SAN ANTONIO EXPRESS- TUESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 20, 191*.
START CONCERT-
XT TOMORRROW
ORNING.
ffCULTy EXPECTED
«s is not a church campaign, but a
ist campaign," declared Rev. S. J.
tor last night at a mass meeting of
>rkers, who, Wednesday morning, will
jrmally launch the movement to raise
^00,000 to relieve the indebtedness of Bap-
tist institutions in San Antonio and San
Marcos. The meeting was held at the First
Baptist Church, with Dr. Porter presiding.
Plans were formulated to the minutest de-
tail as to the methods by* which the
campaign will be waged, and in all the
short speeches there was not a doubt ex-
pressed but that the money will be raised
without difficulty. It is hoped to have the
canvass completed by the end of the week
so that a report can be made at Sunday's
services in the various churches. If en-
thusiasm may be taken as indicative, the
campaign will be carried through as
planned without a hitch.
Preliminary arrangements have been
under way several weeks. During the last
few days meetings have been held in vari-
ous parts of the city. One hundred repre-
sentative business men were chosen to
make tfie canvass, and these were divided
into committees of ten each, with u chair-
man and vice, chairman at the head of
each.
Meeting last night, these men were in-
structed as just what to do, and how to
do It. Something like an hour and a half
was required in which to accomplish this,
but In the general discussion it is thought
every*committeeman went away having a
thorough knowledge of what is expected
of him.
This afternoon at 4 o'clock the com-
« Uittees will reassemble at the same place
and have their districts assigned them.
Afterwards a conference of separate com
mitteeS will be held. Promptly at 0 o'clock
tomorrow morning the workers will take
• the field.
LUNCHEON THURSDAY.
To find out what is being accomplished
and at the sauie time encourage each other
to greater efforts, the committees wfll meet
Thursday at 12 o'clock at a luncheon, to
be provided by the Women's Missionary
Society in the Sunday school room of the
First Baptist church. Luncheon will be
served promptly so that guests will not be
detained longer than 1:3(1 o'clock.
Rev. T. V. Neal, pastor of the Prospect
Hill Baptist Church, explained in detail
the manner by which the subscriptions are
to be paid. In view of the fact that some-
thing like $20,000 has been offered by the
Home Mission Board and Southern Baptist
convention contingent upon the San An-
tonio churches raising th»* $00,000, payable
in four installments on April 1 aud Octo-
ber 1, 1914 and 1015, subscribers will bo
asked to make payments in the same man
ner. As far as possible this plan will be
adhered to. Explaining to what uses the
money will be put, Itev. Mr. Neal gave the
following outline:
The unincumbered and adequate equip-
ment of our houses of worship. We pro-
pose to pay off all indebtedness now car-
ried by the following churches: The First
Churcn, Beacon Hill, Prospect Hill, Calvary
and Hillcrest. We contemplate adding to
the equipment of the Southside Church.
We must ercct suitable house* for the
I'egues Memorial snd the Riverside
churches. To do all this will require
^■O.OOO. We plan to complete the payments
- our hospital sit«• on Hackberry and
.tfolan Streets, fh»^ principal and interest
amounting to $40,000. in addition to the
tenerous contributions already made to
..in Marcos Academy, we plan to con
tribute an additional amount of $7..">00.
thus assisting in the final effort ro relieve
that institution of the financial embarrass-
ment which 1ms theatened to retard its
wonderful growth.

quired for the work and the train was
sent west on its 200-mile journey. The
trains, that Is, those made up of passenger
equipment, will cover the distance in about
seven hours and they will be unloaded on
the Fort Bliss reservation
In accordance with the orders of Gen-
eral Miss, the entraining was continued
through the night, for it is his plan to get
all of the refugees into the detention camp
by tonight. Four companies of the Twen-
tieth infantry were ordered to Marfa and
these soldiers will go as guards on the
trains.
Like the common soldiers. General Mer-
cado and other high ranking officers will
not be permitted to leave the stockade at
Fort Bliss, liven the women and children
will not have the privilege of going with-
out the barbed wire enclosure. As they
elected to share the fate of the soldiers,
they must abide by the regulations that
have been ordered by the department coin-
i inauder.
CAMP IS IN READINESS,
j Telegraphic reports received at depart-
meiu headquarters yesterday said the
camp was in readiness and that little dlf
j flculty will be experienced in housing the
entire refugee contingent. As there are
! something over V-HH) tents, this will put
on an iijrrage of four persons in a tent,
I anch of them will have sufficient blankets
and bedding to keep warm. That is some-
;ti.!ug they did not have at Ojiuaga, and
it!"- 'prospects of a clean and sanitary camp
jhas brought unbounded joy to these
i strangers in a strange land.
i There will be plenty to eat for thrm.
Great quantities of beans, flour and meat
have been contracted l'or in the last few
days. .Much of the food has been pur-
chased here and the wholesale houses in
El l'aso have also sold some very large
orders.
The Mexicans will get much instruction
in camp sanitation and must abide by the
rules set down by the officers who will
direct this work .
WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 19.—The
kindly treatment accorded Mexican Fed-
eral refugees from Ojiuaga by the Ameri-
can Government has excited deep gratitude
j among the people of Monterey and vicinity
and has done much to encourage a belief
that the United States really is frleudly to
| the Mexican people, according to a report
I to the State Department today from Consul
lianna.
REFUGEES' CARE IS COSTLY.
Care of the uninvited guests is proving
costly, and today State and War Depart-
ment officials were casting about for means
to defray the expense or maintaining the
strangers. Even before the evacuation of
Ojiuaga the United States Government had
expended about $l;i0,000 for the keep "f the
Mexicans under detention, and with tho
ojiuaga fugitives added the daily bill will
amount to $2,500.
For a time the lluerta government regu-
larly remitted money to pay for feeding
refugees interned at Fort Kosecrans and
Brownsville, but payments stopped soma
time ago because of the exhausted condi-
tion of the "Mexican treasury.
Congress will be asked to give the War
Department an indefinite credit to meet
tills expense, although department offi-
cials realize this may precipitate an un-
desirable congressional discussion of the
whole Mexican problem. Ultimately Mexico
will be expected to reimburse tho United
States in full.
Today's report to the State Department
said the appearance of many Constitution
allsts in the neighborhood of Torreon has
Ted the American consular officer there to
apprehend an early siege by Villa's army.
This will be the third time this town has
been attacked in the present revolution, a
tribute to its strategic importance from
a military pdlnt of view.
EL PASO, Tex., Jan. 10.—Constitutional-
ist leaders at Juarez today sent word to
Brigadier General Scott that they feared
the Federals, when interned at Fort Bliss,
would attempt to steal across to the Mexi-
can side and rejoin the lluerta army.
They asked that the refugees be removed
farther from the border.
General Scott replied that precautions
had been taken to prevent the escape of
any Federals.
The refugees will be guarded night and
day by four infantry companies.
SERRANO INDIANS ON WARPATH
Their Revolt Said to Be Under Direc-
tion of Carranzistas.
CITY OF MEXICO, Jan. 19.—The Serrapo
Indians in the state of Puebla, who boast
that they never have been conquered by
lyiy ruler of Mexico, are again on the war
path. Their revolt is said to be under the
direction of adherents of General Carranza,
many of the Indians having recently pro-
ceeded to Southern Mexico. The Serrano*
movement is distinct from that of the Zapa-
tistasain the neighboring state of Morelos.
The Serranos In Puebla a few days ago
captured a mule train of ammunition from
bat ata's forces.
These Indians recognise only the chief-
tainship of Juan Liuias, on whom Porfirio
IHaz. when a dictator, conferred the rank
of general in the regular army. Diaz, after
failing to subdue Lucas and his followers,
bribed them to submit, giving each man a
rifle arrl a supply of ammunition, as well
as a small sum of money.
The late President Madero continued the
government subsidy to Lucas, but the
f resent administration under General
Luerta has failed to do so. The revolt is
said to threats communication between
here and Vera Crui.

ALPINE, Tex., Jan. 19.—A man cap-
tured by Orozco at San Carlos last week

Daniels Would Allow
Foreigners to Bid on
Warship Contracts
WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 19.—Secre-
tary Daniels announced today that he fa
vored, opening the bidding for American
warship contracts to foreign shipbuilders
in order to force greater competition
among private plants in the United States.
Only through real and keen competition,
the Secretary holds, can the Government
exepct to get reasonably low prices.
Mr. Daniels continues to work for his
Government armor plant proposal. He
said today that it "would pay the Cnlted
States to build an armor ailant. even if its
door's were kept locked, because real com-
petition between private manufacturers
could be obtained only when the Govern-
ment is In a position to make its own
armor plate."
Mayville Outlaw
loo Crafty for Sheriff;
Still Holds the Fort
MAYVILLE, N. Y., Jan. 19.—Sheriff An-
derson failed today in two attempts to
break the seven-days' siege of the lieards-
ley farm at Summerdale and to arrest Ed-
ward Reardsley. In the first he used two
out-of-town detectives, posing as photogra-
phers. to get close enough to Beardsley to
grapple with him. Beardsley posed for a
picture at the window, but never relin-
quished his rifle, and the detectives could
not carry out their plan.
Late this afternoon Fred Beardsley, a
cousin of the besieged farmer; Axel olsen,
a friend, and Luther S. Lukln, county
clerk, visited the outlaw. The sheriff
thought Beardsley might surrender t« Lu-
kin. Beardsley received them at the win-
dow and talked freely but did not sur-
render.
"I u.il surrender on Wednesday when
the mother-in-law takes the kids," he said.
"Then I am going to jail wiUi Attorney
Pickard. if there's any monkey business
from the sheriff and his g&ng then there's
going to be trouble. 1 am going to march
to the jail without their help."
Beardsley said the woman in the house,
Mrs Ena PUr, who was wounded by the
accidental discharge of a revolver last
night, was all right.
rile fact that Beardsley seems to be pre-
paring to make a legal defense has satis-
fied sheriff Anderson that the man is sin-
cere ft, his promise to give himself up
Wednesday.

WASHINGTON, 1>. C., Jan. 19.—The
nomination of John Skelton Williams, now
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, to be
Comptroller of iho Currency, and as ex-
offlcio member of the Federal He serve
Board, was confirmed by the Senate in ex-
ecutive session late today.
The only opposition t<»' tho confirmation
of Mr. Williams was voiced by Senators
Bristow of Kansas and William Alden
Smith of Michigan. Senator Bristow re-
viewed the action of Mr. Williams in de-
positing funds with the Munsey Trust
Company when it took over the United
States Trust Company in this city to avert
a panic.
Senators Heed of Missouri, Martin of
(Virginia, Mr. Williams' home city, and
Chilton of West Virginia, praised the abil-
ity "f the President's nominee for the Im-
portant position and urged his confirma-
tion.
rl here was no roll call on the confirma-
tion. and the only voice heard against It
was that of Senator Bristow when the viva
voce vote was taken.
Mr. Williams becomes an immediate
member, of the organization committee now
holding hearings In the West to determine
on locations for the Federal reserve banks,
and the new Comptroller will prepare to
Join his colleagues, Secretary McAdoo and
Secretary*Houston, as soon as possible.
MILITIA UNSATISFACTORY
Conditions Are Severely Criticised by
Brigadier General Mills.
WASHINGTON, D. C„ Jan. 19.—Condi-
tions in the organized militia of the coun-
try, on the whole, are far from satisfactory
In organization, in strength and in train-
ing, according to Brig. Gen. A. L. MliW,
chief of the division of militia affairs of
the War Department, in his annual report
today. In his opinion the militia's organi-
zation is top-heavy, incomplete and unbal-
anced ; its strength is much below the im-
portant items necessary for field service,
and In training is on the average far below
the standard required for efficiency in time
of need. •
General Mills declared, however, that
despite a decrease In numerical strength
in the militia, the /prospect was one of
considerable progress and improvement
The loss.in number has Jjrought about in-
creased efficiency, and he believes the re-
sult will be an increase in strength, both
in organization and in personnel.
General Mills believes that this Improve-
ment may be made more certain by the en-
actment of a militia pay law. lie strongly
urges Federal and State co-operation oh
the ground that the organized militia's
welfare can be fostered only In that way.
The time has arrived, he says, to formu-
late a scheme for theoretical instruction of
the militia of all the States. Some of the
States are severely criticised for failure to
take proper care of the Government prop-
erty, ho that about a million dollar's worth
was dropped or carried on a suspended ac-
count. In one State of the total number
of rifles on hand, there were not enough
serviceable ones to equip the troops for
target practice because of sheer neglect.
In another the number of rifles short
would equip a regiment at peace strength.
General Mills urges arrangement of the
militia upon a proportionate basis of the
various arms, and he believes the quickest
way of correcting the present condition
lies in the conversion of sufficient of the
Infantry in the anuy to strike a balance.
Anv legislation should c&rry with It pro-
vision for a reservation to given a limited
amount of field training under the secre-
tary.
1 nder the strength of militia at the end
of the fiscal year were 9,1110 officers and
111,072 enlisted men, a decrease of 12 offi-
cers and 1,038 enlisted men, compared with
the preceding year. For some unknown
reason the department has tailed to secure
an increase in the coast artillery militia,
and it is suggested that the law be amend-
ed to permit the Secretary of War to allot
the militia funds among the several arms
of the service in proportion to the strength
at which he conslderers they should be
maintained.

CARTER TO RETURN TO CHICAGO
Major General Will Resume Command
of Central Department
WASHINGTON, I>. a, Jan. 10.—MaJ.
Gen. William II. Carter, commanding the
Second Army Division ut Texas City, Tex.,
was today ordered to return to Chicago
to resume command of the Central De-
partment on February 1.
That command will be temporary, how-
ever, as orders Issued last month provide
for hla sailing from San Francisco about
March 5 for Honolulu to take command of
the Hawaiian Department, relieving Brig,
(ien. Frederick Funston.
MaJ. Gen. Franklin Bell, now command-
ing the Philippine Department, will leave
the Islands about April 15 to take command
at Texas City.
In the ordinary course. General Carter's
departure from Texas City would leave
the command of the Second Division in the
hands of Brie. (Jen. Thomas F. Davis,
now commander of the Fifth Brigade,
through the detachment of his senior. Brig.
Gen. John P. Wisser. who is under orders
to command the Pacific Coast Artillery
Division. General Davis would a«t as
division commander, however, only for a
short time, when he tfould be relieved by
Brig. (Jen. Hunter Liggett, in command of
the War College here. General Liggett in
turn also would give way after a few
weeks to General Funston, senior brigadier
general of the array.
All these changes will be subject to the
possibilities of developments in Mexico. It
is understood in the event the maneuver
divisions aro called on for service in the
field, Maj. (Jen. Leonard Wood, who will
surrender his office as chief of staff in
April, will be placed in supreme command.

Man Pleaded Guilty
but Jury Is Unable
to Agree on Verdict
Whether to turn a man lose who had
pleaded guilty of an offense or sentence
him to a term in prison, was the unusual
predicament a jury in the Thirty-seventh
District Court found itself yesterday. After
arguing for an hour or more and not being
able to agree either way. they were dis-
charged by Judge W. S. Anderson.
The question arose in the trial of a man
charged with theft over Defendant an-
nounced ready for trial when his case was
called and stated that he would plead
guilty and asked for the benefit or the
suspended sentence law. This law pro-
vides that a prisoner found guilty of an
offense, if he can produce evidence that It
Is his first transgression, may be sen
tenced to a term in the penitentiary and
then turned lose, the sentence, however,
hanging over his head in full force, and
may be enforced If he again commits an
offense against the law.

BEFORE HIS EYES
MR. GUISE GETS FREE OF AN OP-
TICAL ILLUSION BY USE OF
VITALITAS.
"For days I was beset by an optical
Illusion. It was very distressing and bo
handicapped me as to keep me from my
work. Myriads of things would swim oe-
fore my eyes, principally little black spots
so thick at times that I could hardly see
anything else. I made up my mind that
it was due to my liver. 1 knew I was
fearfully bilious. How to get rid of It was
the question. I decided to try Vltalitas,
which I bad been reading so much about.
I observed the results very closely. With
the first bottle a great tuianiity of bile
passed from me and my relief was then
immediate and complete. I have never felt
so well as I have since taking Vitaiitas."
The foregoing statement is made by Mr.
P. M. Ciuise of Mineral Wells, Texas. He
is a well-known and skilled workman and
he Is enthusltasticaily telling all his com-
panion workmen of his experience with
Vitaiitas.
Vitaiitas comes out of the earth. Noth-
ing Is added to or taken from the way
nature has made it; its system-cleansing
and vitalizing effects are not equaled by
any mad-made medicines. It sweeps from
the system all derangements of the stom-
ach. liver, kidneys, bowels ami blood. It
Is free of harmful Ingredients and is ef-
fective even in the most chronic cases, in-
vestigate Vitaiitas today ut Wagner's Drug
