Albert Orth of this city was sentenced
this morning in the federal court by
Judge H. A. NJ. Smith to serve an ag-
gregate of eight months in the Flor
snce county Jail and pay fines total
ing $1,000, with costs. for aiding the
notorious Lieut.. Fay and William

peals. At that time he was sentenced
to serve fourteen months and given
fines amounting to $1,000. The court
of appeals held that he should not
have been found guilty of aiding Fay
and Knobloch to escape. but was
guilty of aiding them after they
escaped. The Knobloch sentence of
5000 and two months was affirmed, but

MEXICAN GENERAL TURNS
TO COLONIZING LANDS
Murguia Still Holds Command Of
His Zone, But Seeks Peace
full Pursuits

JUAREZ. Mexico. August 1o.-Gen.
Francisco Murguia. commander of the
north. has forsaken the ways of war
for more peaceful pursuits. While he
has not relinquished his command of
the northeastern military zone. Gen.
Murguia is devoting practically all Of
his time and attention to reconstruc-
tive won}< in northern Mexico.
In addition to the agricultural col
onies he has established at Molinar
and Casas Grandes. Chihuahua. he has
plans for opening large tracts of land
which were confiscated from land
holders during the revolution and COL
onizing on these tracts with Mexicans
from the crowded cities of the south
and with Mexican laborers who have
been forced to go to the United States
to seek employment.
When the constitutional movement
led by Carranza succeeded. the work
of the Madero revolution, which had
been left unfinished, was resumed.
Confiscation DEGREES were issued
against Gen. Luis Terrazas and many
other large landholders in the north.
These lands have been under the con-
tSoi of the government since they
were seized by the confiscation de-
cree issued by Francisco Villa while
he was commander of the north un-
der Carranza. They. are well adapted
to cattle grazing. Irrigation farming
where water is available and In many
places cutting high-grade timber. 1t
is these lands that Gen. Murgufa plans
to colonize. and his experimental col
ony at Moiinar. north of chihuahua
City, is receiving practically all of
his attention at present. He visits
it frequently and assists the colonists.

AMERICAN AIR PROGRAM
DISCOUNTED IN AUSTRIA
"Humbug,' Says Chief Of Aviation,
Who Predicts Flights
Over Atlantic.
By the Associated Press.

BY thc Associated FresS.
AMSTERDAM. August lO.-Fear
| that there will be extensive lombard
ment of German cities by swarms of
American airplanes has moved the
Vienna correspondent of the Berlin
Tageblatt to seek the opinion of the
| chief commander of the Austro-Hun
garian air forces. That official Of
fered the following comfort to Ger
man city dwellers:
THE American idea of construct
ing huge number of standard type
flying machines with standard motors
is absurd. Even if the Americans
succeed In combining the best fea-
lures OF the newest existing type by
two-fold. it would not follow that
such a composite machine would be
most useful in the European war
theater.
In any case, these machines would
soon be overtaken by, newer inven-
tions. Every machine becomes OBJ
solete in two months or less and
ready Tor the scrap heap. Only prac-
ticai experience in meeting the enc
my In the air shows what is the most
suitable machine.
AS for the American threat that
10000 machines are coming over,
every practical airman knows that it
Is humbug. American machines ap-
pear only sporadically on the west
front. and neither the men nor ma
cnines are equal to the Germans.
Tney are certainly not superior"
The commander expressed the firm
oenel that airships would soon. be
perfected to such a degree that they
could keep aloft for three weeks and
would be able to cross the Atlantic
easily.

Orozco. Huerta, Villa and Felix Diaz

At present a well organized Villa

American legal advisers. Behind
closed doors the revolutionists whis-
per plans for aiding Villa in the field,
for buying ammunition and machine
guns and for spreading the Villa prop
aSanda in American papers. These
agents have plenty of money and live
well while on the border. Several
lawyers on the border have grown
wealthy acting as legal advisers to
these juntas. while ammunition deal
ers and uniform supply houses reaped
rich harvest until the embargo
