Ariz., was lodged in jail at Ebettsburg charged with murder.
The children had been dead some time when discovered.. An examination by
a physician showed that the necks of both, boys had been broken and the doctor
expressed the opinion that both necks had been severely twisted.
It is alleged that Mrs. Bankhead committed the crime because her husband

Contreras Shows No Fear.
Capt Contreras had been in Juarez
for several months and was an officer
of the 16th battalion of regulars. Be
sides being military instructor to the
recruits enlisted at Juarez, he was
judge of the military court. He was
captured Saturday morning, when the
'cuartel general" surrendered to the
revolutionists. No trace of fear was
discernible as he stood erect and turned
his eyes on the five men who faced him
with loaded rifles.

the first battle of Juarez. The death
sentence was read to him in his cell at
the Juarez jail, nearly half a mile from
the place of execution. Shrugging his
shoulders in characteristic Mexican
fashion, he rose from his chair, threw
an overcoat across his arm and walked,
almost jauntily, to his death. He waved
good-bye to a group of American
friends whom he passed on the way to
the cemetery.

MEXICO CITT HEARS OF
TUB FALL OF JUAREZ
Mexico City, Mex., Nov. 17. News of
the fall of Juarez was received too late
Sunday to be generally known. Mex
ican officials admit the fall of Juarez,
but no one was quoted or gave any
definite statement.
The French minister's wife left late
last night for Veracruz. The situation
is very tense.
President Wilson Denies
O'Shaughnessyls Ordered
From Mexico.
BRYAN PROBES THE
JUAREZ EXECUTIONS
W
ASHINGTON. D. C Nov. 17.
President Wilson does not re
gard the Mexican situation as j
having reached any such critical stage
as to require the closing of the Ameri
can embassy. Discussing reports to
that effect today, he said charge
O'Shaughnessy neither had been given
his passports nor had he been told
to come back.
No Change In Policy.
Summing up the status of affairs,
the president indicated that while the
personal attitude of Gen. Huerta might
have changed, the circumstances on
which the American government bases
its conviction that Huerta's elimina
tion is inevitable, have not changed at
all.
It was made plain at the white
house that the peremptory resignation
of minister Aldape did not affect ma
terially the American plans, as it was
pointed out that no scheme that this
government might have could very
well depend on the permanency of
any member of the Huerta cabinet.
Probe Juarez Executions.
Secretary Bryan has ordered an in
vestigation of the executions at Jua
rez, but thus far has been unable to
reconcile conflicting- reports.
On representations made by consul
Thomas J. Edwards at the direction
of the state department. Friends Bal
lin, an American, reported In danger
of execution, has been released at Jua
rez. Consul Edwards reported Ballin's
life had not been in danger.
Rear admiral Boush, on the battle
ship Louisiana, has been instructed ta
demand the release of several Ameri
cans detained by the Constitutional
ists" at Tuxpam.
Executions Displeases Wilson.
President Wilson is exceedingly dis
pleased at Pancho Villa's wholesale
execution qf federal prisoners at
Juarez. In conversation with senators
at the white house today the president
expressed his displeasure at Villa's
bloddy reprisals. The executions have
seriously prejudiced the cause of the
"Constitutionalists" with the president.
On the outcome of the investigation
of these executions will depend the ad-
(ministration's Suture steps.'
-'-- No' llnn for Mediation: "
President Wllsott's plans for the
ousting of HuerUi were more myster
ious today than ever. There is, ac
cording to unquestionable authority, no
-plan of mediation on foot. There is no
intention on the part of the administra
tion to withdraw either 0Shaughnessy
or Lind from Mexico, and thereby break
off negotiations. Nor have O'Shaugh
nessy or Lind been ordered from Mex
ico. Dr. William Bayard Hale has been
instructed to make no overtures to
Carranza look'ng to the cooperation of
the rebel chieftain in the plans of the
United States.
Negotiations Not Broken.
Negotiations between charge O'
Shaughnessy and John Lind and the
Haerta government in Mexico are con
tinuing, according to dispatches re
ceived at the state department, but no
tangible conclusions have been reached.
William Bayard Hale, who has been
industriously conferring with the "Con
stitutionalists" at their Nogales head
quarters, has also telegraphed at
length to department. The administra
tion here is confident of the ultimate
retirement of Huerta as well as satis
factory assurances from "Constitu
tionalists" of a cessation of the hos
tilities pending the establishment of
some kind of a provisional government
after Huerta is eliminated from the
central government. 1
1 Pressure Front Eurone
Press.ure has been brought to bear
upon wuerta irom tne .European gov
ernments, the latest of which was the
effort of sir Lionel Carden, British
minister.
The failure to secure a quorum In
the senate is attributed to the Catho
lics, and there is much curiosity here
as to whether their opposition to mak
ing a quorum was in opposition to Gen.
Huerta, -or was by his suggestion.
Officials are discussing the possibil
ity that the supposedly refractory sen
ators will come into "the line for the
purpose of declaring not only the Ille
gality of the presidential election, but
of the congress as well. Such a
declaration would result in an adjourn
ment sine die of the congress. This
would mean complete defeat of the ef
fort to secure immediate congressional
approval for the many important con
cessions, understood to have been
recommended by the Huerta regime.
Wilson's Program Delayed.
Meanwhile, the failure of congress to
effect even a preliminary organization
in both branches delays the execution
of so much of the program of president
Wilson as was to be put in operation
as soon as the body was in full legis
lative action. No one outside of the
president's council chamber is aware
of the nature of the program, but it Is

Bees As Makers of Canjy; The
Honey Making Industry Growing
ASHINGTON, D. C, Nov. 17.-
t most of the agricultural
fairs this season, the exhibits
of comb and extracted honey, includ
ing granulated honey pressed into
solid candy form, beeswax of different
grades and also of the various appli
ances for .the bee keeping Industry are
larger and more important than ever
before This is due to the growing
recognition of the value of tne bee's
service to the human race. The honey
production of the United States is val
ued at $25,000,000 annually, but in the
opinion of the bureau or entomology
the service the bees render in the fer
tilization of fruit trees and other crops
is worth many times that sum.
The effect of placing bee hhes in
the midst of apple, pear and peach or
chards Is hela responsible for a great
Improvement in several varieties of
each of these fruits. A single bee may
visit 10,000 blossoms to secure an
ounce of honey. A thrifty hive of
bees contain an average of from 80,000
to 100,000 bees. This is sufficient for
the pollenation of two acres of land.

a
I
F THE federals at Chihuahua do
not move against us. we will
proceed against them." ' This
brief but significant declaration was
made Monday morning In Juarez at the
custom house where rebel leader Gen.
Villa has his headquarters, by an of
ficer high in revolutionary ranks. The
general himself was not at headquar
ters. He is securing some much needed
rest. Just when the campaign against
the Chihuahua federals will be re
sumed is not known.
Rumors were current Sunday that
the federals under Gen. Salvador Mer
cado had already left Chihuahua and
were marching against Juarez, but no
confirmation of it could be secured.
Rebel officials say that they do not
believe such a movement Is yet . on
foot.
Reinforcements Arrive.
The arrival in Juarez at 10 oclock
Sunday night of two trains bearing
rebel artillery and cavalry has added
to the military appearance of the bor
der town. Nine field pieces, captured
by Villa at Torreon, were aboard the
first train to reach the Mexican Cen
tral station from the south. The guns
are 75.S0 millimeter pieces. Command
ing the artillery was Lieut. Col. Pablo
Servin.
Closely following the artillery train
was another train bearing an escort of
600 cavalry, commanded by Col. A. Or
nelas. This second force reached Jua
rez about 11 oclock. Artillery, cavalry
and infantry are now in the border
town.
Villa Has . . Men Novr.
The total strength of the force Gen.
Villa has under him at Juarez Is about
3000 men, besides 12 pieces of artillery
and six machine guns. Three cannon
and six machine guns were captured
when Ju&rez fell into revolutionary
hands Saturday. Strung alon the
border half way to Chihuahua are
3500 rebel cavalrymen under Gens.
Aguirre Rodriguez, Toribio Ortega and
Rosalio Hernandez. Most of this force
is moving overland and by rail, to
ward Juarez and is expected .to reach
its destination Tuesday.
Catro nt Guadalupe?
Gen. Frsseisco. Castro, command Br
f wC'tlfc-rdeY2a- gjrtrFstirt, whf esp"Sa
irom Juarez, snortiy aner me opening
of the battle Saturday morning, is re
ported to be at Guadalupe -with SO fed
eral regulars. Guadalupe is a village
near the river, 58 miles east of Juarez.
Intimate friends of the little general
who "beat it" when the fight started,
are said to have been in communica
tion with lvim from El Paso.
Castro's complete disappearance from
Juarez and his failure to be found on
the Ameriran side of the boundary line
was mystiying as well as aggravating
to the rebels. Saturday night a Mexi
can reported to Villa's headquarters
that he had seen Castro and his chief
of staff fleeing past the race track In
an eastern direction about 3 oclock
Saturday morning. The fact that the
federal general has nearly 100 men
him accounts for the disappearance of
about 190 men -when a count of the
prisoners was made by the rebels at
the close of hostilities.
I'edernI Prisoners Taken.
A detachment of rebel cavalry Is
said to have left Juarez to find Cas
tro and his men. but this could not be
confirmed at rebel headquarters. Eight
mounted federal volunteers, heavily
armed, were captured Sunday after
noon In the hills opposite the El Paso
smelter by a rebel patrol. The prison
ers were taken to the "cuartel gen
eral." Captured on This Side.
Lieut Col. Florentino Govea; Lieut.
Carlos Velasquez Mendez and privates
Antonio Cuaron and Cruz Lujan of the
Mexican federal army are military pris
oners at Fort Bliss. Govea' was' cap
tured by the El Paso police, and Men
dez surrendered to the United States
officers at the Santa Fe bridge during
the battle of Juarez. What the gov
ernment will do with the prisoners has
not yet been determined.
Jose Ferro Garza; an employe of the
custom house in Juarez, escaped from
the town when the rebels attacked It
Saturday morning and came to El Paso.
He drove down to "Washington park
and crossed there. He says that nearly
all of the custom house employes es
caped to El Paso.
Gives His Men Uniforms.
The doorway to the jefature de armas
on Lerdo avenue, where Villa spent
Sunday, was crowded by the curious
who had followed him down the street,
and a score of photograplfers who
begged him to stand alone In the door
way in order that they might take his
picture.
The real purpose of Villa's visit to
the jefatura was to superintend the
distribution of uniforms, blankets, arms
and ammunition which were given to
his men. Each one got a complete
new khaki uniform and a large blanket.

been placed. When the blossoming

the various insects which visited the
flowers. The bees exceeded all others

in the Mexican cabinet. Gen. Aureliano

to have had a misunderstanding with
president Huerta, which may cause

It was expected that a further at

The chamber of deputies was or

Washington is a question neither th
Mexicans nor the foreigners here find
an easy one to answer, but there was
noticeable today an Increasing exores
sion of opinion that the United States
would continue her "hands off" policy.
Report Chihuahua Capture.
It was reported unofficially today
that Chihuahua has been captured. The
war department, however, has little in
formation regarding the military op
erations, especially those in 'the north,
in which the rebels are said to be vic
torious. The situation about Tuxpam.
the center of the oil industry, is de
scribed as acute. The rebels are urging
the foreigners to cap their wells and
to leave them, as-the rebels don't pro
pose to. leave an unrestricted supply of
fuel oil for the railroads nor to enable
alfalfa crop in California and Texas.
Because of this service for -crop im
provement bees are receiving more
care than formerly. Modern Dee keeping
methods no longer permit a man to set
up a few hives and then neglect them,
expecting to harvest his honey at no
expense of labor to himself. In most
of the states rigid laws have been
passed compelling a bee owner to keep
his hives in sanitary condition. The
farmer who will not do this will not
be permitted to retain them. He may
pass them over to his neighbor and
still benefit from their services as pol
lenizers. as it has been found that
their services extend at least a square
mile from the hive.

Veracruz. On the train with him were
200 soldiers. It was announced that

be best to accede to that portion at
least of Washington's demands which
meant the total abandonment of power

is said to have been the only one with
sufficient courage to discuss the situ

NOT I C E
To Herald Subscribers dnd Advertisers:
T
HE EL PASO HERALD has decided to return to the old six-day bassis
of publication. There will be no more Sunday morning paper for
local city delivery, although a Sunday paper will be furnished to mail
subscribers as before the seven-day schedule was adopted.
This change is made in direct compliance with the wish of a majority
of The Herald's subscribers. When the enlarged Sunday paper was put
on for local delivery, it was believed that It was in accord with the desire
of the majority. Experience has convinced The Herald management that
the greater part of the city subscribers weie better pleased, and will be
better pleased, to have their big Week-End pI-er on Saturdav evening
instead of Sunday morning, and the old schedule will be resumed.
But not exactly as before. For the Week-End Herald will be per
manently enlarged, and made much stronger, and wider in its appeal to
all classes of the people. The special featurer, that have made the paper
so very popular in its new form will be continued and added to. The
Week-End Herald, delivered Saturday in El Paso and Sunday in the out
side field, will be permanently maintained upon its present metropolitan
standards.
For El Paso city and vicinity. The Week-End Herald on Saturday
evening will be, as always, the favorite newspaper For the outside field,
for a distance of many hundreds of miles in every direction. The Week
End Herald will be the First and Best Sunday newspaper that can be
obtained.
Illustrating the extent to which The Herald is prepared to go to keep
the paper more than abreast with southwestern progress, it is timely to
state that The Herald has just ordered for immediate delivery, two new
Linotype typesetting machines of latest model, costing $5000. The-e. new
machinos, which a-e expected to arrive this week, will give The Herald
a battery of nine of these machines, the largest equipment in its field.
In announcing the change back to the six-day schedule. The Herald
desires especially to thank the advertisers and subscribers whose ex
tensive patronage from the very first issue made the new seventh-dav
paper possible. In every Sunday issue The Herald has carried an immense
volume of advertising, demonstrating the pulling power of Herald adver
tisements. And of the nine isrues of the new paper which have been
published, the lowesi circulation in any one week was 17.300. the h.gheyt
20.150, and the average of the nine issues 18.093. demonstrating as nothing
else could do. the high esteem in which The Herald i3 held throughout
the southwest.
It is the hope and expectation of the management that The Herald
in Its new and enlarged form, on the changed schedule, will be able to give
its advertisers and subscribers such splendid service that the volume of
business will continue to grow. As the volume of business grows, the
management maintains, its consistent policy. aiwas followed, of putting
the earnings of the newspaper right cack into making a stronger and
better paper, and from this policy there will be no deviation in the future,
as there has been none in the past.
The Herald belongs to the people, to all the people and it shall always
be run. as it has always ben run, with a view to giving the people the
greatest possible service at the least cost to them consistent with the
firm maintenance of the newspaper's high standards.
The change back to the six-day schedule will be specially w elcome t
all the employed forces of The Herald, numbering some 125 on the payroll
tn the city, exclusive of the selling organization. The-added issue in the
week has meant a hard grind for everybody, in spite of the liberal hiring
of additional help and the arranging of a regular relief schedule The
making of two complete newspapers within a space of 20 hours inevitably
mc:int a strain upon the majority of employes in all departments, due to
the long pull, and the management is stronglv influenced ip its de.-ision
by the disinclination to continue an arrangement involving; such a severe
tax upon the splendid force of workers making up the newspaper organ
ir.ation. The publishers take particular pleasure in publiclv acknowledging
the loyal service and cooperation that have been ungrudgingly extemlel
by the whole crew
