There are indications in the Villa
territory Of Mexico that the work Of
the punitive expedition under General
NCrsring has been accomplished. This
worn, according TO reports received
here from Washington. did not include
the death or the capture Of Villa. The
announced purpose was dispersal Of
Villas followers and establishment Of

Throughout the territory the people
have been impressed with two facts
whloh have inspired respect for
American soldiers: They know that
when Americans shoot they kill. and
they know that a handful o. Americans
cannot be successfully attacked by SUI

PREFER SODA TO LIQUOR

Number of Saloons Restricted.

Paterson, n. j., April 24.-Resideents
Of Haskell. y. j.. the community which
has sprung up around the great NUM-
ton plant Of the du Pont Powder Com
pany. have petitioned Judge Klenert
not to allow any more saloons. There
arc now four saloons in the town, with
about 1000 powder workers as patrons.
The management of the munitions plant
is strongly against liquor, and to keep
the men away from the saloons has
built a $4,000 clubhouse, with soda
fountain in the main lobby.
If Judge Klenert acts favorably upon
the application of Leonard Scala, a
saloonkeeper of this city. and allows
him to transfer his license to Haskell
the powder corporation will withdraw
its fire protection from the village and
recall its private police protection. The
case will be argued tomorrow.

The Mayors Bureau of Weights and

complaints from Automobiles that

Over-Puffing Fraudulent - De-
cision Expected to Lead to
Federal Prosecutions.

Washington, April 2s.-Tn defining
today more clearly than ever before
what constitutes dishonest advertising
through the mails, the Supreme Court
held in effect that advertisers. even
though they gave purchasers value re-
ceived for their money. are guilty OF
fraud II by exaggerated advertising
propaganda they have led clients to ex-
poet more. officials declare the de-
cision will pave the way to scores OF
prosecutions and make possible the en-
forcement OF much more stringent
Federal supervision Of mail adyertis-
ing.
The opinion was announced by JUS
tice Mckenna, reversing the District
Court in Southern Florida which
quashed an indictment against officials
OF the New South Farm and Home
Company. The indictment charged I'M
lawful use OF the mails in selling ten
acre farms. The Florida court held
that IL purchaser received his
moneys worth exaggerated propaganda
the position that il was an offence
if the article sold did not serve the
purpose represented, no matter what
the value might be.
In discussing what constituted
criminal offence under the statute go,-
erning the use OF the mails, Justice
McKenna said:
Mere putting might not be within
its meaning (of this, however, no opin-
ion need be expressed), that -. the
mere evaporation Of the qualities
which the article has, but when pro-
posed seller goes beyond that, assigns
to the article qualities which il does
not possess. does not simply magnify
in opinion the advantages which IL has,
but invents advantages and falsely as
serts their existence, he transcend'
tne limits of putting and engages N
false representations and pretences.
when the pretences or representa-
tons or promises which execute the de-
ception and fraud are false they be-
come the scheme or ertitice which the
statute denounces. Especially is this
true in the purchase of small tracts
for homes"

that the purchasers of the lots wouIu

ANYTHING improper in the scheme, the
paper itself would naturally suffer the
most from its failure:
THE lots were sold honestly and
fairly. Many thousand dollars were
expended in building docks, bath

for the community interest of the lot

was not made by any one who had

from Pinkerton-Tw0 Have
Hour Conference.

Affairs Of Seymour & Seymour, at
torneys at 100 Broadway. were not only
spied upon by the detectaphone placed
in their Offices by the Burns Agency,
but By the police as well, using the
same system of listening in as was
exposed recently in the charities in
vestigation. This fact was developed
yesterday by District Attorney Swami
and was admitted by Deputy Police
Commissioner Lord.
81 cannot tell you why we listened
in" said Commissioner Lord yester-
day. 81 can only say that it Is a de-
partment secret and that we were not
working in cooperation with the Burns
Agency
According TO the District Attorney,
the information that the police had
tapped the wires Of the firm came to
him from Allan Pinkerton, the head OF
the Pinkerton Agency. which is han
ding the affairs of the Allies in this
country. Mr.. Pinkerton was closeted
with Mr. Sw yesterday for an hour.
He said last night that he had con-
ferred on an entirely different matter
and that the question Of overlapping
had not been brought up
Commissioner Lord would not dvulge

the wires of the firm tapped, out it IS
thought that the police operators have
been listening in" for at least a month.
When asked if his investigation had
any connection with a bomb plot case
he declined to answer the question.
The information that their wires had
been tapped came as surprise to the
firm. Frederick Seymour said: 81 am
sure I have no idea why the police
should be botnering with us. There is
nothing in this office that should inter
est or attract the attention of the
police
In the investigation Of the placing Of
the detectaphone in the Offices, District
Attorney Swami yesterday examined
two employees of the Burns Agency
Miss Murphy, who was stationed at the
receiving end of the instrument, and
James Lynch, a stenographer.
Mr.. Swami declared that he had the
detectaphone installed in his Office by
Governor Whitman, when he was Dis
trict Attorney, removed. 1t was in
stalled when Hans Schmidt, the muir
derer of Anna Aumuller, and Bertha
Geek, a nurse and witness in the case,
were confronted with each other.
