Col. Dodd's Men Rode All Night and

Chase Near End

Ell Paso, Texas.-Four hundred
American cavalrymen under the com
mand Of Col George A. Dodd, gallop
ing down from the granite slopes OF
the great continental divide, have fal
len on the main body of Francisco
Villas bandits at the San Geronimo
ranch, scattering them in many direc.
tions and driving the bandit chief,
wounded and crippled to seek hiding
place in the mountains. Villa was
hurried from danger In carriage.
The battle opened at o'clock in the
morning OF March 20 and continued
for several hours.
The news OF the exploit was flashed
into Juarez and sent thrill along the
border. For II hours the veteran
the Seventh and Tenth Cavalry, drove
down the valley OF the Santa Maria
river. At the end Of the 55-mile ride
they fell upon the unsuspecting Villa
camp where 500 bandits we're cele-
brating the massacre Of 172 Carranza
soldiers two days previously at Guer-
rero.
Villa. shot through the leg and
with one hip shattered, was hurried
from the scene barely in time to es-
cape the onslaught of the Americans.
The bandits made brief but hopeless
stand before charge of Colonel Dodd
and his troopers.
Then they broke and fled leaving
81 dead on the field including their
General Eliseo Hernandez.
Two machine guns, number Of hors-
fell into the hands of the Americans.
Among the known wounded is Pab.
o Lopez, Villas lieutenant In the Co.

les were four priyates wounded.
The American soldiers did not lin
ger on the field Of victory For five |
hours they drove the enemy before
them into the wilderness of mountain
peak desert and conyon, where roads
or even trails are unknown and where
mis-step means death to horse and
rider. They halted only after the
chase had led them 10 miles and the
fugutives were scattered into little
bands" of half dozen men each.
Villas career has ended; his power
has: been broken. His death or cap:

L. is 1t right for the preacher of the gospel in

South America and let our schools in Georgia
die?
1t is high time for to do some clear thinking

the minds of our people elsewhere.
Overhead expenses among Baptist Boards are

We have nothing to fear by facing and answer

Answering a Chicago Publisher,
VINO Inquired About The Case
of The Pope of Rome,
VS.
ThOs. e. Watson.

In 1909, W. published in his Magazine a
prospectus OF series of articles which he
proposed to run, from month to month, under
the title-"THE ROMAN CATHOLIC
HZERARCH11, the Deodziest menace to orr
liberties end institutions"
He stated that he had no war to make upon
any mans religion, or his free exercise there
of; but that his articles would be directed
solely against the political encroachments, and
immoral tendencies of the system.
AT that time, the Magazine, in addition to
its subscri ption-list, had a news stand circ,a-
ton of 5000, handled by The American News
Co., Of New York
This Corporation notified the Business
Manager of The Jeffersonian Publishing Co.
0Watson's Company that if W. persisted in
his purpose to publish the series of articles
above mentioned, the Magazine would not be
allowed upon the news stands
w. persisted, and the Magazine was i'm
mediately boycotted, losing, of course, its
5000 circulation at one blow.
The American Federation of Catholic So
cieties then entered the fight on W., through
its Secretary, Anthony Matre, then of st.
Louis.
Matre wrote to every advertiser whose name
appeared in WatSOn's Magasine, urging the
withdrawal of patronage, and limiting at a
Catholic boycott, if his request were not
needed.
Almost without exception, the advertisers
took alarm and withdrew their patronage.
AS w., however, was able-at great loss to
himself-to continue the publication of his
magazine, Anthony Matre went to New York,
and enlisted the official services of Anthony
Comstock, the well-known 2. 0. Inspector.
Without notice to the Postmaster General,
Mr.. Hitchcock, Matre and ComstOck began a
criminal prosecution against w. in the U. S.
District Court, within whose jurisdiction he
lives. He was indicted for having used
several pages of Latin quotation from the
"Moral Theology" Of Alphonsus Liguori, who

Charles Hughes for Trustee

As the older readers of The Jeffersonian

Hebrew genius was published in his paper,
while he was cruising in the Mediterranean,
off Naples.
The appearance of such defense of him
self, from such source, seemed to touch the
failing man deeply, and he wrote to me a let
ter OF appreciation, one of the very last he
ever signed
With certain pathos he said, that he had
often been attacked by men whose enmity
was unexpected but had never been defended
by any one whose good will he had no right
to claim; and he alluded to the fact that he
had often lambasted me about my views on the
Money Question and others
There never was more cautious man than
Joseph Pulitzer, and few who were better
judges of character.
It was amazing what pains he took in the
premises, before he would employ private
secretary, business manager, a captain for
his yacht, or a member of his editorial staff.
Now, when his nervous system went to
wreck, and the fall OF teaspoon on saucer
almost threw him into commissions, and the
men on board his yacht had to wear gum
shoes, the great man knew that he could not
live long
So, with the minute and elaborate care with
which he conducted his immense newspaper
interests, he went about the preparation of his
will.
He had started in life as a German Jew,
without property and without education, but
he had taught himself had become the master
Of Journalism, and had amassed a fortune
which ran up into the millions.
Who should he select as Trustee, to take his
place ache1o he should be gone?
To whom should his wife and children, and
all the other benefciaries of his Estate turn
for advice, for protection, for safe edministra-
ton of the fortune, when the genius which
created it should be extinct?
Joseph Pulitzer q0as q Democrat. Really,
in principle and except on the Money
Question, he was a Jeffersonian-J acksonian
Democrat.
There was very eminent Democrat who
had long lived and been I'm the public eye, in
the neighboring State of New Jersey.
He had long been President of the Prince
ton Social Equality University.
He had been advanced into politics, and
made Governor Of New Jersey.
Joseph Pulitzer knew Woodrow Wilson,
and knew him WELL
They belonged to the same party, and they
were neighbors.
Did the avonde4fuzzy 81treacd, Sagaci0us and
qceIz-imfO1naed JeqO CHOOSE WOODROW
WILSON, to be one of the Trustees oOho
should administer his Estate?
No! He did not.
Wilson was too prominent man, and too
near by to have escaped Pulitzers attention.
Evidently, Wilson was thought of and passed
by.
Upon whom did the Democratic Jew be-
stow the highest trust which one man can re-
pose in another-that of being faithful, vig-
liant, and capable in the administration of
vast Estate?
The Democratic JeaO turned his 6uch up0n

was canonized by the Roman church in 1888.
These quotations were not translated, at all:
w. simply copied the original. The Latin
lays down the questions which priests are
required to ask of female penitents. in the
secrecy and privacy of the confessional
w. followed the example of such histo-
rians as Gibbon, Carlyle Froude, Hallam,
Robertson and Lecky, who use many quota
tons in the original dead language, which
would be quite unprintable IN English.
The case against w. is still pending. The
Indictment was quashed by Judge Foster, but
was renewed by the District Attorney, who is
believed to have been specially employed by
Anthony Matre, for The American Fedora
ton of Catholic Societies.
The second Indictment does not differ from
the first, except In the addition of a small
amount Of new matter, put in to save APP
pearances. The gist of the charge remains
the same, namely-the horribly vile questions
which bachelor priests are required to use in
probing a woman's life at confession.
Before Judge Lambdin, the case was tried
in Nov. 1915, and the Government was al
lowed, over Defendants protest, to put before
the jury translation into English of the
Latin quotations, and W. was tried as If he
had mailed these tr09osZat50ns
Even under such adverse rulings, the Jury
refused to convict standing 10 to 2 for ac-
quittal.
Before Matre began his campaign against
W., the National Convention of the Pope's
American Societies adopted formal Reso-
luton to the effect that ''Watson must be put
out of business"
AT each Convention since, Matre has Off
clally reported on the case. That the Roman
church, and not the Government, as the real
prosecutor, is proved by the fact that Post
master General, Frank Hitchcock, requested
the District Attorney to dismiss the warrant,
but received for his answer the District At
torneys statement, that he aoouzd haze to con-
silt "other parties"
These other parties must OF necessity be
the Pope's American Secret Societies, such as
the Ancient Order of Hibernians and the
Knights of Columbus.
So embittered has become the persecution
of W., that the present Administration has
heartily co-operated with the Roman church,
In the determination to destroy common
enemy, for W. not only opposed the nomina-
ton of Professor Woodrow Wilson, in 1912,
but inflicted upon him in Georgia decisive
defeat
As the Private Secretary to President VII
son IS q member Of the Papoz Secret Society
q"hich initiated the prosecution, he has been
in a position to greatly stimulate the activi-
ties of the Government officials o0ho hare lent
themselves to this modern popish Ioquisition.
In the meanwhile, w. continues to publish
papers, magazines, and books, devoting him
self largely to literary propaganda against
Rome, her political ambitions and her Mo-
nastic institutions first of which has in
variably been destructive to freedom and
progress; and the second, degrading to morals,
and personal liberty.

GOVERNOR FIRES CAPP
WARDEN DECLINES TO LEAVE
STATE REFoRMAToRY.
Order Issued by Executive After Ex-
animation Of Witnesses-Warden
Refused to Attend Hearing.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Denver-Governor Carlson Tues
day issued an order removing War
den NJ. P. Capp of the State Reform
atory at Buena Vista from office, al
ter declaring the warden guilty of ex-
IRENE cruelty and neglect, of duty.
Warden Capp will refuse to relin-
2uish his position. r. L. Shaw OF
Buena Vista, who was appointed war
den by Governor Carlson during the
session of the last General Assembly

1t is expected that Warden Capp
will formally decline to turn the in
stitution over to Shaw upon demand
and that Shaw will begin a quo war
ranto suit in court as a means OF
busting Capp.
The removal order was issued by
Governor Carlson after he held a
hearing on evidence against Warden
Capp that occupied almost two hours.
This evidence chiefly concerned the
whipping of inmates at the institu-
ton and charges that diseased meat
had been fed to them
Governor Carlson had summoned
Warden Capp to appear before him
10 answer inquiries in regard to the
charges but the warden did not ap-
pear and was undefended before the
executive.
Instead, he sent letter to the gov
srnor saying that he did not believe
It was his duty to appear at the pres
ent time and that he had information
which led him to believe that should
ne leave the institution an attempt
will be made to invade and take this
institution by force by outsiders"
District Attorney G. A. Walker
from Buena Vista, and William J..
Candlish, state senator, who is re-
sponsible for Shaw's appointment, at

had been whipped were read. and
three witnesses were examined.
These were George T. Lindsey, for
merly a guard; Samuel w. Swenson,
