—"VUHi should be hunted down

ing of the 17 Americans who were

shot down .it San Ysabel Jan. 16. j

"The administration seems to

think he 1b responsible," added

the senator to the correspondent

of The Times.

Senator Fall's fiery words

were uttered as the capital was

stirred by the startling news that

tin- authorities of El Pa*o were

having a hard time to restrain en

raged Americans from organizing

a regiment of cowboys and other

civilians to swarm across tlie

border and "clean up the greas

erß."

Here is Senator Fall's Rtate

nient In full:

"If Villa is lespoiiHlble for

the killfiiK of the Americans

at San Ysal>el he should be

hunted down and klHed act a

murderer and bandit.

"The adniinifttration seems

to think Villa Is responsible.

I personally would not con

fine my recommendation to

Villa,

"1 should nay whoever is

i**|K>nsible should be exe

cuted for this crime."

VILLA DKIIKS FOKB

EL PASO, Jan. 20. — From

Villa's stronghold in the Sierra

Madres today came a defi to Car

"Come get. me,'' was the sub

stance of the rebel's challenge,

passed by word of mouth to the

Carranzistas waging a campaign

of extermination against the

bandits.

The leaders believe Villa in

tends to make a last-ditch fight

and scarcely expect to take him

alive.

Already some hidden stores of

ammunition hare been captured,

besides some of the bandits. 'The

execution of several is slated to

take place in Chihuahua today.

The number includes several re

MAYOR

FIAYS

POLICE

Declaring that the county offi

cials were making successful ralda

under the very (loses of the fa

coma police, Mayor Fawcett today

asserted that the police adminis

tration wag utterly frilling to cope

with the illicit sale of liquor.

Because so many police offiecrs

"stand in' 1 with persons engaged

in operating blind pigs, the mayor

said, citizen* need not expect the

department to make any success

ful crusade to enforce the prohi

bition law in this city.

Point* to Heattle.

Fawcett commented bitterly on

the so-called raids already con

ducted by the police in which no

liquor has been found.

"I don't believe the police de

partment lias any intention o( en

forcing the law," he said.

"I have always maintained that

the department Is rotten, and I

believe that the public is getting

a sample of its rottenness right

now. Just see what the police are

doing in Seattle, while our own

officers say that they cannot find

any booze.

Another Raid Kl/./l<w.

Acting on Information furnish

ed by the mayor, a squad of detec

tives last night raided the OHdc

hotel, 16th and Commerce streets.

The officers found a cum of

beer that had just arrived by ex

press and still had the Pierce

county permit attached to it. No

other liquor win found.

The mayor's information came

In an anonymous letter which

charged the hotel with selling

liquor and with improper conduct.

Neither charge was substanti

ated by an investigation, accord

ing to acting Chief Smith.

Although Chief of Police

Loomis will be noiu Ined to the

Oh, see the nice train! Where is the train going? It is going to San Fran

cisco. It left at 10:50 this morning! From where did it leave? It left from

Tacomal ,

Were there Tacoma people aboard? There were! Will Tacoma people

jet on the train when it leaves San Francisco to come back to Tacoma? They

will.

Do they pay good money for traveling on the train? They do. Does the

company make a nice profit from the business given it by Tacoma? It does.

Which company is it? The Oregon-Washington.

What train is it? The Shasta Limited, leaving Tacoma every day with

Tacoma passengers and Tacoma money.

What persons ride on the beautiful train? A few millionaires whose

pocketbooks are not dented a bit by unfair rate charges and others whose

business requires them to go that way.

What do the officers of the company do in return for the business they get

from Tacoma people?

They join with the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific to keep tourists

away from Tacoma by giving a lower round-trip rate to San Francisco via

Los Angeles and San Diego.

Is that a knock for Tacoma or a boost? It is a knock.
