CaptlTe Once Possibility as Pres ident, Although Illiterate, and Regarded as Military Ge i nius In Raid Warfare. Et PASO. Tex.. Jan. 19. From cow boy to murderous avenger of wronj to klster; condemned fugitive, bandit chief, leader of guerrillas in first revolution: commander of army, commander-in-chief of forces tha,t finally gained con trol of a nation: leader of revolt against the victor. Presidential possibility and absolute dictator over more than half f nation; bandit again; captive out law, with execution probably only a few hours distant this was the rise and fall of FYancisco Villa, illiterate military genius of Mexico. Born in in the little mining town of Las Nieves. in the state of Durango, he remained there until the death of his father. Then, as a pro tector of his mother and sister, he t..um. a ..ftwhnv in Venterni Chihua hua. From their parents, who were peons of Northern Mexico some ac counts say of a very good family), the children had mneritea spanisa uu au .1 1 n klniul uurl t ra it 1 The story is that when a regiment of Porfirio Diaz' soldiers once visnea the town, the eyes of a Captain alighted on Villa's sister. There was an elope ment without marriage. Villa Paranes Elopers. Villa galloped after the .elopers. caught them and arranged their mar riage. Then he told his newly ac quired brother-in-law to sign his own death certirtcate, dig his owa grave ni lie beside it. Villa shot the bride croom and rolled him into the grave. President Diaz, hearing of his officer- death, set a price on Villa's head. Villa escaped to the mountains and became a bandit. His real name had l.een Doreteo Orango, but as a bandit he became known as Francisco and "Pancho" Villa. He gathered together a number of desperate men of the Northern mountain country, and' with in a few months his name was the terror of the region. According to the more generous esti mates of Villa's life, his outlawry was rather in the form of guerrilla war fare than actual brigandage, for the purpose of satisfying his revenge on the dictator. Dial. At the outbreak of the Madero re volt against Dias tn 1910, Villa, un asked, cast his lot with the Madertstr. and rendered such valuable aid that 3t1adero was forced to recognize the peon commander. Life Saved by Madera. When Madero sent General Huerta Into the North to combat the Orozco re bellion. Villa and Huerta camo to a clash. They were much alike. Each contemptuous of the other. Huerta had Villa arrested and condemned to death, but Madero's debt to Villa t-aved him. He was taken to Mexico ity as a prisoner, readily escaped, reeking refuge across the Texas bor der. Vllla'a rise dates from the day a little less than three years ago when he started across the Rio Grand, with 1 wo companions, six "borrowed horses, $7 In money, and a meager supply of Iiwiil coffee and sugar. iss man year later he was the head of a large and well-equipped army gathered largely In hl own home region; a war chest of several million dollars, which he had accumulated by the seizure of rich estates. From Juarez In the north to Torreon In the south he had control of more than half ofaMexico. under General farranza, first chief of the constitu tionalists. With success of the consti tutionalist cause, following the murder if President Madera by oenerai Mueria. who assumed dictatorship from Mexico City. First Chief Carrima and Commander-in-Chief Villa broke relations, the latter starting a revolt against the former. Villa became dictator of the north ern part of Mexico, or more than half the nation, and became a Presidential possibility. He proposed a convention of military chiefs for the selection of a President. Thia was accepted by t'arranza. who later ordered the con vention to adjourn. Villa then led the revolt, which dwindled with the deser tions by hi trusted Generals and men. until Villa was reduced to the leader of a band of 10 men, his capture soon following.

Portland's Jitney ordinance now Is enforceable. The mandate of the Su preme Court in which the Jitney ordi nance was held valid was filed in the Circuit Court yesterday and the Judg ment of the upper court was made the Judgment of the lower court. City At torney LaRoche then sent a letter to Commissioner Daly notifying him that the provisions of the ordinance now are enforceable. Enforcement will be started at once. The police will be instructed by Mayor Albee to notify the Jitney anvers 10 report at the City Hall at once for their licenses and permits to operate. Jitney Inspector Gill, who has an koffice at the City Hall, will conduct the inspection of machines and the ex amination of drivers as fast as he is able. Opportunity to Comply Given. Mayor Albee said last night that he will instruct the police bureau to be reasonable with the drivers.. No ar rests will bo made until all drivers have had an opportunity to get their examinations and have permits issued. Inasmuch as the inspection of each car and the examination of each driver takes considerable time, it is said to be impossible to put all the Jitneys through the test in less than possibly two or three weeks. It is probable a time will be set when all drivers must have permits. This will be set later, when it is seen how rapidly the machines and drivers can be put through the tests. As to the safety features of the ordi nance, these will be put into effect at once. The machines will be prohibited from overloading and will have to have interior lights and other safeguards. Sealing Capacity Limit Kept. The Jitney, under the provisions of the ordinance, may not carry more than the registered seating capacity. No more than one passenger may ride in the seat with the driver, and no passengers are permitted to ride on the running-board or steps. A five-passenger car may carry five passengers, including the driver, according to the terms of the ordinance. Stops to take on or let off passen gers may be made only on the near side of street intersections. This is a safe ty provision, the near side being the opposite to that on which the street cars stop. Commissioner Daly has pre sented proposed amendments to this part of the ordinance, but they have not been adopted by the Council as yet. So far 96 Jitney drivers have ap peared before the Jitney inspector fo' permits. Of this number 40 of the machines have been found safe and the drivers capable. The others have been rejected for various reasons. They will be re-examined as soon as certain de fects are corrected. O. A. C.

If you are accustomed t wake up with a coated tongue, foul breath or a dull, dizzy headache, or, if your meals sour and turn into gas and acids, you have a real surprise awaiting you. Tomorrow morning, immediately upon arising, drink i. glass of hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in It. This is Intended to first neutral ize and then wash out of your stom ach, liver, kidneys and thirty feet of intestines all the indigestible waste, poisons, sour bile and toxins, thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary canal. Those subject, to sick headaches, backache, bilious attacks, constipation or anv form of stomach trouble, are urged to get a quarter pound of lime stone phosphate from tne arug swro and begin enjoyinc: this morning in side-bath. It is said that men ana women who try this become enthusi astic and keep it up daily. It is a splendid health measure, for it is more Important to keep clean ana pure on the ineirte than mi the outside, because the skin pores do not absorb impuri ties into the blood, causing oiaease, while the bowel pores do. The principle of bathing inside Is not new, as millions of people practice it. Just as hot water and soap cleanse, purify and freshen the skin, so hot water and a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate act on the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels. Limestone phos phate is an inexpensive white powder, and almost tasteless. Adv.
