Press) Persistent rumors of the patching- P of a vendetta plof of Villa elements In Chihuahua following the execution of General Felipe Anseles, noted rebel leader'at Chihuahua City yesterday reached the border today. Everyone connected with the trial of the Villa chieftain has been marked for vengeance, according to the reports. -Francisco Villa, the ally of Angeles, will start Immediately upon his campaign of reprisal. Chihuahua City being his objective point.. It is said. The rebels are reported to be planning tq destroy the railroad between Juarez and Chihuahua City. Disorders were already said to have occurred in Chihuahua City, but no confirmation of these rumors was -obtainable here. Consul General Andres Garcia of Mexico - said he had heard nothing of any outbreaks at the capital. Meanwhile preparations were being made at the garrison in Juare to prevent any disorders on. he border. In the absence of General Jose Ganzales Escobar, commander of the Juare2 district. Colonel Eduardo r. J-orcayo, acting commander. Is reported as having taken every pre caution to forestall any demonstration by Villa and Angeles sympathizers. General Escobar, who 'was one of the judges who tried Angeles was expected to return1 to Juarez today. JUAREZ TAKES STEPS' TO CHECK UPRISING Juarez police were given orders last night to keep strict watch on all suspicipus characters and a strong patrol was maintained on the streets. No trouble was reported. In his testimony before the military board by which he was tried General Angeles repeatedly denied that he had taken arms against the Carranza government, but asserted that he returned to Mexico merely to effect a union of all elements, ac-; cording 'to a detailed story of the trial, published by El Heraldo of Chihuahua City. General Angeles bitterly attacked what ho termed "the strong passions" of the Mexican people. '"To correct these errors I exposed my life. Despite my previous relations with Villa, it was dangerous for me to treat with him, for he made use of threats when 1 made bold to contradict him. "We held our first argument In Tosesigua. because he called Madero a fool. I retorted somethine and our voices rose to shouts. soldiers expected he would order me hanged as ho had done to all who had contradicted him. "Afterward, when he had calmed down, Villa told me that 1 was the first man that had contradicted him and escaped alive. "This confirmed in met the belief that Villa would have been a good man had it not been for despots and sycophants." VII.UA COMPARED WITH VICTOR HUGO CHARACTER In the course of his lengthy address to the -court Angeles spoke of Victor Hugo's "Ijes Miserables," comparing Erancisco Villa with Jean Valjean. Suddenly the rrisoncr raised his voice and shouted: "Those who accuse me and those who arrested me are Villislas! The masters should be the people, who should govern themselves, who should cease being servile, for they are great" From the balcony and gallery of the large theater in which the trial was held there came such a storm of applause that Gabriel Gavira, the presiding officer of the military board, had to warn the auditors that such demonstrations were pro- ; hibitcd. After "vigorously denying ! that he haM resisted the efforts of 1 tho state guardsmen to capture him, ; Angeles launched forth into a dis- , cussion of socialism, and quoted words of Jesus Christ and the works i of Theodore Roosevelt and the Austrian Socialist, Kaussky.

Controller Chambers. On Way to Recovery AUT01STS RUN niiRinni nra mm u r ni ill r v uUlill ULflLLU Rice Hulls in Swamp Burn Fiercely When Fanned by Wind, and Some Confused Motorists Are Then Scorched Clouds of stinging sparks caused motorists to believe they had suddenly run into an Inferno last night in the Potrero, in South San Francisco. About two acres of the flat swampy portion of the district has been filled with dumpings of rice hulls from the rice mills. The dump caught fire and after it had mostly burned over the fire . smouldered. Between lulls of the storm last night the fire would die down and only the smell of It and whiffs of smoke Indicated that there had been a t$n. But when the wind picked up it was different. Then the flames would leap high and the sparks would fly thicker than Kansas grasshoppers. During the lull the motorists drove merrily into the area. - Then up would come the wind and the flame and the sparks and smoke. Terrified, some, of them would drive off the -pavement into the fiery dump and geT the paint simmered off their cars. The sparks would blind them and burn many 'little holes in their clothes. . They-would be unable to see ahead, even If they remained on the pavement, and -would have to stop and cover up their heads. v The fire department was summoned and owed them out Several were severely burned, Including James Scamans, taxi driver, 1321 ' Octavia street; Charles Collins, 8 Spencer street; Dr. Nellie Null, 84 Railroad avenue, and Alfred Crlsto-faitl. Hunters Point. Finally the department conceived the Idea of stopping traffic across the place and no more people got burned.
