lowing greeting to the women of

Carranza authorities have released
all prisoners confined in jails in Sonora
towns. 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. The foregoing
was announced in the official statement
issued by the Russian war office. 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.

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.

The name o f the marine
killed was given as Private John Acri-
