BODY THROWN IN BONFIRE.
After Murdered American Had Been Dead
Four Days.

Ell Paso, Tex, Nov. 20.-An unidenti
| fled American was killed when a Villa
band took Jiminez, and four American.
were seen under guard OF bandits al
Parral during Villas occupation of that
town, according to reports, believed by
federal agents to be authentic, brought
to the border by refugees.
Refugees further state that the dis
trict between Parral and Jiminez has
been cleared by Villas followers OF more
than 200 Chinese The American killed
at Jiminez was described as about 60
years of age, and known to be from
Torreon on his way to Chihuahua City.
He was murdered, said the refugees, in
the Jiminez hotel, and his body lay for
some time in front of the building. After
being robbed of clothing and valuables,
it was placed on a bonfire.
The same refugees, who claim to have
been witnesses of the outrages, also say
that two Mexican women, who had mar
ried Chinese and their five half-caste
children, were found and thrown alive
into the fire and eremated in sight of the
crowd The l~dies of seven murdered
Chinese, according to the same authori-
ty, were seen in the streets of the town.
Two Mexicans who escaped from Par
raj affirm that they saw four Americans
there under a Villa guard. They said
these men had lived in the town, adding
that they heard that the Americans who
were working at the Alvarsdo mines, got
away. Another report was that the bod
les of 35 gypsies of both sexes were
seen on the roadside near Parral, muir
dered and robbed by Villa bandits. The
gypsies were believed to be of Syrian
origin.
All foreigners that Villa has caught,
except Japanese and Germans, have been
put to death, the reports agree, and even
he Germans are said to have suffered
1t least in the instance of Theodore Hoe |
muller of Parral.
The Chinese are called the heaviest |
sufferers The fact that none are to be |
een in the district in which they for |
nerly did large mercantile business, is |
AIKEN by the refugees as proof that all, |
over 200, met the fate OF |

EDUCATING THE ALIEN.
U. S. Department of Labor to Extend
Privileges of Night School.

Washington, ID. c., November 20.-lt is
the purpose of the bureau of naturaliza-
tion OF the IT, s. department of labor to
extend the privilege OF attendance upon
the public night schools of the country
to every candidate for citizenship wher-
ever he may make his home. Hereto
fore, this work, nationwide and impor-
tant as it is, has been restricted to ur
ban centers. 1t is now proposed, in CO.
operation with the public school author
tiles, to carry this great educational
campaign into the rural communities.
With this end in view, the bureau of
naturalization is suggesting to every
county superintendent of schools
throughout the United States the ad-
visibility of opening the doors of the
county school houses at night for alien
instruction and stands ready to support
the movement to every way possible in
its application to the candidate for citi-
zenship.
In many counties general or special
public evening schools are already in OPP
Grafton and to these admission is re-
quested for the adult foreign born so
that they must receive instruction in
English and civics. Where it is found
impractica BILE to gather the citizenship
candidates in the school room, plan
has been mapped out whereby the stu
dents may pursue their studies at home.
They will be able to obtain the course OF
instruction from the school teachers of
their respective districts, reporting by
appointment as often as necessary for
such further help as may be needed.
Where no funds are available, it is
suggested that the work be taken up
by volunteer teachers and continued un
til such time as appropriations may be
made for the maintenance of the rural
night schools. 1t is reasonable to as
sumo that practical demonstration of
the advantages of instruction for the
foreign born in the more sparsely set |
tied country districts will cause the state
and local authorities to provide funds for
their future operation.
Citizenship classes maintained for
adult foreigners in the public night |
schools are of vital Importance locally |
and nationally. Patriotic considerations
demand that men and women of for |
eign birth, who have decided to make |
this country their country, should be
helped, through education, to understand |
the principles of American government |
and encouraged to install American Gus.
toms and ideals in their home life.

Her machine, small biplane, has a

Miss Law covered distance of 7S5
miles in six hours and 50 minutes, time
being deducted for the descent at Hor-

"THE WORST is OVER"
So Far as Culebra Cut Is Concerned,
Says Goethals.

! Washington, ID. c., Nov. 20.-SharI
language is employed by Major General
George w. Goethals, governor of the
Panama canal zone. in replying to pub
| lshcd criticisms of the big waterway
which he charges have seriously affected
| its commercial rating. In his annual
report, made public by the war depart
ment, the governor declares that the
earth movements which have frequently
interrupted traffic through the canal
finally will be overcome for all time.
General Goethals geos into a lengthy
review of the geological problems which
have been encountered, of the steps tax
en- to overcome such obstacles. and the
measure of success attained. So far as
the Culebra cut is concerned, he said.
"the worst is over, the intervals between
movements are becoming greater and the
quantities of material less"
The report replies to the published
statements of Professor Benjamin Leroy
Miller of Lehigh university and former
Senator Thomas Kearns of Utah. The
charges made in each case, General
Goethals brands as Erroneous. unwar-
ranted and unfair" 1t is shown in the
report that during a part of the fiscal
wear 1916, during which the canal was
opened. All vessels passed from the At
lantic to the Pacific and 376 in the other
direction. OF all these, only OIL were en-
gagged in the American coast wise trade.
The total cargo tonnage handled was
$4,000, as against 4,969.792 the preced-
ing year, although the waterway was in
operation only five months last year
Commenting upon the reduction in coast
wise traffic shown, however, the report
says il was due principally TO the search
ty of ships for foreign trade which drew
American coasting vessels into that
service.
Difficulties of the present system of
lcvying tolls are recited, and General
Goethals again recommends that legisla- |
tion be sought making the earning ca
nacity of ship the basis upon which |
charges should be computed. He points |
nut that s2,399. $50 were collected in tolls
during 1916. Had the so-eslled Panama |
canal rules applied in measuring the
ships. he adds. this sum would have been
by approximately 100000.
