ducers Oil company and the Slickert
oil company we're the principal losers.

LITTLE KNOWN Of
PROGRESS MADE
BY AMERICANS
PerShing'S Reports to General
Funston Tell Nothing Of
Troop Movements Since
Last Monday

San Antonio, Texas March 22,-
What progress General Pershing has
made in his pursuit of villa since
Monday was not known at General
Funston's headquarters today re-
port from General Pershng was re-
ceived here today, but 1t dealt with
affairs Of last Monday saying that il
had been reported to him that villa
and the Carranza troops were engaged
near Namiqups
At the time "A detachment of the
Seventh cavalry had reached Cruces
only few miles north of Namiquipa
and one Of the aeroplanes sent south
from Casas Grandes then Wastin COM
munication with that force Whether
the Americans came into contact with
Villas men yesterday or today was
merely guess work here
The aeroplane whose driver is be-
lived to have been Lieutenant Gorrell
reported missing south Of Casas
Grandes, was last seen going over
Colonia Juarez, settlement near
Casas Grandes, according to General
Pershing's report All but one of the
aviation squadron are accounted for,
according to reports received by Gen
Grad Funston. These reports show
two other machines temporarily out
of commission because of accident.
General Funston has no doubt that
in their own way the Carranza troops
are cooperating in the pursuit OF
Villa. but between the American forces
and the Mexican forces there has
been no communication and neither
side has knowledge of the details of
the others plans.
The greater part of the Mexican
newspapers that have reached here
have counselled their readers to re-
main calm and have refrained from
criticism Of the United States for send
ing American troops into Mexico One
of the exceptions was El Democratic
published in chihuahua
Under the caption "fhe Crown OF
Treason il attacked Villa for attack
ing Columbus, but continued:
we condemn and protest in the
most energetic manner against the in
vasion by the Yankees of our terri
tory; for although they may consider
Villa as a political personality and a
national representative, they cannot in
any manner consider his assault on
Columbus, \. NJ, as an offense of one
nation against another, and on this
account the passage of American
troops over the boundary line cannot
have any Justification and should be
taken as an act of violence or if pre-
ferred as an act of Wilsonian nervous
ness
FL Democratic added that the good
relations existing between the consti-
tutionalist government and the White
House should not be sundered and war
declared until all the formalities Of
right which precede such a declara-
ton shall have been gone through" "

JUSTIFIES SEIZURE OF
AMERICAN SECURITIES


London. March % (3:50 p. M )--
Replying to the formal protest of the
United States against the seizure of
American securities. the British gov
eminent will give to Ambassador
Page an informal interim answer in
which Great Britain will claim the
right to make such seizures because
their sale by Germans gives them
credit and this places the bonds in
the same category as gold shipments
Ambassador Page has presented a
number of specific complaints to the
British foreign office in behalf OF
American claimants of the seized Sc
curities. but no reply showing what
disposition the British government IN
tends-to make in these cases has yet
been received. 1t is understood the
ambassador will press for an early
reply.
There is a disineination in official
circles TO make any statement regard
ing the possible fate of these seized
securities as they constitute a con-
traband case which has no precedent.
and the government here is unques-
tionably alarmed by the threat Of
American owners of the seized GER
tificates 10 have them renderd scraps
of paper by petitioning the American
courts to compel the issuing Of cor
porations to replace them with new
issues.

Had Distinguished Career.

The death of Felix Martinez re-
moves from the stage of life one oi
the really noted figures of the south
west and one who has played con-
spicuous part in the development OF
this section. AS a statesman ana d
financier he had few equals, and ms
loss will be felt nowhere more keeniy
than in his native state of New Mex
leo. which was the beneficiary OF
some of his ablest efforts.
Mr.. Martinez was born in Taos on
the 2Sth day of March, 1867, and was
therefore only week short of 80
years of age at the time of his death.
He was the son of Felix T. and Reyes
Cordova Martinez, and was descend
ant of General Felix Martinez, who
was governor OF New Mexico in Ills.
He was educated by private teachers
and in the private schools of Mora
and Denver, and was recognized by
all who knew him as a profound
scholar and student of public affairs.
ON September "a, 1880. Mr.. Mar
tinez was married to Miss Virginia
Buster in Las Vegas. and for some
time afterwards was engaged in mer-
camille business in Las Vegas. In 1885
he sold out his mercantile business
and went into the real estate bus
mess in Las Vegas. In 1897 he moved
To El Paso, where he Immediately
took an active part in the business
life of that city. but at all times he
retained his legal residence in Las
Vegas and was always a dominant
factor in the politics of that section

Was Prominent Iinaneicr.
Mr.. Martinez was one of the or
ganizers of the El Paso Valley Water
Users association, which had most to
do with obtaining the federal appro-
pration for the Elephant Butte pro-
ject, the largest irrigation project in
the United States, which is now near
ing completion. He was a prominent
figure in the meeting between Pres
idents Taft and Diaz on the interna-
tional bridge between the United
states and Mexico presenting golden
goblets to both presidents in speech.
1t was perhaps as financier that
Mr. MARTINEZ was best known. For
many years he was a director Of the
First National bank ana the First
Mortgage company, of I1l Paso, sever
ing his connection with those institu-
tions in order to become member
of the board of directors of the re-
gional reserve bank at Dallas after
the enactment Of the present federal
reserve bank act, which office he held
at the time of his death
Mr. Martinez was a lifelong demo-
crat and was always active in the
councils of that party in New Mexico.
He was appointed by President Will
son as one of the commissioners to
visit South American countries in the
interest of the Panama Pacific expo
sition and did splendid work in pro-
noting better feeling between the
people Of the two Americas on the oc-
casion of that trip.
In the campaign for the election of
United States senators at the first ses-
sion of the first state legislature, in
1912, Mr. Martinez was a formidable
candidate for one of the senatorships,
and at one time was within one vote
Of election At the time Of his death
he was prominently mentioned as the
nominee of his party for United States
senator in the campaign which is to
take place next fall.
