DOUGLAS. Aril., Sept. 13. The at
tack of Inez Salazar's rebels on El
Tigre today ended in repulse for the
rebels by the small band of federals
garrisoning the camp. Advices re
ceived here say that the attack began
at o'clock this morning. At 7:30
Salazar sent a messenger under a flag
of truce to the commander of the fed
erals demanding the. surrender of the
town to avoid further bloodshed.
As no one in the camp had been
wounded, it was believed that Salazar's
request came as the result of loss
among his own men.
Firing; Continues at Night.
When the demand for the town's sur
render was refused. Salazar renewed
the attack, and firing continued until
5 o'clock tonight. At that hour Salazar
withdrew his force, but at nightfall
they began firing upon the town at
long range, the federals replying to
the fire. During the day's fighting two
federals were wounded. No Americans
were hurt.
The rebel loss iB unknown. One
rebel was killed on the streets in an
attempt by a party of rebels to rush a
section of the camp.
It is thought the rebel loss in the
hills was heavy.
Mining Company Still Operating.
The plant of the El Tigre Mining
Company was still operating late to
night. Reinforcements for the federal
garrison are expected to reach there
at midnight. General Sanjines is ex
pected to send a force from Agua
Prieta south at daybreak.
A detachment of Rojas' band is re
ported to be 20 miles north of Colonia
Morelos tonight. The remainder are
still at Ceniza. 12 miles from Douglas.
A party of Mormons left here to res
rue five men and two boys who were
still at the colony. It is the belief here
that Edward Hamore, a prominent
American merchant of Sonora, was
murdered by the rebels. It is feared
the Mormons remaining at the colony
will meet a similar fate if their rescue
Is too late. Haymore's clothing was
found today near the place where his
wagon was discovered.
Dr. E. O'Reilly and two American
companions who crossed the line into
Mexico early yesterday are reported to
have recrossed at the camp of the
American border patrol. 20 miles east
of Douglas. They had only one horse
and reported that two of their horses
had been shot In a brush with Rojas.
Rojas Defers to United States,
General W. S. Schuyler, commanding
the Department of California, said to
day that Rojas had Informed him that
he had "postponed his attack on Agua
Prieta in deference to the wishes of the
American Government."
The entire Ninth Cavalry, commanded
by Colonel Guilfoyle. with the excep
tion of one squadron and a troop, is
encamped here. The colored troops will
be used to patrol ' the border from
Douglas east to the New Mexican line,
while the Fourth Cavalry will patrol
the border west of Douglas.
Reports from many points in Sonora
indicate that rebel bands are looting
regardless of nearby Federal troops.
INVASION PLANS ALL MADE
American Army Prepared to Place
Flag Over City of Mexico.
According to a special dispatch from
Washington to the Commercial Tri

ment has completed plans to raise the
American Flag over the City of Mex
ico within two months from the time
the President gives the order for a
movement of troops across the Rio
Grande. It Is figured by the minutest
sort of calculatfon that two months
would be all the time required to drtve
an army across Mexico and capture the
capital.
It develops that detailed plans of the
most elaborate and complete character
have been perfectea for the subjuga
tion of Mexico. The plans include
both land and sea operations, though
! ' It Is- obvious that the most important
movement would be by the land forces.
At the War College, in this city, the

SACRAMENTO, Cal.. Sept. 13. Sta
tistics show that a man of 26 who was
trained in his youth ,in a technical

at 4 a week, and by the time he is
IS years old he Is getting J7. At that

Countess Nogi, committed suicide, to
night in accordance with the ancient
Japanese custom, as a final tribute to

Those whiskers . that George Ade

The side-swipes, Virginia creepers, or

hopes, with great care, to raise the
fledgling whiskers to a goodly size.
The actor is bold enough to make
claim to being one of the first to adopt
the new facial decorations. He says
that all young blades of London are
ignoring their pink cheeks with the
razor these days. wnisKerenes are
blossoming forth on each side.
It is predicted that every ship from

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Sept. 13.--President Taft's Cab
inet will not figure extensively in the
campaign thm Fall, notwithstanding
the report that has gone forth that the
entire Cabinet is to take the stump dur
ing October. It has been customary
in recent times for members of . the
Cabinet to get out on the stump in
Presidential years and particularly in
years when a President has been re
nominated. Four years ago, when Mr.
Taft was first nominated and Mr.
Roosevelt was President,' every mem
ber of the Cabinet went into the cam
paign and by direction of the then
President.
But this year there will be several
Cabinet officers who will make no po
litical speeches whatever, and some who
will make few speeches. In all prob
ability ao member of the Cabinet will
make an extended stumping tour for
the Republican National ticket.
Four Members Available.
There are just four members of the
present Cabinet available for cam
paign duty and upon whom the Presi
dent might rely if he wanted campaign
speakers Secretary Stimson, Attorney
General Wickersham, Secretary Wilson
and Secretary Nagel. These members
of the Cabinet will make speeches, but
how extensively they will speak has
not yet been announced.
Looking over the Cabinet, It is ob
served that Secretary Knox is- now Jn
Japan. He will return to this coun
try before the campaign is over and
probably will make several speeches,
particularly in Pennsylvania. Secretary
MacVeagh, of the Treasury Depart
ment, Is a Democrat and is also a man
of advanced years and not able to

AFTER'GOSH-AWFUL'
TEAR, $275 CLAIMED
GEORGE SUTTON NOW APPLIES
FOR LONG LOST GOLD.
Money Found by E. C. Crocker Must
Go -Through Civil Suit Berore Be-
ing Returned, Say Police.
Gold coin to the value of 1275. which
was turned over by the police depart
ment -to the finder yesterday, has been
claimed by a man who says he lost it
and had abandoned hope of recovering
it till he saw mention of the finding in
the newspapers. He is George Sutton,
an elderly transient, recently arrived
from Prineville and comparatively
well known in Portland.
Sutton made his claim to Captain
Baty, but aside from making a casual
and friendly investigation, the depart
ment is not handling the case, holding
that it has now become a civil matter.
Sutton frankly says that he was on
one gosh-awful tear on the night in
question, and woke up the next morn
ing in the grass on the hills above
Corbett street. When he went to sleep
he had about S300 in his pockets, hav
ing drawn the money from the First
National Bank that morning. Because
of his vague recollections and the wide
expanse of waste places in which the
money might have been dropped, he
took no steps toward recovering it. He
offered to establish at the bank that
he had drawn the money, and by friends
that he had mentioned the loss the fol
lowing day. The detectives did not go
into this proof, holding that they had
lost jurisdiction.
The money was found by E. C.
Crocker, 985 Front street, and is in his
possession. He is under obligation to
advertise the find and hold it for a
year, and at the end of that time turn
over half of it to the County Treasurer.
He must require satisfactory proof of
Sutton, to protect him from later
claims.
LOCAL CLEARINGS WAY UP
Banks Handle $14,388,000 in Week,
Increase of 13.3 Per Cent.
Only two other cities in the United
States made a higher increase in" thj
percentage of bank clearings than
Portland this week. Portland's gain
over the corresponding week of last
year was 13.3 per cent, Detroit's gain
16.9 per cent and Los Angeles' gain
16.6 per cent
The total clearances at Portland were
$14,388,000, a gain of more than J4,
000,000 over last week's clearings.
Seattle's clearings were $12,249,000.
with a loss of 3.6 per cent. Portland's
totals exceeded those of Seattle by
32,159,000. The heavy wheat receipts
and lumber shipments were factors in
the week's financial showing.
The clearings at Tacoma were $4.
144,000, with a loss of 11.7 per cent,
and Spokane's clearings were 34,260,
000, with a decrease of 9 per cent.

Mr. Gatts was a Socialist and on the
evening before his death he advertised
that he would lecture in the local
opera-house on religion and politics.
No one went to hear him and he was
so humiliated and disturbed that it is
thought that this caused his death.

VANCOUVER, Wash.. Sept. 13. (Spe

and procedure to secure the appropria
tions necessary for building the pro
posed Pacific Highway Bridge across
the Columbia River were taken up
with vim by the. joint bridge com-,
mittees of Portland and Vancouver,
which met this afternoon in the Van
couver Commercial Club rooms. Ar
rangements were made for drafting
the joint bill, to be presented to the
Legislatures of both Oregon and Wash
ington, and for the appointment of
committees throughout both states.
From Portland were: J. H. Nolta,
chairman of the committee: J. F.
Logan, C. C. Chapman, J. P.. Rogers,
Edgar B. Piper, president of the Port
land Commercial Club; J. Annand, C.

Frank A. Freeman, all of whom offered
suggestions.

Committees to Be Named.
It was decided to appoint committees
to draft the joint bill to be introduced
Into the Legislatures of both states; a
committee to take up the proposed ap
propriation from the Government with
Senators and Congressmen from both
states; an executive committee to out
line a plan to finance the project. The
largest committee will be conisosed
of one prominent man in each county
in both Oregon and Washington
to assist in every way possible to
further the interests of the proposed
bridge. The appointment of these com
mittees was authorized at the meeting
today, and another meeting will be
held within a short time to make the
selection. -
The question of apportionment was
discussed briefly today, but this will
be settled later, after other more Im
portant steps have been taken, and.
the machinery has been set in motion
which ultimately will result in a great
highway bridge one that will not
only unite two great cities, but will
weld the two great commonwealths of
Washington and Oregon, and link to
gether with bands of steel the two
ends of a great international highway.
Riley Relates Experiences.
Riley, in his discussion, told of the
ready response he found among people
living in Eastern, Central and North
ern Washington, all of whom appear
to be heartily in favor of having the
bridge built. All the newspapers in
Washington have discussed the project
favorably and but one or two have
been found in Oregon not in favor of
the plan. These, It Is believed, are
not fully informed about the project,
and have no conception of the great
benefit that will accrue to all parts of
both states as soon as the structure
Is completed.
A vote of thanks was given to The
Morning Oregonlan, the Oregon Jour
nal and the Evening Telegram and
local papers for the good work they
have done in taking up the enterprise
and exploiting it with all their power.
To J. H. Nolta was given the task
of having the Joint bill drafted and
gotten in shape for proper presenta
tion to the Washington and Oregon
Legislatures. To do this will require
two months arduous work.
Candidates Are Endorsed.
In Clark County the Pacific High
way Committee endorsed for the Leg
islature as Representatives, Georgo
McCoy and O. . B. Aagaard, both of
whom were nominated by large ma
jorities. These men ran on a -bridge
platform" largely, and are pledged to
work hard and consistently for the
bridge in the coming session of the
Legislature.
After the meeting today several of
the committee visited the Clark Coun
ty Fair.
