Douglas, Aria.. April 19. Hundreds
of citizens of Douglas who rolled out

expecting to see Juan Cabral's force
of Insurrectos in full assault on the
town of Agua Prieta were doomed to
disappointment.
Cabral's force, which last night went
into camp In full view of the outskirts
of tha town, was nowhere to be seen.
A cloud of dust to the southward indi
cated that he had learned of the direc
tion taken by General Qarclas retreat
ing band and had set out to Join them.
No attempt was made by the fed
erals to overtake Cabral, although it
was reported that during the night a
large acouting party of federals had
circled clear around the Insurrectos'
camp to determine its exact strength.
Couriers arriving here from Fron

main body of General Oarcla'a rebels

In the I'nlted states district court here
today, when- counsel for the government
at the conclusion of the Introduction of
its vidence moved dismissal of the
case. The reason assigned for the un
expected action was the ruling of Judge
Rasch, of the Montana district, who was
presiding, prohibiting the introduction
of evidence concerning transactlona pri

the Indictments. It was for the same
reason that the government abandoned
Ita case against William F. Kettenbach,
who was Jointly indicted with his uncle,
Frank W. Kettenbach,
The action of the government counsel
came as a complete surprise to the de
fendant and his attorneys, who had
asked for a recess In which to prepare
for their opening statement to the Jury.
No motion for dismissal was made by
the defense. There are still three in
dictments pending against Kettenbach
but- by agreement these cases went
over to the June term of court.

New York. April 18. Big financial
men who observed the way In which
George Gould "came back" and defeated
all opposition In the naming of B. F.
Bush as president of the Missouri Pa
cific, are united today in the opinion
that one of the biggest railroad wars
the country has seen Is impending as
the result of the Kuhn-Loeb defeat.
The war, it Is believed".' will affect
all of the Gould and Harriman lines.
Gould's direct charge that Kulin, Loeb
& Co. were too closely associated with
the Harriman lines sums up the sltua
tion. The Kuhn-Loeb people wished to
banish all railroad competition from the
southwest, and put forward David R.
Francis, former governor of Missouri,
as the man to accomplish their object
Wants Seal System.
Gould insisted that Bush be elected
and that he be authorized to make the
Missouri Pacific a real system not a
tag to the Harriman lines.
Today it is still unknown whether
Rockefeller will Join with Kuhn, Loeb A
Co. in fighting Gould, but no doubt is
entertained that wnether he does or not
the railroad world is going to see one of
the most bitter buttles of recent yesrs.
Following the flection of Bubo yes
terday came the withdrawal of Kuhn,
Loeb & Co. as bankers for the Missouri
Pacific, the resignation of Paul M. War

the board, and the renlgnatlon of Cor-

(Continued on Page Two.)
The agitation stirred by the Munloi
pal ''association, together with the
threatened attempt by the organization
to obtain the recall of District Attorney
Cameron, was followed today by the
summoning of D. A. Pattullo, president
of the association, to the grand Jury
room. He was examined for more than
an hour.
In addition a subpoena was Issued for
G. E. Kellogg, detective for the asso
ciation, who gathered most of the evi
dence used In framing the indictments
against a number of resorts during the
winter. Kellogg will appear before the
inquisitorial body this afternoon, if he
can be found in time. "Paddy"1 Maher,
who also declares that he has evidence
of great Importance, has been called.
Brideace Hearsay.
Pattullo this morning gave to the
grand Jury all the information which
he said he had at his command. There
were no definite results, however, as he
admitted that his evidence was hearsay
and while, believing impllolty in the
truth of the supposed facts he was pre
senting he could not positively swear
as to their veracity.
Pattullo gave to the grand Jury names
and addresses of alleged resorts. He
"ould not .give any definite Information
concerning the graft which it has been
charged existed. In answer to many of
the queries he referred the Jurors to
Kellogg.
The failure of the majority of the
cases, in which Indictments were re
turned during the ftrst grand Jury vice
I'nlted fUulo.s Judge C. K. Wolverton
will decide the famous Qregon A Cali
fornia land Krant case next Monday
morning. Anouriceemnt to that effect
wan made from the bench today for the
benefit of the attorneys representing
the government and tha railroad.
This suit is probably the most Import
ant land litigation ever begun in the
United States and Is an effort on the
part of the United States to recover
from the Oregon & California railroad
now the Southern Pacific system 2,
600,000 acres of timber, fruit and agri
cultural land in western Oregon. The
government's suit alleged this land to
be worth $40,000,000, but B..D. Towns
end, special assistant to the attorney
general, stated today tha actual value
is nearer $76,000,000.
The land was given the railroad by
congressional grant with the provision
that it be sold in small quantities to
settlers for not more than $2.60 an
acre. It is for the violation of the terms
of what the government alleges was
its contract with the railroad that it la
suing to have the title to the land re
stored to the people

able to prove that to open the drawa

work would now choke the streets With
t raffia Need for closed periods is
more imperative than ever before. It
will be shown. At the time the regu
lations were first announced, last
August, street cars were being held up
for 10 to $0 minutes while a boat
with a sand scow passed through. The
cars would be loaded with home-hurry-lng
people; wagons, automobilea and -pedestrians
would contest for room on
the streets and approaches of the
bridges. The regulation of the draws
relieved this condition. . . .

"FREE UST" BILL

In Reporting on Measure Com

Creates Trust.

(I'ntted Pre LeMed Wire.)
Washington, April 19. Attacking- the
Republican theory of a protective tariff
which it declares had resulted in tha
building up of trusts and monopolies,
the Democratic ways and means com
mittee today presented to the house Its
farmers' free list bill. The measure
was accompanied by a voluminous report.
The committee's report attacked, the ;
harvester, beef, lumber and sewing- ma
chine trusts and charged that the Re ¬
publican policy, which created, them,
was responsible for the Increased cost
of living. The committee declared the
bill would cut off $10,000,000 revenue,
but would be of great benefit t tha
peofcle. ,
Referring to President Taft's state- -
ment that the tariff Is too high.', tha
committee's declaration said:
"This is a confession, as was the Re "
publican platform of 1908, that the
theory of protection by duties has
broken down; that the combinations and
trusts which prey on the people were
fostered by the tariff, and that under
high protection the American manufac
turers have farced unreasonable profits
from the people."
