The New Wool Suitings and the WHILE THE POLICE ARE IN IDLENESS Sheriff's Force Keeps Trying to Enforce Law. Deputy Willis With His Eagle Eye Spots Another Serving Beer at No. 712. Deputy Sheriff William Willis is "in bad" with the managers of several pool halls on East Douglas Avenue. They say he happens around at inopportune moments and arrests them for selling booze.

HE BELIEVES VILLA WAS KILLED LONG AGO Resident of Mexico Does Not Think the Bandit Leader Is Leading the Bandits. "I believe that Francisco Villa is dead and this belief is shared by hunof thousands of the people of Mexico," declared Ludowigo von Ruecau of Manzanillo, today. Mr. Ruecau, who is a.

citizen, of the United States and who staying at the Manhattan Hotel, is in Wichita on a little private business in connection with some mining interests of his in Mexico. The state of Jalisco, in which Mr. Ruecau lives, is near the center of Mexico. He declares that he has no trouble with the Mexicans whatever. He has in his employ 200 to 250 Mexicans and Yaqui Indians all the time and they are as peaceable as, the people of this, country, he says.

The manager business while he is away from home is a full-blood Yaqui Indian and Mr. Ruecau says he considers him as reliable as any white man. Only Mexicans and Indians are employed by him. Mr. Ruecau says that there are many Americans in that part of Mexio and that they are not disturbed in any manner by the Mexicans.

He Blames W. R. Hearst. "I want to tell you that Hearst and a lot of other Americans who are interested in Mexico are doing more than anything else to make trouble between the two countries by the fernal lies they are telling," said Mr. Ruecau.

"There is trouble among the Mexican people, of course, but I think Carfanza will finally settle that. If this government had kept on the embargo placed on arms and ammunition by President Taft, the war there would have been ended long ago. "Another thing. I see that some fellow has a moving picture showing Villistas assaulting women in the costume of Catholie nuns. This is another dirty piece of work.

To begin, with, there are no nuns in Mexico in costume as they are in this country. It is contrary to law, and has been since 1859, under President Juarez. In all my fourteen years residence in Mexico I have never known of a Mexican soldier assaulting a woman. They would be likely to steal a brass ring, but Mexicans, as I know them, are not given to mistreating women." 000 000000000000 000000000 0000 0.0 DEATH RECORD 0000 0000000000000000000 O'LEARY--Funeral services of Tom O'Leary will be held tomorrow at the St. Mary's Cathedral at 10 a.

Eva May Bishop of Kiowa and they were married by Squire Garrison of Medicine Lodge Saturday night. Wichita heard a great deal of the matrimonial efforts of Officer Snyder It was much talked of about a month ago. Some of the other police officers said he had offers from 3,000 widows, but that was un exaggeration. "I'll tell you honestly and truly," said Snyder, in the presence of his new wife, "that I never had more than fifteen women under consideration. It finally narrowed down to three outside of Wichita, and they were this lady, now my wife, a lady at Alva, and a lady at Great Bend.

Bride Was Less Talkative. "I never had this woman in my calculations at all until August 3, when I met her by appointment at Kiowa. The moment I saw her I spotted her as tne, but to be fair I wanted to see the Alva woman." "How did you really win her?" he was asked. "Well, I'll tell you just how it happened," said the groom, when the hand of the bride was placed in his. "Honey," she said, "don't tell that.

It's all over now. I had as much fun in the matter as you had, and let us keep it all for ourselves." Mr. Snyder wanted to tell the story, but she looked so charmingly at him under her blue velvet hat, trimmed with a beautiful ostrich plume, that he yielded to her entreaties. "I was fair with him," said the bride. "When he came to Kiowa I offered to Introduce him to forty other widows of the town.

Wasn't that fair enough?" He Insured His Life. "She did that," said Mr. Snyder. "I must say that she was fair in that respect, but I didn't take her up. To tell you the truth, the moment I first spotted her I knew that she and me was meant for one another.

And I gave up all the others. I went and got my life insured for her, for you know that as a policeman I am likely to get my head shot off at any time. I was always good to my first wife and you bet I'll be good to this one." "And so saying he patted her hand that was resting on her lap. And then she laughed and suggested that it would have been a joke on him if, after insuring his life for her, and in her name, she hadn't married him. "I didn't have to insure for her," said the officer, "for has two fine farms of her own." "Will you take John back the farm," was asked.

"Oh, we'll live here," said Mrs. Snyder. "You bet we will," said the officer. "She'll get between $1,200 and $1,500 a year out of the farms and I'll continue to work in the police department. We both agreed in everything and we both very happy.

I know I am are and from what she tells me I am sure she is." Mrs. Snyder was pleased at this and her hand shifted across her lap until it rested on that of her husband. Mrs. Bishop, now Mrs. Snyder, had lived in twelve years, going there from Rapids, Ia.

Ordnance experts of the army are at work on designs for forty-two centimeter and larger howitzers. These huge guns are indispensable to any modern field army; the Frei.ch and British are now employing huge naval guns, hastily adapted to transportation with field armies.

The problem of mobility is the most difficult one connected with the use of these monsters or ordnance. If our roads are not adapted to their movements, then the guns will have to be adapted to the roads. Guns of sixteen-inch or larger caliber transportable on rails only might do for employment as mob' coast defenses; but if they are to be considered real field guns they must be able to go wherever EL field army can go. If the Austrians found means for moving their big Skoda howitzers over the bottomless roads of Poland and Galicia, American ordnance officers ought to be capable of doing as well or better.
