Eagle Pass, Texas, July 28.—
Francisco Villa, Mexican bandit
leader, for years a menace to gov-
ernments of his country through-
out Northern Mexico, has surren-
dered and tonight is entraining
I with his men for Torreon, there
. to take the first actual steps look-
ing to his entrance once more in'
| to private Mexican citizenship, a
consequence of his negotiations
with the De la Huerta govern-
ment, concluded at Sabinas early
this morning.
Advices reaching here from Sa-
binas, which contain this infor-
mation, told also the terms under
which the bandit chieftain agreed,
in the words of General Eugenio
Martinez, commander o£ the Tor-
reon military zone and personal
representative of the De la Huer-
ta regime, to “submission to the
De la Huerta government in rec-
ognition of its stability and his
desire to retire to private life and
abide by the laws of the govern-
ment. ’ ’
Year’s Pay for Soldiers
Under these terms, advices
state, Villa is to be allowed a
year’s army pay for all his sol-
diers and permitted to go with
them to Torreon under personal
escort, where this condition of
the terms will be effected. The
band will number about 1,800,
it is said. At Torreon the men
are to be “mustered out” of Vil-
la’s service and each allowed a
tract of land on which to engage
in farming.
General Martinez, communicat-
ing to Emiliano Tamez, Mexican
consul at Eagle Pass, termed Vil-
la’s acceptance of the terms as
an act of patriotism.”
General Martinez has wired
that railroad traffic ip the. Sa-
binas district is being resumed
and that he has given orders for
running of all trains as per sched-
ules in effect prior to interrup-
tion.
Details of negotiations between
the Mexican government and Vil-
la say that the conference for
surrender, conducted on the part
of De la Huerta by General Mar-
tinez, took place all night, end-
ing at 11 o’clock this morning.
It was interrupted by a severe
electrical storm, but resumed im-
mediately thereafter.
Stories of Slaughter Denied
All rumors of slaughter of Sa-
binas policemen and mutilation of
bodies of many women there yet
lack confirmation. Other reports,
however, tell of general rejoicing
throughout Mexico and of cele-
brations planned.

officers of the law spread their
traps for him.
At the time of the Madero rebel-
lion against Diaz in 1910 Villa
joined the ill-fated revolutionary
leader and did yeoman service
with his band in the fighting
about Juarez. He accompanied
Madero to Mexico City, but later
returned to Chihuahua. When
Madero sent General Victoriano
Huerta, then commander-in-chief,
into the north to break the Orozco
rebellion, Huerta and Villa clash-
ed. Each was intolerant of the
other and Huerta finally had Vil-
arrested and sent to Mexico
City and condemned to death by
a military court-hartial for insub-
ordination. Madero, mindful of
his past services, had this punish-
ment commuted to imprisonment
in the penitentiary at Mexico
City. While confined there Villa
taught himself to read and write.
He then escaped and sought ref-
uge across the Texas border.

Both Loved and Hated.
A rise from bandit with a price
on his head to one of the domi-
nant figures in Mexico, and a fall
again to outlawry comprises the
career of Francisco Villa, a man
both loved and hated as no other
has been in Mexico since the time
of Benito Juarez.
Born in 1868 in the little min-
ing town of Las Nievas, Durango,
of peon parents, he followed the
Texas. Dear Sir—In reply to your
letter of July 26th, we beiieve
that your interpretation of the
statute relative to the payment
of poll tax is correct. A person
desiring to participate in the pri-
mary must have paid state, coun-
ty and city poll tax, where the
latter is levied, in order to vote.
What constitutes a levying of
poll tax is plain. The city poll
tax is levied according to the
charter and by-laws of each mu-
nicipal corporation, and must be
paid according to such ordinances
as are prescribed. It is neces-
sary that men and women com-
ply with the poll tax assessments
in order to vote. The fact that
a city holds no primary elections
in which women may participate
does not ipso facto release a
woman from the payment of the
city poll tax.
Yours very truly,
C. M' CURETON,
W.H.-J Attorney General.

his father, when he and his moth-
er and sister went to Western Chi-
huahua. Then he became a va-
quero on one of the great cattle
ranches and obtained the minute
knowledge of the wild and moun-
tainous country which enabled
him to laugh at pursuit for many
years.
Many stories are told of his
first clash with the laws of Mexi-
co, but the one most frequently
related is that a Captain in one
of President Diaz’s regiments won
the heart of his sister and eloped
with her without the formality
of a marriage. Villa, according
to the tale, pursued the pair,
forced a marriage, forced his new-
ly acquired brother-in-law to sign
his own death certificate and dig
his own grave, shot him and es-
caped to the mountains. What-
ever the truth of this report, Pres-
ident Diaz placed a price on his
head.
