said, regarding his dissent from the

A wall of flame a mile wide engaged
the labors of the men all afternoon
yesterday and all night, and after
burning over an area of several square
miles, principally logged off lands, the
fire was brought under control this
morning. No homes were destroyed.

(United Preaa Leased Wire.)
San Francisco, May 23. Charging
that Patrick Calhoun, former president
of the United Raljroads, appropriated
more than (1,000.000 of the company's
money with which to finance private
enterprises, and characterizing the
transaction as a "loot and fraud upon
the public and upon the bond and note
holders of the company," the state rail- i
road commission today handed down
a sensational decision scoring Calhoun
and the directors who acquiesced In the
transaction In scathing terms.
The revelation was made following
investigation in connection with the
application of the" company to borrow
money with which to buy new cars.
The Investigation showed that the
company should have had money avail
able for this purpose.
That the company's chance of regain
ing the money taken by Calhoun Is
practically nil is shown by the fact
that President Jesse Lilienthal. succes
sor to Calhoun as president of the
United Railroads, forced Calhoun to
execute a promissory note for $1,096,-

and then proceeded to list It on the
books at a value of $1.

Rancher's Wife Gives Dead

(Tolted Preta Loaaed Wire.)
Ixis Angeles, Cal., May 23. Doctors
are waging a desperate fight today
to save 4 -year-old Margaret Brown and
her baby sister, Dorothy, 10 months
old, whose mother, Mrs. H. H. Brown,
poisoned them because she feared they
would grow up to a life of toil such
as she has lived. The babies each
had a fighting chanoe for life today.
At the county jail, where Mrs.
Brown was brought from her ranch
home in the Antelope valley, the wom
an confessed, according to the officers,
that she mixed rat poison with cocoa
she prepared for Margaret's breakfast.
After the little girl had drunk her cup.
the baby was given its share in a nurs
ing bottle. The rat poison Idea, the
woman said, occurred to her when she
witnessed the easy death of a puppy
which had taken a solution prepared
for rats.
"After I gave the babies their poi
son." the officers say Mrs.- Brown
explained. "I mixed some for myself,
and sat down with the children in my
arms to await the end. After they had
died I intended to drink it and follow
them; but my husband came home and
took them away to the doctor."
Brown said that he found his wife
holding tha children and crooning soft
ly. Both the little ones were uncon
scious. He said that Mrs. Brown had
acted queerly for several months. He
believes she was temporarily-deranged.
The woman told the officers that
she toiled early and late on her hus
band's ranch, and could stand it no
longer when he brought his sister and
her six children to the ranch yesterday
for a long visit.

This was considered as indicating
real prpgress. The mediators have
held their "conversations" heretofore
with the two groups of envoys separ
ately. Had not at least tentative un
derstanding been reached, it was said
they would not have been called to
gether for a Joint session. '
Under the rules adopted full con
ferences were to be held only upon
the envoys' request for an opportunity
to express their views, for the presen
tation of a basis of settlement or for
tae acceptance "'or rejection of such a
proposition.
The announcement followed confer

with the Mexican, and then with the
American envoys.
The Mexican envoys to the "A. B. CH

ment this afternoon, denying that the
federals had evacuated Saltlllo.
It developed that It was the Mex
icans who asked this evening's full
conference. It was supposed they had
a proposition to make, but its nature
was unknown. ?
Indicating that they expected pro

that he as an officer of the company

Federals Bum Buildings Upon

(rnlted Pr Leaaed Wire.)
Saltlllo. May 23. The constitution
alists were in full possession of Sal
tlllo today. There was some skirmish
ing even after the federals' .main body
evacuated the city, but today it was all
over. General Pablo Robles, of -General
Villa's force, occupied the central
plaza at noon Friday.
Before leaving, the federals dynamit
ed and burned casino, theatre, cathe
dral and most Important business and
public buildings. They left behind
them, however, quantities of artillery,
ammunition and other military sup
plier, which the rebels seised at our.
They were badly needed for the contin
uation of the constitutionalist cam
paign. As soon as he knew that the federals
were in retreat General Villa dispatched
a detachment in pursuit of those who
fled on foot. He had not the rolling
stock to chase the troop trains, so
trusted to General Gutierrez, in com
mand of the rebel forces about San
Luis Potosl, to prevent those who left
by rail from getting Into that city.
Villa's main body was entraining to
day at Paredon and Hipollto as rapidly
as possible. Villa, who was superin
tending affairs, would not discuss his
plans, but it was believed he meant to
cr.pture Zacatecas before marching on
San Luis Potosl. r
That General Carranza would short
ly transfer his provisional capital to
Saltlllo was generally expected.

Immediate vicinity. Should one occur.
It was said General Funston would not
interfere.
The boats which carried the rebel
from Tampico to Punto Del Gado fell
Into I he Constitutionalists' hands when
they captured the former city. A num

were in the Panuco river at, th tlm
