in the hills several miles to the south
tonight evidently to await the arriv

It is reported that more troops are

and possibly will arrive late tonight.
In this event a renewal of the battle
will be expected at daybreak. Machine
guns and ammunition are being hur

The woman who was killed was
identified as a relative of Carza Ri

Twenty rebels and 15 federals are
known to have been killed. About
40 wounded have been cared for at
an improvised hospital by American
physicians and with women from La

followers of Carranza, entered the
city last night and opened the battle
at daybreak with a fussilade fired
from a factory building. The federal
garrison of 350 men was in action
within a few minutes and the battle
continued for an hour and a half,
the rebels finally being driven to the
hills.
A number of rebel wounded were
shot to death by the federals, it is
said, and an accurate estimate of the
casualties will not be possible until
a more complete exploitation of the
streets and alleys through which the
battle raged is made.
. Apparently it was a fight without
quarter. One rebel soldier was seen
to fall, as if dead, but when the charg
ing federals reached him, he raised
his head. A federal leveled a rifle,
blowing off part of the wounded man's
head, whereupon several of the fed
erals kicked the body out of the way
until it rolled down an embankment.
It was reported that the federals re

WILLIAM R. RATHVON, OF DEN
VER, ADDRESSES BIG
AUDIENCE
LAWS AND STATEMENTS ARE PROVED
"Science and Health With Key to
Scriptures" Only Text Book
Besides Holy
Bible
"In the opening statement of our
textbook, Science and Health, with
Key to the Scriptures, the words are
written: To those leaning on the
sustaining infinite, today is big with
blessings, j,
"After forty years experience of
study and demonstration, there' are
thousands and thousands of men and
women in all walks oflife, testifying
to the truth of that statement.
"Vhen Jesus of Nazareth stood be
fore Pilate, he was asked a question,
a question which has been asked un-
-"umbered times, 'What is truth'?
ior tirrtari-g he had been teach
ing, and proviifs the truth' about
man, and always, Wiftir--a:riEd for
proof of his teachings he referred tn
his works, and he made these state
ments, which have equal bearing. on
all men. 'By their fruits ye shall
know them.' 'He that believeth in
me, the works that I do he shall do
also.'
"In my own experience, I can testi
fy to the healing power of the truth
as taught by Christian Science; a
member of my family who had been
a great sufferer for many years was
restored to health by its teachings.
"We have with us this evening an
authorized lecturer and member of
the board of lectureship of the First
Church of Christ Scientist in Boston,
Mass., who does not come, seeking
converts to the Christian Science
faith, but rather does he come to
give us authentic information in re
gard to its teaching.
"I have the pleasure to introduce
to you Ladies and Gentlemen, Wil
liam R. Rathvon, who will now ad
dress you.
"W. T. HISLOP,
"Meldrum Place."
Mr. Rathvon spoke as follows in Ore
gon City Monday night at the Shive
fey .Opera House, the big auditorium
being crowded:
"The intelligent study of any sci
ence should proceed by the orderly
use of its text-books. Its laws and
its statements thus learned are to be
proved in the class room, in the lab
oratory, or in the field, as the case
may be.
"Christian Science, universal in its
usefulness and in its availability is
likewise to be learned from its text
book and then proved and demonstra
ted in all the various avenues and ac
tivities of everyday life, wherever man
mingles with man or his interests
teach those of his fellows. Besides
the Bible.
"Christian Science has but one text
book, 'Science and Health with Key
to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Ed
dy. It is not a book u be quickly
read or hastily thumber over as one
would a shallow novel. Nor is it to
be approached' with bias or prejudice
if one would ,shareN-its riches; but its
truths may be proved and in turn im
parted by child or sage who turns its
leaves with an open mind. Only the
open flower it is that catches the dew
and yields its honey to the bee.
"Saint and sinner meet on common
ground, in the pages of this remark
able book and though it starts all
alike at the bottom of the ladder it
always lifts up never drags down.
Time and again its covers have been
rudely torn open my unfriendly hands
in search of phrases to wrench from
their context and with which to smite
men of straw, yet neither force nor
deceit, the blundering of the bear or
the sunning of the fox can avail to
divert or suppress its tidings of com
fort and joy.
"It has been asserted that Christian
Scientiests place their text-book above
the Bible as the guide to righteous
ness. No one can honestly make this
allegation who has read the book care
fully, for on page 497 of Science and
Health are printed these words, the
first of a series of tenets of our re
ligion: "As adherents of Truth we take the
inspired Word of the Bible as pur
sufficient guide to eternal Life."
What more emphatic and explicit
negation of such a charge could be
demanded?
"The truths of Christian Science do
not originate in the book Science
and Health. They find expression
there but their origin is in God. They
have always existed and will forever
exist. What effect, then, it may be
asked, does the study of this book
have upon those who have previously
been Bible students? Does it sup
plant the Bible in their reverence and
admiration? Is the Book of books less
precious to them than before? The
answer is, 'No.' On the other hand
Science and Health harmonizes many
seeming incongruities in the Bible
which have long perplexed layman and
theologian; it explains apparent con
tradictions; it discloses unexpected
riches ; ; it gives new significance to
favorite passages, and brings neg
lected ones into favor. " '
The study and application of it
teachings by those who have had lit
tle or no familiarity with the Scrip
tures has made them Bible students
and Bible lovers. The one time athe
ist, the scoffer and the blasphemer
are finding the Gospel a treasure
house of joy and consolation whose
untried doors had been barred against
them until unlocked by the Key forged
by the hands of a gentle woman who
loved all mankind. No other book in
modern times has made so many Bi
ble readers.

er the backs of horses and elephants.
He lived in Portland a number of
years and has many friends there.
Soon after he was stricken Mr. Petty

CIVIL WAR VETERAN
DIES AT SON'S HOME
The death of Atwell Martin ocur
red in this city Sunday morning at
the home of his son, H. E. Martin.
Mtr. Martin, who was 75 years of
age, had been suffering for about
three weeks from an attack of par
alysis and was unable to regain his
strength. Mr. Martin was born in
Kentucky September 2, 1838. He mov
ed to Tacoma, Wash., many years ago
and two years ago he came to 'Ore
gon City to live with his son, H. E.
Martin, and has since lived in this
city. He served three years in the
Union Army during the civil war and
was a member of the Grand Army of
the Republic. He had many friends
in this city. Besides his son in this
city, there are six other children:
F. W. Martin, Van Martin, and
Charles Martin, of Cle Elum, Wash.;
Robert Martin, of Spokane; Lee Mar
tin, of Seattle, and Mrs. J. N. Tracey,
of Seattle. All of the children were
in this city during Mr. Miartin's ill
ness. The funeral services will be held
at the Portland Crematorium . this af
ternoon at 3 o'clock, Friends and
members of the G. A. R. are request-
fed to meet at the Martin home at
Eleventh and Washington Streets
at 2 o'clock. A special car has been
engaged to take the party to the cre
matorium. I
Professor E. A. Sisson, of Reed
College, will be the principal speaker
at a banquet pf the Congregational
Brotherhood this evening. The ban
quet will start at 6:30 o'clock. Pro
fessor Sisson formerly was connect
ed with the University of Washington.
He is a speaker of national reputa
tion and an authority on education
in the Northwest. In order that the
public may have an opportunity to
hear the address the brotherhood has
decided to have the big. meeting of
the evening in the audience room of
the church. His subject will be,
"Men's Work in Education." Profes
sor Sisson believes in the broadest
conception of education and that
popular - education should be closely
related to civic welfare. It is believ
ed that the auditorium will be crowd
ed, for it is seldom that a speaker
of the reputation of Professor Sissoa
lectures in this city. No charge will
be made to hear the address.

How Advertising
Reduces Your
Cost Of Living
By John P. Fallon
Advertising is the means by
which merchants of manufact
" urers may tell a great number
of people about the superior
quality of their goods, the de
sirability of their merchandise
and the reason it will be to
your advantage to patronize
them.
v Advertising enables mer
chants to bring hundreds and :
thousands of customers to their
stores. It enables them to do
a large volume of business at
minimum expense.
4 Advertising establishes" the
confidence of the conmunity,
makes new friends, keeps old
customers interested and brings
the news of the store right in
to the customer's home.
The merchant who advertis
es continuously appeals to all
tne- people in town, while the
merchant who does not adver
tise sits within his door and
waits for the people to find
him out or accidentally drop in
as they are passing by.
'Advertising is such a power
ful selling force and business
builder that merchants who use
it are enabled to sell better
goods at the lowest prices.

WASHINGTON, March 17. Suf
rage for the women of the United
States- by a constitutional amend
ment, was formally presented to Pres
ident Wilson today by a committee1
of national leaders in the movement.
Wilson was urged to recommend to
the special session of Congress ac
tion on such an amendment, but he
told his visitors he had not made up
his mind on the woman suffrage ques
tion. "The President was courteous and
sympathetic throughout," said Mrs.
Ida Husted Harper, of New York,
and prominent in the National Wo
mans' Suffrage Association. He
said there were many pressing ques
tions to come up at the extra session
and that if he did not recommend ac
tion on woman suffrage, he-did not
want it to be taken as an indication
of his geiferal attitude, as he was not
committing himself yet.''
Other members of the party 'said
the President viewed woman suf
frage as a question or great import
ance. There . were indications, they
sail that the President was open
minded on the subject.
Harvey A. Wiley, of the House
keepers' Alliance, set forth the. value
of suffrage from the viewpoint of
the mother influencing society.
Mrs. Claude V. Stone, wife of Rep

that only by amendment to the feder

PASSERSBY THINKS THEM ROBBERS
Janitor, Not Knowing Girls are In
Building, Locks Door and
Goes to His
Home
Pedestrians on Eighth Street were
given a mild sensation Sunday even
ing when peculiar sounds were heard
coming from the court house. Several
of the pedestrians stopped, and, in a
few minutes one of the rear windows
was slaw-ly raised and a shadowy fig
ure peered into the fast growing .
darkness and scanned the court
house yard in all directions.
About this time one man became
excited at the thought that he might
become a hero and was about to make
a rush for the chief of police and an
nounce that housebreakers were in
the Temple of Justice. As he was
catching his breath he heard a girl
ish voice from the court house say:
"Come on girls, the cpast is clear."
Recovering his composure, he saw
several young -women slowly crawl
out of a window and jump to the
ground.
Upon investigation he found that
about six of the young women em
ployed in the sheriff's office had been
working upon the tax roll Sunday and
had become so interested in their
work that when 5:30 o'clock came,
the- janitor went out the building and,
not noticing that the girls were still
at Work, locked the door. At half
past six they found this out and as
a result were forced to climb out of
the window and jump six feet to the
ground. .
