ELL PASO, Tex. Dec. "A sensa'
tional story Of the slaughter of GA
Carranzfsta soldiers of the Rancho
Espejo garrison by 1000 Villistas Is
credited along the border today de-
spite official denials.
Vice Consul Alberto Sandoval. o.
the Mexican consulate in Ell Paso,
after talking with the Juarez tele'
graph office this morning, emphatic
ally expressed his disbelief in the re-
ported massacre.
In addition to DR.. l.. G. Gomez, Of
Los Angeles. another Chihuahua
City arrival here, j. B. Perez, agent
of a New York importing concern,
declared he Witnessed In Santa Ro-
salia heartrending scenes OF mourn
ing on the part of wives and rela-
tives of the murdered Carranzistas.
DR.. Gomez, one of the last fr1ends
Of General Felipe Angeles to be with
the rebel leader before his rexecu'
tion, Thanksgiving morning, declared
the attack on the Carranzista garrf
son was to avenge Angeles death
Perez stated today that Villa. far
from being "down and out" as gem
orally believed along the border, is
credited in northern Mexico with
having 1000 strongly armed follow
ers. Perez heard rumors that Villa
was planning to launch new CAM
paign, OF which the Rancho Espe1o
massacre. north Of Santa Rosaila,
was the beginning.
Although the garrison was wiped
out last Friday, with the exception
of colonel and lieutenant colonel,
no official report Of the occurrence
has reached the Mexican consulate
here, according to Vice Consul San
doval. Gomez attributed this to the
Carranzista censorship. Perez de-
clared he heard the details OF the
massacre from reliable persons IN
both Santa Rosalia and Chihuahua
City. Gomez had the story at third
hand, also.
In Ell Paso the massacre was said
to exceed anything Villa has ever
been charged with. 1t surpassed IN

bodies" Villista outrage perpe.

over two hundred federals were
strung up in patch OF trees near

as dozen each on some trees.

political parties were Matching presi-
dental material here TO-DAY.
Simultaneous state conventions OF
republicans, democrats and non-par-
tisans were expected 70 nominate
majority and minority candidates for
national and state Offices in the first
class of the 1920 elections.
Primaries will be held In March.
Three factions have scrambled the
republican eggs. In vigorous as
sauh late yesterday, senator Miles
Poindexter of Washington, tried to
get on the nest where lIajor General
Wood apparently had been secure.
At the same time friends Of Gov
ernor Frank O. Lowdcn Of Illinois,
were trying to shake the others from
the roost. Still others crowed for
Senator w. S. Kenyon of Iowa, and
Senator Hiram Johnson OF California.
Governor Peter J. Norbeck's forces
looked strongest early today and
there were indications that Norbecks
wishes would be carried out in the
republican convention.
The governor made public his en-
dorsement of Major General Wood
when the Poindexter followers made
noisy counter attack late yester-
day.
Democrats apparently were set
upon a resolution endorsing Presi-
dent Wilson, desuite many indica-
tions that the chief executive has no
immediate intention or becoming a
third term candidate. Democratic
leaders counted upon such move
to strengthen the administrations s
senate fight on the peace treaty. Pos
sibly nominees in the democratic con-
vention, however, were VIM. G. Nc

Why Wade Is Out OF Pocket
There is considerable talk in the
house of representatives Just now
concerning why Herbert A. Wade,
principal of the Haiku school, was
not reimbursed for the money he
spent in twice going to San Francis
co as a witness for the state Of Cal
ifornia in the Mooney trial. There
has been introduced in the house a
bill providing that Wade be paid
s642.35, as representing money he
actually lost through the Journeys
and through his having to absent him
self from his work.
When the finance committee re-
ported this bill out on second read
ing, the question vas raised as to
why Wade had not been reimbursed
from other sources. According to
statements made, Wade even went as
far as the governor of the State OF
California in an effort TO secure a
reimbursement, but failed. Today
the measure was re-referred to the
finance committee, which will go fur
Their into the matter before making
another report or the bill. The meas
ure was introduced by Representa-
tive Tavares.
Citizenship Bill Tabled
The bill providing an appropriation
of $4,000 for the establishment of
citizenship classes in the public

this matter could be taken care OF.

LONDON POLICE ORDERED
TO TURN IN ALL ARMS

LONDON, February lobby Asso-
ciated Press)-The last vestige of
military equipment was taken from
the London police today when an or
der was issued by the Commissioner
Of the Metropolitan force for the re-
turn to the stores of all swords and
scabbards.
In the old days superintendent, in
sp%ectors and all mounted men carried
swords and were instructed in cutlass
drill. The weapons were occasionally
used in the suppression Of riots.
Years ago the inspectors were de-
prived of their swords, which they
hung in the police stations. The or
der withdrawing the swords will not
lead to the withdrawal Of automatic
pistols, a supply of which is kept In
every police station for use in cases
of emergency. In ordinary times the

armed with no more effective weapon
than the law and the impressive dig
nifty of his six foot personality.

Rising and swiftly running,

Oh, the great throbbing heart OF the

And must now be satisfied!
For one from the Gods has come,
With their fire in his bosom burn

To lead mankind from the shadows
And mists to the open sea
AS the lightnings are his glances,
His words, the thunder crashing,
Echoing in our hearts,
And will echo when they're still!

Will hail him as their saviour:

Awake and hear and heed it,
Or perish by opposing

In their struggles to be free;
With consciousness unfolding
They behold the pathway shining:
