EVEN LOSES FLOWERS
New Gardiner Takes Place of Marion
Lambert's Broken Hearted Father.

Chicago, ILL.,, July 17.-When Mar
ion Lambert died, her father, broken
with grief, carried his sorrow to the
flowers which were his care and his
solace on the Kuppenheimer estate in
Lake Forest. Through the long Orpet
trial-as trial which could not benefit
Frank Lambert, no matter how it
came out-he found his only relief.
And now he is to lose the flowers,
too, and his home, and his living.
A new gardiner appeared today at
the Kuppenheimer estate. He is Her
man Siefert. A reporter talked with
him as he. approached the conserva-
tory.
I've taken Mr.. Lambert's place.
said Siefert. I'm just on my way
now to lock up the green houses. Mr..
Lambert isn't there-regularly, any
more. He's just doing a few little
chores around. you know. I'll move
into the Lambert house pretty soon.
I'm waiting now for Mr.. Lambert to

MORE BRITISH HOLDUPS
Seize Mails of Neutral Ships Bound
for Manila and New York.

Manila, July 1.-THE Spanish YES
sci -Eizaguirre, reported upon arrival
at Iloilo, that the British authorities
of Singapore had taken off 500 pack
ages of a cargo bound for Manila. The
consignee here believes the customs
authorities will await the arrival of
the Eizaguirre at Manila before taking
any action.
The British steamer Chinese Prince
from which the British authorities at
Penang removed cargo consigned to
Manila is still detained here pending
the filing of a bond as security for a
fine of $4,000 pesos, levied last week
by the collector of customs.

P. M. Ross, Chicago Tribune.
He'll Take Chihuahua City in
Less Than Two Weeks.
DID NOT LEAD COLUMBUS RAID
Ross Had Letter From Villa $50
Miles Away 2 Days Before.
Only Solution of Problem Is Out
and Out Intervention.

All Mexico was at peace beneath the
iron rule of Diaz. That was eight
years before the banishment of that
ruler from Mexico by Madero. In the
doorway of a little adobe hut, the
home of a woodcutter, in a northern
province, a girl waited for her brother,
unwarned that the tragedy of which
she was to be victim. would mold
the fate of a nation into a state of rev.
olution, starvation, murder, pillage and
intrigue. Down the road rode a
horseman in the uniform of a Diaz
captain. He stopped his horse before
her-made it rear with jerk of the
bride reins, and smirked.
She drew back, alarmed for she had
heard of this captain and his exploits
with women. Another moment and he
was off his horse. Five more minutes
and she lay inside the hut, murdered
and outraged, after a struggle and
screams.
But as the captain stepped from the
doorway, he met a man. a short,
stocky built man, who had the blade
of a scythe in his hand. The captain
drew his jewel hilted sword.
The Oath of Vengeance.
Dog" he jeered.
The man with the scythe said MOTH
ing, but squared himself away. A
duel. one Of the strangest duels the
world has ever known, began with
one man, the captain, on the defen-
sive with his light cavalry saber, and
the other beating back his opponent
with the blade of a scSthe. The wood
cutter made a thrust that pierced the
captains heart ard as the soldier fell
the former staggered into the house,
knelt over the bleeding form of his
sister. and faced the little Roman
Catholic cross on the wall.
Il swear by the Virgin Mary 1 will
make Diaz and his dogs pay"
That was the oath of Francisco
Villa. The story was told in Topeka
today by Perry NJ. Ross. an Ameri-
can, who for several years acted as
newspaper censor and financial agent
for 'Pancho" Villa, when he was the
mightiest man in Mexico, as Perry
claims he is vet. Ross heard the story
from Villas lips. -s-'7
Ross arrived here this morning. He
has been a newspaper correspondent
with Funstons troops for the Chica-
go Tribune until five days ago and
went into Mexico with Dodd's cavalry
when it made it's dash after the Co
lumbus raiders.
The Idol of Mexico.
Ross describes Villa as the idol of
all Mexico and the most powerful man
there.
villa is the only man who can rule
the country" Ross said. He is in
now and he will have Chihuahua City
in less than two weeks. When he
reaches the outskirts of the city he
will send word he is coming. The loyal
Carranzistas will take the next train
out of town. But there will be but
few loyal Carranzistas. The most of
the garrison there will stay and join
Villa.
"A few years ago when Villa was
in command of all Mexico he would
have eSta bliShed a government that
would have been responsible. When
the United States turned him down
and recognized Carranza he became an
outlaw more than ever. He was

sufficient, officials believe, to meet
any situation that may arise.
Hold Back Reserves.
There are approximately 100000
militia on the border and from $4,000
to 10000 remaining in state camps.
In addition to this there are about
$4,000 regular army troops in Mexico
and on the border.
The army on the border has swelled
sufficiently to enable thezwar depart
ment to check the movement of
troops until all remaining units are
fully prepared to move. The follow
ing order was sent by the war depart
ment to department commanders to-
day, countermanding earlier orders to
hasten the departure of troops:
Those militia organizations which
have not yet been sent to the border
will be held in their mobilization
camps until completely equipped and
ready in every respect to move
In explanation. of this order it was
stated that previous orders had been
to send militia to the border when
reasonably ready" This order was
given at time when there was urgent
necessity of speed. Militia organiza-
tions were sent down before fully re-
cruited and some were sent without
full equipment and without complete
physical examination.
Release Married Men.
Under the new order the physically
unfit will be weeded out before the
militia goes to the border. 1t is be-
heved the married men claiming ex-
emption on account of dependent
families will also be given discharges
in state camps permitting the organi-
cations to recruit up to strength with
men who will stick.
The war department has expressed
qualification at the progress of militia
recruiting. A report that the govern
ment was considering invoking the
draft as a means of recruiting the
militia to war strength was denied. -
Reports received here through Of
ficial channels today show that Jap
anese are colonizing in Mexico in
force; One official report said 35
Japanese in one party had landed in
Mexico at a west coast port. Others
have arrived in smaller parties at
ports widely scattered on. the coast.
while Americans were coming out,
the Japanese were going in,'' one Off
cial said. 1t was apparent officials
looked on this colonization movement
with some concern, especially since
the recent official report showing
japanese partly responsible for the
attack on American officers from the
gunboat Annapolis at Mazatlan gave
evidence of hostility toward Ameri-
cans among Japanese in Mexico.

villa is the Jesse James of Mexico.
HE fought Diaz for eight years be-
fore that ruler was ousted by Madero
because a captain of the Diaz forces
had murdered his sister. All. that
time Diaz had a price on his head.
He is fighting the United States now
because the United States is oppress-
ing him.
Not at Columbus.
II have positive proof Villa did not
lead the Columbus raid" said Ross.
Besides other things 1 have a letter
from Villa written two days before the
raid. When he wrote, Villa was on
the Bustillos ranch, which is owned
by the Madero brothers, and is located
$50 miles south of the border. Villa
could not possibly have made that
march in two days.
LAS things stand now the only solu-
ton of the Mexican problem is inter-
vention. Not an attempt to conquer
the country and then withdraw, but
the United States must exile Carranza
and take charge of affairs for eight
or ten years.

By Arizona Mexicans.
Getting back to the Columbus raid
1 haven't the least doubt that it was
engineered mostly by Arizona Mexi-
cans. Twenty or more hats worn by
the Mexicans who were killed bore the
trade mark of an Arizona retail mer-
chant L dc not believe Villa led it or
even authorized it.
Ihe greatest danger we have on
the border is the hypenated Mexicans
the kind that come to this country
into Mexico and start a rebellion of
their own.
THE border is alive with secret
service men and Mexican spies who
are playing a game of hide and seek
without much results. One steps up
to storekeeper and expresses his
opinions and finds his man is a secret
service man.
"A press dispatch given out in Wash
ington said the government is spend
ing 100000 in establishing a secret
service branch there. The amount is
nearer $2,0O0,0O0."
Ross left Topeka this afternoon for
Kansas City and will go from there to
Chicago. He expects to go to the bor-
der again soon.

which said that General Trevino had

advancing northward.
While this report showed activity on
the part of Trevino that was gratify-

as evidence that the Villasta revolu-

menacing proportions. General Fun

"Pershing reports seventeen Car

presumably by Carranzistas). Also
treports that Trevino has sent many
