dispatch from General Herrera
commanding the government troops at
Chihuahua denied reports that Villa had
been rounded up with several followers
and taken prisoner.
Persistent rumors were in circulation
that the bandit leader had been taken,
but government authorities here de-
clSred the reports were evidently pre-
mature.
There is every confidence among Car.
rAnzistas that Villa will eventually be
taken. He will be Immediately shot.

JuArez to be executed possibly before

denial by General Herrera resulted in
great disappointment.

INSURANCE FIRMS
WANT INDEMNITY
File Claims With State Depart
ment for Losses on the
Lusitanla.

The United States Government faces
an entirely new legal question in settling
indemnity claims against Germany for
loss OF life.
In the Lusitania disaster. officials OF
the State Department said today. TINS
question Is whether payment by the
Government Of sums received as inde-
nifty from Germany shall be paid to the
families of Lusitania victims. or TO IN
surance companies which have paid life
policies to the heirs OF the Llsitania
dead.
Claims have been received by the State
Department from a number or insurance
companies. In which the Government Is
asked to reimburse them out OF moneys
received from Germany for sums they
have paid on policies held By Lusitania
victims. ,
These claims are based on the legal
distinction that when the Government
pressed Its claims for indemnity against
Germany these claims ceased to be pri-
vate claims.
Is Against State.
When the United States denounced
the sinking of the Lusitania as an ille-
gal act, the insurance companies ar
gued in presenting their position to the
State Department, Germanys offense
became one against the state. and not
against the citizen, and, therefore, in
demnity payment should be to the state
and not to the individual.
The companies insist the case Is not
parallel to Insurance losses In railway
| accidents, as these are purely private
claims.
Pursuing this argument the insurance
companies claim 1t IL the duty OF the
Government to reimburse those who
suffered by this illegal act, and the in
surance companies point to their finan-
cial loss as demanding consideration.
Claims With Department.
This question was brought to light by
announcement from Worcester. Mass.
that the Mutual Life Assurance Com.
pany, of Worcester. had filed claims
against the State Department aRgregat-
ing $4,000, which had been paid out on
policies held by Herbert s. Stone. OF
New York, and Carlton T. BrOderick
of Newton. Mass.
state Department officials today
would not single out any particular
company. but they said claims had

These claims are for varying amounts.
some running well into the thousands.
The State Department has not pre-
pared any OF these claims for pre-
sentatlon to Germany. awaiting the
completion Of negotiations with the
Of indemnity to be paid.

MADSEN'S RECORD. - Christian
Madsen, Socialist member Of the leg

in the 23d district. He is running on
his record. On the two issues organ

He was there at every roll call, stick

the shorter worday and the abroga-

is on the basis of this record that
Madsen earns the recommendation
of people like Agnes Nestor, presi-

league and John Fitzpatrick, presi-

After a mans honesty is proven in

CHIVALRY AND SHAME.-Sta-
tistics Of illegitimacy in this country
are to be compiled under the direc-
ton of Miss Julia G. Lathrop, chief
of the children's bureau Of the United
States department of labor.
Certain cities have already begun
an investigation Of local conditions,
notably Cleveland, through its Con-
ference on LEGITIMACY.
In a recent report of this confer
ence, the committee laid stress on
the number of domestics who. be-
come unwed mothers, reporting 10
cases out of the It's investigated
The committee accounted for the
fact, according to a newspaper ftem,.
thus:
The out-of-town girl finds house
work the easiest way to get estab-
linshed in the city.
Girls permanently engaged in other
work seek temporary and more shell
tered occupation of the housemaid.
Girls of low mental grade are most
frequently found at housework.
y And the conference plans to enlist
the services of club women and
housewives to relieve the monoto-
nous routine of homework.
o HO and o HUM! Are man and
his motives of no value in the unWed
mother problem?
How about that large opportunity
which the home offers for the down.
fall Of girls?
1t is to be hoped that the national
investigation will deal with primary
as well as secondary causes, even if
it does betray the tarnish on chiV-

INSTALLS UPTODATE
 OPTICAL APPARATUS

One of the most modern optometry rooms, said to be superior in equip ment to any other except one in Little Rock and the equal of any, has just been installed by c. H. and John Robinett in the jewelry estab- lishment of c. H. Robinette on North Front street. Among the apparatus installed are Kirstein optical chair, a ski-optometer, Eureka electrical ly-equipped test cabinet and a geno- thalmic set of ophthalmoscopes and retinoscopes. The ski-optometer is very late invention, doing away with the old-fashioned trial cases of lenses and automatically adjusting through wide range of tests. Both of the Messrs. Robinette are licensed optometrists and they expect with their new equipment to develop and enlarge this important branch of their business.
