ing that little might be given. l went to see the officers who told me they had nothing on hand; I contin- ued to plead their case as eaTGestly as could and finally received an or der for a small amount of meal and bacon, which I took to the cemmis- sary and saw filed.
 Returning home, found man waiting for me; he was 8 very gen. teel looking person and with tremb- ling voice he told me he was ashamed to tell his business. He had never been a beggar until now but he had sick wife and six children, two of the children had been taken to the hospital, the others were starving. Tears rolled down his cheeks. My heart was full of sympathy, my hands and purse were empty. It was too late to go to the commissary so l stepped into neighboring grocery and bought him a peck of meal and two pounds of bacon; he tried to speak his gratitude but he could not. After he was gone I learned that in 1861 that man was worth over $40,- 900. Such scenes occur every day; but give you an account of one day only and every day the want in- creases. All classes are suffering.

SPAIN IS READY
 TO BATTLE FOR NATIONAL HONOR

Paris, April 28-The Marquis Prieto, Spain's new premier, in an interview with the Madrid correspondent of the Petit Journel declares that Spain can not adopt neutrality when it's honor and interest are involved. Inciden- tally, the premier intimated that his administration was prepared to sup port the vigirous note sent to Ger many by Count Romanones, his pre- decessor. in respect to the submarine issue Premier Prieto is quoted as saying:
 Neutrality is not a program and the country cannot adopt neutrality as an ideal and object at the expense of its honor and interest. Those who favor neutrality at any price do not understand that they place us in some ways at the mercy of anyone who wishes to attack us.
 "Who would have any consideration for nation which was disposed to swallow an affront The tgovern- ment which preceded Us sent a note We know that it reached it's destina- ton, but the answer will not be. re- ceived for some days. Our policy VII be dictated by the event. but what ever confidence we may have in the correctness of our judgment we be- Heve we must not take dcision. The problem in all it's aspects will be laid before parliament, in secret session ii necessary, together with the solution proposed by the government Par liament in full possssion of the facts will decide. If it's decision is contrar, to the views of the government the usual political consequences will fol. low"

WILL SEIZE VILLA DEAD OR ALIVE,
 MURCUIA vows
Conspiring Villistas Must be Checked, Says Carranza
 General.

Juarez, Mexico, April 28-"If the United States expects Mexico to pre- vent Gerrhans from menacing the American border, as General Carranza has agreed to do, then the American government should suppress the Villa juntas that exist in American border cities and should drive these Villa propa gandists from the border" Gen. eral Francisco Murgia, commander-in- chief of the northeastern military zone, said before leaving for Casas Grandes in pursuit of Villa.
 "We now are fighting a common enemy of the United States and Mex ico in Francisco Villa" continued General Murgia. sWe fight to pre- vent him from approaching the American border. Yet, just across the same border, Villa agents and Villa juntas are permitted to operate more or less openly, thereby aiding. and abetting an international criminal.
 At this time, when the military and civil authorities of Mexico are doing everything possible to eliminate Villa, I believe the United States would be doing real service, both to Cu0 OHllCu OIdIOS cdIlu IAOAlSO, II these Villa conspiracies were sup pressed. The purpose of my present campaign has been to prevent Villa from reaching the American frontier and to give battle to him whenever I could find him. Now we are bound for Casas Grandes to prevent Villa reaching point where another raid across the American border would be possible I am confident that our present method of campaigning against Villa will be successful and we will either capture or kill Villa and his leaders"
 General Murgia reiterated his denial that he had any German officers in his command. He also denied that he was going to Mexico City for con- ference with General Obregon, saying he would remain with his troops until Villa was captured or killed.

Sum Up Case Against
 Trustee Chamberlain

John C-Chamberlain, trustee of the bankrupt Burr & Knapp banking firm, whose removal is sought in the United States District Court, was yesterday chased as Incompetent to retain the trust. and asa man of high ideals.
 Attorney Sp0tswood D. Bowers, rep asnting the petit1ondnx creditors aslEfnG for Chamberlain's removal from old1ce declared that 1t had been proven from evidence submitted, Chamberlain was in such a position that he could not act with justice to all interests represented by him.
 Attorney John s. Pullman, repre- genting Mr. :. Chamberlain, declared that certain transactions recommend cd by the trustee were in reality done because 1t was thought to be of.ulti- mate be0efit to the Burr & Knapp credttoEs rather than an advantage to soncesns in which Chamberlain was m officer at the time.
 In risfng to summarize the evidence which has been presented to the reEerse during hearings which have required moro than two months, MT. Bowers asserted that it was extremely 4AckA " AOA AAAAAA IO QIOSCCQCS A Cc1S6 aeAAnst a brother lawyer but that in view of his close connection with the criminal proceedings which had pre- viously been brought against Herbert M Knapp, facts had been uncovered which necessitated petition for the re- moval of the trustee that odfum might not be cast upon the courts o1 this state. He then recounted the various allegations which in his mind were sufficiently proved to the court.
 Attorney Pullman taking each count individually, contested the evi- dence offered and asserted that the action before the court was not a prosecution but a persecution. He said he was willing that MT. Cham. berlain should be removed if it could be proved Chamberlain wilfully at an, time made any false representations
