BANDIT IN CALIFORNIA GETS DEATH SENTENCE Rebel Host Is Marching For Attack on Ojinaga : ederals Ready With 4,000 Men to Resist Onslaught of Ortega’s Army - Plenty of Provisions on Hand (By Associated Press.) PRESIDIO, Tex., Dec. 29.—The Mexi can federal army at Ojinaga, opposite here, after being free of attack for three weeks, today made ready to en gage the first rebel torce that appear ed. With 4,000 soldiers commanded by nine generals with stores of provisions taken from the American side, the fed- erals had provided every precaution to resist the 4,200 Rebels advancing from Chihuahua under General Ortega. The rebels, fatigued and short of ra tions after their seven-day overland journey of more than 150 miles, were resting at a ranch. The rebels were reported, to have reached a canyon known as La Mula Pass, about eighteen miles southeast of here. This canyon is so long and tortuous that, in the opinion of mili tary experts, 500 soldiers might hold an army at bay there for weeks, but so far no federal skirmishes have gone out to meet the advancing rebels. It was reported 2,500 rebel cavalry had reached the south end of the pass and that the entire rebel force of 4,000 men was within a few days’ march of Ojinaga. General Francisco Castro, federal com..iand.er, said he would be able to resist the rebels indefinitely. The worst the federals expected was a siege, which would not involve great hardship because the Huerta army would be able to procure supplies from Presidio. Genera!

As the re port also stated General Huerta was talking of taking the field against the rebels, it was not considered in any way as a possible peace move.

LOS ANGELES, Cal., Dec. 29.—Ralph Fariss. alias John Bostick, on his own confession, was sentenced here today to be hanged within ninety days, for the murder pt Horace E. Montague, a pas senger agent, on December 1, when Fariss held up a Southern Pacific train at 3*11 Monte, Cal. Fariss was arraigned in the justice court, held to the superior court, ar raigned before Judge Gavin Craig, tried and sentenced in two hours and eigh teen minutes. He waived all rights and made no defense. Throughout the proceedings he clung to the name John Bostisk, which belongs to a Bakersfield, Cal., man, who once worked where Fariss was employed. He was sentenced under this name, but within an hour, when Sheriff Hammel, of Los Angeles county, told him that his parents were coming from Bakerfield to see him, he revealed his identity. “Don’t let them come,” he said. “I am Ralph Fariss and I have made trouble for them, all my life. I cannot see them now.” Fariss said his father is James Far iss, a railroad man, who has been in the Southern Pacific employ at Bakers field for twenty-five years. He also told the sheriff he had married a girl at Marion, Iowa. Fariss was picked out of a crowd in San Francisco several days ago, by A. E. Colon, who with his bride was a victim of the train robbery. He was carrying a watch which belonged to the flagman of the train, and when Sheriff Hammel started south with him he made a confession, admitting also an attempted train robbery in Richmond, Cal. He objected to the introduction of this part of his confession as evidence today. “It has nothing to do with the case,” he said, rising, and the court sustained him. Fariss is to be hanged at San Quentin penitentiary. SIR ERNEST SHACKLET0N PLANS SOUTH POLE TRIP (By Associated Press.) LONDON, Dec. 29.—Sir Ernest H.

He adds: “I have been enabled tq undertake this expedition through the generosity of a friend, and I have taken the liberty of calling the expedition ‘The Imperial Transatlantic Expedition.’ ” PASS CHRISTIAN, Miss., Dec. 29.— Although President Wilson is being courteously left to his own recreations and seclusion by the residents of this vicinity, hundreds of people in all parts of the country are pursuing him daily through the mails. The president is devoting much more time than he had expected to corre spondence. Dr. Cary Grayson, his phy sician, said today the president was improving in health slowly, but needed more rest. Accordingly, it was stated that hereafter Mr. Wilson will refraijn from attending to any communications except those of unusual importance. Of these there have been hitherto very few. Many people who are desirous of reaching the president directly have directed their letters here, knowing that there is no large staff of secre taries here, such as is maintained at the White House. However, the process here is much the same as at Washington. Only letters of an urgent character have been referred to the president by those who are handling his mail here. NO USE TO WRITE. The bulk of the correspondence, of the kind that pours in at the White House daily, covering requests. for en gagements, indorsements of candidates for office, and matters of a similar na ture, is not to be directed to the presi dent’s attention until he returns to Washington. Then it will be systemat ically condensed for hi min the cus tomary way. Among the letters which have been pouring in at Pass Christian are many indorsing various bankers and others for membership in the new federal re serve board. None of these recom mendations will be presented to the president until he returns to the White House. GOES TO CHURCH. President Wilson sat in a quaint lit tie church of Presbyterian wor ship at Gulfport Sunday, an ' in conspicuous. humble worshiper in a congregation of less than a hundred, and heard a remarkable ser mon on the personal accountability of the individual to his Maker. The president and Mrs. Wilson, ac companied by Dr. Cary T. Grayson, came unexpectedly, avoiding a crowd that had collected at the little church at Pass Christian, eight miles away, and though the Rev. Dr. Herbert Albert Janes was as surprised as any of his congregation, at the arrival of the distinguished visitors, he varied his prepared service only slightly. The presidential party motored away to Biloxi, twelve miles further east along the coast before turning back to Pass Christian. On the way the presi dent saw four aged Confederate veter ans. in uniforms of gray, hobbling along the road, leaning heavily on their canes. “How do you do?” said Mr. Wilson, as he ordered his car to stop. “Howdy,” they answered, and passed on without recognizing the president Further along the road the party saw “Beauvoir,” the old home of Jefferson Davis, with its tiny office nearby. EGGS FROM COLLEGE. Students of the Mississippi Agricul tural college at Starkville have planned to prevent President Wilson and his family from being inconvenienced by the egg famine while here. Three dozen fresh eggs today were sent to President .Wilson through the parcel post by the college students, who will continue to dispatch a supply daily. President Wilson went golfing today as usual, although heavy rains last night had transformed some of the putting greens Into veritable muji- puddles. The roads to the Mississippi Country club in many places were cov ered with water and the blue enamel of the White House motors was al most hidden beneath a coating of sandy mud. The president today said he was feeling unusually well today. EJECTED FROM THEATED, MEN START FIRE PANIC (By Associated Press.) CHICAGO, Dec., 29.—Four young men who were ejected from a West Side theater last iiight retaliated with false cry of “fire,” and precipitated a panic that might have re-enacted the scene in which seventy-two persons were killed in Calumet, Mich., on Christmas eve. The disturbers were taken out for throwing programs from , the balcony. As they were escorted down the stairs one of them shoutetd the false alarm. The crowd, In which there were many women and children, made a rush for the exit, several reaching the street by way of fire escapes. SEEK ALLEGED SLAYER OF HARTWELL BOY Prosperity and for Nation Than Wilson Predicts Happiness President That the currency iaw Is a great piece of constructive legislation and that it will accomplish as much, and more, for the happiness and prosperity of the nation than President Wilson and his advisers predict, is the opinion of Senator A. O. Bacon, who spent couple of hours in Atlanta on Wed nesday afternoon en route from Wash ington to Macon, where he will spend the holiday season. “The law enacted by the Democratic party will work wonders for the agri cultural, commercial and industrial business of the United States,” said Sneator Bacon. “The legislation was framed in deliberation. Every ’detail was considered carefully, and when its provisions are fully understood and it gets in operation its go6d effect will be felt throughout the nation.” Senator Bacon looked to be in good health, notwithstanding the tiresome railroad journey from the national cap- tal, and the long, late hours he has been keeping for the past month, to ex pedite th epassage of the currency law. The senator was several hours late reaching Atlanta, and he missed all con nections for Macon. He spent his time mingling with the shoppers in the downtown district. “It seems that every time I attempt a trip from Washington to Macon, I am held up and annoyed by delayed trains and missed connections,” said the sen ator. “The railroads have no business to attempt to run passenger trains with disabled engines, which they must know cannot keep their schedules.” Concerning the Mexican situation, with which he is perhaps more familiar than any man in America, except Presi dent Wilson, Senator Bacon retained his customary silence. He would say noth ing for publication with reference to the matter. JOYNER ASKED TO PROBE FIRES AT WAYCR0SS (Special Dispatch to The Journal.)

Yesterday he turned over to the trus tees of the church $700. This was $100 more than his accounts called for but Knell remarked that he wanted to be certain there was no shortage. From this his friends argued that he contem plated suicide several days ago. “My brother could not live without love,” said Frank Knell, the dead man’s brother, but offered no further explana tion. All four bodies were found in the same bed. Mrs. Knell at the head, her husband at the foot and the children, Edith, aged two and a half, and Henry, aged three, and a half, between them.
