BANDIT VILLA
TURNS OVER ARMY
Scourge of Mexico Quits the Road and
Turns Followers Over to Reyo-
lutionary Leaders.
(By Associated Press. y

Juarez. Francisco Villas days of
banditry and constant menace to all
attempts to- establish stable govern
ment in Mexico and to the relations
between this republic and the United
States are ended, according to reports
reaching here. Leaders Of the new
revolution displayed visible relief at
the announcement that Villa had laid
down his arms and turned his men
over to Gen. Ignacio Enriquez, revolu-
tionary commander of the Chihuahua
district. Villa was one Of Carranza' S
first supporters and later one of his
most troublesome enemies. He also
personally was responsible for Ameri-
can troops crossing the border his
most serious offense against the U. S.
probably being the famous raid on
Columbus, N. NJ, on March 9, 1916,
when II persons were killed and sew
eral buildings burned. 1t was on this
occasion that the 18th Cavalry gave
chase to the bandit leader and killed
100 of his followers. "A few days later
Gen. John j. Pershing and 1000 men
in parallel columns marched 200 miles
into the interior in pursuit Of the Villa
band

MEETS DEATH
UNDER CAR


Thomas Daffney, aged IS years, a
section hand, was ground to death
beneath the wheels of the southbound
Milwaukee, Racine and Kenosha in
terurban when he was struck by the
car while working Just short distance
from the Berryville road crossing,
about four miles north of Kenosha,
at 4:S0 Saturday evening. Both front
and back wheels of the car passed over
the trunk of his body and almost
severed it completely into two parts
The mangled remains were brought to
Kenosha to the Hansen morgue where
they were prepared for burial
Became Confused Easily.
Dafney, according to the story told
by those who saw the accident, was
working with the section gang in level
ling down the road bed He had been
employed by the company but a few
days and when the car approached he
became confused. Tony Wells, the
foreman, called to him and Daffney
instead of stepping out of danger;
went into the path of the car and was
caught beneath the wheels.
The Kenosha police were notified
Immediately of the accident and the
body was brought to this city in the
police ambulance. 1t is said that Mo-
torman Fred Whiteway had the car
under control and stopped it quickly
as possible.
Unidentified for Some Time.
Daffney was not very well known
among the members of the. section crew
and for several hours after the ac-
cident it was impossible to identify
him. He came to Kenosha from Chi
cago several days ago and had secur-
ed work as laborer for the company
Finally through his employment check,
2317, he was identified by the records
of the company. So far as is known,
he has no immediate family, although
he had mentioned some distant rela-
tives in Chicago
No arrangements have yet been made
for the funeral services, as attempts
are being made to locate relatives in
Chicago. Coroner Parker will probably
hold an inquest over the remains this
afternoon although an informal inves-
tigation, it is said has shown that the
accident was unavoidable so far as the
employees of the company are con-
cerned.

LOSES FOOT
UNCERTAIN

A tragedy of childhood, due to lack
of protection of the railroad tracks,
occurred late Saturday afternoon when
somehow or other, no one seems to
know just how, Alva Vieau, three year
old, 1919 Pearl street, was caught un-
der the wheels of train and his left
foot so badly crushed that amputation
was found necessary to save the life
of the little boy. The mother of the
child was employed as waitress at
the cafeteria of the Allen A company
and it was while she was at work that
the little fellow toddled off to play.
He got too near the big train and his
little foot was mangled. He was sob
bing along the track when he was
found by a pedestrian. The police
ambulance was called and the injured
boy taken to the Kenosha hospital and
DR.. H. A. Robinson, surgeon for the
company, was called to attend him.
The left foot Of the child was crushed
to such an extent that it was regarded
as necessary to amputate it just above
the ankle in order to save his life.
"They Won't Cut OFF My Foot?"
"They won't cut off my foot will
they" the little fellow sobbed to the
kindly police officer who held him as
was being taken to the hospital. at
hurts, SO bad but they won't cut it off :"
The police officer saw the crushed and
bleeding foot. He wiped tear from
his eye because he knew that it would
be necessary to amputate the foot.
Little Alva had gone with his mother
to the factory Just before noon. 1t
had been the custom Of the mother to
take the little boy with her and he
played about the factory waiting for
her to complete her work. This time
he went over to the tracks. He was
just such little fellow that possibly
the train men never saw him and the
crushed and bleeding foot was such a
little foot that may be it never
caused the trainmen to suspect any
thing had happened.
Mother Seeks Boy in Vain.
When the mother completed her
work at the factory just after the little
boy had been taken to the hospital, she
went to find him. She called to him,
but got no response and she searched
all about the factory for him. Then
she heard that the police had taken a
little boy to the hospital. She hurried
to the hospital and got there in time
to be present when the little foot was
amputated. She was hysterical with
grief on account of the accident. At
the hospital this afternoon it was said
that the little fellow was bearing up
bravely under his misfortune and that
he would recover.

No Information
for Three Days

Washington.- Mexico City is believ-
ed here to have been virtually cut off
from communication with the outside
world, according to the announcement
at the state department today. No
word has been received from the Am err
lean embassy there since last Thurs
day and no confirmation or denial
could be made of the report that the
Mexican capitol had fallen. There was
also no confirmation Of the rumor that
Carranza had fled from the capitol.
There is a powerful wireless machine
at Mexico City but it is believed that
this has been disabled.

Many More Noses
Found in Kenosha

Uncle Sam hasn't given out the popu-
lation of Kenosha as yet, but there
is a little coterie of men in Kenosha
who know that the city is lot bigger
than it was two years ago. These men
are the cleanup" crew of the Wright
Directory company of Milwaukee and
they are putting the finishing touches
on the enumeration for the new city
directory They can tell you that
Kenosha is going to show great
growth in the two years. ut is not
just here and there in spots about
the city" declared one of them on Fri
day night ut is every part of the
city. Kenosha is growing with the
rapidity Of a weed, if not in the same
manner. The directory will show a
big increase in the number Of names.
Now we are making the last canvas
to make certain that no one has been
missed"

HOLDS COUNTY
MUST PAY ALL
Attorney General Holds
City Man Not Be Tax
ed for Pensions.
LIABILITY TO COUNTY


Kenosha county must be liable for
the payment of all mothers pensions.
The amount paid to residents of the
city who may apply for relief may not
be charged back to the city as tax
levy but the total amount must be
paid out Of the general funds of the
county.
This is the decision of Attorney Gem
eral Blaine received by the county
clerk this morning in response to a re-
quest for an Interpretation of the law.
The decision is forwarded by c. H
Crownhart, revisor of the statutes who
declares in his letter that omissions in
the printed statutes did not make this
point in regard to administration of
mothers pensions clear Under the
holding of Mr.. Crownhart the revised
statutes provide that the entire LA
bility for the payment of mothers pen
sions in al, cities with population of
less than 100000 is laid against the
county and not the cities.
Milwaukee Only City Affected.
The letter of Mr.. Crownhart declares
that the city of Milwaukee is the only
city in Wisconsin which under the new
law may be called to repay to the
county treasurer amounts paid out for
mothers pensions.
The decision of the attorney general
will mean considerable to Kenosha
county. There is now pending before
the county board petition from the
city of Kenosha asking for a refund
Of more than 1000 assessed against
the city for mothers pensions paid
during the year 1919. Under the hold
ing of the state official, this money
will have to be returned to the city.
The local pauper commissioner has
been called in an advisory capacity to
deal with the question of mothers
pensions but the granting of them IS
made, by the law, wholly function Of
the county government.
OF course, under the present system
of taxation the city will pay in excess
Of $3.50 of the tax levied for the moth
ers' pensions but there will not be the
added demand for the amounts paid
out to Kenosha people.
Number of Pensioners Grows.
Under intelligent handling Of the
mothers pensions law by Judge Taylor
and Judge Tully, the amount of money
paid to these dependents of the county
has been growing from year to year
but an examination Of the records
shows that the payment Of these PEN
sions has largely lifted burdens from
the shoulders of the pauper depart
ments of the city and the various
towns. Local officials in charge OF re
lief Of the dependents have given their
unqualified endorsement of the provi-
sions of the law.

Wilson Picks Colby
as His Candidate

Washington cambridge Colby,
secretary of state, is the man Presi-
dent Wilson has picked to carry on the
fight for the league of nations, as dem
ocratic presidential nominee, it was
reported among well-informed demo-
Gratis here today. One report is to the
effect that the president took Colby
into the cabinet with the express pur-
pose of grooming him for the demo-
cratic nomination on the league issue.
McAdoo has been mentioned but his
friends aren't keen about having fa-
ther-in-law Wilson endorse son-in-law
McAdoo. They say McAdoo is winning
now on his own merits and can get
the nomination without White House
help and in spite of White house pre-
ference for somebody else.

Bell told the members of the board
that the county could save an even
twenty-five thousand dollars by build
ing the court house during the fall
and winter months. He declared that
many contractors would be glad to
offer very advantageous figures for
work to be done at this period of the
year on account of the fact that they
wanted to keep organizations together
for the winter months. Bell said that
he had built fourteen large buildings
in Minneapolis this year and that he
had not gone over the estimate in the
completion Of any one of them.
