Much Interest Felt Over Presence of Scott-Cclumbu Prepared to Con- tinue Operations as Main Base
 of Punitive Expedition

San Antonio, Tex, April 21.-Maj Gen. Hugh L. Scott chief of staff of the United States army, and Gen. Frederick Funston, and in Mexico discussed tonight the prob lems that have grown out of the punitive expedition in pursuit of Francisco Villa. General Scott arrived from Washington tonight and was met by General Funston, then going immediately to General Funs- tons headquarters at Fort Sam Hous- ton.
 General Scott was sent here by Secre- tary of War Baker to discuss the situa- ton in detail with General Funston and to make to the secretary a personal re- port.
 This report, it is anticipated will have much to do with determining the future course of the United States government in the pursuit of Villa. It was under stood that General Scott does not con- template visiting either Fl Paso or Co., lumbus, the American base of operations, before making his report to Secretary Baker.
 Meanwhile the punitive forces remain inactive and no forward movement is ex- pected pending the outcome of General Funston informing him of the position of his command, but no mention was made of the activity by either American or Mexican troops
 Complete details of the operations of crossed the boundary at Columbus were in readiness tonight for presentation to General Scott, and it was not believed that his investigation will detain him here longer than a day or two.

 BY SOUTHERN NINE

 Stephenson was on the mound for South ern and hurled fine game. Together with fast fielding Stephenson never all lowed the Baptists to become dangerous. Quarles caught for Southern.
 Duke was on the hill for Howard and was hit rather freely. He was also given poor support. Lindsay caught.
 The second game of the series will be played this afternoon the Baptists' campus, .Boozer will probably pitch for Howard With zackery on the hill for Southern.

'~oAhsA-.ecu {. s.eN vessy over the question of proofs sub mitted herein, convinces the court the one. Francis Bacon is the author.
 Judge Tuthill in his decision said;
 WAS NOT EDUCATED
 That William Shakespeare, was born April g. 1564; that he went to London about 1886 or 15S7, and for a time there- after he made his living working for Burbage; that he later became an actor in Burbage's theatre, and in traveling theatrical scompanies that he retired about 1909 or 161O to live in Stratford-on- Avon, where he engaged in business at the time of his death on April 23, 1616 and that Shakespeare was not an educat- ed man. are allegations which the court finds true.
 '"rhe court further finds that Francis Bacon was born January 26, 1560; that he was educated not only in English, but in French, Latins Italian German and had general education equal to or supe- rior to any one of his age; that he was the compiler of book of 1860 axioms and phrases selected from the greatest authors and books of all time; that in his youth literary people were drowned upon in England, but in Paris literary people were in the favor of the reign ing powers, and literature was having a renassance. Bacon went to Paris in his early youth and spent several years in this atmosphere.
 The court takes judicial notice of his- torical facts and facts well known and finds that there has been for 60 years a controversy over the authorship of cer tain works which were published shortly after the death of Shakespeare and at tributed to Shakespeare; that the ques- ton always has been an open question among scholars of equal authority and standing in the world of letters, litera- ture and knowledge to the authorship of the aforementioned works. and that vast bibliography, estimated by those who are in a position to know at 20,000 volumes, has been written in discussion of the vexed question.
 USED AS SOBRIQUET
 fThe court further finds that by pub lished and acknowledged works of Fran cs Bacon there is given cipher which Bacon devised in his early youth when in Paris called the bilateral cipher; that the witness, Elizabet Wells Gallup, has applied that cipher according to the di- rections left by Francis Bacon, and has found that the name and character of Shakespeare were used as a mask by Francis Bacon to publish philosophical facts, stories and statements contributing to the literary renaissance ill England which has been the glory of the world.
 The court further finds that the claim of the friends of Francis Bacon that he is the author of said works of Shake speare, and the facts and circumstances in the real bibliography of the contro- versy over the question of authority and the proofs submitted herein, con- vinced the court that Francis Bacon is the author'
 Mr. Selig alleged that the publication of the book tending to prove that Bacon wrote the Shakespeare plays would injure him in his project of making moving pie tures of plays commonly attributed to Shakespeare.
