Wealthy Mexicans Held for Ransom in Chihuahua
In Chihuahua the arrest and planned ransom of Castula Baca, reputedly Parral’s wealthiest man, is reported with a $1,000,000 demand. General Plate is also detained. further Mexico City executions continue as Carranza and Villa forces maneuver around Torreon and San Pedro. The political scene notes reconvening delays for the Asuascaliantes conference and a pending presidential selection. In Columbus a Democratic committee forms to set up a press bureau, deferring Cox-related referendum action. The Levey bill moves through the House to permit federal warehouses for nonperishable farm goods.
