking for further details and for information i that will leave no doubt regarding the report.

NEW YORK, April 16.-A pledge to reprove violations of the natural rights of the Jews is made by Pope Benedict through Cardinal Gasparri, papal sec retary of state, in his reply to the ap- peal sent to him by a committee of prominent American Jews, urging that he intercede in alleviating the perse- cution to which members of their race have been subjected in various parts of the world The letter from the Vat ican, made public here today says:
 The supreme pontiff has with inter- est taken notice of the letter bearing date of December 30 1915 which you have been pleased to address to him in the name of the three million Jewish citizens of the United States of Amer lea, in order to communicate to him Eenerally the treatment to which your co-religionists complain that they have been exposed in various regions, and at the same time you have requested him Co interpose the weight of his supreme moral and spiritual power in order that these sufferings may be terminated by an act of that humanity to which the u.
 The supreme pontiff is unable to express himself concerning the special facts referred to in the memorandum submitted with your letter, but in principle, as the head of the Cath olic church, which, faithful to it's di- vine doctrine and to it's most glorious traditions, considered all men as breth- ren and teaches them to love one an other, he will not cease to inculcate the observance among individuals as among nations of the principles of natural right and 10 reprove every violation of them. This right should be as to all men, for it would not conform to jus tice and to religion itself to derogate therefrom solely because of a differ ence of religious faith.
 Moreover. in his paternal heart. pained by the spectacle of the exist ing horrible war. the supreme pontiff feels in this moment more deeply than ever the necessity that all men shall recollect that they are brothers and that their salvation lies in the return Co the law and love, which is the law of the gospels. He also desires to in- terest to this end all who, especially by reason of the sacred attributes of their pastoral ministrations, are able to bring efficient aid to their import ant result.
 Tn the meantime, his holiness re- 5oices in the unity which in civil mat ters exists in the United States of America among the members of differ ent faiths, and which contributes SC powerfully to the peaceful prosperity of your great country. He prays God that peace may at length appear for the happiness of the humanity of which you truly say the holy father is the guardian"

 LOS ANGELES, Cal, April 16.-E. P.

He discussed the possibility of passing one or two div idends' if the demands were enforced and cautioned the men against action which might jeopardize their positions. but will not help the men,"
 "The men who pull the throttle or feed the fire or ride the freight trains or wield the conductors punch" MT Ripley said, ''are no more necessary to the operation of the railroad than those who care for the track or build the bridges or the engines, or those who work the pen in the various stations or offices. All may by their efforts con- tribute to the amount to be divided but no amount of quarreling as to the terms of the division will make that amount larger. If everybody will work for greater earnings he may be sure he will get his share-but he cannot permanently increase that share by grabbing for it.
 "A strike will cost the company a great deal of money-perhaps necessi- tate the passing of one or two divi- dends, working much hardship on many innocent people, but it will not help the men and after the loss of wages and standing other men will take their places and the work go on.

Washinaton Receives Report

WASHINGTON, April 16-First of ficial news of the attack on American soldiers at Parral last Wednesday reached the war department tonight in a relayed report from Brigadier General Pershing, telling how Car ranZa soldiers joined civilians of the Mexican town in an unprovoked as sault upon two troops of the Thir- teenth cavalry, under Major Frank Tompkins, killing two and wounding six of the troopers. The messages said it was reported privately that forty Mexican soldiers, including a major, were killed and one civilian wounded.

Secretary Baker made the report public without comment other than to say it spoke for itself. It differed entirely from unofficial versions of the incident ard from the information furnished by General Carranza. who said the attack was made by civilians in spite of efforts by Mexican soldiers to maintain order.
 in addition 10 the two men killed, Major "ompllins reported one missing, It is thought probable here that the missing man was the courier who ac- cording 10 a message to the Mexican embassy today from General Obregon, was sent forward to notify the Parral authorities of the approach of the American troops and who failed to ar rive.

 The farmer gets more out of the fair than anyone else The fair to a city man is an entertainment; to a farmer it is education. Let us take a stroll through the fair grounds and finger a moment at few of the points of greatest interest. We will first visit the mechanical department and hold communion with the worlds greatest thinkers.
 You are now attending a congress of the mental giants in mechanical sci ence of all ages. They are addressing you in tongues of iron and steel and in language mute and powerful tell an eloquent story of the worlds progress. The inventive geniuses are the most valuable farm hands we have and they perform an enduring service to mankind. We can all help others for a brief period while we live, but it takes master mind to tower into the realm of science and light torch of progress that will illuminate the path way of civilization flor future genera tions. The men who gave us the sickle, the binder, the cotton gin and hundreds of other valuable inventions work in every field on earth and will continue their labors as long as time Their bright intellects have conquered death and they will live and serve mankind on and on forever, without money and without price. They have shown us how grand and noble it is to work for others; they have also taught us lessons in economy and eff ciency. how to make one hour do the work of two or more; have length ened our lives. multiplied our opportunities and taken toi1s of the back of humanity
 They are the most practical men the world ever produced. Their in- ventions have stood the acid test of utility and efficiency Like all useful men, they do not seek publicity, yet millions of machines sing their praises from every harvest field on earth and as many blows turn the soil in mute applause of their marvellous achieve ments.

RURAL SOCIAL cENTERS

We need social centers where our young people can be entertained, amused and instructed under the di- rection of cultured. clean and com petent leadership. where aesthetic surroundings stir the love for the beautiful. where art charges the at. mosphere with inspiration and power, and innocent amusements instruct and brighten their lives.
 To hold our young people on the farm we must make farm life more attractive as well as the business of farming more remunerative. The school house should be the social unit, properly equipped for nourishing and building character, so that the lives of our people can properly function around it and become supplied with the necessary elements of human thought and activity.

FARMER RADFORD ON
 WOMAN SUFFRAGE

The home is the greatest contribu- tion of women to the world, and the hearthstone is her throne. Our. so- cial structure is built around her, and social righteousness is in her charge. Her beautiful life lights the skies of hope and her refinement is the charm of twentieth century civilization. Her graces and her power are the cumu- lative products of generations of queenly conquest, and her crown of exalted womanhood is jeweled with the wisdom of saintly mothers She has been a great factor in the glory of our country, and her noble achieve ments should not be marred or her hallowed influence blighted by the coarser duties of citizenship. Ameri- can chivalry should never permit her to bear the burdens of defending and maintaining government, but should preserve her unsullied from the allied influences of politics, and protect her from the weighty responsibilities of the sordid affairs of life that will crush her ideals and lower her stand ards. The motherhood of the farm is our inspiration, she is the guardian of our domestic welfare and guide to a higher life, but directing the af- fairs of government is not within wo- mans sphere, and political gossip would cause her to neglect the home, forget to mend our clothes and burn the biscuits.
