MEXICAN MOTHER SEES SON SHOT ON COUSIN’S ORDER Woman’: 8 Plea for Boy’ s Life Answered by Rebel Executioners’ Bullets; State Officials Slain in Victoria. . * MEXICO CITY, Nov. family ties did not avail to halt ‘the vengeance of the Con¥titutionalists when Federal office-holders fell into their hands at the capture of the City of Victoria, capital of the State of Ta- maulipas. State, as well as Federal officials, were executed without quarter. Among those killed was a young civil- jan cousin of Enrique Caballero, who 1s the leader of the rebels at Victoria and one of the chief lieutenants of Venus- tlano Carranza. The young civilian was condemned to die because he had helped the Federal troops to defend the city. The young man’s mother, who is an aunt of the rebel officer, went on her knees, ANA Berged tne life of her son Cabaher% ry was to have his cou- sin bfougit from the prison and stood in front of a firing squad of revolution- ists, who shot him down before his ‘mother’s eyes. Details of the capture of Victoria, which occurred a week ago, reached Mexico City today. Gen. Antonio Ra- bago, the Federal commander of Vic- toria, upon evacuating the city, pro- ceeded with his troops to the South- west in the expectation of making a a . Blood and connection with the Federal column commanded by Gen. Rubio Navarrete, who was trying to go to the assistance of the garrison of Victoria. The rebels, however, sent out a flying squadron to meet Gen. Navarrete’s troops and checked their progress. The fate of both Gen. Navarrete's command and that of Gen. Rabago is still unknown here. . The Constitutionalist troops entered Victoria during the afternoon of Nov. 19, immediately after the Federals had evacuated the city, which they had de- fended for three days. The rebels, it is said, at once started pillaging, setting fire to houses and murdering citizens. | Private residences as well as stores and Government offices were sacked and a number of Spanish residents were killed, including, it is said, the Spanish Consul. A further movement of rebel troops from the District of. Victoria toward Tampico is reported in messages re- ceived through railroad agents. The telegraph wires were cut today at Gon- wales, about 60 miles northwest of Tam- pico. Train service between Tampico and _ Victoria has been n suspended. CAUCUS MAY ADD ? REGIONAL BANKS IN CURRENCY & Democratic Conference Also May Outline Various Districts in Compromise Measure. By Associated Presa WASHINGTON, Nov. Location of the regional reserve banks to be estab- lished by the new currency bill became a matter of pressing importance when the Democratic conferenceresumed work today. The insistence of Senators Smith and Bacon of Georgia, that the territory tributary to Atlanta would not do -busi- ness with a regional bank at New Or- leans, may force the conference to out- line districts and locations for the banks. While the administration bill proposes eight regional banks, the conference may finally increase them to 10. The vom that passed the House provided 12. The decision of the conference when it gives its final approval to the bill probably will be accepted as binding by all but one or two Democrats and the measure will be taken up in the Senate again Monday under circumstances ex- pected to bring about its early passage. Republican Senators probably will not take up the currency bill as a party measure. Leaders said today that they had no plans for a Republic- an conference, and declared their ef- forts to amend the bill would be tak en up on the floor without regard to any agreement the Democrats may ‘reacn to unanimously support the Owen bill. Work dragged somewhat in the confer- ence today and the leaders said if e ‘bill was not completed by tomorrow night the neers probably would work Sunday. . A guarantee of deposits, proposed by Senator Williams was referred to the Democrats of the Banking Committee. Some form of guarantee is expected to result. The number of members of the Federal Reserve Board was left to be taken up later. Senator Thomas of Colorado, an- nounced he would propose an amend- ment to make the new currency payable in gold, silver or in lawful: one when the Proper section of the bill X. W.. a. MW.. n be N K.

P AN EXHAUSTED SWIMMER CHICAGO, Nov. 23.—Stanley Mar- JUDGE HAS A NOTION “TO BUST MAN IN THE JAW" Kimmel, However, as Prosecut- ing Witness Lets Masher Off Without Fine. TELLS OF FOLLOWING HIM Christ Neef, Married 25 Years, Says He Can’t Account for Conduct. The embarrassing dilemma of being both prosecuting witness and Judge fell to the lot of Judge Kimmel in a mask ing“ case in the Municipal Police Court Friday. Judge Kimmel permitted the defen- dant, Christ Neef, 46 years old and mar- ried, of 2112 Chippewa street, to escape without a fine, but he delivered a lec- ture that Neef declared he would re- member all his days. “Come around here, young man,“ Judge Kimmel said to Neef when his case was called, I have something .t> say to you. nen “Wednesday evening I followed. you from Tenth and OHve streets to Sev- enth street. 1 Baw you stop five women and try to talk to them. I saw you push others off the sidewalk, and pull still others out of doorways. J had a good notion to bust you in the jaw but I found a policeman at Eighth and Olive streets and caused him to arrest you. I am sorry that I cannot, as Police Judge, try this case against you, but I am the prosecuting witneds. I have a mind to certify the case to another court and appear as ~ witness’ against you. What have you to say for yourself?” Judge Kimmel is a dapper man, under medium height, weighing about 150 pounds.. Neef, who is of about the same pufld,- only a little heavier, gazed in astonishment at the warlike jurist. For several minutes Neef had nothing to say. Finally he stammered that ne did not think he stopped any women, but that he might have talked to two. Judge Kimmel told him he knew that was not true. Neef, who is a carpen- ter, then said he had been married 2% years, had a son 21 years old, and could not account for his own gonduct. Judge ‘Kimmel finally permit do depart, with the resolve, Never again.” - Neither Neef nor Policeman Riley, who arrésted hum, knew Judge Rimmel at the time of the arrest. On the way to the police station Neef persistently de- manded that Riley arrest Judge Kim- mel also, but he would not.
