Price On Villa's Head. Slnco the Santa Vsabel massacre of Americans, there has been a price on Villa's head. Sandal-clad troops have shuffled out of Chihuahua City and Juarez to take up the trail.

As a boy he was driven back Into these same hills of the Guerrero dis trict, and forced to turn bandit to ' save his life from the Diaz Rurales, who hunted him as only one bandit can hunt another. , Reversion to Type. Villa's metamorphosis from a Mex ican General, in gold lace and dla- mond-set medals, to an unshaven, ragged, dirty bandit has been a clear case of reversion to type. tvnen ue was onerea an amnesty, which lie knew was only a Mexican trick to make him a victim of the firing squad, he showed his yellow teeth like a wolf nnd hissed back at the courier: "Go and tell them to come and get me.

SELECT YOUNG CONVICT Will Seek Pardon nnd Then Try to Reform Murderer of Three. Chicago, 111., Feb. 6. Tho young est lifer, ln Jotlet, Herman Coppes, convicted of the murder of Mrs. Maudo Sleep and her two children, will bo freed from the penitentiary if the efforts of John D. Rockefeller, Jr., "Mother" Mary Jones, Jack Rob bins and Attorney William A, Cunnea are successful, It was learned to day. Coppes Is 17 years old. Three years ago he shot and killed Mrs. Sleep, dropped her body into a cis tern and then, fearing that the chil dren would tell his crime, killed the two with an ax. He confessed tho murders, was "tried and sentenced to Jollet for life. Nearly two years-ago, a militia man at ona of tho Colorado Fuel mines, controlled by the Rockefel lers shot and killed Harold Snyder, twelve years old .His death did more to bring young Rockefeller to the mines to personally Investigate con ditions there than anything else. While the younger Rockefeller was ln the Colorado mining district he met "Mother" Jones, friend of the laboring people. He had' reason to fremember tho meeting for "Mother" Jones termed him the "Murderer" of Harold' Snyder. Mr. Rockefeller told Mother Jones to find the worst boy, to spare no ex pense and to send all the bills to him. "Mother" Jones came to Chicago recently. It was natural that she should meet her friend, Jack Robblns big brother to all wayward boys. She told him of Rockefeller's offer." "I know the boy," Robblns said. And he told her of Herman Coppes the youngest "lifer" In Jollet peniten tiary, the youngest life prisoner in any United States penal institution. He was called the worst of bad boys. And yet, Robblns knew he could be reformed. "Mother" Jones wired Rockefeller that the worst boy had been found. Sho told him what it would cost to reclaim the life and to make recom pense for Harold Snyder, murdered ln Rockefeller's coal fields. Rockefeller's answer was terse. "Spare no expense necessary." At torney William A. Cunnea, was in formed of the situation and he be gan immediately an Investigation, of Coppes' incarceration. Upon tho ac tion of Governor Dunne and the Board of Pardons depends the suc cess of the plan of John D. Rocke feller, Jr., and "Mother" Mary Jones. If tho Governor consents to grant Coppe3 a pardon, "Mother" Jones wants it to be a full pardon with no strings attached to it. "I don't want him to come out of the prison with anything of the pri son on him," she said. "Wo want to give him a chance, something he never had before." Mr. Rockefeller feels responsibil ity will not end with the boy's liber ation if it is accomplished. He will stand sponser for the young murder er until "Mother" Jones is assured ho Is a man worthy of a place among real men. - Liven up Your Torpid Liver.
