LETCHER REPOjtTS
HERRERA LOYAL
U. S. Consul at Chihuahua Denies
Report of Revolt of Carranza
Commander.
REPORT CLEARS UP SITUATION
WASHINGTON, March 24. Amer
ican Consul Letcher at Chihuahua to
day reported there was no truth In
the reported revolt of ueneral Her
rcra and the Carranza garrison at
Chihuahua.
Although General Funston and
General Doll on the border have re
ceived reports confirming the story
of the revolt, which they bellevo to
bo true, the dispatch from Consul
Letcher, who Is on the ground and
has headquarters at the place where
the revolt was sa.d to have occurred,
is taken by officials here at confirm
ing the statements of Carrania offi
cials that no such revolt has occurred
Consul Letcher's dispatch reported
that General Iierrera was In com
mand of the de facto troops there
and was "loyal to General Carranza,"
His report Is regarding as remov
ing one of the most menacing fea
tures of the Mexican situation.
llererra Also Denies It.
Major General Funston nt this tele
gram to the War department:
"General Iierrera in a telegram to Gen
eral Oavlra strongly denies all reports
that he ha rone over to Villa. General
Outlerres, governor of Chihuahua. In a
letter to General Oavlra, also strongly
denies that General Jlerrera has gone
over to Villa."
Stat department dispatches from Pu
rango, San Luis f'otosl, Nogales and
other points reported quiet. Americans
were leaving the Durango region, but
there was no anti-American outbreak.
William Not' Ileaalnr (ornil.
American Oonaular Agent Williams at
Torreon, who left his post, was ordered
out by the American Rubber company,
which employed him. He Is not in the
regular consular service.
Th Navy department has no reports
from Tamploo despite efforts to reach the
battleship Kentucky by radio. The gun
boat Machlas at Tamploo also failed to
respond. Radio officers thought atmos
pheric conditions along the Oulf coast
probably prevented communication last
night.
Ilorder agents have been instructed to
watch ammunition shipments Into Mexico
with care.
At the State department It was said
that the orders meant that no ammuni
tion would be permitted to reach Car
ranza forces whoso loyslty to the de
facto government was In doubt.
New Railroad Line

Old Otoe Capital
ASHL.AND. Keb., March 4.-Bpclal.)-Ths

village and within fifty yard of Itan'a
council lodge. Here was onoe the chief
city' of the Otoe tribe, with a population
of 1,000 people aad hundreds of dirt

the first missionary to the Nebraska In
dians, and held the f-.rsl Christian serv
ices and conducted the first school for
the Indian children. Hundreds of lodge
circles and low mounds once marked this
Indian village site. Now most of it Is
under the plow and the railroad Is de
stroying part ot what Is left. Prof, Bhel
don states that this village was the cen
ter of Indian life 100 years ago, and that
Lewis and Clark sent their messengers
to It In 1804. Ashland Is the nearest town
on the main line ef the Burlington to

SAYS RICH GIRLS
DELIGHT IN WORK
Miis Helen Bennett, Prominent Chi
cago Vocational Worker, Ad
dresses Club Women.
LU3TCH AT DOWNTOWN HOTEL
A g-rsat appetite for work is growing
among American girls. Daughters of the
rich are looking just as hungrily for
something to do as the girl who needs
the money, according to Miss Helen Ben
nett, manager of th Collegiate Bureau
of Occupations In Chicago. Miss Bennett
spoke to 100 leading club women of the
city at a luncheon at the Hotel Loyal
Friday.
Vocational guidance does not mean
guiding boys and glrli Into certain lines
of work, neither does it mean industrial
education. It means r lacing before them
th opportunities that are open and let
ting them choose wisely. It means
strengthening th relationship between
th school, employer and the home, as
well as th child.
riaatlo Material.
"Vocational work must b kept In a
plastlo condition becaus you are dealing:
Ith plastlo material. Tou can't divide
children Into groups ana set them apart.
Tou must study th Individual. Neither
does it mean finding a Job. W ar not
dealing with occupations, but with in
dividuals."
Mlas Bennett praised th work of th
local bureau, which lor th first two
months averaged ever It per cent In
placement work. This is a better record
than that ef th Chicago bureau when it
was first arranged, rha said.
More children dro? out of school
through indifference, rather than real
need, was the opinion expressed by Miss
lone C. Duffy, who Is Interested in the
local bureau, which seeks to keep chil
dren In school as long as possible. "I am
further surprised at the large number of
college students, some of thera graduates.
who yet have no definite work or voca
tion In mind. They wall until they have
finished school to decide,"' said Miss
Puffy.
"vVoald Aid Pareata.
"The vocational gutd&nc bureau seeks
to aid those parents who have no tech
nical nor scientific knowledge themselves.
even If they did have the time and money
to help their children In making and
choosing a vocation."
Miss Duffy made an appeal for support
of the local bureau.
'We want to be notified by housewives
and employer of part-time work which
will enable boys and girls to continue
longer In school. We want employers to
place calls with us. W want volunteer
assistance from college girls, and ws
want financial aid."
Miss Bennett and Mrs. F. II. Cole, well
known club woman, who had met before
In Illinois, renewed acquaintance at the
luncheon.

leather through the fact that many of
their shoes are imported from Swltser
