Chihuahua Rebels are in control of the entire state of Chihuahua. Col onel Pancho Villa and his forces are still in the state but so outnumbered as to be ineffective. The column under General Salazar and Campa moved to the city from Saui and with Orozeo s men are in camp at the edge of the city. All sa loons are closed by "order of Orozeo. An immense crowd welcomed the col umn from Juarez. Under Orozco's immediate command are 600 former government iroops. The rebel generals declared that the numerous -volunteers who were offer- ng themselves will soon swell the rhl rmv to 5.000 men. who will be taken south to secure control of rango, Torreon and all other towns be ivwn here and the Utv or Mexico. Tho misnndfrstandinff by which riolnvcd entering Chi huahua apparently has been cleared up. On the suriace ai ieasv, n fiof nf mm has aissDDeareu. A report from r arral says mat uose de al Luz Soto, with a small cieiacn ment of Federals has joined Villa. REBELS MARCH TO CHIHUAHUA Scene of Mexican Conflict Shifts From Juarez. Orozeo Said to Have Deserted With Entire Command Americana i Retire Across Border, 4.75; 4.25; 4.60: Diaz Outlines His Position. Paria "What I promised my com- riAtriots was that I would return should war break out against a for oiorn enomv. and not that I W0U1C1 re v.t,.. . turn to take part in tne struggle oi the narties. I have no intention of intervpninff in the strife of the par iallv while they have not rafrworeA their reason." Thia ripclaration was teleeraphed by General Porfirio Diaz in connection with a report that he naa written a lotter to a friend in New lork saying he was readv to return to Mexico if the country needed him. POLICE RAID SUFFRAGETTES Arrest Editors and Capture Offices of Suffragette Publication. London In pursuance of the deter mination of the government fully to test the efficiency of the existing laws to deal with the latest tactics of the militant suffragettes, before resorting tn snecial legislation to make the fund of the 'suffragette societies liable for damages done by their mem horn the nolice raided the offices of the Women's Social and Political un ion. Thev arrested Mr. and Mrs. Freder ick Pethick Lawrence, joint editors of "Votes for Women." The police also arrested later in the night Miss Chris- tabel Pankhurst. They took posses. sion of the offices. The leaders of the union are charged with being responsible for the latest window smashing campaign. Presumably they will be tried under the conspiracy laws. Members of the uniDn said the new departure of in flirting hard labor sentences upon thnae convicted of takine Dart in the recent demonstration and in arresting the leaders would produce a bigger f vnlnnteern fnr militant work. Th weakness of the surffaerist cause, however, is seen in the fact that the trreat maiority of women de- nnnnpe the militant actions, which thou naaert are heiner carried too far. There is ample evidence that the recent window smashing has alienated nnhlii Bvmnathv. r " r Wh a the militant sunraifen.es more vainlv trvin? to DreaK mrouen the cordon of police about Parliament Square, 200 medical stuaents organ ized a raid on the suffragette prem ises, to nav them back in their own Marching to the building occupied bv the Women's Press in Charing Cross road, where there was a big dis plav of suffragette literature, they bombarded it with stones, smashing all the windows, to an accompaniment of cheers from deligted spectators. Packers' Defense Near. Chicago The government rested its case in the trial of the ten meat packers charged with criminal viola tion of the Sherman law. The trial was shortened materially when both sides agreed to have read to the jury stipu lator! i-nrmrfttfi statements, describing the organization' and financial condi tion of the lour companies control ieu hv the defendants. The first statement was that of Armour & Co. It showed that the company was incorporated in 1900 with a capital stock of $20,000, 000 and has a surplus of $70,000,000. i Finder of Money Loses. Kansas City A. W. Foster cannot have the money he picked up on the floor of a Kansas City safe deposit company. The court of appeals de clared the money should remain with the deposit company. Foster upon finding $180 on the vault floor turned it over to the officers of the company. No owner for the money was found and he brought suit to: recover it..- A jury awarded him the find and the de posit company appealed. Chinese Looters Spare. Foreigners Pekin Chang Ting Fu, an import ant city on the railroad about 160 miles southwest of Pekin, has been added to the list of places which have been looted and burned. No details have reached here, but it is thought there need be no fear for foreigners there, because the mutineers every where are observing the same rule of not touching strangers. Washington. D. C A telegram re ceived bv nrivate persons here from El Faso drew a grave picture oi con ditions on the Mexican border. The telegram said that fighting between Federals and rebels began at Lhinua- hua City at 11 o'clock Sunday, and that many Americans were in danger. Americans in Northern Mexico are rushing across the border at U I aao and other points, fearing massacre by Mpiieans. despite denials by admin is truti.in nfliiMfiU that President Taft intonrls to intervene in Mexico. Feverish activity prevailed bunday . . . ii.. in the War department, wnicn uauany is deserted on that day. This activ itv. around which a veil of secrecy wbs thrown, is believed to mean that more troooa will soon be moved to the border. Fl Pao A teletrram savinir that fio-htintr for the Dossession of Chihua hna Citv. paiiital of the Mexican state of that name, had begun, was lonoweu by the hasty departure of tne reue garrison at Juarez to join their com rades in the fight. Two teleerams bearing on tne ngn were received bv General Ynez Sala J M . zar, the Juarez commanuer, lrum itrnnlin Hernandez, one of the rebel leaders in the district about Chihua hua. Neither message was as detail ed as its recipient could have wished hnt hnth were sufficient to dispel lan prior which has characterized the work of the Juarez forces, and tne oetacn mnfnf fmm soo to 1.000 men was sneedilv daced on board three sec tions of a freight train. FOOD SAMPLES STARTLE. Sand, Salt, Alum and Glucose Among Adulterants Used. W TTavon. Conn. Even the food rhemists at the Connecticut Agricul tural station are surprised by the result of a series of tests they have iiist completed, which show that ot 722 samDles of food, drink and drugs analvied 232. or nearly one-third were adulterated below standard or misbranded. The wooden nutmeg was not in evidence, but other things were, for example: nf 2Q.n snmnlea of milk. 7 were .limmori R7 watered, and 3 both akimmed and watered.

Mo Outbreak Is Expected at Any ment in San Francisco, San Francisco The temporary troatv nf neace in Chinatown.! which leading Chinese prayed would be made permanent, has been broken and the war rlnud acain banes low. Repre sentative Chinese conferred with the loonora nf the five tones involved in the controversy and pleaded in vain that the existing difficulties oe iorgot ten and that peace be restored. The peace envoys met with no suc- nnrl nakpri the MX tympanies to intervene. However, prominent Chin oae' nnnr.ede that the prospect of re storing the peace hatchet is dim and war is expected at any time, avery memher nf the police sauad in China town is alert, for it is known several gunmen have come to the local urien- tal quarter and are in niaing. Citv May Stop Merger Seattle A court order was issued here temporarily restraining the Inde- nenHont. and Sunset Telephone com nanies from effecting consolidation of their svstems.

Three deputy sheriffs who Bought to serve copies of the order on the tele nhnne officials were unable to find them. Strikers to Resume Tasks Lawrence. Mass. Striking opera tivea of the Arlington and Pacific milla. affiliated with the Central La bor union, have returned to work and accepted the 5 per cent minimum wage increase offered. The action is accepted generally as an indication that the Central Labor union will rec ommend the acceptance of the conces sion offered in all the mills. The In dustrial Workers of the World strike committee declined the offer. Americans Advised to Leave. Washington, D. C The gravity of the situation in Mexico has caused President Taft to issue a proclamation virtually warning American citizens to refrain from entering the country and advising those now resident there to leave when conditions threaten.
