Ell Paso. Tex, Jan. 1S.-More than
100 refugees from Parral, Chihuahua
arrived here early today aboard a
special train from the Mexican mining
center. They reported that Villa ban
dts in groups were securing the coun-
try, clearing ranches, mines and 9TH
er property belonging to foreigners, OF
everything valuable. AS far as known
the refugees said no one was modest
ed after the IS Americans belonging
to the Cusihuirachio Mining Co. par
ty were massacred a week ago at San
ia Ysabel.
Saw Passports
The statement that the victims Of
the massacre did not carry safe con-
duct when they went into Mexico and
weru slain, was denied today by per-
sons who claim to have seen the pass
ports which were issued by General
Alvaro Obregon, the military chief
now at Queretaro with General Car
rama. Statements emanating from
Mexican officials that General Jacinto
Trevino had offered an armed guard
and that it was refused, also were de-
MED.
Many Remain
The refugees declared that Mexican
officials at Parral. Camargo and Chi
huahua City had urged them not to
leave Chihuahua state. promising pro-
lection against further violence, pro-
vided that they would gather at CEN
trail points, under the guns of Carran-
"a garrison. Many of the foreign res
idents, they added. had accepted these
conditions and would remain.
Obregon a "Prisoner"
n number of Americans aboard the
train made the statement that General
Obregon is practically a prisoner at
Querretaro.

At the last session of the Legislature of Maine
n law was enacted (similar to that in many
other states providing that all insurance COM

charging off and extinction Of the premium or
crediting and extinction of the discount involv-
ed in the purchase of the bonds thereby spread

date the amortization was made il sold to net
the same interest return as that at which 1t

Assistant Secretary Peters of Treas
ury Suggests Extension of Wash
ington-Boston Schedule.

Assistant Secretary Peters of the
Treasury is today taking up unofficially
with the interstate commerce commits
sion the question of endeavoring to
have the Pennsylvania railroad con-
tinue the operation of the once-aweek
Federal express between Washington
and Boston beyond the date of Sep
termer II. the last journey scheduled
for the train coming south. Mr.. Peters
is pointing out to the commission that
this train, originally run daily between
Washington and the big New England
city, was restored to a a-week
basis since the outbreak of infantile
paralysis in New York, so that children
going to New England from this city
and returning therefrom at the end
of their vacation might escape going
through New York altogether.
The train runs far around New York
by way of the Poughkeepsie bridge.

Every Seat Taken.

Mr. Peters understands that on the
last train leaving New England Septem-
ber II every seat has been taken, and
the demand is great for the continuance
of the train at least until October Is
and longer.
Mr.. Peters also informs the commits
sion that he believes, from informa ton
received by him. that the train should
be run much oftener than once a week
and that three times week would not
be too far apart. He has reason to be-
lieve that there would be sufficient
patronage for the train to run oftener
than now. He considers that not only
would the public health be benefited by
the increased operation in number of
trains, but that the public generally
would literally respond in its patronage
