Villa has been so consistently victorious for several months that he has gathered aboui him some 30,000 troops. If he Is able a house or store and making away with what plunder is available. It is difficult for the police to keep them always under eye as they work In pairs or squads, some keeping watch while others do the work. This Is undoubtedly the way In which the Llvengood and Gray Bros, stores were burglarized so boldlv, he thinks. An attempt was made Monday night presumably by burglars, to break in the Folsom furniture store alNO.

BOATS CRASH IN HEAVY FOG IN NEW YORK HARBOR PASSENGERS ARE" THROWN INTO PANIC RUT NONE ARE INJURED. NEW YORK. Jan. 2S. The heav iest fog in years caused two smashups here today and dire confusion in New- York bay. The Lackawanna ferry boat Scandinavian was rammed by a car float.

The Life Line Is conducted under the auspices of the American Baptist Publication Society and has been do ing splendid work. The boat was built through the efforts of Rev. Hall and cost 15000. It Is 40 feet In length and has a chapel for meeting purposes. The boat is operated by gasoline and the machinery is so ar ranged that Captain Hall can both pilot the boat and manage the engine from his station in the pilot house.

The Life Line has a territory to cover 100 miles In length, the popu lation consisting of dairy farmers, loggers and others In lumbering op erations. Three chapels have been formed at various points along the bay and river. Communication there is almost entirely by water and hence the value of the Life Line. W.
