These same passengers report that
the people of Mazatlan almost un-
animously and anxiously desire oc-
cupation of their city by the advanc-

Conflicting Claims
Come From State
Of Chihuahua

WASHINGTON, April 28.-Although
neither Carranza officials nor Obre-
gon revolutionists here could con-
firm reports of fighting in chihuahua
City, Obregon followers claimed that
the chihuahua state capital had been
captured without bloodshed. All in
d.cations are that Caranza's hold on
the state is slipping.
Obregonistas here claim that the
garrison at Ciudad Juarez is on the
verge of revolt, and the spirit of
mutiny is spreading throughout Car
ranza's entire army.
Insurgents under personal COM
mand of General ObregOn have cap
tured Cuautla, one of the largest
cities in the state of Morelos. The
federal battalion "Supremes Poderes"
(Carranza's own bodyguarD is re-
ported to have revolted while en-
route to the defence of Cuautla. Th'
command headed by Gen. Francisco
Urquizo, and consists of 1000 picked
men.
Official government advices state
that on Monday insurgent forces cap
tured Alvarado, a pert on the gull
coast, south of Vera Cruz.
Passengers arriving at San An
tonic, Texas, declare that they were
on the last train to get through from
Monterrey that the railway was cut
behind them.
No kilograms or mail have been re-
,ceived from Mexico City for two days.
That the Carranza government is
beginning to look with concern upon
movements of insurgents in the states
of Tamaulipas and Nuevo Leon is
evidenced in the action of customs Of
ficials at border ports making large
cash deposits in Texas banks.

last evening by Gustavo G. Herman

him. Wearing a face Of the deepest
gloom, the owner of the stately home
escorted his caller throughout the
place. The visitor was admiring and
enthusiastic, but the host said little
or nothing. When the inspection was
finished and the two had returned to
the library on the first floor, the Wis

The Garland of Delight has

girl whose story bears repeating. She
was the mistress of Dara, who was a
brother of Emperor Aurangzeb, the
last of the four great Moguls. Dara

were both ambitious to sit on the Pea

to have in her veins blood of the Hin

the beauty and chastity of it's women.
SO, when Aurangzeb demanded her,
she said she belonged to Dara and
asked on what grounds he claimed
her. The emperor replied that her
long tresses had bound him as in a
net. That night a messenger brought
package to him, wherein lay coil

the emperor sent back word that it
was the moon-like beauty of her face
that had enthralled him. Then the
girl took knife and slashed her face
until it was hideous to look upon. She
wiped the blood from it with a cloth
and sent it to the emperor, as a sign
that nothing was left of the beauty he
had desired. He never troubled Gul
Saffa again, who soon died of grief for
her lover.

This is not new or unexpected, as
Hornsby has been sold on several pre-

Two or three stories have been print

has very heavy obligations to meet in

is an erroneous impression back of
such stories regarding the financial
backing of the st. Louis club.
