CROOKED POLITICS CONTROLS
q BOND SHARK EVIL
Squire, Lands made it hot for
some bond sharks yesterday. And
today number of members of the
bonding ring are feeling thesneed of.
a change in climate.
With a true Lands movement the
quiz of the bond evil moved toward
high-ups yesterday. It got as far as
Atty Bob Clarke, former sec'y to
LieUt-Gov. BaTTatt O'Hara, before
court adjourned. O'Hara himself
was called to court to tell what he
knew about Clarke and his connec-
tons with the bond game as played
in the Criminal Court bldg.
Before Lands finished his. seven
hour quiz he made T. NJ. Curtin, en-
plOye of County Treas. Stuckart, ad-
init that he had forged a deed to
make it appear that the property of
his widowed mother belonged to him.
Curtin named Clarke as the one
who had engineered the plot. He said
that after they had the use of the
fake deed they signed hundreds of
bonds, usually for pickpocKets.
Courtney ScobeH, clerk in the
court of Judge Rob't Grove of the
criminal court, specialized in getting
the release of pickpockets and auto
thieves and the property he used in
his work was owned by a negress,
Lands discovered.
Eeut.-GoT O'Hara today tele-
graphed Judge Lands that he knew
nothing of his former secretary's
bonding proclivities. He offered to
come to the city to testify if wanted.
Clarke, a reporter for a Minneap-
oils newspaper, denied that he had
pulled anything wrong in the bond
ing business. He notified Judge
Lands that he was writing a long
IL Il

They may be asked to testify later.
Judge Lands seems to be aiming
toward proof that the bonding of
pickpockets, stick-up men, con men
and auto thieves is a concession con-
troIed by crooked politics. Some of
the money evidently goes farther
than Murbhy's saloon, hangOut of

LID WILL BE CLAMPED DOWN
TIGHT NEW YEARS EVE
Between Mayor Thompson and

New Years eve lid is clamped down
good and tight. All hopes of several
of the dancing places in the loop and

terday afternoon when FOrSberg re-
fused to grant special a. m. bar per-

will have to be squeezed in between

The congregation Of the First Meth
odist Episcopal church yesterday pre-
sented its pastor, the Rev. c. @. Beck

Of about IS miles . day. the Ameri-
can punitive expedition on Sunday,
March IS, received information ap-
parently locating Pancho Villa. the
object Of their chase. Disposition of
the troops began at once for the task
Of hunting him down. Meanwhile
Villa was reported continuing his out
rage upon Americans.
The exact place the expedition has
reached was not allowed to be pub
lished by the censor. But at this town
the expedition was informed that the
Mexican leader passed through this
place only a few days ago. The lat
est information of Villas present
whereabouts placed him on the ranch
of Candelerio Hernandez, one OF the
subchiefs with him on the raid
against Columbus.
Gen. Pershing personally led the
flying cavalry column in the 11emile
dash. Every man in his command was
mounted. They pressed through a
section Of Mexico where water was
scarce. For such large body of men
the speed maintained was remarkable,
and the good condition In which they
came through was inspiring.
Only few cavalry horses and pack
mules were lost, the victims Of a
hard-ridden trail. The men reached
the camp thirsty and hungry, but 9TH
erwise in good condition, fit for &C.
ton and eager for the pursuit Of Villa
to begin in earnest. Here they were
met with reports that villa had raided
the American colonies in the vicinity
of his mountain retreats and that he
had killed residents of these colonies.

cARRANzA's STRANGE SHIFT
Mexican Army Moved To Border and
Now Lies Between Gen. Pershlns's
Force and the u. &


Ell Paso, Texas. -Much excitement
was occasioned here when It became
known that the largest part of Car,
ranza's army In North Mexico had
been transferred to the border and
now lies between Gen. Pershing's
force and the border.
The reason for the Carranza troops
moving to the border remains unex.
planned. 1t Is impossible even to
make a fair estimate OF the number
of men under Gen. Gayira at Juarez.
The large staff Eat his headquarters
and the fact that new troops are ar
irving daily indicates that his force
is large one. The most conservative
estimate rlsS 900 and calcu-
lations range frSh that point upward
to 5000. Every precaution has been
taken to prevent the facts being
known, and most Of the men are kept
outside the town among the hills. Re,
ports from Aqua Prieta and Ojinaga
tell of Mexican re-enforcements reach
ing those points also. but nothing is
known as to their numbers.
There is no question that there is
serious and growing uneasiness in Ell
Paso which has been sharply accentu.
ated by the problem which has arisen
over the request OF the United States
government to Gen. Carransa for the
use Of the Mexican railroads to trans
port supplies. Americans here do not
believe that Carranza dare grant this
request, especially rs 1t Is understood
that Gen. Funston proposes, II 1t is
granted, to take train crews and equip.
ment into Mexico and place military
guards at the stations The presence
of American soldiers on Mexican rail-
roads, It is said. would be very likely
misunderstood by the poems, end 1t is
feared would be sure to provoke out
breaks.

s. Soldiers Are Now Across

FL Paso, Texas.-Francisco Villa
was in desperate battle with Carran'
"a forces under Col. Cano at NamiQui
pa on the evening Of March 20. Here
the bandit leader turned on his pur.
suers and made stand after runa'
ming fight which started at Las Cruces
during the forenoon.
United States troops from the com.
mand Of Col George A. Dodd began al
once a rapid march to the support OF
the Carranzistas from Ell Vale. An
other detachment followed the trail
which leads to the pass through the
mountains to Babicora. II is believed
Villa win retreat in the direction OF
LaGuna Bahicora.
Reports indicate that the Americans
will be in the midst of the fighting be-
fore long, either at Namiquipa or the
mountain pass. An engagement at
the latter point would give Villa a
distinct advantage, as he is expected
to give fight from the mountain slopes,
Villa is said to have about 1900
men. He is able to stand and fight
only because 400 sympathizers, work
ing northward, well supplied with am
munition, Joined him at Namipiqua
The Carranza force is estimated at
less than 900 men. The strength Of
the detachments is not given.
The total number Of United States
troops now In Mexico is fixed at 5000
by an army authority. Half Of this
number have crossed the border since
the original expeditions started out.
Others are still going south.
Gen. Pershing is believed to be hur'
rying to the scene OF battle. The Sec
tion OF the Mexican Northwestern rail-
road south from Casas Grandes to
Cumbre and beyond is understood to
have been taken in charge by Gen.
Pershing to send re-enforcements and
supplies to Dodd's men.
