FIGHT ON CANNON
LIKELY IN CONGRESS
For SpeakerShip at the Organi-
cation Of the Sixy-FirSt
Session,

WASHINGTON. Aug. 24.-Promin
ent members of the House of Repre-
sentatiyes who have been in Washing.
ton recently have evidenced much in
terest in the fight being made in va.
rious parts of the country against the
reelection of Uncle joe Cannon as
speaker of the sixty-frst congress.
The thing is without parallel, they
declare, in the history of American
politics. In number of states, not
ably in Wisconsin, Republican candi-
dates for congress are being asked to
pledge themselves that they will not
vote for Cannon for speaker and can
didates Of both parties are being asked
to pledge that they viii not vote &c
readopt the present House rules.
Il is clear that the man who secured
the insertion in the Denver platform
of plank against the House autocra-
cy had much better conception of
public sentiment on the subject than
anyone here in Washington. The
methods by which the House is gov.
erned have been criticized for years,
ever since the Reed rules came into
being, in fact; but no one, certainly
no one prominent in the House organ.
ization,' realized there was any seri.
Gus amount of public sentiment on the
subject. Nothing serious may come OF

managers some rather unpleasant sen.

AS a matter of fact, it is difficult 70
determine how much IS necessary and
now much is worthy of blame in the
present House rules. It is admittedly
necessary that there shall be some
means of preventing obstruction. OF

YAOUl TROUBLES
HARD TO GUAGE

DOUGLAS. Aug. 24-(SpeciaI)-
W. H. H. Davenport, who has min
eral properties in the Sahuaripa dis
trict, returned to Douglas yesterday
and is stopping at the Roy. He states
that the Yaqui excitement has abated
but little and that on Thursday a fur
ther force of twenty-eight men was
sent out to intercept the Yaquis, who,
according to report, had been turned
back and were going southwark.
Mr.. Davenport stated that there
were so many rumors it was an i'm
possibility to determine what was a
truth and what was pure fiction. He
has heard nothing of the report which
was telegrapned here few days since
that the Yaquis had been surrounded
on hill or small peak and that a
pitched battle was imminent.
Friday the body Of a Mexican was
brought in from near the San Pedro
mine. It was alleged that he was a
Yaqui victim. His clothing was burn
ed from close proximity to the gun
when he was shot and as his own gun
and ammunition had not been disturb
ed, it is thought ne was murdered by
compadres and not killed by Yaquis.
Another rumor was rife yesterday in
Nacozari that a party of seven Yaquis
had been seen near old NacozaTi. Mr..
Davenport believes the country in the
Moctezuma district will be soon made
toe hot for the Yaquis because of the
important interests there, the number
of good sized settlements and the fact
that there are so many Americans
there. Another cause for that belief
is the activity and energy which are
shown by the project of Moctezuma,
Francisco Chapa "He is a live one,'

best officials have ever met in Mex.
leo, wide-awake, active, keen to do his
duty and fearless. He does not intend
to permit conditions to remain as they
are in his territory any longer than
necessary" This is the second com.
mendaion of the project which has
been heard recently for Harry Wheeler
in a recent letter spoke highly of him
well liked by the Americans.
Local Mexican Held-up.
Another development of the raid
and massacre at the Rucker camp was
learned today through a letter receiv
ed in Douglas. Jose Maria Ballesteros
had left Douglas shortly before tae
raid and was on his way to Cumpas
when he was held UP by the party
When he saw he was covered he
turned over his money, over two hun.
dred dollars, and his weapons without

defnur. A few moments later he real
lied that he had left his wife and
daughters, who conduct a restaurant
here, without funds and that the money
was gone and he begged them to kill
him. He received a laughing reply,
We do not kill men who act as you
do but only those who resist" He was
stripped of everything but undercloth-
ing and shoes and had to return to
Nacozari for clothes.

LITTLE PROFIT.

a Mexican Tancher came all the
way from New Mexico to Douglas with
wagon load of apples. He was on
the road for eight days and started TO
peddle the apples yesterday. He was
found to have no license and hailed
before Marshal East, where he had to
produce fifteen dollars in payment of
a three months license. He is said
to have made the trip here annually
for the past three years and this is
the first time ne was ever caught and
made to come through with license.

The trap nest has revealed some in
teresting ard suggestive conditions.
One man reports 215 eggs from IL
birds for last January. As they were
all trap-nested, he knew the eggs OF
each. One hen laid 1S6 eggs In her
first laying year; As Of them were laid
during the Matching season and all In
cubated; only five were infertile. One
pulIet, whose. egg record was about
the same, did not lay single fertile
egg the whole season. She was put
with different males in an effort to
get some fertile eggs from her, but
the effort was not successful. The
question arises. do We breed out fer
fifty by breeding for large egg yields.
and shall we be obliged to begin with
the old average layer, after series
Of years. and breed up to the large
egg yield again?

An agricultural banking system Is
suggested by some who would aim to
serve the interests of farming COM
munities and prevent the money OF
the farmers getting into the control
Of the banks of the large cities OF the
country. The originator Of the scheme
would have the agricultural banks
under federal control, and prohibited
from disposing of their reserves in
national OF state banks, the aim being
to keep the money in the country.
He would also have them prohibited
frcm 1oaning money on stocks, bonds
and Industrial securities. but instead
permitted to loan on FARMS home
steads and live stock, produce and tbs
mortgages on the same. The term
agricultural banking system may
sound good to the farmer, and the
scheme may look attractive, but we
don't think It would work. neither do
we think that banking system eau
ever be devised to serve exclusively
one set Of interests. What We need
Is the present banking system under

winter by John Sharp Williams
showed that even the Reed rules were
deficient in this respect and special
rules had to be brought in to gag the
belligerent minority Some of those
special rules came perilously close to
infringing on the constitutional rights
of the minority, but the majority just
fled them on the ground of necessity.
