There are over $50 pieces in the

The FIVE colors are used In the elab-

these, "Todgam." the f1ve-skull mask,

The five skulls surmounting the mask

MONEY
IS LIKELY TO
DELAY ROADS

Commissioners of the Damascus,
Vllonia and Palarm highway improve

awarded to P. J. LewelIing a con-
tract for the earth work, culverts. etc.
on these roads, subject to a sale of
the bonds of the district by June Is,
have virtually given up hope of being
able to consummate the contract on
account of inability to float the bonds
on the present financial market.
For several weeks efforts have been
in progress to secure a satisfactory
offer for the bonds, and investment
brokers and bankers in all the large
centers of the nation have been re-
quested TO make offers for the issues.
The credit situation, however, which
has been gradually growing worse for
months, is at present very acute, and
there is practically no market for Sc
curities of any description. Even the
premier liberty bond issues of the
government, conceded everywhere to
be the highest and soundest type of
investment, have been selling as low
as 81 cents for some of the issues.
Tax-exempt improvement bonds, how
ever, would command a considerably
higher price than the liberty bonds,
but the discount at which they would
have to be sold just now is so great
that the commissioners feel they
should not be sold
No formal action has been taken by
any of the districts, as the option to
consummate the contract with Mr..
Lewelling has some weeks yet to run,
and there is a possibility that finan-
cial conditions may take a sudden
turn for the better, but the general
feeling just now is that the construc-
ton of the highways will again have

REBELS SEND
TWO FORCES

Eagle Pass, Tex, May 21.-Mexican
troops left Piedras Negras today for
mountain fastness in the state of
Chihuahua held by Francisco Villa,
following reported threats that he will
seize wheat fields in the rich agri-
cultural section of that district
Mexican revolutionary troops were
also entrained for Torron to render
aid to the main contingent taking the
field against Villa.

lister under Carranza, who became n
Volved in the German Mexican plot
engineered by German War Minister
Zimmerman, left for Chihuahua City
today to confer with General Gales
regarding possible operations against
Villa. Steps taken today by the rev.
olutlonary de facto government to
meet opposition by Villa were the first
signs that the former bandit leader
may be a menace to the Obregon rev
olution
General Gales, speaking for the de
facto government, issued statement
at Chihuahua City in which he guar
anteed Villa his personal safety and
little else, guarantee which was not
satisfactory to Villa. The bandit |
leader expressed himself as generally
satisfied with conditions in Mexico, |
saying that the attitude of the United
States to the new Obregon govern
ment was the angle of the situation
which commands the most of his in

experts in touch with the situation.
The trend toward lower prices is al
ready being felt in some sections of
the United States, although no preci-
pitate declines in food prices may be
expected. The drop will come slowly,
the experts say.
Flour is down at Minneapolis, and
meat, butter and sugar are lower at
Boston. The state of Connecticut re-
ported generally lower prices on all
foods.

AS PEACE BILL
PASSES HOUSE
(By United Fressl

Washington, May 21.-The house
today passed the Knox peace resolu-
ton, already passed by the senate.
The vote was 288 to 139. 1t was i'm
mediately transmitted to President
Wilson for signature or veto.
1t Is conceded in all quarters that
the resolution will meet the prompt
veto of President Wilson. Indications
are that the Republican majorities in
the senate and house will not. be able
to pass the resolution over the presi-
Dental veto, as the vote in both the
house and senate was much less than
the two-thirds majority required to
pass bill over the presidents veto.
The Knox resolution provides that
the state of war between the United
States and Austria and Germany shall
be terminated, without making provis-
ion for the terms of peace.

of Illinois, was Kissed by members of
the house and spectators, when he

rather accept the judgment of the
senate than the judgment of the "sick

Washington, May 21.-The final
phase of the battle for passage of the
congressional peace resolution, which
would supplant the peace program at
tempted by President Wilson, was
opened in the house of representatives
today when Chairman Porter of the
foreign affairs committee opened de-
bate on the Knox resolution recently
passed by the senate. Chairman Por-
ter opened his debate with a bitter at
tack on President Wilson.
AS proposed by the Republican ma
jority of the house foreign affairs
committee, the Knox resolution would
be passed by the house and then trans
mitted to the president for his sigma
ture or veto. To accomplish this, the
Republican majority must recall the
Porter resolution passed before Sen
ator Knox introduced his resolution in
the senate, and must secure passage
of the Knox resolution. As proposed

the outcome was a setback to Z Rc

All deliveries of corn except May

season. May went to the highest
point since last August. Commits
sion houses were persistent buyers
and there was no important selling
ether than from longs who were
taking profits. The fact that re-
ceipts here totaled only 100 cars
gave additional impetus to demand
based on the announcement by
Federal Wheat Director Barnes

extent of $50,000,008 would soon
begin even though congress did not

Tonight is the night, and Albu-

ing grand opera visitors a royal
welcome. Nothing but good reports
come from the cities where this
talented organization has played
and perhaps right here would be A
good place to reproduce in full a
criticism from the city OF FL Paso
by the dramatic critic of The Her
aid, Claude A. Brown. The article
follows:
The old tragic story of the hope
less love of faithful woman for a
man who ceases to love her, of her
fidelity unto death, which comes
by her own hand when she realizes
her helplessness-this story was
the Inspiration of Puccini's Mad
anne Butterfly, one of the most
charming of operas, presented by
the Italian Grand Opera company
at the Texas Grand last night. The
opera was presented with a we'll
selected cast, with a superb or
chestra. with appropriate costumes,
and last but by no means least,
witlf keenly appreciative audi
ence to enjoy the offering. For
there would be no music If there
were not understanding ears to
hear.
"Beatriz Pizzorni as Cho-Cho-
San won the hearts of her audience
in the singing of 'Un bel di vedre-
mo-Sur la mer calmee' and Sal
cos ebbe cuore" of the second act.
The duet of the flowers with
Euenia Ramirez as Suzuki, her
faithful maid, was one of the best
arias of the opera. Beatriz possesses
a rich, lyric soprano, not the fleXi-
BILE, clear and high-ranged voice OF
Tina Paggi, but richer, fuller ana
dramatic voice that particularly
adapted itself to the opera. She
has youth and dramatic ability, and
surely will be one of the favored
ones IL she continues to develop.

less, y. s. consul, was seen to his
best advantage in his part. He has
musical baritone voice and eX-
cellent stage presence. Luis de
1barguen as X. p. Plnkerton, the
faithless naval lieutenant, has a re-
markable tenor voice that was well
adapted to the part. But perhaps
the most charming of all was the
rhelodious waiting motive that was
played by the orchestra under
Ignacio di Castillo's direction, with
an accompaniment of vamping
voices of the chorus. Part of the
selection was played by strings
izzieati, and the effect was in
tensely harmonious and beautiful.
