Follow Ing a fierce quarrel with General Villa, General Carrania was re ported here today to itand ready to aid President Huorta In crusrlnjr ths rebellion. If such a situation really existed, It of course would bo highly gratify lug to Hucrta and tho general opin ion among foreigners was that tho lluortlstas merely wished tho report was true. Fow or them believed It. War Minister Dlanquct promised Charge d'Affalrcs O'Shaughncsny to Intcstlgato the hanging of Omenta Vcrgarox, an American citizen, near Xuovo Laredo, Messages from ths United States indicated that Versa- rez was put to death by the rebels but tho understanding hero that it was tho federals who hanged him. At any rate O'Shaughnessy ro coUed Instructions from Washington to demand satisfaction. Minister lllanquet suhi ho doubted if tho fed erals wero at fault, but telegraphed to Colonel Alvarez, commander at Xuovo Laredl. for a detailed report. It wag understood that, after an overnight lull, fighting was resumed today at Mazatlau.

Alleged Violations of Hue Sky Law Probed, But Evkfcnee Also Insuf ficient to Indictment. Conilcinnnlion of scandnlmongiiif; Portland contractors, who lauftrhcd n campaign of viilifieation against Major Howlby of the state highway commission mid the Jackson county court, becnusc of disgmntlcmcnt over failure to secure a Pacific high way contract, is voiced in the report of the grand jury filed with the cir cuit court this morning. Letters Wero Unsigned Unsigned letters sent out aro clas sified bv tho grnml jury as "highly scandalous, unkind and attacking the integrity of Major Howlby nipl the county court," nnd regret it ex pressed "thnt the evidence is insuf ficient to warrant indictments, "yet morally certain" of tho guilt of cer tain Portland parties. The grand jury urges that the next grand jury continue the investigation of the let ters and chnrges. The grand jury investigated alleg ed violations of the blue sky law, in which thousands of dollars of local money has beeir'ncuf Injp other states nnd countries, and found Ifiefo wns insufficient evidence to w-nrrnnt true bills. Tho only true bill returned wns mi indictment against John Dee for stealing a pig. Grand Jury Report The grand jury report follews: "We, your jury, respectfully report thnt we have examined carefully all matters brought to our attention; that under the instruction given by your honor on the subject of libel, we find thnt u number of highly scandalous unsigned letters have been circulated throughout the coun ty, attacking the Integrity of Stalo Kngineer Howlby and 6ur local coun ty court, because of tho failure of these parties in receiving the award of certain contracts let iu Jackson county. Your grand jury is iinnlilu to fasten the guilt specifically upon any Hrson, Jiut ine morally satisfied that theto letters were written by disappointed Portland contractors. An investigation of tho letting of these contracts satisfies your jury conclusively they were awarded properly to the lowest bidders uml that there idis no cause for com plaint; nml while we regret that tho evidence is insufficient at this time upon which to find a true bill, wo most severely condemn such coward ly ami scandalous practice. "The recent grand jury having just investigated tho county offices, we deem it lulvisiiblo to taku this matter up at a litter sitting. "Hespeclftilly submitted, "It. C, IIOHNETT, foreman."
