stated to-day that it was not purchas-
ing additional property at this time;
that it has all the property needed for
its present purposes and has secured

that were under option, but would
take those most desirable for the eX-
tensiVe plans which he has in mind.
His real estate plan is to carry out as
a private enterprise the incubator"
idea of the old Harrisburg Board of
Trade which was one of the most
promising things undertaken by that
organization and was allowed to lapse
after the organization was perfected.
The project contemplates the crea-
tion of an Industrial and distributing
center as outlined in the original
scheme of the Board of Trade five
years ago.
Mr.. Cummings said his options run
from March 81 to September Is and
that he has ample time to consum-
mate his deals. He also said that the

advsedly.

men made no secret of their belief to-
day that Francisco Villa had slipped
through the Gordon of American troops
and Carranza forces pursuing him in
Mexico.
The latest information was that the
bandit leader was moving through the
Santa Maria valley. Once among his

American troops misleading informa-
tion, Villa might escape detection for
a long time, ii was pointed out.
Rowing bands of Villa men are re-
ported everywhere in the region of
Santa Maria valley, but apparently
the American flying columns have not
come in contact with them.
Mexican officials said to-day they
had no news as TO the wherea bouts of
Villa, but that the troops of the de
facto government are aiding the Am
criCan soldiers in the attempt to cap
ture him.
In Danger of Betrayal
Ranchers from the Chihuahua dis

that there was a price upon Villa S
head, dead or alive, the bandit would
be in constant danger of betrayal.
