ORED SAYS COURT
(P.y Associated Press.)
Washington D. C Nov. 30. The
judgment of the Oklahoma federal
courts which refused to enjoin the
operation of the Oklahoma "Jim
Crow" law was affirmed by the
F
United States supreme court today.
The lower court held that the law was
tonstitutlonal notwithstanding the
section providing for sleeping par-
lor and chair cars for white tpeoplo
altne.
On the proposition that there was
no provision made for separate
sleeping cars and chair cars for
negroes thc "Jim Crow" law was
attacked and went on appeal to the
United States supreme court.
The decision Is an important one
and for all time settles the status of
the "Jim Crow" law of the state of
Oklahoma.

BoSJkkflC STORY OF MEXICO'S
ONE TIME BANDIT LEADER
Has Fought Fop "The Emancipation
of Mexico" and Has Proven
Himself a Great General
Special to Dally leader.
El Paso Tex. (Nov. 30O. General
Villa who waa revented Eroni 6ii
teriag Mexico City Saturday on ac
count of a train wreck reached the
outskirts of the capital Sunday night
late and made entry to the city early
Monday morning. It is unofficially
announced today that both General
Zapata and Provisional President
Gutierres met Villa and accompanied
him Into the city. General Carranza
is in Jalajpa and is expected to remain
thej-e for several days.
Official dispatches to Washington
confirm reports that General Cabal -lero
governor of Tamaullpas has
joined Villa. Caballero had been to
the Aguas Oalientes convention. ' .A
dispatich from special agent Canova
of tho state department $ Washing
ton said it was rumored that General
Gonzales Carranza's division com
mander has proclaimed himself pres-
ident. That Francisco Villa the one-time
bandit would be ipresident of Mexico
or die jn the attempt was a predic
tion made more than a year ago by
some of his close friends.;; With
Villa's taking of Torreon the Huerta
Btronghold last Aprll observers of
Mexican affairs discovered that the
"unlettered bandit general" was a
born genius as a strategist and com-
mander and from the time of his
first prominence as a follower of the
constitutionalist chief Carranza there
appeared the possibility that he would
some day completely overshadow this
mild-mannered old lawyer-general as
a leader in Mexico.
Now that he haa entered Mexico
City the capital Itself scarcely knows
who this man Villa Is. However
familiar his namef Villa has never
Ceased to be an enigma. ' Those who
have seen the worst side of him have
never pictured him ibetter than a
iprimitive man still the red-handed
bandit he was years ago. Others see
him changed bo remarkably as to
iook seriously to him as the "Saviour
of Mexico."
Sketching what Is most Interesting
about Villa rather than what per-
haps is the most veracious there is
the romantic story of how he turned
bandit. Born in 18G3 in the 1IU19
mining town of Las Nieves to the
state of Durango he remained there
until the death of his father. Then
as a protector or nis motner ana
sister he became a cowboy in west-
ern Chihuahua. From their parents
