CARRANZA COLONEL Rf PORTED IN REVOLT MILITIA CALLED OUT TO QUELL 5 0 0 0 IN ANTI-C AIIIOIIC RIOT Haverhill, Mass. The local com pany of state militia was called upon by Mayor Albert L. Bartlett Tuesday night to assist the police in controlling a crowd of 6000 persons concerned in a riotous demonstration in the vicinity of the city hall. Many windows were broken by missiles. The crowd assembled as the result of an attempt to hold the meeting in the city hall for discussion of state aid for sectarian schools. The meeting was regarded as anti-Catholic. Thom as E. I.eyden, of Somerville, who was announced as a former Roman Catholic : priest, had been advertised as the Pershing Now Thought Deceived As speaker. When the hour for the meet ing arrived the crowd in front of the to Villa’s Injury — Systematic hall was so dense that the police decid ed that the meeting could not be held Search to Be Continued. and the doors were closed. For several hours the crowd, in creased in size by curious citizens, El Paso, Tex.— The question of the marched up and down the street shout ing and committing various acts of loyaty of the Carranza troops has again come very near to the fore here HOWARD H. GROSS folllowing persistent reports that Col. Cano, the Carranza commander at Namiquipa, has joined Villa. Andres Garcia, the Carranza consul here, has refused to credit these re ports on the ground that Cano is a bit ter personal enemy of Villa, but he admits that nothing has been heard from the Namiquipa commander for more than a week. The only direct information that has come from Namiquipa since then has been a paragraph in a dispatch from Gen. Pershing in which it was stated that half the garrison at the town had disappeared and it was suspected some of them had joined Villa. Americans who arrived here from Chihuahua City Sunday asserted that Col. Cano was with the Villistas de feated near Guerrero by Col. Dodd. American Officers Credit Rumor That Cano Has Joined Villa.

Opposes Inviting Laborers to Oregon University, o f Oregon, Eugene— Let ters that invite laboring men to come and settle in Oregon should not be sent by Oregonians to Eastern friends or Eastern newspapers. This admonition was given by O. P. Hoff, state labor commissioner, to students in the Uni versity school of commerce. “ Oregon offers less opportunity for the laboring man than any state in the Union. A city the size of Portand has five times as hard work taking care of a surplus of 10,000 men as a city of the same size in Massachusetts has, because Portland does not have the great man ufacturing establishments of the East,” said Mr. Hoff. The state labor commissioner thinks that as a partial remedy for winter un employment the state should arrange to get needy men onto small tracts of stump land. “ No man can make a profitable investment by buying such land and putting all his time on it,” said Mr. Hoff, “ but by using his idle ; time any man could build up a good home in a few years.” Mr. Hoff said compulsory safeguards | would put an end to 50 per cent of all accidents in industrial plants in Ore gon. _________ San Antonio, Tex. — Gen. Funston Sunday was in receipt of State depart ment information in regard to condi tions in Chihuaftua and other parts of Mexico, but refused to make it public. It was stated at his headquarters, how ever, that there appeared to be reason to believe that Col. Cano, who was leading one o f the heavier forces against Villa, had revolted against Carranza and had joined Villa. “ Of course. Sylvia and I get on very well. Has anyllitug been beard of the brother?” “ 1 don't thtuk so. But 1 shall hear tonight." "Cut his throat probably.” She glanced back at him with a curious lit tle smile on her colorless fact». “ All the same. Sylvia Is lucky, I am rather proud of you myself, Richard.
