NEED IS PEACE, VILLA SAYS IN SURRENDERING Mexican Bandit Chief's Men To Be Given Farms He Will Retire to His Plantation.

CAREER IS PICTURESQUE (By Associated Press) . MEXICO CITY. July 29. "I am surrendering unconditionally because the country needs peace for reconstruc tion," said Francisco Villa today when I he met General Martinez, chief of operauons in tne states or (joanuiia ana Nuevo Leon, at the railroad station in Sabina. When General Martinez who is arranging surrender terms with Villa, arrived at the station, the rebel general approached him with head uncovered and hand extended. Villa will make his residence at Nieves, Zacatecas, after disbanding his troops at Torreon, according to a government communication. His men, It is added, will go from Sabina to Torreon on foot. Villa's men, newspaper accounts say were offered two trains, but refused to use them. Each of the 600 soldiers will receive a year's pay to get a start in life. Villa was restored to full citizenship. Villa also was given a yearly allowance by the Mexican government, the report added. Lived With Price on Head. A rise from bandit with a price on bis head to one of the dominant figures in Mexico, and a fall again to outlawry, comprises the career of Francisco Villa, a man both loved and hated as no other has been in Mexico since the time of Benito Juarez. Born In 1868, in the little mining town of Las Nievas. Durango, of peon parents, he followed the trade of butcher until the death of his father.! when he and his mother and sister went to western Chihuahua. There he became a vaquero on one of the great cattle ranches. He became a terror to the well-to-do of northern Chihuahua, laughing at the attempts of Federal troops and rurales to capture him. The spoils his band acquired from the rich land owners and mining men were frequently shared with the poor peons. At the time of the Madero rebellion against Diaz in 1910, Villa joined the ill-fated revolutionary leader and did yeoman service with his band in the fighting about Juarez. When Madero sent General Victorland Huerta to break the Orozco rebellion, Huerta tnd Villa clashed. Huerta finally had Villa arrested, sent to the city of Mexico and condemned to death. Madero had the sentence commuted to imprisonment. While confined, Villa taught himself to read and write. He then escaped and sought refuge across the Texas border. Aids Carranza. When Huerta declared himself dictator after Madero's death in 1913, and Carranza raised the banner of revolt in Coahuila, Villa again crossed the border to take a hand against hla old-time enemy. In little more than a year he held power of life and death over a victorious army of 35,000 men. The larger part of his equipment he captured from the enemy. Over 4,000 men and eight generate c fthe federal army took refuge in the United States and were interned, after Villa's victory at Ojlnaja. He then followed this success by a desperate attack upon Torreon, a federal strong, hold, which he stormed after a short. Beige, In a desperate hand-to-hand attack. Breaks With Carranza. Then came Carranza's victory and his break with Villa, who decicded to filay a lone hand. Then In turn came he most wildly daring act of his reckless career, the attack, March 9, 1915, on the American town of Columbus, N. M.,and its garrison of three troops of American cavalry, resulting in ths dispatch of United States soldiers into Mexico. Whatever his crimes, and they were many, none could doubt Villa's courage. He loved fighting for its own sake and seemed happiest when tinder fire. WASHINGTON. D. C, July 29. Official confirmation of the surrender of Francisco Villa to the federal government of Mexico was received at the Ftate department today from the American consul at Piegras Nedras. MEXICALI. Lower California, July 28. Governor Estaban Cantu. of the northern district of Lower California, declared by LTnder-Secretary of the Interior Venezuela to be in "open rebellion against the Mexican government," today pushed toward preparations to resist an "expected invasion" of Lower California by Mexican federal troops. Governor Cantu professed astonishment at the Venezuela charges, which he declared were without foundation. The governor said friends had advised him the Mexican provisional government was sending two bodies of troops, numbering about 3.000, against him and that he would have an army of 4.000 men ready within four days to take the field against the federal forces. Governor Cantu's military forces include three airplanes. Sept. 19-25 Selected As Date G. A. R. Encampment (Bv Associated Press) COLUMBUS. O..

RETRENCHMENT, NEW, STRANGE, VIRTUE, IS PRACTICED BY PUBLIC

Retrenchment is the sign of the times, according to Richmond bankers. Refusal on the part of many banks to make loans for the purchase of automobiles, diamonds and other luxuries will be an important factor in reducing the high cost of living, they believe. The decreasing demand for luxuries will, they say, pave the way for increasing production of the necessities, the simple and fundamental rule of supply and demand will function, and prices will eventually take the downward trend. A simple standard of living, without the frills and furbelows with which the American people have surrounded themselves in their seemingly endless orgy of spending,. Is the best possible remedy for the money ills that have menaced the pocketbooks of our peo ple, the bankers agree. t Economy Was Bitter Medicine "It must not be assumed that the sudden check on spending is entirely voluntary on the part of the public. On the contrary, the medicine has been very bitter, and it is with a feeling of reluctance, and almost petudance, that the public met the changed money situation. Bankers point out that curtailment is necessary in order to bring about any noticeable change in prices. Men who have been working for high wages will not receive any wage-cutting with submissiveness. A general and sudden wage-cut would be met with strikes that would tie up the industries of the country within a few hours. The revision must come about from the curtailment of non-essentials, leaving more labor free to enter essential industries. The influx of competitive labor, robbed of its sinecure, will make possible the payment of lower wages. "Live Happy Ever After" The decrease in wages will be met by increased production of essentials, and subsequent lower price of necessary products. It is an endless cycle and will have a "live happy ever after" ending, bankers believe, if It comes about gradually. Curtailment of unessential will also mean a flow of labor back to the farms, it is predicted. The swiftly ; increasing current of farm boys com-, ing to the cities seeking high wages In factories has been viewed with alarm. v During the shut-down of the Maxwell automobile factory at Newcastle it is pointed out that a large number' of the men who were laid off returned , to the farms surrounding Newcastle n.uu were oi great assistance to tne farmers in the harvest season. Don't See It With Alarm ..Curtailment should sot be viewed with alarm,' bank; officials say, but should be welcomed as a prime factor In increasing production of essentials and providing abundance of labor for the farmers who bear the brunt of' feeding the country. The lament of the Swedish farmer in Michigan, whose boys had all gone to the city to work in the factories, in which he said he didn't blame the I the boys for going to town where they could make big money, but asked, "Who da hell goto' to work the farm when I'm gone?" is likely to be answered soon by a reverse current of boys who will be glad to crawl back to the shelter of the old farm. W. M. NELSON, FORMER PASTOR HERE, IS DEAD The Rev. Wilbur M. Nelson, pastor of the local Grace M. E. church from April, 1905, to April, 1909, died at the Methodist hospital In Indianapolis, Tuesday night following an illness of a year. He was 64 years old. He had been preaching for approximately 41 years. Many local residents remember him and were members of the church while he occupied the pastorate. His wife died only about three weeks ago. Funeral services will be held at the Fletcher Place church, Indianapolis, Friday, at 10 a. m. Burial will be in Noblesvllle, Ind., Friday, at 1 p. m. The Rev. C. E. Bacon, district superintendent at Indianapolis, and the Rev. Philip W. Corya, pastor of the Fletcher Place church, will officiate. "WE MUST ASSIMILATE HIM," SAYS HEAD (By Associated Press) LOUISVILLE, Ky., July 29 Congressman King Swope, of Kentucky, who was chairman of the house subcommittee which recently completed an investigation of Japanese immigration to Pacific coast states, declared in a statement Issued here today that this country has "reached a point where we should not permit any unassimilable race to fill up our Pacific states or any other states". He said the "privilege of entry of any and all Immigrants should be predicated upon their ability and desire to become real, loyal, patriotic Americans". The sub-committee will report to the house committee when congress assembles in December. Mr. Swope declined to say what recommendation will be made. Hard to Understand "It Is rather difficult for the people of the east and the south fully to appreciate the Japanese immigration question and its effect upon the Pacific coast," said Mr. Swope. "When we realize that about 100,000 of the approximately $150,000 Japanese in thi3 country live in California we can readily see why the Californlans view with great alarm a continued Japanese immigration. Washington, Oregon and California in particular seem to represent an earthly paradise to the Japanese because of their favorable climate and fertile soil. As . a result about four fifths of the total Japanese population in the United States live in these three states. "The Californlans allege," Mr.

Francisco

What to do with Francisco Villa is the question which is disturbing Mexican officials. The United States may ask his extradition for trial for killing many American citizens at Columbus, N. M., in 1916.

$2,000,000 WAR MEMORIAL BILL IS PASSED BY LEGISLATURE; BUILDING IN INDIANAPOLIS

(By Associated Press) INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., July 29. Agreement was reached upon the building of a $2,000,000 war memorial by the house and senate of the Indiana legislature today. Tha building, will house 4 a national headquarters of the American Legion and will provled a meeting place for all patriotic societies. Both houses ratified reports of the committees to which the war memorial bills, passed by the house and senate, have been referred. While the houses were meeting this morning the conference committees were considering tax legalization bills. Both houses adjourned until 2 p. m. HopeTo Adjourn Tonight Just before the morning adjournment of the house, Speaker Eschbach urged all the members to be prompt In attendance, and added that it Is hoped that a eine die adjournment can be had tonight. The tax bills in conference are the home rule measure granting local units authority over bond issues and tax levies, now held by the state board, and the remedial tax bill, dealing with horizontal increases in 1919 assessments and declared invalid by the supreme court. The war memorial bill, which now goes to the governor, provides for a tax levy which will in six years raise approximately $2,000,000 to be used in building a war memorial on the ground now occupied by the State Blind School and St Clair park in InIndlanapolis. The ground la donated by the state for the memorial building. The senate transacted no business of importance except the ratification of the war memorial report. The house session was also brief. Passes Road Men's Bill The house reconsidered Us vote of yesterday killing the bill of Senator Bainum, of Vincennes, which would JAP OR EXCLUDE OF PROBE COMMITTEE Swope said, "that the 'gentlemen's agreement' Is being violated and that thousands of Japanese immigrants are entering this country surreptiously every year by way of the Mexican border. And in support of that statement they offer the fact that the Japanese population in California has doubled since 1913. Jap Is Thrifty Man "It must be said the Jap is thrifty and as soon as he saves something from his earnings he goes into business for himself, usually farming. As a result they are acquiring great tracts of land in California and taking over whole communities. As the Japanese would come in many whites would move out, because as they stated, they did ndt like the new environment and could not compete with the Japanese owing to their different standard of living. "These facts led to the passage by the California legislature in 1913 of tne anti-alien land law, which made illegal for those who are not eligible for naturalization to own land, or to lease it for more than three years. But the Japanese have evaded that law to such an extent that it practically serves no purpose at all. Puts Boy's Name on Deed For instance, a Japanese who Is precluded by that law from owning land buy the land in the name of his Infant native-born child, and becomes the guardian of such child. The Japanese also form corporations with white 'dummy' directors and acquire land in enormous acreages.

At last accounts tho Bolshevik! were within the outskirts of Bialystock, the fall of which is expected to occur at any minute. The newspapers are advocating the immediate construction of trenches, fortifications and other works for the defense of Warsaw before the Bolshevlki advance closely. The Bolshevik drive in Galicia In the direction of Lemberg Is developing rapidly despite Polish resistance. In the center, the Poles hold Pmsk, but if the Red advance continues the Poles will be compelled to evacuate the Pripet country. The Pinsk-Brest-Litov8k railroad already is threatened Are Getting Near Lemberg. In Galicia the fighting has reached a point 70 klllometres east of Lemberg, with the Bolshevik! bearing down upon the city from . three directions. In the south. General Budenny, the Russian cavalry commander, has re inforced his army with runabout armored cars carrying machine guns, which fight their way through roads and open country while the horsemen keep to the wooded region and rough country. General Budenny also has machine guns on carts drawn by four horses. These are brought up in the cavalry's rear and are used when the Cossacks make a stand. Along the Zbrucz and Styr rivers, northeast of Lemberg, the operations consist chiefly of Infantry fighting. The cavalry is operating in the Rovno and Lutzk regions endeavoring to cut the railroads leading to Kovel and other railroad Junctions vital to the Poles in their movement of troops. Operating In Poland Proper. Fighting in the north when there is fighting is chiefly by the infantry, though the Bolshevikl have a cavalry division at the tip of their right wing The cavalry Is already operating across the Niemen river in the direction or East Prussia and to the south in Poland proper. Much territory has been gained by the Reds on this front but the advances are made on ground evacuated by the Poles who were outflanked or withdrew because the Poles were outnumbered by the Red forces. PARIS, July 29.

KIRLIN'S WAY OF HANDLING NOTES SHOWM Orders Reveal "Double-Acting" System of Sending Notes Through Connersville Bank. CASH PAWN NOTES

Evidence of the confusion which exists in effecting a settlement of the affairs of the Farmers Bank of Milton, Ind., which suspended business, July 6, following the suicide of the cashier, Oscar M. Kirlin, was furnished Thursday by orders issued by Judge William A. Bond of the Wayne circuit court, acting on petitions submitted by the receiver for the bank, Claude Kitterman, of Cambridge City, Ind. In one order Judge Bond authorized the appointment of an expert accountant to assist the receiver in the investigation of the bank's affairs. Another order directs the surrender of original notes held by George J. Klemme, for $3,000, and by Ed Wilson, for $1,700, upon payment of copy notes, each in the form of a renewal and held by the First National Bank of Connersville, Ind., which were executed by Kirlin without authority. This order further authorizes the receiver to treat all similar circumstances in the same way. Cash Is Applied on Note. A third order directs that $1,000 of the $2,000 in cash found in the bank when it suspended business be paid over to the First . National Bank, of Connersville to be applied to a note for $4,500 taken out with the Farmers' bank by Edgar R. Beeson. It is set forth in the petition that on April 2, last, Beeson executed the note which was then transferred to the First National Bank of Connersville, which was the reserve bank for the Milton bank, and discounted. It is stated that on May 10 Beeson paid Kirlin $1,000 to be applied upon the note. Kirlin, however, kept the money at his own bank. It is understood that Beeson held a receipt to show that he had made payment of $1,000 to Kirlin on the note. According to representations made to the court by Receiver Kitterman, it had been the custom of Kirlin when he was unable to promptly secure a renewal of a note, for him to draw up a copy note in the form of a renewal and return the copy note to the Connersville bank, retaining the original note at the Fanners bank as the real evidence of the debt Ator which the original note had been executed. To Settle Original Debts. As the copy notes and the original notes represent the same debt, in such Instances, the receiver is authorized to compound the copy and the original notes and make settlement with the note executors at the amount of the original debt as evidenced by the original note. As stated, the order Is made directly applicable for the settlement of the notes of George J. Klemme and Ed. Wilson, but covers all cases similar to theirs. It is stated in the receiver's petition that there probably were other cases similar to those of Klemme and Wilson. It is further stated that in such instances when Kirlin prepared a copy note in the form of a renewal, upon the maturity of an original note, then rediscounted such copy notes at the Connersville bank, he did so without the knowledge or consent of the officers of the Farmers bank, other than himself, and of the officers of the Connersville bank. One of the most Interesting recent developments in the Farmers' bank failure is the fact that the bond Kirlin was supposed to have given as cashier of the institution cannot be located. At the time the bank was closed it was stated that Kirlin was under a blanket bond, the bondsmen being the cashier's father, Omar Kirlin, and the estate of the late Lycurgus Beeson.

STATE'S MINES STILL HALF IDLE; REPORTS SENT TO PRESIDENT

He estimated Indiana coal production at about 25 per cent below normal. WASHINGTON. D. C July 29. Secretary Wilson's report on the coal situation in general with particular emphasis on conditions in Illinois and Indiana, was sent today to President Wilson. While the secretary refused to discuss the nature of the report, it was intimated at the department of labor that among the recommendations was one that the award of the bituminous coal commission be reopened on the ground that an equitable adjustment of the pay of day laborers in the mines had never been made. SPRINGFIELD, 111.. July 29. The situation in the striking Illinois coal field is very promising, holding prospect of a settlement to the satisfaction of the miners' demands within the next two days.

WHY WAS FUND OF COUNTY IN MILTON BANK? Examiners Ask Reason for Deposits Issued to Ed Weidner Camp's Report Says Institution Solvent. XIRLIN'S BOND MISSED

(Special to The Palladium.) INDIANAPOLIS. July 29. Although the state banking department is no longer concerned in the affairs of the Farmers' Bank of Milton, Ind., because the bank is now in the hands of a receiver officials of the department are speculating on the fact that Oscar M. Kirlin, who was cashier of the Milton bank and who committed suicide the first of this month, issued seven or eight $5,000 certificates of deposit to E. J. Weldner. easuer of Wayne county. Why Weidner should have such an account with the Farmers Bank at Milton Is questioned. The books of the bank showed deposits by Weldner of only $50. One of the certificates issued for $5,000, It is stated, was returned to the bank the day Kirlin shot himself. "Solvent" In September, 1919. In the light of the present chaotic condition in the affairs of the Farmers' Bank at Milton the report submitted to the state bank department by one of its examiners, Charles F. Hurst, under date of Sept. 15, 1919. on the last examination previous to the suicide of Kirlin, is of interest. This report reads: "This bank is solvent. Capital unimpaired. They claim no bad loans. Past paper due is large. They claim it Is borrowed by farmers and that it is all good. I ordered it renewed or collected immediately.- They are badly overloaned. I ordered them to cease loaning and take up their rediscount. Also ordered them to raise their reserve. Officers are capable and, I believe, honest. Books are fairly well kept and in balance except C. D., which is $50 off. Ordered them to locate the difference and advise me. Loan to officer charged off during examination." Charles Camp, chief of the state bank department, reiterates his statement that there will be no loss to depositors as the stockholders are all well to do and liable for every cent they own. Bond Page is Torn Out. Mr. Camp sees something peculiar in the fact that Kirlin's bond for $20,000 is missing. At the September examination of the bank Kirlin was ordered to provide this bond and he later reported to the bank department, in February, 1920 that he had done so. The bond cannot.be located but there is evidence that it was torn out of a book in which it had been pasted. The report made last September on the Milton bank also disclosed that there were 27 accounts overdrawn for an aggregate of $842; that there were on hand $31,600 of Liberty bonds; deposits of $136,954 and rediscounted notes with the First National bank of Connersville, Ind., amounting to $124,560.
