It was said In Juarea that Baiaiar
took one of the Federal cannon and
a number of artillerymen to manage
the gun.
Federal officers In Juarea stated
vesterdav that Malaxar was not or
dered to the front because of Federal
reverses but because General Fran
claco Caatro wishea to use him and
his cavalry as a "flying squadron" to
follow up the rebels wnen irtey ara
driven from Hon ta Rosalia.

The Santa Rosalia fight according
to advices haa been going on Inter-
mittently since dawn yesterday. Fed-
eral messages stated that General
Caatro who Is directing the attack on
the rebel forces defending the town
has 4000 troops In action and more

with a Federal force haa also been or-
dered to Santa Rosalia' to assist In

Villa Rfierti ta a Rase.
Villa's statement that he had evacu-
ated the town was merely a "ruse"
to draw In the Federal forces. He sup-
posedly left 200 rebels as the town's
garrison and these went out at the
first sttsck on the town. They Im-
mediately fell hack when the battle
begun and the Federals followed aft-r
them. Villa's men were hidden In the

DYNAMITE CONFESSION
EXPLOITS BY GEORGE DAVIS
RIVALED THOSEJF MIMARAS
Another Chapter in the Great Conspir-
acy Brought to Light Through La-
- bors of a Louisville Detective.
By The Aeeocialvd Prree
New York Oct. S. Dynamite riuL-
ragea that Hvalled the exploits of the
McNamara- brothers and of ortie Mc-
Manlgal were confessed to toduy hy
George E. Dsvis. a union iron worker.
Davis who wss arrested here today
was the George O'Donnel who figured
In the triii at Indianapolis that re-
sulted In the conviction of Frank M
9yan president of the Internal hmal
Aaaoclatlon of Bridge nnd Hiructtiral
Ironworkers und thirty-seven of hta
sssoclstea. His arrest and Its conse-
quences round up the work -if the fed-
eral government started more than
two years ago when the dynamiting of
brldgea and ateel frame buildings all
over- the country became a national
acandal.
All the explosions that Da via says
he caused were touched on und testi-
fied at the dynamiters' trial in ln-
dlanaoplls hut the fart that 1 avls
caused them remained unreveuled un-
til he himself told of It today.
Harry Jones Arrested.
Davis' confession today resulted )n
the arrest at Indianapolis of Harry
Jones secretary -treasurer of the lrtn
workers union. Ml confession sup-
plements the evidence presented nt the
Indianapolis trial and makes fresh
charges against some of ihe men con-
victed there and now In prison Home
of his revelations concern President
Ryan who now 1 out on ball pending
appeal from n prison aentenca of sev-
en years.
Davis says he- was the man chosen
to kill Walter Drew attorney for the
National Brecters' association in De-
cember 1911 after Drew WHi charged
with kidnapping John McNemers. It
waa suggested also that he try to "gel"
William J. Burns the detective em-
ployed by Drew nnd his associatea to
unearth the dynamite conspiracy Th
price on Drew's head st that time
Dsvis said was tH.000.
"I told them." his confession con-
tinues "that I didn't want to mix Up
In such business.'
Davis consented return to Indian-
apolis without extradition. Ills ball
was fixed at fJO.000.
Conspiracy Hi III Kxlsta
The conspiracy thought to have
been broken up by the conviction of
Ryan ami others still oxlsta accord-
ing to Puvls' confession. With the ex-
ception of Harry Jones the man ho
mentions In connection with hla var-
ious dynamite J .bs all the alleged con-
splratora have been arrested although
his confession Indicated thai the gov-
ernment had not obtained all the In-
criminating evidence agaltiat these de-
fendants when they were tried at
Indianapolis.
The apprehension of thin M Manlgal
of the east was due to Robert Cosier
a ljoulsvplo detective who shadowed
the ironworker through eastern aisles
and cltlea. Finally several weeks ago
when Davis was displeased wlih hla
treatment by the union Cater per-
auaded him to make a full confes-
sion. Working hi Wtlsburgh.
This waa on September It. For a
week Davis had been working In Pitts
burgh for the Thompson-Htarrei com-
pany. Then the local delegate of the
Ironworkers union told him he must
pay a $26 initiation fee to the local
union or quit. Dsvis quit. The de-
tective told him he knew all "about
his deeds anyway and Davis feeling
that the union had deserted hint ac-
companied Foster to Now York. Here
In the presence of representatives or
the federal district attorney and the
National Krectora' association he dic-
tated nnd swore to the long totalled
confession which was given out mday
by the district attorney's office.
Davis said he had been an Iron
worker since 1900 and hud been em-
ployed at Denver Pueblo Ht. Ixiula.
New York. Washington providence
Cleveland Pittsburgh and Birming-
ham. In the early days of the trou-
bles between the union and the bridge
builders he was a member of Ihe eh-
tertalnment committee whose duty it
was to aaasult non-union workers
...-. Ms Dynamiter.
He began hi career as a dynamiter
at Trenton. N. J "n earalul detail
ihe -onfeaelon tells how Davis blew
up or tried to blow up bridges in var-
ious citlea or towns In the east It
was due hla preparation of plans to
destroy a new building at Fall Hlver
Maas. on April 2 130K that Dsyla
first came Into communication with
Harry Jones He says he got Jones
at Indianapolis on the telephone and
asked him for money. Jones he adds.
aenL $60. Davis adds he waa familiar
with the worn ne was ""
ths name of O'Donnel. Davis wHs ar-
rests for the Full River job and serv-
ed two yeara In prison. During hla
prlaon termhe saya "his friends rnsuV
a couple of noises" in other parts or
New England to convince the author-
Itles that Davis or "O'Donnel was
not the only person doing dynamite
work. After he lfl the prison ofn-
TeFTof the union gave him money and
he went to his Home In Coffeyville.
Ken. John MeNamara wanted him t-
take up hla old irade in Oklahoma
but he refused because It waa mo near
home.
Ilia Latent Fxplolt.
The arrest of. the McNsmaraa soon
followed and at the advice Of" Presi-
dent Ityan Dsvla aays he returned
to the esat. One of hla Istest exploits
was the dynamiting of-a bridge at
Montvernon under the direction of
I Frank C. Webb a New York member
of the executive committee of tho
union who Is serving six years in
prison.
A feature of Davis atatement was
Ihe story of a gigantic scheme to aeC
ff simultaneously explosions in Oma-
ha San Francisco Ht. Louis and New
York city while the McNamaraa wera
in jail. This was to create the Im-
presión that the McNamaraa by no
meanv were responsible for all the dy-
namiting In the country. The con-
summation of the plot was nipped by
the confession of the two men la

Davis left for I ml i i na pohs over the
