proposals that tho representation of

FAMILY DENIES ROMANCE
Secret Search of New York: City, Or.

NKW YORK, Dec. 13. The utmost
mystery continues to surround the dis
appearance of Miss Jonnle McCann.
datiKhter of a wealthy merchant, who
left her home in I-latlush. Brooklyn.
December 4, and baa not been beard
from since. The police of Greater New
Tork have been moved to especial ef
forts by the fact that Mayor Kline him
self issued the order to spare no ef
fort to find the young woman. Mayor
Kline is an intimate personal friend of
Miss McCanu's father, Robert G. Mc
Cann. of Austin. Nichols A Co.
Miss McCann is a blue-eyed blonde,
with almost perfect teeth and complex
ion. She is S3 years old.
She left home in Flatbuxh on a Thurs
day afternoon to go to the Home for
Destitute Children, where she gave
her services as instructress. That was
the last any member, of her family lias
seen of her. No friends have seen iter
either, so far aa is known. Her family
denies there waa any possibility of a
romance, and her sister ,cllnrs to the
original theory that she has met with
foul play.
The case la strongly suggestive. In
many reaped, of that of Dorothy Arnold.
10 days, a messenger meantime was
dispatched to ilia with important
suggestions.
These augrg-estionn In effect were
that villa should not further incur the
displeasure of foreign governments by
dictatorial!- discriminating as to what
foreigners shall remain in Mexico. He
was told that because of his attitude
toward SpantHrrin the Americans and
Germans In Chihuahua were threaten
ing to leave the country In the coun
try further south, which Villa has said
h will Invade In his, march toward
Mexico City, are many more Spaniards.
Some of the refugees, reputed to be
millionaires, were without money when
they stepped from the train. They re
ported that technfcaliy they had left
their property In the hands of Harry
Scoboll. the British Vice-Consul, but
that really Villa had taken possession
of it.
Reports of numerous executions of
men suspected of being friendly to
Huerta were brought by the refugees.
They confirmed a report that Major
Ramon Sanchex Aldana. chief of staff
of General t-alazar, of the federal
army, had been executed and said vari
ous obscure persons who dared ,t re
main In chihuahua after the federal
evacuation had, been liulnetiy put to
dcuth.

questing him to go at once to Chihua
hua and advise with General Villa.
Thomas D. Kdwarda, United States
Consul at Juarez, attempted to tele
graph to Chihuahua, but was told the
wires were not working. Mr. Edwards
finally arranged to send a messenger
by automobile.
"Before the rebel army entered the
city we thought at least the children of
God would be safe," said Father
Morales. "Yet the rebels had not long
been In possession when we at the
cathedral were visited by an agent of
Rebel Leader Villa. He Informed
that a general tribute was to be exact
ed for the revolutionary reuse, and that
each of the priests would be expected
to pay 15090.
Prleeta Fereed to Leave.
"lie said if the money were not paid
within two days there would be serious
consequences. We told him that we
could not do it; that we did not have
the money. At the expiration of two
days Villa's agent returned and we
gave him our worldly possessions. We
were told we had to leave the country
with the other Spaniards. We asked to
be allowed to take with us all our
sacred church vessels, but were told
this would be Impossible, for the church
property in the future would belong to
the rebel."
The representation was made that
in arbitrarily expelling Spaniards
from Mexico or confiscating or closing
down their property, valued at more
than 13.000,000. Villa had acted without
sufflicent advice and that he had In
curred the displeasure of foreign In
terests in forcibly entering the Brit
ish vice-consulate to arrert Luis Ter
razas. Jr.. who is being held for 1250.
OuO ransom.
Several refugees sent personal mes
sages to the Spanish Ambassador at
Washington characterising the en
forced exile as "barbarous act of sav
ages." and saying they had been in
sulted by Villa's troop. Sillmar mes
suges were sent to King Alfonso of
Spain.
Villa Declared lUy.AavUed.
The situation resulted In a confer
ence of rebel ' leaders at Juarea. at
which it was explained that Vila,
being- a military commander and head
of the civil government, bad acted
without sufficient advice. It was de
cided that General Carranxa should be
asked to start immediately for Chlhua'
hua, where hereafter he might deter
mine the futur poltcls of the revolu
tion after personal conferences with
Villa. The meeting- decided that Villa,
by his acts toward foreigners, had pre
cipitated a serious situation. As Gen
eral Carranxa cannot go overland from
HerrnoeUlo to Chihuahua is less than:

LONDON.' Dee. 13. Mrs. Kmmallne
Pnnkhurst, tho suffragette leader,
while returning from Paris, where she
had been visiting her daughter. Miss
Cristobel Pankhurst. was rearrested to
night by Scotland Yard detectives
shortly after the train left Dover. The
action of the police was so unexpected
by the militants that they had made no
preparations to guard their leader by
a detachment from the recently-organised
suffragette army.
It was only on Sunday last that
"General" Mrs. Flora Drummond,
speaking at a suffrage meeting, ex
claimed: "Here and now wo swear that never
again will the government get Mrs.
Pankhurst."
Prior to her departure from Paris,
Mrs. Pankhurst said she did not expect
to he arrested before Monday, as the
license under which she had been re
leased did not expire until then. She
announced her Intention of addressing
a big meeting on that day in London.
The rharge on which she was taken
Into custody was "having left the coun
try without jrlvlng the 24 hours' notice
of change of address required by her
license."
At Victoria Station a large force of
police was on hand, to prevent any at
tempt . rescue. On the arrival of
the train and before any of the mili
tants present realised what had hap
pened, she was hurried Into a motor car
and driven to Holloway Jail.

TALK IS YET UNOFFICIAL

Friend Points Out Bow Relations
Witli Vnlted States Alwajs
Have Been Friendly.
PARIS, Dec. 1J. President Poincsra
baa talked unofficially with Jean JuleJ
Jusserand. French Ambasrador to the
l'nltod States: Myron T. Herrlck. United
States Ambassador to France, and
others of the possibility of his paying
a visit to the United States while in
office.
The suggestion was made to him first
privately by a friend, who Inquired
whether the President's visits to other
countries ouarht not to lneluf nn tn
the United States, pointing ont that
the relations between the two countries
always had been so agreeable and that
the Lnlted States was the sole republic
among all the other great powers.
Idea Impresses Pol a rare.
President Polncare received the sug
gestion sympathetically and took oc
casion In September to speak on the
subject to Ambassador Jusserand while
the Ambassador wss passing hlx holi
day in France. At other times the
President spoke of it with Ambassador
Herrlck.
The subject was also brought In
formally to the consideration of Presi
dent Wilson, who said it would give
the Government and the people of the
United States a great deal nf pleasure
to entertain President and Madame
Polncare.
The question was raised whether
President Wilson could promise lo pay
a return visit to Franee. and President
Wilson was quoted as saying- he saw
uo likelihood of being able to do so.
Coaaldrratloa o Vet Official.
No official discussion of the sugges
tion has taken pl:n-e. and it remains
for the present under private consider
ation. It is felt, however, at the Pal
ace of the Klyssne that such an ex
change of visits might be an admirable
way of lio Inc the unit)- of feeling
snd the good-will existing between the
two republics in somewhat the eame
way as the community of Interests be.

A number of Itinerant Taxicab Drivers have had their cahs
painted in exact duplication of the Oregon Taxicab Co.'s cars. The
reason is manifest, namely, to secure business from people who
think they aro getting into an Oregon Taxi.
The Oregon Taxicab Co. has brought suit against these itinerant
drivers, but until the suit is decided we urge taxi users to always
demand a brown cab of the Oregon Taxicab Co. Our taxies have
the monogram "0. T.' Co." on the door.
The Oregon Taxicab Co. has a standard schedule of prices, which
are reasonable as is consistent with good service and high-class

We employ sober and careful drivers and our cabs are the best
