AS TROOPS FOUGHT
Sanguinary Clash Followed Dis
covery Of carranza Soldiers
Among Rebel Forces
ENTRANCE GAINED BY RUSE

Mexico City. April 12.-General
Emiliano Iapata. the rebel leader of
southern Mexico. news of whose death
reached this c+y yesterday, was killed
Thursday morning during an engage
mcnt between his troops and govern
ment soldiers who had by a ruse entered
his camp at Hacienda Chinemeca. near
the village of Petlalcingo. Morelos.
The government soldiers. under the
command of General Pablo. Gonzales.
planned to capture the rebel chief and
pretended they were part of the
Fortieth Regiment. which had come to
join Zapata's forces. When Zapata
was asked to review the men he became
suspicious and took with him large
number of rebel troops. This prevented
the carrying out Of the plan and re-
suited in general fight. Iapata fell
with many Of his followers. A number
Of government soldiers also lost their
lives.
The government is taking unusual
precautions to establish the fact of the
rebel leaders death. Official photo
graphs have been taken of the body.
which have been viewed by many who
knew Zapata, and depositions have been
required from those taking part in the
battle.
The body will be buried in the
Zapatista tomb at Tlaltizapan. Morelos,
which was erected some years ago to re-
ceive the bodies of all those who signed
the Zapatsta covenant, known as the
.'plan of Alaya." In this tomb are
buried many rebel leaders who havedlied
during the last ten years. including
Eufemio Zapata, brother Of the chief
tain.
Little is known of Zapata's early life
except that he was born about thirty
eight years ago. He began life as a
groom in the employ of Ignacio De La
PORE. nephew of the late President
Porfirio Diaz, who owned one of the
largest estates in Morelos. He became
revolutionist for the purpose of Sc
curing reforms in the laws pertaining
to landed estates which would favor the
poems. but later his fight against the
government degenerated into an indis-
4.criminate slaughter of every one except
Zapatistas.

Be Careful in Using
Soap on Your Hair

Most soaps and prepared sham
pooS contain too much alkali, which
is very injurious, as it dries the
scalp and makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is Just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil, for it is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap, and beats the most expensive
soaps or anything else all to pieces.
You can get this at any drug store,
and a few ounces will last the whole
family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with wa
ter and rub it in, about teaspoon
full is all that is required. It makes
an abundance Of rich, creamy lather,
cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out
easily. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and is soft, fresh looking,
bright, fluffy, wavy, and easy to
handle. Besides, it loosens and
takes out every particle Of dust,
dirt and dandruff.-Adv.

MAYORS MARKET
PUT UNDER FIRE.
BY THE COUNCIL
Commissioners Bring Up Side
Issues Which Tend to
Delay the Proposed
Project.

Mayor Smith stood Yesterday
like Horatius at the bridge, defend
ing his pet municipal market ordi-
nance against death" and "chloro~
forming" Finally he secured pas
sage of section 7 of the ordinance,
which, in effect, makes a monopoly
of the municipal market by prohibit
ing gardeners from selling their pro-
duce anywhere else than on the mu-
nicipal market to be established at
Fifteenth and Davenport streets.
The vote was only to 3, on this
section.
Then rose Commissioner Zimman
and declared:
II am in favor of a municipal mar
ket, but | would be willing to wager
my salary for 1919, that the market,
if established at Fifteenth and
Davenport streets, will be an abso-
lutte failure as far as relief for the
consumer is concerned. What right
have we to spend $4,000 of the peo-
pies money in putting it there when
we are sure all the circumstances
are against it. Why not try out the
idea at the Auditorium first until we
see whether the people will pa
tronize the market in sufficient num-
bers%
Where is the Money.
"Where do you propose to get this
$4,000, Mr.. Mayor" asked Com
missioner Ure.
I'VE appropriated it in the mis-
cellaneous fund when we formed
the budget" declared the mayor.
mo, we didn't; we merely appro-
priated $780," said Mr.. IRE.
ooh, well, we'll find the money"
said the mayor.
well, I'm opposed to getting up
plans for all kinds of things on that
principle" said Mr.. IRE.
Commissioner Falconer, who was
named in the mayors ordinance to
manage the market, declined the
honor.
81 am willing to take the hot end
of this if there is one, declared
Mayor Smith as he offered a reso-
luton putting the market under
management of his department.
Il certainly don't want it," said
Mr.. Falconer. And all the commits
sioners voted joyously and enthusi-
astically AYE" on the amendment
to put it under the mayors man
agement.
Then came Commissioner Ringer
and attacked the location at Eff
teenth and Davenport streets.
why should we put it there,
where no green groceries have ever
been sold?" he asked.
Because the city owns the land,
replied the mayor.
1.-THE worst possible reason in the
world" declared Commissioner IRE.
Il know man who built 100000
building on a location because he
owned the land and he would have
made three times as much money if
he had sold that land and bought
a better location for his building"
Want Better Location.
Commissioner Ringer moved the
appointment of a committee of the
mayor and two others to report on
better location for the market.
The mayor opposed this, but finally
the mayor and Commissioners Ure
and FOWL were appointed.
Council several days ago ordered
the removal of the building from
the Fifteenth and Davenport site,
