CARRANZA TO CHASE VILLA
If AMERICAN TROOPS QUIT
Mexican Commander Declares De
Factor Forces Are Capable to
Handle Situation

Ell Paso, Texas, April 11.-General
Gabriel Gavira, Carranza commander
at Juarez, announced yesterday that
the forces of the de facto government
were in a position to take immediate
control of the Villa situation If the
American troops withdrew. General
Gaviras statement was made in con-
nection with the announcement Of
Major General Scott, chief of staff of
the American army, that the purpose
of the expeditionary force would be
considered accomplished when the
Villista bands were dispersed or "as
soon as the troops of the de facto
government are able to relieve them
of the work"
Expect End of Campaign
I'VE have more men than enough
now" said General Gavira. 'If we
were able to overcome Villa when he
had 10000 men, 100 cannons and
plenty of supplies we ough to be able
to dispose of hime now, when his num-
bers have dwindled down to few hun
bred. But it is big territory to OPP
crate in, and a single man has more
chance to escape and hide than large
force would have. However, on &C
count of Villas wounded condition, we
thing he will be taken soon. If not
it is hardly likely that without proper
surgical care he will survive for long.
The arrival of General Bertani in
Juarez gave renewed force to the re
ports that General Gavira has been or
dered to the field. Nothing was
learned of the whereabouts of Genera
Petronillo Hernandez, who was said
to have bee manned as successor to
General Gavira and who was expected
to reach Juarez today.
General Gavira said that the trials
Of the men implicated in the plot tC
seize Juarez in the interest of Fell,
Diaz had been practically completed
and that the death sentence probably
would be passed on three or four.

THE SPOKANE MARKET.

There is a widespread belief that
at the end of the war in Europe, there
will be a tremendous demand for
American goods, a demand which will
continue for a long time, on account
of the inability of the warning nations
to get organizations under way to re-
construct their ruined industries, at
short notice.

Salazar to Start Revolt.
Ell Paso, Texas, April 10.-General
Inez Salazar, one of the best known of
the former Huerta generals, who has
been living here, is reported to have
crossed the border with the announced
intention of taking up arms against
the United States. Local officials in
Ell Paso have made representations to
the military authorities and two infan-
try battalions were sent from Fort
Bliss to act as reserves to the patrols
who are on guard every night in the
principal streets here. The police Of
ficials said they feared trouble with
the Mexicans in Juarez.
Wild Reports Circulated.
The only real basis for any appre
hension here that is discoverable Is
the fact that a number of Villistas and
other representatives of the anti
American faction in Mexico are spread
ing the widest reports among the pc
ons and soldiers in Juarez in the hope
of causing an outbreak. Juarez il

The Carranza officials are doini

That the alarmists are not receiving
much credence among the American
refugees here is evidenced by the fac
that a number of the latter have a.
ready returned and others are prepal
ing to do so.

Poultry-The only price changes
noted in this department is an advance

fair. although there is enough coming
to hand to supply the market
Lard and Cured Meats-The firm

weeks has developed into an advance
all along the line, with hams quoting

stock is held by people OF limited means." "
On the assumption that the average
holdings of the stockholders owning from
one to ten shares each were IL shares,
and that the average holdings of those
holding from eleven to fifty shares were
30 1-2 shares. these 1890 stockholders
own approximately 81, 800 shares. Now, II
this represents the bulk of the New York,
New Haven. and Hartford stock, then
the statement that the bulk of this stock
is held by people Of limited means is
correct; but IL the total stock Of the
road is, say. one million shares, then
it is obvious that the bulk is held by the
larger stockholders.
This editorial would have meant some
thing II the writer had taken the trouble
to give the total capitalization OF the
road. His neglect to do so Is a ground
for suspicion. LIE VERNE BEALEs.

The Retail Merchants Association is
carrying on an active campaign to over
come the bad check evil in the District.
in the absence of a law which failed of
passage at the last session of Congress.
Last week a number of bad checks were
placed in the hands of the association.
They are being handled by Secretary
Charles ]. Columbus, in cooperation with
District Attorney John E. Laskey.
The District Attorneys office Is tax
ing a praiseworthy interest in this matter.
and I am sure that the next few days
will witness a very substantial undertake
ing that will mitigate the evils attendant
upon bad checks to a very great degree"
said Secretary Columbus.
Since the association started this cam
palgn we have been more than surprised
at the developments. We have two cases
in hand now that will surely go to prose-
cution. 1t SENS to have been an unfor-
tunate practice with some of the bad
check makers to involve others in their
scheme of operation
Our Investigations also have developed
remarkable examples OF check kiting. All
these cases are being closely investigated,
and I feel sure that wholesome results
will follow.
Bad checks are not only a menace tC
business, but to the public generally. We
reel that check should be just as sub
stantial as currency itself, and we are
going to see to it that all persistent bad
check distributors shall meet the full
force of the law.
The conferences that have been held in
the matter OF bad checks have developed
what we believe to be a wonderfully
effective plan to overcome this evil, the
details OF which will be announced later
In the meantime. and for as long a
time as the practice exists we urge the
business men and citizens to advise us
OF all instances Of bad checks and check
kiting."

VALUE OF zEPPELINS.
German Gives Teuton Viewpoint on
Air Raids.


Air Raids.
Editor of The Washington Herald
When reading the American newspapers,
paid by England for printing only lies,
one receives the impression that all the
Zeppelins ever achieved is the killing OF
women and babies. The material damage
is invariably alleged to be insignificant
and the occasional wrecking of an aircraft
goes to prove TO the hilt the illusory value
of these aerial craft OF the ''barbarians"
BY dint of repetition this view has been
impressed successfully upon the Ameri-
can mind. II one asks a newspaper man
whether he really believes that the Ger
mans are so inhuman as to make harm
less women and children the aim of their
raids or that they are so reckless of
money as to waste millions upon millions
to achieve practically nothing, they will
disclaim such belief. but nevertheless
they continue to print the absurdities and
lies perpetrated by the British military
authorities.
What are the real facts? Germany s
aerial feet is of inestimable military
value.
Zeppelins have been used with excellent
results. The shipbuilding yards in Ports
mouth. Devanport and Keyham have
been successfully attacked, two Of the
newest oattleSnlps OF Ihe sovereign CLASS
the Royal Oak and the Sovereign, were
entirely wrecked by Zeppelin bombs. Each
of these ships was of 26, 900 tons, repre-
senting each a value of $4,000 The
strongest squadron has been reduced to
a torso.
knowledge OF this case chanced to
reach the outside world. or how many
similar successes Of the German air raids
are we kept in ignorance About in
three months we will know the truth in
reference TO large damage inflicted
through the large Zeppelin raid.
