Republicans PLAY "Hands Off"

Observation-Disclosures of Senate Re
publicans to take any action at a con-
ference on the Mexican situation left
the Administration unhampered in
dealing with the problem. The con-
ference was called to consider action
forcing the despatch of additional
troops to the border for patrol duty.
In the face of official advices denying
alarming reports, however, and Gen:
eral Funston's apparent confidence
that he had enough men for any pres
ent emergency, the Republicans ad,
journed.

From Base and Hunt in Noun

San Antonio, Texas.-Francisco Vii
la has escaped from the Mexican
troops that had checked him near
Namquipa and three columns of~Amer-
lean cavalry are pursuing him.
Already they are almost ESQ miles
south of the border and unless Mex
lean forces bring the elusive bandit
to a stand, this distance will be great
ly increased by the close of the week.
Villas success in extricating him.
self from the dangerous position into
Which he had been driven by the
American punitive force was related
in a detailed report by General Per-
shing that reached General Funston.
General Funston forwarded the re-
port to Washington without making
public any but the essential features.
Colonel Dodd is commanding the ad-
vanced columns that are riding hard
after Villa and his men and General
Pershing has divided his forces so as
to provide supporting columns along
the thinly stretched lines of commun-
ication from his most advanced base
at Ell Vale. From Ell Vale another
line is being maintained back to CasaS
GrandeS from where communication
with the border is maintained. Gen
eral Pershing himself is somewhere
south of Casas Grandes directing the
work of holding together his forces and
directing so far as possible the opera
tons of Colonel Dodd. Cavalry is be-
ing used along the lines communi-
eating with Ell Vale where a detach-
ment of infantry is stationed.
Three aeroplanes are at Ell Vale
and will be used in scouting as soon
as the high winds that have been
sweeping that part of Mexico for al
most a week subside. These winds,
according to General Pershing, have
made effective assistance by the aero
planes impossible. OF the eight ma
chimes that went into Mexico two are
still out of commission.
Details OF the operations about
Namiqu1pa that concluded with the
escape of Villa were not revealed, but
there is little reason to believe that
he was badly whipped or even weak
ened by the fighting directed against
him by the de facto government troops

Douglas Uneasy.

Douglas, Ariz.-Reports that ap-
proximately 1000 de facto government
troops had been seen by United
States soldier observers marching into
Aqua Prieta from the southeast, cou-
pied with apparent verif1cation from
sources in the Mexican town, aroused
apprehension here.
Gen. P. Elias Gales, military gov
ernor of Sonora, stated, however, that
no troops had arrived and that in fact
ESQ of the 500 men stationed there
had been sent South.

PerpIexed by Border Dispatches.

Observation-Disclosures were perplex-
ed by dispatches from the border say
ing General Bell had notified General
Funston that the report of Herrera's
revolt was confirmed. When the war
department closed for the night at II
o'clock Secretary Baker stated that
General Funston had not advised the
department of General Bells report
and that all information reaching him
indicated that Herrera was loyal to
Carranza. Major General Scott, chief
Of staff, declared emphatically he did
not believe the report

5000 Homeless In Augusta.

Augusta, Ga.-With six business
blocks levelled by fire and more than
600 houses destroyed, Augusta was
feeding and housing it's 5000 home
less, without aid from the outside
world.
Estimates of the firse loss remained
at 100000 tonight, but citizens who
discussed the disaster expressed the
view that the loss of 100 business
houses was not felt more than was
the destruction of many historical
buildings.

Kills Himself and Four Children.

Greensboro, N. CD. G.. Patterson. a
prominently connected man of this
city, murdered his four children in
their beds and committed suicide. He
used the full round of a five-shot re-
volver in killing the children and re-
loaded the weapon to end his own life.
The tragedy occurred shortly before
daylight. The dead are the father,
Louise, aged 16; Gordon, aged IL;
Frances, aged 9; Cowles, aged z.
Patterson had evidently found Louise
and Cowles asleep together and they
died without being awakened.
