VILLAS MAIN FORCE
BEING DRIVEN SOUTH
Bandit Leader Said to Be Preparing
for Another Attack on
Chihuahua City.

CHIHUAHUA CITY, Mex. January A.
Gen. Francisco Murgua is steadily push
ing south, driving the Villa main force
before him. and already has established
his headquarters at Jiminez, according to
an official statement given out at the
military headquarters.
Private reports here say that Gen. Muir
guia sent his trains back to Chihuahua
and that his rear guard is fortifying Santa
Rosalia. Gen. Dieguez is operating
against Villa in the Laguna district 1t
is officially stated here that Torreon,
Lerdo and Gomez Palacio are in the hands
of Carranza troops.
Villa at Santa Rosalia Tuesday.
Ell PASO, Tex, January 4.-Uncon-
firmed reports of skirmishing between a
detachment of Villa scouts and a part of
Gen. Murguia's column near Horcasitas,
thirty miles south of Chihuahua City,
have been given out by the Villa junta.
The Villa scouts were said to have en-
gagged a accommodating party sent out by
Gen. Murguia. Francisco Villa was said
by this same source to have been at San
ia Rosalia Tuesday, and to have driven
the Carranza troops back to Ortiz, be-
tween Santa Rosalia and Chihuahua City.
Government agents said they had in
formation that Villa was preparing to es-
tablish his government at some city in
northern Mexico soon. A number of
Villas former advisers were expected to
arrive al the border to join Villa. A close
watch is being kept for these Villa par
tisans, who are supposed to be on their
way here from New York, Los Angeles
and San Antonio. it was added.
Troops are being sent from Juarez to
h c a an
be obtained for the troop train.
Chinese refugees tell of having been
advised by the German consul, in charge
of the affairs of their government in
Chihuahua. to leave for the border, in
view of what is considered a possibility
of Villas re-entry into that city.
Smuggling Recruits, Is Report.
Assertions that the Villa bands operat-
ing near this part of the border have
been smuggling recruits from the Ameri-
can side are contained in letter re-
ceived by a Villa partisan in Ell Paso
from Rodrigo Quvedo, who. with his
brother, has been ranging the hills near
Villa Ahmuda. The letter also lends
support to the report current here that
another attack on Chihuahua City is
pending and that the Quvedo. Ochoa
and TameZ bandits will try to cut off
the retreat of Gen. Murguia's forces to
the north. The letter, dated December
%, says:
After a number of scares we succeed
ed in passing all the comrades we met
here to Gen. Ochoa, fifty men. besides
the twenty-eight that we ourselves
got across.
"Ochoa received a message ordering
him not to let any train pass as soon
as the attack on Chihuahua City be-
gins. We shall shortly attack that
place. l beg you to be on the lookout,
pending the arrival of the messenger
that / have been expecting.
Miranda sends his regards, as do
Ochoa and the rest of the comrades"

Free Tuition Favored.

Whether the children of army officers
stationed at Fort Myer should be given
free tuition in the public schools of the
District brought forth lively comment.
A decision was given to the board
yesterday by the controller of the
Treasury to the effect that these chill
dren were not entitled to free tuition.
The sentiment apparently was unani-
nous in favor of giving the children of
army officers free tuition. and DR.. Van
Schaick said that If necessary. the
board would go to Congress to obtain
the required legislation.
Mr.. Daniel raised the question that
District. having been in the territory
coded by Virginia for the National
Capital, and that belonging to the gov
eminent now, was truly part of the
District He also called attention to
the fact that officers stationed at Fort
Myer are there for the protection of
the capital.
Permission for the use of school
buildings was granted, including the
following: To Audubon Society, McKin-
10; to the Columbia Heights Athletic
Club, for the Wilson Normal School
gymnasium; to the Washington So
ciety of Fine Arts. the new Central
High School. February 8, and taking
under Amusement requests by the
George Washington University Players.
the Observation-Disclosures Missionary
Union, and for a meet under the
auspices of the South Atlantic Athletic
Union.
Announcement was made that ground
adjoining the Weightman, Addison and
Lovejoy schools had been purchased.
Permission from the Wheatley School
to accept a talking machine from Lans-
burgh & Bro. as the result of con-
test, was granted. Many names were
ordered changed. signifying that sew
eral woman teachers had married and
intended to retain their positions.
A bust of James G. Berret now in the
District building and offered by the
Commissioners for the Berret School
was accepted.
