Mexican Mayor Kills
Self Rather Than Live
as American Hostage
By Associated Press
Columbus, N. M., April 24.—A story
of the suicide of the mayor of a Mexi
can village who chose death at his
own hands in preference to living as
an American hostage was brought here
to-day by a widely known American
returning from a business trip in
Mexico. The story, dramatic In its de
tails, was verified, he said, by several
expeditionary officers, who regard the
attitude of the Mexican as typical of
that of some of the more ignorant
peons.
The Mexican, president of a squallid
adobe village along the American line
of communication, together with an
other native, was taken prisoner by
American cavalrymen, according to
the story, after snipers who had men
aced American columns had been
traced to the village.
Another One Shot
Given an army mess kit at meal
time, the presidente seized a small
knife, and. baring his breast, folded
his arms and pressed the knife un
derneath them into his heart before
his guards could stop him. Meanwhile
the other hostage attempted to escape
and was shot so seriously that he died
shortly afterward.
Snipers have been particularly active
in the last week in the district be
tween Namlquipa and El Valley, al
though few of their bullets found their
marks, the Americans said. Accord
ingly, the military authorities served
warning on the jefes of some of the
communities that summary action
would follow further activity. When
the warning was disregarded the two
were taken from a village, which the
ranchman said was IAS Cruces, to he
held as hostages against a repetition
of the offense.
Another Column Moves In
The ranchman also said that Major
Frank Tompkins, who suffered a Ilesh
wound in the right breast at Parral.
is rapidly recovering, as Is Lieutenant
James Ord, who was shot through the
left ear.
The expeditionary force was fur
ther strengthened to-day by the dis

M'COMBS UNABLE
TO AID WILSON
IN HIS FIGHT
Democratic National Commit
tee Chairman Gives Up Place
For Private Practice
Washington, April 24. William F.
McCombs, chairman of the Democra
tic National Committee, to-day noti
fied President Wilson that he will be
unable to continue in his present posi
tion after the Democratic National
convention in St. Louis and will be un
able to direct Mr. Wilson's campaign
for re-election. •
Replying to Mr. McCombs' letter the
President expressed regret. Fred. B.
National committeeman from
Minnesota, is expected to succeed Mr.
McCombs and conduct the campaign.
Mr. McCombs wrote this letter to
the President:
"I have just formed a new partner
ship for the practice of law which will
become effective on the first of May.
The change will necessitate my devot
ing all by time to my profession. My
political activities must be largely cur
tailed. My arrangements, however,
will justify my proceeding through lo
the end of the convention at St. L.ouis.
"In view of the party precedent that
the nominee for President is requested
to indicate his preference for the
chairmanship of the National commit
tee, and in view of the unity of senti
ment for your renomination, 1 am
writing you at the earliest moment to
let you know that I could not under
under any circumstances assume the
leadership of the coming Democratic
campaign. I 'am happy in the thought,
however, that there are hosts of able
and true men who can very readily
take my place.
"The Democratic organization is
loyal to your policies and purposes.
We all feel assured of a triumphant
result for you and for the party nomi
nees throughout the country in No
vember.
"For five years now I have been in
Ithe active service of the party and it
Ms with a feeling of regret that 1 am
i forced to conclude that my activities
are of necessity to be more limited.
If within the limit of my time I can
be of assistance be assured that I ani
j always available."
President Replies
| The President replied as follows:
i "I have your letter of April 20 ap
i prising me of your inability to retain
the chairmanship of the Democratic
National committee for the approach
ing campaign.
"1 fully appreciate the necessity you
feel yourself to be under to resign
after the convention shall have been
held in June: I know that you would
not have reached such a decision had
not your new business obligations
made it unavoidable. Ido not feel at
liberty, therefore to urge you to make
the sacrifice that a retention of the
chairmanship would In the circum
stance include. You have made many
and great sacrifices already for the
party and I know that 1 am speaking
the sentiments of all loyal Democrats
when 1 express the very deep appre
ciation I have felt of the great service
you have rendered, I am sure that the
greatest regret will be felt at vour
retirement and that a host of friends
will join me in the hope that your
new business connections will bring
you continued abundant success."
Mr. Lynch suggested for the chair
manship is at present chairman of the
executive committee of the National
committee and in active charge of pre
liminary work for Mr. Wilson's renom
ination. llomer S. Cu turnings. of Con

secretary to the President, have also
been mentioned as possible successors
to Mr. McCombs.

Forces Are So Placed
as to Safeguard Border
Towns and Form Wall
By ■ Issociated Press
Washington, D. C.. April 24.—Ad- j
ministration officials to-day looked to i
General Funston to carry out plans for
rtdisposltion of the American troops
In Mexico. The plans approved by
President Wilson and Secretary Raker
were the outgrowth of conferences be
tween General Funston and General
Scott, who went to San Antonio as
Secretary's Raker's personal repre
sentative.
It is understood the American forces !
will be so placed as to safeguard j
American border towns by virtually I
doing police duty in the territory im
mediately south of the border where!
Carranza has been unable to prevent
brigandage. The troops would form a |
wall against which the soldiers of the
de facto government could drive the
bandits from the south.
Redisposition gives the State De
partment the opportunity to make ;
counter proposals to Carranza, who j
asked for a withdrawal of the Ameri- i
can soldiers. The department can now
urge Carranza to show greater co
operation as a means to secure the
early withdrawal.

| ble purpose of the redisposition of the
I troops General Funston has been au-
S tliorized to make. Secretary Baker
made it clear to-day, however, that
| General Funston had been Riven full
j discretion and that he was not advised
|speciticall of the steps to bej
taken. The greater part of General
Pershing's force is now near Casas
| Grandes.
Army officers pointed out that the
retirement suggested would cut the
communication lines to one hundred
miles from the present border base.
The shorter line could be maintained
j with ease, they said, regardless of the|
use of railroads, of weather conditions
or of the attitude of Carranza military
commanders. The American forces
would then be able to take care of
i themselves without undue risk, what
ever the developments in Mexico.
They would also be able to defend
border towns.

If General Funston's purpose is to
establish his advance lines around
Casas Grandes, a strip of territory
300 miles long would be relinquished |
as the present most advanced Amerl-1
can post Is near Parral, 400 miles<
south of the border. It is in this ter- |
ritory that General Carranza would be :
required to demonstrate his ability to
I secure complete control, to stamp out;
