Politicians here discussed with intense interest to tiny Colonel Roosevelt's defense, on his arrival in New York from Europe Wed nesday, of Chairman George W. Per kins of the progressive national execu tive committee. "Mr. Perkins," he was quoted as KLdLLJ ANU rtUiKALl3!l"09t uspful member of the progressive pany. as ior reatiing nun um oi uiw party, when that is done, they will have to read me out, too." There was the liveliest speculation as to what the effect of this utter-1 ance would be on the relations between the ex prsidnt and Uiffnrd and Amos Pinehot, who made the attack on Per kins. By some it was thought he would discuss the matter in the course of the speech ns he scheduled to make in Pitts burg June 30. His statement that he would not be a inndidate for governor of New York in the fall was what had been expect ed, since it coincided with an intima tion given by him some time ago. Will Make Certain Speeches. The colonel's announcement that he would make "a certain number of speeches indoors" despite the fact that ho could not do open air talking or undertake a continuance speaking tour, was taken as insuring sufficient liveli ness in the fall campaign. No comment was looked for from President Wilson on the declarations attributed to the colonel to the effect that the administration's handling of foreign affairs has made "tin United States a figure of fun in the interna tional world," that "it is hyprocricj" to claim credit" for the Panama ca nal" and at the same time attempt to OPFNS wkl IN B CITY LAZE OF G0L0I EM EXTENDS EARTY WELCOME TO THE VISITING TH Washington, June 21. Much couraged by news that the 'a. U. 'mediators, the American envovs and the Jluertista representatives at Niagara Falls have signed the protocol com posing the international differences be tween the United States anil Mexico, administration officials here were, ex pecting today the departure of Rafael Zubarun Capimuiv, Jose Yasconcelos and Luis Cabrera for a conference with the Huertistas looking toward an agreement between the two warring Mexican factions. The protocol provides for the estab lishment of a Mexican provisional gov ernment to take over the authority now in President Huerta's hands, or its formation by agreement between the Mexican constitutionalists and federals, for its recognition by the United States, Argentina, .Brazil and hile, for a waiv- 1 . 1. .

Their bodies were found today by Japa nese fishermen. ' "' The dead: Miss Lora Townsend, postal clerk, San Pedro. Miss Myrtle Brandon, postal clerk, Wilmington. Mrs. Laura Townsend, San Pedro.

The body of a boy about 14 years old was found later under the ruins of the automobile. In his pocket was a card bearing the name of Harry Harms, but no other possible means of identification. It was believed he came from Lob Angeles with Baker yesterday after noon. Baker, according to a San Pedro au tomobile agent, purchased a new car yesterday, and the party was giving it its first test. They left San Pedrtj about S o'clock yesterday afternoon.

As against I 2,000 federals killed and four thousand j wounded when the rebels captured Za cntecas Tuesday night, 500 constitu tionalists were slain and v300 were wounded, according to a. message re ceived here from General Villa today. Even rebels, however, inclined to think Villa underestimated his own. losses.' Though there was a rumor current yesterday that Zacatecas was taken, it was not definitely confirmed until last .night. Trior to that time, contradic tory and conflicting messages had in dicated that rUans were still being made for the attack.

" General Barron, the federal com mander, and five other generals, it was stated, were fleeing with the remnant of the Zacatecas garrison, for Aguas Calientes." There was -a report, though it was not confirmed thnt General Velasco, federal commander at Han Luis Potosi, had abandoned that place and was also tera's rebel attack ten days ago. Exhibition of Courage Fine. Tuesday Generals Maclovio Herrera, Ortega and Roderiguez personally led repeated charges agaiastthe federal de fenses, the exhibition of courage, Villa declared, being the finest he ever saw. All three generals were woundedf Her rera and Ortega, it was believed, seri ously. Tuesday afternoon the federal can non were silenced and infantrv Were According to the records kept by the clerk of the Salem school board, Wil liam Burkhardt, Jr., there are 4,709 children in Salem of the school age, which is betwoen i and 20 years, 2,li03 of the total being males and 2,400 fe males. in spite of the fact that there are 4,709 school children in the city, the total attendance of the nine schools at the last semester, according to the report of the superintendent, was only 3,166, which leaves 1,643 people of school age not attending sessions. The last school census was taken November Opening Attendance Good. The first day's attendance at the Salom schools was considered good, and about 2,339 pupils wero eurolled. This number was increased to 2,715 at the close of the first school month. Taking the attendance as a whole in compari son with last year, 1914 records are ahead by 251 pupils. The average at tendance for the season just closed has been 3,306, while last year the attend ance was only 3,155. The Salem school authorities are confident that at tho opening of . the next school year, the former number will bs increased by large figures. Although the official census shows that there are 4,709 per sons of proper school age within the city limits it cannot be explained why .i,166 pupils attended fie schools this year. New System Suggested. In an interview with Mr. Burkhardt, tho clerk of tho board, this morning he stated he has devised a system whero)y the board can learn to a certainty what it will cost to accommodate each indi vidual pupil in the nine Salem schools hereafter. Mr. Burkhardt states that his new system of recording will be along th general business liii"S which have been adopted by all business houses in the 1 country. Ho proposes to make out an extra record book which will, when tho scheme has been carried out, show the actual cost of each of the school build- ings; the bulk of equipment; the value ! of the school grounds: the cost of sup' plies; teachers' salaries; insrance; spw-j cial equipment for the playgrounds, and' .in fact everything of value belongingl to the district. With this information: at hand, Mr. Burkhardt states that he ' will be able to figure down to a penny I just what it costs the taxpayers to care for each pupil in all of the nine insti tutions.

Victory Is Complete. The rebels' victory was completed by 7:30 p. m. The fight was the fiercest since the present struggle began. Aguas Calientes, where it is expected the next battle will occur, is 100 miles south of Zacatecas. It is situated on a hill in a nnturally strong position, which has bce,n' artificially improved by .formidable fortifications and en trenchments. Between Zacatecas and Aguas Cali entes the federals hare destroyed the railroad and it was estimated that it would take the rebels three weeks to repair it and get within striking dis tance of the enemy. .. 1 tun ma . . . .. . . n . 1 1 1 a A inn ti.uti'ht ill. uintii it.a"' . rnllc ilitncfM 11V the curs -it Ml cm "c "- - . ....
