VILLA SAYS HE WILL KILL

A
WARNING was Issued by Pancho
Villa today that all Spaniards
c&ntured in the Torreon cam

Villa said he had positive proof that
Spaniards in Torreon had taken up
arms against the rebels and that all
these would be shot. Others he said
would be banished from the country.
Spaniard AM Huerta.
In conformity with my conception
of Justice. I wish to notify all foreign
governments that I have positive in-
formation that the Spanish residents
of Torreon have sided with the federal
forces there and that It is my purpose
to execute these Spaniards if we cap-
ture them" said Villa. "I am making
this statement now so that no surprise
will be expressed later and to give
such Spaniards an opportunity to leave
the country before they fall into my
ha-nds. I hope this notice to the
united States and to Spain will be ac-
cepted as a friendly warning-.

The Herald's extra telling of president Wilson's decision to raise the

any more than did Gen. Villa when he
first heard the .news. His eyes .shown
with delight and he walked nefvouslv
up and down the room. Friends
crowded in to congratulate him and
his headquarters was the scene of
much embracing and enthusiasm
Cheers rose from dlffernt barracks
around town as the news reached them.
Only Obstacle Removed.
Villa is not an emotional man. rut
for a time Tuesday morning he a at
transformed. Smiles played about his
face and he talked of what great Im-
petus had been given the "Constitution-
alist" movement. "We could have been

he said. "As it was we had to cap-
ture most of our weapons and cart-
ridges from the federals. But now
thank God. the greatest obstacle to our
success is removed. 1
vTIIito a Great Man."
"Tour president Wilson is a great
man. I don't think the Americans as
a whole realize how strong and good
a character he is. His decision means
freedom for Mexico and the erection
of government like your own. Of
course we would have won anyhow
but the lifting of the embarg will
make things much easier. Thousands
of lives will be saved by that act"
The news was telegraphed to Chi-
huahua by Villa's orders. Venus-
tip no Carranza. at Culiacan. was also
notified of the decision to raise the
bars prohibiting the exportation of
arms and ammunition to Mexico.
For hours Tuesday Mexicans
crowded intc Villa's headquarters to
congratulate him. He was kept so
busy that little business was trans-
acted. "The plans for the campaign
against Torreon will go on just the
same" he said. "It is probable that
they will move faster now that we
will soon be able to get a!' the muni-
tions of war that we need."
Joy Aw K the Rebel.
Joys took command around all the
hotel lobbies and on the sunny sides
of the streets Tuesday at noon when
the extra Heralds appeared announc-
ing the president's intention to re-
move thP embargo on ammunition.
"One rebel sympathizer in the postoffice
lobby let out a whoop that was heard
half a block when he read the news

To Buy Clothes For
Families of Federals
Gen. Pancho Villa gave S1000 Tues-
day to a local charity organization to
purchase clothes ior women and chil-
dren in the Mexican fedral prison camp
at Fort Bliss. It is said that the char-
ity organization which will handle the
money in connection with persons ap-
pointed by Gen. Villa appealed to the
Huerta consul in El Paso for funds to
alleviate the sufferings of the prison-
ers at Fort Bliss but the appeal met
with refusal. o-.'
"Not one cent of money will be used
to help the men" said Gen. Villa Tues-
day morning. "It will all go toward
buying clothes for the women and
children. They are our countrymen
ana we are willing .to nelp them as I
erally admitted to be a big advantage
for Villa and-his rebels and to mean
much for the success of the rebel arms.
The customs officials department of
justice and United States marshals
staff wilt be relieved of much respon.
sibillty and extra work by the list-
ing of this embargo. It will also re-
lieve the Army of much work.
Will Continue Border Patrol.
United States border patrol troops
will remain stationed along the inter-
national line when the embargo on
arms and ammunition is raised by the
president according to Gen. Hugh I
Scott. He says that the troops will
be kept on the border to prevent ma-
rauding parties from crossing and to
prevent any invasions of Mexico by
armed forces. It is probable that the
troops will be removed from the two
international bridges but nowhere
else."

Ulnyton Bill Too Drastic Claim.
Seth Low former mayor of New
York and president of the National
Civic Federation before the house
commerce committee today presented
a tentative dreft of a bill prepared
by himself professer J. "W. Jenks and
other members of a civic federation
committee for an interstate trade
commission.
Mr. Low contended that the Clayton
bill pending would empower a commis-
sion' with too drastic powers of search
of corporations. The federal conven-
tion's bill would define just what in-
formation gathered by the commis-
sion should be made public Limited
publicity was the keynote of his rec-
ommendations. In cases of limited
liability he believed the public was
entitled to know the exact financial
conditions of the corporation but he
did not believe in publishing broad
cast confidential information except
in certain cases.
Any attempt by congress to define
more closely the prohibitions and re-
strictions of the -Sherman law would
serve only to open loop holes for fu-
ture attacks on it in the opinion of
Felix S. Levy of New York who tes-
tified today before the house judic-
iary committee on the administration
trust legislative program. Xevy main-
tained that Sherman law provided am-
pie authority for the restoration of
competition and for the' personal pros-
ecution of officers of companies which

in official circles for some time. Huerta
is known to Have been receiving arms
from Japan but whether they came
from the government is not known.
Some arms ued by Japan in the war
with Russia have been shipped into
Mexico but one story is' that the Jap-
anese government sold them to private
individuals who in turn sold them to
Huerta. Another report credited m
rthe state department k that agents of
Huerta bought the arms direct from!
the Japanese .government.
It has been frequently represented
to the administration during the pro-
gress of the Mexican negotiations that
if the United States would permit free

the "Constitutionalists" would under-

There is every reason to believe that
under the authority of the joint resolu-

the exportation of arms so that they
may not fall into the hands of Irre-

only the military chiefs on both sides
in the Mexican revolt will obtain the
munitions of war though exactly how
that will be done has not yet bean

the arms ' problem and while In the
first instance the belief of the ad-
ministration was that the denial or
arms was a humane act the convic-
tion has grown on the Washington
government that its policy nas not
operated equally toward the warring
factions.
Would Ste iBcessant Straggle.
The administration believes that to
permit the situation to drift along
would be contributing to an Incessant
struggle. It has been urged br m3r
administration supporters that the-removal
of the embargo would in reality
shorten the contest and bring it to a
quick conclusion.
Officials here with intimate knowl-
edge of Mexican campaigns say the
"Constitutionalist" forces have been
handicaped because of the superior ar-
tillery of tho Huerta army. From
European countries the Huerta gov-
ernment is said to have been import-
ing 80 millimeter canno for the de-
fence of the large cities through the
open ports of the Atlantic and Paeifio
still under their control.
The "Constitutionalists" have bea
almost entirely! without heavy artillery.
They even have been put to the straits
of manufacturing guns out of other
machinery. This superior artillery has
enabled the Huerta forces to hold the
large cities of the south against which
Villa with a rebel army estimated at
15000 men now is preparing to move
as the first step in a campaign against
Mexico City.
