whisky schooner Elizabeth Clarke,
who was wounded Monday night dur.
ing an engagement between his yes,
sci and the Virginia patrol boat Com
modore Maury, died in Lancaster
county Jail yesterday. Physicians as
cribed his death to tetanus, agra
waited by uraemic poisoning.
Tetanus' resulted from amputation
of two of the captains fingers, which
were injured in the naval night.
The theory was advanced today that
Captain Bozeman shot himself acct

he was not of this opinion himself.
Captain Bohemian was seized with
commissions. and died in great agony.
The body will be shipped to his
home at Danes Quarter. Nd, where

PARENTS INDORSE
CHILD GARDENING
Cultivation of Back Yard and
Vacant Lots Urged by VIII
son Normal Association.

In an effort to reduce the high cost
OF living, and provide means for ply
steal training for the people of WASH
ington, the Parents League of the
Wilson Normal Community Center
School has started a movement to in
terest residents of the District in
home gardens.
Business men and property owners
in the city will be asked for the use
of vacant lots to be cultivated. Plans
are let but tentative Details will be
completed at a meeting at the Wilson
Normal School next Tuesday at 1880
o'clock.
Miss Susan B. Sipe. head OF sgricul-
tural instruction in the public
schools; John Randall, of the Bureau
of Education, and a representative of
the Department of Agriculture will
be the speakers.
To Interest Parents.
1t is believed that the grown ups"
should be more interested in the ques-
ton. School children will be assisted
to obtain productive, paying gardens.
Arrangements for instructors to
visit the various garden plots are he,
ing made. Civic and business organ
izations will be asked to cooperate
in every way. Carl Vrooman. AS
sistant Secretary OF Agriculture, Is
said to have promised his aid.
The plan adopted in other cities
will be generally followed. Business
men permit the use OF vacant lots
and otherwise assist. 1t Is felt that
backyard gardens do not give proper
scope to the plan. Many persons are
unwilling to raise vegetables in
yards, but would gladly take the OPP
portunity to improve the general APP

To Gather Information.

1t is planned to establish central
bureaus to impart Information on the
subjects OF home gardens. Trained
instructors will be in charge to de-

given.

VILLA ELIMINATED,
STATE DEPT. HEARS
Illness "Gets" Bandit Leader,
According to Report of Amer
lean Official

. Gen. Francisco Villa no longer is
a factor in Mexican matters.
The State Department was advised
today through an American official
source, and likewise from a state
ment OF General Murguia, Carran-
zista, that the former rebel leaders
physical condition has practically
counted him out as a factor.
The American official message said
that Villas forces are scattered, and
that he no longer holds his once pow
erful grip upon northern Mexico.
Millions of dollars have been sent
to the de facto government OF Mex
leo recently by Germans in the
United States, it was learned on high
government authority today.
Some OF these millions were in the
form of personal loans" to Mexico.
Other millions went into the purchase
of smelter plants wherever available
in Carranza's republic.
Governments Warning Ignored.
The money was sent in spite OF
warning by the United States Gov
eminent that such "loans" would not
have the support OF this Government
unless all details of the arrangements
between the loaning parties and Car
rama met with the approval OF the
United States.
This was just one OF countless de
velopments which began coming to
light today following official disclos-
ure by President Wilson and Secre-
tary Lansing of a carefully planned
plot to unite Mexico and japan with
the imperial German government in
a war on the United States.
The United States is ready to make
other equally startling disclosures
lin proper time
More German Intrigue Found.
1t is an established fact, however,
that evidences of established German
propaganda has been found in the
revolutions both in Cuba and Costa
Rica.
Within the last few weeks Presi-
dent Gonzales. of Costa Riea. has con-
ferred with Secretary Lansing and
President Wilson regarding the situa-
ton in his country. now ruled by
de factO head. with Gonzales tenn
pOrarily in exile.
Shortly after Gonzales meeting
with officials here it was pointed out
the State Department announced the
de factO government of Costa Rica
would not be recognized by the United
States.
Immediately afterward the de facto
head of Costa Rica announced boldly
he did not need or care for the sup
port of the United States.
Worried Over Colombia.
Officials here intimate strongly
the de facto head OF that Latin
American republic is probably other
wise cared for.
Evidences of Teuton propaganda
work in other Latin-American coun-
tries also are being Investigated
carefully. In this connection some
concern is felt here over restIessness
that has sprung up in Colombia be-
cause Of the indefinite postponement
OF the Colombian-Ame treaty.
This is believed to have moved Pres
ident Wilson in recently urging &C
ton on the treaty.
Senator Stone, chairman OF the For
ign Relations Committee, will rush
action on the treaty during the extra
Senate session after March 4.
