Second Time After Plowing- Way Through Desert. PROGRESS IS UNINTERRUPTED SAN ANTONIO. Tex., March 17. Somewhere south of New Mexico, perhaps twenty miles and possibly a greater distance, General Pershing and the divided force he Is command ing encamped last night. They have had. no encounter with Mexi cans and their progress Into Mexico In search of Francisco Villa and his little army has been uninterrupted, according to the laconic messages re ceived by General Funston. "Merely plowing their way through the desert sand" were the words of General Funston In summarizing the day's developments. The campaign ts being conducted on the assumption that the de facto government's troops will co-operate la the efforts to destroy Villa and his followers, but with the exception of the support given by a portion of the small garrison at Palomas, oppo site Columbus, that Joined General Pershing's column as scouts, mili tary headquarters here was without evidence tonight that active aid would be given, by Carranaa's army. Altitude of ttaTlra. Tha statement of General Gavlra, com- mander at Juarex. that while he had given ordera for co-operation. In accord ance with instructions from hie govern ment, he personally did not endorse such action was the basis for comment by army men. By some of them Gavlra'a attitude was taken as Indicative of many of Carrania'a officer, but those high in authority expressed the hope that disci pline would prevail In all cases over per sonal opinion as It hnd in the case of Qeneral Gavlra. No concerted plan of action between the military men of the two countries has been agreed upon. The Americans are In Mexico relying on the assumption that Carranxa has accepted in good faith the note of the State department promising reciprocal prlvllcgca i.l chasing down bandits and the unofficial report from Mexico that orders had been issued for co-operation. ' Neither General Pershing nor General Funston hove been given any direct promise of support. It was pointed out, however, that co operation need not necessarily mean Joint action, and that possibly the Mexican army men would comslder it the fulfill ment of their part of tha program if they continued Independently their operations against Villa, Callea' Move. General Callea, commanding the Mexi can troops in fionora, !s reported to have placed at strategic points in the eastern part of the state some 6,000 men to pre vent the entry of Villa, and General Luis Gutlerres is supposed to be directing five columns In Chihuahua to prevent the fugitive rebel from making his escape over the trails to the couth or east. A clash between any of the Carranxa troops and tha Americans Is not antici pated by the American army officers, but tha danger that seme small mutinous band might attack a detachment of the American punitive force "has not been ignored. Should such an Incident occur army men here say it could scarcely be due to mistaken Identity, since the uni form, equipment and general appearance of the Americans Is sufficiently unusual In Mexico as to make confusion impossi ble. Funston's attitude towards General Pershing is very similar to that adopted towards him by the War department. To a great extent the details of tha expedi tion have been left to General Pershing and his commanding officer here is not bothering him or expecting from him re ports other than those regarded by Gen eral Pershing as essential. Mar Joint on San day. Secrecy yet is maintained as to the exact disposition of the punitive force, Its com position and future movements. In gen eral. It is admitted the Juncture of col umns now headed south will be made be fore tha end of tha week, perhaps Bun- day when they will be soma fifty miles south of the International boundary line. General Perahlng will maintain his com munication by means of wireless and courier, automobiles and aeroplanes being at. his disposal for tha latter. General Funston arranged today for a direct tel egraph wire from El Paso to Fort Ham Houston In order that there might be as little delay as possible In receiving Gen eral Pershing's reports, and the problem of preventing amateurs Interfering with the transmission of wireless reports was discussed with agents of the police. Tha censorship at the border Is being maintained. Staff Baey with Detalla. General Funston and his staff were busy today carving 0ut the details of tha, plan for strengthening the border patrols and! or naving ready men and supplies should they be required in Mexico. More troops arrived at Columbus and other nointa near tne Mexican border, where they will ' do field in readlnesa to rush forward should their services be needed. Rumors of an unfriendly attitude as-! aumea py Mexicans generally towards Americana In Mexico continued to be re ceived at General Funston's headquarters, but these were not taken with great se riousness, although It was admitted they tended to ahow that unofficially the In terference of Americans In what many of the people of tha country regarded as their own affair was unwelcome.

V. . li-JJ ThedTor Mary Page By Frederick Lewis, Author of "What Happened to Mary" (Copyright 191R. by Mure Publications) SV.NWPSIS. Mary Page, actress, is secured of tha murder of lavld Pollock and la defended by her lover. Philip l.anglnn. Pollock was intoxicated. At Marv'a trial she ad mit she had the revolver. Her maid testifies that Mary threatened Pollock with It prevlouslv. and Mary's leading man Implicates T-anRdon. How Mary dis appeared from the scene of the crime Is a mystery. Brandon tells of a strange hand print he saw on Mary's shoulder. Further evidence shows thst horror of drink pro duces temporary insanity in Mary. The tlerenae is "repressed psvchosla." 'Wit nesses described Mary's flight from her intoxicated father and her father's sui cide. Nurse Walton describes the kid naping of Mary by Pollock, and Amy Barton tells if Mary a strtiKgles to be come an artreaa, of l ollock a pursuit of her and of another occasion when the anieil ef liguor drove Mary insane. (Continued from Testerday.) CHAPTER IX. With a grateful glance at his honor, iAngdon half carried, half led Mary to ward the prison door. Then, as the bail iff came forward to relieve him, he turned sadly hack toward his tsble to try ea.fi In to think of some new witness, or sow method other than by torturing Mary her self upon the witness-stand to prove th truth of the statements of the alienist. Halfway to his seat, however, ha was arrested by a long, low walling scream that echoed through the stone walled cor rldor. Twice It came the horrible scream of a woman In mortal agony or In the throe, of delirium. The Judge halted midway as he waa leaving court stood aa l frosen. and even the prosecutor droppert the papera that he held and stared hor rified, at the door to the prison, which was suddenly flung violently open, re vealing Mary struggling In the grasp of the bailiff. Her face waa livid, her eyes wide, and her hands were clutching J clawing and beating at the stronger ones that held her. Then again she screamed and, wrenching loose, took two or three lurching steps forward, panting like one whose breath la almost spent. With, a hoarse roar of excited horror the spectators sprang to their feet and surged forward; hut lngdon was quicker than they, and In three strldea waa be s'de her, his arms around her, calling her name with poignant agony that filled the courtroom and echoed for days in the nvmoty of those who heard It. It even pierced the mists of delirium In which Mary's tortured soul was sunk, and for a moment she lay quiet, supine In his arms, moaning softly. In the Instant silence which fell over the room, t-o voices In the corridor rose with unexpected shrillness. "I didn't mean no harm!" cried one hotly. "I aaw the Indy was faint like and I thought a bit of liquor would pull her round. That's all, so help me Gawd, and the minute I puts the bottle in front of her It It happened." With sudden harshness his honor, step ping back to the bench, said: "Bring In those men from the hall. And let everyone In the room be seated immediately." Awed by his tone the spectators slunk back, while two of the court officers hur ried into the hall, returning with a pair of sheepish policemen, one of whom was hastily thrusting a bottle of whisky Into his breast pocket. . .. At the sight Langdon gave a cry of triumph.

That, your honor, and gentlemen of the Jury, la surely proof enough ef the truth of the state menta made by Dr. Foster." The Judge, obviously Impressed, frownad down at the policeman, whose flushed and unsteady gait made his condition Impossible to- disguise. "Were you In the corridor when the prisoner waa led from court?" he asked, sternly. "Vesh, your honor." stammered the po llceman. ' "Did you speak to her?" "Tesh shir. I 1 seen she wus faint like, and I says, says I, a nip will do er good. 8o I Jhush offered her a bit, and she ecreams and flics at me like a wll' cat." Aa If to Illustrate Ms words he went toward Mary and gestured aa If again offering her the bottle, and Instantly that nailing cry rang out again, and, strug gling desperately, Mary twisted herself in the grip of the kindly hands that held her. The grasp of one bailiff was In deed too kindly, being no more than a hold upon the thin silk of her blouse, and as she twisted the stuff gave way and tore leaving the whiteness of her shoul der exposed. At the sight the prosecutor suddenly gave a hoarse cry and pointed at It. For there against the pale satiny tlnj. of the skin lay a hideous bruise the ahadow of a man's hand, with livid scars where the nails cut cruelly Into the delicate flesh. (To He Continued Next Monday.) All Off with Villa Now, His Plans and Specifications Taken DOUGLAS. Arts.. March 17,-Genoral P. Ellas Calles, military governor of Sonora, reported officially to General Alvero Obregon, Mexican war minister, today that his command had raptured a prisoner who revealed Villa's plans and where abouta In detail. Copies of this report, General Callea said, were forwarded to General Gavlra by him and to the United States army officers at Columbus. The man was captured at Dos Cabexos and was In the attack on Columbus, Calles said, and added: "He Informs me that Villa after the attack went directly to the Oorralltos ranch, where he murdered seven cowboya because they refused to give him horses. From Corralltos he went to Chocolate, whore he stopped on March 13. From there he went direct to Galeanea." This is the first prisoner known to have been raptured since Villa's raid.
