Will Not Agree to Neutralize
Mexico City
THE FIGHTING CONTINUES
>( r. i?
Though Reported Decisively
Defeated and Driven Back
Villa at Head
General Carranza has notified the
United States through Consul Silliman
that he cannot agree to the neutralization
of either Mexico City or
the railroad from the capital to
Vera Cruz. The Villa and Zapata au
thorities had consented to both these
suggestions, made by the American
State Department.
General Carranza refused to include
Mexico City from the fields of
operations on the ground that it is an
j objective point in his military campaign.
Military reasons also are given
for the refusal to neutralize the
railroad.
A protest against a decree issued
at Chihauhau providing for the for|
feiture of mines on which taxes are
not paid or on which development
work is suspended beyond a fixed date
has been lodged with Villa officials
by the State Department. The department
issued a statement tonight
pointing out the hardships that would
be imposed on companies in compelling
them to operate their mines
| when either the conditions of the work
or the political situation 'would make
| operation unprofitable.
Information Lacking.
Definite information as 1 to the
progress of the campaign in the region
of Iraquato in which General
Villa is leading his troops in person
against the Carranza forces i nder
General Obregon, still are lacking
late today.
A report today from Consul Canada
at Vera Cruz said news received
there was interpreted by * Carranza
officials as indicating that h decisive
victory had been won. "It was intimated
on the 8th" said the message,
"that fighting was still in progress
notwithstanding thai, the enemy had
been driven northward 80 kilometers,'
the statement adds.
"The bells in Vera Cruz were rung
Thursday afternoon to colebrate the
reported victory." *
Villa supporters here insist that
private advices indicate that Obregon
forces are in a desperate plight.
o
Gives Report.
An official statement issued last
Wednesday by the Turkish war office
says: * - "
"No serious attack was made yesterday
by the enemy on the Darndanelles.
The day before two hostile
cruisers bombarded our batteries at
the entrance to the straits, but without
result. One of the enemy's cruisers
and one torpedo boat were
struck by our shells."

J. \Y. TODD COMES
tYith Heply to Kecetit Article of W.
11. Lewis Concerning Case.
Mr Editor:?As Mr. W. H. Lewis
has seen lit to bring up what the people
of Horry County had considered
inhumed in the past as a case long
ago decided, and as 1 see you offer
him all needed space to further dis
cuss the matter, I ask fqr space to
explain a few points which, those latter
days and his article briny; to light.
He seems to be well pleased at the
results of the trial but simply wants
to give the Editor a littlo "brushing
up" for an impartial report. In the
first place what was the trouble with
the Lewis boys if they were not
drunk? What was it they drew from
their pockets at different times during
that day and held off which popped
like pistols? Oh! where the carcass
is there will the eagles be gathered
togther. Where there is wine
there is some one to go and hunt
trouble, like the report went to show,
as the Lewis boys came along on that
Sunday passing some parties by the
road, saying, "Come with us to Jim
Todd's anil let's raise h?1 and kill
some one today or be killed," so the
report went. As to reputation of the
Todds as users of intoxicants, will ask
any one interested, who does, not
know, to come in this section of the
County and inquire if the Todds arc
the only drunkards. The boys were
seen at several places that day with
pistols and roports of the weapons
hoard us-welL Eibert Todd went to
the gang for trying to defend his fatnAv'fi
hnmo nt-irl nnvm( mn /-?
~ ..vuv| HUM lllll IMC IV OIIVO
why: First the Todd's reputation as
stated by the Editor; second, one of
the jury, (while I do not attempt to
question, the varacity of Mr. Lewis's
statement that the jury was composed
of some of the County's best men)
had a relative connection not known
at that time by.my attorney or myself,
yet Mr. Lewis says, "Surely
they could have had no feeling in the
matter." There's the secret of the
fact that Elbert Todd is today a convict
and his wife and children being
in the distressed condition they arc
today. 1 have all good feeling for MiLewis
and am satisfied at the verdict
as I believe the jury knew their
business and attended to it as best
they could under the circumstances.
This brings the old sentence to
memory, being taught to, "Laugh
not at your enemy's downfall.'" And
it is useless to reiterate the fact that
the Todd's are one short, also the
Lewises, and if I and Mr. Lewis
humor this passion, to hold out before
the world enmity towards each other,
and speak not to oach other in this
body of clay, what conditions shall we
meet at God's judgment bar in the
final day. nVThat hideous picture" is
still displayed if you look upon the
convicted man's wife and children.
Mr. Lewis's article might bq judged
if looked at closely, to be more of the
"future tense" than past recollections
if some one will read tli9 iast paragraph.
I shall not ask space for any
further version of the matter, unless
f 1 ? 1
steps of Mr. Lewis in the near future
make it absolutely necessary, as I do
not believein using space of a good
newspaper to discuss wKat has long
been decided by a jury and sealed bv a
Judge, and placed on Court records.

paper has obtained from Chief J. W.
Little, the complete list of the memi
hers and the positions they occupy as

when Mr. Little was elected as chief
of the fire department, he at once took
steps to reorganize the company and
establish an efficient system of handling
the equipment placed in the hands
of the department. He took pains and
spent a good deal of time studying
out the best way to arrange the
members and to decide just who he
wanted for this place and that in the
actual workings of the company.
Following is the complete list of
membership and the positions that
each occupies in the company:

Intends to Raise Submarine.
"
Secretary Daniels was determined
last' week to raise the sunken submarine
Ft-4 in Honolulu harbor no matter
what the operation may eost. He
wanted to learn the cause of the accident
so as to avoid similar disasters
in the future.
This was made known after advices
had been received from Rear Admiral
Moore at Honolulu, which said that
preparations were being made to
raise the submarine by the pontoon
method. This indicated that the submarine
evidently was waterlogged
and therefore too heavy to be raised
by the equipment previously employed.
Officials have already abandoned
hope that any of the submarine crew
of 21 men might be found alive.
Secretary Daniels announced that
in the event of the failure of efforts
then being made to raise the submarine
the Navy department would send
the necessary enninmoiu tn miao !->??*
^ - -J J w . ?IV*?
I Tip said there was no truth in reports
that he was dissatisfied,with the work
of naviil authorities at Honolulu. On
tho contrary, the secretary said that
they were doing everything possible
to raise the submarine.
