That He Stop Fighting That He

Independent Faction.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 18. General
Francisco Villa, commander-in-chief of
the forces controlled by the convention
in session at Mexico City, was due to
reach the capital tonight to assist Colo
nel Koque Gonzales Garza, selected by
the convention as temporary executive
to succeed General Eulalio Gutierrez.
Advices to this effect reached the
State Department today, together with
the Information that, while the capital
was "well protected and policed." there
had been some executions for disorders
and the populace was uneasy over the
general situation.
The reasons for the departure of Gu
tierrez have not yet been explained to
the State Department, and the belief
prevails that, with the 5000 troops ac
companying him from Mexico City and
Generals Blanco and Robles, he is en
deavoring either to Join General Obre
gon and the Carranza element, or in
tends to set up an independent faction,
riot Revealed by. Letters.
Light was thrown on the conduct of
Gutierrez tonight by the receipt here
from Vera Cruz of the copies of letters
said to have been exchanged between
General Gutierrez and Generals Obre
gon and Candldo Aguilar. dated Janu
ary 7, approximately the time when
Gutierrez announced to the convention
that he was working on plans for the
pacification of Mexico. Briefly, his plan
was said to be to unite with Generals
Obregon and Aguilar in deposing Gen
eral Villa from control of the conven
tion forces. Eliseo Arredondo, head of
the Carranza agency here, made public
the text of the correspondence. The
letter purporting to have been signed
by General Gutierrez follows:
"Generals Alvaro Obregon and Can

War; Lucio Blanco. Minister of the In

"For your Information I must tell

from the states of Tamaulipas, Coahuila,

AH Railway Labor Matters Can Be
Settled in One Office Now, De
clares Samuel Untermyer,
Who Charges TJnfairness.
NEW TORS, Jan. 18.- Samuel Unter
myer, of New Tork, who was counsel
to the Pujo Congressional committee
which Investigated the so-called money
trust, and Roger W. Babson, of Wel
lesley Hills, Mass., statistician, were
the two witnesses who testifled today
at the opening session of the Federal
Industrial Relations Commission into
the country's great philanthropic or
ganliAtions, namely, the Rockefeller,
Carnegie, Sage, Cleveland (O.) and
Baron de Hirsch foundations.
Mr. Untermyer contended that, while
philanthropic foundations were ably
managed and administered, the laws
governing them should be revised. He
advocated Federal charters, a limita
tion as to size, representation by Fed
eral trustees when the present trustees
begin to ' retire, and a prohibition
against the accumulation of income.
' Absentee Control Assailed.
Both witnesses assailed the "absentee
control'" exercised over many of the
country's leading Industries as being
not only unfair to the workers, but
unusually contrary to good business
practice.
Mr. Untermyer also asserted that, in
his opinion, the "illicit gathering of
money" in certain quarters had been
the -direct cause of-much poverty, and,
that nearly all the railroads and other
great corporations were under the com
plete control of the banking Interests,
which had reorganized them after they
had become insolvent. The situation
had narrowed down in railroad mat
ters, he asserted, until all questions
regarding labor conditions in connec
tion with their operation could be de
cided in one office. The concentration
of power and capital was grossly un
fair to labor, he said.
Remedies Are Proposed.
The witness then proposed that there
should be established Federal labor ex
changes, similar to those which existed
in Germany before the war; compulsory
state-regulated insurance against sick
ness and accident, and the enactment
of a law. doing away with the voting of
proxies on stock and making it neces
sary for the stockholders themselves
to vote, either in person or by mail.
The witness went into a discussion
of life insurance companies. There is

ONE OF CREW IS WOUNDED
Captain Henderson and Men Pick
tp 20 Injured Sailors of Russian
Cruiser Destroyed . by Guns
of German Vessel.
ASTORIA, Or., Jan. -IS. (Special.)
Bearing several -Jislble marks of her
encounter with the German cruiser
Emden the"British steamer Cranley ar
rived this morning 19 days from MoJl,
Japan. She will load the supplies do
nated by the people of Oregon for the
relief of the starving Belgians.
Captain Alex Henderson, her master,
brings a thrilling story of his one
sided battle with the Emden and that
the Cranley escap.d destruction is lit
tle less than a mlrt-cle.
The event occurred at the port oi
Penang. Straits of Malay, where the
steamer was lying at anchor, with some
French and Russian cruisers and tor
pedo boats. One morning, just at dawn,
the Emden. which had been disguised
by the addition of a "fake" funnel so
as to resemble a British vessel, steamed
into port and circling within a hun
dred yards of the Cranley, which was
flying naval transport flag No. S, fired
two broadsides at her.
Shot Bounces Around In Ship.
One shot went through the steamer's
galley, while another pierced her hull
about four feet above the waterline. It
passed through 15 feet of coal, rico
chetted up through the deck and pilot
i .r, then, turning downward
again.' pierced the deck and went ouU
the other side of the vessel. mier n
was necessary to put seven new
plates in the steamer's hull to repair
the damage done by that one shot. The
craft was also hit in several places by
pieces of shrapnel, but none of them
did any serious damage. The Cranley's
second engineer was struck on the arm,
shoulder and in the side by pieecs of
shrapnel and was seriously hurt, but
has recovered.
After attacking the Cranley, the Em.
den began firing on a Russian cruiser,
whose crew was apparently asleep, and
soon destroyed it. although it made
some resistance.
Cranley Picks Vp Sailors.
Captain Henderson and his crew
picked up 22 Russian sailors. 20 of
whom had been injured during the at
tack. The Emden then crossed out to
sea and escaped, as none of the fleet
of war vessels in the harbor were pre
pared for action and none of the cruis
ers were speedy enough to overtake
the "Flying Dutchman."
It appears that the Emden passed be-

VANE AT WASHINGTON.
uAKnbU Monday's War Moves
CHARACTERISTIC fighting Is going
on in Northern France, where the
village of La Bolsselle, 20 miles to the
northeast of Amiens, was taken from
the French by the Germans and latert
recaptured by the French. At this
point there has been much work with
the bayonet.
A French ammunition depot blew up
and part of the village was destroyed
by fire. The Germans, taking advan
tage of this Incident, attacked the
French with the steel and drove them
to positions beyond. In a fierce coun
ter attack some hours later the French
recaptured the position.
The omission from the German offi
cial report of any reference to 8oissons,
the scene of the recent marked Ger
man success, and the French state
ment that there has been no change in
that region, leads to the belief that
a renewal of the violent struggle there
is impending, the temporary quiet be
ing due to the fact that neither side
cares to risk an offensive in the pres
ent ctrcumtances.
At widely separated points elsewhere
on the western front there have been
engagements, but the weather again Is
playing an Important part. The) storm
in Belgium prevents operations, except
artillery duels, and snow In the Vos
ges, at the other extremity of the line,
makes attacks' exceedingly difficult.
In the Argonne, however, fighting is
almost continuous and each side as
serts minor successes. For the time
being the Germans seem to be more on
the offensive than the defensive.
The German reports of all the east
ern operations are brief, but those of
the Russians are more in detail, and
it is believed the Russians again, are
menacing East Prussia and Posen.
The Turks, according to reports, have
been dealt another staggering blow
after their determined stand in the
snow at Kara Urgan in the Caucasus.
They are fighting rearguard actions,
but are being pressed back toward
Erzerum in great disorder.
The Turkish garrison at Adrlanople,
the partial withdrawal of which was
previously reported, has withdrawn
completely, according to an Athens dis
patch, which gives no explanation.
The London papers print a forecast
appearing in the Paris Figaro that
Greece. Bulgaria and Roumania will
join the allies, but there is nothing
more definite relative to this turn of
affairs than there was a fortnight ago.
A French eye witness, with official
authority, gives some Idea of the na.
ture of the lighting which has been go
ing on in the west.. He describes the
fighting near Soissons ten days ago as
resulting favorably for the allies, but
later the waters of theuAJsne. swollen
by the heavy storms, came over the
banks, washing bridges away and pre
vented the allies from sending rein
forcements to points where the French
troops were being hard pressed by the
Germans.
This resulted in a retirement of some
thing like a mile and the establishment
of a strong front in a good strategic
position on the right bank of the Yser.
The long awaited decisive action in
Russian Poland has not yet developed,
probably on account of the unfavor
able weather conditions which havs
prevailed for some weeks, but the
Russian statements tell of small en
gagements at certain points along ths
trenches which indicate preparedness
on both sides to take advantage of any
opening that offers.
In Gallcia the Austrians have suc
ceeded to the east of Zakliczyn in
forcing the Russians to evacuate their
trenches for several miles.
The Prussian losses in the war, as
disclosed in a list, according to a
Vienna dispatch, number 877.107. The
Austrian losses, not including those
of the last two months, according to
the 1 same authority, number nearly
284.000 in killed, wounded and
prisoners.
Great Britain has promulgated regu
lations for the conservation of British
capital. Issues of capital or participa
tion in issues for undertakings outside
the empire are prohibited. It Is ex
plained that '"all considerations must be
subordinated to the paramount neces
sity of husbanding the financial re
sources of the country, with a view to
the successful prosecution of the war."
GIRL, SCOLDED, KILLS SELF
Fifteen-Year-Old Shoots Herself la
Presence of Family.
WOODLAND, Wash., -Jan. 18. (Spe
cial.) Loja Beaver, the 16-year-old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Beaver,
of Cougar, committed suicide Saturday
night by firing a revolver bullet into
her heart.
The family had been attending a
meeting of the Cougar Literary Club,
near the home pf the Beavers, about
30 miles up Lewis River. Mrs. Beaver
found it seemingly necessary to reprove
the girl before the assembled crowd,
whereupon the girl left the schoolhouse
in which the meeting was being held,
went home, procured, revolver and
met the family on her way back to the
meeting. As she reached them she
placed the muzzle over her heart, fired
and fell dead in their presence.

Bill freakish enough to cause laughter.
In point of number the bills are well

One of the Important bills to come

Is the Presldont of the Senate. W. Lelr
Thompson, but It is known that he has

Chief among Its provisions are
abolishment of the county Judgshlpa,
creation of a court of appeals, aband
onment of the fixed Jury-term system
and the establishment of several new
circuit Judgeships so that long periods
between court terms in the remote
counties will be avoided.
Kxpease No Entailed.
One attractive feature of the bill l(
the fact that all this is to be accom
plished without actual additional ex
pense to the taxpayer. The existing
County Judges are to become County
Commissioners and draw the per diem
fixed for such officials. Eleven new
Circuit Judgeships are created, but It Is
figured that the saving In the salaries
of County Judges will more than offset
the additional cost of tho new Circuit
Courts.
The Circuit Court of Appeals newly
created by the proposed law Is to con

No. 1 is to hear cases appealed front
