mechanism of a machine lathe, Ber-
nadine Quinn. aged S, daughter OF
p. f. Quinn, 23c Madison avenue. was
painfully injured in the Central high
school machine shop shortly after
o'clock Monday night. Quick action by
Ted Cooley, 16, the student in charge
of the lathe. averted probably serious
injury.
Mrs Quinn stated Tuesday evening
that she had taken the little girl with
her to view the manual arts exhibit
at the high school Monday night. The
childs hair caught in the machinery and
part of the scalp was torn away at
the back of her head. DIR. F. A. Mic
oletti the nearest physician. was sum-
moned and administered first aid. The
child was taken homo in an automobile.
The injury is not serious, states, DR..
Nicoletti.
C. F.. Haaff, instructor in the machine
shop department, says that the child
was clinging to the hand of her mother.
A large crowd OF visitors pressed for
ward to see the working of the lathe.
and the child was forced against the
machine. he stated, her long hair being
taken up by the betting. Young Cooley
noticed 1t at once. and stopped the
lathe. Instinctivcly, also noticing, tho
mother pulled the child away from the
danger. 1t is said. Curls and part OF
the scalp were left cntangled in tho
machine.
The high school authorities express
extreme regret that the accident hap
pencd.

THE PUEBLO CHIEFTAIN
HUGHES REPLIES
TO ENGLAND ON
OIL QUESTION

Washington, D. c.. April 1s.-sec-
Rotary Hughes has informed Great
Britain that if the American consul
at San Jose used influence to have
the new government in Costa Rica
annul concessions covering potential
oil lands obtained from the old Tinoco
regime by company in which British
capital was interested he did SO with
out authority from the state depart
ment.
At the same time however the sec
retary of state is understood to have
said that the United States had never
recognized any of the acts of the
Tinoco administration and that even
II the consul did use his influence
as has been intimated in the British
house of commons the American
government could not understand any
such action would furnish necessarily
an occasion for criticism by the Brit
ish government.

AND GET 10000 PESOS

Juarez, Mexico. April 1s.-Upward
of 10000 pesos in gold and silver and
currency was taken from the south
bound Mexican National passenger
train last night at II o'clock by a
hand of twenty-five men under the
leadership of Nicolas Rodriguez,
former Villa lieutenant
The robbery occurred at Corral. a
flag station near Sauz 900 kilometers
south of the border. AS the train
slowed up at the station a number of
bandits filed into the cars and re-
lieved the passengers of their valu-
abies, while another band entered the
express car and. breaking open the
safe, carried off 10000 pesos in gold
and silver currency consigned to Chi
huahua from FL Paso. None of the
passengers was injured. Prior to the
robbery. the bandits had cut the tele-
graph wires north and south of Sauz
and 1t was late tonight before COM
munication was restored. 1t was first
reported that Enrique Creel, former
ambassador to the United States was
aboard the train but this is officially
denied by General j. c. Escobar, dis
trict commander
Pueblo chieftain., 1921-04-20

Albert Terrazas, son Of Former
Governor Luis Terrazas, who was
among the passengers was forced to
leave his berth in the Pullman and
was taken from tho train and held for
some time by the robbers. Later he
was released and permitted to pro-
ceed to Chihuahua
According to General Escobar. the
robbers are people who live in the
mountains. close to the scene of the
holdup. OF the twenty-five only
fifteen were mounted. The general
added the affair could have no pos
sibie connection with any reported
revolutionary outbreak but was mere
ly tho act of a band of men possibly
rendered desperate by lack of EN-.
ployment owing to the shut down OF
the mines in the vicinity.
Troops from Juarez and Chihua-
hua have been sent in pursuit of the
band. General Escobar and General
Eugenio Martinez. zone commander
of Northern Mexico are in Juarez to
be the guests of General Howsed ana

horse show to be held in FL Paso
