FOIL MURDER PLAN
OF GENERAL VILLA

FL Paso, Mar. 11,-General Fran
cisco Villas plan to massacre Amer
ican Mormons fleeing from Mexico
to the United States has been foiled.
Carranza Consul Garcia informed the
United Press today.
Carranzistas, Garcia declared,
have halted all trains on the Mexican
& Northwestern railway by which the
Mormons were travelling. pending the
result Of Villas new movements. The
exact whereabouts Of the Mormon
party is unknown. but Garcia is con-
fident they will now escape the trap.
The Carranzistas had positive in
formation that villa planned to in
tercept the Mormons at Guzman and
massacre all--men, women and chill
dren. He left L'Ascension at day
break, It was reported, heading for
Guzman, with 800 followers.
No steps toward executing Presi-
dent Wilson'S orders to smash Villa
are apparent yet. The censorship is
evidently in effect. Brigadier-
General Pershing stated at $3.50 a, m.
today that he knew nothing Of any
contemplated movements. Pershing
said the war departments instruc-
tions were going direct to General
Funston.
II was reliably learned several gar
risons have been ordered from Wy
oming to the border.

TROUBLE AHEAD
FOR S. A D. puTER

Washington, ar, l1,--While Irwin
Rlttenhouse. head Of the informa-
tion bureau OF s. A. ID. Puter, who
has located many settlers on Oregon
California public lands, was testify
ing before the house public lands
committee in the Oregon-C California
land case today, Chairman Ferris told
his fellow members;
II believe II Is essential for the de-
partment OF justice to apprehend
Puter and the abstract company for
making an abstract of this sort"
He referred to the abstract under
which settlers located by Puter hold
their places. The documents were
prepared by the Title Guarantee a
Trust Company OF Marshheld, Ore.
The irst pages purport to be a full
abstract OF portion OF the Oregon
California lands, but the documents
contain only certificate showing
that the land had been patented to
the railroads, and that Puter was the
first applicant for holdings.
Ferris declared tho purpose OF such
an abstract could only be to defraud,
but puter denied this Rlttenhouse
was scored for allegedly trying to
"backnre" congressman. Ferris said
there was o grave moral doubt about
such activities, n ''t@H

WARSH|P
FIRED SHELL OVER
AMERICAN LINER

San Francisco. Mar. IL With the
arrival In port today OF the American
liner China, government officials
opened an investigation OF the seizure
from the ship. while flying the Amer
lean flag. OF 3S Germans. Captain
Frank Frazier, master OF the passen-
ger liner. was notified BY wireless Of
Honolulu to make full report to
Collector Of Customs J. o. Davis.
Among the charges made against
the British auxiliary cruiser Lauren
tic, which stopped the China on
Shanghai, are the following:
That the China was fred on.
though carrying the American flag.
and one shell passed over her bow.
That the China was boarded by
British troops, heavily armed, de-
spite the fact that Captain Frazier
warned the soldiers to come aboard
unarmed.
That Germans who had no con-
nection with army or war affairs
were taken away from wives and
children.
The British expedition was headed
by Lieutenant Steele, who declared
that every effort was made to stop
the China from sailing.
Considerable secrecy surrounds the
next move to be taken by Washing
ton. Captain Frazier admitted he had
received word to make no statements
and hold photographs and statements
OF certain passengers as evidence.
Collector Davis said Washington
had wired him Instructions and thai
the ship officers would be called upon
to make a full report.
Tragedy and comedy both figured
in the seizure of the Germans.
Fathers were torn from wives and
children. women were left without
money or means of support, and busi-
ness men of German name face
charges of being spies.
Only one German escaped. He
was William Stronger, paralytic,
and could not be taken ashore be-
cause Of his crippled condition.

lished by the war department. Major
General Frederick Funston today be-
gan mobllizing American troops on
the Mexican border to execute the
task OF capturing General Francisco

Secretary OF War Baker told the
United Press today he did not know
whether any troops had yet entered
Mexico,
1T IL up to them" he said They
have their orders. They will go rs
soon as they yet ready"
II is believed Funston has started
forming the different divisions which
viii dash across the boundary at sew
eral different places and swoop down
upon villa and his bandits In their
own country.
Funston requested that prelimIn-
AIRY movements be kept secret.
Tho war department is paying no
heed to scores OF kilograms approy-
Ing the hunt for villa. II Is busy
mapping out a campaign which win
allow the largest possible number OF
troops to return from Mexico alive
and unhurt.
The war department, however,
faced a certainty that the expedition
VIII cost many lives.
In order to minimize the American
losses, instructions to Funston dir
ected him to strike hard and quickly.
Facing campaign OF guerilla war
fare In unfamiliar territory against
desperate and treacherous foe,
there Is no doubt Funston's men
will probably suffer heavy casuali-
ties by an Overwhelmingly and sud
den development OF all bandits, the
army hopes TO prevent fighting over
an extensive area and also TO short
en- the little war"
II villa Is not crushed quickly and
decisively. the administration be-
lieves military operations on q much
larger scale will probably be neces-
sary,
President wants to avoid cam
paign entalllng the use OF militia
or volunteers, Any delay In the re-
gulars crossing the border would be
caused BY the war departments de-
sire to have every arm In readiness
for fast work before the blow is
struck.
Americans must march through q
wilderness OF mesquite-tangled desert,
where water 10 scarce Many OBJ
stacles will be encountered. The
establishment OF bases Of supply at
various points along the border 10 a
prim factor In the success OF the
move.
On the question whether VILLA
would make a stand In force or split
his command into many different
guerilla bands for a harrylng cem-
paign among the foothills and ar
royos, depends the immediate sue
~ess OF the expldtion.
Villas actual strength Is also
doubtful factor, Various REPORTS say
