statement of men close to the situ
ation, whose tongues are now loosened
for the first time, according to the
New York Herald.
Alberto Madero. who directs the Ma
dero family business from El Paso,
recently left for New York. The im
pression was gained that Mr. Madero
was going to California for a rest, and
only within 24 hours has it become
known that he came to ew York, in
stead, the Herald asserts. It is com
monly reported here that Mr. Madero
came east to impress certain business
men having large Interests in northern
Mexico of the necessity of continuing
their financial support of the revolu

derstood. that it would be folly to
contradict it, the Herald says. Where
this money came from has also been
guessed with a fair degree of accuracy,
although in the absence of specific
proof, the names of contributing firms
and individuals cannot be mentioned.
Through the medium of forced loans,
confiscation, excessive war taxes and
concessions, lzrge sums of money for
the support of the revolution In the
stte of Chihuahua have been raised
by Villa and his agents, but the money
represented by this source of supply
accounts for a very small part of the
money which has been expended on
ilia's army.
Congrcnnlonnl Probe Suggested.
Nothing short of a congressional ln
vetigaticn, to embrace all "Constitu
tionalist" sources of revenue, in the
United States, during the past year will
unearth the specific facts with names
of donors and amounts of contribu
tions. Relations between the big business
interests of the state of Chihuahua and
Villa still appear to be cordial. Under
guarantees from Villa, the American
Smelting and Refining company Is pre
paring to reopen its plants. Every fa

Protection to Pear-on.
Unusual protection is being afforded
the Pearson Interest, not only along
the lines of their railroads, but also
at Madera and Pearson, where the
great lumber plant and mills are loca
ted. That relations between Pearson
officials and "ConstitutlonaHjsts" are
very cordial is Indicated by the fact
that the private car of the corporation,
which fs only used by rule by the high
est officials, is now at the disposal of
rebel leaders at all times. In several
recent trips between Juarez and Chi
huahua, the car was used bv Gen. Pi

The Giving of Concessions.
An Interesting side light on the
money raising methods under Villa, and
one which has provoked harsh criti
cism from Carranclstas and was one
of the causes of the difference be
tween Carranza and Villa, is found In
the matter of concesions In the same

Always in Herald
"Polly and Her Pals" will continue
to appear in The Herald, as usual,
when worthy of the space. The
Herald has run this comic strip
among others, for more than a year
past, always once a week and occa
sionally between times when it was
funny enough. This practice will con
tinue. One will appear every Satur
day on the comic page, along with
"Mr. Dingbat," 'Uringing Up Father,"
"Jerry on the Job" and "Mr. Jack,"
just as in the past The Herald al
ways prints the best comics.
