Mr. and Mrs. Morton will be at hrnno to frlenda until 10 o'clock to night. Mr. Morton arrived in Portland March 10, 186J, tinder contract with the old rommiaslon firm 'of Richards & Wc Craken. who at that time had their offices on. Front and Couch street. He served a Wad bookkeeper and man ager for the firm for nine years, and then bought pot a grocery business, which developed into what ia now WaUhams & Co. I,ater he engaged in other commission business, until lo year ago. when ill health brought on I front overwork forced him to retire. Hy a peculiar accident, his wife, who l.ad been blind, was able to see him plainly today. She had been totally blind for noma time, Recently she fell downstairs and the shock restored her sight. The couple were married in Kan Francisco. 44 yars ago, and both are in excellent health.

It GUARD TODAY AT OLD MILWAUKIE TAVERN Soldiers Who Took Posses sion Have Received No Word About Staying, Four militiamen pday guard the clubhouse of the Friar's club at Mll waukie, which was last night placed under martial law by a proclamation made by Governor West, who an nounced that he had taken the action because he waa convinced that the or ganization waa a fake and ia a "resort where men, women and young gtns congregate to Indulge In debaucheries." How long the guardsmen will remain on duty at the premises Is not known. Today they received no further orders and are enforcing the instructions re ceived yesterday when told to allow no one to enter the premises. The clubhouse was seised last night about 8:80, when Captain B. Moshber ger of Company I, Woodburn; Liauten. ant A. Q. Johnson, Sergeant 8. C. Boy tana and Private A. E. Salvin of Com pany D, Portland, arrived. The place was searched and a quan tity of whiskey, beer and soda was found' locked In a room. . J. Wilbur, in charge of the club, said the liquors belonged to private individuals and not to the club. He declared no liquor was sold on the premises and that the membership comprised several hun-i dred people. Liquor was purchased on the outside whenever an order for it was received, he stated. When the guardsmen arrived, eight men, who claimed not to be members. were found in the building. They were allowed to go. The officers found the bar dis mantled and no liquor In the room. They discovered two private dining rooms, screened off from the main one by portlers. Three bedrooms wero occupied by the club's employes, and other rooms, which formerly were bed rooms were vacant. The remainder of the building is given over to a dance hall, kitchen, parlor, etc. The three employes were allowed to remain over night and today are cook ing meals for the militiamen. During the evening several automo bile parties were turned away. liad turned traitor to Madero the year before and bad murdered American citizens. "The story that he executed 150 prisoners at Ban Andreas in 1913 and that he shot them after lining them up four deep Is absolutely Silly. He killed no one save those who had turned traitor to Madero. The Arellano boy ho was held for some months by Villa Is a son of a follower of Diaa and a man who was sentenced to prison under the Diaa regime for gov ernment frauds. The boy was mere ly held as a hostage to prevent the father from contributing money for the support of Huerta. Jose A. Yanes, an attorney of Chihuahua, was killed because he was known to have con spired against Villa. Yanei had a rep utation of being one of the biggest crooks In the state. Xnerta Killed YUla's mends. "Villa has killed many soldiers for merly in Madero s army who wero guilty of treason, but he has done this because the federals have murdered every prisoner they have captured. At Gall ego 90 soldiers who refused to join Huerta when he murdered Madero were executed by 90 rifle shots In less than 30 minutes. These men were formerly In Villa's brigade and many of them were his lifelong friends. "Villa has proven a friend of the Americans and I think he will always remain one. He has broadened out a great deal In the last few years owing to the teachings of Madero and haa but two alma In life to restore the Mexican national government and to obtain revenge on those guilty of the murder of his former chieftain, Fran cisco I.

BIDS FAR HIGHWAY CLATSOP COUNTY VILLA SAW THROUGH HUEETA'S SCHEME TO COMPEL AN INVASION respondence Between Self and General Maas, TAMPIC0 AFFAIR A PLOT TeUa Maas Be Will Not join Forces With Tfcoae Guilty ef Treason asd Infidelity. , ( Waited Prewi loused Wire.) Kl Paso, Texae, May 6. Tiie fed eral outposts at KaHUlo had already been engaged early today by General Pablo Gonzales' Mexican rebels, ac cording to u dispatch received here from Torreon. Only preliminary skir mishing was going on, however, it was stated, the main attack not hav ing begun. General Villa expected to join Gonsales this afternoon. Villa gave out the following cor respondence between himself and Fed eral General Maas over the union of their armies to repel an American In vasion. Maas' letter said: "To General Francisco Villa: I have received instructions to notify the rev olutionary chiefs that American Inter vention in Mexico ia an accomplished fact. The United States of the Xorth have committed a grave offense! against Mexico by disembarking troops in Vera Crua, April 21. and by taking similar action at Salina Cruz two days later. This act alone constitutes the initiation of war and this Is the su preme moment to call on the patriot Ism of all Mexicans to present a united front and forget our differences in the intense love of a country of which we are possessed. We can consider the enemy only as a foreigner who in the most unjust and ignoble manner has stepped upon the bply soil of our fath erland. CaU to Bepel Invasion. "It is well known that the North Americans, following the hypocritical and undignified conduct which they have used in all cases of intervention, have declared that they will not fight against the revolutionists, but only against the government, but it is I clearly to be seen that this conduct la ror no other purpose than to keep us divided and make easier their oon quests. As Mexican patriots we should not permit foreign nations to mix in our internal affairs, "We, therefore, call upon brothers to rally to the common cause for the de- iense or the national Integrity. You could not more nobly yield vour fir- ent position than for the purpose of tne rallying to the cause of the whole or Aiexieo rnat we all may march to gether against the invading Yankees. I have such faith in your patriotism that I do nor doubt that the forces of your command will rally to fight the invasion or tne Americans. I reiterate to you assurances of my distinguished consideration J. MAAS, of the Division of "General-in-Chief the Bravo, Saltillo, April 28." Villa Befnses Offer. General Villa's answer follows: "In answer to your letter of Anril 1 28, In which, in accordance with your instructions, you invite me to march with vou asainst th forei ino-inr. oi our country, i would say that I un derstand your actions fully and also the nresnnt diabolical mohinaH,.r.D t know that aa an accomplice you took part in the infidelity and treason of February, 1913 (Madero's death). This i8 perfectly well understood, and you should know that we cannot pardon it. and also know that it will be the causa 0r your ruin. 1 Tnererore give you this answer only because your official request and my answer are historical documents and I owe to posterity an explanation of my conduct. "I know that the dentil icos, by vari ous processes, have up to this time sought to bring about North American intervention In Mexico. It Is known i without -doubt that the coming of the j Americans was desired and provoked j by you. The manner in which you have I excited internal troubles - and then j called on all Mexico to help fight the j external troubles is clear to all the 1 world. To Blame for Starting- War. "General Huerta and you did not show much wisdom when you were converted Into Instruments of the cientlfioos and brought about the assassination of President Madero, Vice President Pino Suarez and some other liberal Democrats, because you did not realize that the blood of the heroes who started the Democratic movement in 1910 would cause a civil war which would lead to your ruin. "Now you desire to provoke a foreign war to save yourselves from the dis aster coming from the civil conflict. You show even less wisdom when you pile up mountains of machinations and lies which will crumble about your ears. Union With JJ. 8. Denied. "You have sought to make this union between yourselves and the con stitutionalists who are under arms and with the pretext of a foreign war you seek to arm many Mexicans whose sympathies are not with you, but whose patriotism you expect to exploit, without reflecting that you are about to arm a people who in justice would chastise your crimes. These same people, when they discover you are an assassin of democracy, you seek to win over by starting a war against a foreign nation to serve your personal Interests and those of your party, "It will soon be proved, that the Satanic declarations which you trattoTs to the fatherland have made In stating that we have formed a union with the North Americans is a stupid assertion which will cost you your existence and bring to your families an . eternal shame. ' "The constitutionalists have the de sire to do all possible compatible with the national dignity to avoid a foreign war. but if we are not able to avoid it. we will face two enemies, the powerful stranger and the depraved compatriots "For constitution and reform, "FRANCISCO VILLA, "General in Chief."

Urging that the surface or Alder street, from Sixth to Lownsdale streets, be patched Instead of entirely resur faced and that the city fix a policy of reconstructing streets by general tax atlon Instead of assessing the cost to abutting property owners, a number of property owners met with Commis sioner Dieck yesterday afternoon. Should the city commissioner listen to the plea of the Alder street prop erty owners acd charge the cost of re paving of wornout street to the entire city, either by a general tax or from the general fund, a new precedent will be established. According to engineers In the engi neering department in the past, streets were resurfaced, particularly those of asphalt construction, at the expense of the abutting property owners the same as entirely new improvements, the city contending that the property owners received benefits. The period of maintenancA on Alder street lias long since expired and the question haa arisen as to whether the property owners or the city as a whole should be required to pay the cost of resurfacing. Commissioner Dleck pointed out that it would be Impracticable to only patch the holes in the thoroughfare and pre sented., data to ihow that in some places the wearing surface of the pave meent is only of small thickness while in others has worn off completely. It was decided to allow proceedings for the Improvement to reach a point which will allow the property owners to remonstrate and then have the property owners put the matter before all of the city commissioners, with a view to settling the question definitely as to whether the property owners alope or the entire city should pay for reconstruction. A resolution was adopted by the property owners pointing out that the city as a whole should pay the ex pense. Among those signing the res olution are Y. F. Woodward, Leo Frlede, G. Rosenblatt, D. Soils Cohen, Robert Strong, Dr. C W. Cornelius, F. O. Downing, Abraham Tichner, L. Therkelsen and A. H. Maegly. MARKET PLAJJS ARE RAT1PEED Farmers Begin Selling Produce to Consumers May 10.
