SECRETARY AUDITS THE ACCOUNTS NOW The Dlmick law went Into effect last Saturday and under Its provi sions any secretary or treasurer of any state commission, board or cor poration Is subject to being prosecut ed for a misdemeanor if within 10 days from the passage of the law if he falls to turn over to the state treasurer the fees obtained bf such board, commission or corporation. Prior to the enactment of this law the practice followed was for the sec retary or treasurer of a board to place the monies collected in the way of the fees, in a bank and then when claims were presented to check againsi me account:. Under the Dlmick law, however, this Is no longer allowed but all monies taken in must be turned di rectly over to the state treasurer, and no claims will be allowed until they , have been audited by the secretary of state. ( Heretofore the appropriations for ' the University of Oregon and the Ore gon Agricultural college have been set aside for them and they have been allowed to check upon them and audit their own bills, but they also come j under the Dlmick law and must com-! ply with its provisions. JOES AGAINST SALEM IX TRIAL TODAY The case of T. D. Jones against the city of Salem is being heard this at-' ternoon by Judge Galloway.

A desper ate encounter In the heavens between the king of birds and a man bird oc curred during today's Madrid to Paris aviation race which resulted in another victory for man. Artator Gibert while flying high in the air was attacked by a huge eagle, which darted at him with great fury. .Gibert clung to his machine as the eagle lost its grip and went hurtling out into space. Recovering, the bird again swept down on the rear of the plane, narrowly missing being caught in the propeller. Again the giant bird swung free and again swooped down to the at tack.

I UNITED PRESS LBARBD WIB1. El Paso, Texas, May 25. Collapse of the peace negotiations In Mexico and a resumption of the struggle against Diaz came unexpectedly to day, when Provisional President Ma dero, head of the rebel forces, or dered a renewal of hostilities. The first clash is expected to come at Saltillo, CoahuMa. The cause of Madero's action Is said to be a refusal to allow him to name the governor of Coahulla and possibly of 13 other states, where he claimed this privilege as a guarantee of good faith by the Madero party. Full details of the break are not obtainable. Madero's orders for a resumption of the war are caused by a claim that the Diaz forces have broken the trea ty and to a growing belief that he is being "double-crossed" by De Labar ra. He has apparently abandoned hope of effecting Diaz's withdrawal without further bloodshed, and today ordered Colonel Castro, with 1200 In surgents, to take Saltillo, where 1000 federals, under Colonel Garcia, are in garrison. The trouble grew out of the fact that the Coahulia legislature refused to elect V. Carcanda, a Maderlst, as governor, In compliance with the terms of the rebel chief's bargain with Diaz. Late this afternoon Madero's army learning that Diaz had not yet re signed, demanded to be allowed to march against Mexico City, and Ma ATTACKS AVIATOR I vnlvpr. fired and the pncrle rirnnned I earthward.
