Terrazas
t
Mexican Tfattleman Sup-
posed Agent of Castillo
Is Arrested in Juarez.
JUAN TERRAZAS is believed to have
been executed in Juarez Monday
night by order of Villa.
Terraxas Is a Mexican cattle agent
and is no relation of Gen. Luis Ter-
razas. He was arrested on the streets
in Juares Monday afternoon and taken
before Villa by the soldiers. Villa
called in a number of his friends wbo
are familiar with conditions In north-
western Chihuahua where Terrazas
has been operating and asked their
opinion of him. It developed at this
Informal trial that Terrazas was an
agent of Castillo in getting cattle out
of the country. It was also reported
that he was in ch&rsre or the larare
herd of cattle which had been rounded l
up by Salazar and other federal com-
manders and had been sold by them to
Juarez butchers. Terraxas was identi-
fied as the man who was associated
with Castillo and was accused of being
a spy by some of Villa's Mexican ad-
visers in Juarez.
Villa is reported to have said: "That
Is enough; I don't want to hear any
more. Take him away."
He was ordered taken to Jail late
Monday afternoon and it was reported
that Terrazas wa8 executed later in
the evening at the prison patio. The
condemned man was a cattle buyer in
the Santa Clara district and well
known to El Paso cattlemen.
Where In Sandoval?
"Was Francisco L Guzman who was
reported to have been executed in
Juarez Sunday night In reality Lie
Luis Bonales Sandoval?
This question has been worrying the
friends of the Mexico City attorney
since Saturday when he checked out
at the Paso del Norte and has not been
seen since. Sandoval was here en route
to Chihuahua to see Villa and was
traveling under an assumed name.
When he returned from Chihuahua he
registered at the hotel under his right
name. He was last seen in El Paso on
Saturday morning when he paid his
bill at the hotel and Inquired about
the trains to San Antonio. The clerks
at the city ticket office of the G. H.
eay that Sandoval who was known to
them has not bought a ticket to San
Antonio from their office and there
was no sleeping car reservation made
in his name on the chart at the Sunset
office.
Sandoval Was 'Warned.
Lie. Sartdoval was warned by his
friends that he was going: on a danger-
ous mission when he left here for
Chihuahua to see Villa presumably as
the agent of Felix Diaz. If the man
who fs reported to have been executed
in Juarez Sunday night is not Sande-

DOHENY PRAISES
WILSON POLICY
Sav DeB-enr Properties Have Suffered
BHt lie Thlnkn 'Wilson Has
Taken the Right Stand.
- Washington D. C Feb. 3. The
policy of president Wilson with re-
gard to Mexico is satisfactory to
Americans in the ol1 district of Tam-
pico according to statements made
here' today by Edward L. Doheny of
Los Angeles the pioneer and largest
single holder of oil lands in Mexico.
"T certainly indorse the policy of
president Wilson" said Mr. Doheny.
- a. neutral and impartial method
r ti-AAtinc the Mexican situation. 1
think this is the view held by all
in..iMn. in the Tampico district."
The feature of the president's policy
that seemed to command Mr. Dohenys
warmest approval is its neutrality to-
ward the contending factions. This he
said has had the result of saving:
Americans tn Mexico for the most
part from the enraily of either side.
"They have occupied our properties"
said Mr. Doheny "sometimes one side
sometimes another; they have taken
our horses our cattle and whatever
money they have been able to find in
our safes they have tpken away our
rifles and ammunition- and have com-
mandeered our boats and our employes
to operate them; they have eaten our
food whenever they appear on our
properties and have beaten up some
of our people but they have not set
fire to our oil. or destroyed our prop-
erty otherwise and they hRve not
killed any of our people."
Mr. Doheny said his visit to Wash-
ington has nothing to do with Mexican
matters Ie said he had not yet filed
claims for losses suffered as a result
of the revolution. His plants are
producing at nearly the maximum
capacity of 60000 barrels a day.

The rebels in Juarez are getting am-
munition daily from the American
side in spite of the vigilance of the
Lnited States soldiers. Carload after
carload of ammunition is arriving In
El Paso from the ammunition houses
in the east This ammunition -is never
shipped further than El Paso and there
is little of it actually carried in stock
on the shelves of the ammunition
stores. The general supposition. is that
this ammunition percolates through
the patrol line and lands in the rebel
cuartel in Juarez. The government of-
ficers admit that much ammunition is
being smuggled across the river above
.nd hPlow El Paso but they are pow-
the showing made by The 'ESSE and eriess to stop it except at the source.

"Big Hole'' in the Island.
The little Island near the El Paso
'foundry is known to the border gun
runners as the "Big Hole" because so
much ammunition has been taken
across there since the Villa revolution
started. This island is on the Ameri-
can side of the river but is on the
Mexican side of the line. If the am-
munition is once crossed over the line
it does not have to be taken across
the river but may be left in one of tho
little adobe houses on the Mexican
side and delivered later. A regular
traffic in ammunition has been carried
on at this point and thousands or
rounds are said to have been crossed
near the fcmndry to be left In the high
bruan and later cartbd to the Juarez
barracks. The patrol at this point Is
not sufficient to prevent the smugglers
from operating and army men say that
it would require a full regiment of
soldiers to stop this leak in the line.
Much Crossing Near Smelter.
A- ford near the Guaderrama store
and opposite the brick plant at the
smelter settlement is another place
where quantities of ammunition are re-
Ported to have been crossed. The in-
ternational line there is near the little
brown adobe house which Madero used
as his "little white house" during the
Madero revolution. Once the gun run-
ners get their ammunition and guns
across the line at this point it is easy
for them to load the munition onto
the backs of mules and freight it in
to Juarez over the river road on the
Mexican side. A nightly pack mule
train is said to have been plying be-
tween the line at the little white house
and Juarez carrying the fruits of the
smugglers' efforts.
Women and Children Help.
Women and children have been en-
listed In the ranks of the border am-
munition runners. The women are
carrying ammunition across the river
in flour sacks under their outside
dresses. The phlldren are being used
to relay the ammunition to the riTer
front. They are told to deliver the
contraband ammunition to some little
Mexican store or home on the river
front where It is easily sneaked across
after dark.
The rebels in Juarez it is claimed
have offered to pay ?5 each for rifles
delivered on the Mexican side. They
agree to buy the rifles on this side
through their confidential agents to
be delivered to the smugglers on this
side.

BORDER PATROL
IS COMMENDED
Secretary of War Wires Gen. Bliss to
Bxtend His CengratBlatleas
To Mea Under Him.
Washington T. C Feb. S. Secre-
tary of war Garrison has made pub-
lic the following letter written to
Brig. Gen. Tasker H. Bliss command-
ing the United States forces on the
Mexican border commending him for
his conduct of the situation.
"I have just been going over the
reports concerning the arrangements
made for the thousands of Mexican
refugees at El Paso. This brought
back to my mind the nature and char-
acter of work which you and those
under you have ( been performing for
so long a time in such an unexcep-
tionable manner. I am impelled to
give expression to the appreciation
that X and all others of those who
know the situation have of the high
character of the service rendered.
"It would be difficult to conceive of
mere embarrassing circumstances than
those existing along the border dur-
ing the time in auestion; even slight
mistakes were likely to have mo-
mentous consequences. The service
called for intelligence courage ac-
tivity and the exercise of a rare degree
of wisdom. That you and the men
-working under you have possessed and
used effectively all of those qualities
Is a matter of the greatest pride to
me as the head of the department and
to all of those who know the worth
of the army and are glad ta see it
publicly demonstrated.
"You have had under your jurisdic-
tion over a thousand miles of border
to patrol and have had to meet and
dispose of questions of the most dif-
ficult and delicate character almost
daily. That you have done so in a way
to win universal approbation of your
course entitles you and all of those
under you who have so efficiently
aided you not only to my thanks but
to those of the country that I and
you represent in this ragard.
I will be pleased if vou will com-
Bunlcate the substance of this letter
to the officers and men under your
command so that they may know that
their service is appreciated at its real
value."

mittee the navy department in its ef-
forts to balk the exorbitant exactions
of home battleship plate producers
has been unable to get a bid from for-
eign "manufacturers. (
"Although you cannot establish It"
the secretary told the committee
"there is no doubt an armor plate trust
exists all over the world. That is to
say the people abroad who make armor
plate will not come here and submit
bids because they know if they do our
manufacturers will go there and sub-
mit bids. They have divided the world
like all Gaul into three parts."
"Would you De wining to ouna two
more battleships with the knowledge
that these corporations could beat the
government out of much money on ar-
mor plate rather than wait until we
-could get a reasonable price?" asked
representative Witherspoon of Missis-

at the next bidding we can get the
prices down even if we do not build
our own armor plant."

PILL TXES FULL
SnOITJIS YEAR
Are Fr Below the Figures
of Two Years Ago For
the County.
Just 7170 poll tax receipts were issued
for the year 1913 according to the of-
ficial count made by collector Will I.
Watson. The number is 1&30 less than
the number that was issued two years
.ago that number approximating 8700.
Of the number issued this year. 572S
were to voters of the city. The remain-
der were issued to the voters in the
county precincts. Of the total number
issued 6505 were paid poll taxes and
665 exemptions. The falling off in the
payment of poll taxes is credited to the
fact that there was no election on and
the little agitation that has been made
by either the "ring" or "anti-ring" in
the coming county campaign.
