LAWYER FOR OPPOSITION ARRIVES IN GUY
Hearing on Intervention Is Set For
Next Friday Decision is
Exected Tuesdny.
The railroad committee met last
evening in ,the Commercial Club
rooms for the purpose of discussing
plans for the securing of the neces
sary right-of-way between this city
and the fair grounds where In all
probability the Immense saw mill of
the, Kendall's will be' located. Ac
cording to one member of the com
mittee who was present, the new
phase in the matter was not discuss
ed but eaah member was assigned
. come property owner through whose
land the railroad must pass, to work
upon. It Is though that by concerted
personal action on the part of all
members more headway can be made
than by any other way. Despite the
efforts on the part of a few citizens
and property owners of the city who
. are "endeavoring to block the largest
project which ihas come before (he
people of Roseburg since the town
was laid out by Attron Rose .the
committee is going right ahead and
work on the securing of the right-of-way.
They feel that regardless of
the decision of the supreme court In
the matter of Intervention the mat
ter can be. brought before the people
at the municipal election which will
be held during the month of October
and if any defects are found In the
amendments as proposed at the prea
ent time, they can be rectified and
the bond issue made stronger than
ever.
At the best it can mean a delay
of actual construction work jAintil
spring, for as one meniber express
ed himself this morning "The Ken
dalls are bound by a contract with
the city and they are willing to fulfill
their part of the contract as long as
the city .uses due caution In the mat
er of issuing. bonds."
Ralph Dunlway, who has been rej
talned by the few property owners to
intervene in the matter in order that
their rights and the 'rights of other
property owners of the city may not
be jeopardized- by the action of the

WASHING itN, , July " 21. Dis
patches to the state department from
Mexico City late., yesterday announc
ed that Zapata forces re-occupied the
capital Sunday, following the evacu
atlos by the Carranza army under
General Gonzalez.
Zapata officials were said to havo
resumed full control of the city from
which they were driven 10 dnyB ago
by Gonzalez, who now has gone
northward with his troops to meet
an advancing Villa force.
This unexpected development came
as a surprise, not only to officials of
the Washington government, but to
both the Mexican agencies. It had
been supposed that the Zapata army,
defeated ad harrnssed . In retreat,
was operating along the railroad to
Vera Cruz, waiting an opportunity to
form a junction with the Villa col
umn approaching fron the north.
Ilnttle nt I'licliucH Expected.
No word has been received of tne
whereabouts of General Gonzalez
Blnce he quit the capital. News of a
bnttle near Pachuca, already reached
by Villa's men, 1s hourly expected
and may already have occurred, mes
sages being sent here requiring
about j24 hours In transmission.
Other reportB to the state depart
ment during the day said that rail
road communication between Vera
Cruz nsd Mexico city was suspended,
"on account of the present military
operations," but r& details tf the
operations wore disclosed. SN'pen-
slon of railroad communication is

WASHINGTON, July 21. The ad
ministration Is Investigating reports
that submarines, presumably Ger
man, have been seen off the coast of
Maine. Naval authorities expressed
the holler that Germany planned a
submarine base on the American
coast, but officers were of the opin
ion that this had not yet been ac
complished. It was also tliolr opin
ion that a base for operatlona In
tho Cnrrlhenn sea rather than In the
north Atlantic zone was in view.
Secretary Daniels snld he did not
doubt that some ot the German sub
marines of the latest type could cross
tho ocean, but declared nothing of
