BATURDAY, JULY 17, 1920. QUIT BEING | AN OUTLAW Life Valueless E Except as a Bandit, Says American Business Agent BY HERBERT COREY . EL PASO, July 17.—"Pancho wants to quit being a bandit,” sald Villa's friend. “But how can he quit?, To Quit would be just the same as bom mitting suicide. His hide would be @rying on tho fence within 10 days! @fter he had disbanded his army.” fothing in the whole Mexican situ at ts more hopelessty 14th cen tury than the ‘The leaders on both sides are gov Villa complication. | @rned by a code of ethics that passed | ‘out of fashion along with raplers and trunk hose, Ransom, bribery and as @assination are among {ts common No one seems to hate any! ¢ else—particularly—tor the busi.

BUSINESS MAN VILLA’S AGENT A very respectable and well liked @siness madn here is acting as inter Mediary between Villa and the pres- ent administration. Senor Elias Tor. Tes has been spoken of as the inter Metiary, but Senor Torres is what a Person addicted to horse racing would | call an “added starter.” He saw a chance to get a piece of the pie which his delicate senses told him was bout ready to go into the oven. But he returned from a visit to the Villa country unsuccessful. Villa did not @ffer to trade thru him. The intermediary is an American No one seems to have asked him to ‘Be an intermediary. He is a type of the live-wire American business man, “Who can see an opportunity before gets above the porizon. He knew that Villa wan’ Bandit. in consideration of a fat sum @f golden pesos—say a million or #0 to him in hand, well and duly paid He knows that the Mexican govern ment would leap at the chance to Duy Villa off for a million pesos or @o. It only remained to fix the terms. i STANDS WELL PEOPLE So he has been on the phone inter. ‘Mittently during the past peek, That May ecem surprising. Villa, it is x ool inderstood, is a bandit, and are not supposed to be pos @eased of the telephone and mailing Privileges. But the fact is that Villa, @= a bandit, stands out as well with People who know him as do the to quit being a} “Modern girts, particularly the col lege variety, are-so awfwly extrava. ey ® young man just can’t mar * that's what everyone says, x fli Mrs, John C.

John, “I wouldn't be in the city for any thing.” and she takes a kettle of aromatic—something ‘off the minia- ture range. “John is just as hungry as a bear When he comes home at night and I have never cooked be JAIL FOR constituted authoritiea This & surreptitious rap at the de la administration or Obregon. the Carransista authorities, ‘Were the last authorities of rec- in Mexico before Orebgon gained treated their victims quite Unpleasantly ae Villa did The difference was that Villa's was worth c2e hundred cents the dollar. “Bure, I'll quit.” te Villa's state “I want to quit All I ask $0 be shown how I can quit safe ‘Vila knows perfectly well that he "will be killed the very day that he “ean be killed safely. No word of “Bqnor given by the present adminis- FAration would bind a succeeding ad tion. It might not even bind Present administration. That is Bot the way the game is played in Even Villa's word has rusty @pots on it. When he promises pro- fection and is paid for it he delivers the goods, but there is many a man ead in the Mexican sands who would Be alive today if Villa had played fair. His ungovernable temper has made him break many a compact. Obregon himself is alive today be ause he-was able to “kid” Villa out of murder. * ORDERED OBREGON SHOT Obregon had visited Villa’s camp @a an emissary from Carranza. That {was back in the days when Obregon ‘Was as anti-American as Carranza himself, and long before the clash of two ee gmnincne had forced Obregon to duty as a pagrict in a new Sane, Villa had assured Obregon of gafe conduct, and the big man from ®Bonora had ridden into Villa's camp Wnarmed. No one evet suggested that Obregon is anything less than 100 per cent brave. The two could mot agred on terms. Villa fell into one of his black rages: “Take him out and shoot him,” ‘he “You can do that, of course,” said Wbregon calmly. “But it will not be to your credit.” Vill4 reflected and assented. But it was not because the deed itself dishonorable, but because others “would cali it dishonorable. Now he ‘declines to put himself in the power @f Obregon and de la Huerta and Callies, for he reasons they would kill Bitm with the best will in the world Gust 2s soon as they can get an as- @assin in shooting distance. That tfer of 100,000 pesos for Villa, dead er alive, which was made some time ‘Ago, still sticks in his craw. It still Stands, too, and the man who can ‘bring in his head can cash {t—per- haps. Gentlemen proposing to go out on expeditions to kill Villa are ad. ‘vised to make sure that the 100,000 Pesos are put up in safe hands befor they go to the expense of hiring gnules. WHY VILLA ‘WANTS AN ARMY “1 will quit,” Villa said, “if I am paid enough and if I am permitted to maintain an army sufficiently large to protect myself.” That is the true meaning of his insistence on being made military governor of Chihuahua. That would enable him to keep his band of Vil listas in being. The state would pay them some money and a convinced populace would pay the rest or Villa ‘would be presented with some ex- cellent reasons why not. But if Villa ‘were to attempt to keep up his army out of the amount to be paid him ‘by the state for coming in and’ being good—well, it costs money to keep @ private army. And the first y the army missed ita pay some patriot might take a shot at his gal Jant leader. “We will never consent to make ‘Villa military governor of Chihua- hus,” Obregon has eaid. Phat imn’t to be wondered at, either. @ military governor of the DENVER, Cole, July 17—Little Bobbie Jones, 4, son of Frank Jones, 1315 Acoma st., wanted to be rock- ed to sleep by his father Sunday night. His mother was trying to get him to go to sleep. For an hour or more the baby crie@ and for his father, and the mother patiently cooed and sang to him im an effort to quiet him. Finally the child's ecreama be came so loud that Jones got out of bed and went into the room to take the child from its mother. MOTHER RESISTS; LANDLORD APPEARS The mother resisted, a scuffle fol lowed and within a few moments the landlord,appeared on the acene A few minutes later the police arrived and Jones was arrested on a chargé of creating a disturbance. The child, mfely locked in its father’s arms, was quiet at last. In police court if the morning Mra. Jones appeared holding ‘the baby. She maid her husband had choked her and bent..her back over the baby’s crib, injuring her back While she was testifying the boy caught sight of his father. “Daddy, daddy, I wants you,” declared the richest mineral state m Merico would be as independent as a hog on ice Any time that the federal govern: ment displeased him he could start a rebellion, in which case the federal government would be none the better | off for the million or more pesos that might be paid Vila for kneeling at the mercy seat. More than that, Villa as a more or Jews hunted bandit in the moun he emphasis rests on the “leas” in that sentence—is not much more than an annoyance ta the federal government. But Villa as the head of the military resources of Chihanhau might well furnish the fulcrum from which the present ad. ministration might upset. HAS LITTLE CHANCE TO QUIT So there you are. Villa wants to quit, the administration wants him to quit. He demands a price—say one million golden the edmin- istration is willing to pay. But he wants to go right on living, and he does not see how this can be assured to him unless he is given an army all his own. ‘ And. with an army he would ih Seotir cagunen ree torch in @ powder magazine. The chances that Villa wil) go on betng a obnait for @ good many years to come. “He is very nervous,” General En- diquez told me. “He keeps one hand on his gun most of the time. No one is ever permitted to know where he sleeps, He is in constant fear of assassination.” bs Maybe Villa ie not quite so ner- vous as all that. A,friend who talked with him not long ago, described him as good tempered, calm and most matter of fact. But there is no doubt that he wanta to quit. “My wife lives in San Antonio,” he told a friend. “That is my real wife. She is the only woman I have ever loved. I want to go to her and have a home once more.” Ha! Ha! He! He! Says She to Law LOS * ANGELES, July 17.—Miss Ina Goldman, 18, and pretty, was ar- rested for laughing at @ cop, but she won't have to go to jail for it. Warned by the officer for some alight breach of public dance hall etiquet, Miss Goldman broke into such peals of happy gig@les that the cop called the wagon. Judge Richardson sen- tenced her to 30 days in jail for laughing at the law, but suspended weentence. “Keep away from dance halls until you're 21!” said the court.
