, Juarez, Keb. 3. General Villa showed
hot the slightest compunction today
for the death of Francisco Guzman,
whom he either shot or had shot yes
terday after conferring with him bjief
lv In the house he has made his head
quarters here. ,
Guxman, he declared, was a spy
worse than a traitor and deserved to
die.
The dead man Was just from Havana
and the story is that lie came to Villa
with a proposition to renounce Gen
eral Carransa as rebel leader and throw
his strength to Felix Diaz. Villa al
lowed him to make it in detail. Then
accounts differ-he shot him to
death or ordered him 'executed Imme
diately. One version is that he listened si
lently while his visitor stated his case
and as he concluded, whipped out his
pistol and fired three bullets through
lils heart a his onlv answer. An
other Is that lie had hjm led Into the
front yard of the house where they
met and that a rebel officer shot him
there at . Villa's command.
" In hi official report to General
Carranza. Villa stated that Guzman
was regularly court-martialed, con.
demned and shot to death.
Replying to reports that ho was
planning to attack Monterey instead of
TOrreon, Villa said today that he would
be guided by circumstances. He would
move on Monterey first if it seemed
better to do so. he explains., but at the
.niininent he did not consider the time
quite ripe for attempting the capture
or either place.
f Reports were current that he had re

After March 1 no performers of any

thrown on its attitude in regard to
pleas by eastern railroads for permis

railroads and of the shippers here to
day. Commissioner Harlan, represent

services which he declared the rail

pers." He declared the commission
soon will set a date for a hearing,
when it' will consider the question of
making 'a reasonable charge for such
services. His intimation was that, in
this added revenue, the railroads' plea
of insufficient earnings might be met.
Commissioner-Harlan directed atten
tion to the commission's recent refer
ence to the -fact that the railroads
might gain $15,000,000 annually by
charging for services to industrial
plants on private spur tracks.
"I shall not yentureY' said Harlan,
"to estimate what it costs the car
riers to render these services or esti
mate the revenues that might accrue
for these services under charges all
would regard as reasonable.
"No well informed person doubts
that the discontinuance of these free
services wo.uld save millions of ex

should be measured and be made to

Theodore, it was stated, fled to Cape

It was said that Zamor was gathering

The latest development embarrassed

feared, too, that the prospective at

five companies in 1907, but the net

the McNeil li.land penitentiary, and
Humphreys and McWhorter were let
off with light sentences.
Hodges, making a statement before
he was sentenced, told of some of the
transactions and inner workings of
the Orchards company. Hodges de
clared that as trust officer cf the com
pany he .had not signed any of the
deeds that he had not assured himself
were backed by the wa,ter and other
mortgages that were securities of the
compan and proven worthless at the
Biehl trial.
He had only DeLarm's sworn state
ment that the mortgages were bona
fide. he said. He said he kept an ab
solute record in a red book of every
bond transaction, which he sent to De
Larm when he quit the company. The
government was urtiable to ever get a
complete record, of. . bond Rales. He
never made jnore than $300 out of hi
company connection, he declared, and
when he came back from the Hawaiian
Islands after his resignation from the
company he had Just 65 cents.
Judge Bean in kenterjeing, said he
was juif familiar with the circum
stances, thorugh the Biehl trial and
the suit' of Tobey brothers of Wallowa
county to set aside a mortgage of the
Columbia River Orchards company on
their ranch, which they had made se
curity for some orchard bonds.
Giltper said he believed Hodges was
"eulpjbly negligent." but he did not
believe him of a degree of guilt com-
parable to Biehl or DeLarm. He asked
the mercy of the j-ourt because Hodges
had voluntarily Returned from Canada
and saved the government much ex
pense, and' had in addition pleaded
guilty, saving expense of a trial.
United States Attorney Reames said
Hodges had several 'times communi
cated with him during his exile. Once,
he said. Hodges' attorney said his cli
ent's health was bad and asked if
Hodges could travel through Oregon
on his way to California without be
ing molested by government officers
altnougn speaking
which could.be gien to the press for
publication. "I had no Information ss "
to Bourne's plans,' said Mr. Hodson
this morning, "but;I thought It a mat
ter of Interest to the. general public
and so asked htm, what he expected Jo '
do." 3 : : 7
