authoritative sources that Gen. Pablo
Lopez, a Yaqui chieftain closely allied
with Villa, ordered the shooting of the
Americans
The number slain was definitely fixed
tonight at nineteen. Seventeen were
Americans. One Canadian and one
Mexican also were murdered.
The train bearing the bodies of the
dead, which was expected to arrive to-
night, was delayed, and probably will
not come In until tomorrow morning.
Because of this the indignation meeting
planned for tonight has been postponed
until tomorrow.
American troops, at the request of the
municipal authorities, guarded the Mexi-
can quarter of the town all day to pre-
vent possible violence at the hands of the
aroused American population.
Indignation among American residents
was greatly intensified as the day wore
on, and demonstrations were frequently
threatened by street gatherings.

Ivanof Says Russia
VIII Fight Till End

Russian Headquarters, South
western Front, Jan. I2.-Gen.
Ivanoff. commander of the
armies on this section of the
front, said today:
"We can go on as long as we
are wanted. Our technical
services are constantly improv-
ing. Within. a year, our output
of munitions will be doubled.
1t does not matter where the
fighting line extends, because
the outcome of the war will be
settled not by occupation of
territory, but by destruction OF
the hostile armies and re-
sources. We are resuming the
process of attrition on a large
scale, calmly and patiently con-
fdent in our strength and in
the readiness of our country to
endure any trials.
"At the same time, we doubt
not for an instant that our allies
share our views and Will exert
themselves to the uttermost to
utilize their wonderful techni-
cal resources and the determi-
nation of their people to van
quish the Teutonic foe."

Dying and Score Injured.

Philadelphia, Jan. 12-The annual bowl
fight between the freshmen and sopho-
mores of the University of Pennsylvania,
engaging several hundred students, ended
today in a tragedy. When a whistle bla st
signalled the end of the fierce encounter,
William Lifson, of Elizabeth, N. J., II
years old, was found crushed and suf-
focated to death in the center of the

freshmen in the big, inverted wooden
bowl that the sophomores battled to
guard. Then he had been buried under
scores of battlers.
Gordon smyth, sophomore. suffered a
conclusion of the brain and other in
juries. Reports from the university
hospital tonight are that he is dying.
Two others were seriously wounded.

Emily Burger Admits She Is
Other Woman" in Mohr Case
Former Housekeeper for Murdered Physician Tells Court Of
the Part She Played in the Double Life Of the Victim
Confronted with Hotel Registers Bearing Her Name.

Miss Burger realized what a tremen-
dous thing she had sworn to do--to
tell the truth.
Mr.. Cushing picked up sheet of
paper from the table before her and
read from it list of the hotels where
she had registered with DIR. Mohr. I'm
til that time there had been no sug-
gestion that the story of DR.. Mohr's
double life would be brought from the
lips of Emily Burger. During the di-
rect examination Miss Burger had tes-
tiied that she was employed by DR..
Mohr as a housekeeper in his splendid
Newport residence. She also testified
that DIR. Mohr had been a good friend
to her.
1t was not until Mr.. Gushing held
before him that sheet of paper that
any one in the court room understood
that the big test was to be demanded
of this low voiced woman. 1t came so
suddenly that 1t stunned every one.
Under her fur-trimmed cloak you could
see her breast rise and fall. But she
did not faint. She asked that the list
of the hotels be read again. Her re-
ply was singularly frank. She said:
II was with DIR. Mohr at number OF
these hotels but not at all of them"
