MEXICAN REBELS
 SCORE VICTORY
Defeat Federal Troops in Big
 Battle Near Manaca
Especial from United Press,

Galveston, Tex. Dec. 17.-A de- cisive rebel victory. in a battle with Federal troops. at La Junta, village in the territory of the Mexican North western and Orient near Manaca, is the most severe blow yet suffered py the Mexican Government.
 Official despatches received here. today, over the Mexican cable say that at least 800 scoldiersi under the command of Generals Navarro and loss also was heavy. but after the de- feat of the Federals the insurrectos had removed their dead before the iosiptal corps could record the fatil- ities. More than 100 others were found in the government ranks.
 The situation in Chihuahua state, toady, has reached it's most serious stage since the revolutionary outbreak over month go. The rebel force is holding a position practically con- trolling the city of Chihuahua and the western part of the state. In addi- ton to regulating the Federal ranks now available in the north of Mexi- co, the rebels captured three machine guns and the arms and ammunition of the defeated troops. In addition available in the north of Mexico, the rebels captured three machine guns and the arms and ammunition of the defeated troops. The surrender of 100 Federal soldiers who were lib- erated with the forfeiture of their arms, completed the rebel victory. Not more than two hundred Federal soldiers escaped before the crushing defeat, 1t is reported.
 The battle of La Junta, late yester- day. which was the fiercest of the disturbances although it lasted less than four hours, was distinctive be- cause of the aggressive position of both armies. The rebel formation consisted of small forces that had escaped after the battles of Cerro Prieto and Guerrero. About 1,500 rebels faced the united columns of Generals Navarro and Fernandez, numbering not more than 1900. The fighting was in the open, the rebels having abandoned entrenchments in

That she odorless garbage plant is l a myth, is beginning to be borne in upon the consciousness of the Bridge port Board of Health, which refused 1 last night, to modify the garbage con- tract which it has made with Thos. C. Fischer of York. Pa. AS result of this action the fnan- cial packers of Mir. Fischer announc- ed that they would not invest money in the proposed plant. It Is alleged that Mir. Fischer is not financially able unassited to erect the plant, and hence it appears as if the con- tract will be abandoned and as if the ed by MT. Fischer, in the same way that the $1,0o0 deposited under the Wheelwright contract came into its hands.
 Nevertheless it was believed this morning that MT. F.scher's packers will resume negotiations and make a further attempt to secure 6 nodif.ca- tion of the agreement.
 The ostensible objection of Fisch- CTS. packers to the contract which he has signed Is Paragraph 16. which provides that when any citizen or person specially affected shall obtain Judgment that the plant is a nui-
 
 annulled.
 Counsel for MT. Fischer offered a subst tute paragraph as follows:
 Tn the event of a final ju6g-
 ment of the courts that the said
 Fischer Cor his assigns\ has been guilty of creating or maintaining nuisance in the reception. re- duct'on. or disposal of said ma ter!al so delivered under this con- tract. it is hereby agreed and stip-
 ulated that the said Fischer shall have a reasonable time in which
 to remove his plant to such place as will change the cause of said nuisance, if he can. but if such change and proper abatement of said nuisance cannot be made and had. then and in that case this contract may be cancelled. at the option of the Board of Health. but nothing herein contained shall be so construed as to waive any liability on the part Of the said Fischer or his bondsmen to re- imburse the City of Bridgeport for such damage as may be legally proven to the extent of said bond herein before provided for: s An. And final judgment is used in the sense of such termination of any action so brought against said Fischer or h's assigns for creating or mdlntafn'ng nuisance. after new trial. appeal or any proceed ings that may legally be had in any court of law or equity in which said suits or actions may have been begun!.''
 As 1t appeared that such change would have the effect of destroying Paragraph 5, adopted from the Wheelwright contract. and the strong est protective feature in the Wheel wright contract. City Attorney Thom- as Cullinan proposed the addition of a paragraph as follows:
 Provided, however, that noth- ing in this paragraph contained shall be construed as a waiver or modification of any of the rights or oblieations of the parties pro- vided for in the foregoing para graphs and also provided that any proposed new location of said plant shall be satisfactory to the Board of Health of said city,
 This paragraph was accepted and only one point was apparently then in dispute. Paragraph 16 provides that the annullnent of the contract

BURGLARS KILL
 TWO POLICEMEN
Tunne1ling Their Way to Vaults of Jewelry Shop, Contain
 ing $1C0,000

London, Dec. 17.-It developed, to- day, that the gang of burglars that, last night, opened fire on five police men with fatal results to two, were tunnelling their way from a house the vaults of Henry Harris jewelry shop in Hounds Ditch, containing $1O0,OO0. The tunnel was practically completed and had the police not in- corrupted the game the giant robbery would undoubtedly have been accom- plished, last night. The second fatat- ity among the wounded policemen oc- cured, today.
 The burglars are believed to be members of a continental gang that is credited with numerous big hauls of late. Fifty detectives are search ing all outgoing trains and boats for the gang members.

BENTON FUNERAL
 THIS MORNING Several Hundred Pupils of the High School to At-
 tend in a Body.
MANY FLORAL PIECES
Sent to Benton Home Yesterday-List of Pall Bearers and Csh-
 CTS at Church.

Several hundred pupils of the Pine Bluff High School will attend the funeral of Professor R. T. Benton, which will be held this morning at 10 o'clock from the First Presbyter- ian Church in this city. Rev. J. I. Norris, pastor of that church, will conduct the services The pail bearers have been selected from the faculty and among the pupils of the Central University of Danville, Ky, from which Professor Benton receiv- ed diploma and where he occupied the chair of Greek and Latin for four years. Four young men, members of the High School classes of the High School, will act as ushers at the church. The interment will be in BellWood cemetery.
 Professor Benton shot and killed himself at his home, Mo- 406 East Twelfth avenue, Monday morning, af- ter breeding for some months over the death of his mother, who passed away at Mt. Sterling, Ky, his old home. some months ago. His bro- ther, N. T. Benton, arrived here yes terday from Kentucky to attend the funeral.
 All during yesterday beautiful floral emblems poured into the Ben ton home from individuals, school societies and various classes of the High School. Among the handsom- est pieces sent to the home were those of the four High Class grades
 The tragic death of Professor Ben- ton, who was principal at the High School, may seriously affect the tri- angular debate, which was arranged for the next few days between the Pine Bluff, Little Rock and Hot Springs High Schools. His death has had an exceedingly sad effect upon the members of the graduating class, as the work of this class has been under his direction throughout the present school year. Professor Benton's activity in athletic circles of this state brought the Pine Bluff High School into prominence throughout the South and his death will also interfere with progress in that direction.
 The active pail bearers at the fun eral will be Professor H. Srygley, Professor Ernest Mckenzie, James Mcclellan. Ernest Whitelaw, Rufus Hudson, John Roebuck and Clifton Howell Honorary-Dr. Junius Jor- dan, Professor B. l.. Cornmessor, John Pierce, Gordon Freeman, Joe Clements, Frank Triplett, William Ni- chol, A. H. Rowell and Prof. A. B. Moore.

Will Hold Meeting Tonight and Discuss Plans With
 Dairynen and Others.
CITY BOARDS ACTIONS
Will Have No Effect Upon the Cam paign of County Board For
 Good Health.

President o. w. Clark and Secre- tary Asa Brunson, of the Jefferson County Board of Health, have issued call for a call meeting of that body office over the Bank of Pine Bluff at which all of the dairymen and butchers in this county have been in- vited to attend The members of the City Board of Health are also request ed to, be present as are other inter- ested parties.
 At this meeting the plans, outlined by the County Board several days ago, for a thorough inspection of cat tie in this county to ascertain if any possess diseases that would be harm- full to the general health of milk and meat consumers, will be discussed. , The County Board, under a recent re- solution, will employ reputable vet erinary surgeon to make test of all cattle, using tuberculn in every in- stance. E In the event some of the cattle are found to be diseased they will be ordered killed and their car casses burned.
 After the County Board acted some days ago, upon learning that meat and milk from diseased cattle was being sold in this city and coun- ty, President, A. B. Loving yesterday appointed Drs. Hankison and Blank enship, of the City Board, as com mittee to investigate the reports which were made public by the Coun- , ty Board. It was stated that the City Board, if it found the reports to be true, would cooperate with the Coun- ty Board in its efforts to enforce the health laws. ,
 An official of the County Board stated yesterday that the law govern ing the sale of milk and meats would be strictly enforced by the County Board, regardless of the findings of the City Board of Health or it's final action. The County Board officials say that after thorough investiga- tion they learned that certain reports. relative to the sale of diseased meats, were true. They say they will pro- tect the public health at any cost and do not intend to remain idle and wait for any complaints. It isS a viola tion of the law to sell milk or meat from diseased cattle and there is on- ly one way of determining that the cat tie are affected with tuberculosis, that is by tuberculin test, which has been
