WOOL PRICES TAKE
 SLUMP IN MARKET
[RepubIIean A. ?. Leased Wlrel

BOSTON, May 20-The price of wool siumped today, break of from 10 to 20 per cent occurring at auction sales conducted here under the auspices of the British government. Only seven mills took part in the bidding and but 30 per cent of the wool offered for sale was disposed of. Buyers were agreed that the peak of high prices for wools has passed. According to the Com mercial Bulletin, the drop in prices re- flected cancellations of orders for goods, delays in transportation and de- clines in the Liverpool and London markets for raw wool.
 Manufacturers representatives at the sale told of the return of goods to the mills in many cases, principally wool ems. of cancellations of other orders now in the looms, and of consequent curtailments already under way. Some plants have discontinued overtime work. Others have suspended night operations and a few have reduced work to four or five days a week. IL was stated, however, that a radical curtailment or shutdown of plants was not considered imminent.
 The wools offered today aggregated .569-bales, mostly merinos and other fine grades. Only $500 bales were sold, these chiefly to six mills.

 General Villa branded as a fake" signed article appearing in some news papers in the United States Sunday last, in which the writer told of a trip To Villa camp at Ortiz and purported to quote him at length. At the time the writer said he was visiting Villa the rebel band was camped here, many miles south of Ortiz.
 One special writer visited the gen. eral two or three weeks ago and did obtain authentic information and pho tographs, General Villa said. This writer. besides the correspondent of The Associated Press, were the only newspaper men to venture to General Villas whereabouts since last June, when Villa attacked Juarez, Mexico, and was driven from the border by American soldiers.

Every morning he squats nearly to the ground and rises, repeating the opera tion so times.

 Villa does not drink and he extends prohibition to his men. Search for a bottle of beer by a visitor to his camp today was futile and the visitor was informed every place he visited Villa had issued orders no liquor or beer was to be sold while his men were about The penalty Villa set was hang ing, they said.
 And he always keeps his word" the liquor vendors added. Villa men are not without amusement. Within two days here the general arranged a dance and his men all had partners.
