SAY REFUGEE KIDNAPED HERE AND KILLED
Dying Smuggler Chief Confesses to Killing Fourteen Customs Guards
MARTINIANO VILLAREAL
"SHOT IN LAREDO DAHLE
BORDER RUNNER 18 YEARS
Routed in Running Fight Friday
Night Near Nuevo Laredo — Three
Captured But Chief Fatally Wounded.
Tells of Career of Crime Before
D^ath Comes.
Ths chief of the oldest and most feared band of smug-
glers on the Texas-Mexican border was killed and part of his
crew captured in a running gun battle on the Mexican side
of the border near Nuevo Laredo Friday night according to
a dispatch to Consul General Enrique D. Ruiz in San An-
tonio. *
Martinado Villareal leader shot in several places just
before he died told Mexican river guards and customs offi-
cers that he had been operating for eighteen years and had
killed fourteen customs guards in that period. Shortly after
telling of his exploits he died lying on the ground where he
was shot down.
In the band that the guards forced into battle were ten
smugglers. They were crossing the river with horses laden
with soap when they were detected by three Mexican cus-
toms guards. In the battle which followed on the banks of
river three of the smugglers were captured in addition
to villareal who was fatally shot. Six of the smugglers es-
caped through the brush into the hills. None of the guards
were .wounded.
Although Villareal and his band have been known to
exist all of these years customs officers on either side have
neve.- been able to catch them.
With the death of Villareal and capture of part of his
band it is believed that their operations will cease. The
battle took place almost across the river from Laredo and the
band was crossing to this side. As they came down the
river’s brink the customs guards surprised them and opened
fire.

Dy tile Associated Pre...
Lausanne Dec. 2.—Th? question of
Turkish capitulations is on the Near
East conference program for discussion
tiMiay. Ismet I’asba and his associates
are preparing to make a hard fight to
sustain the claim that the Kemalist
government has successfully terminated
the special privileges accorded to for
Irs under the Womdantinople regime.
The Nationalists spokesnntn will at-
tempt to prove to the conference that
nil capitulations hare been waived by
the Angora government that Turkey
must na longer be hampered by foreign
routrul of her customs out financial af-
fairs and the necessity no longer exists
for foreign consul courts to administer
lustice to other nationals living in Tur-
key.
The Ottoman debt*was also a topic
Io be called up today.
Gloom hangs heavily over the confer-
•nce mutt oi the time but there is an
iceasional smile. When Bulgrria and
Jreece were presenting rival claims for
he |>ossessiou of Dedeaghatcn Miss
Randoff acting us spokesman for Pre-
uier Stamboulisky of Bulgaria said in
fmeh: M Bulgaria has only two ports

y she can spare us one/’
M. Venizelos interrupted with great
Zrnestness: “God Almighty Himself
heed Greece with water al) around her.
’lease don’t blame me o. that.**
Lord Curzon and other delegates who
jderslood French laughed heartily.
’Vernier Btarnboulisky joined in the

Terre Bonne Quebec. Dec. 2.—Mort
than 1200 of Terre Bonne’s population
of SGCO are homeless as a result of the
fire that swept the town last night and
early today destroying 175 buildings
ami causing damage estimated at $l-
000.000.
Fresh outbreaks of the conflagration
were reported today.
Funned by a high wind the flames
believed to have started in the sash and
door factory of Joseph Limoges spread
with amazing rapidity. When fire ap-
paratus arrived from Montreal. 25 miles
distant a large szetioa of the town
had been destroyed. The firemen quick-
ly established a safety Hr. l and pre-
vented further spread except in the di-
rection of tbe river which district still
was burning today.
Scenes of wild confusion attended the
first alarm. Homeholders rushed from
their burning homes carrying whatever
they could salvage. Women dragged
sleighs along the streets in which were
loaded the few articles renewed. The
Fathers of ths Holy Sacrameut. saving
the blessed sacrament carried it about
the smoke-filled streets while men. wo-
men and children knelt in prayer.
It was spectacular the light being
clearly visible in Montreal. Although
the night was cold the blazing town
became so hot that men went about in
their shirt sleeves.

Prominent Carrancista Think He
Was Kidnaped From His Home on

He Has Been Killed.

former mayor of Mexico City and prominent Carrancista
was kidnaped from his home at 623 Trenton avenue Friday
afternoon spirited into Mexico and met the fate of others of
similar political faith was expressed by his family Saturday

After searching all night relatives became convinced
that Galvan was kidnaped and informed officers who imme-
diately sent out telegraphic instructions to all border points
to watch for him. *
At 5 o’clock Friday afternoon two men called at the
house in a big closed automobile and told Galvan that one of
his friends was waiting downtown to see him on important
business. Galvan went with the men. He has not been seen
since.
Relatives of the missing man at first felt uneasy when
they called at the house and asked for Mr. Galvan. People
living there informed them that he was downtown with a cer-
tain friend; It devolved that the friend in question had been
with one of tlfe relatives all day.
Then the search began. Failing to find any trace of
him relatives concluded that he was kidnaped.

Buried Alive.
New York Dec. 2.—Abraham Becker
taxicab driver was indicted Friday for
the murder of his wife Jennie who.
authorities believe was buried alive in
a quick lime filled grave from which
her body was taken Wednesday.
The official theory that the woman
was buried alive was formed after the
report of Dr. Karl Kennard assistant
medical examiner of Bronx county had
been submit ted to the district attor-
ney. Dr. Kennard said that while she
had been dealt a heavy blow on the
head it was of a nature that would

Mr. Galvan although at one time the
right hand man of Carranza has never
been mixed up in any of the revolu-
tionary plots and has lived a quiet life
in San Antonio for the last two years.
Upon the overthrow by the Obregnn
government he fled to Vera Cruz and
came to Galveston by boat. He then
came on to San Antonio and bought a
ranch out on the Bandera road. With
a large library uf law books out there
be has devoted his time to study. His
wife and only child are visiting in Mex-
ico at tbe present time and do not
know of the kidnaping.
Can Find No Motive.
Since Mrs. Galvan has been in Mex-
ico Mr. Galvan has been staying at (»23
Trenton avenue. Arrangements made
by Mr. Galvan prior to bis disappear-
ance proves that be had not intended
to leave. He had brought some of his
law books into the city and some of
bis chickens and had paid his rent the
same day for one month in advance.
At that time that tbe men called he
was writing a letter to bis wife in Mex-
ico which was found unfinished by
relatives.
Other than the car which called for
him was a large closed car there is no
further description. Tbe men likewise
were not noticed by tbe people living in
the house so that they couJd give no ac-
curate description.
Relatives believe that Galvan was
taken in the car chloroformed and
then taken to the border in an all-night
trip and escorted onto Mex icon soil.
What purpose the kidnapers had iu
taking Mr. Galvan however was be-
yond their understanding.
Search All Night.
No trace of the car has been found
at border points and it is believed that
either tbe car reached tbe river before
daylight or has atopped in some unin^
habited spot betw’een San Antonio and
border where the kidnapers are await-
ing an opportunity to spiirt the captiva
into Mexico.
A brother of Mr. Galvan called at
tbe house on Trenton avenue in person
at 10 o’clock Friday night and stayed
at the house for a while thinking that
Mr. Galvan would show up. He left Ht
11 o’clock but came back at 2 o’clock.
As Mr. Galvan has never stayed out
that late the brother become alarmed
and started the search.
At 6 o’clock Saturday morning he
sought the aid of officers who imme-
diately threw out a drag net along the
border. Up to the present no clew hat
been uncovered by which the kidnaping
may be traced. Juick nf motive ia
what puzzles both relatives and officers.
