Former Commander of Juarez Exc.
cuted by Villa Troops Near Chi
huahua. This is First Init.
nation of Closeness.

81 Paso, Tex, Feb. 2.--Former SOL
diers OF the disbanded Villa army Of
the north were responsible, according
to information brought here, for the
killing OF General Tomas Ornelas, for
mer commandant at Juarez. who was
taken from Mexican Central train. a
few miles north Of Chihuahua City
and shot to death after other passen-
gers, including two or three Ameri.
cans, had been robbed, and the, mails
and express boxes rifed.
Ornelas, charged with treachery by
Villa, a short time before the garrison
at Juarez surrendered to agents Of
Carranza in December, saved his life
by q flight to the American side of the
border. He was afterward granted
amnesty r. .E..
The belief is expressed here that
information of his departure from
Juarez for Chihuahua City was com
municated by spies to the bandits,
who lay in wait between the stations
of Laguna and Suaz, few miles north
Of chihuahua City, and held up the
train, robbed the passengers. and then
carried out Villas sentence of death.
This exploit was the first intimation
that bandits we're operating so close
to the Chihuahua state capital. where
Carranza military officials claim to
have a garrison of 3,G00 men. ..

TO KEEP APpAM At NORFOLK
Detention Made Because She Is a
Prize Ship and Subject To
the Prize Court.

Washington, Feb. 2.-The British
liner Appam will not be allowed to
leave Norfolk. While no formal
decision has been reached to this
effect, from high officials came the in.
formation that such action would be
determined upon.
Detention of the Appam by the
American government is based on
two things. First, as German
prize the ship will be held to prize
court adjudication. Second, as a
German navy auxiliary, the vessel is
subject to be interned The Appam
will eb held at Norfolk pending the
final decision under consideration.
From the British embassy came the
official determination that England
will request the ships release and
such a note is being prepared. Eng
land insists that the Appam is q
prize and as such in a neutral coun
! try is entitled to release and return
