AGED AMERICAN
SLAIN BY BANDITS
AT SANTA R0SAL|A

I'll Paso, Nov. EVERY energy Of
the United States state department is
being directed today toward obtain
ing Information as to the safety OF 10
Americans known to be in Parral. and
apprehension was aroused to fever
heat upon the arrival last night OF
four Americans. who fed from Chi
huahua bringing further reports OF
the murder OF DR.. c. H. Fisher, aged
American. in Santa Rosaiia, by VII
lista bandits. nsf
After hunting down and killing DR..
Fisher. the bandits told the inhabi-
tants Of the town they were going
to Parral and kill those gringoes, :"
natives reaching Chihuahua City after
the raid told the refugees. In ON
cial quarters here hope is held out
that the Americans were able to es-
cape before the bandits reached Par
raj. Representatives OF mining COM
panies employing some OF the men
declare their belief that the men are
safe, but admit their anxiety has been
aroused by the lack OF news. In a
message to the United Press. General
Treyino, commander of the Mexican
de facto garrison at Chihuahua City,
stated he was unable to obtain any
news Of the fate Of the Americans
Communication still cut on. was the
word from Trevino, 'and have no
information from Parral. Making
efforts t0 get news"
On the same train bringing the
American refugees last night we're
the families OF two star officers Of
Trevino's army and the family OF
seven French residents Of the Chi
huahua capital leaving there in fear
that villa will next attack that city.
They crossed to the American side
OF the river. Every foreigner COM
ing out predicts that the city will be
evacuated II villa makes another at
tack.
w. f. Phillips, secretary Of the
Y. NJ. c. A. of chihuahua City. was
ono of tho refugeea
1T Is almost certain Fisher was
killed." he said. "A well known ma
tive cattleman. who came overland
from Santa Rosalia. declared that the
doctor hid when the bandits entered
the town. Upon orders OF the villista
commander he was hunted down and
stabbed to death.
I'm Chihuahua City 1t is believed
Parral is In possession Of villa. but
we heard nothing OF the fate Of the
Americans" said DR.. Phillips.
Other refugees said that artillery
on the hills back OF Chihuahua City
had been hauled down yesterday and
loaded upon fiat cars. This was taken
as an indication that evacuation was
imminent.
That another American was mur-
dered In Santa Rosalia was the state
ment Of DR., w. v. Jackson. OF Ell
'Paso last hight. He declared that an
influential Mexican who arrived here
brought information that Harry
Brenshan, mining prospector. was
caught by bandits after Fishers mur-
der and shot to death. DIR. jackson
said the report had been brought in
by a messenger sent to Santa Rosalia
by his informant after the raid. but
would not divulge his name.

BY JOHN M. osKIsoN.

In a list Of twenty-n mine short-term
notes and long bonds sent out the
other day by tho investment depart
ment of the worlds greatest trust COM
pany a government issue leads in the
matter of return. 1t yields $50 per
cent on the purchase price.
In this list are other government
notes and bonds, the bonds of cities.
railroads, public service corporations
and industrial corporations. Only one
other bond named yields above per
cent-that of the Seaboard Air Line
Railway Company. which yields 6.o3
per cent.
Logically, this government obligation
which yields go per cent ought to be
the most popular one on the list and by
the same reasoning ought to yield
about 4.50 per cent. 1t Is a shortterm
note. due October Is, 1920-less than
four years from now. 1t is backed un-
qualifedly by the credit of the govern

NEW YORK, MAY f3.-The club vom-
en- of the country, 100000 of whom
are represented in the General Fedora
tion of Womens Clubs, have perfected
plans for the greatest convention in the
history of the federation in New York
this month. The dates are May % to
June 8. During these seventeen days
IT is expected that fully 10000 women
representing clubs in every state in the
union. as well as some from Alaska,
Japan, England, Hawaii and South
America, will attend many of the in
Vulnerable meetings and social func-
tfons that have been arranged
New York city this year is said to
have more than 500 different conven-
tions on its calendar, but from all in
dications none will equal in attendance
the gathering of women. Special Senti-
ment is attached to the wOmen'S con-
vention by the fact that although the
federation was founded here twenty-siX
years ago. it is the first time since then
that the women have met in New York.
II was Jennie June" Croly one of the
founders of the SorosiS, the pioneer
woman's club in this country, who ini-
tiated the idea of general convention
of women's clubs in 1889, and the out
come of this was the holding of the
frst convention of the general fedora
tion in New York in the following
year, when sixty-three clubs were rep
resented by 126 delegates, and the
Sorosis was hostess.

One important announcement that
will be made at the convention is the
fact that the federation has raised an

Cincinnati convention in 1910, and now
that the sum has been realized it will
