VILLA YAoUI INDIAN

Who is Francisco Villa? Who is the man who, with a handful of adherents, is now defying two nations to bring about his capture?
 In view of the fact that the whole western hemisphere has its eyes on Villa as the individual who has kicked up one large cloud of trouble, the statement issued here recently by David Villa as to who Francisco Villa really is comes with unusual interest at this time.
 Francisco Villa is not Francisco Villa at all;. he is not tven Mexican He is nothing more than full-blooded Yaqui Indian, says David Villa, who reSents the fact that the name of a noble family should have been used by Q man who, he says, is no more en- titled to it than Sitting Bull or Fight ing Bear would have been.
 David Villa is the scion of noble Castilian family which for many years previous to the revolution wielded a powerful influence in Mexican affairs His father is wealthy cattle baron of Lower California and his uncle con- trolS extensive land and mining inter- ests in that and other sections of Mexico. He is here as the guest of A. T. Solomon. special deputy sheriff and court interpreter, who lives at 206 West Fifty-ninth place.

 BODY IF PECK
Republican A. p. Leased WIre]

NEW YORK, March 29.-District Attorney Edward Swann centered his efforts tonight upon locating Eugene Oliver Kane, who emblamed the body of John E. Peck, wealthy Grand Rapids druggist for whose murder his son-in-la law, Dr. Arthur Warren Waite, is under arrest here. Kane's arrest has been ordered on the charge of conspiracy to commit a crime.
 Waite is said by MT. Swann to have asserted that Kane accepted 5000 in cash and a check for $9,400 as part payment of $25,O00 he was to be paid for swearing that he used arsenic Ill embalming Peck's body. This ar engagement, Waite said, according to the district attorney was made after an autopsy on Peck's body disclosed the presence of a large quantity of arsenic. Waite, in statement made to the district attorney and others, IS said to have confessed not only to poisoning Peck, but placing germs of virulent diseases in the food of Mrs. Peck, who died at Waite's apartment six weeks before her husband.
 John $. Potter, the undertaken who had charge of Peck's funeral and who employed Kane as embalmer, was eX- amined this afternoon and tonight at the district attorneys office. Potter reiterated denials that he had any part in the alleged negotiations be- tween Kane and Waite except to send Kane to the dentists apartment when tl<, ,rrl. nf the embalming fluid used on Peck body. He said however, that he re- ceived a letter from Waite asking him and Kane not to telephone hlm, as Waite believed his telephone wire had been tapped and also telling him he need not worry about his check
 Kane embalmed the body of Mrs. Katherine Adams, in the famous Molineux case, and Potter was the undertaken who attended to the body of William M Rice, for whose death Albert T. Patrick was tried.
 Intellectual efforts were made by Mrs. Margaret Weaver Horton, Waite's friend, who has been closely questioned by the district attorney, to obtain per mission to visit Waite at Bellevue hos pital. Her attorney. Harold Spielberg, intimated that if neither he nor Mrs. Horton is allowed to see Waite to- morrow he will take some action. Mrs. Horton in a letter to Waite today, eX- pressed her sympathy and confidence in his innocence.
 Emphatic denials of reports that | financial or other assistance has been or will be given by them to Dr. Waite was contained in a statement issued by 1 the members of the Peck family. The statement also was said to represent the opinions and feelings of Mrs. Clara 1 Louise Waite, the young dentists wife.

ANTICIPATION

The wild havoc affectation makes in that part of the world which should be most polite is visible wherever We turn our eyes: it pushes men not only into impertinences in conversations. but also in their premeditated speech, es. At the bar it torments the berch.s whose business it is to cut off all superfluities in what is spoken before it by the practitioner: as well as sey- eral little pieces of injustice which arise from the law itself I have seen it make a man run from the purpose before judge who was, when at the bar himself, so close and logical a rleader that with all the pomp of eloquence in his power, he never spoke word too much.-Steele.
