TRIUMPHANT REBEL

CHECKED
Villa's Communication Threat

WASHINGTON. Dec S. Mexican in
terest In 'Washington centered today
en the military operations. Confiden
tial reports indicate the victorious
southward march of the Constitution
alist armies has received a check, the
extent of which Is not yet known.
Whether the rebel leaders themselves
have taken alarm and are preparing
to modify their plans of campaign to
meet the threatening aspect of the
federal forces was, however, not posi
tively affirmed.
Owing to the absence of telegraphic
communication and to the reluctance
of the officers here to divulge any of
the movements of the ' contending
armies in Mexico which by any chance
might aid one or the other of the fac
tions unfairly. It is - not possible to
ascertain all of the phases of this last
military development, .....
Federals Tan Flankers.
It ts understood, however, the federal
leaders in the north who. after the sup
posed defeat sustained, by them in the
battle of Tlerra Blanca, were believed
to be returning northward in an effort
to find - refuge across the border in
Texas, actually had abandoned that
purpose. . Instead, it is reported they
have reorganised their forces and be
gun a flanking movement on the army
-which the rebel General Villa has
rushed from the captured city of Juares
toward Chihuahua,
Villa's line is much extended and his
communication would be placed in
Jeopardy by a sudden Incursion from
a formidable .force of 1500 Federals
commanded by Orozco, which is rap
Idly advancing toward him. apparently
-with the purpose of driving him into
Chihuahua.
Trap Briar Set at Ckihoaaaa,
Meanwhile at least two other Fed
eral generals, with fragments of the
army reassembled after the battle of
Tierra Blanca, are reported to be con
centrating on Chihuahua with' the pur
pose of entrapping Villa's command.
This movement might fail, it Is pointed
out. through the reinforcement ot
.Villa's command by Carranza troops.
If the Federal troops adhere to.Jheir
original plan of making .their .way
into the United States Instead of -surrendering
to the Constitutionalists they
will have to do so without conditions
and probably will not be permitted to
figure further in the present war in
Mexico. Secretary Garrison said today
thsse refugees might cross the line,
but they must do so without any un
dertaking on the part of the United
States officials to permit them to re
turn Into Mexico.

day from the Mexican territory of
TYpic, bringing the first authentic ac
count of the killing at Huajoorl, Tepic

Baker said that on the day Root was
killed- there 80 Mexican employes had
become drunk with a celebration of a
Constitutionalist victory. They coveted
Root's revolver- and sought his own
premises to attack him. One of the
celebrstors 'stabbed Root through the

ther knife wounds.
Then, taking . the murdered Brian's
revolver and waving-the knife which
had pierced' his heart, the Mexicans

Baker managed to evade them and after
remaining In- the neighborhood" long

was near the Teplc-SInaloa line, 25
miles from railroad. - -. . -

LEICESTER, England. Dec t. The
threatened strike at Christmas of the
government's 100.000 postal and tele

poned as a result of the action of a
conference today. In which 200 dele

Delegates pledged themselves to push

The conference deridea to oppose the
government candidates at all Parlia
mentary elections until the demands of

Postal employes base their demands
for an Increase of pay largely on the
argument that the postal service yields
to tio government great profits In
which the workers should have a larger

DR. ALICE SKELLY DIES
Woman Physician Well Known as
Athlete and Mountain Climber.
ST. PAUL, Dec . Dr. Alice Shepard
Kelly, 43 years old. dropped dead on
the street here today while hurrying
to the bedside of a patient.
Dr. Kelly was well known as an
athlete. She attracted attention in
Oregon In 112 by making, several
record mountain climbs.
WASHINGTON. Dec. . The Baker
bill, giving San Francisco water supply
and power rights In the Hotch-Hetchy
Valley, Yosemlte .National Park, passed
the Senate at 11:67 tonight by a vote
of 43 to 25. The bill had previously
passed the House In Identically the
same form and goes at once to the
President for signature.
Bitter feeling developed tonight In
the Senate when a parliamentary mis
understanding threatened to defeat the
final vote on the bill. Acting under
unanimous consent agreement to vote
on the "calendar day of December ."
Senators became confused as to wheth
er the vote would be prevented If the
debate continued until midnight.
Meyers Serves Xetlce.
Vice-President Marshall held the
calender would expire then, but re
fused to rule as to whether a vote
could be completed if begun, at that
time. Several Senators prevented ef
forts to get a supplementary agreement
for a vote at some specified time be
fore midnight.
"I serve notice, declared senator
Meyers. In charge of the bill, "that If
this vote Is defeated through any such
means, there never will be another
unanimous consent agreement so long
as 1 remain in the Senate."
The situation was relieved when Sen
ators - still to speak on the bill an
nounced they would shorten their re
marks and bring an early vote.
Senator Plttman. who made the chief
speech at the .night session In support
of the measure, withdrew in the midst
of his address In order to smooth the
way for a vote. He presented figures
to show the lietch-Hetchy water sup
ply was more than ample for the peeds
of San Francisco and all Irrigable
lands in San Joaquin Valley. He de
clared no other source or water supply
would meet the future demands of San
Francisco. Much of the opposition to
the Raker bill, he declared, was the
result of an "endless chain" method of
campaigning.
Virtually all municipalities of Cali
fornia favored the bill, he said, while
"99 per cent of these people who send
these protests have never been Inside
of the state of California,"
Peladexter Oppeaea Bill.
. Senator Polndexter, of Washington,
opposed the passage of the bill and
said other sources of supply wre open
to San Francisco. Senators Colt and
Gallinger In brief statements also op
posed lt Senator Clark, of Wyoming,
declared the bill should be amended so
It would simply give San Francisco the
right to the. water supply without con
ferring the other rights of ownership
and privilege contained in the Baker
bill. Unless these amendments were
made, he said, he would have to vote
against the bill.
Senator Norris. supporting the bill,
said he did not believe the beauties of
nature or the rights of irrlgatlonists
would be Infringed. He outlined the
expenditures he said San Francisco al
ready had made In connection with the
work. Senator Polndexter wanted to
know how the city had been forced to
spend money.
"I did not want to go Into that," re
plied Senator Norris, "because I have
no proof. But I have heard repeatedly
that San Francisco, under rulings of
ex-Secretary Balllnger, paid large sums
of money to corporations Influenced or
controlled by John Hays Hammond."
Cloalaa Seeaea Remarkable.
The passage of the bill three min
utes before the hour set tor the arbi
trary adjournment of the Senate was
attended with unusual scenes. Fearful
that the final vote would be defeated
by lack of time, Vice-President Mar
shall, the reading clerk and members
of the Senste themselves brought a
week of debate to an end In 1 min
utes of hurried voting. Party leaders
were divided In the final vote on the
bill.
The victory for San Francisco ends
a fight that has been waged in Con
gress for several years in which con
servationists and nature clubs took a
conspicuous part. The bill gives San
Francisco authority to erect a dam in
the Hejtch - Hetchy Valley creating a
storage reservoir, authority to flood
the necessary part of the valley floor,
to create electric power and sell It
under the local regulations of Califor
nia and to construct conduits and
canals through publlo lands where
necessary as part of the city's wster
supply system.
Provision is made to protect the
water rights of settlers on Irrigated
lands In the Turlock and Modesto Irri
gation districts In the San Joaquin
Valley and the city will be required to
construct roads in the park. Including
a scenic highway, to provide "sightly"
buildings and to furnish power at cost
to Irrigation users.
Opponents of the bill included those
who asserted the beauty of the valley
would be spoiled and that settlers on
Irrigated lands would be TJeprlved of
an adequate supply of water.
