CONFUSION AMONG REeELs.

In the main camp today confusion rcigned orders were given for a gen. eral attack. but were cOuntermanded. It was argued by some of the chiefs that since a small detachment had made such progress, it was the duty of the remainder of the army tO reinforce it. General Madero wavered in his deci- sion, but finally decided to stand by his promise of last night not to at tack the city.
 Flags of truce suffered greatly dur ing the day. An insurrectO who bore one was shot from his horse. Those who were trying to persuade Madero to make a general attack reported that the federals had fired on the truce bearer but this has not been con- firmed. At 9:15 o'clock an automO- bile carrying a flag of truce started from the Madero headquarters for JuareZ. General Navarro was willing during the day at any hour to grant an armistice. but the insurrectos ignored all efforts in that direction.

 The federals were reported to have stopped firing. It was reported that the federals had shot the insurrecto truce bearer, but it could not be con- firmed. Many of the federal dead can be seen lying in the streets. Colonel Steever has ordered all United States troops to the scene of the fighting. He has made a report to the war depart ment of the futility of his protests against the shooting into American territory

WOMEN CONTROL
SUGAR TRUST
Atkins Tells Congressional
Committee Owners are
Hard to Deal With
Nv The United Press.


WASHINGTON, June 12-That the
stock Of the American Sugar Com
pany,-the sugar trust is now m the
hands Of 10000 holders. more than
half of them women, who paid more
for their interest than the stock is
now worth, was developed by the
Hardwick Sugar Investigating Com
mittee at the House at its opening
session today. Edwin F. Atkins, first
vice-president and acting president Of
the company, was on the stand.
Atkins was under cross-examina-
tion, declared that when he entered
the directorate of the sugar company
in 1901 he was surprised to find that
the majority stock Of the company
was not IN the hands of the men who
controlled It. and that control had
passed to small stockholders. Asked
why the small stockholders had in
vested IN an industry of which they
knew nothing, Atkins said:
why, they bought it, suppose. be-
cause of the natural desire of all peo-
pie to put their money into PROPOSE
tion where they know nothing People
in the temperate zone are prone to in
vest I'm propositions that involve op-
erations In the torrid zone. A man in
Washington will invest in an Alaskan
proposition much more quickly than
in a Washington one. These small
stock holders, practically women, have
no knowledge Of the sugar business
and they are very difficult to deal
with"
