Villa Followers Declare Gen.
Angeles Provisional Presi
, dent and Villar Secretary
of War.
Dallas, Texas, May 29. Villa fol
lowers have declared General Felipe
Angeles provisional president of Mex
ico and Francisco Villa, secretary of
war, according to confidential informa
tion received here today by lario W.
Silvia, formerly a member of Villa's
staff. Angeles has Issued a procla
mation calling 'all to rally against
the Carranza forces. - - '
The" proclaiming of General An-,
geles as provisional president of.Mex-'
Kico and Villa secretary of war comes
as the ' climax to military operations
considered by the Carranza goyern-i !
ment so serious- that it asked the
United States for permission to move
troops through Texas, New Mexico
and Arizona, and is regarded here as
reflecting a situation more- Serious
in Mexico ; than : any since the Car
ranza forces triumphed over Villa 3
years ago. ' Viewed in connection with
Felicista. forces activities In southern
Mexico, the s'Maation reguarded as full
of possibilities. '-,
President Carranza has been noti
fied by the American government 'that
permission for the passage of'Mexi
can trops through American territory
will be withheld for the;present.'"Mex
ico had asked, to be permitted to move
2,000 men from Augua Prieta to Juarez
for operation against Francisco Villa's
forces. "
. It was made clear at the state de
partment however that in the even
President Carranza could show tha
there was greater necessity,, Tor th
presence for the force. Of .2,000, men
immediately . south of the. border at
Juarez than at Agua Prieta in the
territory where the Yaqui Indians are
becoming troublesome the position of
the United States government xnight
be altered. .
It was today officially that the de
cision of the government was based
upon - the belief that the , force which
it was proposed to move through Ari
zona, New Mexico and Texas would
not be able to furnish prottection to
American citizens in Northern Mexico
because the revolutionists had cut the
road between Juarez and Chihuahua.

Bill Introduced.
BY GEORGE H.. MANNING.
Washington,' D. C., , May 29.TCon
gressman J; H- SmitJw;ick has" intro
duced bills in the house to appropriate
$50,000 for the erection of a postofflce
building at PeFuniak Springs, Fla..
an dto increase the appropriation f or
the construction of a public buildins
at Apalachicola from $57,500 to
$135,000. , : .:: ;-
It has been found impossible ' ta
build a sufficiently pretentious build
ing at 'Apalachicola for $57,500, the
sum originally appropriated, and Mr.
Smithwlck introduced a bill to in
crease .the amount to $135,000. Sen
ator Fletcher has introduced similar
bills in the senate so that the chances
for - getting favorable action on the
measure in one body or f the other Is
fairly well assured.
Following introduction of the bills,
Mr. Smithwick held a conference with
Chairman John Langley, of the pwbllfe
buildings and grounds committee,' and
urged ' the inclusion of the items in
the omnibus buildings bill it is pro
posed shortly . to report to the house.
Congressman Smithwick also intro
duced a bill to bring" relief to Mrs.
Mary E. Hall, of Panacea, Florida
Some years ago a clerk in the Panacea
postoffice defaulted with some of tne
postal funds and Thomas H.-Hall, the
bondsman, was , held, : responsible to
the sum Of $500. The Smithwick bill
is to repay this amount, to the widow,
Mr. Hall having been only technically
responsible. He also introduced bills
to approprife $60,000 for a site and
building at Quincy and to . increase
the limit of the cost of the site and
building at Marianna from $66,000 to
$150,000.
PALMER CLAIMS
1920 VICTORY
FOR DEMOCRATS
Chicago, May 23. Attorney General
Palmer told the democratic national
committee at a banquet here tonight
that if past achievement assured fu
ture victory, the party could write to
day the political history , of the. next
decade, at least. The hard won victory
of American arms will prove but
niner triumDh if "We
don't made certain, that out of it shall j
come greater liberty, a Dexier Amer
ica, and super peace. To these ends
the democratic party proposes to con
secrate itself." Palmer said.
, Palmer, said he did not put victory
in" the world war in the proud list of
democratic achievements because it
was the people's war in a' peculiar
sense. "But. I do insist we shall share
no more of the old slander that .the
democratic party cannot be 'trusted
to lead in a great war.
After mentioning constructive and
progressive legislation passed by the
last democratic congress, he approved
the president's conduct of the war and
continued, Within twenty years our
nation, nuder the republican admin
istration, ; conducted a foreign war.
The record of that party in that war
is Still a matter current reading and
public aiscusslon. We simply ask the
people to draw their own conclu
sion which party served its country
best in war and in peace".

Pete L. Rollo Will Head
Party Leaving Pensacola
Today in Interest of Work
Over West Florida.
The final master stroke in the Sal
vation . Army . Home Service drive was
doubtless made yesterday noon so far
as the local fight . is concerned when
a brilliant band of workers descended
upon- the plant of the Pensacola Ship
building company and through the
courtesy and with the cooperation of
the management of that big enter
prise,, enthused and inspired the work
ers there and drew from them con
tributions and pledges which will
doubtless aggregate the anticipated
$5,000 when all returns are checked
up.
The list of prominent workers in
cluded Captain J. N. Sweeney, head of
the plant; Capt. R. E.'Bergren,' of the
local ?orps, Salvation Army; Rebeka
Grosskopf, Clara B. Frenkle, Blanche
Sheppard, W. G. Green, Mary L. Green,
Ena Hoffman, Col. John L. Hughes.

Crenshaw, Mrs. ; C-B. Hervey, W. F.
Amos, . B. S. Hancock, - and the ; Fort ,
Barrancas band of 25 pieces. - Th company-
enjoyed . luncheon at the plant
cafeteria, after which, through tho
courtesy of the company officials, every
department was thoroughly worked,
every division giving generously.
At the formal speech making and
entertainment Capt. Sweeney acted as
chairman and made the opening talk,
introducing Col. Hughes and Mis3
Rheba Crawford. Miss Dodd, a hand
some Salvationist and charming sing
er, from New York, made a strong hit
with her voice, and her duet rendi
tion of "Salvation Lassie of Mine," to
gether with one of the members of the
band was the song sensation of the
drive.
Miss Crawford spoke; with her well
known persuasiveness. Born in tha
ranks of tho Salvation Army as the
daughter of one of its brigadier gen
erals she made the men of the ship
plant feel that she spoke with the au
thority of genuine knowledge She de
clared that the army is doing no dif-.
ferent work today than it has done
for 50 years but that it took the war
and the service in Foince to awaken
the people to its merits. Miss Craw
ford has the unassuming, but fascinat
ing, personality that little bespeaks the
brHliancy .she manifests on the public
platform.
...'..-'Zone To Be Given Lift....' .;'
It is now expected, that when all r
turn3 from the local field due to lie
received, are in and tabulated, it will '
be found that Pensacola has gone over
te top. Special attention is now to
i.-e given to the remainder of the coun
ty and of the zone.
P. Uj. Rollo has offered his services
gratis to the Salvation Army, and
leaves this morning for a trip over the
Ane, accompanied by the Misses Craw-
i ford and Dodd and Mr. and Mrs. Mc
Intyre who together will be known as
he "flying squadron." They will first
stop at Chipley and help put Wash-
ington county over the top; then they
,wiu go to Marianna, and assist th
Lvery efficient chairman for Jackso.v
county, Mrs,- C. L. Wilson; after that
they will help in any county where
help seems to be needed .trying t
wind up by Monday or Tuesday, when
it is hoped every county will have fin
ished. . ,-
Saturday Col. Hughes and the Fo-t
-ranoas band will leave
nine automobiles to help the town of
Century go over, and Monday the sam
he'p will.be given to the town of Mus
