Reports from Juarez describe Pancho Villa threatening to banish Spaniards deemed loyal to the enemy as the Spanish government protests. Washington warns the Constitutionalists while Villa vows to investigate each case for innocence, yet many neutrals fear harsh outcomes under federal rule.
General Refio Velasco evades rebel pursuit as Villa sends about 4500 rebel cavalry. Velasco retreats through Torreon after securing the federal army and notable federal sympathizers.
Villa notes that there is little reluctance in aiding his enemies and resents that they did not leave the city after his call. The people say Mexican hatred of Spaniards is a tradition dating back to the conquest.
The Carranza commission concludes Major Fierro killed British subject William Benton after a quarrel with Pancho Villa. Benton was taken to Chihuahua, shot, and buried. Villa did not order or know of the killing, and the supposed court martial and execution were fabrications. The body is buried near Samalayuca, Chihuahua.
North Reading delegates including Representative Irving Batchelder and town selectmen plan to attend a meeting to discuss the milk surplus crisis.

Secretary Daniels issues a sweeping ban to abolish the wine mess and liquor sales for officers and guests on naval vessels and shore stations effective July 1, 1914. Enlisted men face strict enforcement while officers must observe a uniform dry policy across ships and reservations.
Boston sailors praise Secretary Daniels ban on liquor aboard Navy ships while calling for a canteen. They say officers could drink on deck but sailors could not, urging parity and support for a canteen concept. Daniel L. Sullivan of New York and Joseph Bishop of Boston spoke out, while others remained unnamed for fear of reprimand.
Inspectors Waite and Caffrey pursue a trunk rumored to hold Siegel securities tied to a divorce case. They prepare a search warrant as they aim to uncover Mrs Eddy’s involvement and the Brown cited connections in a widening Siegel investigation.
Sullivan and Bishop argue that if a rule bans alcohol for sailors it must apply to officers too. They condemn officers drinking at sea while crews are punished for being drunk, calling the policy a privilege that undermines a free country.

A Back Bay businessman said to control Mrs. Eddy and reveal Siegel store affairs fled Boston after authorities searched for him.
