THE MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, JANUARY 29, 1914. VILLA DISCLAIMS PRESIDENTIAL BEE Mexican Rebel Commander Has No Ambitions Except to Battle for Freedom. ADMIRERS SEND DIAMONDS Soldier, Surrounded by Money aiid Gems, Tell of Plans to Start Mint and Establish Bank to Supply Xeeds. JUAREZ. Mexico, Jan. 2S. General Francisco Villa, military commander of the rebel forces, today disclaimed any ambition to become President of Mex ico. He said that although his vic tories against the Huerta forces at OJinaga and Chihuahua had attracted attention to himself he did not wish to overshadow General Caransa, whom ho recognized as the leader of the revo lutions. "Should General Carranza become President he would receive my support and I would obey his commands." said General Villa. "As proof of my loyalty nnd as evidence that I have no ambi tion to become President, I would leave the country if he ordered me to do bo." Ulaaoada Received as Gifts. General Villa's Interview was given In his little plastered adobe house, where he went Immediately on his ar rival from Chihuahua. On the floor in tho front room where he stood were 16 bHgs4, each containing 10,000 Mexican dollars, and on the window sill were half a dozen newly-purchased diamond rings still glittering in their plush boxes. The coin was purchased from the banks In El Paso for use In Chi huahua, where silver has been scarce, nnd the diamond rings were presents from various rebel commanders. General Villa, much tanned by his campaigns on the desert about OJinaga. was garbed In a newly-made dark olive jjreon uniform, the first tailor made uniform he ever wore. The rebel leader listened wtih a blank, incredulous ex pression to questions put up to him, but he answered with a. show of char acteristic fierceness In his clinched fists and black, gleaming eyes. . Ambttloa Is Only to Fight. "I have never been In anything but the fullest accord with General Car ranza." said General Villa. "I never had personal ambition to reach high office. I am a fighting man only and I am lighting for the liberation of my coun try, not to elevate myself. I am only a soldier under command of my chief, and I shall obey him whatever his orders may be. If he becomes Presi dent and tells me to get out of the country I will do it instantly. No more proof of my loyalty to General Car ranza could be asked. "I wish all the nations of the world to know that I am not lighting to make myself President" and here General Villa brought both his clenched fists through the air by way of emphasis. "We are not fighting to make any man President, but we hope once for all to save our country from spoliation and the ambitions of individuals. We are spreading the Ideals of a republic and we are exterminating those who oppose us. "In a few months we have liberated half of Mexico, and In a few months moro we shall liberate the other half." Mint and Bank to Be Started. General Villa came to Juarez to ne gotiate with business Interests for the resumption of industry in Chihuahua Slate and also to procure small coin for circulation in the rebel territory. He plans to start a rebel mint and a bank as soon as possible. He said when ho returns to Chihua hua he will prepare personally to command an attack on Torreon. Bonales Sandoval, who was reputed to have been on a mission to create an alliance between General Villa and the Felix Diaz faction, returned from Chi huahua with Villa. Sandoval said he would go to Mexico City. He denied that his visit had any political signifi cance. SEASIDE TO HAVE PARK rORTLAXD BIAST AT HEAD Oir BIG AMUSEMENT PROJECT.

CONVERTS WON TO CAUSE (Continued From First Pa ge. ) left to hold the sack and pay the taxes." Upon Inquiry it was found that this : man had taken up a homestead a doze : years ago; that he still lives In the ,, 10x13 shack he then erected; that he has but two acres cleared; no outbuild ings worthy the name, and pays taxes ' of about $1.85 a year. Pertinent Question Asked. That is bad- enough, but he went on , to say this is not an agricultural ' county, and never will be, most of the land being of a very poor quality. One of his listeners asked him why In the world he remained on a claim that had ; no value and never would have, which was surely a pertinent question. It would be untrue to say that all of the opponents to the measure are of . such caliber, but it is his class that is making the most noise. There Is no doubt that many intelligent men who now oppose the bonds do so because they do not thoroughly understand the proposition. Just how they can remain in Ignorance after listening to the speakers, and especially to Messrs. Terrace and Perrigo from King Coun ty. Washington, is past comprehension. That such doubters are rapidly being converted is the belief of all, or nearly all with whom I have come in contact. Farmer Is Convincing;. The meeting this afternoon hcrevas presided over by Mr. Tount, who after a brief opening address called upon Mr. Perry, of King County, Washington. Mr. Perry is a plain every-day farming man. He lays no claims to being an orator, even a fluent speaker. But he gave from his own experiences on his farm, 13 miles from Seattle, facts and figures that prove beyond all controversy that King County and the King County people have made & most marvelous advancement since they began to build good roads. After a, few remarks by Mr. Benson, Sam Hill took tho floor and In his impressive way entertained the audi ence for a short time and then came the wonderful pictures which were handled exceedingly well by the local operator. Mr. Hill. of course, ex plained every one of them much to the delight of the large audience. At Mist where Chairman Libel, called the meeting to order several men were asked to speak, among whom were Messrs. Father Kopen hoeffer, Griswold, Perriss and Manager Evenson, of the Benson Logging Com pany. The meeting was well attended. The party returned to Rainier to night in time for the evening con ference, at which Mr. Hill showed his famous Klickitat pictures for the last time, as he announced that he had been called to Grants Pass to fill an en gagement. The house at Rainier was filled to overflowing, many being turned away. STUDENTS TO GRADUATE OREGON NORMAL SCHOOL WILL HATE EXERCISES THIS WElili.

Greene Adams was placed on trial here today before Judge Kakin and a jury In the Circuit Court, charged with the murder of Robert McPherson at Vernonia last Summer. The jury was selected and District Attorney Dillard made the opening statement today. John A. Jeffrey and Mr. Stone, of Ore gon City, are defending Adams. Mr. Jeffrey outlined the defense to the jury. -ine tieiense will be that Adams was acting in self-protection. Dr. Wooden, of Clatskanle. who made the examination at the Coroner's In quest, was the first witness, and testi fied as to the condition of the body at mat time, tub evidence of the state. as disclosed by the testimony of sev eral witnesses, was that Adams was the aggressor and became engaged in a fist fight with McPherson and then drew his gun and fired, striking Mc Pherson in the abdomen. The only eye-witness to the affray was a little girl, Hattie Webster, a niece of the dead man, who was across the street. She testified that Adams came out of the drugstore and walked toward McPher son, who was coming off the bridge, and it was while passing that Adams and McPherson engaged in a fight. She was uncertain as to who struck the first blow, but said after a short inter' val Adams pulled his gun and fined.

POLICY OF 'PITILESS PUBLICITY' REACTS Weapon Democrats Promised to Use Turned Against .Them When They Neglect It. CIVIL SERVICE IS SAVED Party Sportsmen Balked in Efforts to Capture) I'ourth-CIass Post offices and Assistant Post rnastersblps as Well. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Jan. 28. "Pitiless publicity, which the Wilson Administration and the Democratic majority in Congress early promised to use In the Interest of the public, has come to be the most ef fective weapon used against the Demo crats. Likewise, it Is the one weapon the Democrats have laid aside in their conduct cf the affairs of government But for the "pitiless publicity" used by Republicans . In Congress and by newspapers, both Democratic and Re publican, the civil service would to day have been literally "shot to pieces" by the spoilsmen of the dominant party. Hardly had the Administration of President Wilson begun than the at tack opened on the civil service. The faithful demanded jobs; Democrats in Senate and House thought the faithful were entitled to Jobs, and as early as the middle of last March the raid on the civil service began. Postmaster General Burleson was one of the early leaders in the attack on the civil service. Burleson's Policy Exposed. No sooner had -this assault begun, however, than Republicans in Congress brought to public attention the Demo cratic raid on th merit system and the activities of the spoilsmen were laid bare. It was "pitiless publicity" that deterred Postmaster-General Burleson from revoking tho order of President Taft which covered fourth-class post masters Into the civil service. While the Postmaster-General halted at re voking the order, he went to great lengths to defeat that order under guise of complying with the civil terv ice law by appointing Democrats after examination whenever Democrats passed the civil service examination, even though Republicans made higher ratings. Again "pitiless publicity" was brought Into play. It was shown that in some .cases Democratic members of Congress were picking fourth-class postmasters from the civil service lists. Now the Postmaster-General announ ces that the civil service law will be rigidly applied in the appointment of fourth -class postmasters; he says that members of Congress will no longer be consulted, but whenever a vacancy occurs at any office an examination will be held, open to all applicants and the person ranking the highest rating, regardless of political faith, will be appointed. Publicity caused the change. Assistant Postmaster Saved. Only recently, the Democratic ma jority of the House committee on post- hof flees adopted an amendment to the postofflce appropriation bill removing about 24,000 assistant postmasters from the civil service, and turning these jobs over to tha spoilsmen. Instantly a howl of protest went up. "Pitiless pub licity" again was applied by the critics of the Administration, with the two fold result that the President threat ened to veto the pcstofflce bill if the amendment were adopted and later the Hcuse itself was forced through its committee on rules to abrogate the amendment, and this particular raid on the civil service was stopped. "Pitiless publicity" was particularly threatened by Democrats while the tariff bill was pending. Republicans, resisting the reductions of the Under wood bill, predicted that American in dustries would be injured by some of the new rates. This brought from Rep resentative Underwood and many other Democrats tho threat that the Adminis tration would apply "pitiless publicity" to any concern that closed down, that reduced wages, or laid off men and at tributed its action to the new tariff law. Notwithstanding the fact that many industries have either closed down mills or reduced their forces, there has been no application of "pitiless publicity" by the Administration and renewed in vitations to the Administration to bring light to bear on these industries have been waved aside. President Wilson is more difficult of access than were his predecessors. Secretary Daniels has directed that no information whatever shall be given to newpapers about the work of hi3 de partment, except it be given, out by his own office. - No bureau chief in the Navy Department is at liberty to discuss the work of his Bureau. The same is largely true of the War De partment. The same is true of the State Department and of several other De partments. STABLES TO BE WATCHED Permits Will Be Xecessary Where Three Animals Are Kept. It is now unlawful for any person or firm to erect a stable for three or more animals in a residence district without securing a permit from the city and giving the neighboring resi dents an opportunity to protest. The City Commission yesterday passed an ordinance outlining this procedure. The applicant for a permit must give to the City Auditor a description of the building he proposes to erect and the location and the names of the resi dents within a radius of 200 feet. The Auditor will then fix a date for the hearing. If there is any serious ob jection the permit will be refused. RAILROAD HEARING IS HELD Commissioner Miller Sits In plaints at Med ford. Com- MEDFORD, Or., Jan. 28. (Special.) Frank H. Miller, of the State Railroad Commission, has been hearing com plaints against the Southern Pacific the last few days. William Relchstein complained of "spotting" his cars of wood which necessitated his making an extra haul when other cars were al lowed to stay on the sidetrack. An appeal for a commodity rate on beans to Portland by the Medford Stor age Company was argued, and ques tions of railroad crossings at Talent and Central Point will be heard later. STREET TO BE WIDENED Seaside Passes Ordinance Providing for Change. SEASIDE, Or., Jan. 28. (Special.) The problem of widening Bridge street, the principal business street of Seaside, whicll has been vexing the City Coup.- cil here for years, was disposed of last night. An ordinance providing for the widening of the street was passed and the name of the street was abol ished and "Broadway", substituted. At the same time all the streets of the city were named In accordance with a plan that will be easy for visit ors to grasp. A decimal system of house numbering was adopted. Another problem that has been be fore the Council for some time and which was disposed of last evening was fhe granting to O. W. Taylor, of Portland, an extension of time in which to build the tracks of the Portland. Nehalem & Seacoast Railroad through the city. Taylor has a franchise which calls for a track on Main street, but practi cally every resident along the street objected to the line being laid there and numerous petitions were presented to the Council, asking that the line be diverted. Much argument was in dulged in over the subject and threats of bodily assault were made several times, but the solution was finally reached by granting an extension of time for the complettion of tho work and by the Council deciding to open another street, parallel to the Spokane, Portland & Seattle Railroad line, upon which the proposed line will be lo cated. Tentative steps were taken by the Council last night to secure a sewer system for the city and to establish a base of grades for all street improve ment. A, representative of an engineer ing firm appeared before the Council and offered to do the necessary en gineering work, superintend the con struction and float the necessary bonds for the work. His company is doing considerable work for the Government at the mouth of the Columbia and for the Astoria Port Commission- at -present PORTLAND BANK URGED El'GEM!

Mills, president of the First National, of Portland, who was here today to speak at the University of Oregon and who, as chairman of the Portland Chamber of Commerce com mittee, will present Portland's claims to the Commission, this morning said: "I feel that Portland has an excel lent opportunity to be chosen as a regional bank city, should politics be kept out of the consideration. But I fear the effect of politics, for the com mittee is declaring so strongly that politics will havp nothing to do with the choice. Portland will put up the strongest possible arguments, and through Edward Cookingham, of Ladd & Tilton's, I am glad to learn that Eu gene will be represented at the meet ing. The two Secretaries, McAdoo and Houston, will sit on the high throne in the Federal court rooms all day, and I will simply act as interlocutor and introduce the other actors."

The letters Private George wrote never reached the secretary, but went back to his commanding officers, who court-martialed him for breach of discipline. Secretary Tumulty appealed to the President to pardon the man on the ground that the failure of the letters to reach the secretary was in a wav responsible for his Imprisonment.

Your Money '8 Worth or Your Money Back HEW TREATY READY Bryan Averts Possibility of War With Denmark. NATIONAL HONOR INCLUDED Convention Is Based on Denmark') Treaty AVitU Italy, Except for exclusion of Own Nation als as Arbitrators. WASHINGTON, Jan. 8. Arbitration of all questions, including- those involving- National honor, is proposed in a treaty, the terms of which were agreed on today by Secretary Bryan and Constantin Brun. the Danish minister. It is expected the new treaty will he signed in the near future and Mr. Bryan is optimistic over its reception in the Senate. The convention, which will be an amplification of the principle of Mr. Bryan's peace proposals, makes no reservation in the subjects to be sub mitted to arbitration. Its basis is a convention between Denmark and Italy, signed at Rome December 19, 1905, which obligates the signatory powers to submit to arbitration at tho Hague Court "all disputes- of what ever nature that may arise between them and could not have been settled by diplomacy." It is understood, however, that a provision of he Danish-Italian treaty eliminating the nationals of either country as arbitrators will not be a feature of the Danish-American con vention.

EAT INJURIOUS TO THE KIDNEYS Take a Tablespoonful of Salts if Back Htirts or Bladder Bothers. We are a nation of meat eaters and our blood is filled with uric acid, says a well-known authority, who warns us to be constantly on guard against kidney trouble. The kidneys do their utmost to free the blood of this .irritating acid, but become weak from the overwork: they get sluggish; the eliminative tissues clog and thus the waste is retained in the blood to poison the entire system. When your kidneys ache and feel like lumps of lead, and you have stinging pains in the back or the urine is cloudy, full of sediment, or the bladder is irri table, obliging you to seek relief during: the night; when you have severe head aches, nervous and dizzy spells, sleep lessness, acid stomach or rheumatism in bad weather, get from your pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful In a glass of water before breakfast each morning and in a few days your kidneys will act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon Juice, combined with lithla, and has been used for genera tions to flush and stimulate clogged kidneys, to neutralize the acids In urine so it is no longer a source of irritation, thus ending urinary and bladder dis orders.
