MEXICO TO EXTEND MANY
 COURTESIES TO SCIENTISTS

MEXICO CITY, July 21-Excur- sion rates, consisting of a round trip ticket for one-way fare, have been established by the National Line for those who wish to visit the northern states Of Mexico on Sep tember 10, to observe the total ec- lipse of the sun. IL is hoped that similar rates will be granted by the railways of the United States.
 In preparation for the thousands of scientists and others who are ex- pected to visit Mexico to view the eclipse the government is planning the establishment of numerous en- campments at advantageous points in San Luis Potosi, Lower California and Sonora. While the phenomenon will be visible in all parts of the republic, these states are believed to offer more advantages for accur- ate observation.
 The news that the worlds most eminent scientists from America, Europe and Asia will attempt to check the accuracy of the Einstein theory of relativity by observations of the suns eclipse from Mexico's mountains has reused the govern ment to exert every effort to facili- tate their work. Their instruments will be allowed to enter the country duty free and the government plans to erect whatever structures may be needed. ~:. :....

OCCUPATION INTERRUPTS SWITZERLAND TOURIST TRAVEL

BASEL, Switzerland. July 21- Swiss tourist traffic has been hard hit by the French occupation along the Rhine, and the consequent up- setting of through travel from Scan dinav.a, Holland, Poland and France which foremerly drained through the Rhine valley.
 Trains still run, but they are slow and irregular as compared with the service which formerly connected Ostend, Paris, Brussels, Rotterdam and Copenhagen with the German watering places along the Rhine and in Switzerland. The public was ac customed to the old route and IS slow to start on other lines which are not affected by the French oc- cupation, but cannot offer the old time de luxe service.

Deserters Suspected

PARRAL, July 21-The body of Francisco Pancho Villa, the Robin Hood of Mexico and unquestionably the most interesting character in the Southern Republic, forming a strange combination of morse sense and fiery impulse, lies in the city hall here. where thousands of per sons have viewed it. Always heavily guarded, as part of his military strategy learned in the hard school of experience. Villa met death yes terday on the outskirts of Parral, near the Guana Juato bridge. Trillo and Rosario, the first a body guard and the second a bystander also met death and one of the Villa guards was wounded.
 The attacking party numbered seven, the bandits unlucky number. General Martinez, commanding a de- tachment of 100 federal soldiers, is reported to have captured three of the attackers late yesterday and is holding them pending further inves- legations.
 Two theories are advanced con corning the death of Villa. One is that a deserter from the Villa guard did the killing and the other is that of revenge. Villa had no enemy so bitter as Francisco Perrera, sole survivor of the Perrera family, prominent in Mexico. One of the members of the family, general of the left wing of the Villa army in 1904, was mysteriously murdered. Another brother also a general, the father and 8 younger brother were executed Easter morning, 1915, af- ter having been led to the Parral graveyard. Francisco PeTera the only member left is now a govern ment official at Gomez palace.

PRESIDENT DOES NOT BELIEVE
 FARMERS NEED EXTRA SESSION

officials of the Harding party reach ed after the virtual conclusion of of their tour of inspection of the Territory, is that Alaska will de- velop gradually. No sensational boom can be expected as a result of the visit of the President and his party.
 Secretary Hoover, it is expected will make his Alaska policy clear in statement to be issued soon and, it is understood, it will be confined largely to the fisheries pro- blem, suggesting probably the crea- ton of additional reservations with view to conveying the supply a. gainst too rapid harvesting.
 Secretary Work is said to favor amplification of the laws governing homesteading, simplifying them in such way as to make possible the more rapid issuance of patents by the Washington government. In oth- CT respects he is said to agree that the Harding administration is not warranted in recommending that Congress authorize large appropria- tions for Alaskan development, but is willing to ask Congress to pro- vide for developments as they may be needed.
 Secretary Wallace already has announced his conviction that agri- cultural development will be slow and that the farmers of the Terri tory yet have many difficulties to overcome before they can get the industry on a plane where success is assured.

BRITISH GOVERNMENT TAKES
 STEPS TO AVERT WAR CRISIS

LONDON, July 21-There ia a feeling of relief here as T result of the dispatch yesterday of a British note seeking American and Allied views on the reparations issue. IL is understood the note suggests the the appointment of an international commission of experts to make a study of Germany's ability to pay, suggests to Germany that in re- turn for a cessation of passive re- sistance to French occupation, Great Brl.ain will request that France per init the recovery of German industry by reducing to a minimum the forces of occupation and the purpose finally, of submitting the entire re- parations problem to a conference of plenipotentiaries who might meet at Brussels.
 The German government, through the London embassy, has been striv- ing 10 have the reparations note convey to the French government Germany's willingness to cease it's passive resistance in Ruhr, subject to certain concessions, these con- sessions to include the with drawal of Franco-Belgian troops of occupation, with the excep- tion of skeleton force, and per mission fsr expelled German officers to return to their posts, restoring lo- cal administrations and all civil ser vice. Another concession demanded is that the French government agree to restore confiscated currency, q demand with which the French gov ernment, it is thouhgt here will not be granted because 1t is not accom- panied by any definite assurance or guarantees that the reparations pay ments will be forthcoming.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, July 21- Poisonous gases will be used in the destruction of Texas rattlesnakes, according to present plans of the predatory animal bureau of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, as- sisted by the chemical warfare ser vice of the Eighth Army Corps Area Major George NJ.

VILLA FORMER BANDIT CHIEFTAN ASSASSLVA TEl
VILLA KILLED IN FIGHT
 ON RANCH BY SECRETARY

CHIHUAHUA CITY, July 21- Francisco Pancho Villa, long active as leader of the rebellion against the Mexican federal government, was killed on his ranch near this city yesterday by Miguel Trillo, his secretary. Trillo is said to have be- come incensed at the former bandit leader and fired at him without warning, shot causing the death of Villa almost immediately.
 The shooting was followed by a general battle between the men who quickly rallied to the support of Trillo, and those loyal to Villa, and more than 100 casualties are said to have resulted, Trillo being among those killed. Villa had about 800 men on the ranch all trained in handling firearms and formerly part of the Villa army in campaigns against the Obregon government prior to the surrender of Villa and signing of the armistice.

CORDOVA, July 21-President Harding, it can be declared posi- lively has no intention of calling Congress in session in advance of the regular December meeting. While the chief executive, himself has made no direct statement, those among his Alaskan party who re- fleet his views, assert that the Pres ident has no idea of needing the demand for an extra session made this week by Senator Brookhart, Republican, of Iowa. The President, they say, feels that there is little or no need for any immediate meeting of the federal legislative body and furthermore that the leaders in Congress, in common with the public generally, are of the opin- ion that the country is benefitting for m the present recess of Con gress.
 As for need for relief legislation for the farmers of the country, those close to the President are un- able to agree with Senator Brook hart in that respect. They point out that the Executive, in his Hutchin- son, Kansas, address last month, presented list of measures insti- tuted by the Government for the benefit of the farmers which, he at that time said should, with the grad ual improvement in business condi- tions, restore the agricultural in- dustry to normal. Any further legis- lation at this time, it is held by some of the Presidents advisers, would do more to hinder that re- storation than to help it.
 The President and Mrs. Harding. with the members of their party, are enroute today from Cordova to Sftka, scheduled to arrive at the latter place at nine o'clock tomor- row morning for an all-day visit before bidding farewell to Alaska. Alaska Will Develop
