PRESIDENT TO IKE GOEIMElflS When Panama Canal Is Fin ished the Engineer Will Be Asked to Go to Alaska. FRIENDS GIVE ADVICE All Are Against Acceptance of the Commissionership Of fered by Mitchel. WASHINGTON. Jan. 25. Colonel George W. Gocthals will be made civil governor of tho canal zone and when ho gebr through with his work there an ef fort will be mado to get him to super Intend tho construction of the proposed Alaskan railway. This was. the opinion expressed by sev eral persons close to tho administration today In commenting on reports that the chief engineer would eventually become commissioner of police of New York City. Mayor Mitchel of New York Is ex pected here on Wednesday to speak at a banquet and it Is likely Hint ho will talk with President Wilson about the status of Colonel Gocthals. It Is believed tho president will tell Mayor Mitchel that he is strongly desirous of keeping Colo nel Gocthals, so that his engineering abil ity may not bo lost to the United States government. The president, it became known today, has from tho beginning favored tho one man plan of government for the canal r.one as proposed by Colonel Gocthals, In opposition to the suggestion of a com mission. Secretary Garrison has agreed and It was stated authoritatively today that the administration has Intended from the first to name Colonel Goethals as the first civil governor. GOETHALS URGED TO REMAIN IN THE ARMY PANAMA. Jan. 25. Friends of Colonel George W. Gocthals have strongly advised him against acceptance of tho post of commissioner of police at New York, ten- dcrcd the canal builder by Mayor Mitchel. It Is believed that their views have had great weight with him. Colonel Gocthals today reiterated that he could not accept the post until after tho completion ajid tho successful opera tion of the canal. Even if all the other conditions which he has imposed, were compiled with, it is said, this would keop him on the isthmus for another eighteen months. It is generally believed here that the agitation In New York to take Colonel Goethals from the isthmus will have the effect of hastening action at Washington looking to the establishment of a perma nent government In the canal zone. Speaking of the commissionership. Colo nel Gocthals today admitted that the of fer of the New York post had attracted him until he found obstacles that would mako It impossible for him to carry Into effect reforms which ho might deslro to make.

Rabbi Ja cob Nloto, addressing the congregation fjherlth Israel today, warmly commended the tango and kindred dances and scored those who condemned them. "Tho old padres In tho early days of the California missions wore wise men," said the rabbi, "fivery Sunday afternoon they let the people dance, and watched them while thc-y did so. In tho middle ages thu Jewish rabbis had the young people danced every Saturday afternoon In the presence of the parents, and all enjoyed It. "What we need is more common senso and less theology. "In the temples of India today young women , dance entirely mule. Nobody thinks anything about it. No vlclousncss should be connected with dancing.

SUFFERING IS APPALLING IN Hundreds of Villages Practi cally Wiped Out; Return ing Visitors Relate Ex periences in West. LONDON BUSINESS MAN TELLS STORY No Hope for the Starving Refugees Unless Help Comes Very Soon; Many Dead and More Dying. By International News Service. LONDON, Jan. 25. Herbert C. Gordon, a prominent London business man, re turned here today after having spent two months traveling through Bulgaria and Albania. He told a vivid story of the intense suffering among the thou sands of. refugees. Mr. Gordon said that the appalling condition which now exists In the Balkans Is unbelievable to per sons who have not witnessed the scenos. Ho said: "Only those who are on the spot can realize the unprecedented distress which prevails on all sides. I am thankful to hear that a fund Is being created in the United States for the relief of the Bulgarians and 1 wish to tell the Amer icans that It would be impossible for them to engage In a bc'tter work than the relieving, even In part, of tho distress of these refugees- Scenes Unbelievable. "During my tour through the war dis tricts I saw scenes of poverty which arc almost unbelievable in the Christian age. Hundreds of villages and towns have been wiped out and nearly all of the -agricultural districts which the peasants de pended upon almost entirely for their liv ing, have been rendered barren by fire nnd sword. It will be Impossible to bring the land back to any material slato of productiveness for many months and this fact alone renders the position of the refugees a most precarious one. As a re sult of these districts being laid waste nearly nil of the peasants have desert ed their ruined homes and fields and have crowded Into the larger cities and towns where the authorities arc totally unable to feed and house them. Shacks and Sheds Filled. "A remarkable situation exists In Dur razzo, where 15,000 Bulgarian refugees have gathered. They have been crowd ed Into every available shed, shack and shanty which could possibly serve as a shelter from the bitter winter weather. This has resulted In some quaint sights and despite the serious nature of the situation many of the refugees are ablo to laugh at their own position. No one with any charity In his soul can resist the pathetic appeals which come from all sides. I left my wardrobe except Just the clothes I had on my back with a des titute and emaciated family of five, of which three were young children and all' were little more than skin and bones. The mother, who was nearly dead for lack of food, had practically denuded hcrsolf that her children might have a fow more rags to keep out the cold. Become Scavengers. Tho mother told me that the whole family had existed for two days on a single loaf of bread and a small quantity of oats and corn which they had rum maged out of a corner of a former stable which they also used as sleeping quarters. "There does not teem to bo any hope for these refugees unless outside aid is sent there very soon. Many have al ready died and thousands of others will die In the next few weeks. The prob lem Is now to save as many as possible. Tho local authorities are powerless to aid through lack of funds. I have promised to do everything In my power to aid these people, but raising funds for charity In a distant land Is a difficult problem. How ever. I am sure that the American people will respond heartily once they under stand Die iruo situation." UTAH BANKERS WILL MAKE CLAIMS TODAY DKNVER, Colo., Jan. 25.

VILLA'S IUIHH I TO THE SOUTH I IS DANGEROUS I Torreon and Other Cities to Be Attacked Are Well Sup plied With Munitions of War. BEYOND THEM LIES H TRACKLESS DESERT H Rebel General Declares He Will Fight Way Through; Carranza Replies to Mes- i sages Urging Peace. jH CHIHUAHUA, Hex., Jan. 25. What will be the Immediate fortunes of Gen cral Francisco Villa's army of 15,000 or more robcls when they pass south of Tor reon Into the centra states of Mexico received serious consideration by tlia rebel leaders today. That the rebels will take Torreon they have every confidence although General Refugio Velasco, tho federal commander at that point, is be lieved to be acting on orders from Mexico City to check the revolution there if pos slblc. But what will happen after tho defeat of tho Torreon federal garrison, should they be defeated, is not so clearly defined in the mind of General Villa. Heretofore the activities of General VII la's army have been conllncd chiefly to tho border states which were regarded as rebel territory and thccbcl victories havs boon achieved against fedora garrisons which were cut off from communication and from bases of supplies. Unlimited supplies of cattle alao were at the scrv Ice of the robcls In the north. Conditions Changed. Southward the conditions, are somewhat changed. Important cities such a a Zaca- IH teens, Aguas C'allcnteu and San a Luis Po tosi, have federal garrisons which are IH supplied both with rations an;l nminunl lion direct from Mexico City. Moreover, communication and railroad facilities for tho shifting of (he federal troops are avail able. The federal strongholds thus are jH moro closely knit and can reinforce each other more readily than they could In the Another consideration before General Villa concerns the possible attitude of tho people in tho central stales loward an Invading rebel army, in the north General Villa has had little difficulty In rallying the uoncombatants to his side. In the central states and cities where tho fed era Is have dominated and whore tho reb els will have to find sources of food th" attiludo of the uoncombatants remains to be shown. South of Torreon are great deserts 10 which water will have to be carried In some distances for a hundred miles. These arc also devoid of cattle, so that the rebels will have to depend for relief upon such towns as they Icavo In Natural Roules. The railroad systems and the natural routes which the rebels would havo to H follow in an invasion of the central and southern states form a triangle- Tor- jH reon, 525 miles south of the United States border, with a population of 25.000, forms the northwest angle of the triangle. Sal- H tlllo and Monterey arc on tho northeast angle, while the two routes southward running through important cities con- verge at Mexico City. Two rebel armies jjjH thus might start," one each from Torreon and SoJtlllo, and while marching south- "jjD ward bo separated by about 200 miles until they reach tho vicinity of Mexico The route directly Bouth from Torreon, and along which Gencrol Villa proposes to lead the bulk of Cils army toward the H capital of the rcbubllc. runs through "jjjH Zacatccas and Aguas Calicntcs. The route south of Saltlllo runs through San Lulu Potosl. "fl General Villa proposes to leave the JU eastern route to the rebels In that local- jjH lty. Another rebel front Is working jjjH southward along thn Pacific coast and, according to Genenil Villa, is, to march JM toward Guadalajara. Will Fight His Way. "Whatever the obstacles " Intend to fight our way to Mexico City unless Lie HHHH usurper Ilucrta Is drlvon out beioro we get there," said General.
