Career of Mexican Outlaw Border Desperado Who Comj mitted Many Crimes With Ax Jj Is Killed by Deputy ^ * 1 •• Bio Hondo, Tex.--When Alfredo Lima, Mexican outlaw, murdered Guadalupe Moreno and kidnaped the beautiful sixteen-year-old widow of bis victim, a few days ago, he committed the last of a series of bloody exploits. Luna was trailed to bis camp in the chaparral, 25 miles from bere, by a sheriff's posse and there shot and killed by Deputy Sheriff Victor Ortega. With the death of Luna and the confession he made to Mrs. Moreno there was solved the mystery of several murders and assaults which hare been committed in the Rio Hondo aection of the lower Rio Grande border in the last two years. For three days Luna kept Mrs. Moreno a captive in his remote camp, submitting her to many tortures. According to her sworn story, Luna entered the Moreno home five miles from Rio Hondo, late at night. He awakened her first and asked If her husband was at home. The latter answered for himself, and Luna then struck Moreno over the head with a pistol and then picked up an ax with which he continued beating him until be was dead. The bandit then grabbed Mrs. Moreno and placed her on a horse In front of him and fled. He threatened to kill her If she made an outcry. They traveled most of the night, finally arriving at Luna's camp. Kept Girl Prisoner. The camp is about two miles from Rahcho Nueva and five miles from Los Leones. Here the girl was kept In captivity from Thursday morning until Saturday afternoon. During this time Mrs. Moreno did not eat anything, although Luna brought her food. He went to the Chapa ranch house, some distance from the camp to obtain food, she said. It was at the camp that Luna told her of his crimes. According to Mrs. Moreno, she was repeatedly threatened with death by Lona while in camp. He spent much of v his time telling her of the many criitaes he had committed. He said that he killed Miss Marie Schroeder at Rio Hondo two years ago; that he was the man who brutally assaulted IS. F. Ehlers of Rio Hondo and attacked Mrs. Ehlers, a few weeks ago. His purpose, he said, was to kidnap Miss Ruth Ehlers, their daughter, but he was foiled in this effort. The killing of the Schroeder girl was described as the most atrocious In the history of the lower border country. The girl was accustomed to go to and from school, about three miles, from her home, on a horse. She failed to return home one evening. Nothing was thought of It at the time, as she frequently spent nights with friends in San Benito. Next day, when she failed to appear, a search was started. Her horse was found, and later her badly mutilated body was discovered hidden In underbrush. Posses beat the country for several days, and one man, a Mexican, believed to have had some knowledge of the crime, was killed when he resisted officers. Luna, according to Information obtained, was feared by all the people of the Rio Hondo district because of his brutality and treachery. Luna had been suspected for some time of having been implicated In the Ehlers crime. At the time this crime was committed. Sheriff Sam Robertson put Victor Ortega on the case. Ortega expressed the belief that Luna was the guilty man, and he spent most of his time after the Ehler crime searching for Luna. Got His Man--Dead. Robertson offered a reward of $100 for the murderer of Guadalupe Moreno, dead or alive, and Ortega, with the faithfulness with which he started on the case, got his man--dead. Lona was twenty-four years old and It Is believed by peace officers that his death will remove the ringleader of a group of bandits who have been committing crimes in the Rio Hondo district, and hiding In the stretches of brush land between that place «nd the bay. Nation Has 27,000,000 Trimmings Hold on p7 One's view of the spring gowns gives the impression that there is no decided change In silhouette. Upon further examination, says a fashion writer In the New York Times, the Intricacies of detail and trimming begin to stand out. • frock may be as plain as a pipestem to all outward appearance when In reality it is a combination of niceties so cleverly put together that they create a thing of great beauty. Many of the gowns are cut on the simplest of all possible patterns--in essence the one-piece dress. Then they adopt some sort of original trimming. It is hard to say what is the favorite trimming. Embroidery, In the spring openings, has held the foremost place, but it is not put on in any stereotyped manner. It Is tucked into odd corners or made to flame out In conspicuous places, and sometimes it goes so far as to cover a whole gown or coat, but It Is best when done by hand with all that attention t.. stltohery which the Country Is Now Sixth In Population in Europe, According |p Official Information. New York.--The new republic of Poland, now In its fifth year, has a population of 27,160,103, and Is the sixth nation In Europe, according to official information compiled by the Polish bureau of information. "Its population is exceeded only by Russia, Germany, Great Britain. France and Italy," the statement says. "Poland has a population as large as Denmafk, Holland, Belgium, Sweden, Norway and Switzerland combined." Warsaw Has 941,000. Warsaw's population is given as 941,001; Lodz, 451,444; Lemberg, 219,- 000; Cracow, 181,000; Posen, 169,000 ; Vilna (estimated), 146,060. The republic has now been divided Into %Q states or administrative units, called voyvodshlps. The city of Warsaw, however, as capital of the republic, Is distinct from any voyvodship. After struggling with various boundary disputes on all sides, and emerging victorious from a war with Russia, Poland established her frontiers Captured Guns Destined for City Parks mmm Shoulder Dislocated and Set in Accident A runaway accident dislocated and set the right shoulder of Frank P. Cowden, seventy years old, a manufacturer of Tiffin, O. The shoulder was dislocated when Cowden was thrown from a buggy. He clutched the lines and the plunging horses jerked the shoulder bones back IK» place. At Port Newark, N. J., are thousands or shells captured from Germany during the war, and very many guns which were originally captured from Russia by Germany, then recaptured--all waiting to decorate country school yards or city parks. 1 and then turned her attention to in temal affairs. The first regular Polish parliament came Into being November 27, 1922, succeeding the constituent assembly that had been organized as an emergency governing body early in 1919. During Its life, the assembly enacted more than five hundred laws. Including a constitution providing for a house of representaitves elected by universal suffrage, and a senate elected In the same manner. Economy was another far-reaching measure instituted by the new republic. During 1922, a reduction of 25,- 000 civilian employees was made In the various departments. Military affairs also were subjected to sweeping changes. A standing army of 25,000 was recommended, «with compulsory military service of two years for all males reaching the age of twenty-one. Demonstrates Its Stability. The republic demonstrated Its stability In December, 1922, following the assassination of President Narutowlcz, the first chief executive, after he had been In office but two days, in the absence of precedent, the leaders turned to the constitution for guidance. Four days after the assassination, an election was held and a new president took office In accordance with the expressed will of the people. Indian Maidens Have Own Commg-Out Party Boy, 10, Valedictorian In High School Class Sylacdse, N.

A can of water is then dashed over her head as thto concluding ceremony, after which she is ready to receive a proposal of marriage. Ready to Receive Proposal After All-Night Dance. Washington.--The modern ^society" flapper, with her coming-out party, has cothing on the American Indian maiden, whose marriage-announcement party has been among the tribal customs from time Immemorial. Among the Washoe Indians of Nevada there is a dance or ceremony known as "the girl's dance," in honor of the young girl who becomes eligible for marriage. Her white cousin, however, would hardly <care to be the star of such a feast, for the guest of honor is allowed to eat nothing at iUl for four days previous. On the fourth night the dance starts at about eight o'clock, and sometime^ lasts until sunrise the following morning. The Indians form a circle, joining hands, and move by short side steps In a ring, humming a sort of chant without words or meaning. The girl, accompanied by an elder woman as a sort of chaperon, and carrying a long stgff to support her because of the weakness induced by her long fast, weaves In and out of the dance, joining In the step. As the dance proceeds late Into the night, the girl's family give money and other possessions to the dancers to keep them moving and to induce others to join In. The greater the number of dancers the greater the popularity of the family. Shortly after midnight a feast Is given by the girl's relatives, and all participate. The ceremony closes at sunrise when the girl is taken to her tepee and attired in bunches of sagebrush in which money is concealed. She appears before the assembled dancers English "Useful Women" Aid Men to Find Wives Manchester, England.--"The Useful Women," an organization which Is n sort of league of fairy godmothers, hns started operations here.

On coats both long and short, there Is much embroidery and It Is not always of the sort that covers a garment. Indeed, the wide cuffs and the collar often will be covered with embroidery and the rest of the coat left plain. Again, there are unadorned lines on the coat, except the sleeves, and they will be resplendent with embroidery In the most vivid of colorings. This Idea extends itself to dresses, where the 6leeves are often the sole trimming, done In the most stunning of embroidered patterns. One of these Is made of shiny black satin with the severest of cuts, the bodice and the little sleeves cut to fit snugly. There are added puffed and full sleeves of white chiffon In two layers, to which have been added embroidery In an applique manner, .some pieces of brightly colored silk with some long, effective stitches of gorgeous silken threads added to complete the embroidered effect 'Belts and Waistcoats. For three-piece suits there are embroidered belts and embroidered waistcoats. One lovely blouse was made of dark blue silk crepe with a whole bib front composed of a panel of Chinese embroidery, straight from a Chinatown shop. This, when the jacket was left open, showed its colorful stitches with the best effect, and when the Jacket was removed altogether It became an effective ornament for the blouse as a part of what appeared to be a - complete and well-thought-out dress. Embroideries of all countries are fashionable and the Egyptian Is not more popular than the Indian or the Belgian or the Viennese, for that matter. Each one takes Its place. Blouses are covered with embroidery ahd with all other sorts of trimming. Some of the latter waists to be worn with tailored skirts or suits are made from what seems to be two squares of silk, put together with rows of double hemstitching, edging wide hems. There may be a monogram somewhere on the front of the blouse to give It a mark of distinction and to add a touch of embroidery. A long-waisted blouse designed as a possible part of a three-piece suit had medallions of silver embroidery worked at Irregular intervals over its bright green surface. Then the sleeves, which were short, had edgings of that same silver embroidery and facings of deep purple silk Just to add another contrast 6f color. This, after all, merely was a suggestion, for the purple tone showed only at the rarest Intervals. Ribbons are the most used of all trimmings, for there is hardly a gown of the present season that does not show a bit of ribbon somewhere. That ribbon may be only a facing njore or less obscured or a series of loops and bows! But at any rate It cannot be denied that ribbon Is an Important factor tn the making of all sorts and conditions of spring and summer frocks, whether Its use be lavish or restrained. Even the tailored suits are showing bindings of ribbon, and some of the heavier top coats have ribbon to form their edges and to tie them together, serving In the place of the buttons which one might expect In one Instance a series of narrow cream lace fiutings has been used to make the trimming of the neck and sleeves of a taffeta gown, giving ft an appearance of the greatest charm arid tying It up with the hest of the modern fashions. The same sort of ruffling has been applied to the hat in rosettes that cover the ears. The well-known "little" dresses are the ones which come out spectacularly with the use of ribbon as trimming. They may have nothing more than a binding of ribbon about the neckline and ihe sleeves, but that Is always of a color In contrast to the one used for the gown. The effect of one shade against the other serves to provide the distinctive note that carries the gown past all criticism into the realm of smartness. ' Loops of ribbon have been added to straight-line gowns In row after row, providing a bit of trimmed effect that, after all, being of the same color as the gown itself, serves only to create a little variety in the quality and tone of the costume. Not only dresses but coats have been handled In this manner. On one of the little short coat$ a series of ribbon loops forms the rolling collar, becoming as a frame for the face. More of the loops are applied as flaring cuffs for the tightly fitted sleeves, and to the lower edges of the short Jacket bunches of the same ribbon have been applied at the spots where pockets ought to be. As a matter of fact tiny pockets are hidden underneath the first two rows of ribbon loops, but they serve only as an excuse for repetition of the ribbou trimming. Long ribbon ends have been used to tie the coat together under the chin and to fly nway almost to the bottom of the coat severest sort of tailored coats are surprisingly tied together at the waist-line with large bows of ribbon and long swaying ends that form the only trimming for the wrap. Then there are ribbon facings which appear only on the under side of the little Jackets and longer coats. Ribbons for sashes are obvious enough, but In the way that they are used this season they seem to take on a new expression and meaning. LOCKED IN ROOM WITH HOGE SNAKE Wife of Museum Director in Desperate Battle for Ufe fife ^4-Foot Python.4 , * Los Angeles Woman Tells of Wonderful Experience., USES TRUNK ASr S HIELD Port Elisabeth, NataL--Mrs. F. \V. Fltzsimmons, wife of the director of the Port Elizabeth museum, does not mind If she never sees a python again. The python was caught In a sugar plantation at Mid Illovo, Natal, and sent to the Port Elizabeth museum. Though not large, as pythons go--a mere 14 feet long--It was a sturdy reptile, as thick as a man's thigh. Before installing it in a cage In lhf> grounds, Mr. Fltzsimmons had it dumped Into a small room on the sun side of the balcony of his house. this little room was a trunk used 1 storing odds and ends. Mrs. Fitzsimmons wanted something from this trunk In the morning. Door Locked. While she was rummaging" In the trunk the wind slammed the door and she was horrified to find herself a prisoner, for there was no knob on the Inner side. Presently the great snake, which had been watching her Intently, prepared for attack, gathering up Its heavy, «in- Sash Bows Are Used at Sides IN MEMORY OF W.

D.--Lucius Alexander, who is rated among the champion trodt fishermen of the Black Hills, has a fishing rod of "10,000 battles." "Thai rod," said Lucius, of his weatherbrowned, split bamboo, "is three years old and has landed more than 10,400 fish. All of them came from Rapid creek." There are sash bows at the sides of costumes, there are those which Appear directly in front and then there are those, wide and spreading, posed directly in the middle of the back only to drip long ends which in many cases serve to cover the surface of the skirt. Facings of color have been used with effects of untold beauty. There will be seen a gown which Is altogether sombre upon its first appearance but with facings of the most brilliant hue that show only when the wearer moves about or poses at this angle or that. They are made of soft silks and of chlffoe and are applied to gowns meant for formal occasions as well as to those meant only for the strictest sort of street wear. Panels on skirts are faced with color. Necklines and the wide endings of sleeves show brilliant touches of facing. Wide, draped belts will be faced with brilliant colors which show only at rare intervals, and even the lower edges of skirts often will reveal that they have been faced with some color and material foreign to their own stuffs. Contrasting materials hare been wedded in the making of the modern gowns to the end that they form trimmings by their very combination. There' will be a printed silk, to choose thif most obvious example, against a plain and dark material the one forming the upper half and the other the lower half of the dress. Then there will be a brilliantly toned silk used with a black or deep blue silk or a tied and dyed fabric used along with something that Is dull in tone, the two by reason of their contrast making the dress and Its trimming withoutt any thought of additional features. Laces and organdies and all sorts of lingerie trimmings are important as trimmings for the newer gowns and they take us Into the Victorian era by reason of the designs in which they have been made. There are many tiny lace ruffles, from those that wind round and round Into fosettes to trim little hats or sweet girlish dresses, to those posed upon dresses in succeeding ivfws to make the trimming for the whole ccstume. "• MRS. GUSSIE E. HANSEN. Mrs. Gussle E. Hansen, of 916 West End Street, is now numbered with the multitude of Los Angeles men and women who have realized the wonderful merits of Tanlac. In relating her experiences, Mrs. Hansen said: "It is wonderful what Tanlac will do for one suffering from stomach trouble, nervousness and run-down con» dltlon. I have tried It "Before taking the treatment every* thing I ate disagreed with me so that! I actually dreaded to sit down to thai table. I suffered from constipation, had awful pains across my back, and was soi nervous and run down I was In "mls-i ery all the time.

Tanlac Is for sale by all good drugs gists--take no substitute. Over 37 million bottles sold. Trying to Deter It With Her uous colls In readiness to deliver the sledge-hammer blow that precedes its constriction. After trying to deter It with her stick, Mrs. Fltzsimmons turned the trunk, on end and used it as a shield. Taking advantage of its confusion, Mrs. Fltzsimmons clambered on the trunk, flung open the litle window high np on the wall and shouted again for help. • .. Scared Women. The cook and housemaid ee«M at last, but were too scared to dare to open the door. They brought In a passing butcher, however, who released their mistress. Next day the kafflr, who looks after the Institution's snakes--a big, strong fellow--was sent up to get the snake into a large mealle sack and take it off on a wheelbarrow to its cage. The moment he seized the python's neck It flung Its colls around him, pinning one arm to his side. Mrs. Fltzsimmons, hearing the servant's shriek, ran up and calmly took charge of the crisis. Ordering the man to grip the snake's head tightly with his free hand, if he valued his life, dhe gripped Its tall and, by dint of strenuous exertion, unwound It sufficiently to dlfert Its attention long enough to enable the kaiftir to br^ak loose.

It included nine young elephants, having a combined weight of more than five and a half tons, seven tigers and a number of Indian leopards, besides black panther^ Tibet hears, monkeys and birds. Pleasingly practical dresses for the little girl are offered in a selection of smart models. Out-and-out utilitarian frocks have a certain decided and frank appeal that is emphasized by the combination of creponage and gingham. There Is a nice variation, too, to the patterns, possible by using this plain-colored material with the fine gingham checks. In one group of dresses suspender effects are noted. The "just a little different" way of handling trimmings is evident on the simplest garment and white embroidery edgings properly used make a most effective trimming. Noncrusbable lldens are extensively shown, and most of these frocks adhere to the straight, simple lines of the mode. Ukrainian embroidery und some effective yarn trimming are two of the appropriately chosen means of decorating these numbers. Side effect*, narrow bindings of contrasting color, and the ornamental use of pockets axe all well handled. One of the new features to be noted Is found In tiny tucked shoulder treatments that Insure a quaint fullness to the bodice of several models. This is striking because of the fiat shoulder effect so long In vogue. Mercerized rajah in ponge coloring is one of the fabrics extensively used. Hand embroidery in pastel shades Is used on one model of this material.
