Legislative Notes

Gov. Mead's central normal school
bill is still in committee, having been
referred to both the committee on
state schools and appropriations. The
committee on state schools is favor
able to the idea and not much trouble
is expected from the other committee
The storm will burst when the bill
comes up in the House and ii it
passes that body will rage with great
er fury when it gets to the Senate
Few believe that anything like an
adequate school can be established
for any such sum as $4,000 and that
this is only the starting point for
another large appropriation two years
hence. II is not thought that il the
state is to do away with the present
normals such a school as the state
will need can be constructed much
short of 100000 to Sl50000 and that
It may be wiser to continue the pres
ent schools for two years when the
demands upon the state may not be as
pressing as they seem to be at this
time.--Barre Times.

CONGRESS NOW THE JUDGE
Pinchot Says it Must Now Pass on
the Ballineer Reports

Washington, Dec. l5.-Gifford Pin
chot, the deposed Chief Forester is
trying hard to force both Houses of
Congress to go on record concerning
the three reports filed by the select
committee on the Pinchot-Ballinger
controversy He gave out state
ment yesterday declaring that the re-
ports only half finished the work that
Congress had set itself He insists
that the country wants to know the
attitude of particular Senators and
Representatives on the subject.
Mr.. Pinchot states that the major
ity of the committee merely did the
easy thing in generating the secre-
tary of the Interior. This eXonera-
ton, he says, was forecast in the
newspapers and discounted as soon as
the personnel of the committee was
known. But the people, in his opin'
ion. decided long ago that Judge Mad
ison and the minority members were
right Mr.. Pinchot points out that
the majority OF the committee excuses
Mr.. Ballinger but condemns his pol
icy
Congress is the court says Mr..
Pinchots statement 1T named a
committee to take testimony. 1t can
not now fairly avoid the responsibility
OF ruling in the reports Of the com
mlttee. OF course, the report OF the
majority in favor of Mr. Balliuger has
excited little interest and less sur
prise. From the beginning it was
known what the tenor of the report
would be. The standpat majority die

WOUNDED REBELS eAYoNErED
Horrible Scene in Connection With
Battle in Mexico

At the Frontier, Rancho Santiago,
near Pedarnales, Dec. ~, via Ell Pasa,
lex, Dec. l5.--In Tuesday engage
.ment the revolutionists fought Gen.
Navarro to a standstill, although in
ferior in numbers. All told "a per-
sons are known by independent inves-
tigation TO be killed. Navarro took
no prisoners-it is contrary to his or
ders-and in his camp today there
were no wounded of the other side.
The bayonet had completed the work
of the bullet.
A horrible instance of the barbarity
of the campaign occurred after the
battle. Every man in the hamlet of
Cerro Prieto, Ozark HID was brought
before the mayor to prove his limo
cence OF participation in the revolt.
Thirty could not do this. AS fast as
their identity became known they
were taken out and shot. They are
included in the number of the dead.
Gen. Navarro places his own dead at
one captain, one lieutenant and IL
soldiers. Twenty-seyen of his men,
including two officers were severely
wounded.
Among the latter was Gen. Bran
des, special correspondent to the Mex
lean Herald and resident of Panama
Five insurrectos who ran out OF
ammunition and surrendered were
! bayoneted.
The battle was indecisive in its re-
suit. 1t began at II a m, and lasted
until p. M. and occurred at the vic
( unity of Cerro Prieto, 100 miles west
Of chihuahua, at the base of two low
hills, nine miles east of here.
