The Americans were able to account
for this only in the light OF reports
they had received that villa himself

week before them over this trail. They
had been assured that the wagon over

canvas was thereupon ripped off TO

They saw for themselves condrma-
tion OF the report that It was hardly
worth while to right the overturned
wagon. because the trails ahead were
impossible to wheeled vehicles. So
they struck almost straight south, over
the precipitous San Borja trail, where
their native guides abandoned their
horses to proceed afoot, assuring the
foolish Americanos" that the trail
could never be made by the big cavalry
horses from the states. The guides
walked. the cavalrymen walked and so
did the precious horses. climbing every
boulder that the men surmounted.
New Evidence Of Whereabouts.
They reached San BorJa. where they
received the only report on their entire
trip that Villas wound was not serious.

they struck at Casa Colorado, 10 miles

Thereupon Major Howze,s column

TO DENOUNCE SCHOOL
SYSTEM HERE, PLAN OF
PROPOSED GATHERING
Call Issued by Germantown
Patrons in Protest Against
Removal of Principal
Sowden From Fitler
NEW CODE ADVOCATED

Steps to hold n mass-meetlng in the
metropolitan Opera House were taken to-
day by citizens of Germantown TO pro-
test against the Board of Education in its
general management of the school sys-
tenn here. The transfer of William H.
Sowden, principal of the Filter Public
School, against the wishes of Germantown
patrons brought matters to n climax.
Hundreds of letters were sent out to
civic, fratcrnal, business and industrial
associations In all parts of the city call
ing attention to the necessity of amending
the school code. These communications
were signed by Samuel j. Houston chair
man of the committee appointed by the
parents who protest against Mr. Sowden's
removal.
NEW CODE PLANNED.
The chief purpose of the proposed
meeting Is to discuss the advisability of
taking steps to amend the school code.
If the Board of Education were made
an elective instead of an appointive body,
1t is contended that the people would
have n more equal chance
In discussing the matter, Mr.. Houston
said the Board of Education seemed to be
able to do just as 1t pleased. THE
people have no say whatever and cant
even cross the first line of trenches" he
said. ~ know of no other place which
has Board of Education selected in such
a manner.
"The proposed meeting is not aimed at
any individual. The case of Principal
Sowden just brought matters to a climax
There are other instances in which the
Board of Education showed poor Judg-
ment. These cases were never brought to
light because the people had no support
back of them and no organized move
ment."
Many organizations throughout the city,
1t is said. have expressed n willingness to
participate In such n meeting and 1t Is
proposed to select representatives at the
meeting for each organization which
takes part in the movement. These
representatives will form n general com
mittee and map out definite lines to
bring about the proposed legislation.
1t is the hope of those planning the
mass-meeting to hold 1t within the next
three weeks.
