A dozen prisoners were re­ leased from the Nogales, Sonora, jail, among them a Mexican held on three separate charges of murder. It is be­ lieved the men are being released upon a promise to join the Mexican army and because o f the difficulty in obtain­ ing food fo r them. The United States consulate at Tor- reon, Mexico, was demolished June 18 by a mob o f 3000 civilians, led by the mayor o f the city and a Carranza army band, according to American refugees arriving at Eagle Pass, Tex., late Tuesday. The populace was attending a bullfight, according to the refugees, when the de facto government troops forced them to join in an anti-Am eri­ can demonstration. A large force o f Russian cavalry, after a battle with Austro-Hungarian troops, has occupied a position near Pezoritt, about 54 milles west of Kim- polung, in Bukowina.

Re­ garding the operations in Bukowina, the war office announced that Russian forces also were advancing southward, approaching the passes leading into Transylvania.

Higher Prices for Beans Are Named in California Advices Portland— There was some talk o f an 11-cent bean market Wednesday, but jobbers were adverse to putting out such an extrem e quotation, not­ withstanding thé further advance in the South. In fact, Portland jobbing prices are below a parity with Califor­ nia. It is believed there are enough beans here to meet the restricted re­ quirements during the remainder o f the old-crop year, but i f the supply is exhausted, it cannot be replenished at existing prices. While the main fac­ tor in the strength o f the market is the government demand, there is little doubt that speculation has played an important part in bulling prices in the South. The available supply o f white beans in California is limited, and ap­ pears to have passed into strong specu­ lative hands. Advices received from San Fran­ cisco said small whites were practi­ cally cleaned up at shipping points at 91 cents and very few I.ady Washing­ tons were le ft at 9 cents. There was a good demand fo r Limas, which were advancing in sympathy with the high prices o f white beans. Baker Wool Not Sold. Baker, Or.— Out o f 148,000 pounds o f wool, practically all fine, offered this week in Baker at the annual wool sale, only 23,000 pounds were sold, al­ though other deals which may be closed later were pending. High bids on fine wool ranged from 23 cents to 25 cents, while for 4000 pounds o f coarse wool from the Sels-Ashford ranch, in Grant county, a high bid o f 28 cents was received. Isador Kosh- land, of Portland, was the bidder. W ith the exception o f 10,000 pounds sold by W alter Steiger, o f Baker, at 25 cents, to John Glorieux, o f Woon­ socket, R. I., all the clips offered were from Grant county. The only other clip sold was that o f J. C. Moore, who sold to Mr. Glorieux at 24 cents. Mrs. Kenneth McRae, o f Prairie City, had the largest clip for sale, 615,- 000 pounds. It is understood that a private bid made tops the price being offered openly. Mascall & Ringsmyer, o f Dayville, were offered 23 cents for their 40,000-pound clip by Mr. Kosh- land, while C. H. Green, o f Portland, offered to take over the 16,000 pounds o f fine wool from the Sels-Ashford ranch at 231 cents. G row er* T o Be Helped.

Congress Drops Provision to Aid Dependent Families of Guardsmen Washington, D. C.— An agreement under which the army draft resoultion w ill be put through, without any pro­ vision for re lie f o f dependent families of National guardsmen drafted into the Federal service, was reached late Wednesday by the house and senate leaders. A conference report elim i­ nating entirely the re lie f proposal on which the conferees had split was ap­ proved by the house without opposition just before adjournment and is expect­ ed to be accepted by the senate. In submitting the conference report to the house. Chairman Hay, o f the m ilitary committee said the house con­ ferees had consented to sacrifice their $1,000,000 re lie f proposal only after Secretary Barker had telephoned to the capitol that immediate passage o f the resolution in some form was impera­ tive. Mr. Hay announced he would intro­ duce the appropriation section as a separate bill and Speaker Clarke said he would entertain a motion Monday for passage o f the measure under a suspension o f rules. As finally agreed to, the resolution authorizes the President to use as Fed­ eral soldiers all members o f the Na­ tional guard w illin g to take the re­ quired oath for Fedreal service and permits consolidation o f scattered and incomplete guard units. Marines Battle Dominicans. Washington, D. C .— One American soldier was killed and another wounded in an engagement reported Thursday by Rear Admiral Caperton between the United States marines and Santo Domingo rebels, in which the latter were routed. The rebel losses were not given. The name o f the marine killed was given as Private John Acri- ment, o f the 27th company. His name does not appear in N avy department records. A lbert Vieldaum, o f Aber­ deen, Wash., a private o f the 27th, was wounded. Uncle Joe Would Invade. Washington, D. C. — Republican criticism o f President W ilson's M exi­ can policy marked debate in the house Wednesday on an urgent deficiency ap­ propriation bill, carryin g approximate­ ly $28,000,000 as'xed for by the War department to cover pay, equipment and transportatio n o f National Guards. Ex-Speaker Cannon attacked what he called a “ wishy-washy” course and ad­ vocated going in to Mexico with large forces to set up a m ilitary government.

He was allowed to raise the flag with his own hands.
