nounce allegiance to the de facto gov
eminent of Mexico and flock to his
standard, and together would attempt
to give battle to the approaching Ameri-
cans. Instead of abandoning Carranza,
the garrison put up a heroic defense of
the town and in a twenty-hour fight
drove Villa off, killing many of his men,
ranging in number from eighteen to
fifty. and wounding many more.
Col. Erwin had hoped to arrive at
Guerrero in time to engage Villa, but in
this he was disappointed. The bandit
leader had been whipped and it was
reported by men who said they saw him
fall and carried away from the field. so
badly wounded that it is among the posi-
bilities that he may never again lead his
men in battle.
1t was reported to Col Erwin that the
remnant of Villas defeated band had
fled southwark toward Minaca, and with
out giving his command time to more
than feed the horses. Col. Erwin began
the pursuit. He rode all Tuesday and
all night Tuesday night. and at 6 o'clock
Wednesday morning reached San Ger
onimo, where the bandits had spent the
night in fancied security. 1t had been
Erwin's intention to surprise Villas men
with the hope of capturing the wounded
leader, but in that he was disappointed
because of the roughness Of the country
through which he was compelled to make
his heartbreaking march.
Erwin would still have been able to sur
prise the bandit band. so early did he
reach his rendezvous. but either a friendly
native or a hard riding outpost gave the
alarm Of his approach.
Run for Horses.
Just as Erwin's advance guard rode
into town, the bandits began to tumble
out of the houses in which they had
slept, and made toward corrals in
which their horses were kept. The
Americans opened fire, which was
warmly responded to by a few of the
bandits, but most of them later be-
gan a retreat toward the hills. BY
this time the main body of Erwin's
worn-out squadron had reached the
streets in which the vanguard were
fighting, and the battle became gen.
eral. The main body of the bandits
fed, while the rear guard attempted
to check the Americans.
Then the bandits, finally dismayed
at the losses indicted in the fight at
the corrals and in the streets, took to
their heels. Erwin, after having made
sure no armed men were secrsted in
the houses and jackaIs Of the Village,
took the trail of the flying bandits
-eBd followed them for five hours, or
till they had been disintegrated into
parties of two and three, and had
practically disappeared from the face
of the earth.
From prisoners taken 1t was learned
that Villas wounds are serious, and
that the disabled leader was taken to
the home of friends in the mountains
for safekeeping till he shall have re-
covered sufficiently to again take the
field.

Committee of Struggle to Exc
Out Existence.

moved to sympathy a subcommittee of
the House Committee on labor yesterday.
Harry Goldman, a white messenger IN

mum in the government service, when
he said:
Il tell you. gentlemen, you don't know
what IT means to try to live on s. a
day when you have family OF four,
including a wife who isn't strong. It's
denial and hardship all the time
Just to illustrate the things that worry
me, 1 want to tell you about last
Christmas. We have a little girl 6 years
old.
She wanted a tricycle. last Christmas,
and she used to pray for it. and get us
to write notes to Santa Claus My
wife and l promised it to her. We
thought We could make it. Just before
Christmas came saw we would not
have the money The wife and talked
it over and there was only one of two
things to do-tell the child there was not
any Santa Claus, or let Christmas morn
ing come without the tricycle.. We were
compelled to tell her the truth"
Goldman told the committee that his
youngest child, a baby of five months
wore linens that were made over from
his WORKOUT Undertaking. He has
never been able to purchase talcun
powder, he said, for the newest born.
