date future is the country over
which Villa operated in November
1917, when he attacked and cap
tured Ojinaga and threatened Pre-
sidio, Tex. Villa moved down the
Conchos river toward Ojinaga, de-
ployed his force on the plain before
that town and attacked from three
sides. Reinforcements for the fed
eral garrison at Ojinaga arrived
along the same trail that the avia-
tors followed in their attempt to
find their way out.
Will Continue Chase.
As long as the punitive expedition
continues to follow a hot trail, il
will remain in Mexico, unless or
ders to the contrary are received
from the War department, Major
General Joseph T. Dickman, COM
mander of the southern department
announced here today.
General Dickman did not seem
concerned over the protest of the
Mexican government against the
presence of the punitive expedition
saying that it was "the usual fall
protest"
General Dickman explained in de.
tail his position regarding the fail
ure of Capt. Leonard f. Matlack to
pay the entire amount of the ransom
to the bandits. Last night the gen
eral announced that he had modified
his original view of the affair since
hearing Matlack's own story, &C
cording to which Matlack overheard
two of the Mexican bandits discuss
ing q plan to ambush and kill both
Matlack and 1t. Paul H. Davis, the
captive aviator, after the last ran
som payment had been made.
This fact, General Dickn1an stat
ed, has put an entirely different
light on the matter.
my position was that the prom
Use Of the great government should
be kept at all costs" said the gen
eral today. II do not think that
Captain Matlack fully realized this
fact, since he told me that he did
not know the payment of the ransom
was authorized by the government,
but thought it was raised by cattle
men.
"He was in some danger of be-
ing cut off with Lieutenant Davis at
the time he made the dash, but he
did 4 very brave thing to go two
miles into Mexico alone at night to
rescue the aviators, and it is ap
preciated."

1--WE have nothing to conceal"
said Mr.. Bingham.
Ernest Meyer, member of the So
called wholesale fruit and vegetable
dealers pool, and N. Levinson,
denying membership in any pool,
yesterday morning endeavored to
explain that their business has for
some time, and is now. on the road
to financial ruin. The morning
session was turned toward a con-
sideration of the wholesalers cost
and selling prices, the former data
being furnished by Harry Schefferle
of Zipfel and Cchefferle. The whole
salers were called upon to disclose
their salessrecords to show the SELL
ing prices.
Ernest Meyer Recalled.
Mr.. Meyer of the pool was
recalled to the stand to testify re-
garding certain specific shipments in
which he was interested. The first
case referred to car 1890 P. E. F.,
pears and plums, which arrived in
Omaha August 7. The Schifferle
records showed that Mr.. Meyer
paid 1857 per crate for his share
of the pears and S2.42 for his share
of the plums. Mr.. Meyers dupli-
cate invoice sales slips showed that
he sold the pears to retailers from
81 to $500 per crate, and the plums
from $275 to $3.50, an average profit
of 10 per cent.
The next item to which Mr.
Meyer testified was shipment of
apricots received in Omaha July rs
in car 2040 G. N. He testified that
he paid $2.45 per crate and sold
them at $2.55 to 81 per crate, which
was loss on each one of the 100
crates he bought The next item
was a car of peaches received Au-
gust IS in car 5000 P. F.. E, and of
which shipment Meyer received 12l
boxes at $l2 per box. His invoice
slips showed that he sold few
crates at the cost price and most
of them at Sis or less, indicating
a loss on the deal.
Says He Lost Money.
II lost $1,000 last month";" Mr..
Meyer testified.

Meyer responded He added that
his annual sales amount to about
100000.
Denies Promoting Pool.
Mr.. Levinson denied that he, the
Peddlers' Union and the Gilinsky
company have been endeavoring to
promote an opposition pool.
Were you ever invited to attend
the friendly little meetings held in
the Trimble company's ofices?"
asked the attorney general.
NO, | can get along without
them" Levinson promptly replied.
Guess you are better off without
them. They all seem to have lost
money" was the rejoinder of the
attorney general.
Levinson added by way of explain
alton that he thought IS per cent
gross was a nice profit for his line
of business, with per cent net He
stated that his house has melted
about $4,000 already this year on
capital investment of $4,000.

In Days Before the Civil War.

If one wants to read about person alities. the lie direct. and abuse sener- ally, let hlm pick up some of the his tories of senate proceedings prior to ihe days of the war between the states. Some of the debates between Sumner of Massachusetts, Mason of Virginia. Butler of South Carolina Tn the old days when read will make people un. derstand how n parliamentary debate has improved in manners with the passing of the years.
 Even after the Civil war when men seemingly had had enough of acrimony there were some highly exciting yer bal encounters on the floor of the sen ate. Men dealt. even as late as the sev- enties. In personalities. sometimes of cruel kind. even taking advantage sometimes of an adversary's physical peeuliarities or mannerisms in order to humiliate him.
 During the debates of the recon struetion period Blaine from the North and Hill from the South went after each other with verbal sledge ham, mers and occasionally the debates waxed so hot that men feared trouble. The nearest approach to anything of serious nature In comparatively re- cent years was when one senator arose and calmly said of another senator who belonged to the same political party. 'The senator from - does not know how to debate with gentlemen"
 The senator to whom this remark WIS addressed was known as q fire eater. However. he knew his own fall ings of temper and to the utter amaze ment of the senate he took the person al rchake with due meekness. saying that he had forgotten hinself when he was talking few minutes before, and that perhaps there was Soup justificn- tion at the moment for N hai was said of him.
