VILLAIIES NAME
Another Change In Leaders In Un
Happy Republic Is Reported—
Gulterrez Flees.
MEXICO CITY, Jan. 18.—The con
vention of Villa and Zapata gener
als have reversed themselves and
have elected Gen. Roque Garza as
president of the republic to fill out the
unexpired term of President Madero.
Gen. Guiterrez, who has been provis
ional president for five weeks and
was selected last week by the con
vention, has fled from the city to es
cape assassination by his enemies, in
cluding Villa, who made him provis
ional president and has now turn
ed against his former friend.
The new president inimediately
proclaimed martial law and Villa and
Zapata soldiers are patroling the
streets. Most of the citizens are re
maining indoors as they do not know
just what will happen.
-**
VERA CRUZ, Jan. 18.—Provision
al President Carranza has started a
general advance towards Mexico City
and states that he will be in the
capital within ten days, as the Villa
and Zapata factions are fighting
among themselves and fear to trust
one another.
Carranza has 40,000 troops under
his command and his troops are well
equipped and have been paid in full.
MRS. SALING TO
ROLD RER CLASS
The gossips of Valdez had It that
because of her marriage Mrs. Saling,t
nee Miss Josephine Augustine, would
be asked to resign as teacher of the
fourth and fifth grades of the Valdez
public school. This, however, is an
error. Mrs. Albert White, one of the
members of the school board, denies
the rumor and states that she does
not consider marriage a crime and
that Miss Augustine has given satis
faction to the board and that the ob
ject of the board of education is to
provide the best staff of instruction
possible.
It is pointed out by those opposed j
to the dismissal that the school board
has already entered into a contract
with the present staff of teachers and
that if dismissed—because of the
crime of marrying without consult
ing the gossips—the salary for the
full term would have to be paid Mrs.
Saling, as was the case in Juneau,
where the board was forced to pay
full salary to two professors they
dismissed.
Parents of tne children in tne
fourth and fifth grades are all well
satisfied with the work of Mrs. Sal
ing and insist that she be retained
because of her fitness for the posi
tion, and they do not seem to care
whether she is a Miss or Mrs. They
fail to see in marriage a crime which
should be punishable by dismissal.
The excitement will soon subside,
especially when it is learned that
Mrs. Saling would draw her full pay
under her contract. It is believed by
most of the married women in town
that Mrs. Saling’s ability as a teach
er, which heretofore has been un
questioned and has met with general
.and well merited praise, will not be
impaired by the change of name.

The message adds that it would be
expedient, in view of the German for
eign office, that an official statement
of the purpose of such vessels to en
gage only in the traffic mentioned be
prepared by an American official and
that a safe conduct for each round
trip be obtained from the German
ambassador here, requesting German
war vessels not to interfere with the

the fuel for the oil burners, the com

blocked out and as soon as the new
mill is installed the output will be
large.
Senator B. F. Millard, the president
of the company, is in Seattle pur
