BATTLE LASTS SIX HOURS
Queretaro, Mexico, Dec. 2. Gen
eral Francisco Murguia reported to
General Carranza today that he had
routed a band of Villa followers,
numbering 2,500 men, and had pur
sued them about twelve miles toward
Chihuahua City. The general report
ed that he was continuing his ad
vance toward Chihuahua City today.
To Head Off Villa.
Juarez, Mexico, Dec. 2. With
General Murguia's newly arrived col
umn attacking from the south, the
battle is developing at Chihuahua
City, General Gonzales announced at
headquarters here at noon today.
General Ozuna is at Cuilty, a few
miles north of the city, he added, to
cut off any Villa movements in that
section. This led hin to believe, the
general explained, that Villa might
evacuate to the west over the Mexico
Northwestern railway, following the
loot he is reported to have sent out
by train the last few days.
Official reports were given out last
night to the eff'Ct that Villa was
loading trains with loot at the Mex
ico Northwestern railroad station,
preparatory to sending this stolen
property to the mountains of western
Chihuahua.
Villa's Object
Villa was expected to follow these
trains with his troops, Carranza offi
cials here said. The bandit com
mander was not expected to hoM Chi
huahua City when he captured it, it
was said here. The prestige his cap
ture of the city would give him among
his own people together with the
loot, .ammunition, artillery and small
arms were all he desired, according
to officials here.
Rather than remain and defend the
city against Murguia's superior
forces, Villa was expected to leave
for the mountains as he did at Santa
Rosalia, Jimenez and Parral.. This
move; a Carranza officer declared,'
would compel the de facU, forces o
carry the fight to him in the moun
tains, where Villa and his men would
be in their own clement as guerilla
fighters, the officer added. A report
that Villa and his command would
move to Ojinaga, opposite Presidio.
Tex., was received at military head
quarters here , today from unofficial
sources.
Neither Villa nor any of his leaders
are expected to move on Juarez.
El Paso, Tex., Dec. 2. A message
received from General Obregon at
Mexico City late today gave details
of a battle between General Mur
guia's forces and the Villa troops
about thirty miles south of Chihua
hua City. The battle took place yes
terday, starting at 10 o'clock in the
morning and lasting six hours. The
Villa men, the message said, were
defeated.
The message said the bandit force
fled in disorder, some toward Santa
Ysabel and others toward Chihuahua
City. The Carranza troops pursued
them four hours, the message said,
capturing'three machine guns, many
rifles and some horses..
Many prisoners were taken, the
message adding that they were ex
ecuted. The dispatch said Villa's
losses were heavy.
Colonel Candelario Garcia and sev
eral other officers were wounded, the
message stated. The dispatch de
clared Villa had .1,500 men.

authorities have complied tentative
plans for the citizen's training camps,
provision for which was originally
made in the national defense act of
June 3, it is estimated that a total of
about 57.000 will attend. In the east
em department it is proposed to have
four camps during the year at Platts
burg, three at Fort Oglethorpe, three
at Barrances, and a small camp at
Galveston, the coast defenses of which
come under the supervision of the de
partmental commander. It may be
decided to combine the camp there
with the one at Fort Sam Houston, in
which event there would be a total of
three camps in the eastern depart
ment. The largest of all the camps would
be that at Plattsburg, where the ag
gregate attendance is estimated to be
30,000. In the central department it
is proposed to have two camps at Fort
Kiley, two at rort Snellmg, and three
at Fort Sheridan. In the western de
partment two camps will be held in
California, two in the Pacific north
west and two in the Rocky mountain
region, in the southern deoartment it
is proposed to have one camp at Alex

Houston, and one at El" Paso.
The average attendance at these
camps is to be 2,000, an exception
being that at El Paso, where it is ex
pected 4,800 will be under training..
Railroad Expert Is1
Put Upon Grill '
-By Senator Cummins
Washington, Dec. 2. Cross exami
nation of A. P. Thorn, counsel for the
railway executives' advisory commit
tee, continued today before the con
gressional committee investigating
transportation problems, with Senator
Cummins questioning the witness par
ticularly about suggestions for fed
eral incorporation of railroads. Sena
tor Cummins took the view that it
would be necessary "to squeeze the
water" from railroad securities and
make the basis of new capitalization
the physical value of the property be
fore the public would invest.
"That," said "Mr. Thorn, "would
result in the financial ruin of the
world."
""In my opinion," said Senator Cum
mins, "you never will be able to es
tablish these securities until the peo
ple understand they are the practi
cal measures of the values they repre
sent." "1 believe," said Mr. Thorn, "that in
a federal incorporation plan stock
without par value should be issued so
that the relation of interests in the
assets of the old company should be
maintained in the new."
Senator Cummins said he believed
that it was evident that securities
must represent actual property value.
1 think, lie said, that a helpful
but somewhat painful surgical op
eration is necessary, but the sooner
it is done the better for the patient.
If you propose a legalized capitali
zation on the present basis you will
have raised an obstacle that I think
cannot be overcome."

Having Ex-Husband as Roomer is
Very Vexing to Mrs. Edith B. Clute
The joys of running a rooming
and boarding house when one's di
vorced husband, as a member of the
boarding house clan "at $35 per," is
continually "snooping" about, are in
finitesimal, from the viewpoint of
Edith B. Clute, who testified in
Judge Day's court in her supplemen
tal action seeking to modify and
change the divorce decree.
Mrs. Clute wants an order perpetu
ally restraining and enjoining Fred
M. Clute, a machinist, from coming
upon the premises of the boarding
house at 502 North Twentieth street.
She also asks for $35 a month for the
maintenance of a daughter, Verne,
whom the plaintiff complains is a
nervous wreck as a result of the
father's conduct.
The matrimonial difficulties of the
Clutes hark back to 1914. when Mrs.
Clute was granted a divorce decree.

FIGHTIN GIN THE STREETS
London, Dec. 2. After a day of ter
ror in Afhens, in which Venizclists
fought royalists and Greek troops
fired upon entente forces which had
been landed, according to Vice Ad
miral Du Fournet, to maintain order,
a truce was arranged. King Constan
tine finally agreed to surrender the
moutain guns demanded by the allies
and the latter are withdrawing their
troops with the exception of a small
guard.
Disturbances began as soon as the
allied troops were landed. Greek
troops fired on the entente force
which occupied the Zappeion, while
reservists and Venizelists exchanged
shots m the streets. A pitched battle
between the opposing Greek forces oc
curred in Stadium street. The casual
ties have not been ascertained, but it is
known several civilians were killed
The Dutch and Spanish ministers
finally intervened and induced the
king to surrender the guns on condi
tion that the entente withdraw the
troops, except 300 left in the Zeppe
ion. According to information from a
source close to the Greek government
Admiral Du Fournet telephoned to
Premier Lambros, suggesting an armi
tice, which was effected after a con
ference of the premier with the king.
While the conference was in progress
and even after the French minister
had been summoned to take part in it,
guns continued to boom. .Special dis
patches from Athens say the rrencb
bombarded the hill behind the palace.
Casualties in the fighting in the

Philadelphia, Pa., Dec. 2. A man
who made threats against President
Wilson was arrested at a railroad sta
tion here today by the police and sent
to a hospital for observation. He was
found Walking about the station mut
tering and carrying a .dtchen knife.
He said his name was Jonahan Kraus
and that he was 136 years old and
had no home. He wore three coats
and no 'hat.
The police said he is mentally un
balanced and that his condition is
aggravated by drink. He made threats
to kill the president and also men

John D. Rockefeller, the police said.
President Wilson, on his way to

Russians Secure a
Footing In Kirlibaba
London. Dec. 2. A Reuter disnatch
from Petrograd says the Russians
have gained a footing in the town of
Kirlibaba and that desperate street
fighting is in progress.
German trooos occunvinir thp
houses are defending them to the last
extremity, the dispatch says, and re
serves are being concentrated in the
western part of the town for a counter
attack.

"jinx," in the form of her former
husband, appeared upon the scene.
Mrs. Clute said that she felt sorry
for him when he asked to be taken
into the house merely as a boarder
and roomer, and consented, more
for her daughter's sake than any
thing. On November 5, as the culmination
of several alleged spats, Mrs. Clute
brought an injunction suit in district
court seeking to restrain him from
continuing as the "star boarder."
Clute maintained that he was a
partner in the boarding house, helped
to pay the bills, etc., -and therefore
should be entitled to a cut of the
profits, providing there were any.
His former spouse stoutly denied that
he had any interest in the boarding
house, save as a roomer.
"Did Mr. Clute ever collect the
rents from any of the roomers?" an
attorney interrogated.
"li-he did it .as the lasTanyone
ever saw of tire rents," blazed up
Mrs. Clute.

. Into Two Classes
Grand Island, Neb., Dec. 2. (Spe

ciation late last night completed some
of the business of the association left
unfinished at the Lincoln meeting.
There were present President Per
kins of Aurora, Secretary Scott of
Edgar, Treasurer Edgecombe of
Geneva, Vice President Cass of Ra
venna and Members Clark of David
City, Purcell of Broken Mow, Ladd of
Albion, Brcede of Hastings and Is
rcal of Havelock. George Foxworthy
of Lincoln was also present.
Acting under authority conferred
by the association at Lincoln recently,
the committee adopted certain recom
mendations for changes to the new
constitution, the most important of
which is a provision for the continued
application of all members who de
sire social privileges only, at the old
rate of $2 a year. Plans for the em
ployment of a field secretary were
discussed and the president was au
thorized to call an adjourned meet
ing of the association at Lincoln early
in February.
It is believed by members of the
committee that the action taken to
night will silence all criticism of the
new constitution adopted at Lincoln

Regular Sherlock Holmes Watches
For Smokers in the U. P. Building
The "no smoke" order issued at the
instance of President Calvin of the
Union Pacific a couple of weeks ago,
prohibiting, the smoking of cigars,
pipes or cigarets by employes of
the company, while riding in eleva
tors or while in the corridors of the
headquarters building, is bearing
frdit and that rapidly.
It is asserted that the order went
out by reason of the fact that one
day when the president of the Union
Pacific was riding in one of the eleva
tors, an employe accidentally per
mitted the hot end of a cigar, to rest
on the chief executive's coat, thereby
burning a hole in the garment. At
any rate, the order went out and
while it was obeyed in a general way,
it was constantly being violated and
frequently the odor of bad tobacco
being burned was very much in evi
dence. However, smoking right now about
the headquarters building Is very un
popular among employes and is likely
to be more so as lime passes. This is
all due to the fact that a real Sherlock
Holmes is and has been on the job
for the last four days. During that

Red Oak. la., Dec. 2. (Special Tel
egram.J Albert Jones, son of Sena
tor F. F. Jones, of Villisca, went on
the witness stand this afternoon in
defense of himself in the suit in which
Senator Jones is asking $60,000 dam
ages from Detective J. N. Wilkerson
for connecting the Jones family with
the murder of the Joe Moore family
on June 9, 1912.
In his testimony, which lasted
throughout the entire afternoon, Jones
said that he had never seen the
slaughter house mentioned In the tes
timony of Mrs. Vina Tompkins, in
which she told about hearing a mur
der plot, and he denied that he had
ever, in company with F. F. Jones or
any other man, conversed near the
slaughter house described by Mrs.
Tompkins.
He stafed that on the Saturday
night before the murder he and his
wife went on the train to Clarinda
and visited in the home of Robert
Criswell until Sunday evening, re
turned to Villisca Sunday evening
about 6-20 o'clock, reached their home
about 7 o'clock and remained there
that night. He denied that he was at

testimony down, but his questioning
had little effect. ,
Jones remained composed and posi

time he has caught fourteen em
ployes in the act of violating the
"no smoke" order: Whether they will
lose their jobs, or be severely repri
manded, it is asserted, has not been
fully determined.
The Sherlock Holmes in the case is
unknown to the employes of the
Union Pacific building, but the eleva
tor men are onto him. He is a real
detective and loiters around the cor
ridors during work hours, apparently
being in evidence everywhere at one
and the same time. He is a lightning
change artist when it comes to mak
ing up. One hour he walks tup and
down the corridors, having the ap
pearance of a regular dude, but an
hour later he may impersonate an old,
decrepit man, wearing a white wig
and whiskers and leaning on a cane.
Upon his next appearance, he may
wear the garb of a prosperous busi
ness man and a little later, hang
around the corridors, dressed as a
tramp. Still, it makes little difference
how he is dressed, for if the em
ployes smoke in violation of the or
der, he catches them in the act and
the report to the man higher up
quickly follows.

CAPITAL CITY ENCIRCLED
Bucharest (Via London), Dec. 2.
In the Dumbovitza valley and in the
region of Piteshti Rumanian troops
have retired troops before the lnvad
inir Teuton forces, savs the official
statement issued by the war office
today. A violent battle, it is added,
continues on the Glawatziotzu and
Niaslov rivers, west and southwest of
n i
Duttiarcst.
Attacks by the Roumanians in Dob
rudja resulted in the reaching of the ,
Bulgarian wire entanglements vhich,
the statement declares, have been
passed at some points. j
Indications point to the probability
that two flanking operations on a -large
scale are in progress on the
Roumanian front. The one appar
ently is intended by the Russians to
save King Ferdinand's armies and
possibly his capital, and the other by
the Teytonie allies to force the
evacuation of Bucharest and cut off
the troops defending it.
Having assembled what seems to
be a huge force along the range of
the lower Carpathians, the Russians
are pressing a great offensive on a
front of approximately 250 miles, run
ning along the western frontier of
the Roumanian province of Moldavia
and extending northwest along the
Bukowina border. Already they are
declared to have scored such suc-
am tn maA in vniftatirtne that'
the supply lines of General von Fal
kenhayn's armies invading Roumania
from the north may shortly be se
riously menaced.
The threat to the Roumanians
comes from. Field Marshal von Mack
ensen on the southeast. Controlling
virtually the entire course of t,he Dan
ube as far as Tchernavoda, as they
do, the Teutonic allies, it has been
nnintrf ntit imri-H litrMv tn at
tempt throwing forces across it at
noints further and .further east., to
outflank each tine taken up by the
Roumanians as they retired under the
nressure oi Von Falkenhayn's forces
from the north and west, and such
of Von Mackensen's troops as were
already on the north bank - of the
river. ..s...4-,'-
Entente commentators point out
that such a move may now have been
effected, taking the mention by Petro
grad that hostile patrols have ap
peared near Lake Griska, as indicat
ing that a new crossing has been
made by Von Mackensen near Oltenv
itza, southeast of Bucharest. An ad
vance from this point would hem in ,
the Roumanians around Bucharest,
except to the northwest, and, if car
ried far enough, would altogether cut
off -their retreat.
