of the American neutrality laws in
connection with the supplying of
coal to German warship in the
Pacific. is included in the latest

vessels mentioned in the blacklist
which, it is charged. are being oper-
ated with capital of subjects at war
with Great Britain or are engaged in
unneutral service.
The list, which the fourth issued
by the admiralty. shows n substantial
increase in blacklisted tonnage over
the previous list.
While the blacklist is larger than
ever the list of exemptions for vessels
chartered for the allied trade is also
growing.

25-YEAR SENTENCE
FOR HENRY SMITH
Convicted of Manslaughter
in the First Degree
by Jury.

Henry Smith. on trial for the muir
der of B. V. Cook, was found guilty
of manslaughter by a jury in the dis
trict court yesterday afternoon and
sentenced to serve twenty-five years
in the state penitentiary. The case was
given to the jury at $3.50 o'clock in
the afternoon and an agreement had
been reached within an hour, Motion
for a new trial was made immediate
ly by the defendants attorneys.
The case had occupied the atten-
ton of the district court for the past
three days. Cook sustained five knife
wounds in q fight with Smith which
occurred February 81. 1914. when an
argument arose over lease on some
land located near Turley. The wound
ed man died March 4.
IT. was the contention Of the state
that Cook died from the effect Of a
blood clot which formed over his
heart and was directly traceable to one
of the stab wounds. To support this
theory the state introduced two phys
icians who attended Cook. The de-
fense introduced doctor with the
expectation Of refuting the contention
but on cross examination he admitted
that the wound might have caused
death.
Self-defense was made an issue in
the case following the collapse Of the
expert testimony.
The widow Of the murdered man
was In the courtroom throughout the
trial and assisted the county attorney
and his assistants in making a strong
case against Smith. When the verdict
was announced she shook hands with
each Juror and thanked them.
Smith was apparently unaffected
by the result He gave no sign that
he had even heard the reading Of the
verdict.

General Gavira, Com
mander at Juarez, Insists
That Villa Is Wounded.
MAY BE CAPTURED
ANY TIME, IT SEEMS
If He Is in Mountainous Re
gions 1t Would Require
Weeks to Get Him.

III PASO. April 5.-The story that
IL Francisco Villa was wounded and
his capture imminent was asserted
again tonight by General Gavira. the
Carranza commander at Juarez.
General Gavira made public a tele-
gram which he said he had received
from General Bertani at MADEIRA stat
ing positively that the bandit had been
shot and was in hiding somewhere be-
tween Rachineva and Satevo.
The message confirms reports from
American headquarters that villa was
definitely located heading toward Sa-
tevo. While the story that he is
wounded is still accepted here with
considerable reserve. it is pointed out
that several days have elapsed since
the fugitive was reported in the neigh
borhood of Satevo on his way to Par
raj and that nothing has been heard
since of his movements. 1t is said
that II villa was in full possession of
his health and travelling at his usual
speed Of forty or more miles day
he should have reached and passed
Parral by this time, a. fact which
could hardly escape being reported.
Excellent Hiding Place.
Bachineva is located on the eastern
side Of the continental divide about
thirty miles from Guerrero, with
which it Is connected by the famous
Bachineva pass. 1t Is through this
pass that all accounts agree Villa
made his way after the defeat of his
followers by Colonel Dodd near Guer-
rero. From Bachineva to Satevo the
trail runs about seventy miles through
broad. well-watered and fertile val
ley On each side of the valley, how
ever. there stretches for many miles
the widest mountain wastes in Mex
leo, an almost ideal country for n flu
gitive. To search this district would
take weeks, according to Americans
who are familiar with 1t.
acknowledgement
Considerable mystery is involved in
the condemnation to death of the
three ring leaders OF the alleged plot
to seize JuareZ and their sudden re-
prieve at midnight by General Gavira.
Both General Gavira and Consul Gar
cia have alternately described the plot
as that Of Villistas and of Diaz fol-
lowers. AS the Villistas and DiaZists
or Felizistas, as they are sometimes
called, represent opposite ends of the
pole in Mexican politics, villa being
the so-called champion of the poems
and Felix Diaz representing the cien-
tificos or property and clerical classes,
there is good deal of speculation in
III Paso as to the details of the plot.
The Mexican officials refuse to dis
cuss the matter. The plot was sup
posed to have been Matched in FL
Paso, but the American local authori-
ties deny any knowledge of it. Fif-
teen MeXicans suspected of being Viii
listas were arrested here today and
are being held for investigation.

State Department Believes
He May Soon Ask
Troops Withdrawal.
IS "HOT TRAIL" COLD?
Lcngthening of Commune
cation Lines Necessi-
tates More Trucks.

vXIASHl lNGTON. April SIN the
w absence of further news of
fighting in Mexico between the Amer
lean forces and Villa bandits attention
of officials here today centered upon
the diplomatic aspects of the punitive
expedition.
Information of the war and state
departments regarding use of the
Mexican railways to ship supplies to
General Pershing was conflicting.
The war department had no reports
indicating that Carranza authorities
at Juarez had received orders to ac.
cept shipments from General Fun
ston. Secretary Lansing at the state
department. however, said he under
stood such orders had been issued.
Mr.. Lansing also declared he thought
the difficulty was physical. not politi-
cal, and was due largely to the dis
organized condition of rolling stock
and roadbed of the Mexico North
western.
Carranza ObstreprOOs?
Some officials still were inclined to
connect the delay in permitting use
of the railways with a desire on the
part Of CarranZa to see the American
soldiers back on their own territory.
Alre ady 1t is understood. de facto Of
ficials on the border have made in
formal inquiries as to how much
longer the expedition will remain In
Mexico and how much further south
ward it intends to penetrate. AS
the United States now is pur-
suing hot trail' it would occasion
no great surprise here If Carranza
should suggest soon that the trail had
gotten cold and question the propriety
Of the United States proceeding much
further.
More Trucks Ordered.
Immediate necessity for lengthen-
ing General Pershing's lines of COM
munication caused Secretary Baker to
send telegraphic orders today for l0S
more motor trucks and gasoline
tanks. There are already six com
panies with 1862 cars. engaged in lines
from Columbus. Secretary Baker stat
ed that he was perfectly satisfied that
under existing conditions and present
plans the motor service was adequate
without using the railways
Now COmbng Country.
General Funston today forwarded
message from General Pershng
day at Providencia with Colonel
Dodd. Providencia Is about thirty
miles north of Guerrero and only
twenty miles beyond the southermost
end of motor communication lines at
Namiquipa. Officials believe that
General Pershing was at the front of
the advance lines and that the ex-
pedition Is engaged in combing the
country about Guerrero without pro-
ceeding in strength further to the
south.
