COLUMBUS. X. M., March 14. (Spe
cial.) That the surprise of the Ameri-
-1 can garrison under Colonel Slocum by
the Villa bandits here was complete
, -was indicated by details ot that early
morning attach: which-were learned to-
'. tiny. No official explanation has been
made yet as to how such a surprise
, was possible. It was not such a sur
prise to others.
One feature of the fatal night was
1that a representative of a news agency
had made the tnp from El Paso to the
' little sidetrack station of Columbus the
wiay previous, so as to be there for "biff
"Villa developments that nigrht."
A telegraph operator had accompa
nied him In expectation of a bigger
Mory than the regular telegraph oper
ator at Columbus could handle. Their
preparations were justified in less than
12 hours. Whether their presence there
'was a coincidence of foresight, the gar
rison did not happen to make the same
Advance preparations or possibly the
.lives of several Americans would not
have been lost. '
Various rumors, more or less wild,
have been circulated regarding why
pnd how the garrison was surprised.
One story was that all the rifles were
locked in a storehouse and could not
be reached until the first sweep of the
Villa fire was over. The basis of this
-report was that in each of the 10 bunk
houses in which from 30 to 40 pri
vates were sleeping the rifles, as usual.
'cre stored in the regulation racks
and secured. There seems to have been
no delay in obtaining them and one
man who passed through the attack
paid that the Americans were return-
' ing the fire before he could jump into
a pair of shoes and trousers and get
downstairs. One American machine
cun clogged and became useless, which
i.s said to be a common occurrence with
' th pattern used in the Army.
That the raiders captured 92 cavalry
horses is admitted by the Army. That
. they captured a machine gun is denied.
Instead, it is said that two of Villa's
machine guns -were captured.

of State I. M. Howell from filing the
first-aid title were taken under ad
visement by Superior Judge Wright, of
the Thurston County Superior Court,

part of the legislative process and are
outside the court's Jurisdiction.

BANISH JCROFULA
Hood's Saraaparllla Cleanses the Blood,
Skin Troubles Vanish.
Scrofula eruptions on the face and

This disease shows itself in other
"nays, as bunches in the neck, inflamed
eyelids, sore ears,- wasting of the mus

debility.
Ask your druggist for Hood's Sarsa

enriches the blood, removes humors and
builds up the whole system. It em

6 OPPOSE BRANDEIS
Mr. Taft, Among Other Bar
Association Heads, Testifies.
MINING DEAL RAKED UP
Boston Broker Declares Attorney
Counseled Keeping Special Re
port Secret, Though. Injury .
Was Done His Clients.
WASHINGTON. March 14. Ex-President
Taft and six other former presi
dents of the Bar Association protested
today to the Senate Judiciary sub-committee
against the confirmation of the
nomination of Louis D. Brandeis for the
Supreme Court. The others were Simeon
E. Baldwin. Francis Rawle. Joseph H.
Choate. Elihu Root. Moorfield Story and
Peter W. Meldrim.
The first six sent a letter statins'
that "taking' into view the reputation,
character and professional career of
Mr. Louis D. Brandeis, he is not a fit
person to be a member of the Supreme
Court of the United States."
William K. Fitzgerald, a Boston
broker, testified as to Mr. Brandeis'
connection with the Old Dominion Cop
per Company case. In 1903. he said,
Mr. Brandeis was employed by Towle
& Fitzgerald to help get proxies to
pain control of the company. They were
successful and after electing new di
rectors found it necessary to raise
more funds. Finally. Mr. Fitzgerald
testified. It was planned to consolidate
with the United Globe Mining Com
pany, adjoining, and to give the Old
Dominion stockholders, some of whom
Mr. Fitzgerald represented, a two-to-one
interest.
An engineer employed by the Old
Dominion directors to examine the
property recommended, however, Mr.
Fitzgerald testified, that the Old Do
minion stockholders should receive a
four-to-one interest. Mr. Fitzgerald
said Mr. Brandeis countenanced the di
rectors in concealing this report from
the stockholders and the public for
two or three weeks. Mr. Fitzgerald
added that when he protested to Mr.
Brandeis, the latter responded that he
would better go in with the merger and
get on the bandwagon.
Edward F. McClennen, Mr. Brandeis'
law partner, testified that he was not fa
miliar with the plan for financing the
Old Dominion Company, but could not
conceive of any immorality In the af
fair.

changed its charter from the National
to the state form and became the La
Salle Street Trust & Savings Bank."

Mr. Holly said that the firet act of
conspiracy was committed in making
this transformation. He said that Mr.
Lorimer and associates, although with
out that amount of money on deposit,
gave notes for an aggregate of

000 to the La Salle Street Bank. In re
turn Mr. Lorimer received a cashier's
check for $1,250,000 which he deposited
with the Central Trust Company, and
the latter sent that much currency to
the new State Bank.
"Not a cent was paid in." said Mr.
Holly, but when the State Bank Exam
iner came he found the capital stock,
this self-same $1,250,000. on hand. The
examiner counted the money, gave his
approval and departed. Then the money
was sent back to the Central Trust
Company."
Albert Fink, attorney for Mr. Lori
mer, interrupted to ask if Mr. Holly
thought that Charles G. Dawes, presi
dent of the Central Trust Company
and ex-controller of the currency, was
a party to the conspira?y.
"The jury can decide wlrether he
was a party to the conspiracy, or was
simply victimized by Mr. Lorimer,"
replied Mr. Holly.
Lous Described In Detail.
The prosecutor went into detail of
loans made by the La Salle bank to
enterprises of Mr. Lorimer, Mr. Mun
day and Harry W. Huttig, the cashier.
When the bank failed June 11. 1914,
the prosecutor said, of outstanding
loans of $3,300,000, $2,100,000 had been
lent out to enterprises of the three
officers named.
The Lorimer Lumber Company, the
prosecutor said, was financed so far
as defendant was concerned by a check
for $50,000 on his bank at a time when
his account was already overdrawn
by $7000. Another $50,000 check went
into the company for William Lori
mer, Jr., Mr. Holly said, although the
Junior Lorimer had overdrawn his ac
count $104. Mr. Holly will resume to
morrow. BATTALION WILL DRILL

FORD IDEA IN LIGHT
Peace Advocate Carries Plan
Into Employes' Homes.
QUARRELING UNDER BAN
'Out of Trenches" , Command to
Those Who Cannot Get Along AVith,
WivesThey Mnst Make Peace,
Get Divorce or Quit Jobs.
CHICAGO, March 14. Henry Ford,
who tried to bring peace In Europe
and failed, has carried the Oscar II
idea into the homes of his employes,
according- - to revelations made today
before Judge Denis E. Sullivan, of the
Superior Court.
The peace leader's rules provide that
employes and their wives must Vget
out of trenches" and hoist the white
flag, obtain divorces or quit the serv
ice of the company and lose their $5 i
day.
Henry Carter, a porter, who receives
$5 a day from the company, obtained
divorce from his wife here on a charge
of desertion, and his witness was Wal
ter G. May, of Evanston. formerly su
perintendent of the sociological depart
ment of the Ford works.
May revealed the idea of the manii
facturer that the workman who quar
rels with his wife in the morning
makes a poor workman all the day. He
was questioned by Carter's attorney
and said he found that Carter was not
living with his wife.
"As I understand from the officers
of the company, a man that is in the
predicament that Mr. Carter is in now
will lose his position unless he is able
to separate himself from his wife?"
the lawyer asked.
"Exactly," May said.
Til give him a decree," Judge Sulli
van said.

NOG ALES, Ariz., March 14. Fewer

The Infirmities of age are especially

DYSPEPSIA
OF WOMEN
Special Treatment Required.
Many women suffer from a form of
indigestion or dyspepsia which does not
yield to ordinary treatment. While the
symptoms are similar to those of ordi-1
nary indigestion, yet the medicines
usually prescribed do not restore the
patient's normal condition.
There seems to be a kind of dyspepsia
caused by derangement of the female
organism. While this appears to be tha
same as ordinary indigestion it. can be
relieved only by a medicine which, be
sides acting as a stomach tonic, is good
for female ailments. Read what such
a medicine did for Mrs. Williams :
She says: "Before I began taking
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com-
lilHiinnhimiiilillnl pound 1 was trou-
bled with dyspepsia
and bearing down
pains in my back
and sides, and after
my meals my stom
ach would bloat up
till I could scarcely
get my breath. At
times I was so weak
I could hardly stand
on my feet and I
looked hollow-eyed
and my skin was yellow. Now I have
a good color, have gained in every
way and can do my work without any
pains. I think it is the best medicine
on earth for stomach troubles of wo
men." Mrs. Nellie Williams, 31
West 3d Street, New Albany, lad.
E TEA
INTO GRAY HAIR
Darkens Beautifully and Re
stores Its Natural Color
and Luster at Once.
Common garden sage brewed Into a
heavy tea, with sulphur and alcohol
added, will turn gray,, streaked and
faded hair beautifully dark and luxuri
ant. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur
recipe at home, though, is troublesome.
An easier way is to get the ready-to-use
preparation improved by the addi
tion of other ingredients, costing about
50 cents a large bottle, at drug stores,
knows as "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound," thus avoiding a lot of
muss.
While gray, faded hair Is not sinful,
we all desire to retain our youthful
appearance and attractiveness. By
darkening your hair with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound, no one can tell,
because it does It so naturally, so even
ly. Tou Just dampen a sponse or soft
brush with it and draw this through
your hair, taking one small strand at a
time; by morning ail gray hairs have
disappeared. After another application
or two your hair becomes beautifully
dark, glossy, soft and luxuriant and
you appear years younger. Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound is a de
lightful toilet requisite. It is not in
tended for the cure, mitigation or pre
vention of disease. Adv,
