PLACES PRICE UPON
|. THE HEAD OF BANDIT
GOVERNOR OF CHIHUAHUA is
DETERMINED TO EFFECT CAP
TURE OF VILLA.
Outlaw Chieftain Said to Have Taken
Up CudgeIs Against New Govern
ment, Causing Offer of Fortune
For His Death or Capture.

FL PaSo, TeXas.-A reward of 100,-
900 pesos for the death or capture of
Francisco Villa has been offered by
the government Of the state of Chi
huahua. This announcement was made
here Sunday by Provisional Governor
Tomas Gameros. who added that 1000
troops had just left Chihuahua City
under orders 10 hunt down the bandit
chieftain.
An unconfirmed report that General
Francisco Villa had ordered American
and other foreign owned mining COM
panies in Chuahna to pay him $780,
600 and that he had cut the power line
between Boquillas and Parral, caused
considerable concern in Mexican revo-
lutionary circles here.
The report, if confirmed, it was said,
would indicate Villa had taken up the
cudgels against the new de facto gov
eminent. Previously it was officially
reported Villa and General p. Elias
Gales had failed to agree on terms
looking toward the bandits elimination
from Mexican affairs.
A military campaign against Villa
is an immediate prospect, it was said
by revolutionary agents. Villa, they
said, can be captured because of his
present inability to recruit a large
force, or if successful in recruiting, to
equip and supply troops.
Revolutionists in Chihuahua of late
years have practically cleaned the
state of its cattle Previously it was
an easy matter to feed a large body OF
men, but now, it was said, it is an i'm
possibility unless the force has 1
source of supply outside the state.

ACCEPTS ARMENIAN TASK
President Wilson to Act As Arbitrator
In Boundary Dispute.

Washing ton.-President Wilson has
accepted the invitation of the San
Reno conference that he fix the boun-
daries of Armenia, it is officially an
nounced by the state department.
The invitation of the allies made it
clear to the president that their sug-
gestion was entirely irrespective of
any duty under the league of nations,
and it is claimed in official circles
that his acceptance is not open to any
valid objection.
1t is not the understanding here,
however, that the president is acting
as umpire or arbitrator" These
are terms that imply that the parties
in interest have appealed to him to
act for them and that the decision
| should be final. The president, it is
stated, is simply to give the allies his
ideas in fixed form as to what the
boundaries of Armenia should be, and
it will be for them to accept, reject
or modify them. The president is
| known to have made a special study
of the Armenian question.

pistol battle here late Wednesday be-
tween the police and citizens on one
side and private detectives on the

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. Amos
instantly Felts himself was killed, thu
police say, by "Sid" Hadfield, chief o
police of Matewan. Immediately tn,
shooting became general, numbers o
| persons joining in the fray.
The crowd closed in about the de
tectives, who, the police say, turne,
and ran. Some of them broke for tn
open country, while others. reaching
the Tug river, attempted to swim t
safety. Here it is reported, three o
them were shot and sank in tn
| stream.
Several weeks ago it became know
that efforts were being made to union
ize the mines. and two of them wer
closed. Later the miners declare
some of their members were di:
missed, and private detectives wer
sent here to dispossess those VIII
lived in company houses. Feeling ha
been running high.

PROFITS IN FLOUR ARE IMMENSE
Investigators Declare MiIlers and Job
bers Mulcted Customers.

Washington.-An analysis of al
legged profiteering in flour, filed with
the United States railroad labor board
by w. Jet Lauck. consulting econo-
mist of the railroad brotherhoods,
states that wartime profits absorbed
one-third of the price paid by the
consumer for barrel of flour, and
that 60 per cent of this huge margin
was chargeable to profteering.
THE actual cost of producing a
barrel of flour in 1917, including in
terest, freight and other expenses of
the miller, was only $780," says the
report For this the consumer was
forced to pay at least $14.50. Had the
miller, jobber, wholesaler and retailer
been content with reasonable margins
this flour might have been available
to the purchaser at S11.57."
