that he was entitled to the land. Inas
much as he had lived thereon five years.

Its surrender before that hour.
Orozco, the rebel commander, at 10
o'clock tonight made his intention known
by courier from a camp below the city
to the jefe politico of Juarez. He has
given notice to the consuls of all for
eign nations at Juarez that the shell
ing of the city will occur at the desig
nated hour.
Cludad Juarez Is practically depopu
lated tonight, the residents having fled
to this city in fear of an attack. The
Mexican postoffice and two branch
banks In Juarez were closed tonight,
after all the money and records had
been brought here for safety.
This attack is planned under the di
rection of Gulterrez do Lara, the revo
lutionary leader who waa arrested at
Los Angeles about a year ao at the
Instigation of the Mexican government,
but was released after much agitation.
His plan Is to use Juarez as a base

supplies from the Vnited Statea.

took desperate measures today to check
the approach of the insurrectos, who
tonight were reported within 20 miles
of Juarez. The Fdurteenth Cavalry was
sent out to dynamite the tracks of the
Mexican Central Railway, over which
line a train was traveling northward
toward Juarez, loaded with rebels.
The train bearing the Insurrectos ran
over a mine of dynamite, which ex
ploded, shattering one of the coaches,
but It Is not known just how many
persons were killed. Tho coalpasser
on the engine was blown to pieces, but
the engineer, suspecting danger, leaped
from the engine and was only slightly
hurt. The engine passed over the
charge of explosives and was not badly
damaged.

A battle between the Fourteenth
Cavalry and tha insurrectos raged for
several hours. Thirty-two federal
cavalrymen are believed to have been
killed, the estimate being based upon
the number of riderless cavalry horses
which strayed Into Juarez today. Six
insurrectos were killed. Many were
wounded on both sides.

who are left In Juarez were aroused

Discovery of Californlan Also Will
Revolutionize Fever Treatment,
Experts Declare.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 2. (Special.)
Experiments of deep Interest to the
medical profession are being made at
the Southern Pacific Hospital here,
where patients are being Inoculated
with an anti-fever serum which It Is
predicted will revolutionize the treat
ment of fever cases.
The discovery of the serum was
made by Dr. August Francis Schafer.
of Bakersfield. It was the result of
long laboratory work. The older and
regular physicians are awaiting more
positive results from the tests and ex
periments. They declare, however, that
he entire method of treating fever
will be changed If the serum accom
plishes what Is claimed for it.
Those who accept the efficacy of
the serum declare that with its use
fever can be eradicated as easily as
a cut may be nealed with the aid of
a styptic stick. The advocates of the
use of the serum decline to explain
the methods of operation.
"It cannot be denied- that the experi
ments have had wonderful results,"
declared one of the physicians.
"But It cannot be said that the ex
periments are conclusive by any means.
It may require another generation be
fore positive proof of the effects of
any serum may be obtained."
It is claimed that pneumonia suc
cumbs to the serum treatment within
24 hours and tuberculosis within four
days.

FOOD SPECULATORS LOSE
Butter Plunger Must Ship Cold
Storage Holdings to Europe.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 2. According
to a statement made today by C. M.
Drake, president of the Philadelphia
Produce Exchange, speculators in sec
ond grade butter In New York and Chi
cago have been unable to find a market
for all of their cold-storage holdings and
will bo compelled to ship 3.000,000 pounds
of the product to Europe to save them
selves from absolute loss.
Drake said that one large speculator
In Chicago would lose about $350,000 on
70.000 tubs of higher grade butter pur
chased last Spring for 'I and 32 cents a
pound. Today it is selling at an aver
age wholesale price of 25 cents a pound.
Mr. Drake said a speculator who had
shipped five carloads of Western eggs to
Philadelphia had lost heavily. The eggs
cost the shipper, Mr. Drake said, 23
cents a dozen and he got only 15c and 16c
wholesale in this city.

NEW YORK, Feb. 2. A formal pro
test was made against ex-District
Attorney Jerome's characterization of
them as a "ragtime Jury,"' to Judge
Swann in the General Sessions Court
today by the Jurors who declared Jo
seph G. Robin sane.
Jerome gave utterance to this re
mark in an address before the Acad
emy of Medicine last night, when he
also referred to Judge Swann as "this
half-backed Judge who holds office by
the grace of Charlie Murphy."
He previously had stated that the
verdict given by the Jury adjudging
Robin sane was nothing less than a
travesty on justice.
AVIATOR GREETS CRUISERS

SAN DIEGO, Cal., Feb. 2. Saluted by

Point, met Harkness, who swooped across
North Island from the aviation school at
terrific speed. As he approached the
California, the crew cheered and the
siren voiced the appreciation of the
naval men at the greeting signalled by
the aviator.
A few minutes later the Pike, which
had dived under the surface In the up

STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or., Feb. 3.
(Special.) Multnomah County Is al
lowed seven Senators and 16 Represent
atives under the terms of a legislative
apportionment bill Introduced by Sena
tor Joseph today.
Multnomah Is also given a Joint Sen
ator with Columbia and Clackamas, but
no joint Representatives.
While having practically a third of tha
population and paying a third of the
taxes of the state, Multnomah, under
this bill, la awarded less than one-fourth
of the. whole number of Senators, but
practically one-third of the whole num
ber of Representatives.
Fight on Bill Is Due.
Heavy opposition is expected from tha
Marlon delegation, the second largest
In the state, as the bill drops one Rep
resentative from that county's quota,
there being five at present. Marion, la
left with the same number of Senators,
however.
Linn also loses one Representative.
Baker is given an additional member la
the lower house, while Washington loses
one. Some changes are also made In
Joint districts.
One District Abolished.
An interesting question arising from
the bill, should it pass, is the disposition
that would be made of C. A. Barrett, of
Union, Umatilla and Morrow. Under tha
new bill that joint district is abolished
and new divisions are created. It is th
opinion of some that the elimination of
the district will result In the elimination
of the office, which they contend de
