ing Rebels Have Evacuated
City of Aqua Prieta.

Aqua Prieta, April 18.-The rebel
army after almost eighteen hours of
incessant fighting yesterday in defense
of Aqua Prieta, evacuated the city
silently before dawn. The federels ap.
preached from the southeast and oc.
cupied the city. No reason is known
for the rebel evacuation, unless they
have exhausted their ammunition.
Later developments showed the
rebel army badly disrupted. The lead
ers gave up the fight and the soldiers
appeared to flee in all directions. Col
onel Medina who assumed command
of the rebels in Aqua Prieta last night,
crossed the line before dawn and sur
rendered to the United States troops.
He was placed under guard The vic
torious federal force occupying the
town numbered about twelve hundred.

the declaration of President Taft that

now anxiously awaited. 1t seems Ger
tain that the problem soon will reach
the halls of congress. The executive
concern over the matter is plainly evi-
dent.
Later in the day the anxiety at the
capital was alleviated by the definite
assurances received by the president
from the Mexican government that the
affairs like those at Aqua Prieta would
not be repeated An announcement
was made at the White House that
Mexico had promised definite restric.

cruce Honors Requsition For Man
Charged With Wrecking Bank
Was Refused BY Haskell.

Oklahoma City, April IS. - Unless
habeas corpus proceedings succeed,
Hugh A. Burrell must,return to Brown
vile, Ind, to answer the charge of
wrecking the Peoples State bank by
virtue of requisition of the governor
of Indiana, granted by Governor Lee
Cruce Monday.
The alleged offenses were commit.
ted in 1906, and Burrell left the state
in the following year while an inyesti
cation of the banks affairs by a state
examiner was in progress. In Novem
ber, 1910, the governor of Indiana is
sued a requisition for Burrell, who
was arrested shortly afterwards in Ok
lahoma City. He was taken into Gus
tody after complaint was made by an
Oklahoma City jeweler that the banker
was fugitive from Justice.
Burrell went before Governor Has
kell, defended by Norman A. Haskell
the governors son. Haskell denied
the requisition, and Burrell since that
hime has remained at Muskogee.
The Indiana authorities have been
insistent in their attempts to extra
dite Burrell, and employed E. G. Me
Adams of oklahoma City as special
counsel Burrell came from Musko
gee Saturday night and it was under
stood Monday afternoon that habeas
corpus proceedings 10 resist extradi
ton would be instituted at once in the

The ballot boxes have not been kept

In view of the Deck protest, the
board decided not to make the re-

date. This gives the parties interest

question of the legality of the recount.
Mr.. Deck is determined TO fight to
a finish. IF Smith wants a place on

President Taft and Ambassador Jusserand
Each Made Formal AddresSes---Monument
is Simple Shaft of Pink Granite ouer
Thirteen Feet High---Midshipmen
of NohOnal Naval Academy
Did Not Attend

Annapolis, Nd, April 1S.-On the
campus of St. Johns College, there
was unveiled here today a bronze tab
let erected by the General Society of
the Sons of the Revolution to the
memory of the nameless French SOL
diers and sailors who in 1881 laid
down their lives in the cause of Amer
ican independence. President Taft
and Ambassador Jusserand both made
formal addresses. The midshipmen of
the National Naval Acamedy did not
turn out in honor of those who pre-,
vented the capture and probable sack
of ANN polls, but representatives of
the Sons OF the Revolution from all
parts of the country, the Sons of the
American Revolution, the Society of
Cincinnati, the Maryland Historical
Society and the Daughters of the
American Revolution were in attend
ance.
To Professor Henri Marion of the
department of languages at the naval
academy is due in large measure the
credit of awakening interest in the
forgotten allies whose unselfish devo-
| ton so largely contributed to our free
dom. Some years ago in lecturing be-
fore the Alliance Francaise at Balti-
more he told how French troops un-
der Lafayette and Rochambeau en-.
camped at Annapolis and by their pres
ence (March 17SD prevented the cap
ture and probable sacking of that
city. A number of French soldiers
and Sailors he continued, died from
their wounds or from disease, and
were buried at that time on the
grounds at St Johns College, An
napolis. Could not a monument be
erected on the graves of these forgot
ten defenders of Americas independ-
ence?"

the General Society of the Sons of the

and, when in 1906, French fleet came
to assist at the final interment of the
first American admiral, John Paul
Jones. whose body had been brought
to America the year before from Paris,
Col. Oswald Tilghman, a member of
the society and then secretary of state
for Maryland, called attention to the
old military burying ground, and, as a
part of the ceremonies of the visit, the
pediment of the present monument
was laid, and the society pledged it.

The composition shows sorrowing
memory, crowned with the olive leaves
of peace and leaning upon her victor
ious shield, watching the departure of
a small group of marching soldiers,
and it is interesting to note how much
more subtle in suggestion is this treat
ment than the more usual one of
troops confronting the spectator.
Above the heads of the marchers,
banners are flying in the wind and in
the background are seen the spars of
vessels, while in the foreground are
two small gravestones inscribed 4Ici

other lei git un marin de la France"
(Here lies a soldier, here lies a sailor
of France.)
On the shield appears the English
inscription: "A tribute of gratitude to
the brave soldiers and sailors of
France buried here, who gave their
lives in the struggle for American in
dependence. The memory of their
deeds will endue forever 1781-17S3."

MAKE STATEMENT
Of VALUATIONS
Companies Ask That Board Allow at
Least Five Per Cent For Years
Depreciation.

Oklahoma City, April 1S.-Repre-
sentatives of the telegraph and larger
telephone companies of the state ap-
peared before the state board of equal
ization Monday and made statements
as to the assessment of their proper
ties for the year 1911. All asked that
the board allow at least per cent a
year for depreciation as a reduction
from the original cost of their proper
ties as a basis for taxation. S. H.
Harris of Oklahoma City, attorney for
the Pioneer Telephone company, stat
ed that his company desired that their
property be assessed on an equal basis
with other property in the state.
He did not believe that it would be
fair to tax the intangible value as
this is subject to excise and occupa-
ton taxes. e. d. Minis of Oklahoma
City president of the Pioneer COM
pany, stated that telephone equipment
is continually becoming obsolete
through the installation of new equip
ment, and that the company up to last
year was unable to earn more than 6
per cent on the capital stock, which is
about $5,0O0,000 He stated that more
than 100000 of old equipment is now
stored in the basement Of the COM
pany's building here, which is not
worth burning up. He believed the
board should take this matter, as well
as depreciation, into consideration in
making the assessment. The only other
telephone company represented was
the Home Enterprise company of
Woodward, with $4,000 capital stock.
and L. B. Collins, secretary and man
ager of the company, appeared.
The Postal Telegraph company OF
Texas was represented by F. C. Cole
of Dallas, assistant to the general man
ager of the company. The return of
his company for 1911 was S26.3O5.
while it was assessed last year at $63.-
600. He stated that the returns of
this year are based on actual market
value, and expressed the opinion that
the assessment of his company for
last year was excessive.
The Postal Telegraph and Cable
company of Oklahoma was represent
ed by w. A. Logan, Oklahoma City !
manager. The company is new and
has not line in operation as yet, and
only had 249 miles of poles in the state
when the return was made which were
valued at $12,518 by the company. S.
T. Bledsoe, attorney for the Western
Union Telegraph, stated that the ac-
tual cost of the property of his com
pany in Oklahoma was s767,OO0, but
that the return of $414,OOO is a fair
valuation after deducting deprecia-
tion at the rate of per cent each year.
He stated that the corporation com
mission accepted $3S0,OOO as the valu
alton of the company for rate making
purposes, and thought that the basis
for taxation should be approximately
tne same. lie stated that the company
has resorted to the courts each year
as the board has previously multiplied
the returns made by the company by
three. He stated that the earnings of
the company for 1908 were $4,000, but
that in 1908 the company operated at
loss in Oklahoma.
