Ralph Cameron carried Maricopa county for national committeeman, according to partial returns from the republican primary election yesterday, when delegates to the county conven- tion of April 22 were chosen. Fen $. Hildreth, opponent of Mir. Cameron, admits the latter's victory but claims by somewhat less majority.
 The only division appearing in the county primary was on the question of national committeeman, and it was here that the fight was probably Warmest, because both candidates are and have been living in Phoenix.
 Cameron claims the ten city pre- cincts by 6S out of S3 delegates, elect ed to the county convention. Hildreth ne places the figures at 49 delegates for his rival and 34 for himself.
 It was at first thought that Hil- dreth would contest the election in Osborn district, where he claims the polls were opened illegally early. The call designated 10 o'clock as the hour, ard q Hildreth worker states he found the polls open and 39 votes cast before ten o'clock In the absence of Paul R. Ingles, in charge of that pre- cinct, Harry l.. Eads took possession of the polling place, he claims by authority of the county centeral com mittce. Chairman Jack White and Secretary George Hers hman do not, .eccllect having placed him in charge. Eads admitted the polls had been opened at 9:53. seven minutes early, Later, H;ldreth workers let the matter drop.
 There were SIS votes cast in the city, and reports from Mesa, Chandler and Glendale indicate a similar inter est in the primaries. Mesa reports an edge for Cameron.

 Wires Are Down
 i FL PASO. Tex, April 17.-General 1 GaYira, CarranZa commander at Jua-
 reg, announced tonight that the Mex ican telegraph wires between JuareZ
 and Chihuahua had been blown down
 near Pearson, about noon and that for
 that reason he was unable to learn
 any further details of the reported
 discovery of the body of Villa At the
 same time 8 telegram, filed at Chi
 huahua City, presumably before the Interruption to the wire service, was
 received by the Associated Press from Consul Letcher saying that nothing was known in the state capital re- garding the finding of the bandits remains.
 These two circumstances combined J to account for tn growing sceptisisn as to the truth of the story that ~ death has ended the career of tht fugitive brigand. The old story tha the man who is really dead is Pablo Lopez. the notorious butcher of Sants !, Ysabel and that Villa has delberatel, ' used his death as the basis of false

 brought to Cusihuiriachic it migh take the better part of day t ? transport it from there to Chihuahua a The road bed between these tw n points is in a deplorable condition n like that of all other railroads i

MARQUIS FLED FROM PARIS

Paris-A man known all over Paris before the war especially in the the atrical and financial worlds, as the Marquis de Frenoys, is not a Bel gian nObleman at all, according to the Renaissance, but is a German of no title and doubtful history. He is said to be living in Philadelphia at the present time, the Temps states.
 His name is simply Franz Eskens, according to the Renaissance.
 He was a subscriber and stock holder in the opera and was a mem Der of the Automobile and Travellers clubs. He asserted that he was a Belgian, but in reality, the paper says, he was born in Prussia, where he married and became the father of little girl whom he abandoned when forced to flee from the coun- try through fear of police prosecu tion.
 He went to America, where he be- came a valet and later a butler in a wealthy family. He married a widow the paper states, who was much old CT than he. He then became mar quis" and came to Paris, where he was persona grata at the German embassy.
 He subscribed 100000 francs GAO. 000) toward the expenses of produc. ing "Parsifal,' and lived at 120 Av- enue des Champs Elysees. He dis appeared after the outbreak of thu war.

were not intended to reach beyond the border. It was pointed out that it would add to the estimation in which Carranza military chieftans are held by their own people if they were able to show the body as proof that the American expedition was unnecessary.
 Secretary Lansing would not dis cuss the status of the negotiations with the de facto government over the recall of the troops. It was indicated, how ever, that official information as to the Parral incident, as well as the infor- nation in regard to Villa, still was too meagre to serve as a basis for reply to General CarranZa's message about it. MT. Lansing said replies to both the note and the message were yet to be drafted
 It was thought possible, however, that negotiations had been sent to Special Agent Rodgers at Mexico City, com municating through him to the de facto government, the willingness of the l United States to enter into the nego- tiations for the recall of the troops proposed by General Carranza. The | StCltIdIy WOuiu ltllIcl uclly HUI dl firm that suggestion.
 A recapitulation of official reports ot what the American expedition has ac- complished and at what cost, other than financial, shows the following Villa bandits killed, 70; wounded, un- known; prisoners, 6. American sol diers killed, 3 wounded, 13; missing l. In addition, 40 civilians or Carranzi soldiers are reported to have beer killed in the fighting at Parral, and al unknown number were wounded.

Reports received here tc- day by the American representative of large mining interests in Mexico stated that typhus fever was raging in northern Mexico and was assum- ing the proportions of a great api- demic.
 These reports said that the Mexi- can peons ill-nourished and living under the most terribly unsanitary conditions. were almost helpless to resist the ravages of the disease. There are few doctors in the country and almost all of the American phy sicians who formerly lived there have

if you stick to me-"
In one moment Robert Laidlaw made
his decision. He wrote a note to I'm
Gle James thanking him for his kind
ness, but declining to make his home
with him. He indited a second to I'm
Gle Henry, also thanking him and an
nOuncing his intention of accepting
his kind offer.
All that Robert fancied this latter
relative to be he found him-a jolly,
careless old man living in an antiquat-
ed mansion, reputed wealthy, but per-
sonally insisting that his means were
as dime to double eagle compared
with the passive riches of Brother
James. From the start Robert felt
that his life had fallen in pleasant
places. He started out on his own
initiative to find work the third day
after his arrival.
I've found employment, Uncle Hen
ry, he announced that evening.
"Have, hey?" remarked his relative
with a quizzical CLEAN in his kindly
old eyes-"what line, now?'
Down at the steel plant"
You don't mean common labor

About that. See here. uncle, my
bent at college was along mechanical
engineering lines and I've made up my
mind to learn all there is about metals
and construction from the ground up
It was not all work and no play with
Robert. Uncle Henry never talked of
his riches, but Robert learned that he
was regarded as a substantial man in
a capital way. Besides his possible
wealth, however, his long honorable
standing m the community had made
him respected, and the old man was
in fact listed with the aristocracy of
the town.
He introduced Robert among good
people, There was calculating ex-
preston in the wise eyes Of Mr.. Laid
