VILLA PREPARES
EOR MARCH SOUTH
CHIHUAHUA, Feb. 11. Rebels and
federals are concentrating for a bat
tle at Torreon, which will decide
whether Gen. Villa can push on into
the central and southern states with
his victorious army. Villa sent sev
eral more troop trains south today,
tie ha sthus I'n succeeded in advanc
ing most of his army to Jiminez, half
way to Torreon, without resistance.
There is every indication that the :
Huerta government is preparing to !
make a desperate resistance at Tor i
teon. G< n. Valasoo, the federal com !
mander, has sent troops northward !
to Herniejillo and Napimi, along the j
railroad. It is believed that he has !
been reinforced by troops from gar j
risons to the east and south.

SHARKEY GUILTY; i
HAD BAWDY HOUSEj
NEW YORK, Feb. 11,—Tom Shark
ey, the pugilist, was convicted today
of running a bawdy house and will
be sentenced in a few days. It is ex
pected, because of the public agita
tion at present going on against the
houses of illfame, in which young girls
are believed to be imprisoned until
they become reconciled to their rate,
that the trial judge will make an ex
ample of Sharkey and give hint a long
jail sentence. The attorneys for the
ex-pug have served notice of appeal.
Gowns More Decollete.
PARIS.—“Our latest models are
more decollete than any fashions for
twenty years past,” says the manager
of a famous fashion house. “They
are cut with great depth, not only in
front and at the back, but also at the
sides beneath the arms. Sometimes
there is falling drapery, carried al
ways from the edge of the dress, but
this is quite transparent. The ten
dency is for morning dresses also
to be t ut with increased decollete.
“The effect at a casual glance is j
that of a dress which has accidental
ly slipped down to just above the
waist and is retained by a single thin
slip of material negligently over one
shoulder. The other arm and the side
of the body for three inches below it
i are left free.
j “Muffs for the legs are a novel fash -
ion accompanying the unusually long
spell of bitterly cold weather still
prevailing in Paris. The mode of the
J slit skirt and the fairylike shoe led
j uany smart Parisian women to take
! severe colds even while crossing the
j pavement from a heated motor car
to the door of a restaurant nr the
: ater. The leg muff, which is design
j ed to remedy this, is a silk legging,
I lined with fur, which can be drawn
lover a light shoe and comes above
j the knee, ft is taken off at the same
; time as the opera r'oak and left in
] the cloakroom.”
I When Andrew I). White was min
! ister to Germany he received a man
'datory epistle from an old lady in
I the West, who inclosed in her letter
i four pieces of white linen, each some
| six inches square. "We are going to
i have a fair in our church.” she wrote,
j “and I am making ar- autograph quilt.
' I want you to get me the autographs i
j of the emperor, the empress, the j
| crown prince and Oismarck: and tell j
them to he careful not to write too]
near the edge of the squares, as a I
seam hits to be allowed for putting
them together.”
