She had suf- fered so much that she had apparent- 1v lost all sense of fear. Because sh suffered in silence and held herself | aloof, she was called “Laroyna, Queen of the Villi by the troops. Villa lad told one of the officers that he preferred to have her die of exhaus- tion rather than to kill her outright— and because she proved to be able to withstand hardships better than his own men promised he would release her after he had sacked Columbus. He also agreed to give her $100 gold and a permit to travel unmolested throughout any part of Villa terrl- tory. ¥Expects Germany and Japan to Help. “Villa only talked to me twice,” Mre.

Washington, March 11.—Henry Gassaway Davis, former United States senator from West Virginia and vice presidential candidate the demo- cratic ticket in 1904, died here early today aged 93 year: Mr. Davis was ken with grippe about a fortnight ago while on visit to his daughter, Mrs. Stephen B. account of his ad- | was unable to withstand on a vanced age, Funeral arrangements were being completed today. Interment will bhe at Elkins, W. Va., home of the for- mer senator. A Great American. Senator Henry Gassaway Davis wit- nessed and participated in the great political epoch of American progress for more than three-quarters of a century. He was the “old fashioned gentlemai in the Senate. His ut- terances were those of the old Jeffer- sonian days. “Liberty and free government have always been secured at the cos of great sacrifices,” he said on one oc- casion. “But history teaches us that both can be easily lost without the knowledge of the people.” It is significant that he was born in the same year, 1823, at Woodstock, | Md.,; that the Monroe Doctrine be- | came a fundamental principal in American politics. During his dis- tinguished career he fought to main- tain it. He later represented the United States at two Pan American | conferences at which by his person- | ality and speeches he strove to | | | strengthen the bonds of friendship be- tween North and South America. Senator Davis' active political ca- reer began the year after the Civil He was. clected a member of delegates from West Virginia to the nomination hall on seven occasions, probably a record for such service. ° Teamed With Alton B. Parker. A year after he had retired volun- tarily from the senate, he was urged to become candidate for vice pre: dent on the ticket with Grover Clev¢- land. He declined. He accepted the nomination, however, as running mate with Alton B. Parker and thusg became the oldest candidate aged 81, ever selected for the office. The venerable senator was not only a democrat in politics, but he ‘was a democrat, in nature. He was the champion' of liberty. “Imperialism is hurtful and ab- horrent in a free government,” he declared when accepting the nomina- tion for vice president in the St. Louis convention of 1904. “The policy of imperialism is always dangerous to liberty.” Bread Winner for Family The great wealth of Senator Davis, estimated at $30,000,000 was acquired by his far-sightedness and his ability to take advantage of opportunities. | He was eldest of five children, and at an early age, on his father's death, became the bread-winner of the fam- ily At 19 yvears of age he W farm hand on a Maryland plantation, having relinquished opportunities for an edueation in favor of his younger children. © His great husiness career began when he became brakeman on 2 freight train. His rise was rapid. At that time railroad trains did not run at night—it was too dangerous. At the approach of dusk they made for the nearest stations ‘and waited for sunrise. “It is a waste of time,” insisted voung Davis, who was then master of transportation. He startled the veteran operators by sending out the first night train between Baltimore and Cumberlana. It marked a new epoch in railroad ing. Davis increased his wealth and fame rapidly. As a merchant, he made a small fortune. Then a a landholder in West Virginia, he came into pos: ion of coal lands which were destined to make him n prince of wealth.

Villa Spy Arrested. Pablo Sanchez, arrested with nalling Mexicans across the border, vesterday, and held as a spy, will be charged with aiding an enemy while on the soil of the United States The murder charges against the Villa sol- diers, Stone declared, would lie be- cause the raid was carried aut, not by recognized belligerents, but by ban- dits whose leader was a man who had been, proscribed by the de facto gov- ernment of a country with which the United States was not at war.
