London-In an interview here one
of the leaders of the British expedi-
tion which has been making excava-
tions at Jerusalem, emphatically de-
MED charges of theft of ancient treas
ures. "All the relics we found" he
said, "have been left in the hands of
the Turkish government" One result
of the excavations, he said, was the
discovery of absolute proof that the
ancient City of David was not on
Mount Sinai but on Mount Orphel. He
said the work had been carried on
with the consent of the government.

Washington, May 9.-Farmers from
the Canadian border states, supported
by those from states farther removed
made protest today to the senate fin
ance committee against the Canadian
reciprocity bill. They were preceded
by delegation of manufacturers OF
book paper, who likewise objected to
the bill.
One witness today referred to the
potash lands in Idaho.
"They have all been withdrawn
from entry" said Hepburn, of that
state.
"If they had not been, the trusts
would have them gobbled up long be-
fore this time" flashed Senator La
Toilette.
Hepburn retorted that the govern
ment's course had the same effect as a
trust, to which La Toilette replied
that the farmers did not object to that
kind of trust.
Ex-Governor N. J. Bachelor, of
New Hampshire, master of the Ma
tional Grange, denounced the bill as a
violation of the pledge of the national
platform of 1908 to maintain protec-
tion to the country's industries equal
to the difference in cost of production
at home and abroad
Are cattle, sheep and hogs, wheat,
oats, butter, eggs and potatoes con-
trolled by trusts?" asked Bachelor
of the Democratic senators, as he re-
ferred to the Democratic platform.
:" If not, why put them on the free
list, instead of on a revenue basis, as
your platform demands?"
Bachelor presented tables to show
that articles used by the American
farmer bore an average tariff tax of
from 20 to 35 per cent more than that
paid by the Canadian farmer. He
from this that the American
farmer could not compete with the
Canadian on an equal basis. Robert
Eaton, master of the Illinois State
Grange, and w. N. Giles, secretary
for the New York State Grange, both
warned congress not to discriminate
against the farmers.
you'll hear from US farmers if you
do, )" said Mr.. Eaton.
Lower the tariff equally, if too
high, said Mr.. Giles, "but do not
against the farmer. We
are going to hold somebody responsible
if this bill passes.
"That will be the president, for he
the treaty." suggested
Senator Bailey.

Later-Fire threatens to wipe out
the city of Juarez, and the rebels have
renewed their attack upon the Feder-
ais, who are still barricaded in
churches, the custom house and other
buildings.
The Mexican Northwestern freight
depot, the Mexican Central passenger
depot and the city market place are
burning. The whole town of Juarez
seems to be in flames.
Red Cross physicians have returned
from the insurrecto stronghold, having
been informed that the battle would
be renewed. Five physicians of this
city have telegraphed President Taft
asking for an appropriation to estab-
lish Red Cross hospital for the insur-
recto and Federal wounded soldiers,
also to take care of people who have
been hurt by bullets from the other
side of the international border.

Washington, May 1O.-Two resolu.
tions for important Investigations
were agreed to by the house of repre-.
sentatives today.
A investigation of the Postoffice
! department, proposed by Saunders, of
Virginia, to determine whether politi-
cal influences were operating in the
department, whether the employees are
discharged for political reasons and
covering other features of postal oper-
ations was authorized by the adoption
of one resolution.
The other, that of Hardwick, of
Georgia, provides for a sweeping in
vestigation of the American Sugar
Refining company to determine what
influence it has had or is having on
the prices of sugar or the control Of
competition.
Representatives of the farming in
terests of the country appeared today
before the senate finance committee
to oppose the Canadian reciprocity
bill. 1t was contended that the agree
ment, unaccompanied by a free-list
measure, was a direct blow at the
farmer and without benefit to the con-
sumer. Representative La Toilette
today introduced bills appropriating
$3.50, 900 each for public buildings at
Ellensburg and Wenatchee, Wash,
where the government now has sites,
and the same sum for a building and
site at Colfax.
Nine hours of continuous pounding
by the Republican minority of the
house of representatives failed to
make change in the first Democratic |
tariff bill-that placing on the free
list agricultural implements, meats
and many other articles.
The bill passed the house by a vote
of 236 to 109, the Democrats voting
solidly and mastering "a Republicans
with them.
This came after the Democrats had
voted down or ruled out of order more
than 100 amendments and had demon
strated again that the Democratic
majority was compact Iand smoothly
working machine for the eactment of
legislation Mann, the minority lead
er, offered amendment after amend
ment, but those that were not ruled
Out of order We're cheerfully voted
down by an almost solid Democratic
vote. An attempt by Mann to recon-
nit the bill to the committee on ways
and means was tabled.

FIERCE BATTLE is FOUGHT.
Rebels Control Most OF Juarez, But
Federals Do Not Give Up.

Federals Do Not Give Up.
El Paso, Tex, May 1O.-What was
perhaps the fiercest battle of the Mex
lean revolution was fought at Juarez,
across the Rio Grande
The rebels claim the town tonight,
and actually control the more terri
tory, but the position of the Federal
forces is extremely well fortified.
Tonight both Federals and insurg-
ents are resting on their arms ready to
resume at daybreak.
At least five persons have been
killed on the American sideSof the line
since the skirmishing began yester-
day, and about Is wounded, while the
loss on the battlefield is variously
estimated at from 80 to &C dead on
both sides and about rs to 100 wound
ed. Fifteen Of the insurrecto wounded
already have been brought to the
American side, but more are believed
to be lying far within the town.
General Navarro at 7 o'clock agreed
to stop the firing while the insurrecto
wounded were being removed. The
Federals have adequate medical facil-
tiles and are caring for their wounded
within the town.
All day long the battle ragged, with
the insurrectos swarming through the
streets of Juarez and meeting the
heavy fire of the Federas with equally
vigorous volleys of musketry.
The rebels are scattered. In battle
formation they probably could storm
the Federal strongholds, as they appar-
emily consist of just six places-the
barracks, the church, the theater, the
schoolhouse, a hotel and the custom
house. But the insurrectos suspect
that detachment Of nearly 300 Fede-
rails with a machine gun is concealed
somewhere in town and they are hesi-
tating to advance too close for fear of
rear or flank attack.
The rebels forced the fighting today
in the face of deadly fire from Fed
eral machine guns. They dared not
gather in too great numbers because
the artillerymen of General Navarro
many times demonstrated the accur-
acy of their range, while they shelled
adobe houses behind which the insur-
rectos had sought protection half
mile from Juarez while skulking along
the river front General Navarro also
is said to have mined most of the
houses in Juarez, and the insurgents
are naturally reluctant to occupy any
Of them in force.
Many feats of bravery on the part
of the insurrectos were plainly visible
from the American side of the line
and in street fgting they more than
held their own.
The sun was hot and late in the day
a fire started by the insurrectos filled |
the streets with clouds of suffocating
smoke. Tonight flashes of light from
the ruins gave the rebels an occasional
view of the church where the Federals
are cooped up, and the cracking of
rifles followed each such glimpse.

WHY vANDERGRIFT

The Kansas Journalist Of kcokuk

Fred yandegrift, the dean of the

And there's a reason. Before engag-
ing in the newspaper business as a

in the Galena district He had a
pretty tough man working for him and
he was afraid of him. One day Van
told an old friend !. r. Mitchell, now
auditor of the Santa F'e. who was a
miner himself al that time, about be
ing afraid of the fellow.
why don't you carry a revolver
asked Mitchell.
q haven't any, replied Van.
Whereupon Mitchell handed him an
old-fashioned derringer and told him
to carry ii.
A few days afterwards Van Went
up TO Atchison to visit his folks. He
took the pistol along, carrying it in
his right trousers pocket. While
standing on the street talking with
some one he damned his hand down
into his pocket ard unconsciously be
gan fooling with the revolver. 1t went

BURLINGTON WILL
SEND DELEGATION
Teachers Meeting in keokuk Next
Month is Attracting Much
Attention.

Burlington Hawk-Eye: Burlington
is going to send a big delegation to
the seventh annual session of the
southeastern Iowa Teachers associa-
ton, which is to be held at Keokuk.
Thursday, Friday and Saturday, April
6, Z and s. In the early days of the
association meeting was held at
Burlington. The attendance is usual
~ quite large and great interest is de-
veloped. The program for this SEES
sion is very voluminous one. Per-
haps, il that program We're to be cut
down by 80 per cent, the people who
attended the meeting would get more
good out of the same. 1t looks as il
a committee of teachers or club mem
bers had made out a program of a
course OF study for whole year. in
stead OF three days meeting. And
surely it is not the intention to make
those three days of meeting so strenu-
GUS that the teachers will return to
their homes completely tagged out,
and that the only thing they will re-
member is that they became very
tired.
There are several Burlingtonians on
the program. Miss Esther Jacobs
will discuss Teaching the Living Ian
