Schee of Des MOines, treasurer of the
trustees, expected to be present, but
found it impossible to attend. The
parties met at the Lacey Hotel at IL
O'Clock m, where they were enter
tanned for dinner by the trustees.
After dinner, they held two hour
conference, discussing plans, methods
and past results of the administra-
tion of the Flag Fund.
In providing this fund, about six
years ago, it was the desire and pur-
pose of the generous and patriotic
donor, Hon. Geo. w. Schee, that the
Stars and Stripes should be displayed
every day upon each and all of the ru-
raj public schools in Mahaska, Marion
and Keokuk counties, where the 33rd
Iowa Infantry, Mr.. Schee's regiment,
was organized, and to keep before the
minds of the children the spirit OF
patriotism and loyalty to our country.
In 1910 a flag pole was erected on
each rural school house in the three
counties. and beautiful American
40 nfGh ~
is a permanent fund.- and the flag has
been kept floating on these buildings
exer since, whenever schools are in
session, and new flags poles and ropes
are furnished by the, fund whenever
needed. The Flag Salute is taught
to the pupils and observed by them.
The supervision Of the work in each
county is placed with the county su.
perintendent and each one had a
most encouraging and satisfactory re.
port to make to the trustees, Re&u-
lar monthly reports are made to the
by their teachers,
and annual summary reports by the
to the trustees of the
fund.
The superintendent reported great
interest on the part Of teachers and
pupils. and cooperation in the work
by school board officers and patrons
of their respective counties.
The trustees are anxious that the
wishes, and object Of the donor, Mr.,
Geo. w. SGhee. be carefully carried
out, namely, that the, flag be, kept reg
ularly displayed on every school
and new and additional sup
plies for the purpose are cheerfuIly
furnished whenever needed. There
is no expense whatever to the county
in this regard, as it is all betrayed
from the interest on the fund given by
M SChee. .'...

II AMERICANS SLAIN, REPORT
Correspondent Reaches San Antonio,
Tex, With Story of 5attIe-u. S.
Troops Forced to Make Stand
After Retreat From Town.

San Antonio, Tex, April 17.>-Cen-
eral Pershing has reported to General
Funston that a motor-truck train car
rying aeroplanes was attacked by for
ty Villista bandits Friday night fifteen
mics north of Satevo.
General Pershing was in command
of the motor-truck train at the time
of the attack. There were no Ameri-
can losses. The MeXicans were driven
off and one of their number killed.
Major Frank Tompkins, command
ing troops of the Thirteenth cavalry,
is reported to have been wounded in
the Parral fighting. Americans were
driven from Parral to Santa Cruz by
500 Mexicans. Americans had onl~ 100
men. Two Americans were killed,
six wounded in running fight.
AeropIane to Garry Report.
Col. w. c. Brown of the Tenth cav
airy has requested through Consul
Letcher at Chihuahua that an aero
plane be dispatched Immediately to
bring in a report of an encounter
Thursday night. The message from
Colonel Brown was filed at Santa
Cruz, about twenty miles north of Par
raj.
The information Colonel Brown is
believed to be endeavoring to report
to General Funston refe~ to an en-
gagement between his forces and Mex
lean natives at Maturana some time
Thursday. The International News
Service correspondent at Chihuahua
City heard of this fight through con-
stitutionalist officials Friday night.
He was not permitted to send the in
formation to the border and took the
trail. which left Chihuahua Saturday
morning. -f#.- -...f'
Eleven Americans Reported Killed.
The correspondent arrived here. He
said:
Il was informed that Colonel Brown
retreated from Parral ntha southeast.
but was forced to make a stand at
Maturana to defend his men. In the
fighting which followed, ! was told.
eleven Americans we're killed"
The statement of the correspondent,
who is thoroughly reliable. is not be-
ing sent out as Cincial, or as having
been confirmed by the Mexican aU
thorities from whom it was obtained.
It is, however, the latest. as well as
the most authentic news, from the
extreme advance where the American
troops are known to have been in dis
tress.
che investigation of the report of
Villas death shows it originated
through a telegraphic conversation
carried on by the Mexican operators
at San Antonio and MADEIRA, on the
Northwestern railway. The operator
told his friend at MADEIRA that Villas
body was brought there from the VI
entity Of Cusihuiriachic. The Ma
dera operator relayed the message to
the railway dispatcher at Juarez.
ParraI Report Received.
General Funston has received a dc.
tailed report of the encounter of Mex
leans and American troops at Par.
raj Wednesday which. it was said at
his Headquarters, indicated that the
affair was more serious than former
reports have made it appear.
No information has reached head
quarters corroborating the reports that
Villas body is being brought to Chi
huahua City. ....,... -.
