Washing Machine Company Secures Lot for a Factory D. D. Rullman, who recently came here from St. Joseph to build a fac- tory for the manufacture of washing machines in Omaha, yesterday closed a deal with Harrison & Morton whereby he purchased two lots giving him 100 feet frontage on the Belt line, on the Twentieth street boulevard, about a block south of Ames avenue. Mr. Rullman expects to begin breaking ground the middle of next week for the construction of a factory with about 20,000 feet of floor, space. “We expect to be manufacturing by the middle of January or the first of February,” said Mr. Rullman. “We will employ twenty-five or thirty peo- ple and will have fiftecn men on the road. The factory will have a ca- pacity of 100 or 125 machines a day.” Cypress wood will be used in the manufacture of the wooden machines, while a copper body machine and a galvanized machine is also to be manufactured. Much of the mill work on the wood will be done in the mills of Arkansas and Virginia before the timber is shipped here, and much of the casting will also be done in the large foundries and steel mills of the east. The assem- bling will all be done here. Won't Open Dallot Boxes.

BULLS HAVE THEIR WAY New York, Nov. 25.—Overnight develop- ments of unusual-tmportance contributed in large measure toward the strength and ac- tivity of today's market, the general rise wiping out a very considerable part of the midweek’s recessional movement and restor- ing some prominent lssues, notably United States Steel, to maximum levels. The amicable understanding regarding liti- gation connected with the A aw and the adjustment of the Mexican situa- tion gave impulse to the bulls. Néxt to steel, coppers enjoyed speculative favor leaders gaining ! to 2 points, Utah opening 6 points up only a small part of which was relinquished. Utah securlties, the Harvester issues, Nova Scotia Steel Bulf States Steel, first pre- .| ferred, and American - Agricultural Chem- ical were among the less prominent issues, galning 4 to 10 points. Rails were the only fsaues of Importance to hold back. Among the few reversals were Bethle- hem Steel, which lost 19 points; Atlantic, Gulf & West Ind! ommon and preferred; Maxwell Motors and Montana Power, the latter losing but a small part of the pre- vious day's spectacular rise. Total sales of stocks, 785,000 shares. The bank statement fulfilled forecasts, an actual cash loss of more than $33,000,000 being accomplished by a further contrac- tion of $21,260,000 in reserves and reducing the total excess to $98,852,240, a loss in the last three wecks of more than $65,000,000.

Mexico Women, Said To Be Villa Spies, Shot; PE}_ Like Men Field Headquarters, American Puni- tive Expgdition, Mexico, Nov. 23 (Via Radio to Columbus, N. M., Nov. 25.— Margarita Acosta, one of the three women executed Wednesday morning at El Valle for alleged plotting against the life of Colonel Gonzales Diaz, chief of the Carranza garrison there, is supposed to have been in Villa's employ at that time. Letters and papers found on her, it is said.. indi- cated this. She is also said by the Carranza officers to have carried pa- pers signed by General Trevino. Sus- picions were aroused, it was said, by the woman’s actions and an officer was detailed to make an investiga- tion. She is said to have revealed a plot, which Carranza officers claim listed Colonel Diaz and even the in- vestigating officer himself, for assas- sination. The El Valle garrison, it was said. was to be turned over to Villa. The woman was called before Colonel Diaz Tuesday. She was fol- lowed by her sister and servant, Maria Castilla and Maria Reis. A search of her person is said to have been made and papers, a dirk and a pistol were taken from her, according to the offi- cers. | Early next morning the women were shot, dying bravely, the officers declared.

These two students pride themselves in being able to make some freshman go hungry for a day. But this time their delight is tusned to forcible gloom. This particular freshie, after having lost his lunch several times, used ipecac lavishly in his next noon meal and awaited re- sults. * As ipecac is almost tasteless and odarless, the ruse was effective. The boys were .not seen in classes the For Quick Profits B_UY SILVER KING of Arizona.
