COLORED YOUTH TO
ATTEND INSTITUTE

c. H. Toney, principal OF the Val
lejo Institute, a literary and industrial
free school for negro children, closed
{. series of lectures Wednesday even
ing at the Second Baptist church, on
Brighton street, Ell Centro.
He urged his people to avail them
selves OF the splendid opportunities
offered them in the valley, save their
money, buy land, build homes, and to
educate their children to work with
the hands along with the literary
work; to be honest and fair in all of
their dealings, and to SO conduct them
selves as to demand respect from all
races.
He commended the separate school
for his people, and lauded the white
people for giving his race chance
to work out their own salvation here
III the valley. He said that all other
races are proud of their own race.
loved the association of their own
race, and that the negroes should do
likewise.
There are over 10000 negroes, he
said, in California, and he hoped the
day would soon come when separate
schools would be provided for his peo-
pie in all communities where there are
n sufficient number of negro children.
He thanked the press for mentioning
his visit and his people for their cor
dial reception.
Several students from Ell Centre
lave been enrolled for his school for
next term.

Contest Is Filed in
Imperial Election

Judge f. c. Farr was over from
Imperial today, and in connection with
holland & Kibbey filed a contest
OF the recent booze election in I'm
perial, George H. Matthews, manager
of the Imperial Land Company, acting
as complainant.
The complaint alleges that Theo.
MaXfield, inspector in Precinct No. |,
Imperial, at the time of the election
Utilized his position on the election
board to dominate the board; that in
cases of challenges he changed the
wording of questions required by law
and through his partiality in favor of
the saloons thirty disqualified persons
were permitted to vote.
Wherefore the petition asks that the
illegal votes be thrown out and that
The court decree that instead of the
vote standing 10 in favor of license
that it be declared to be q against
license.
The attorneys in the case have been
cry deliberate in planning for the
contest, and believe they have found
sound ground on which to lodge their
action.

East Indians Hanged.

San Francisco, May 4.-That several
Hindus formerly residents of San
Francisco and other Pacific coast cit
les were among 300 East Indian
hanged in India after being convictea
of sedition, was the statement mac
here today by Ram Chandra, edito
of the local Hindustan Gadar, a pa
per denounced by the British secre
tary for India as "the most danger.
Gus of all revolutionary publications"
Among the Hindus who were exc
cuted, according to Chandra, were
Karta Singh, Hindu aviator, formerly
on the staff of the Gardar and an ex-
pert in the manufacture and use of
explosives; Kanshi Ram, who was a
well-to-do contractor in Oregon; Md
han Singh, VINO lived III the United
States for twenty years and was one
of the leaders in anti-British propa-
ganda, and Sohan Singh, religious
leader of the "Namdhari" sect.
Ram Chandra stated that 700 Hin
dus have been transported for life and
that more than 10000 were interned
in India.

Villa Is All In.

Providencia, Mexico, April 29-(By
courier) Whether Francisco Villa is
dead or alive, he is through as ban
cit.
This is the belief of Americans anC
Carranzistas expressed here today
The bands that he commanded are
scattered and demoralized and his
prestige has been dimmed by success
sive defeats.
The wreck of Villas fortunes has
put a quietus on banditry in northern
Mexico, in the opinion of military men.
They believe the Carranzistas will be
able hereafter to control northern
Mexico. Their forces are ample to
cope with the remaining outlaws and
TO police the country adequately. Car
ranzista leaders now hope to gather
together the remnants of General Ger
vantes' band and enroll them under
the standard of the first chief" thus
removing another obstacle to the
maintenance of order in Mexico. At
last reports Villa was in serious
condition, according TO Figuero Saenz,
his sweetheart of Guerrero.
She told Colonel Dodd at Guerrero
that Villa was brought into the vii
lage in carriage after the Battle
of Guerrero last month with his head
landaged. All but the girl and DR..
Stell, an American, were ordered away
from his side. The bandit would not
even allow Dr.. Stell to treat him, tax
ing a roll Of bandages from the Amer
lean surgeons hand, apparently in
tending to treat himself.

Reach Agreement
Tn Mexican Affair

Washington May 4.--Peace seems to have been Sc
cured between the United States and Mexico for time
at least as result of the conference at Ell Paso def
mite agreement has been reached whereby the United
States soldiers will remain in northern Mexico until Car
rama has the bantt under subection and has demon
strated his ability to protect the border The Americans
will have the use of the railroad to carry provisions to
their base and the Caranza forces will be put at work
vigorously chasing the bandits to earth.
AS General Obregon has apparently entered with
spirit into the undertaking. it is believed there will from
this time on be less of friction between the two govern
than has been experienced during the whole revo-
utionary period

Outcome in Doubt.

Washington, May 4.-The an
nouncement from Berlin that new and
definite instructions are to be given
tc German commanders is the first
positive indication of how Germany
will attempt to meet President Will
sons final demand that she declare
and effect an abandonment of the
present methods Of submarine war
fare.
Whether, or not, the new instruc-
tions will meet the terms of the last
American note, and thus prevent a
break in diplomatic relations, can only
be determined by a close and careful
examination.
President Wilson is represented by
those closest about him as mistaken
in his determination that the issue is
rot negotiable; that settlement can
not be delayed by discussion Of side
issues, such as the British blockade
and retaliatory measures; that the
controversy between the countries can
proceed further in diplomacy only ii
Germany effectually stops destruc-
ton of ships without warning and
takes measures to bring her subma-
line operations otherwise within the
confines of international law.
With declaration that such orders
have been given end evidence that
they will be carried out in good faith
the president is willing to discuss the
conduct of submarine warfare, but
only on that basis.
heT report that new instructions
to submarine commanders would be
announced served to encourage hope
of a favorable outcome to the long
dispute, but all decision is being re-
served until the newest German
communication can be thoroughly con-
sidered.

German Reply in
Presidents Hands

Washington, May 4-There is reason to believe that
the president has the German reply in hand and that
it is being decoded and will be studied in all it's aspects
by the administration.
Information which is believed to be reliable is to the
effect that Germany comedies the demands of the United
Staes but accompanies the concession with comments
which may prove to place limitations the main issue,
rendering it unacceptable.
While is hoped the reply will be all that could be
asked it still is among the possibilities that it may be
found necessary to reject it, and should that happen is
believed the president will Immediately break off dpo
matte relationship with Germany.
1t is believed the next twenty four hours will deter
mine what the result of the controversy is to be-

pleted about one-half mile of sand

is not expected that this bride will
ae finished before Christmsa.
Mr.. Allen states that he is now lay
ing about 900 feet Of concrete a day
over mile week. A good average
kept up is between ito and 120 feet
each hour. Heretofore there has been
considerable delay on account of poor
pumping facilities. Now, however
new engines and pumps have been in
stalled and no further water shortage
is anticipated.

Cotton of the war.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1916-03-15

on every ones lips was as to what part
would be played in the approaching
hostilities by the large number of
troops under Carranza commanders
that are gathered in region the eX-
peditionary force is expected to pass
through.
For the last few days reports have
accumulated of serious dissatisfaction
among the Carranza soldiers near the
Arizona border under the command of
General Gales. Many of these reports
have been extremely circumstantial
and they eliminated today in story
from Preside, Texas, that the Car
rama garrison at Ojinaja had revolted
and its commander, General Rojas
had Joined Villa
Resent U. S. Invasion.
Stories brought from the interior of
Mexico by American fugitives served
to create the impression that the Mex
lean troops under CarranZa resented
our presence on Mexican territory
Refugees told of being assaulted and
insulted and cursed by soldiers they
encountered in their flight but no act
of physical violence has been report
ed. AT the same time other Ameri-
cans, especially those who came from
Sonora and the western part of Mex
leo, declared that conditions in those
parts were quiet.
Americans from chihuahua City
who arrived here last night by train
reported that 40 or SO Americans were
left in the city. An escort of fifty-six
Carranza soldiers accompanied the
train.
Viliastas Ride Race Horses.
One of the difficulties in catching
Villa as pointed out by the Ameri-
cans was the superiority of horses his
men ride over the other mounts avail
able in northern Mexico. Villa 5
horses were designated as race
horses" The fugitive has made a
practice of seizing or buying the fin
est horses available. Another problem
the Americans said lay in the fact that
through fear or ignorance the Mexi-
cans residing in country regions near
Chihuahua give considerable ale
glance to Villa. In the cities they
considered the Carranza sentiment
dominant but said Villa was free to
travel without danger in rural regions
unless he came into actual contact
with Carranza troops.
Seize Munitions to Mexico.
Considerable surprise was shown
over a story from Douglas, Ariz, that
United States soldiers had seized half
million cartridges consigned to Cen
eral Gales. Another development to-
day was the tightening by Carranza
authorities of censorship.

FUNSTON SEES A
DIFFICULT CAMPAIGN
Continued from Page One,

ly most deSOlate countries in the
world. What nature did not do for it
in this respect the fighting factions III
Mexico have done. Unless we go in
there sufficiently supplied with food
and fodder to take care of the prob
lem of subsistence entirely, we would
be defeated by the nature of the coun-
try long before we met Villas forces.
There is nothing left in all tina. bar
rem region for us to buy or take. Our
prisoners, taken in the Columbus raid,
tell US that Villa and his men are liv-
ing upon jerked beef. They have no
other food supply of consequence.
Il believe that our aeroplanes are
going to be of great value to us in
scouting work in this campaign. 1t
will be the first time we have ever
used our planes under war conditions
and 1 have great hopes of their sue
cess.
Cause of Delay.
II hope that the American people
understand the reason for the appar-
ent delay in crossing the border and
starting the chase. 1t would have
been sheer folly for us to continue the
chase the day Of the Columbus raid
We had about $50 men against Villa S
1900 and possibly more. Our men
had no supplies with them. They
might have continued a running fight
a i killed a few more Villistas, but
unless they could have actually cap
vance would have been gained. The
fast that Villas forces so greatly
outnumbered ours made pursuit dan
gerous. Had our troops been sur
rounded, as easily might have been
done, another Custer massacre would
nave resulted.
From what l have learned, l be-
lieve that Villa made the raid as the
result of one of his characteristic
brain storms.
These fits of blind, unreasoaing
anger of his are well known and,
while in them he will do anything.
Back of all of this was the hope, 1
presume, that Intervention might re-
suit in swinging the tide of popular
Mexican favor his way and bringing TO
him large bodies of Mexicans and so
become a serious factor in Mexican af
fairs again
