GIRL 8 MURDER
RECALLS KILLING
OF MISS COLBERT
Body of Mona Simon, Member
of Prominent Grafton, W,
Va, Family Is Found in
Columbus Hotel.
tsr MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED w;Wsl

Columbus, o., Jan. IA girl mur-
der mystery, the circumstances sur
rounding which compare in many re-
spects with the case of Maizle Colbert,
Philadelphia model, puzzled the local
police tonight.
Mona Simon, aged 25, said to be a
member of a prominent family at
Grafton, w. Va, is the vicum. Her
body was foInd in room of the lead
ing hotel of Columbus today.
The police are looking for a man

Gently in a brokerage office in Kan
sas City as the alleged murderer. Thus
far the police have been unable to
learn the motive for the crime.
A maid opened the door to the room
early today, but did not enter when
she saw a body on the floor, explain
ing later that she thought the person
on the floor was stepping there.
When the housekeeper investigated
this afternoon, she found the girls
body, a cash in her neck and a bullet
wound in the back of her head. Tow
els found in the bath were marked
with blood, indicating that the muir
derer had cleaned his hands before
leaving.
The rooms of the hotel are sound
proof and not even the occupant Of
the adjoining suite heard tho shot.

had registered as &c. w. Van Brunt of

greater variety of opinion among its
members than in the senate. On such
a subject as prohibition it is much
easier to get up a confusion of ideas
among forty-nine men than among
twenty-four. 1t is a simple matter of
arithmetic.
For there is all sorts of room for
honest difference of opinion on the
subject of prohibition, the form it
shall take and the limit that shall be
set to its operation 1t is not improe-
able that Saint Paul had reference to
this question when he said that there
are many men of many minds.
Will 1t Garry?
1t has been taken for granted in
many quarters that with the passage
by the legislature of some such meas
ure as the Mcdonald resolution, the
matter would be settled--that the
state will vote dry as matter of
course. But will it?
No state in the union has shown
more conservative tendencies-has
been slower to make radical changes
than New Mexico. It's people are
broad in their views and hold with
sort of sentimental affection to the
manners and customs of the free-and-
easy days when the west was really
wild and woolly. The theory that it
is the inalienable right of every Amer
lean citizen to go to blaZes in his own
particular wSy and without interfer-
ence from any source whatever still
has many adherents in the Sunshine
state.
On the other hand, the tide of i'm
migration is pouring into the state in
a steady stream, and has been doing
so for several years past. Look at the
last election returns, if you doubt this
statement. This immigration has been
almost entirely from prohibition COM
munities and the newcomers have
brought with them the ideas and Gus
toms of their former homes. The new
vote in New Mexico is overwhelming
ly dry.
1t is inconceivable that the present
legislature will fail to submit to a vote
of the people some sort of prohibition
amendment to the state constitution.
Failure to do so would mean political
suicide for the men responsible for
that result There will be hot fight
mostly behind closed doors, but it is
highly probable that the Mcdonald
will pass without material
But that will not be the end Of the
fight. 1t will be only the beginning.

AUSTRIA FIGHTS
ONLY To DEFEND
HER INTERESTS
Foreign Minister Says War
Was Begun to Punish
Serbia, and Continuation Is
Wholly on Allies.
~ MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED wIREI


London, Jan. 12.-Count CZernin
Won Chudenitz, the Austro-Hungarian
foreign minister, has addressed to the
diplomatic representatives of the Unit
ed States and other neutrals and of
the holy see a note defining the Aus
Hungarian governments views of
the situation created by the entente's
reply to the peace proposals of the
central powers, according to a Vienna
dispatch under Thursdays date, trans
mitted by Reuters Amsterdam corre-
spondent.
Blames Serbia for War.
The note Is quoted as follows:
"In the years preceding the Austro-
Hungarian ultimatum to Serbia the
monarchy displayed sufficient proof of
it's forbearance toward the ever-in-
creasing hostility, aggressive inten-
tions, and intrigues of Serbia until the
moment when finally the notorious
murders at Sarajevo made further in
diligence impossible"
Ends Are Achieved.
THE question as to on which side
the military situation is the stronger
appears idle and may confidently be
left to the Judgment of the world. The
four allied powers now look on their
purely defensive war aims as attained.
while their enemies travel further
from the realization of their plans
For the enemy to characterize our
peace proposals, as meaningless before
peace negotiations were begun and so
long as. therefore, our peace condi-
tions are unknown, is merely to make
an arbitrary assertion. We declared
ourselves ready to end the war by a
verbal exchange of views with the
enemy governments and it depends
solely on our enemies decision wheth-
er peace were brought about or not.
Before God and mankind we re-
pudiate responsibility for continuance
of the war"

Washington, Jan. 12.--Count Bern

informed the STATE department in a
note that he had relieved from duty
Franz Bopp and E. III. Won Setback,
respectively consul general and vice
consul at San Francisco, recently con-
victed of violating the neutrality of the
United States by conspiring to destroy
munitions consigned to the entente
allies.
Dr. Erich Zoepffel, German consul
general at Seattle, the state depart

to San Francisco to take the place of
Bopp temporarily.
Bopp and Won Setback are relieved
pending appeal from the verdict re-
turned by the United States district
court at San Francisco. The German
embassy acted in the case entirely
upon its own initiative, the state de-
partment having indicated that no ac-
tion toward cancelling the exequatur
of the consul general would be taken
until the appeal had Been acted upon.

VILLA COMPLETELY
ROUTED AT JINIENE,Z

Ell Paso, Tex, Jan. 12.-Confirma
ton of the complete defeat of the Viii
la forces at Jimenez last Friday, by
Gen. Francisco Murguia's forces and
of the capture of large quantities OF
loot at Terreros, in western Chlhua-
hua, by General Hernandez, was
brought to the border from Chihuahua
City by refugees.
These refugees said the Villa defeat
at Jimenez and Santa Rosalia by Gen.
eral Murguias forces was a complete
rout of the Villa column and followed
a. general engagement between 5000
of the CarranZa forces and 1000 Villa
followers. instead of skirmish, as
claimed by the Villa partisans here.
Two hundred wounded CarranZa
soldiers had been brought to the state
capital, the refugees said, and the
losses on both sides were declared to
be heavy. The arrivals at the border
said the de facto forces occupied the
town of Parral without resistance, as
the Villa forces fled before the first
Carranza troop train arrived. Nine
cannon We're recaptured at Terreros,
they said, together with eight trains
of loot, which had been taken there
by Villa commanders after they had
evacuated Chihuahua City, on Novem-
ber 27. The Villa forces, in command
of Julio Acosta, were defeated at Ter
reros while guarding this cache, and
a large quantity of ammunition. sup
plies, and other military elements
were recovered there.
The Chihuahua refugees said that
although the city is calm, a part of
the civilian population of the town
was apparently alarmed over the pros
poets of another attack by Villa and
that there were 500 people at the
Mexican Central station to take the
train for the border in addition to
the 400 who came on the train.
BY way of protection, a Carranza
force numbering approximately 1000
men is stationed at Santa Ysabel
twenty-five miles, southwest of Chi
huahua City, and another force is
guarding the wagon road at Satevo,
which connects Parral and Chihuahua
City. Reports that large Villa force
is west of Santa Ysabel, in the vicin-
ity of San Andres. have been received
in Chihuahua. These reports could
not be confirmed because of the strict
which has been applied by
General Murguia, the refugees said.
General Murguia accompanies his
forces into the field and takes person.
al command in each engagement He
has made himself very popular with
the soldiers and officers alike because
of his aggressiveness, the refugees
added.
Gen. Francisco Gonzales, former
commander in Juarez, is now garri-
son commander in Chihuahua City
with 1900 men.
