Five Hundred Mormons in Danger.
EL PASO. Tex., March 12—Five hun
dred Mormon colonists in the Casas j

ed today by the reported presence of i
Francisco Villa and his bandits at La
/Ascension, close to the railroad over\
tv. Inch these colonists must travel be-i
tfore reaching the American border.
tMt’ch fear for their safety is entertain- i
ed. as it is practically certain all of
.them will be massacred unless Villa
is forced to abandon his present posi
tion.
Hope for the escape of these colon
ists. nearly all of whom are Americans,
is based upon the unverified rumor that'
•Villa and his men are already short'
of ammunition. Communication withl
the Mormons had not been interrupted!
at noone today when a message from !
Casas Grande stated preparations I

ATLANTA, Ga.. March 11.—Num

Instructions conferring full authority!
upon Major-General Frederick Funston

: i.lete control of the pursuit of Villa?
! according to a statement issued this
j morning by Secretary of War Baker.
' Full discretion has been vested in Gen.
i Funston to employ whatever number

General Funston with sufficient sup

and every arm of the military service
has been placed at his disposal. The
iat rial corpes, a portion of which has
been at El Paso during several months ,

[that time railroad trains a.a not run
at night—it was too dangerous. At the

I nearest stations and waited for sun

“It is a waste of time,” insisted
young Davis, who was then master of
transportation.
He startled the veteran operators by
sending out the first night train be
tween Baltimore and Cumberland. It
marked a new epoch in railroading.
Davis increased his wealth and fame
: rapidly. As a merchant, he made a
! small fortune. Then as a landholder
i in West Virginia, he came into posses
! sion of coal lands which wore destin-
I ed to make him a prince of wealth.
| Two towns in West Virginia owe
their existence and prosperity to the
multi-millionaire statesman. One
bears his name. Davis, and the other
the name of his son-in-law and politi
cal opponent, Senator Elkins. In the]
| latter city stand many memorials, hos- j

j churches, commemorative of his gen-,
jerosity.
