Battle Still Raging in Streets
And fnd is Near
REPORT 2500 FEDERALS KILLED
Commander Believed lo Have Not Over
3000 Ablcbodied Men Left The
Rebel Loss Reported Is 900
(Special to the Evening Review).
EL PASO, March 30. With his
force of able bodies men reduced,
the rebels believe, to not more than
3000, General Velnsco, the Federal
commander at Torreon, was still re
sisting at 1 o'clock this morniiiK, a?
cording to a dispatch received here.
The battle in Torreon 's streets was
raging when the message was sent.
It vas stated that the rebels are slow
ly gaining ground. It is estimated
that fully 2500 federals were killed
and as many more wounded. The
rebel loss was also very heavy, but
no figures were given.
Ilotli Sides l.oso Heavily.
JUAREZ. Most.. March 29. An
official message from the front to
night says that fighting is still going
on for the possession of Torreon.
The telegram says the rebels now
hold all positions except the main
barracks and -the two smaller bar
racks. In the last 24 hours it is re
ported that General Villa took Cerro
de la Cruz and the Torreon foundry.
Another telegram admits a rebel
loss in the last six days of 900 killed
and .wounded and places the federal
loss at 2000. As there are already
at Chihuahua BOO wounded, the re
port of the rebel losses (s thought to
have been minimized. Among the
rebel wounded Is General Thomas
Urbina.
It is said that private soldiers
taken prisoners are being taken into
the rebels' ranks, but their officers
are executed unless they take the
oath of allegiance to the Constitu
tionalist cause. All irregular troops
in the federal garrison are executed
on capture.
General Venustlano Carranza, first
chief of the revolution, was welcomed
to Juarez today. In the last two
weeks the general has ridden horse
bnck for !00 miles and in the last
two months he has traveled 2000
miles in the same way. He looks
the picture of health and vigor.
He was in uniform, spick and span
for the occasion. To those who were
presented to him he stretched out a
big, strong hand with a firm, warm
grasp.
"Have you any advices from Tor
reon?" he was asked.
"1 think thero has been no news
since last night." he replied. "Per
haps General Villa has not yet taken
the city."
Ho added that he bad no occasion
to modify his decree of several
months ago, wherein he said that no
act or contract of the Jluerta gov
ernment would be recognized should
the revolutionists succeed in captur
ing Mexico City.
"Huerta Is not president of Mexico
and none of his acts can be legal."

Judge Rice's address on co-opera-livo
road building, delivered before
the forestry convention on Saturday
afternoon, was a masterpiece of
thought and composition. He pre
sented In a clear and forceful man
ner the great need for better high
ways. The method of collecting and
distributing the road fund were out
lined, and suggestions offered for se
curing higher efficiency in the appli
cation of these funds. He brought
out the value of Federal co-operation
in the various road allotments made
through the forest service, and de
picted the great future of Douglas
County when, as a result of this co
operation, its resources shall have
been fully developed.
COMMERCIAL CLUB HAS
MANY INQUIRIES; ALSO
SEVERAL NEW ARRIVALS
W. E. Wright, of Duluth, Minn.,
who spent a few days here recently,
has returned home, to come here
again in the near future with his
family to locate. He came out to look
over the country about Roseburg, on
the Influence of literature sent by
the local Commercial Club. !
E. Small ts an arrival here within
the past few days from Smuggler,
Colo., who after a brief comparison
of the reality with the reportB of this
country, believes he will remain. He
has already rented a house for his
family and is negotiating for the pur
chase of a fruit ranch. He is a hoist
ing engineer formerly employed in
one of the big mines. His partner,
who had the other shift with him in
the mine, is also thinking of coming
to Itoseburg. A picture carried by
Mr. Small bIiows his home almost
covered with snow, which at the time
was about eight feet deep on the
level.
Secretary Jo&ephson reports that
from four to six people each week are
visiting the local Commercial Club
from Eastern cities, due to corres
pondence with the publicity depart
ment. Many of these decide to lo
cate, while others after gaining in
formation, return home to bring their
families later.
The Commercial Club this morn
ing received from the forestry pro
ducts branch of the. Department of
Agriculture at Washington, a dozeu
clothes plus made from red alder, a
wood of which there is a supply
in this vicinity. The letter states that
it has been found by thorough test
that the alder makes a good substi
tute for birch and beach woods,
which have been almost exclusively
used heretofore in the manufacture
of clothes pins, broom handles,
matches, saddle-trees and like arti
cles. The letter also suggests that
some action might be taken to utilize
the wood near here for manufacture.
It is found usually on rich soil and
has to be cut and burned, in order
to prepare the ground for agricultural
uses. The clothes-pins appear to com
pare favorably with the article made
of other woods, and tests show that
it can be used also to make high
grade broom handles, etc.

Portland Journal: William Han
ley, of Burns, Or., familiarly known
as the catile king of Harney County,
has entered the race for the United
mates Seuato, haviug announced last
night his candidacy for the Progres
sive nomination. He is tjie third to
announce himself for the position,
the other two being George E. Cham
berlain, Democratic incumbent, and
R. A. Booth, of Eugene. Republican
candidate.
The announcement of Mr. Hanley
is in response to requests from mem
bers of the Progressive party, and is
the direct result of a luncheon of the
Progressive party held last Thursday,
when the hope of Inducing him to
declare his candidacy was expressed.
Leaders of the party here have per
sonally urged Mr. Hanley to enter the
Senatorial race, while others ex
pressed their sentiments in the form
of the following petition, signed by
a large number of the local Progres
sives: "We, the undersigned members of
the Progressive party, being appre
ciative of the services you have ren
dered the cause of the development
of Oregon, and believing that the
principles you stand for are in ac
cord with the National platform of
the Progressive party, herewith urge
you to declare yourself a candidate
for the office of United States Sena
tor on the Progressive ticket."
IttHlfk'M Praises Chamberlain.
"The people of the Northwest owe
Senator Chamberlain a great debt.
To him as much as any one is due
the taking of the lid off Aluska," de
clared William C. Rediield, secretary
of commerce, addressing a imblic
'gathering in the Masonic Temple last
night, under the auspices of the Jack
son Club.
"What he has done means more
than we can venture now to believe
or dream.
"He has laid the whole Northwest
under a personal obligation to him.
"What he has done in this connec
tion is characteristic of his entire
service. He tries in every conscien
tious way to serve his people.
"You of Oregon have In the Senate
two upright men who are a credit to
the state."
There was an outburst of applause
when Senator Chamberlain's name
was mentioned, and again when Sec
retary Rod field spoke of Senator
Lane.
So good was the speech of last
night that many present thought it
a pity the Secretary of Commerce
failed to permit arrangements for a
meeting in a larger auditorium where
a greater number of Portland people
might hear him.
His address was anything but po
litical. He talked of the work of the
department, evidencing intimate
knowledge of its organization and
making important announcements of
plaus for the Northwest and Alaska.

House Will Repeal Panama Tolls
Exemption Clause
CROWNING INSULT SAYS WILSON
Regarding Charge That He Had Made a Deal
Wilh England for Support of
His Policy in Mexico
(Special to the Evening Review).
WASHINGTON, March 30. The
final voto on the Sims resolution for
the repeal of the Panama tolls ex
emption clause will be reached in the
House Tuesday nfternoon, according
to predictions of House lenders. To
day's session was devoted to minor
speeches for and against repeal.
Speaker Clark is expected to make
the final speech against the repeal
measure. It is not known whether
he will confine himself to an eco
nomic discussion of the question or
assail directly President Wilson and
his ropenl policy. If he attacks the
President the hitter's friends, it la
stated, aro certain to retaliate.
President Wilson today resented
as a "crowning insult" Representa
tive Knowland's charge on the floor
of tho House that he had entered into
n bargain with England whereby the
tolls exemption clause will be elim
inated, in return for Englnnd 8 sup
port of America's Mexican policy. Re
plying to a specific question whether
he hnd entered into any deal with Sir
William Tyrell, the President said:
"Of course that answers Itself. It Is
Just a crowning Insult of a number
of Insults that have been Injected in
to tho Panama tolls debate."
During today the belief was grow
ing that Speaker Clark will not at
tack President Wilson when he
speaks agaiirst the canal tollB repeal
resolution. Either Representative
Aduinsnn or Representative Coving
ton will reply to Clark, and they In
timated that It depended entirely up
on the Spanker's address whether
there will be peace or war. Only
nine or the 20 hours al'otted tor de
bate had been spent when tho House
met at noon. The sosslon will end at
7 p. in., leaving hut four hours tor
debate tomorrow. Then will come
I ho vote on tho measure.
