VILLA KILLER ASKS
MEXICO FOR PLACE
Barraza Says His tfonor Pre
vented Him From Taking
Movie Offers in U. S.
By th« Associated press.
MEXICO CIT/V, April 7.—Jesus Salas
Barraza, the sJayer of Pancho Villa is
sorry—not that he killed Villa, but
that he joined the Escobar Revolution
of 1929.
If the present government will for
give him, he has written Carlos Riva
Palaci<v secretary of interior, and allow
him *#> remain in peace in Mexico, he
will,“prove that he is a "peaceful, law
abjfiing citizen.” He acknowledges he
lfld the gang which ambushed Villa
in 1923.
Life in the United States would not
have been so bad. Salas wrote, but his
honor, which he called the only legacy
he inherited from his parents, inter
fered.
He said that he had been unable to
bring himself to accept offers of stage
and motion picture parts built upon the
Villa episode which would have made
him financially independent, preferring
poverty for himself, his wife and his
seven children to commercializing the
episode.
Referring to Villa by his full name, j
Dorotea Arango Francisco <Pancho) j
Villa, Salas declared that he had slain :
him for a ‘'noble purpose” and had
rid Mexico of a “morose element” and
“national shame” by the assassination.
Salas came here a few days ago to
clear himself of chargej of smuggling
arms. When arrested at Moctezuma.
Chihuahua, he had four rifles, two of
which he was taking to friends a’
Santa Barbara, he said, and two of
which he carried to defend himself
against followers of Villa, who swore
of a blood oath to be revenged upon
him.
CITIZENS RAP REPAIRS
MADE TO CINDER PATHS
Highlands Body Protests Dumping
of Ashes and Names Dr. Payne
as Federation Delegate.
Indignation regarding repairs made
to cinder paths was expressed by the
Washington Highlands Citizens' As
sociation at a meeting held last night.
. Members complained that walks are
now avoided by pedestrians, who are
using the streets instead. It was stated
that the repairs, made by dumping of
ashes along the pathways, have made
walking on them practically impossible.
D. H. Cole introduced the resolution.
Circular letters in reference to
“Clean-up week” were ordered sent to
all residents of the community, and a
card party, to be given the first week
In May, was announced. Miss Bessie
Warren, president, presided at the
meeting, held at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. A F. Davidson, 15 Atlantic street
southeast.
D. H. Cole tendered his resignation as
delegate to the Federation of Citizens’
Associations, because of ill health, and
Dr. J. B. Payne was elected to succeed ;
him.

LONDON (/P).—Very Rev. Hugh Rich

of radio fans as 'Dick” Sheppard, is to
be succeeded as dean of Canterbury by
Very Rev. Hewlett Johnson, dean of
Manchester, engineer, athlete and moun
tain climber.
’ Dick" Sheppard, who made his repu
tation as a radio preacher when he was
rectcr of St. Martin's in th 3 Fields,
London, resigned because of poor heal.h.
Dr. Johnson was a rowing blue when
he was at Oxford, and an enthusiastic
follower of almost every form of sport.
He cnee walked 60 miles in one day
around the Island of Arran and he has
scaled 16 Alpine passes. He became an
engineer, but he was always interested
in social service, and when he was 32
he was ordained a priest.
He has expressed original opinions on
a variety of subjects. After a tour of
theaters he announced his belief that
chorus girls were "prettier, happier and
fresher 1 ’ than they used to be. He has
long advocated day coaches which are
convertible into sleepers, and has even
slept in luggagp racks to protest against
the unconvertible kind. He would like
young men in business to be given more
money and longer holidays, so they
might “go scouting through the world
in quest of larger ideas*
