DO NOT BELIEVE VILLA
WILL VENTURE THIS WAY
Mexican Consulate Officials
Point to Many Dangers

Reports that Pancho Villa, with a
force CT his men, has quit Chihuahua
and is going east through Coahuila
and Nuevo Leon into Tamaulipas
with the ultimate intention of joining
Manuel Pelaez in the oil fields, are
not gwen credence by officials of the
Mexican consulate in this city. 1t
was pointed out Saturday that Villa,
not Icing familiar with the Tamauli-
pas people or the topography of the
state. would hardly take chance of
this sort He would find hiding,
should it become necessary, not only
difficult but comparatively impossi-
BILE. and it is quite probable, it was
pointed out, that he would run a very
grave risk in attempting to cross the
state.
Reports Thursday night in Browns
vile were that Villa had entered the
state, but nothing to confirm them
has developed.

in the well, but no one here expected
such a strong flow at this time. Rock

EXECUTIVE SESSION
HELD BY SENATE'S
INQUIRY COMMITTEE


SAN ANTONIO, Texas, Jan. H.
by the senate subcommittee which is
conducting an investigation Of the
Mexican situation here. No informa-
tion of the proceedings is allowed to
become public.
Miss Anita Whatley, whose fingers
and toes bandit threatened to cut
off, Mrs. Allie III. Mccain, whose hus-
band was murdered by another Mexi-
can, Paul Metzetin, whose mother and
sister were made permanent invalids
by brutal treatment by raiders, and
ten other victims of Mexico's revolu-
tions were witnesses Friday before
the senate subcommittee investigat-
ing the Mexican situation. Inquiry
by Chairman Fall developed that a
majority of them had considered re-
paration so improbable they had not
filed with the state department state
ments of their losses. A few of them
had been in Mexico on salaries but
most of them were property owners.
The greater part of the testimony
was of the earlier years of Carranza' s
administration and much of it Of the
period in which Francisco Madero
was fighting for power and during
his rule. The Chinese massacre in
Torreon was described by two busi-
ness men then in Torreon, c. w.
Enders and O. c. Rennard. The force
that slaughtered 323 Chinese was
commanded by Emilio Madero, broth
er of Francisco Madero.
