Was 1t Villa q?

SAN ANTONIO, March 20-"General
Villa did not lead the raid on Colum-
bus, N. NJ, | know that positively,
because | know where he was on that
day"
This statement was made today by
Otto Francke, a wealthy ranch owner
Iof Santa Cataline, Mexico, who came
here especially to see General Funston.
Both General Funston and Francke re-
fused to discuss the subject, but re-
ports have been current here for two
days that General Villa is ready to
surrender to the United States if he is
assured that he will not be turned over
to the Carranza authorities.
Francke maintains that bandits with
whom Villa had no connection used
his name without authority.

VOTERS SLOW
IN QUALIFYING
THOSE ON BOOK TWO YEARS
AGO HAVE NOT AS YET PAID
UP THEIR TAXES.

Despite the fact that political cam
county offices, with the various can
didates actively at work, voters of the
county are slow in qualifying for the
primary to be held on April Is, and
thus far Tax Collector Read has not
had any rush at all at his office.
While large number of voters have
paid their taxes and therefore are
qualified to vote, still a majority of
those who were registered two years
! ago have not visited the tax collector
I or mailed him a check to cover the
amount of state and county taxes, and
| until they do this they will not be
qualified to vote.
| AS has been outlined in The News
! before, that new registration law went
! into effect two years ago, and while
a voter is not required to ever reg
/ lister again, provided he was registered
| in 1914 still he must pay up his taxes
| in order to vote. This feature of the
law, it seems, has been given suffi-
! cient publicity to be known by every
voter and taxpayer.
| OF course if you were not registered
/ in 1914 it will be necessary for you
! to register this year. While only a
! small number have thus far qualified
| for the coming county primary, it is
expected that large majority of them
will be safely on the books by April
/ 10. at which time the books close for
| the primary.

A PLEASING COMEDY.
"Twin Beds" Was Greatly Enjoyed at
Grand Last Night.

Irwin Beds rolIicking, sde-split-
ting comedy with amusing situations
almost every minute, held the boards
at the Grand last night and every
scene, every second for that matter,
was enjoyed by the audience. When
Salisbury Field and Margaret Mayo
wrote that comedy they evidently in
tended ii strictly for laughing purpo-
aes and they succeeded beyond any
question OF a doubt, There is laugh.
and q good one at that, dozen times
a minute throughout the three acts.
The cast is really an all-star one.
There are seven members of it, and
everyone is fitted for the role handled.
The comedy is well gtaged, perfectly
handled, and really deserved a much
larger house than was present last
night.

The only offices Mr.. Taggart has ever
held were auditor of this (Marion)
county for two terms, and three times
mayor of indianapolis.
Col. Ralston wrote Taggart a let
ter saying it afforded tim genuine
pleasure to appoint him United States
senator
You have long and faithfully
served your party" wrote Gov Raj
ston, "at great personal sacrifice to
yourself, both in labor and money
If the Democratic party has been
sound in its platform declarations
during the last twenty-five years, then
you have been sound in your advoc-
acy of political policy, for without
hope of personal preferment or re-
ward you have championed the cause
of your party with a dauntless cour-
age and an inspiring optimism.
Your services as public official
have been characterized with marked
efficiency and the strictest integrity
While you have been at times, Sc
verely criticised by some within and
some without your party, no respon-
sible man has ever laid the betrayal
of trust against you.
81 know you will go forth to the
discharge of your new duties firmly
resolved to support the administra-
tiOn of President Wilson and to pre-
serve the honor and dignity Of our
state and nation"

MADE
BY CARRANzA
OVER NEW MOVE
DE FACTO GOVERNM ENT PRO-
TESTS AGAINST OCCUPA-
TON OF CASAS GRANDES
BY AMERICAN TROOPS.

WASHINGTON, March 20-Gen-
.eral Carranza has formally protested
against American troops occupying
! Casas Grandes in their pursuit of
Villa and the American government
has replied that the troops have been
ordered specifically not to occupy
Casas Grandes or any other towns or
cities in Mexico
The protest and reply were in
cluded in the exchange of notes be-
tween Acting Secretary Polk of the
state de partment and Eliseo Are
dondo, ambassador designate to the
| United States from Mexico.
! After a conference early today be-
| tween President Wilson and Mr.. Polk
! it became known that Mr.. Polk in
note, forwarded to Mexico yesterday,
said instructionsn had been sent to
General Funston to keep his troops
away from all towns.
| The state department today had
not received a reply from the request
| sent to Carranza for the use of
Mexican railroads in transporting
supplies to the expeditionary force
! In urging the use of Mexican
railroads for that purpose it has
been pointed out to the Carranza
government that similar permission
was granted Carranza troops for the
I use of railroads in the United States
+lastyc
Mr.. Polk declared today the United
States had not requested permission
: to take over any railroads in Mexico,
but has asked merely for permission
| to transport supplies. He denied
emphatically reports that the request
OF the United States was in any
sense a demand or an ultmatum.
| The administration realizes fully
the difficulty of General Carranza's S
position because of feeling in Mex
| leo. For that reason every effort is
being made by the state department
to disseminate in Mexico the infor-
nation that the United States has
no motives of aggression in sending
troops across the border.
Following out the same policy
/ American troops in Mexico have been
given instructions to be careful in
their dealings with Mexicans gen
orally. All acts which might be CON
strued as offensive to the Mexican
population are to be avoided. Gen
orally reports from Mexico today
were optimistic. Mr. Polk emphati-
cally denied reports that the govern
ment had any reliable information of
plots to bring about armed interven-
ton.
General Carranza, it was learned
today, has been urged by some
of his closest advisers to offer large
reward for Villa
Sailing orders for the battleship
Kentucky, which had been ordered
: from New Orleans to Vera Cruz, were
changed today to send the ship to
Galveston. Secretary Daniels said
there was no need for the ship at
Vera Cruz and that reports from the
gulf coast of Mexico were optimistic.
