Felix Diaz Trying :...5
to Start Revolution
in Southern Mexico


Washington, April 5.-Reports
to the department Of justice indi-
cate there Is no longer doubt that
Felix Diaz has landed in Mexico.
He Is reported to be in command
of considerable force in south
ern Mexico and has received sup
port from Guatemala ri .T4s .r
A propaganda along. the border
between the United States and
Mexico is reported. ~. .
Thus far there has been little
definite information as to his
movements or the source from
which he obtained his arms and
ammunition. It has been fairly
well established that he received
considerable financial aid in New
York. One of his agents recently
was traced by department agents
to Canada and another was said
to have left recently for Spain.
1t is considered possible that
Diaz may have armed his follow
ers in Cuba. This Information re-
calls the sale Of arms by the
United States several years ago in

New York, April 5-Returns from
yesterdays primary elections in New
York state of delegates to the republi-
can, democratic and progressive ma
tional conventions. show a light vote
and few contests.

egates at large to the national con-
vention. and thereby lessened his
prestige in the coming campaign for
denomination. Friends Of the governor
said the result was satisfactory.

III vrLLA BAND DEFEATED.
Thirty Killed in Second Clash With
Remnant of Outlaw Force.

San Geronimo, Chihuahua, via Aero
plane to Colonia Dublan, and by Wire
less to Columbus, N. NJ. April 1.-Two
hundred American cavalrymen under
Col. w. G. Brown, Tenth cavalry, de-
feated an equal force of Villistas in the
second engagement Of the campaign at
Aguas Calientes, thirty miles north Of
Guerrero on April l.
This report was made to General
Pershing today by two Mexican ranch
men, who said that the Mexican forces
lest thirty men and forty horses while
the Americans suffered no casualties.
Villa Not With Band.
Villa was not with the band. ac-
cording to the ranchmen who asserted
that the American troops believed at
first they had encountered the bandit
chieftain An Investigation showed
that he had not been with the de-
tachment.
For hours the American cavalrymen
followed Manuel Lopez. one Of Villas
lieutenants and his bandits thru tor
tuous winding canyons and almost i'm
passable trails Of the mountains.
Believing that they had eluded their
pursuers the bandits relaxed their
vigilance and before they realized 1t
they were confronted by the troops Of
the Tenth cavalry Of General PERISH
irfg's old regiment. which had been
stationed near the town to intercept
stray bandits attempting to make their
escape.
Only the most meager details or the
ensuing engagement were brought here
by the Mexican ranchmen, but in
many respects it resembled that of
week ago Mt Guerrero.
Fled in Disorder.
Immediately the bandits realized the
presence Of American troops they be-
gan a hurried, disorganiZed flight from
their camp, some seiZing their ponies
and others trying to make their escape
afoot. Then went singly and in small
parties all firing at the American
troops as they fed.
None took time to aim, the ranch
men said, and as result none Of the
bullets found khaki-clad mark.
Officers here are inclined to be-
lieve that if thirty bandits were killed
in tse running fight. that at least as
many more were wounded.
It was asserted also that because Of
the nature of; the engagement 1t is
probable that some equipment and
supplies and prisoners may have been
captured. The ranchmen told Cen
eral Pershing that the Villistas were
fleeing in scattered bands Of three to
i've men before the cavalrymen.
Fired On by Outposts.
Reports reaching here indicated that
the force encountered by the Ameri-
can cavalrymen was the largest de-
tachment OF the force defeated and
scattered at Guerrero a week ago to-
day by Colonel Dodd's command.
These troops were said to have been

Torreon. Mexico. April 5-,Efforts to
arrange the surrender under an amnes-
ty grant of the command under Gen.
Canuto Reyes and other Villista lead
ers of the Torreon district are being
fastened.
Meanwhile it Is reported that band
of Villa supporters have completely
alienated the bandits cause in the
neighborhood Of Sombrette by wreck
Ing passenger train.
This took place last Thursday, Il
number of people being killed. SOM
bIette lies between Durango City and
Canitas on a branch of the Mexican
Central railroad.
Following Generel Reyes offer to
make peace on the ground that he was
weary Of bloodshed, General Travino
named a commission to confer on
peace terms. This commission re-
turned today from a meeting with
Reyes announcing they had failed to
agree.
Reyes Asks For Much Tine.
General Reyes wishes six weeks 10
which to notify all his followers. Gen.
eral Trevino will insist, however. that
all the villa leaders surrender and in
sists a ten-day limit and that he will
deal with them individually.
Hilario Rodriguez and a number Of
less important generals are with Reyes
and are expected to come In with him
if terms are agreed upon.
After several days interruption train
service has been resumed between hero
and Durango. 1t is believed here that
the bandits who wrecked a train be-
tween here and Sombrette are rem
snants of the dos-Zapatistas.

Alleged Rapid Concentration Of
Interests.

Washington, April 5.-Representa-
tives Of the meat packers. investiga-
tion OF whose industry is demanded
by live stock dealers, presented their
side Of the case to the house judiciary
subcommittee today. Among those
on hand to testify was Arthur Meeker,
vice president Of Armour & Company.
One Of the speakers today was Ed
ward L. Burke, Of Omaha, represent
ing the markets committee Of the Am
erican Live Stock Commission.
THE rapid concentration of the
slaughter and distribution of meat
animals in this country and South
America went Into the hands Of few;
men," he said.
"a simple statement of the facts is
sufficient. Less than twenty years ago
the working capital of the leading
firm, Swift g. Company, was little
more than $16.000,00 and the volume
Of business about 100000, 900. Now
the working capital Is approximately.
$12O, 000, 900, the earnings for 1912 were
over $14,000.000 and the volume of
business, 100000, 900. Armour & Com
pany have expanded at almost the same
rate and. the three smaller companies
have emulated the leaders altho on a
smaller scale. .aas, ~ ...
''Our association feels that there
exists necessity for a searching inquiry
and the application Of remedy to the
end that both the producer and packer
may receive a reasonable return. and
the public have meats at reasonable
prices"

How live stock producers are losing
more than $500, 900 a year thru natural

by Mr.. Burke. # |

Burke pointed out, and as the closing
