Washington.-With the ;; present
condition of mind existing in Eu-
rope, President Coolidge sees little
or nothing to be gained from an
endeavor to hold a world economic
conference. The view of President
Coolidge is that it would be USE
less to even start in motion steps
looking toward an economic con-
ference until there were assuran-
ces that some success would
attend the discussions. Many
questions foremost in conflict in
Europe are recognized by the pres
ident as of an economic nature,
but a number of them are, in his
opinion, SO closely allied with pO-
litical considerations that meet
ing of the Representatives of the
nations of the world would do lit
tie to remove the conflicts.

FORMER CATTLE
 KING OF MEXICO
 PASSES BEYOND
Gen. Luis Ierrazas, Victim oi Villa Persecution, Dies
 at Chihuahua.


 1 FL PASO. Tex, June i6. - Gen Luis Terrazas, heaviest sufferer iron the activities of Rancho Villa durini the years that bandit terrorized north ern Mexico, died last night at hi home in Chihuahua City He wa! almost 94 years of age and hat never recovered entirely from z stroke of paralysis suffered foul years ago.
 Gen. Luis Terrazas. once one oi the greatest cattle kings of Mexico lost almost all his fortune in the Villa revolution and became an exile in the United States in 1913. In 1920, he returned to what was left of his estates near Chihuahua City and recovered possession of most of his holdings in the vicinity of that city. including one of his palatial homes
 At the height of his fortune, Gen eral Terrazas. is said to have owned 5,OOO,0 ,000 to 7,OO0NoO acres of land in Chihuahua and his wealth was esti- mated at $4O,O0O, 900. He owned great herds of cattle.
 Villa Confiscated Estates
 Francisco Villa confiscated all his estates and killed his stock. Gen. eral Terrazas' friends have said that the General prayed to- outliye the former bandit chieftain so that he might follow Villa into the next world and there denounce him for his sins.'
 Terrazas was S4 years old when he was compelled to flee from Mexico with his family. For six years, he lived in Fl Paso, Texas, some of the time at the home of A. B. Fall, then United States Senator and later Sec retary of the Interior. Subsequently, he lived for about year in Los An geles with 23 members of his family. When he returned to Chihuahua in 1920, he undertook with the aid of his two sons Juan and Alberto Ter razas, to rebuild his fortune, restock his ranges and accumulate settlers for his best land
 Meantime, the government had claimed many thousands of acres of the land he formerly owned on the ground that he had lost title to it under the law. That land is subject to confiscation unless it is titled. Much of it was distributed among poor Mexicans who farmed it.
 Son Is Tortured
 General Terrazas' son and name sake, Luis Terrazas, Jr., was thrown into prison by Villa and held there for more than a9 year. He was hanged by the neck until almost dead to force him to reveal the hiding place of the gold reserve of the Banco Minero, the Terrazas bank in Chihuahua. This was found hid den in a hollow metal column in the bank lobby and 800,000 pesos in Mexican gold coins were removed from the column and confiscated by Villa. Luis Chico" as he was known, escaped and reached the bor- der. His health was shattered and he died soon after in Los Angeles.
