Progressive conference last week he
made known his discoveries, and as
sured the New' York members of his
party who remain that if the Progres
sives can dominate New York they will
have a splendid chance of controlling
the Nation.
After delivering a glowing talk on
Progressive prospects. Mr. Murdock,
who is supposed to be close to Colonel
Roosevelt, told the New York Pro
gressive that the Colonel was not "in
clined to make another sacrifice" by
being the Progressive candidate for
President in 1916. He added, how
ever, that if the Progressive party had
a chance to win, the Colonel would
head the slate.
Murdock's New York address was no
more inconsistent than most of his
political speeches since his late con
version. He as good as told the New
Yorkers that while he himself pro
fessed to believe his party had a chance
to win in 1916, Colonel Koosevelt felt
otherwise. '

Washington, sept. 25. Major-Gen-
eral Funstonj commanding United
J fctates troops on the border, and Gen-
cral Nafarratte, the Carranza. com
;t mander, both disclaim for their men
II responsibility for the fighting yester
day near Progreso, Tex., in which one
American trooper who killed and an
officer was wounaea. Reporting to the
"War Department today. General Fun
ston said his men had repelled the
raiding party which fled across the
border under the protection of soldiers
"in uniform" intrenched on the other
side. The Carranza agency gave out
a telegram from General Nafarratte,
asserting there were no Carranza
troops in the vicinity.
A full report on recent fighting along
the border was made to the State De
partment today by the War Depart
ment. It says that in no case have
American soldiers begun the firing, but
it is admitted that civilians and Deputy
Sheriffs in Texas have provoked some
attacks.
American Territory Invaded.
In yesterday's fight it is asserted
an armed force invaded American ter
ritory and that this party was re
pulsed. Officials here are frankly puzzled
over the border situation. General
Carranza has directed General Jacinto
Trevino to make a thorough investiga
tion. Until authentic information is
obtained as to the cause of the raids,
the policy of the American Government
will be unchanged, and, while raiders
will be driven off, American troops will
not be permitted to cross into Mexico
In pursuit.
The State Department . was advised
that representations made to General
Carranza had resulted in orders de
signed to prevent a repetition of the
seizure of cattle belonging to American
citizens,
"The Department was recently in
formed." says an announcement, "that
Carranzistas had seized cattle belong
Ing to citizens on the railroad between
San Luis Potosi and Tampico. Repre
sent&tions were made to General Car
ranza and the authorities at Vera Cruz
have issued a statement to the effect
that orders have been given to prevent
these depredations."
Americana Reach I -1 Paso.
A dispatch from El Paso announced
the arrival of 150 Americans from Tor-
reon. Durango and Chihuahua. A tele
gram dated yesterday from Eagle Pass
said the situation in Pledras Negras
district was quiet and rail communica
tion to Saltillo and Monterey open by
transferring around a burned bridge.
Explaining the visit of General Felipe
Angeles to Washington, tne villa
agency issued this statement tonight:
"General Felipe Angeles wishes to
state that he has arrived in Washing

pointed by the military chiefs of the
provisional government to represent it

remain until such time as we could

an attack by Mexicans on his 7000-acre
ranch in Hidalgo County, 30 muee norin
of Mission, yesterday, were given out
today by J. B. McAUen. millionaire and
pioneer, who, single handed, beat off
the Mexicans after killing two of their
number and wounding three more.
The fight on the Mc Allen rancn con
tinued 20 minutes, during wnicn ume
the bandits fired not fewer than 500
shots, while McAllen did not lire more
than 20.
'With the exception of my cook, a
Mexican woman, I was alone, saia -.ir.
McAllen. "I had just sat down to din
ner when I saw a Mexican peering
through a blind, and I knew I was
surrounded.
Leaders and Companion Killed.
"The bandit leader was mounted on a
gray horse. He called my cook to tne
door and asked my whereabouts. The
remainder of the band had dismounted
and taken up positions behind a pile
of rocks and a small stone outhouse.
"My cook answered that I was ill m
bed, whereupon the leader aemanaea
my presence before him. i picked up
mv shotgun, stepped into the doorway
and fired. The leader tumbled off his
horse at the first shot. His horse fell
at the second. I then turned my at
tention to another man, bolder than
the rest, and had the satisfaction of
seeing part of his head go off.
House Riddled With Bullet.
'Three otUers, who had failed to con
ceal their legs behind the rockpile, re
ceived my further attention, finally
they dragged themselves to the. brush
and escaped. Then the others followed
them. Shots fairly rained about me
during the encounter, but both my cook
and I escaped injury. The house was
riddled with bullets.
"My cook, though frightened, re
mained steadfast, reloading my shotgun
and rifle as fast as I emptied them.
From the leader of the band was
taken a paper containing the names of
15 Mexicans, many of whom are well
known around Mission.
EL PASO. Tex.. Sept. 25. After being
held hostage for about 18 months. Luis
Terrazas. Jr.. son of General Luis Ter
razas. together with his boii, Guillermo
Terrazas, have escaped from Chihuahua
City and are en route to the border
overland, according to official Villa ad
vices today. Three guards at the
Chihuahua jail are reported to have been
hot on suspicion of complicity In the
escape.
After the migration of the Terrazas
family to the United States, abandoning
their ranch, which included vast areas

Jr., was caught and held hostage for
the political inactivity of the family in
the United States and for a ransom of
$500,000, demanded of General Luis
Terrazas on a threat to kill his son.
It is understood that part of the ran
som was paid, but the prisoner was not
released. Subsequent ransoms were de
manded and compromised, but the pris
oner had only the liberty of the city
under guard. It is eaid that nearly
$1,000,000 was paid for the promised
release of Luis without moving him
nearer the .border.
Guillermo Terrazas was held merely
as a member of the Terrazas ramlly.

New and Profitable Industry
Forced on Echo Kolks.
Is
ECHO, Or., Sept. 25. (Special. ) A
number of Echo gardners have been
forced to try an experiment which has
proved successful and may be the
means of another industry li this part
of the state.
The past Spring many tomatoes were
planted which have yielded so prolifi
cally that it was impossible to find
a market for all of them. Accordingly,
a number of gardeners ordered small
canning outfits, which, properly pre
pare their capacity in cans every 15
minutes-under a five-pound steam pres
sure. The canning outfits are taken direct
to the gardens and the tomatoes
canned there, the principal expense be
ing the cost of the empty cans. On
comparison the product is found equal
to the best on the market, ready salej
is found for it as fast as canned and
the season is still far from being closed.
What is being done with tomatoes
may be done with all the surplus
fruit and vegetables which, grow here
in great abundance.

A Never Failing Way
to Banish Ugly Hairs
No woman is immune to superfluous
growths, and because these are likely
to appear at any time, it is advisable
to always have some demosant powder
handy to use when the occasion arises.
A paste is made with some of the pow
der and water and spread upon the
liairv surface; In about 2 minutes thia
is carefully removed and the skin
washed. You will then find that your
skin is entirely free from hair or fuzz.
Demosant is very inexpensive. For
twenty-five cents one can obtain from
anv druggist or by mail in plain wrap
per from the Esbencott Laboratories,
Use Cocoanut Oil
for Washing Hair
If j'ou want to keep your hair in good
condition, the less soap you use the
better.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is
very harmfull. Just plain mulsified
cocoanut oil (which is pure and en
tirely greaseless) is much better than
soap or anything else you can use for
shampooing, as this can't possibly in
jure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls
will make an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, and cleanses the hair
and scalp thoroughly. The lather rinses
out easily, and removes every particle
of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive
oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly,
and It leaves it fine and silky, bright,
fluffy and easy to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at
most any drug store. It is very cheap,
and a few ounces is enough to last
everyone in the family for months.
