circles, the strawberry crew, cap
tanned by Harry Dec.xSr, are being
given the edge in the coming event,

Mr.. Burns said he had no control of

On February 5, 1915, clerk, Mr..
Martin, discovered the loss of certain
Of the city books. Mr.. Martin reported
the fact to the commissioner of finance
and to Mr.. Burns. The witness said he
conferred with Commissioner Andrews
as head of his department.
"He asked me not to say anything
about it," testified Mr.. Burns. HE said
we possibly would not have the audit.
and the loss would not matter. He
said II the loss were known 1t would
hurt him in his race for reelection"

been connected with any disappear
ance of money!" asked Attorney
Stokes.
None whatever"
Had you ever known OF any misuse
of money by Lyle Andrews"

where no entry had been made Of an ad
valorem tax payment by Lebeck Bros,
Of 1885. ! asked Mr.. Andrews about 1t.
and he said he and Mr.. West had used
that check and one or two others in the
campaign"
Burns said Mr. Andrews never made
good the Lebeck check, though he
(Burns) had repeatedly asked him
about it.
Mr.. Burns said he told City Treas
urer Murray Of the taking of the Lee
beck check by Mr., Andrews He said
he thought Mr.. Murray's rubber stamp
had been used to validate the check.
and cautioned him not to leave 1t
around promiscuously.
Mr. Burns said he reported the loss

In introducing Superintendent Sher-
rill President Gilbreath referred to
the recent report of the general edu-
cation board that Tennessee had
made greater progress during the
past year than any other southern
state, due in large measure to the
elimination of politics from the pub
lie school system.
Superintendent Sheriff. discussed
the results that the public had right
to expect from its public schools.
Among other things he stated that ev-
cry child educated in the public
schools should be trained into produc-
tive citizenship, that he should be.
come an intellectual and moral force
in the community. He insisted elo-
quently that the country schools
should train students to meet the
problems of country life. His address
was very hopeful and inspiring.

San Geronimo, Chihuahua (Via Aer-

dred American cavalrymen, under Col
w. C. Brown, Tenth cavalry, defeated
an equal force Of Villa followers in the
second engagement Of the campaign
ut Aguas Calientes, 30 miles north of
Guerrero, on April l.
This report was brought to Gen.
Pershing by two Mexican ranchmcn,
who said that the Mexican forces lost
30 men and 40 horses, while the Ameri-
cans suffered no casualties.
villa was not with the band, &C
cording to the ranchmen, who assert
ed that the American troops believed
ut first they had encountered the ban
ait chieftain.
For hours the American cavalrymen
Followed Manuel lopez, one of Villas
iieutenants, and his bandits, through
winding canyons and almost impassa.
BILE trails of the mountains. Believing
they had eluded their pursuers, the
bandits relaxed their vigilance and be-
fore they realized II they we're con-
6Tonted by the troops Of the Tenth
cavalry Of Gen. Pershing's old regi.
ment, which had been stationed near
che town to intercept stray bands at
tempting to make their escape.
Only the most meager details Of the
ensuing engagement were brought by
the ranchmen, but in many respects u
resembled that of a week ago at Guer-
zero. Immediately the bandits realized
the presence of the American troops
they began a hurried, disorganized
Night from their camp, some seizing
their ponies and others trying to make
their escape afoot. They went slngiy
and in small parties, all firing at the
American troops as they fed. None
took time to aim, the ranchmen said,
and as a result none of the bullets
found a khaki.clad mark.
Officers here are inclined to believe

running fight, that at least as many
more we're wounded. 1t was asserted
also that because OF the nature OF the
engagement 1t is probable that some
equipment, supplies and prisoners may
have been captured. The ranchmen
told Gen. Pershing that the Villa fol-
lowers fed in scattering bands OF
three to FIVE men before the negro cav
alrymen.
Reports reaching here indicated that
che band encountered by the American
cavalrymen was the largest detach-
ment of the force defeated and scat
tered at Guerrero a week ago by Col.
Dodd's command These troops we're
said to have been in the vicinity of
Bachiniba Pass for several days.
Two American scouts reported to
Gen. Pershing they had been fired on by

rons Of Bachiniba and that they had
returned the fire. Two troops of cav
