EAST OF ROCKIES WHITER IS KING The New American Cavalrymen Prepare : Camps on 67-Mile March for Fugitives. 1207 WOMEN IN PARTY Fugitive Soldiers and Refuse In habitants to Get Food and Shelter. Oroaco and Salaxar Make Good Escape Apparently. PRESIDIO. Tex., Jan. 12. Six Gen erals cf the Mexican federal army. 8300 fugitive soldiers and 1500 refugees, who were driven out of Ojinaga, Mexico, by General Francisco Villa's rebel forces, were put In readiness today for a four days march afoot over the 67 miles of road to Marfa, Tex. The soldiers will be interned at Fort Bliss Indef initely. At Marfa. the nearest railroad sta tion, the federal soldiers who sought asylum in the United States after their defeat by the rebels will be guarded by the border patrol, pending their final disposition by the War Department. Among the civilians are 1207 women, as officially counted by Major McNamee. They have also 1000 federal army horses and mules. Cavalrymen Prepare Way. Major McNamee sent cavalrymen Rlong the road to select and provision camps at the points where the proces sion will stop. The food supplies will be Issued through the Army. Major McNamee was without definite advices as to where the fugitives would be taken after they reached Marfa un til late today, when orders were re ceived to interne the soldiers at Fort Bliss and permitting the women and children to accompany the soldiers. The whereabouts of General Pascual Orozoo and Ynez Salazar, commanders of federal volunteers who fled from Ojinaga with 700 cavalrymen was un known to the rebels. Cowardice la Charged. The arrest of Rafael Flores, Orozco's secretary, on the road between Presidio and Marfa gave rise to the belief that the General was somewhere on this side of the river. General Mercado, of the federal regulars, charged Orozco and Kalazar with cowardice and the rebels have sentenced them to execution should they be captured on the Mexican side. i General Villa, who la In Ojinaga, started some of his troops to Chihuahua and hlmseir expected to leave for that city at once to direct his campaign southward toward Mexico City. Hun dreds of rifles and numerous field pieces were found in Ojinaga after the federal retreat. The field pieces were those which Goneral Mercado wished to bring to American soil because he had no ammu nition for them, but which ho was forced later to abandon. General Villa said he would use all the rifles and guns in his future cam paign against Huerta forces. The first federal garrison south of Chihuahua Is Torreon, E25 miles from the United States border. The suburbs of Torreon already are held by the rebels and General Villa said he ex pected little opposition there against his march to Zacatecas, the next city south. FREE WOOL l DENOUNCED Idaho Sheepmen and Forestry Offi cials on Best of Terms. BOISE, Idaho, Jan. 12. (Special.) Democratic free wool was branded un fair, unjust and unreasonable by sheep men In attendance at the annual ses sion of the Idaho Woolgrowers' Asso ciation, which opened here today. Grow ers did not hesitate to predict great losses to the industry in the Western wool states, due to the higher prices for mutton, but because there are fewer sheep It was declared by sheepmen ef fects of free wool and mutton would not cripple them as much now as dur ing the last Democratic Administration. Ex-Governor Gooding led the attack. Where formerly there was nothing but" bitter conflict peace reigned today when the woolgrowers and National forest officials held a Joint conference, the former thanking the latter for their fairness In the distribution of the range. They passed resolutions asking Idaho's Congressional delegation to secure an amendment to the appropriation bill so that one-tenth of the gross receipts from National forests can be expended in co-operation with public land states to destroy predatory animals.

ROGER WILLIAM S K AITS. SOCIETY FOLK WED Eleanor Guggenheim Is Bride of Roger W. Straus.. CEREMONY IN NEW YORK Grand Ballroom and Whole Second Floor of St. Kegls Hotel Bower of Flowers for Nuptials of Prominent Young People. NEW YORK, Jan. 12. (Special.) The grand ballroom and whole second floor of the St Regis Hotel was a fairyland of soft lights, roses, lilies and flowers today at the marriage of Miss Gladys Eleanor Guggenheim, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Guggenheim to Roger William Straus, son of Mr. and Mrs. Oscar S. Straus. The bride walked to the altar of roses on the arm of her father. Her gown waa of heavy white satin charmeuse combined with old point lace. She wore a veil of the same lace, arranged to fall from under the knot of hair, worn low on the neck and another tulle veil, which enveloped her. The bridegroom's gift, .a diamond pendant and chain. waa the only ornament worn. Her shower bouquet was of lilies of the valley and white orchids. Two little flower girls, Madeline and Corsal Hochstadter. and two pages. Daniel Guggenheim, Jr.. and Robert Guggenheim, carried baskets of roses and scattered them before the bride. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Joseph Silverman. The father of the bride Is one of the seven. Guggenheim brothers, whose copper and mining Interests extend all over the world. The bridegroom s father Is ex-Ambassador to Turkey, a member of President Roosevelt's Cabi net and BullMoose Gubernatorial can didate in 1912. LOW-FARE LAW IS KILLED (Continued From First Page.) same should be taken before the State Railroad Commission In accordance with the public utilities act, in which event the complaint would be given a hearing before a body which had the power to investigate the Justice of the complaint and to regulate the rates in question, If it were shown that they needed regulation. Judge Bean ordered that the tem porary Injunction previously granted by him against the operation of the ordinance be continued during the pen dency of the suit. Harrison Allen, who prepare, the company's complaint, and who, with Frederick V. Holman, tried the com pany's case, said last night that the city s only recourse Is to stand on the showing which it had made in support of its motion to have the suit dismissed, in which case the Injunc tion would be made permanent, giving the city an opportunity to appeal. Daly to Pass. Fight. Will H. Daly, Commissioner of Pub lic Utilities of the city, who brought the slx-for-a-quarter ordinance before the City Commission, said, however, that the matter will be taken before the State Railroad Commission. "We are not beaten yet," said Com missioner Daly. "We still can take the proposition up with the State Railroad Commission with some hope of win ning. There is no question in my mind as to the reasonableness of the ordi nance requiring the streetcar company to grant the reduced fares. As to .the legality,1 that is another question. "I have- not read over the decision of the Federal Court, but I do not sup pose there is anything to keep us from going before the Railroad Com mission with our case. I do not pro pose to go to the United States Su preme Court with the case." Assistant City Attorney Latourette, who represented the city, declared that the decision is of great Importance, Inasmuch as It deals directly with the question of the relative powers and Jurisdiction of the city government and the State Legislature. Mr. Latourette said that under Judge Bean's ruling the State Legislature can enact civil legislation for cities, which city gov ernments must observe and by which they must be limited. "Lesialatore Made ' Paramo ant." "The decision makes the Legislature paramount to the City Commission in Portland." said Mr. Latourette. "If the Legislature passes a measure, the City Commission cannot pass a similar measure and make the provisions- more drastic than the provisions of the state measure. The decision would legalize the policemen's pension fund, which is now being contested." The Bix-for-a-qtiarter ordinance was passed by the City Commission Novem ber 5, 1912. and would have been ef fective 30 days later but for the filing of the traction company's suit. Before the ordinance was passed, the State Railroad Commission had begun an investigation, conducted by experts, to determine the physical valuation of the properties of the Portland. Railway, Light & Power Company as "the only scientific means for arriving at a proper basis for fixing rates. The city, however, has not taken any interest in the investigation, nor has .it had any representation, legal or otherwise, in the Bubject before the Commission. GRANTS PASS RULING CITED Mr. Miller Thinks Cases Finally Settle Rate-Making Question. SALEM, Or., Jan. 12. (Special.) Chairman Miller, of the State Railroad Commission, said tonight that the de cision of Judge Bean was In line with his decision In the Grants Pass electric light case, in which he held that the Commission had jurisdiction over all public utilities in the state. "Municipal regulation has twice been rejected by the people of Portland," declared Mr. Miller. "The Commission has construed the law, which was passed by the 1911 Legislature and ap proved by the people November 5, 1912, virtually as it has been construed by Judge Bean. We are glad, however, that the decision was made by the court, for it settles the question for ever, and we may proceed with regu lating the various utilities. There is no question as to the Legislature hav. ing Intended that the law should be so construed, and the people evidently un derstood It that way when they rat ified it. I do not think the case will be carried to the United States Circuit Court of Appeals, but if it should be I believe the decision will be the same. I, of course, will not be able to give a complete analysis of the opinion until I have read it carefully." SLAVE GIRLS DEPORTED FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ORDERS TWO RETURNED TO CHINA. Instructions Promptly Carried Out. Write of Habeas Corpus Are Is sued Too Late to Be of Use. Influential and wealthv Chinese of Portland interested in the case of Ah Sing and Yut'Yow, slave girls ordered deported by the Federal authorities on the ground that they were retained In the United States for improper purposes. were dismayed yesterday on learning that about 7:30 o'clock In the morning the girls had been taken from the County Jail and started on their Jour ney tome. R. P. Bonham, acting In charge of the Portland office of the Immigration De partment, was given full credit for hav ing ordered the women taken from the city, as in both cases writs of habeas corpus were being prepared and one was filed on Mr. Bonham a few hours after the women left the Jail. Mr. Bon ham refused to divulge in what direc tion the girls were traveling or from what port they would sail. They were arrested November ,'an'd it Is said that influences other than the fact that they were in this country for Immoral purposes had a bearing on the case. It is some time since a Chinese woman has been deported from Port land and these cases were stubbornly fought. The defendants were at liberty on bonds of $4000 each following their trial, when an order came from Wash ington for their deportation. They were surrendered by their bondsmen and their departure from this city arranged without loss of time. Mr. Bonham gave no information to attorneys for the girls as to their whereabouts, acting on the advice of Deputy United States District- Attor ney Johnson, but admitted that they were beyond his jurisdiction. Ashland Banks Show Gain. ASHLAND, Or.. Jan. 12. (Special.)

Blizzards and High Winds Rage in Northern Belt With . Little Warning. GULF CROPS IN DANGER Interurban Car in Indiana Blown From Track and Several Hart. Mercury Reaches 5 Above Zero in Chicago. CHICAGO, Jan. 12. (Special.) Genu ine Winter weather descended upon practically all the country east of the Rockies last night and Is scheduled to remain at least two days. The North and West, with the excep tion of the hundreds or thousands of hungry and ill-clad in the cities, rather welcome the hard freezing weather, as It will be of vast benefit to crops, clear the atmosphere and water, both of which have been murky for months. It will also enable merchants all over the country to unload some of the heavy stocks of Winter goods they have had choking their shelves and. counters for four months. Soutbern Crops In Hunger. But in the Southwestern Gulf Coast country the freezing weather means calamity. It will practically destroy the orange and grapefruit crops and do vast damage to vegetable and truck farms. Commission men and mer chants here hope the extent of the damage has been exaggerated. In Chicago the temperature sank from Sunday's maximum of 35 above zero to 5 above during the night and the sud den change caused much suffering. An interesting fact is that it is colder In Chicago than In Sitka, Alaska. Tem perature there is 42 above zero, or 37 degrees warmer than In Chicago. Yuma, Ariz., had the same tempera ture as Sitka. Some other tempera tures were: Q'Appelle, 24; Devil's Lake, N. D., 20; Duluth. Minn,. 18; Moore head, Minn., 14; St. Paul, 10; Quebec, 10; Sault Ste. Marie, 8; Charles City, la., 6; Lacrosse, Wis., 8; Marquette, Mich:, 4; Sioux City. Ia, 2; Madison, Wis., 2. High Wind Causes Wrecks. Blizzards raged in Michigan all of the night. At Cadillac a child wrapped in blankets was carried 14 miles through the fierce blizzard and suc cessfully operated on for appendicitis. At Benton Harbor the high wind caused the sand to drift and resulted in the wreck of a train in which two persons were hurt. At the western limits of Gary, Ind., high winds sweeping across the prairie blew an interurban car from the track and it turned turtle in the ditch. Two trainmen and several passengers were seriously Injured. At Chippewa Falls, Wis., two little girls burned to death in their home while a furious blizzard was raging. White River, across the Canadian border, seems to "be. the coldest spot re corded tonight with 30 below. Heavy rains are reported from the Pacific Coast with heavy snow In Eastern Can ada and the New England states. The storm seems to be general over Europe and South America.: France and England report unusual gales along the coasts and heavy snows Inland, in South America the storm took on the nature of earthquakes and tidal wave at Callao. Peru. . GOTHAM STORM IS FREAKISH Mercury Drops, Windows Broken, Dozens Hurt, Shipping: Tied Up. NEW YORK, Jan. 12. A cold and blustery northwester, traveling at times 74 miles- an hour, tying up con siderable shipping, injuring dozens of persons, smashing plate glass windows, leveling signs and playing freakisn pranks upon pedestrians In the canyons between the city's skyscrapers today gave New York its first real touch of Winter. Starting at 26 de grees above zero, the mercury fell gradually during the day until at mid night it had reached 12 degrees above, with indications that It would go still lower. The coming of- the cold wave was heralded by a flurry of snow, but the high winds soon brushed away the clouds, and throughout most of the re mainder of. the day the sun shone brightly. The wind and the resultant strong tides were responsible for an accident in the North River this evening when the Erie Railroad ferryboat Suffern and a Pennsylvania Railroad car float collided. Eight hundred passengers aboard the Suffern were thrown Into a panlo and several women fainted. Numerous passengers were bruised and cut. Though seriously damaged, the faurrern reached her slip safely and landed the passengers. The Red Star steamer Lapland, in ward bound from Antwerp with about (uu passengers, was obliged to anchor off quarantine owing to the gale, while lartner aown me Day, oil sandy Hook, the lumber-laden schooner ThomRn Winsmore lies tonight with her nose stuck in a mud bank and heavy seas sweeping over her.

UNEMPLOYED AT SALEM (Continued rom HMrst Page.) and it was evident that Secretary of State Olcott did not take kindly to it. In fact the Governor's premature and hasty action almost precipitated a row among the members of the Board, and but for the action of Dr. R. E. Lee Stelner, superintendent of the State Insane Asylum, who insisted upon get. ting orders from a majority of the Board, there probably would have been serious trouble. - ' Jobs Are Authorised. , v It was at the Instance of Dr. Stelner that the Board met, discussed giving the men work pulling stumps and de cided that Dr. Stelner could employ ten of them for ten days at $1.50 a day. After buying breakfast for the "army at a local restaurant, which cost him $25, and as a result of which he said he would "have to stand off his own grocer," Governor West promised 40 of the men work at $1.50 a day. out of which they were to pay $4 a week board at the state Institutions. Ten were sent to the Insane Asylum, ten V SEE THAT WE PUT THE "EE'S" IN EYES I Eyeease increases your comfort and efficiency. $ Eyestrain is at the bot tom of many an ailment.

The men sent to the Feeble-Minded Institute soon returned to the city, declaring that they had been told they must sleep in a barn, which they de clined to do. They said the barn leaked and that many of the. window panes were broken. These men re joined the "army" and In double file it marched to the Statehouse, halting in the rotunda. E. W. Rimer, leader. called upon Governor West and asked what he was going to do. The Governor said that he had done all within his power, and intimated that the refusal of the men sent to the Feeble-Minded Institute to go to work proved that they were not seeking work. Asked If he would allow the "army" to occupy the Armory, Mr. West said he did not have the. custody of the building. Max Gehlaher, captain of the local military company, however, gave permission. Provisions for supper were fur nished by several stores and house keepers, and while the men said the meal was not adequate, they would have to make it do. It is believed that they plan staying here for at least several days, and a report that the march would be continued south to morrow is not given much credence. SECOND ARMY AT BEAVERTON Men Disorderly Leaving Portland and Clash With Police. Another hobo armv started yesterday out of Portland in the direction of Hillsboro, by the Canyon road, escorted to Nineteenth and Jefferson streets by Police Sergeant Lyons and an emer gency squad from police headquarters. Several disorders occurred along the - oute. At Third and Stark streets the marchers obstructed traffic and In the effort to drive them along, the police clashed with them. No arrests were made. Many of the mn were equipped with blankets. ' At Fourteenth and Jefferson streets a kind-hearted old woman with a basket of doughnuts distributed them. In their eagerness to get them, the marchers fought among themselves and the po lice were forced to interfere. HILLSBORO, Or.. Jan. 12. (Special.)

IF BACK HURTS BEGIN ON SALTS Flush your Kidneys ocasionally if you eat meat 1 regularly. No man or woman who eats meat regularly can make a mistake by flush ing the kidneys occasionally, says a well-known authority. Meat forms uric acid which clogs the kidney pores so they sluggishly filter or strain only a part of the waste and poisons from the blood. Then you get sick. Nearly all rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble, nervousness. constipation, dizziness, -sleeplessness, bladder disorders come from sluggish kidneys. The moment you feel a dull ache ii the kidneys or your back hurts, or if the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sediment, irregular of passage or at tended by a sensation of scalding, get about four ounces of J ad Salts from any reliable pharmacy and take a table spoonful In a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This fa mous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon Juice, combined with lithia and has been used fur genera tions to flush clogged kidneys' and stimulate them to activity, also to neu tralize the acids in urine so it no lone er causes irritation, thus ending blad der disorders. Jad Salts Is inexpensive and can not injure: makes a delightful effer vescent lithia-water drink which all regular meat eaters should take now and then to keep the kidneys clean and the blood pure, thereby avoiding seri ous kidney complaints.
