Eagle Pass. Texas. July 2s.-Fran-
cisco villa, the powerful Mexican
marauder and the one remaining
obstacle to peace in Mexico. is re-
ported to have surrendered to the
Mexican government at Sabinas
Coahuela. This report was received
from authentic sources over Mexi-
can wireless this afternoon.
Reported surrender of Francisco
Villa promises Mexico relief from
the ten-year reign of rspine i'm
posed by the bandit chief whose
name synonymizes with death and
looting from Yucatan to the Rio
Grande.
state Department NotiAed.
Terms of the surrender were be-
ing considered last night at Sabinas
by Villa and Gen. Eugene Martinez,
personal represe ntative of the de la
Hperta regime, according to a mes
sage sent to the State Department
by the American consul at Piedras
Negras. The Snformation came
through the de la Huerta military
commander at Piedras Negras.
Bandit and government troops are
reported to be encamped in force
outside Sabinas awaiting the out
come of the dickering between the
outlaw leader and the emlssary
from Mexico City.
Both Villa and Gen. Martinez
have an escort of 100 soldiers in
Sabinas. Little disorder is reported
in the town and all foreigners are
said to be safe.
u. 8. May Demand Prisoner.
II Villa is pardoned by the de Ia
Huerta regime and permitted to
swear allegiance. the turbulent
Mexican situation will probably be
complicated by the demand of the
United States for his extradition to
answer for the Columbus raid where
seventeen Americans were killed.
Such a demand, IL made, could
hardly be refused by the Mexican
authorities. 1t is suspected. aow-
ever, that Villa may surrender 0nly
upon condition that he shall not lie
turned over to the American au-
thorities. Should the Mexican sov-
ernment accede to his propo Sition
and keep it's word to Villa, it is
thought that the United States may
make the matter its reason for re-
fusing recognition to the new regime
in Mexico City.

CBy Universal serviee.D

President Wilson is expected to
take definite action in the present
coal crisis Immediately after he re-
ceives and studies a report on the
situation now being prepared by
Secretary of Labor Wilson.
The Secretary reached Washing
ton yesterday. and probably will
complete his report today or tomor-
row.
1t is understood that in presenting
his review of the situation to the
President he will make specific rec
concentrations for action to prevent
a famine during the winter.
May Make Appeal.
The Presidents first step after re-
ceiving the report may be TO sd-
dress an appeal to the striking min
ers. particularly in Illinois. to ad-
lust their differences with the oper-
ators in the interest Of the public
welfare. Reports from the Depart
ment of Labor's conciliators work
ing in that district were that they
had not succeeded in getting any OF
the strikers to go back to work. but
only to prevent other workers from
walking out.
The Illinois. strike has spread over
the Indiana line. and there are
minor strikes also in Kansas and
Alabama, according to reports to
the Labor Department.
Gossip persists that the President
may revive the Office OF fuel ad'
ministrator to meet the national
emergency. Reports are current also
that he may order drastic action by
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion to force the railroads to carry
cut in good faith the commission {
recent orders designed to relieve the
car shortage.
Not Being Observed.
Representatives here Of the coal
operators repeatedly have asserted
that IL these orders were rigidly sd'
hered to and the miners stuck tc
their posts. no alarm need be felt
by the public as to famine condi'
tions this winter. but reports re-
ceived here are that the orders are
not being carried out in good faith
The Interstate Commerce Com
mission is expected. possibly at the
Presidents direction, to impose
heavy penalties on those road:
which fail to carry out it's orders.

 'I have to have evidence" Bolt said quietly
 "I can give you motive. Listen. Father expected to prove up yesterday on his Del Gro claim. If he had done so Cass Fendrick's sheep would have been cut off from the water. Father had to be got out of the way not later than Wednesday, or that man would have been put out of business. He was very bitter about it. He had made threats"
 "It would take more than threats to get rid of the best fighting man in Arizona. right in the middle of the day, In the heart of the town, without a soul knowing it."
 "He was trapped somehow. of course" Curly cut in. For he was sure that in no other way could Luck Cullison have been overcome.

 q don't know how, but we'll find out"
 "I hope so."
 Kate felt his doubt. and 1t was like Q spark to powder.
 "You ought to know father couldn't have done this. There Is such thing as character. Luck Cullison simply couldn't be thief"
 Mackenzie's faith had been strength ened by the insistent loyalty of the girl That's right, Nick. Let me tell you something else. Fendrlck knew Luck was going to prove up Thursday. He heard him tell us at the Round Up club Tuesday morning."
 The sheriff summed up. "You've proved Cass had interests that would be helped if Mir. Cullison were re- moved. But you haven't shaken the evidence against Luck"
 We've proved Cass Fendrick had to get father out of the way on the very day he disappeared. One day later would have been too late. We've shown his enmity. Any evidence that rests on his word is no good. The truth isn't in the man."
 Maybe not, but he didn't make this evidence" 70

There was no need of the initials l.. c. to tell her whose if had been. A wave of despair swept over her, Again she was on the verge of breaking down, but controlled her self as with tight curb.
 You say the robber had on his hat, and that somebody shot at him. Who ever it was must know the man wasn't father"
 Gently Bolt took this last prop from her hope. "He is almost sure the man was your father"
 A spark of steel came into her dark eyes. 'Who is the man?"
 His name is Fendrick."
 "Cass Fendrick?" She whipped the word at him, leaning forward in her chair rigidly with her hands clenched on the arms of It. One could have guessed that the sound of the name had unleashed a dormant ferocity in her.
 "Yes. I know he and your father aren't friends. They have had some trouble. For that reason he was very reluctant to give your fathers name"
 The girl famed. Reluctant! Don't you believe it! He hates father like poison." A flash of inspiration came to her. "Cass Fendrick Is the man you ha jc Inc I robbed the express company. and he

"He did-some of it. Somehow he got hold of fathers hat, and he manu- factured story about shooting IL rom the robbers head. But to make ms story stick he must admit he was on the ground at the time of the hoid- up. So he must have known the roD- bery was going to take place"
 Bolts shrewd eyes narrowed to a smile. "You prove to me that Cass had your fathers hat before the hoid- up, and I'll take some stock in the story"
 And in the meantime," suggested Curly.
 ''Tll keep right on looking for Luck Cullison, but I'll keep an eye on Cass Fendrick, toO."
 Kate took up the challenge conf1- dently. "I'll prove he had the hat at least I'll try to pretty hard. It's the truth, and it must come out some how"
 After he had left her at the hotel, Curly walked the streets with a sharp excitement tingling his blood. He had lived his life among men, and he knew little about women and their ways. But his imagination seized wildly upon this slim, dark girl with the fine eyes that could be both ten- der and ferocious, with the look of combined delicacy and strength in every line of her.

 "All right" Mackenzie assented. Tomorrow mo'ning-"
 "No, tonight, Uncle Mac"
 The cattleman looked at her In sur prise. Her voice rang with decision. Her slight figure seemed compact with energy and resolution. Was this the girl who had been in helpless tears not ten minutes before?
 'Tll see if he's at his office. Maybe he'll come up." Curly said.
 "No. I'll go down to the courthouse if he's there."
 At the office of the sheriff Kate cut to essentials as soon as the introduc- tions were over.

 Her plainness embarrassed the off, cer.

Still. she did not doubt him in the least. but there could be no question now that he knew of the in tended shipment, that absent-mindedly he had jotted down this data while he was thinking about 1t in connection with his own debts.
 The sheriff went on tightening the chain of evidence in voice that. for all its kindness, seemed to her re- morseless as fate. Tt turns out that MT.

Every bank in the city refused him a loan. Yet next morning he paid off two thousand dollars he owed from a poker game"
 "He must have borrowed the money from some one," she said weakly.
 "That money he paid in twenty-dol- lar bills. The stolen express package was in twenties. You know yourself that this is a gold country. Bills ain't so plentiful"
 The girls hand went to her heart. Faith in her father was rock not to be washed away by any amount of evidence. What made her vince was the amount of circumstantial testi- mony falling into place so inexorably against him.
 "Is that all? ?" she asked despairingly.
 "I wish it were, Miss Cullison. But it's not. A man came round the corner and shot at the robber as he was es- caping. His hat fell off. Here it is. y

VENTURE OF THE
 FAMOUS "TIN HENRY

Of course you've heard the jingle
 There was an old man
 And he had wooden leg,
 He had no money and he
 Didn't want to beg;
 So he took four spools
 And an old tin can,
 And he called it Ford
 And the damned thing ran.
 That was a scandalous libel of the Detriot Daisy that can do anything but climb tree. Some day it will do that.
 However, wonderful is the Ford its millions of users, admirers and de- famers have confined their remarks about it heretofore almost exclusive ly to the field of mechanics. But the Ford is assuming a new role. It not only is a machine but medi- cine. Some persons have suspected it would cure indigestion, torpidity of the liver and various other trou- bles, but no one supposed it was a specific for the sleeping sickness:
 We live and learn. Here's how this new and important discovery was made: Michael Piemonte, of Ionk- CTS, N. r., went to sleep January 30 and slept so long and so profoundly that his family and the neighbors became alarmed pr. Edward B Jenks and Dr. Buell. Latcher, of tht Yonkers Hospital, were summoned They did everything medical science so far as it had been carried, could suggest, but Piemonte slept on; Day followed day and still he slumbered They said it was one of the most az gravated cases in all their protes sional career ,.
 They determined to remove hin to the city hospital for the mos careful study of the case. On Feb Ill he was put in an ambulance. | was Ford. He was wide awaK' when the car reached the hospital Since then all efforts to get the pa tient into natural sleep have beer fruitless and he has an acute cas- of insomnia.
