SCHOOL ARRANGED
 AT MOUNTAIN CAMP
Miss Thora Gerald Will Look After Studies of Five Children at
 the SanatOrium

A new departure has been made avail able in connection with the Anti-Tuber- .cuIosis associations sanatorium on Red mountain. There are now six children been sadly interfered with through sick ness.
 At the request of the secretary, Dr. J. H. Phillips city superintendent of education, recently paid a visit to the sanatorium and it has .been decided that Miss Thora Gerald, one of the patients, shall have charge of the school, which will have at least five grades with one pupil in each grade and make periodical reports to Dr. Phillips.
 At a second visit paid yesterday pr. Phillips furnished a number of school books and other necessary equipment, without cost to the association so that work may begin to relieve the tedium and to improve the discipline of the children resident in the sanatorium.
 Miss Gerald is a high school student of singularly winning personality.
 Plans for manual training are being shaped. It should be stated that, of course, whatever work is done will be carried on with a view to physical well fare rather than the purely educational service, but good results on both sides may well be anticipated.

NO CONFIRMATION OF REPORT THAT DODD

did not diminish the belief at General Funston's headquarters that General Per- sbing was driving the scattered and de- flea ted bands of Villas force from the hills and trails in that part of Chihuahua, and that possibly Villa himself had been captured. Brief messages told of the continuation of the chase by Colonel Dodd's cavalry that so effectually whipped 800 Mexicans at Guerrero Wednesday, and supporting forces that General Pershing had sent forward, but the results of oper- ations of Thursday, Nriday and today were not known at headquarters here.
 A written report from General Pershing sent two days before the fight at Guerrero was received. This dealt only with the details of the troops disposition since crossing the border. and the difficulties he had encountered in getting his sup plies and in maintaining commuuica tions. He reported that the engineering forces were working on the road north of Casas Grandes and on that part ex- tending southward towards Namiquipa. The roads south of Casas Grandes were reported in better condition than those to the north. He also called attention to the fact that the aeroplanes are equipped with engines of too low power.

AGAINST
 JACKSON HIGHWAY
 PUBLISHED ROUTE
Tuscumbia and Hamilton Are Only Alabama Cities Along the Entire
 Route

The Chicago Tribune, in it's issue of Sunday, March 26, carried a map of the Jackson highway, which extends from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico, and in the column adjoining it an article printed under Peter l.. Atherton's name.
 MT Atherton is president of the Jack son Highway association, which was formed in the auditorium of the Chamber of Commerce in Birmingham, July 30, 1915. The map showing the route the great national highway is supposed to take across the states between the lakes and the Gulf of Mexico touches but two towns. in Alabama those being Tuscum- bia and Hamilton.
 Whether or not the. map was published with the consent of MT. Atherton, it is causing considerable unrest among the national highway promoters in Alabama. The Birmingham Chamber of Commerce has written to MT. Atherton for an ex- planation, and is preparing for action in the event the route suggested is verified by MT. Atherton.
 q am surprised" said H. NJ Beck, chairman of the good roads committee
 
 active in organizing vne Jackson High way association, ito see the map as an illustration of the article contributed by MT. Atherton of Louisville, Ky. Not a town in Alabama is named on the map except Tuscumbia and Hamilton The Jackson highway is national highway which was originated in this city. The interest and sentiment that have been sent broadcast over the country were sent from Birmingham. The route has been worked up and talked through the press and magazines until it was recog niZed as the Jackson highway from the lakes to the gulf, and from coast to coast.
 Birmingham has never wavered in it's support of the route as first suggested in May, 1911, at national good roads convention held in this city. It advocated the route from Chicago through Indian apolis, Louisville, Nashville, Franklin. Columbia, Pulaski, Athens, Decatur, Gull II an, Birmingham, C1anton, Montgomery, through Selma to Mobile, skirting the gulf to New Orleans, as monument to Andrew Jackson. The highway was to be a national highway, a lakes-to-gulf high way and not road to memorialize the route or trail Andrew Jackson went over.
 T think the commercial bodies of Huntsville, Decatur, Athens, Gadsden, Cullman Birmingham, Montgomery and Mobile should take action on this unfair publication. MT. Atherton was invited to Birmingham to accept the presidency of the Jackson Highway association and Bir- mingham has been loyal to him. TO say the least the map is very misleading as to the route of the Jackson highway as, originally planned.
 / Ut is possible the map did not receive President Athertons scrutiny and ap- proval, and did not come from his office. I hope not. We have written him for an explanation.

FOREIGNERS ARE MURDERED

Fl Paso, Tex, April 1.--The story of the murder of three Americans, a Ger man and Englishman at Minaca was brought here today by Americans ar irving from Chihuahua City and was accepted as authentic by federal of ficials.
 The bandits victims were Benjamin Shell, Dr. A. T. Stell. Lee Lindesly, Americans; Herman Blankenburg, German; Donald McGregor, also known as Bruce, a British subject. Two other Americans. Henry Acklin and Frank Woods, were in Mnaca at the time, but their fate has not been determined. The news was brought to Chihuahua City by J. H. Locke, the only American known to have escaped the massacre.
 According to the story, Villa captured Minaca, Guerrero and San Isidro last Monday. Everywehre' he went he an nounced his intention of putting to death every "gringo" that fell into his hands and he carried out his intention. A S far as the Mexicans were concerned the bandit promised safety to all those who did not take up arms against him. No quarter was shown to the Carranza troops who attemtped to resist him, it was said.
 The one gleam of light in the dark story is the probability that Villas ac tivity is what enabled Colonel Dodd to deliver his crushing blow at San Geron- imo ranch two days after the crime. of Minaca, a. blow that has raised high hopes that the brigands' days are num- bered.
 According to the refugees, Gen Luis Herrera left Chihuahua City on Tues day with a large number of troops His destination was not made public.
 There were numerous reports in Fl Paso today that Villa was already cap tured. Some of these were circumstan- tia1 and not one of them could be veri- fled.
 WOUNDED LAST MONDAY
 It was in the raid on Guerrero last Monday that Villa was wounded, be- ing shot in the knee, according to message received today by General Ga vira at Juarez from General Gutierrez, telegraphing from Chihuahua City. Ga vira had asked for further informa- tion about Colonel Dodd's battle Gut ierrez explained that the wire were working badly on the southern loop and he had only the bare details of what had been accomplished by the Americans, but the telegram received said that Villa broke into Guerrero at 3 o'clock Monday morning. The garr1- son engaged the assailants in heavy street fighting A number were killed on both sides. Then the Villa forces footed the stores. but made off as soon as the Americans approached. Villa was wounded in the knee
 Telegrams received from Chihuahua City in Juarez today said that freight and passenger train on the Mexico Northwestern railroad had been wrecked some weeks ago between Mi naca and Chihuahua City. Twenty seven Mexicans, including women and children, were killed. One American was on board, but escaped uninjured.
 The same advices said that the pay master of the Fl Potosi Mining com pany had been rob-aea by bandits three miles from Chihuahua City three days ag3. There were % ill the band and they let the paymaster go after taking 70u pesos from him.

Socialists Are Remanded

Glasgow, Scotland. April -Four so- cialists under arrest in connection with the strike of Clyde intuition workers were remanded today for trial by the high court of Edinburgh on charges under the de- fense of the realm act. One of the so- cialists, John McClean. is alleged to have urged the intuition workers to lay down their tools, declaring that if the British soldiers also laid down their arms he was certain the. Germans would follow their example, as they were all tired of the war.'

from Chihuahua that Villa had been captured at Minaca, only few miles south of Guerrero, was unconfirmed by official reports, but there was no dis position to belittle it. General Funs- ton was convinced of the truth of the report that Villa was badly wounded prior to the fight at Guerrero and it was believed that his escape was now highly imDrobable.

tailed report of the engagement Nor was any word received from Colonel Dodd, although service at the army wireless station here, interrupted by climatic con- dtions, was resumed today.
 Military headquarters here made this statement:
 NO DETAILS YET
 "No details of the engagement have been received. The only messages re- ceived from the south were of purely routine nature and in none of them was the engagement mentioned
 Other information indicated. however, that there is still Eluch doubt at the
 American field headquarters as to wheth- CT the bandit chieftain was with his
 forces during the engagement. One re-
 port given much credence, was that Villa
 sustained the wounds which broke his leg and shattered his hip bone Tn the attack made or the Carranza garrison at the town of Guerrero March 27 and that the leader was carried away by few
 chosen followers in jolting wagon to secret hiding place in the wilderness around Guerrero.
 Although the pursuit by the Americans is a new experience for Villa, one he
 has never met in all his years of guerilla warfare, army men here are not inclined
 to minimize the task before Colonel Dodd.
 The Guerrero district in which Villa, price on his head, was able for eight years to escape capture by Porfirlo Diaz's rurales abounding as it does in caves, canyons and almost impossible mountain trails, all screened from the eyes of air scouts by heavy growths of mountain pines, is admittedly one of the most iso- lated regions in Mexico and 'the one in which the bandit has the largest num- Der of friends.
 From the moment the news of the bat tie was announced the greatest excite ment has prevailed in Columbus, the town which Villa attacked less than three weeks ago, and in which he murdered eight civilians and seven American cav alrymen.
 FEELING RUNS HIGH Scores of civilians and soldiers gath cred around the army wireless station, expecting momentarily the news would be flashed that he had been captured and was being brought to Columbus. Some suggested that even if Villa is captured it would be unwise to bring him across the border because of the high feeling here.
 Something of this sentiment was ex- pressed at a sale of 34 Villa mounts cap tured by American troopers after the raid
 on Columbus. Men gazed at the pitiful wrecks of what once were stout COW ponies, the bones of which even three weeks of American grain had been un- able to conceal and at the Hanks which had been cut into strips by cruelty row. I eled spurs. and cursed the bandits who 1 had owned the animals. The jibes of the autcoineer, who pointed to one sorry an-
