CARRANzA SLAIN
BY MEXICAN FOES
FUGITIVE CHIEF MEETS DEATH
WHILE ENDEAvoRlNG TO
MAKE HIS ESCAPE.
Fleeing From Rebel Forces Who Had
Overthrow His Government, Presi-
dent Of Mexico and Loyal Com
panions Perish.

Mexico City.--presldent Carranza,
who fled from this city on May and
who took flight into the mountains OF
Puebla following a battle near DIM
conada, was killed at ] o'clock Thurs
day morning at TlaxacalatongO, ac-
cording to official announcement here.
Carranza's companions, the names
of whom are not as yet known, are
declared to have shared his fate. The
attack which resulted in the death OF
the president was led by General
Rodolfo Serrera, 1t Is said.
II Is reported that Carranza had
shaved off hfs beard In the hope that
he might avoid detection, and 1t is
said that the transformation was so
complete that he might walk through
the streets Of the Mexican capital I'M
recognized.
Venustlano Carranza, elected presi-
dent of Mexico, March II, 1917, by
the largest vote ever cast in presi.
dental election In his country, stepped
from political obscurlty to national
and international prominence on the
graves of the hopes of General Vic.
torlano Huerta, the usurper, and his
followers.
simultaneously with General Huer-
ta's coup de-etat and the assasslna-
ton of President Madero, the news
went out to the world that General
Venustiano Carranza, elected governor
of the state of Coahulla In 1911, re-
fused to recognize the usurper and
would resist him by force of arms.
Born of parents In comfortable cir
cumstances In Cuatro Cienagas, state
or Coahuila, December 20, 1866, yenu-
stiano Carranza was educated In the
public schools of his native state and
later studied law at the Mexican capt.
tai. When he was admitted to the bar,
however, affection of the eyes pre-
vented him from practicing, and he re-
turned to his native state to become
rancher. His experiences as a rancher
first, then as judge, senator and
finally governor of Coahuila, made
Carranza familiar with the agrarian
problem, the root of political unrest in
Mexico.
Aided by Francisco villa, and his
followers, Carranza finally became the
leader of Mexican affairs. General
Huerta resigned the provisional presi-
dency July is, 1914, and month later
General Carranza made his triumphal
entry into Mexico City, Huerta having
fled to Spain.
Shortly afterward independent revo-
lutionists, led by zapata, General Pas
cuai Orozco and others. commenced
Dissension between villa and Car
rama, which began ut the Torreon
conference, reached u climax Septem-
Der %, 1914, when villa declared war
on Carranza, General Aware Obre-
gon became Carranza's leading gem
eral.

TWELVE ARE KILLED
IN PISTOL BATTLE
CLASH BETWEEN MINERS AND
PRIVATE DETECTIVES IN
WEST VIRGINIA.
Men Sent to Evict Families OF Miners
Engage In Battle With Citizens,
the Mayor of Town Being
Among the Victims.

Matewan, w. Va.--Twelve men were
killed and three badly injured in
pistol battle here late Wednesday be-
tween the police and citizens on one
side and private detectives on the
other. In the list of dead is included
Mayor Cabell FISHERMAN and num-
Der of lesser prominent citizens.
Conflicting stories as to the cause of
the shooting were told The police de-
clare that party of private detec-
tiyes arrived here from Williamson in
the morning to evict from a mining
company's houses the families of min
ers who had been dismissed from the
company's employ.
Eight families, the police declare,
had been turned out when Mayor
FISHERMAN approached Albert Felts,
The leader of the detectives, and
wanted to know by what authority
their action was taken and by what
authority they had arrested one of
the miners.
While they were talking, according
to the police, Felts shot the mayor,
firing from his coat pocket. Almost
instantly Felts himself was killed, the
police say, by "Sid" Hadfield, chief of
police of Matewan. Immediately the
shooting became general, numbers of
persons joining in the fray.
The crowd closed in about the de-
tectives, who, the police say, turned
and ran. Some of them broke for the
open country, while others, reaching
the Tug river, attempted to swim to
safety. Here, it is reported, three OF
them were shot and sank in the
stream.
Several weeks ago it became known
that efforts were being made to union
lie the mineS and two of them were
closed. Later. the miners declare,
some of their members were dis
missed, and private detectives were
sent here to dispossess those who
lived in company houses. Feeling had
been running high.

MODERN WAREHOUSES
IN NORTHERN STATES
Give Onions as Little Artificial
Heat as Possible.
Provision Should Be Made for Ample
Ventilation to Throw OF Moisture
DRY Cellar Will Give
Satisfactory Results.

In the northern states onion ware
houses should be built with the pur-
pose in mind of keeping the tempera-
ture 1ust above 81 degrees Fab
renheit during severe winter wealth
er with as little artificial heating as
possible. This necessitates walls con-
sisting of a number of thicknesses of
lumber and one to several air spaces,
says the United States department Of
agriculture. Provision is necessary
for ample ventilation. since the bulbs
are continually giving off moisture
which must be removed. This can
be increased materially on clear days
BY opening doors and windows for a
few hours. In very cold weather 1t
is necessary to heat the house during
this process, in order to prevent the
freezing of bulbs. A steam or hot
water heating system or stoves placed
Mt intervals 10 satisfactory. Large
bulbs are stored in Slated bushel boxes
or folding crates, while bottom sets
should be placed two to four inches
deep in shallow crates.
Where a modern warehouse is moi
available a dry cellar which can bt
held at 80 to IS degrees Fahrenhei'
can be used with good results.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
Horses in this country reached their |
maximum in 1918 and since then have |
been gradually decreasing, according |
to data compiled by the bureau Of crop
estimates, United States department of
agriculture. While this statement ap-
plies to the United States as whole,
the information secured by the bureau
relates primarily to the supply OF
horses on farms and ranches, the grad
ual decrease Of which is attributed to
motor vehicles. That the decline of
the horse on farms Is not due merely
to the use of passenger automobiles is
indicated by a survey recently under
taken by approximately $4,000 crop re-
porters representing the bureau in all
sections of the country. They have
reported the names of more than 49,
900 farlncrs who use motor trucks on
their farms. But the extent to which
these trucks displace horses is prob
lematical. In many cases the introduc-
ton of a truck on farm indicates
provision for increased hauling rather
than an actual reduction in the num-
Der of horses used.
Estimated Value Of Horses.
The estimated number of horses on
| farms and ranches January l of this
year was 21,109,OOO, decrease OF
$4,000 head, or II per cent, compared
with a year ago. The total value OF
these animals this year is estimated
at 81, 1892 ,542, 900 as against $2,114.S97.
600 last year. This means an average
value per head for horses of all age!
Of S9439, compared with $98.45 a veal
ago. The average value per head tel
years ago was S1OS.O3. From thes'
figures it is not difficult to understand
why the horse market is regarded a
unsettled and the future equally un
certain. The best demand during tn
past year has been in the South. Will
decreases have occurred on the west
