CANANEA IS TAKEN, BUT GEN.

BEEN CAPTURED.
HASTENS TOWARD NOGALES
Carranra General's Forces "Fall Mis
erably" in Closing Roads of Escape
to Villa Army Under Rodriguez
An American Killed.
Western 4eviper Union Iew Serflee
Douglas, Ariz. All tho plans of Gen.
Alveto Obrogon, Carranza commander
in chief, to capture in Cananea the
Villa forces of Gen. Jo so Hodtlguez
1 havo failed. The capture of Cananea,
which Obregon now holds, was an em
pty ictory, it Avas intimated iu Car
ranza circles, for Rodriguez, eluding
Obregon, escaped.
The Villa commander, with a largo
force, has been definitely located en
"route to Nogales to reinforce Villa
troops already there. In making his
escape Rodriguez is reported to have
killed an American engineer, who aid
ed in the escape of his army.
While no official expression could
T be obtained in Agua Prleta, It was in
timated in official circles that some
of Obregon's commanders, to whom
was assigned the task of closing all
roads from Cananea, "failed misera
bly," and that because of the failure
Obregon's planB of campaign require
a complete readjustment.
Tho arrival of Rodriguez at Nogales,
it was said, would mean that Instead
of attacking a few hundred Villa
troops there Obregon, taking the of
fensive, would have to light a force
variously estimated at from 3,000 to
7,000, equipped with Villa's heaviest
artillery.
BIG SUBMARINES ARE BEST.
Value of the Large Type Now Under
Consideration.
. Washington, D. C. Abandonment of
the present coast defense submarine
for larger seagoing submarines may
fce recommended by the navy depart
ment as a result of lessons learned

i tlon concerning the size of under-
water craft now in service In Europe.
There are indications, It was said,
that the United States is going bo
hind in submarine development, even
with ono 1,000-ton submersible near
lug completion and two of 1,300 tons
soon to be ordered. Navy officials
liave been particularly Impressed by
the apparent probability tbat a sub
marine of approximately 1,500 tons
and measuring 250 feet in length, has
been engaged in the warfare against
allied merchantmen.

DEFECTIVE BABY DIES
CHICAGO DOCTOR REFUSED TO

Declared That Infant Was Deformed
and Braves Criticism for His Act
Big Problem.
Chicago, Nov. 19. Baby Bollinger Is
dead. Deformed, partly paralyzed
and subnormal of brain, tbo human
mite, whoso life was held in the hand
of Dr. H. J. Halsolden, waB allowed to
slip back peacefully into tho shadowy
mystery whenco ho came.
Fivo days was the span of his life.
Ho came as do all humans, breathed
tho breath of llfo, partook of food,
then slept the unending sleep at tho
German-American hospital.
Yet he left behind him a nation agi
tated by his oxistenco to a degree few
full lives bring to pass.
His going crowded before the eyes
of every living paront the burning
question:
Has a physician the right to judge
whethor a life appearing on earth has,
by reason of deformities and physical
handicaps, a right or no right to be
saved?
Doctor Halsolden says ho could have
saved tho baby by an operation to
completo its digestive system. But
tho partial paralysis, tho current mal
formations, ho declared, wero so great
a bar to happiness or attainment that
he did not feel justified In saving tho
baby from tho death which nature or
dained. Chicago, Nov. 22. A jury of Chica
go physicians decided on Friday that
society has the right to rofuso llfo to
a baby born hopelessly defective. Dr.
Harry J. Halsolden was exonerated
from blamo for permitting tho death
of Baby Bollinger after deciding that
the child, if allowed to live, would be
doomed to a llfo of misery and uso
lessness. EX-SENATOR BURROWS DIES

MUNDAY IS GUILTY
CONVICTED A8 WRECKER OF CHI
CAGO BANK AND ITS SUBSI
DIARIES BY JURY.
GETS FIVE YEARS IN JAIL
Associate of Former 8enator Lorlmer
on Verge of Nervous Collapse as
Vrrdlct Is Rendered Jurors Out
Six HoursTwo Othero Face Trial.
Morris, 111., Nov. 22. Lato Friday
Charles B. Munday was found guilty
of having conspired with former Son
ator William E. Lorlmer and others to
wreck tho La Salle Stroot Trust and
Savings bank and its four Chicago
subsidiaries.
Tho Jury fixed his punishment at
flvo yoars in tho penitentiary, tho
greatest sentence it could Impose
Although tho Jurors wero out for sir
hours, It required only a few moments
for them to fix tho guilt of tho Indicted
banker. Only two ballots was taken.
Thoy were unanimous In tholr belief
tbat Munday, as vlco-prosldont of the
LaSallo Stroot bank, conspired with
William Lorlmer, orstwhllo United
States Bonator, and H. W. Huttlg of
Muscatlno, la., to loot tho bank and
Its allied concerns out of moro than
$3,000,000.
Munday was palo and norvous whon
tho vordlct was being read and gazed
pitiably at Judgo Stough. He refusod
to dlscuBB the case.
Arguments on tho motion tor a now
trial will be deferred for ten days It
was announced. State's Attorney
Hoyne announced that tho trials of
Lorlmer and Huttlg on similar indict
ments will tako place tho first part of
next year.
Under doublo guard and bohtnd
locked doors tho Jurors began their
deliberation shortly after 4 p. m. on
Friday.
The evidenco included bank records
and letters between Munday, William
Lorlmer and H. W. HUtlg. Tho lat
ter two were indicted with tho defend
ant on a chargo of conspiracy to de
fraud depositors and othors out ot
moro than $3,000,000.
Assistant State's Attorney Haydcn
N. Bell closed his plea for conviction
at the noon recess. His address con
tained tho startling charge that not
only had Munday and his follow con
spirators wrocked tho La Sallo Trust
and its subsidiary banks, but also that
$928,000 of tho alleged loot had boon
traced directly Into Munday's pockets
and not a word of explanation had
beon offerod as to Its wheroabouts.
Following tho prosecutor's final
argument, Judgo Samuel O. Stough
read his Instructions to tho Jury.
Tho Instructions wero In Bomo re
spects unfavorable to tho Indicted
banker, whilo In others tbo prosecu
tion waB hit hard. It required near
ly two hours to read thoeo Instruc
tions, which covered every count In
the Indictment.
Tho heaviest blow dealt the defense
was when Judge Stough declared that
tho law provides that tho capital
stock and Burplus ot banks about to
bo organized must bo paid In cash
and not in notes or other securities.
Tho mere falluro of tho banks,
causing enormous losses to deposi
tors and othors, tho court declared,
would bo Insufficient ovldonco upon
which to baso a vordlct of guilty.
