NAVARRO YIELDS

:
Mexico City—General Navarro has
surrendered to the rebels, according to
a report that has reachèd here from
authorities which have heretofore
proved reliable in the matter of war
news.
The government denies the report
and says that he is awaiting ¡reinforce­
ments. Officials say Pedernales is not
menaced seriously by the rebels.
It is known from other sources that
Navarro has been having a hard time.
His men are not used to the severe
winter climate of Chihuahua. They
are not properly clothed and are short
of food and ammunition. It is consid­
ered here that if Navarro has not sur­
rendered, he is liable to do so at any
time.
Another report says that Navarro
has not surrendered, but has deserted
with his men to the rebels. This is
not believd.
The government now acknowledges
that the situation is very serious. All
available troops are being sent north
as fast as possible to assist Navarro.
Three hundred prisoners were taken
from the Belan prison and drafted into
thè army. A ¡considerable portion of
the army at present is made up of
prisoners.
In all the battles that have occurred
so far, it seems that the rebels have
been shooting particularly at officers.
The per Ventage of these wounded or
killed is very large. At the battle of
Mai Paso, the rebels, who were en­
trenched on mountains forming the
side of a canyon, rolled immense boul­
ders down on the troops.
These did
more damage than the shooting.
The serious condition of affairs in
the North is the principal topic of con­
versation here. There is much specu­
lation as to the outcome. It is expect­
ed that the reverses suffered by the
government recently will lead to other
uprisings throughout the republic as
soon as they become known.

To Be Shown,
Washington—The suit of the gov­
ernment against the so-called electrical
trust will rival in magnitude the pros­
ecutions of the Standard Oil company
and the tobacco trust, according to at­
taches of the department of justice,
and it is predicted that the govern­
ment will win the case. The suit has
been brought under the Sherman anti­
trust law.
The evidence which the government
will lay before the courts, it is assert­
ed, shows startling price juggling. It
is alleged that the General Electric
t company and the Westinghouse Elec­
| tric company secured control of the
electrical business by buying up the
most valuable plants and by control­
ling most of the water power sites.
The suit will be filed early in Janu­
ary. W. S. Kenyon, assistant attorney
general, is preparing the papers in the
case.
No criminal proceedings are
contemplated.

year was what the officials of 61 West­
ern railroads put in the stockings of
the locomotive engineers. The gift
brought “peace and good will” and
averted what might fyave proved one
of the most disastrous strikes in the
history of the country.
Commissioner of Labor Charles P.
Neill played the part of Santa Claus to
the engineers.
For seven ’days he
worked to bring the railroads and the
engineers together and with his work
accomplished he left in the afternoon
for his home in Washington to spend
Christmas with his family.
In spite of their repeated l assertions
that they had reached -the limit, the
managers made concessions in the face
of a threatened strike. < Concessions
were made by the engineers also, but
they established two of the chief points
for which they contended—jurisdiction
over motor-trucks and an increased
schedule for the Mallet type of engine.

POPULATION GROWS DENSE.
Washington — Rhode Island has
508.5 persons to the square mile, thus,
according to census bureau figures,
leading the list of states in the matter
of density of population.
Nevada, with only seven-tenths of a
person to the mile, finds a place at the
lower end of the table giving these
facts.
Second in the density list, Massa-
chusetts supports 418.8 persons to the
square mile; New Jersey, 337.7; Con­
necticut, 231.3, and New York 191.2.
The other states possessing more than
100 to the mile are:
Pennsylvania, 171; Maryland, 130.3;
Ohio, 117; Delaware, 103, and Illinois,
100.7.
Wyoming, boasting IX persons to
the mile, more than doubles Nevada,
while Arizona, with 1.8, stands third
from the bottom.
Montana, New
Mexico, Idaho, Utah, Oregon, South
Dakota, Colorado and North Dakota,
all have fewer population than 10 to
the square mile.
Of the states of large population,
Washington takes the lead in the
growth of density, having advanced
from 7.8 to 17.1 per square mile in the
last 10 years, thus taking a place be­
tween Kansas, with 10.5, and Nebras­
ka, with 15.5. Washington exceeds
her neighbor, Oregon, with seven per­
sons to the mile, by more than 10, and
even surpasses California, with 15.2.
Idaho increased from 1.9 to 3.9; and
Oklahoma from 11.4 to 23.9.
The figures for other states are:
Indiana, 75.3; Kentucky/57.0; Ten­
nessee, 52.4; Virginia, 51.2; West
Virginia, 50.8; South Carolina, 49.7;
Michigan, 48.9; Missouri, 47.9; New
Hampshire, 47.7; North Carolina,
45.3; Georgia, 44.4; Wisconsin, 42.2;
Alabama, 41.7; Iowa, 40; Vermont
39; Mississippi, 38.8; Louisana, 36;5;
Arkansas, 30; Minnesota, 25.7; Maine,
24.8. Texas, 14.8; Florida, 13.7.
