VILLAS DEATH
BELIEVED AHOAX
Alive and May Have Escaped
Beyond Expeditions Limits.
FORCES ARE AGAIN
FIRED ON BY MEXICANS.
Renewal of Shipping Limits Operations.
Forces Being Concentrated for Pro-
lection.

If Francisco Villa is not dead he has
now an excellent opportunity to escape
in territory far beyond the most ad-
vanced of the American detachments,
because the punitive force has pene-
trated about as far south as it is going
to go with the present organization.
Official admission that it was impos-
sible to extend the main line of com
munication south of Satevo was taken
today to mean that the field of oper-
ations would be restricted to that dis
trict over which detachments of caval-
ry with provisions for one or two days
could be had. Beyond the arc Of that
fan Villa would be safe, as far as the
Americans are concerned.
The American pursuit of Villa is at a
standstill because of the unprovoked
attack upon American cavalrymen by
the insubordinate soldiers of the Car
rama garrison at Parral. At General
Pershing's headquarters today there
seemed no immediate prospect of the
resumption of the chase, while there
were numerous indications that con-
tinuation of the pursuit would meet
with armed resistance. A party OF
American officers was fired upon near
here last night, none of the Americans
being injured. This, coming on the
heels of other reports of sniping, is
responsible for the belief that the ex-
! peditionary command is confronted
with a serious problem.
General Bell, reporting from Ell Paso
to General Funston, gave it as his opin-
ion that after as thorough an investi-
CATION as he could make of Villas
death, says it has been manufactured
in Juarez. Consul Letcher who said
he had been in communication with
Cusihuirachic, also has failed to verify
the report
A speedy motor train, carrying Gen
eral John j. Pershing, evpeditionary
commander, together with his escort,
was fired upon during drive made at
night from Satevo to the wireless sta
tion at Namiquipa, according to re-
ports received here.
No official confirmation Of the report
could be obtained by military author
tiles here. Nor could it be learned
whether the report was based upon
the attack on General Pershing's sup
ply train on its way to Satevo on
April IL.
According to the reports, General
Pershing was on his way to Namiquipa
to attend to the sending of detailed
dispatches concerning the engagement
at Parral, when Mexicans in ambush
aear Providencia opened fire on the
cars. There were only about 10 snip
ers all of whom fled when the Ameri-
cans returned their fire. None of the
Mexican bullets took effect, the report
said. and General Pershing regarded
the incident as trivial.

PLEASANT VIEW MAN
FINED BY 0STROM
Refused to Send Children to School
Changed Mind About Laying Out
Sentence.

Finding that Sheriff F. M. Kendall
was not giving his prisoners three
squares, but was making them exist
on two meals per diem, George Lohr,
sentenced Saturday afternoon to pay
five dollars fine and costs, for failure
to send his children to school, deter
mined to pay up. When arraigned
Lohr entered plea of not guilty, but
defended himself on the ground that
he needed the children to work at
home and would keep them there as
long as he wanted to. When sentenced
he said that he would spend the term
in Jail, but later after inquiries about
the time of serving meals, paid $l4.5O
fine and costs and was released.
Several arrests have been made this
year on this charge but all have here
tofore admitted their guilt and prom
ised to send their children to school at
once, if let go, so that this is the first
case of the kind to go to trial.

PREP ARfDNFSS IS
SUBMITTED TO CLUB
Referendum Taken on Subject
By the Commercial Club
NATIONAL CHAMBER OF COM
MERGE SUBMITS THE QUESTION.
Proposition to Cut Dues of Profess
siOnal Men and TradesmeR Also
Considered.

In addition to the referendums on
vocational education and legislation
against cut prices for identified goods,
the commercial club at its meeting
Tuesday night will consider another
referendum since submitted on the
question of preparedness, and will
take up the question of amending the
bylaws so as to reduce the admission
fees for professional men and trades
man.
There are 10 separate recommends
tions submitted by the National Cham
ber of Commerce on the matter of pre-
paredness, the committee adopting the
extreme position of friends of military
training The first recommendation
is that national defense forces and in
dustrial forces be co-ordinated so as
to make available the military, indus
trial and financial strength of the ma
ton. The second recommends the
creation of a body in the nature of a
council of national defense. The third
recommends a staff of industrial mob
ilization to render effective the eco
nomic resources of the United States.
The fourth favors the creation of a
navy large enough to make us the
second power on the Atlantic and a
surplus on the Pacific large enough to
protect our possessions, trade routes
canal and adjacent territory. The fifth
favors the creation of general staff
for the navy. The sixth recommends g
standing army large enough for {
first line of defense. The seventh re-
commends universal military training
enforced by law. The eighth recon-
mends "that a fundamental feature OF
the national policy for the supply OF
war material should be to educate pri-
vate industry in time of peace in the
manufacture of such material, under
prearranged government regulation OF
prices, rather than to trust to the
protection of government plants alone
The ninth is an amplification of the
preceding, recommending the manu-
facture of ap accumulation of war ma
terial in time of peace. The tenth
recommends the creation of an Off
GERS reserve corps in time of peace fol
the management of forces in time OF
war. Each recommendation is voted
on separately, so that it is possible tC
adopt any one and without adopting
the rest.
The committee uses 21 pages in al
argument for its plan and gives {
summary of six pages against it.

MADs.DOG SCARE
IN CITY YESTERDAY
Railroad Man Nipped and Boy Bitten.
Dogs Probably We're Not Afflicted
With Rabies.

Two mad" dog scares divided pop
ular attention with the approaching
convention in this city yesterday, and
gathered momentum as they passed
from mouth to mouth. Tuesday even
ing William Travers, assistant travel
ing engineer of the Oregon Short Line,
went out for a walk beyond the city
limits and when about half mile from
town a dog rushed out and nipped him
on the arm On his arrival in the
city he telephoned for a physician,
who en- examination found that the
skin had not been abraded and that
his shirt was not torn where the dog
had bitten, but marks Of the teeth were
still visible where they had pinched
the flesh. Naturally, the adjective
mad" was added to the description
of the animal by those who heard OF
the incident secondhand, and the story
lost nothing in subsequent rehearsals.
Yesterday morning little boy named
Wilson, living in the outskirts Of town,
was bitten on the hand by stray
dog, the skin being slightly cut. Word
was sent to Chief Taylor of the Twin
Falls police force, who went out and
killed the animal Mr.. Taylor said the
dog fled when he saw him approach
with a gun, and that, from his expe-
rience with rabies, he judged that the
animal was not mad However, the
head was sent to Boise to be tested
This story was also duly embellished
in subsequent repetitions.

LEAVES HOTEL TO
= = CONDUCT THEATRE
f.,,B. Williams RetireS From
Management of Perrine Hotel.
REPORTED THAT n. WCRACKEN
WILL SUCCEED HIM.
VIII Be Associated With II. +. Allen
in Ownership of Idaho Motion Pic
ture Theatre.

On May 1st E. B. Williams will retire
from the management of the Perrine
hotel, which position he has held ever
since it opened in 1905, and will devote
his time to the management of the
Idaho theatre, an up-to-date moving
picture theatre, to be installed in the
new Sallaqay and Wilkinson building,
on Shoshone street east, by Mr.. Will
liams and Harry F. Allen. 1t is re-
ported that the Perrine will thereafter
be conducted by N. McCracken, who
is at present day clerk at the Roger
son hotel. Asked in regard to this
report, Mr.. McCracken declined to
make any statement.
The new theatre, of which Mr.. Will
liams will take charge, will be one
of the finest in Idaho. With ca
pacity of 600, it will be fitted with
the best modern machinery, furniture,
special fixtures and scenery. The
lighting will be of the latest pattern
and the famous Paramount motion pic
lures will be shown. With reference
to vaudeville, Mr.. Williams said that
he would try out the plan of putting
on pictures only, but if demand was
apparent for vaudeville, the people
would be given what they want. The
motion picture machines, two power
cameragraphs, are already here, and
the chairs are on the way. The light
ing is of the latest indirect patent.
Special arrangements are being made
for ventilation. The building is fire
proof, constructed of brick and steel.
The booths in which the machines will
be operated are of steel and absolutely
shut off from other parts of the thea
ter. In addition to these precautions,
there will be eight exits provided. Two
large rest rooms in front will be well
come features. The second story of
the building will be used by the Elks'
lodge. The new theatre will open
about June /.

KILLS A
FARMER ON SALMON
Farmer Dies Through Lack of
Proper NOuriShment.
EFFORTS TO REVIVE HIM PERMA-
NENTLY FAIL.
Told Nurse in Attendance That He Did
Not Want to Liye-Was Sixty-six
Years Old.

J. B. Beauregard, a settler on the
Salmon tract, died Tuesday night at
the White Cross hospital in this city
as a result of starvation and exposure
suffered on his claim near Berger
Mr. Beauregard was reported to have
been in poor health and discouraged
for some time, and his neighbors have
been visiting him and assisting him.
Although he had food on the table,
which had been brought him by his
neighbors, he had become so weak and
exhausted that he was unable to
-Ip mself to it. They had failed
to call on him for several days,
rot KnOwlng tuat his vitality had
been exhausted and when they
went to see him Tuesday found him
in helpless condition. The commits
siOners were notified and he was
brought here and placed in the hos
pital, arriving in the city about
o'clock p. m. The county physician
was called and found him almost COM
pletely exhausted from starvation and
lack of care. Everything possible was
done to revive him, and after receiving
nourishment in the way of beef ex-
tract, light soup and other stimulating
beverages, he rallied for a time; his
pulse, which could at first scarcely
be detected, was considerably
strengthened and his temperature,
which was down to SO degrees, was
somewhat raised. After a couple of
hours, he began sinking. He was much
discouraged, told the nurse in attend
ance that he did not want to live
and apparently made no effort to rally.
He died about six hours after his ar
rival in the hospital. He was about
sc years of age, and has relatives in
Canada, but none in the United States.
The commissioners will meet today to
consider the case and the matter of
his interment

STAR BASEBALL MAN
FOR TWIN FALLS TEAM
Former Manager of Oakland Coast
League Team Visits City and Fans
Want to Keep Him.


The arrival this week of a baseball
star of the first magnitude has put
heart into the lovers of the diamond,
who hope to keep the distinguished
gentleman in this city until all the
pennant of a six-club league is hanging
on the fence, and then make his resi-
dence here permanent. The visitor
who has aroused the fans to such a
pitch of enthusiasm is none other than
Tyler Christin, former manager of the
Oakland Coast league nine, who for
several years was not merely the
manager but a .star player of that
noted aggregation. Mr.. Christin has
determined to leave the soporific
breezes of the Pacific coast for the
more exhilarating atmosphere of
southern Idaho, and has taken up some
land near neighboring city. He will
have leisure on his hands this year,
and if he can get something to do on
the side to help keep the pot boiling,
in addition to baseball managing,
twirling, batting, Unfolding, etc, he
will appreciate staying with the Magic
City.
With such an acquisition, the Twin
Falls team will be able to insure the
pennant for the proposed league. The
teams now suggested for the league
are: Idaho Falls, American Falls,
Blackfoot, Pocatello, Twin Falls and
Burley. The negotiations for its for
nation are not yet completed, but with
the fan spirit properly aroused the
friends of the national game feel that
they will have little trouble in getting
up the organization, and with first
class players the gate receipts will
take care of themselves.

After % hours of consulting, inter
spersed with visits to the surrounding
country, the Republicans gathered at
the Lavering theatre at 10 o'clock this
morning, with things pretty well un-
derstood as to what should be done.
The caucuses held before the conven-
tion had agreed, after more or less
milling, the only question in regard
to delegates being from the Fourth
district, where l. r. Rockwell has
friends who favor putting him up in
stead of Senator Brady, but even this
may be arranged before the selection
of delegates actually takes place. Both
men spoken of from this county, w
P. Guthrie and c. M. Booth, have been
practically put out of the running, by
reason of the fact that the local dele
cation does not feel that it should ask
for favors after having secured the
state convention. While the public
services of Senator Borah will be
strongly indorsed in the resolutions,
the delegation will be uninstructed,
though all are Borah men. The senti-
ments of the men who are in touch
with the senator are all opposed to
instructions in his behalf.
The presence of both friends of
Colonel Roosevelt and the old regulars
is quite discernible, and it was re-
marked by many that with the keynote
speech of Thomas Hamer of st. An
thony his list of proposed bosses for
the Republican party contained the
names of Hughes, Borah, Root and
Mccall, in the order named, the name
of Roosevelt being conspicuous by its
absence There were plenty of Roose-
welt men in the convention, however,
and many faces that were prominent
in Progressive gatherings four years
ago.
The convention was called to order
by former Governor f. r. Gooding
owing to the illness of Chairman Evan
Evans, who took sick this morning
though, it is believed, not seriously
Mayor E. NJ Sweeley made the ad-
dress of welcome and, after the usua
complimentary greetings, said that the
Snake River valley had added 10000
citizens tc Idaho within the past II
years They had early discovered thai
catch phrases and advertising did no
do much permanent good, and had de
veloped the country by hard work, co
operation and sticking to it. Polite
ally, they weer like the Yankee, "the.

lens confronting the nation, and on

of mind as the negro who, when caugh
out in a thunderstorm on a dark night
