DOUGLAS. Arizona, Sept. 25, ranza forces under General Benjamin Hill were routed today by the troops of Governor Maytorena in the first en gagement of the new revolution pro claimed by the State of Sonora in con nection with General Villa's defiance of Carranza. Hill's loss is indefinite, Fighting began early today near Banta Barbara and continued through out the retreat toward Santa Cruz, which Hill ordered when he found his troops outnumbered. A concentration of the Carranza forces. Including all garrisons in North ern Sonora which answer Hill's general order for their aid, is ordered for Naco, where it is expected the definite test of strength will come. Hill is playing for time until General Iturbe arrives with, reinforcements from Sinaloa. Bridges Are Burned. Hill's wounded were first taken to Cananea. his headquarters, but tonight arrived at Naco along with Cananea refugees. Supplies and munitions are reported on the way, and, as the troops are withdrawn from the west, the rail road bridges are reported- burning. Maytorena's forces are said to be fol lowing closely, but the reported de struction of the railroad bridges along the line of Hill's retreat is hoped by Hill to give him time to intrench at Naco and to reorganize his army. It is known that the Agua Frleta garrison has responded to his calL The first contingent of wounded numbered 29, among whom were Colonel Arnulfo Gomez, second in command, and Captain Abad. Hundred Prisoners Taken.

One hundred prisoners were cap tured, together with a large quantity of ammunition and supplies. AMERICAN" TROOPS MAY STAY Washington Still Has Hopes of 3fe diation In Mexico. WASHINGTON, Sept. 25. American forces will remain in. Vera Cruz until the question or authority as between General Carranza and General Villa is settled. This was the consensus of opinion of Administration officials to night, although no definite announce ment of the intention of the Washing ton Government was made. Secretary Garrison telegraphed Gen eral Funston at Vera Cruz not to load any necessary baggage or supplies aboard the transports, informing him at the same time that the Americans would not be withdrawn "for at least 10 days," until certain administrative questions concerning the transfer of funds at the customs-house could be adjusted through diplomatic channels, Department Issues Statement. Later the following formal statement was Issued by the War Department: "Numerous inquiries were made here and of General Funston with respect to ine date or the departure of the Ami- ican iroops irom vera (Jruz. In view of the matters which must be first settled, no date can at present be fixed. but in no event can the departure take place within the next 10 days, and Ueneral Funston was so advised." Inasmuch as telegraphic communica tion with Mexico City is irregular. State Department . officials did not know when they could reach a satisfactory unaerstandlng wtih the Carranza gov ernment Negotiations have proceed ed to the point of requesting Carranza to designate orriciais to whom the cu tom-house might be transferred. The possibility that General Villa might ob ject to the American Government's construction of the Carranza authority as the central government in Mexico' is being considered by officials, and in dications are that the big sum of money collected for customs by the American officers will not be delivered to any juexican faction until there is definitely established government in the southern republic. Agreement Is Still Hope. -a-amimstration oriicials think an agreement between villa and Carranza may be effected through the mediation of the Mexican leaders, though they have no reports to this effect, and base their beliefs on what the two men al ready have been told of the unfavor able attitude of the United States toward further bloodshed In Mexico. The anxiety of prominent constitu tionalists In Mexico City to mediate the dispute is regarded as a hopeful sign here, just as was General Carranza's declaration that he would not attack Villa, but would order his forces merely to aeiena themselves. Inasmuch as General Villa's chief objection to the present government in Mexico City is the fact that General Carranza Is Its executive, a basis for compromise Is thought likely among of-icials and many Mexicans, because it is known that Gene, al Carranza in tended shortly to retire in favor of a Provisional President acceptable to all factions. Some observers are disposed to think that General Villa's threats of a revolt are designed more as a show of force, either to prevent Carranza from plac ing In power as Provisional President one of his supporters or to diminish Carranza's chances of being chosen President In the general election. Serious Clash Xot Indicated. While consular reports showed the Southern republic to be trembling in fear of another revolution, nothing was received to indicate that a physical clash of any Importance was imminent. President Wilson is absolutely neu Fral as between the two factions, and Is en deavoring to have consular agents res train from involving the American Gov ernment on the side of either Villa or Carranza. Whatever efforts the con sular agents may make will be in the direction of aiding the two chiefs or their representatives to reach an un derstanding. ROADS HOT RIVALS, LOVETT DECLARES More Competition Held Likely if Southern Pacific Did Not Rule Central Line. COURT EXAMINES RECORDS Dealings of Defendant Railroad Company With Banks Are Shown. Union Pacific Not Aided by Former Connection. NEW YORK, Sept. 25. If the South ern Pacific Company did not control the Central Pacific Railway, there would be more competition than there is now in the opinion of Judge Robert S. Lovett, chairman of the executive committee of tne Union Pacific Rail way, and formerly head of the entire Harriman system. Juage Lovett s statement to this erfect was in reply to questioning by James W. Orr, of counsel for the Government, at the hearing today in the Federal suit to cause the Southern Pacific to give up control of the Central Pacific. "The Southern Pacific owns the Cen tral Pacific Railway stock," testified the witness. 1 "Does the Southern Pacific control the operation of the Central Pacific lines?" he was asked. "Yes. It operates them." "Is there much competition between the Southern Pacific and the Union Pacific to California?" Union Pacific Competes. "There is as far as the Union Pacific goes but there is no competition be tween Ogden and California over the Central Pacific lines, because this road Is owned and operated by the southern Pacific Company." "If the Southern Pacific did not con trol the Central Pacific, would there be more competition than there is now?" "I think there would," replied Judge Lovett. "Would the Central Pacific then give better service?" "That is hard to say because there is no competition now, and what would happen if there was competition is a matter which would have to be found out later." Virtually all of the New York-Call fornia traffic is solicited by the South ern Pacific line3, the witness testified. He said he knew of no case when the Southern Pacific solicitors aided the Union Pacific in getting traffic through the Ogden gateway. Bank Books Enter Case. Much of the session was taken up with questions regarding records. Books of Speyer & Co., bankers, show ing, the dealings of the Southern Pa cific with the banking company were examined. From Oscar L. Coles, of the Central Trust Company, Federal coun sel drew the statement that stock cer tificates of the Central Pacific Rail way were deposited with Speyer & Co. and later re-deposlted with the Central Trust Company. A record of these cer tlficates was made for the court. A. C. McDonald, vice-president and controller of the Southern Pacific sys tern, was questioned closely as to th6 whereabouts of the record books of the company, and told what books and ac counts were destroyed in the San Fran Cisco earthquake and fire. Arthur A. Topper, of the Interstate Commerce Commission, presented reports of the rates charged by the different rail roads. ..run miuu : ' !P? - : : -saw I ' r - ps-jr ' At' Photos by Bain News Service.

Fear Is Expressed Country Would Think Him Vote-Seeker, Is Ac tion Taken Now. WASHINGTON, Sept. 25. At the di rection of President Wilson, Secretary Tumulty today wrote a letter to New Jersey Democrats declining to have them indorse the President for a second term. Tumulty's letter was to Edward E. Grosscup, State Treasurer of New Jersey. It follows: "You were generous enough to con sult me as to whether the Democrats of New Jersey should at this time Indorse the President for a second term. I had a talk with the President about it and he deeply appreciates the generosity of the suggestion, but New Jersey is his home state, the men who would act in this matter are his own personal friends, and he feels that it might seem as if he were taking advantage of the extraordinary situation now existing to gain some personal advance through such an expression of confidence by them. "This would be inconsistent with his whole thought and spirit, and he shrinks from it as from something that would embarrass him, rather than help him. "He feels confident that you will know -the spirit in which he says this; that in urging the Democrats of New Jersey not to do this be is not abating in the least his deep appreciation." The New Jersey Democratic conven tion is to be held next Tuesday, and Democratic leaders here say it was ready to indorse the President for an other term. Before Mr. Tumulty's let ter to Mr Grosscup was written Na tional Democratic leaders were con sulted. It was understood that the President took the position that If the New Jersey Democrats Indorsed him for another term the country might think his candidacy had been formally launched and would think that all his future acts were designed to gain votes, ane president Is said to be op posed to creating such a situation.

DEFENSE IS CONSIDERED Appeal for Improvement of Upper Hudson Also Is Made Before At lantic Deep Waterways Asso ciation by Governor Glynn. ALBANY, N. T.. Sept. 25. What the proposed great inland waterway from Massachusetts Bay to the Rio Grande would mean to the Nation in time of war was discussed today by Secretary Daniels of the Navy Department, be fore the convention of the Atlantic Deep Waterways Association. "Not only will this waterway lend itself tremendously to the development of internal commerce and tend to bring down . the rates of transportation," said Mr. Daniels, "but it also provides unusual facilities for self-defense in time of war. Naval Advantage Dlacaaaed. "In any conflict between nations which have navies, the all-important consideration Is to secure, if possible, immediate control of the sea, and the power which possesses the superior navy Is usually able to do this. In such case the navy of the weaker pow er takes refuge in some deep and well defended harbor where It seeks to wear out its enemy by fighting It in detachments. If this weaker power, having thus taken refuge In a safe harbor, can maneuver its ships through Inland channels to other exits, it en joys a great advantage." The principal appeal for the deepen ing of the upper Hudson was made by Governor Glynn. Xorthwnt Outlet Wanted. "The improvement of the Hudson is no local enterprise," he said, "for with the barge canal it links the great lakes with the ocean and produces a contin uous waterway from the vast wheat centers of the Northwest to New York City and the markets of the world. Every dollar expended upon the Hud son will be returned to the people of the state many times, but in the long run It will mean a hundred-fold return to the farmers and manufacturers of the mighty West, who for half a cen tury have prayed for a water outlet to the sea." . The convention adopted resolutions "deploring the opposition to the im provement of our harbors and water ways manifested' In the Congress of the United States during the present session."
