"Almost Immediately after the first
hot was fired all the tramcar drivers
left their cars and joined the rebels. I
managed to get back to the hotel with
great difficulty. Bullets were flying
fast. From that time the hotel was
under fire constantly.
Trama Vied, as Barricades.
"On the first day the rebels brought
up tramcars and made barricades with
them. They also tore up the streets
to make trenches.
"From my window In the hotel I
distinctly saw the Countess Markle
Wlcs, attired in men's clothes of semi-
military cut, leading her men to the
attack. She had two big service re
volvers strapped to her belt and
eerned to be u-ing them well.

OF PUBUC SERVICE
T RAISE RATES
Such Is Stand Taken by Cir
cuit Judge Galloway in the
Woodburn Case,
Salem, Or., May 16. Declaring that
the parties to the contract or fran
chise between a city and a public
utility are the only ones who can
change it, Circuit Judge Galloway to
day set aside an order of the public
service commission raising rates of
the Western Telephone company In
Woodburn. The decision ie baaed on
the home rule amendment of the stat
laws. The city of Woodburn brought the
suit to set aside the order, naming the
public service commission and the
Western Telephone company as de
fendants. The decision affects a question of
far-reaching importance, as it was con
tended, if the Woodburn franchise could
be set aside by. the commission, without
the city s consent, other franchises
would not be lmmane. ,
The old franchise provided that the
maximum telephone rates should be
not over 81.60 for business service, and
correspondingly low rates for reeidence
service. Increases were ordered by
the commission on all rates, and the
reasons given were that the consolida
tion of rural lines with the city system
gave the people better service, and that
the company was not getting adequate
returns on its investment.
The commission will take the case to
the-supreme court. . . -.

Scott Is convinced that General Obre-
gon Is completely satisfied as to the
American army's status as a punitive
expedition.
The cabinet today-discussed General
Hugh Scott's report on his conferences
in El Paso with Alvaro Obregon. The
papers submitted to the president and
his advisers included a transcript of
the conversatlona They Indicated a
desire on the part of Carranza and
Obregon to cooperate with the Ameri
can forces. There is said to be no
cause for alarm or for a change In the
Mexican policy.
Scott reported the situation better
than it had been for weeks. He said
that Obregon was suspicious when he
arrived, fearing that the Americans
intended to remain in Mexico. The
Mexican war minister left El Paso
convinced that the expedition's only
object was to suppress banditry.
Obregon agreed to send 10,000 of the
teat Carranza troops to patrol the Big

Boost His Own Game.
Washington, May 16. (U. P.) Pre
senting the congressional conference
report on the army bills to the senate
today, Senator Chamberlain of Oregon
said that the peace strength of the
army would be 11.000 officers and
200,000 men under the terms of the
military measures.
Tne army s war strength is fixed at
11,500 officers and 225.000 men As
for the National Guard, its maximum
strength is to be 17,000 officers and
440,000 men. Chamberlain asserted.
In the house. Representative' Hay
denied the accuracy of these figures.
He charged that Chamberlain had
boosted the statistics to show that
"big army men" won in the conference
discussions.
Replying to this. Chamberlain as
serted that Hay was depressing the
figures to indicate a victory for the
little army men."
The bill is a compromise and in
part experimental." declared Chamber
lain. "It may not work out. Funda
mentally it is right, and it should be
welcomed by all reasonable advocates
of preparedness.
He announced that the volunteer
army provisions had been stricken out
and civilian training camps substitut
ed. The provisions for officers of i
national reserve and a training corps
were retained.
The National Guard, he pointed out,
would have a great chance to prove the
claim that it has been held back here
tofore by outside forces.
