this matter with Senator, Simmons,
chairman of the senate finance com
mittee, and has urged that the com
mittee adopt Senator .Hardwick's
amendment for increasing second
class postage. According to' postal
department Hardwick's plan, if car
ried to conclusion, would add $20,
000,000 this year by a tax "ranging
from three -to eight cents per pound
on the advertising sections of all pub
lications. , The present rate of one
cent a pound is proposed to be re
tained on the news sections of news
papers, magazines and other publica
tions. Villa Captures Holder Town.

Grande from this place, has been cap
tured by Villa troops, commanded -by
the bandit leader himself. The Car
ranza garrison was taken by surprise
and the "Mexican troops guarding the
pest were compelled to flee to the
American side, in their haste leaving
most of their arms. Custom-officials
arriving from Ojinaga stated that
Villa led the attacking force, and
ih at many Carranzias surrendered.
Considerable fighting occurred in the
Plaza, government troops having ral
lied there. Captain Pedro Ornelas
and two soldiers of thegarrlson were
wounded and later brought over o
the American side. When the attack
began women and children crossed
the river as fast as possible and took
rofuge here. Tha capture of Olhaga
gives Villa a border port of entry into
the United States. Ut is reported
that the main comnufnd of Villa's
army is at Plovo, 20 miles east of
