Gen. Navarro with 700 men is re.
ported to be marching north to aid
Rabagos. It is believed that Alanos is
avoiding a junction with Orozcos
forces in order to be able to cut off
Navarro.
Situation Is Summarized.
AT midnight last night the exact re
suits Of Sundays developments in the
situation about Jaurez were beclouded
BY numerous conflicting reports. From
the federal viewpoint the situation may
be summarized as follows:
Colonel RabagoA with 300 men,
marched into Juarez at 9:25 last night
unmolested by the insurrectos and
amid the joyful acclaims Of citizens
and soldiers.

az their monthly meeting today was
the matter Of eradicating cattle ticks

TO give the commissioners information
bearing on the subject
Dr. Allen explained the process Of
tick eradication and the benefits to be
derived from it.
Mr. Hard suggested that the first
section in which the work should be
undertaken was that portion Of the
county lying north and west OF the
Frisco railway. comprising about ~
townships. In order to clean up this
area il was thought that it would be
necessary to establish about four dip

there are few cattle the spraying

cost was between 5000 and $4,000

DISMISSAL FOR
TEXAS HAZERS
University Faculty Will Not
Stand for Any More
RoWdviSm.

Austin, Tex, March 6.-Fhe entire
faculty of the university Of Texas held
a meeting following a students asso-
citation meeting and adopted resolu-
lions relating to the class rush held
last Thursday morning and the shoot
ing of a student Thursday night.
1t was the sentiment of every mem
Der Of the faculty that class rushes
and hazing should be abolished in the
university, and the discipline commit
tee was instructed to investigate the
events of Thursday and to use all pos
sible means to prevent a repetition Of
anything similar to the depiorable oc-
currence.
1t is the firm intention Of the pres
ident and the dean to enforce the rules
adopted, andfno leniency will be shown
hereafter when hazing or class rushes
are INDUCED in.
The resolutions dep1ore the tragic
happening of Thursday night and ex-
press the belief that the shooting was
the direct outgrowth Of the class rush
Thursday morning.
The resolution set forth that stu
dents who engage in the rushes or haz-
ing have no proper place in the uni
versity and hereafter all applicants
before being admitted to the univer-
sity must pledge themselves not to en-
gage in such practices.
The resolution approves the action
Of the students association in con-
demning it.
The discipline committee is instruct
ed to investigate fully and to aid the
senate committee appointed to make
an investigation in every way that
aid may be extended.
