Washington D. CL Sept. 17.—Chief
of Police Agapito Peres of Tuxpan

arrested on orders of General Murguia
accused of complicity in the recent rob-
bery of the Tuxpan office of the Penn-

ration. it was announced in official ad-
vices reaching Washington today. Prac-
tically all the members of the robber
band numbering 28 have been arrested
and the prisoners without exception the
dispatches said bare declared under
oath that Lieutenant Colonel Rodriguez
was in command of the band at the time
of the robbery and personally directed
the work.
The robber* secured about $40000
gold of which it is said Chief of Police
Perez received $2500. The arrests were
the result of General Murguia’s promise
1 of support to the oil men if they could
prove that any soldier or civil official
participated in any way in the frequent
robberies of Americans in the oil re-
gions. A number of officials of the oil
companies in the Tampico and Tuxpan
districts quickly rounded up the robbers
moat of them soldiers and turned them
over to Murguia. They then told him
of the complicity of the police chief and
tbe army officer who were then con-
. fronted by the arrested robbers. The
latter did not retract their charges when
brought face to face with the accused
and General Murguia placed both of
them under arrest.

OH! FOR RELIEF
FROM FLAMING
SKIN DISEASES
Terrifying Itching Causes !
Continuous Torture.
Do you sometimes feel like
you will scream if you do not
get relief from the tormenting
and terrifying itching and ir-
ritating burning that makes
you feel like your very skin is
ablaze?
Possibly your disorder has
not reached the torturing
stage as yet but there are
'Akunina nds of victims of skin
diseS* t that know too well
the almost unendurable pain
that comes from eruptions ir-
ritations pimples boils ul-
cers eczema psoryasis car-
buncles ant the numerous
other forms of torment that
aUack the delicate tissues of
tin: skin.
The only proper method of
treatment for any disease is a
remedy that will reach its
source that will remove its
cause and not simply palliate
its symptoms. Many forms of
akin ailment come from a col-
ony of millions upon millions
of tiny disease germs that in-
fest the blood. Naturally
then these germs must be
eradicated from the blood be-
fore a cure can be expected.
You know well enough that
you cannot reach the blood

the work of Villa followers. Monson's
report was brought to El Paso by an
American employe of the Potosi Mining
Company. Ten men. of a detachment of
60 under command of Captain Ruiz
participated in the affair according to
Monson who said the victims were
treated with all possible consideration.
Monson was released on his promise
to return with the ransom money.
Before his release he talked with
Captain Ruiz who told of participating
with his men in the battle of Juarez.
June 15-16 last. The Villa commander
said the rebels cherished no resentment
against the Americans for their inter-
ference in the Juarez affair which he
claimed cheated Villa of a well-earned
victory.
Dr. Smith who was released at Or-
tiz by his captors was supposed to be
in Chihuahua City today.
Baptist Collections Begin.
Committees are being appointed by
Supt. E. F. Walker of the First Bap-
tist Church Sunday School to solicit
clothes and money to the extent of a
carload of goods if possible. The matter
is being taken up with every teacher
and member of the Sunday School and
will be presented before the church
Wednesday night at the prayer meeting
service by the superintendent and pas-
tor. Cars will be sent to the home*
and business houses to collect the cloth-
ing and Ms Walker and Dr. Gates a-k
that all members and friends of the
Sunday School assist with cars. All
contributions will be brought to the
First Baptist Church at the corner of
Taylor and Fourth Streets and then
will be turned over to proper authori-
ties. Those unable to deliver their con-
tributions are asked to call Crockett
6432 ar Crockett 7566 and cars will
be sent immediately.

salves washes and other local
applications to the surface of

such treatment for your tor-
menting skin diseases the
most you can expect is a tem-
porary discontinuance of the
pain which promptly returns
and keeps’ you constantly ap-
plying the local remedies
making no progress whatever
toward permanently ridding
yourself of the disease.
Why longer continue such
makeshift treatment? Go to
your drug store today and get
a bottle of S. S. S. the reli-
able blood purifier and begin
a treatment that will prove
satisfactory as it has to thou-
sands of others who were af-
flicted just as you have been
S. S. S. has been used for
more than fifty years so that
you are not experimenting
when you take it. It will coun-
teract the germs that attack
the skin and its tonic proper-
ties will build up th* general
health.
Don’t continue to suffer
but begin taking S. S. S. to-
day and write our head phy-
sician who will give you full
instructions about your own

Save 13 Refugees From
Corpus Christi and
Recover Bodies.
FEED ALL SUFFERERS
Five Other Trains Are
Caught in Storm Without
Food Supplies.
Members of a homeseeker party en
route from Kansas City to Kingsville.!
stalled early Sunday morning a few I
miles south of Odem reached San An-!
tonio Tuesday evening with stirring ac-
counts of the hurricane in the center of
the devastated area. Their train car-
rying officials of the Stewart Irrigated
Farms project and 55 people from ter-
ritory surrounding Kansas Citv. among
them eight women weathered the storm
in passenger coacnes and at the first
signs of abatement organized relief par-
ties and scoured the country for miles
around. They recovered 17 or 18 bodies j
and rescued thirteen refugees.
In addition to feeding the refugees
most of them from Corpus Christi the
home«eeker diner furnished food for the
passengers of five other trains stalled
on the St. L. B. & M. road at the same
place organizing coffee brigades for
this work.
Bring Touching Stories.
Rescue parties brought back many
touching stories. One of them was of a
young girl a pretty child of about 13
who had spent 24 hours on a raft car-
ing for her nine-year-old brother.
A soldier finding himself in a field
about five miles from Odem looked up
and saw a girl hung on a barbed wire
fence. He thought she was dead but
just then she saw him.
"If you ever do anybody in your life
a good turn.” she said to him "it will
be when you get me down off this
fence.”
"I've just fallen off a raft myself
he retorted "but I’ll get you off.”
Neither was badly hurt tlwmgh both
were exhausted. They made their way
to a ranch house mid were later found
there and taken to the train by a party
of homeseekers.
Rescue work was organized by C. L.
C. Ladd of Kansas City an agent of
the homeseeker company. The first res
cue was that of J. G. Griffith 66 years
old a fisherman of the reef at Conms
Christi who during the heavy rain and
rising of the storm was cast afloat after
an unsuccessful attempt to rescue an
invalid woman in a bouse on the North
Beach. He and three other men moved
her to the second floor of the building
while the waters were rising four feet
in almost as many minutes. They were
compelled to take her to the roof the
house was broken up and Griffith saw
his companions drown. After 24 hours
fighting for his life in the water tie
was cast ashore and began making bis
way inland toward Odem. At one place
Griffith said he saw 20 or 30 rattle-
snakes congregated on a floating tree.
Feet Are hull of Thorns.
His feet were filled with cactus
thorns which it took Agent Tanner al-
so with the hotneseeker train 45 min-
utes to pick out after he had been res-
cued.
Seventeen or eighteen bodies were
found in the fields near the ranch house
south of Odem where most of the res-
cues were made.
"We had to leave them there.” Tan-
ner said.
"I never saw so many dead animals
in my life. Windmills everywhere were
flattened down and many farm build-
jpgs were wrecked.
"Our train was running late or 1
think we would have all been lost as
we were stalled just at daybreak Sun-
day by the washouts south of the line.
■From the ear windows Sunday
morning we could see hundreds of cat-
tle struggling in the water and one by
one going under.
"There were 55 bomeseekers eight of
them women and none bad ever ex-
perienced a hurricane before. We were
all badly frightened but rallied wheu
it was realized that we were all safe
and that others needed our help.”
Rescue parties left the train in every
direction searching for refugees and
soon were bringing them in.
After some scouring of the country
afoot it appeared to Mr. Ladd who
was directing the work of the volun-
teers that most of the refugees were
to be found in the vicinity of a ranch
house about fire miles from where the
train was stalled. He then prevailed
upon the train crew to cut loose the
engine and a baggage car which was
run near this ranch house and brought
back refugee. others were brought to
tbe train in a band car obtained at
Odem.
Find Baby’s Rocking Chair.
Besides refugees and bodies they
found inu< b queer flotsam including a
a baby’s little locking chair which was
lodged high iu a tree parts of printing
outfits bushels of lead jieucils that had
never been sharpened and. among other
things three leather pillows and a num-
ber of feather pillows stamped or mark-
ed "Bead: Hotel.” which had been
washed from Corpus Christi.
With the Immeseeker train feeding
passengers on the five other trains
stalled nearby people living iu the vi-
cinity and refugees from Corpus Christi
as well as its own passengers the food
supply became very short after Sunday
night.’ At this time all the meat in the
diner was made into sandwiches which
with coffee were distributed as fast as
people appeared who were hungry.
Monday the train being still tied up
there the hotneseeker passengers were
forced to content themselves with two
meals and when it was possible to get
the train started Tuesday morning the
supplies were virtually exhausted.

It is to these artists the public instinctively turns
for musical entertainment in the great opera houses
theatres and concert auditoriums throughout the
world. And on the Victrola their glorious art
echoes and re-echoes in thousands upon thousands
of homes.
To hear these famous artists on the Victrola
is to be inspired by their exquisite interpretations
to experience the delight that only the greatest
music can bestow —that only Victor Records bring
into your home. Every rendition as true as life
itself—and it is in acknowledgment of this per-
fection that these great artists have chosen the
Victrola as the instrument to convey their master-
pieces to the music-lovers of all the world.
Any Victor dealer will gladly demonstrate the Victrola and play any music
you wish to hear. There are Victars and Victrolas in greet variety of styles
from Jl2 to £950.

Sanitary Situation Menaced.
With the sanitary situation in the
city already acute as the result of the
man of debris and silt covering the
wrecked area a new menace to the
health of those who survived the fury
of the wind nnd the ten-foot tidal
wave that swept the city appeared to-
day when the bodies of several bun
dred cattle drowned when the witit
awept over Mustang Island east of Cor-
pus Christi Bay floated into the city.
About an hour before dusk last night
the first dead animal which nt firat
was thought to be a human form was
seen riding on the waves and eventual-
ly thrown upon the shore. Several oth
er bodies of the dead animals could be
seen In tbe distance as darkness set-
tled down over the bay.
As several hundred cattle were on
Mustang Island when the storm struck
the task of removing nod disposing ot
these carcasses will tax the resources of
the city already burdened almost to the
breaking point.
Colonel Webb who represents Gov-
ernor Hobby brought the message from
the governor that "the state is pre-
SEPTEMBER 17 1919.
pared to take every possible step to
relieve the situetion.”
The governor also sent word that
Col. W. D Cope acting adjutant gen-
eral of Texas would arrive in Corpus
Christi tomorrow.
Hundreds of men nud women surged
back aud forth Tuesday and again to-
day through tbe basement ot the Nueces
County courthouse which has been
turned into a temporary morgue to
house the bodies of the drowned. Wom-
en stood in the hallways and as each
new body was brought in would rush
into the morgue many only to meet
disappointment or grief.
Less than half of the bodiea brought
in could be identified before it became
necessary to bury them. B. F. Roberta
in charge of tbe work had photographs
made took accurate descriptions aud
saved a bit of the clothing of each un-
identified person.
Practically all of the coffina in the
city were swept away or damaged by
the flood and crude wooden boxes
took their places. *
A line of trucks plied between th* -1
courthou.e and the cemetery where J
chaplains of several creeds were sta-
tioned to give a short prayer service
for those who hsd lost their lives in the
waves.
The third floor of the building has
been turned into a temporary hospital
where injured refugees are given first
aid.
