Villa Cache Is Discovered,
len Machine Guns Captured


FIELD HEADQUARTERS Near Nami-
quipa. Mexico, May 26.-(Via Wireless
to Columbus. New Mexico, May 29.)-Ten
machine guns, $50 rifles and a quantity
of ammunition discovered yesterday in
a Villa cache here was brought to field
headquarters today. The arms were
found in a cave in Ojo Canyon, to reach
which the guides climbed a tortuous
mountain trail afoot.
Numerous theories have been advanced
as to the cache, but military authori-
ties here cling to the belief that It
contained a greater quantity of the ar
mament which Villa was reported to
have hidden in the Bachiniba district
before the raid upon Columbus, New
Mexico.
American army intelligence officers
are centering their efforts on seeking
further hiding places of weapons and
ammunition, realizing that the cleaning
of northern Chihuahua of such caches
is vital should Villa or any of his ad-
herents reorganize and attempt to oper-
ate in this region.

Pirate Schiller
Plays on Flute

Ernest Schiller the pirate man who,
single-handed, took charge of an English
freighter off the coast of Delaware,
forced the captain to turn back, and fol-
lowing his trial and conviction in the
federal courts of New York, is serving
a life sentence at the Atlanta peniten-
tiary, is now a member of the prison
orchestra. Schiller plays the clarinet
and is quite an artist it is said.
Had Schiller not been assigned to the
orchestra it is possible that he would
have been assigned to work as stone
cutter, as he is young and has a life
sentence ahead of him. The stonecutters
are usually recruited from the life-term
men because of the long time il takes to
become an expert at the work.
