VOTE ELECTED
WILSON, SAYS KANSAN

Pittsburg, Nov. live Repub-
licans gave the women of Kansas
the ballot. They used it against US
Tuesday. We have no kick coming
and should shut up and take the
medicine. Let's stand by the wo-
men"
Such is the attitude OF w. j. True
of Pittsburg. who was one of the
Republican candidates for presiden-
tial elector Tuesday. He is opposed
to any action to test the constitu-
tionality of the new election law.
The law provides that the voters
mark their ballots for the candidate
for president instead of for the
party electors.
81 think the law is not constitu-
tional," Mr.. True said, but the
voters expressed their desires plain
ly."

VILLA USED BRANDING
IRON ON CARRANZA MEN

Ell Paso, Nov. 11.-Another form
Of torture is being used by Villa and
his bandits, according to a refugee,
who arrived here. Instead of cutting
off the ears of the captured Car
rama soldiers, the refugees say
Villa has ordered them branded
with red hot irons, the branding
iron being crudely shaped to form
the letters "V. c." for Venustiano
Carranza,
A Carranza soldier, who escaped
from Santa Rosalia. reported having
seen many Carranza soldiers and
officers killed and mutilated after

FL Paso, Nov. 9.-Albert Herold'
the American who was arrested at
Guadalupe, southeast of Juarez, on
a charge of cattle stealing and
sent to chihuahua City by the mill
tary authorities, has been hberat-
ed. according to a message receiy-
ed by his friends here today.
According to them Herold was

bovs. who we're arrested at the
same time, were also released in
Juarez today. Herold was charged
with having been Villa officer at

Fishers execution by Villa bandits

stated that DR.. Fisher was stabbed
to death by the bandits.

VILLA ACTIVITY
HALTS AGREEMENT
Commission May
Adjourn Without Action
GEN. CARRANZA is WEAKENING
Following Reports of Successful
villa Attacks and Weakening
Carranza Power May De-
fer Settlement

Atlantic City, N. j.. Nov. IL
Confirmation of reports of the in
creased strength of various reac-
tionary movements in Mexico serv-
ed to offset today the apparent de-
termination of the members of the
Mexican American joint committee
to effect an early adjustment of the
problems the two governments are
facing.
Until official reports revealed the
truth of stories of Villas success in
the north and of the progress made
by other reactionaries there was a
probability that an agreement would
be entered into, perhaps next week.
That appeared less likely today and
the chance that formal adjourn
ment without agreement other than
one OF the most general character,
seemed more probable.
Reports received by the Ameri-
cans from official sources and 9th
ers received by the Mexicans from
their government, dealing with the
activities of Villa, were studied at
the conference of the commission
ers today.
The net result of the comparison
of the reports was to disclose that
General Carranza is now conducting
defensive campaign against Villa
with a battle at Escalon imminent
instead of prosecuting a campaign
against him.
The capture of Jiminez, Santa
Rosalia and Parral in the state Of
Chihuahua was confirmed. Genera
Murgia is in command of the Car.
rama forces now opposing Villas
southwark movement at Escalon
Under him is General Maycotte, who
was forced southwark from Jiminez
When the Carranza troops moved
southwark they tore up the railroad
tracks behind them, delaying the
pursuit by Villa, whose total force
is variously estimated at from Q
few hundred to 1000 men.

EMBARGO AGAINST
LOCAL COMPRESS
Railroad Agent Announces
No Intention to Discrimi-
nate Against Doris B.

An embargo against cotton billed to
the Pine Bluff Cotton Compress opm-
panys press, placed in effect about II
O'Clock Thursday forenoon, was re-
moved about $50 O'Clock yesterday
forenoon, by the Iron Mountain, and
the road is now receiving cotton for
the compress at all points, as prior
to the placing of the embargo.
d. G. Payne, local agent for the
Iron Mountain, said yesterday that
the embargo had been placed in effeo(t
merely that the company might be
able to serve all shippers alike in the
way of furnishing equipment neces-
sary to handle cotton, lumber and
other articles.
every shipper is aware of the
situation which now exists, over the
car shortage he said. "In this inl-
mediate section, cotton is moving to
market in almost overwhelming
quantity. We have been making
strenuous efforts to have all cars UNI
loaded as rapidly as possible, that
the cars might be kept in constant
use hauling other stuff. The great
amount Of dotton being received by

days or two weeks has caused an ac-
emulation OF cars there, and the en-
barge was placed merely to effect the
release OF those cars, that they might
be used to bring more cotton here or
! haul other freight"
! Mr.. PAYNE stated emphatically that
the Iron Mountain had no intention t.
discriminate against the Doris j.
compress or any other shipper or re-
! oliver Of cotton or other freight. but
i felt compelled to place the embargo
in eject for few hours, not only 10
release the accumulation of cars ct
the compress, but to prevent an in
crease IN such alleged accumulation
For the COMPRESS C,mpany it was
declared that the receipts had aggre-
gated 50 or so cars daily, if not more
tie past ton days or two weeks. and
that the cars were unloaded as rapid
ly as possible. and were not being al
lowed to lie idle.
