Almost on His Heels.


SAN ANTONIO, Texas, April 10
Continuing their drive toward Parral,
American troops today were believed
to be almost on the heels of Pancho
Villa. The bandit chieftain's where
abouts were not definitely known, but
officers at expeditionary headquarters
said they would not be surprised to
learn Of Americans reaching Parral
today. Parral is Villas reported OBJ
jective in the flight from San Ger
onimo through Sateyo. He was last
reported at the head of small band
somewhere between Satevo and Par
raj, leading his raiders for a dash
through the Carranzista Gordon
stretched to the south.
Major General Frederick Funston
today regarded as highly significant
reports of Carranzista cooperation
The courteous treatment received
from Carranzistas by the American
aviators who landed. at Chihuahua.
was gratifying to Funston. In addi
tion to these advices General Perish
ing's report on his visit TO San Ger
onimo where General Luis Herrera
called upon him, tended to brighten
the outlook. Herrera, once reported
to be revolving against Carranza-
promised Pershing full cooperation

Germans Claim Allies
Have Seized 40, ,135 Bags
of Mail Illegally

Berlin, Dec. 20, by wireless.-From
December of 1915 until the last of
September, 1916, the British and
French naval authorities seized 23,-
335 mail bags from Germany and &c.
500 bound for Germany" says the
Overseas News Agency. "Of those
from Germany, 17,110 bags of mail
We're bound for the United States and
6,225 were bound for South America
or Spain. OF the mail bags on the
way to Germany, 1887 were from the
United States and 2,43S from
South America or Spain. The re-
naming bags were in transit between
Germany and Dutch ports.
1T is shown by notes inscribed on
the few letters which were released
and forwarded to Germany that the
letters seized were read by both Brit
ish and French censors, who appar-
entity exchange seized mails, reading
the letter to gain clear insight into
trade relations of citizens of the
United States and South American
countries with Germany. Thus is
made possible establishment of the
blacklist and other measures.
The German Transportation Ga
zette states that these seizeures are in
contravention not only of the Interna-
tional Postal Union treaty, which is
valid in war times, but also of the con-
vention concluded at the second con-
ference at The Hague"

No "Schooling" He Says

When a mas pays a school tax of
% mills on the dollar, shouldn't his
children have an opportunity to so to
school?
j. A. Fisher, of Juniata township,
Huntingdon county was asking that
question of State school authorities in
Harrisburg to-day. Fisher complains
that the Stone Bridge school in his
township has not been opened this
year and that dozen pupils have not
had any schooling for that reason.
The school directors say they won't
open the school," said Fisher to the
Telegraph. Under the terms of the
school code, they must either open the
school or, where the distance to an
other school is over a mile and a half,
furnish transportation to that school.
Our school directors say they will do
neither. It's four miles to the next
choolhouse-much too far to walk
What did DR.. Schaeffer say about
it?''
WELL" said Fisher, "Dr. Schaeffer

living in a township so backward as
mine seems to be- But that doesn't

some action compelling the Juniata

NEGROES KILL
LABOR FOREMAN
NEAR MELVILLE
Beat in His Head With Shovel
When He Refuses to Let
Them Take Coal
ASSAILANTS IN JAIL
Wanted Fuel 10 Burn in Their
Shacks TO Keep Them
From Freezing

Carlisle, Pa, Dec. 2O.-The sudden
drop in temperature to near zero at
MELVILLE last night was the chief rea-
son for the murder of William TRY,
a foreman in charge of construction
work on the Cumberland Valley rail-
road, at the hands of three negroes
The night was bitter cold and the
negroes started to take coal from the
contractors supply to heat up their
shacks. When Ury tried to prevent
the theft of the coal an argument
resulted and one of the negroes hit
the foreman over the head with q
shovel, crushing in his skull.
TRY was rushed to the Carlisle Hos
pital, but he died at 2 o'clock this
morning. He was, 80 years old and
came from North Carolina to take
charge of the construction job here.
1t is understood that the man who
struck Foreman Try was James An-
thony. 1t appears that Charles Ham
let went to the pumping engine and
started to take away coal used under
the boiler to make fire at the shanty.
Try tried to prevent this and got into
quarrel witt. Hamlet. W1lliam Wall
ton tried to stop the fight, but was un-
successful. Anthony then came up to
the party and struck Ury with the
sharp edge of the shovel. cutting
through the skull Ury was first taken
to his home at MELVILLE and later
! brought to the hospital here, where
/ he died. His wife, who has been ill
for some time, is now in a serious
condition from shock.
Coroner ]. H. Deardorff, of Me-
! chanicsburg, held an autopsy at IL
! o'clock this morning. He has sum-
moned a jury which will meet to-mor-
row to act on the case
] Anthony, Hamlet and Walton are in
| jail, Anthony charged with murder
and Hamlet and Walton with assault
and battery.
