to capture Villa, was killed in Satur-
days battle with the bandits, his COM

Salinas, who succeeded to the COM

Large forces of bandits, under per-
sonal command of Villa, were en-
camped at Fresno, only ten miles west
of Chihuahua City last night, menac-
ing the largest and best fortified city
in northern Mexico, according to these
reports
From Mexican official sources no
verification of these reports was avail
able. Since SatuI days battle between
Carranzistas and Vil1istas, an unusual
ly, rigid censorship has been main
tanned by de facto officials and repre-
sentatives of mining companies were
allowed to send only meager details of
the fighting. Chihuahua City papers
print little of the battle, except to say
there was heavy fighting, resulting in
a victory for the Carranzistas.

Fear of the machine of the city

court for the first time in her life,
may keep Mrs. william Eckert, 519
East Eighth avenue, from taking her
claim for damages against the city to
the courts. Such was a statement
made this morning by Mrs. Eckert.
Thru her attorney, Mrs. Eckert filed
a claim Saturday against the city

The Topeka school board will be
hosts to a dinner given to superintend-
ents and school boards of Kansas cities
of the first class Wednesday evening,
November s, preceding the Kansas
State Teachers association conven-
ton
At the dinner an effort will be made
to formulate the legislative stand of
the school systems of the larger cities
of the state. The chief point of dis
cussion will be the present law fixing
the limits of school 1evies for different
purposes School men of the state
claim that this law which not only
fixes arbitrary limits for the levies
but forbids the use of school funds for
any but the purposes named in the
levy has cost Kansas schools hundreds
of thousands of dollars in interest on
unpaid warrants and bonds.
The cities that viii be represented
at the dinner are Kansas City, Kan,
Parsons, Wichita, Pittsburg, Hutchin-
son, Leavenworth, Atchison, Fort
Scott and Salina.

CHARGE REFUTED
Prop Knocked From Under
Democrat Allegation.
"Hyphenate" Wires Hughes
Made No Such Promise.

New York, Oct "a telegram
from Frank Seiberlich of Boston, was
given out here today by the Repub-
lican national committee in support
of the denial by Charles E. Hughes
last night of the Democratic national
committees statement that the Repub-
lican party candidate entered into
secret agreement with the American
Independent conference of which
Seiberlich and jeremiah A O'Leary
are members.
The telegram reads:
The statement made by Mr.. Hughes.
relatively to conference with the
American Independent conference is
absolutely true. Mr.. Hughes saw the
committee of which 1 was a member
made no promises did not criticise
Theodore Roosevelt and made a state
ment to the committee that he stood
for all American right"
William R. Wilcox, Republican ma
tional chairman said in making the
telegram public that it was a volun-
tary message unsolicited by the ma
tional committee. The charge of the
Democratic national committee con-
tanned what purported to be a report
made by Mr.. OLeary at a session of
the conference i'll Chicago of what oc-
CURED at a meeting between Mr.
Hughes and the committee headed by
OLeary. The latter was quoted in the
report as having said:
Not a Shred of Evidence,
Mr.. Hughes promised that his fu-
ture conduct in the speechmaking
line would be entirely satisfactory to
he interests Of the committee"
Mr.. Wilcox today characterized the
Democratic committee report as a fl
asco, attempt to prove a "hyphenate
alliance" on Mr.. Hughes's part
There is not shred of evidence
that Mr.. Hughes had knowledge that
OLeary would make a statement to
the Independent conference of prom
ises to frame his speech to please the
hyphenates." declared Mr.. Wilcox
Mr. Wilcox said he had no part
in arranging for the O'Leary commit
tee to meet Mr.. Hughes. but if it had
been called to his attention he would
not have objected.
The chairman said he makes no eff
fort to keep ANY nittee of legiti-
mate citizens away from Mr.. Hughes
