He Asks Too Much.

l understand a representative OF
a nursery, has been canvassing in
this territory recently offering a top
worked tree bearing five different
kinds of fruit, and guaranteeing ii
to bear the next year after planting.
] do not desire to convey the idea
that this man is dishonest or is mis-
representing the article he offers,
but my experience tells me that trees
of this kind not only, do not prove
successful the first year, but seldom
il ever come up to the expectation OF
the purchaser.
Maybe two or three of the differ
ent varieties grated on the tree will
produce fruit, but the fruit seldom
is what it would be, if grated sing
ly, this tree is only for a curiosity.
l also understand that the price
asked for this novelty is $500. II
any one desires anything of this kind
will be glad to furnish it at 70
cents per tree, but / can not conscien-
tiously recommend it as a desired
tree to plant, because / know it will
prove unsatisfactory, If not a total
failure.

deception and was signed "A Half Democrat
who cannot vote for Wilson The man who
PAID for it and who HID behind false and
misleading signature, was John Wanamaker, al
ways an Old Guard Republican and Postmaster

latest Of a series Of page Republican advertise
ments for which Mr. Wanamaker is paying.
This half Democrat gave various reasons why
he could not vote for Wilson, but not the real
reasons.
From 1898 to 1910 the House of Wanamaker withheld
thousands of dollars custom Twelve years Of de-
cepdon connection with shipments from the Wanamaker
Paris office!
On March 3, 1913, the day before President Wilson took
office, John Wanamaker paid the Government 100000 in
settlement Extreme haste marked the compromise Secretary
MacVeagh and Collector Loeb exerng extraordinary efforts
to close and hide the case.
But Secretary McAdoo reopened the case On June 10,

tion here, as many of the families of
the men supposed to have been on
board the train reside here.
Reports from Ell Paso that a num-
ber of Americans were killed west of
Chihuahua will, if confirmed. result in
urgent representations by the United
States to Carranza to increase his
force to capture Villa or destroy his
forces. No official advices regarding
the affair have been received and the
officials were hopeful that the reports
received in Ell Paso by the Smelling
and Refining company might prove
erroneous.
All Americans reported killed were
residents, either of Ell Paso or Ari-
zona, with one exception, "A. C..

among the number.
Dispatches tonight stated that the
bodies were enroute to JuareZ.
Confirmation of the news of the

Confirmation of the shooting of

party, was received tonight. 1t was

his mother, reading:
Maurice is no more. Hope to Sc

A protest was circulated among

HAY D|SAPPR0vES Of
NEW MILITARY BILL
President Wilson Meets With
First Opposition on Bill to
Strengthen Army.

Washington, Jan. 11.-The frs
definite Indication of what troubled
legislative sea the administration
plan for Strengthening the army ha'
been launched upon came today
when Chairman Hay of the house
military committee told President
Wilson that he disapproved the fund
amental program.
The presidents reception of this
expression was not disclosed. Sec
retary Garrison, who framed the &C
ministration's scheme, said he had
no knowledge of what had transpired
at the White House, and would not
comment on it. He indicated, how
ever, that the attitude of Represent
ative Hay, before whose committee
hearings on the bill will be resumed
tomorrow, would not alter the wal
departments insistence on the plan
in substance, at least.
Representative HAY said that he
favored passage of a militia pay
bill under a contractural bill with
provisions for state soldiers who
QreW pay lTOm Ln0 IeQerdl govern
ment which would require them to
serve in the regular army in time oi
war. He also proposed that the pres
ent organization of the army be
brought up to war strength, which,
he said, would furnish the number
of men thought necessary by Secre.
tary Garrison, without any large ad'
dition of officers or increase of over.
head charges.
The plan, which Secretary Garri.
son told the committee, had. the en-.
tire approval of President Wilson
would provide for additional regular
army organization to bring the total
force up to 141, 900, as compared, ap-
proximately to 100000 at present.

Ell Paso, Jan. 11.--Seventeen per.
sons, all believed to have been Amer
leans, were killed by Mexican bandits
yesterday after being taken from a
Mexican Northwestern train, SO miles
north of Chihuahua City, and stripped
or their Goithing, according to q mes
sage received tonight by A. G. Myles,
British vice consul here, from British
Consul Scovell at Chihuahua City.
The train on which the Americans
were travelling from Chihuahua City
to Cusihuiriacnic, Chihuahua, carried
thousands of dollars in currency and
a. large quantity of supplies sent by
the American Smelling and Refining
company to it's mines in Cusihuiriac-
mic.
It is believed here that all ot the
II American mining men, known by
means of a check on Mexican pass
ports to have been in Chihuahua City,
were on board the looted train.
Thos. H. Holmes, the only known
survivor, however in his brief tele-
gram giving the first news OF the raid,
that he counted but 16 Americans
taken from the train.
1t is supposed the bandits belonged
to the forces of General Jose Rodri.
guez, a Villa supporter known to be
operating in Chihuahua against the
de facto government.
Almost Immediately after the first
news of the raid was received, a cen.
sorship was imposed on the wires be-
tween Juarez and Chihuhua City by
the Carranza officials. This action
was taken, it was said, until the
story could be verified from official
Mexican sources
According to brief messages receiv-
ed here, the train bearing the Ameri-
cans was stopped by the bandits at
about fifty miles west of Chihuahua
City, the mining men taken from the
train, robbed, stripped nude, and lin.
ed up along the cars for execution.
Holmes, it is said, was on the extreme
end of the line. AS the firing squad
detailed by the bandit leader took po-
sition, it is reported, Holmes broke
away and fled into the desert for his
life. With feet and body cut and
from the stones and sharp
cactus, he ran without looking back
until he no longer heard the whistle

Abbott Phillips. assistant attorney

stances of the death of DR.. Mohr. de-

pared to show that Mrs. Mohr melted
the negroes to slay her husband be-
cause "she was worried by the di.
vorce suit that was pending and also
feared that DR.. Mohr was going to
put all his money in the name Of Miss
Emily G. Burger, his secretary"
