GEN. VILLA DENOUNCES
MEXICAN MERCHANTS
Called Them Thieves for Taking Ad-
vantage of Poor Mexicans, Charg-
ing High Prices for Food.
San Antonio, Tex.—A dramatic
scene was presented when General
Francisco Villa, standing with Gen-
eral Raoul Madero, governor of the
state of Nuevo Leon, on his right, re-
ceived the 175 members of the Mon-
terey Chamber of Commerce recently.
“I am Villa; let the foreigners take
the left side and the Mexicans the
right side of the hall.”
Once the members were separated,
Villa said to the twenty-five Ameri-
can, French, English and German
members: .r"
“I have purposely separated you
from the Mexicans to explain to you
that you are here reaping the benefits
of this country and to tell you that
you are at perfect liberty to stay here
and that every courtesy will be extend-
ed to you, but you must understand
that you must obey the lawrs of this
country while you are here. If you
don’t care to do this I will put a spe-
cial train at your disposal to take you
safely out of the country and every
accommodation will be accorded you.
Furthermore, if any of you wish to
protest, I will give you free use of the
telegraph to wire to your govern-
ments.”
Turning to General Madero he sai^:
‘‘You see that the messages go.”
Addressing the Mexican members,
Villa said:
“You are thieves; you are taking
advantage of the poor people. They
are starving on your account. There
are no reasons for the prices you are
demanding for food, f have investi-
gated and I know you have stores of
food in your cellars and that you are
holding those stores only for those
who can pay exorbitant prices. These
poor are starving while you thieves
are reaping the profits. Don’t think
you Will go home when you leave here.
You will be escorted to the depot and
I will send you to Chihuahua, where
you will be shown what should be
done to thieves who rob the poor.”
As he spoke he pointed to the long,
broad inner balcony of the patio,
where a company of soldiers lined up
at attention, stretched the full length
of the balcony.
Later Villa said he changed his
mind about sending them to Chihua-
hua and upon pledging their lives as
guarantee of payment of the million
pesos he let them go.
PONTOONS TO BE USED
TOJAISE LOST SUBMARINE
Preparations Are Under Way to Bring
to the Surface the Lost Sub-
marine F-4.
Honolulu.—As a result of the navy
department’s authorization Thursday
of $20,000 for the work of raising the
submarine F-4, believed to be water
logged on the ocean bed just outside
the harbor entrance, officials at Hono-
lulu, under the leadership of Lieuten-
ant C. E. Smith, submarine flotilla
commander, have made plans for sal-
cage operations on a big scale.
All efforts to raise by cables an ob-
ject said by officials to be the lost
F-4 having failed, the pontoon method
will now be used. Six hundred ton
scows will be towed to the spot be-
neath which, in forty-five fathoms of
water, the submiTine is believed to be
lying.
After the scows have been weight-
ed with water, chains hooked to the
F-4 will be attached to them. Then
the water will be pumped out of the
scows and their hulls rising they will
lift the bulk below. The laborious pro-
cess will be continued until the sub-
marine is brought to the surface.
Lieutenant Smith says it probably
would be three days before further
attempts to raise the F-4 would be
made. A light line was hooked on
the submarine and will be maintained
as a guide to the sunken craft.
German vesselB, warbound in Hono-
lulu harbor, have volunteered the loan
of all their salvage apparatus.
A huge diving tube, which engineers
have been constructing, has been com-
pleted.
Twenty-one coffins have been de-
livered at the navy dock for the ill-
fated crew of the F-4.
Miss Tanzer Made Mistake.
New York.—Miss Rae Tanzer, the
diminutive young factory forewoman
who sued James W. Osborne for $50,-
000 for breach of promise and who was
herself arrested by United States au-
thorities on a charge of using the
mails in an attempt to defraud, Mon-
day went before United States Dis-
trict Attorney H. Snowden Marshall
and swore that she had made an “hon-
est mistake.”
Tornado in Louisiana.
Gibsland, La.—Numerous barns and
light structures were destroyed and
timber damaged Tuesday by a tor-
nado which passed through a part cf
Bienville parish south of Gibsland.
Mexicans Execute Japanese.
Douglas, Ariz—A. Sasaki, a Jap-
anese produce merchant of Agua
Prieta, who started for Colonia More-
los, Sonora, recently, and disappeared,
is reported to liav< been captured by
Mexican soldiers and executed.

Since Fred had become a sopho-
more, and was therefore a college
“man,” he had given himself patron-
izing airs toward Sister May, who
had been his guide, philosopher and
friend during boyhood. Vexed by his
haughtiness, she was- unmercifully
quizzing him the other evening at
dinner.
“Has our ‘man’ made up his mind,”
she inquired, “as to what profession
he will honor after awhile?”
“Why, yes, little one,” Fred re-
sponded, with his most aggravating
smile. “I have made up my mind to
be a doctor, like grandfather and fa-
ther.”
“You a doctor!” May sniffed scorn-
fully.
“I’d like to know why not—if I get
my diploma?” asked Fred, still annoy-
ingly calm.
“Well, you’ll never be a great sur-
geon like father,” May insisted.
“Again, why not?” Fred smiled,
condescendingly.
“You a surgeon like father!” May
cried vehemently. “Why, you big
softy, you couldn’t even kill a fly!”
Nobody but father caught the sig-
nificance of the remark, and somehow
he did not mention it.

RESINOL CERTAINLY
DOES HEAL ECZEMA!
The governor of a southern state
came to his office with a friend one
morning to find a number of men wait-
ing in the anteroom. Pausing an in-
stant, he told a story that was a de-
cided “chestnut.” When he got inside
the private office the friend said:
“That was a horribly old one you
sprung on those fellows.”
“I know it,” chuckled the governor,
“but did you notice that one that
laughed?.”
“Well, I noticed that three or four
did.”
1 “Those,” said the governor, “are the
fellows who won’t get in to see me.
They are the ones who have favors
to ask.”—Rehoboth Sunday Herald.
In the past twenty years, literally
thousands of 'physicians have written
to tell us how successful the resinol
treatment is for eczema and similar
skin troubles. The first use of resinol
ointment and resinol soap usually
stops the itching and burning, and
they soon clear away all trace of the
eruption. No other treatment for the
skin now before the public can show
such a record of professional-approval.

His Proud Title.
It was a very small pupil who as-
tonished his father, a practitioner of
medicine, by propounding the follow-

!‘Papa, do you know what the great
Napoleon’s nickname was?”
Wishing that his son might have the
pleasure of bestowing this informa-
tion, his father evaded a reply by ask-
ing another question:
“What was it, son?”
His state of mind can be imagined
when the little fellow proudly re-
sponded:
“He was known as the Little Cor-
puscle.”—Youth’s Companion.
