SAYS BANDIT KILLED MANY.
U. S. Officials Receive Reports OF
Wholesale Slaughter.

El Paso, Texas. Nov. 1S.-From
Chinese refugee from Parral United
States government agents here today
received a report that all of the for
eigners remaining in Parrai, eXclu-
sive of the five known to have lett
for Culican and thought to have ar
rived there, had been killed by the
Villa bandits.
The Chinese refugee said that
those killed included the German,
American, Hebrew, French and Arab
residents of the mining camps. He
also said a brother-in-law Of Theo-
dore Hoemuler at Jiminez had re-
ceived confirmation of the killing OF
Hoemuler, a German subject, and his
family in Parral. The Chinese refu-
gee added that general belief in Jimi-
nez was that Edgar Kock, German
consular agent in Parral, had been
killed at Santa Rosalia.
From Chinese Refugee.
United States government repre-
sentatives here also have received
practically the same report from
Chinese refugee who arrived in Jua-
rez Thursday night. These reports
agree that Villa and his bandits, after
occupying the mining town. ordered
the foreigners killed, looted the
stores, arrested many of the natives
and held them for ransom and COM
mitted other depredations.
The Chinese refugee: who arrived
last night said at least twenty
Chinese had been killed in Parral,
and that fifteen Arabs, Hebrews and
Syrians had been put to death. He
did not know the number of the other
foreigners killed, although he said
another Chinese who fed from Par
raj had told him in Jiminez that ali
the foreigners had been put to DEATH
Of the foreigners believed to have
been in Parral when Villa entered,
American Mining company officials
here say there we're at least five, and
probably six, Americans. Five Amer
leans who left two days before the
town was evacuated reached Culican,
according to a message received by
athe Alvarado Mining and Milling
company here.
There remained in Parral, accord
ing to the mining men, the following
Americans: Jacob Meyers, E. w.
Palmer, William Scott (who was at
first enormously reported to be son
of Gen. Hugh L. Scott), Henry schaf-
fer, R. P. Coweu and DR.. Thomas
Flanagan.
However, the officials of the Al
yarado Mining company think it is
possible that Flanagan made the
trip to Culican with the party in
charge of Leslie Webb, who left on
November 2.

President Says Campaign Over, Turn

Williamstown, Mass, Nov. 10
Now that the campaign is over we
may all address ourselves to the vel
fare of the nation without thought of
partisan feeling" declared President
Wilson in his first public speech since
the national election, delivered before
a. delegation of Williamstown resi-
dents and Williams College students,
who greeted him late today. The
president was welcomed by the stu
dents and townspeople after the
christening Of Eleanor Arson Sayre,
the second child of his daughter, Mrs.
Francis B. Sayre, and for whom he
stood as godfather.
Soon after his arrival at the home
of his son-in-law, assistant to the
president of Williams College, the
delegation. headed by President H.
A. Garfield, of the college, marched
to the Sayre home. The president
spoke from the porch Of the house
and was cheered enthusiastically.

simply to visit my daughter and to
attend a simple ceremony here to-
day." he said. "Now that the cam
paign is over we may all address our
selves to the welfare of the nation
without thought of partisan feeling. y
The president referred to his SER
vice as chief executive of Princeton
University, saying he knew from eX-
perience there was politics even in
the running of college.
"Politics,' he continued, lis after
all a means of getting something
done, of putting forward ideas. 1t

love the fight has no red blood in his
veins"
Man With a Vision.
Mr.. Wilson told a story of man
having a vision in which he was Of
fered a horn and sword and chose
the horn. Immediately the vision
vanished and the man was cursed for
taking the horn before the sword. He
told the story to illustrate the neces-
sity for fighting.
Mr.. Garfield, son of President
Garfield, declared the presidents
words during the campaign had been
full of wisdom and light. He add
ed: eve wish you Godspeed in your

When the president arrived here
this afternoon he found a stack OF
telegrams three feet high contratu-
lating him on his reelection. They
came from cabinet members, sena-
tors, representatives, government Of
ficials and leading Democrats. He
will reply to them upon his return to

NO SUCH DEADLY EFFECT

PARIS, January 3I.-Several bombs
were dropped by the Zeppelin which
flew over the outskirts of Paris last
night but they produced no such deadly

of Saturday night. The official press

ment this morning:

by our special batteries and attacked
by our aeroplancs. Bofore returning
northward it dropped Il number OF

in the field. They did not sink deep

information from the postma ster OF one

dropped together. The inference is
drawn that the Germans, seeing them
