REPORTS OF A
FIERCE FIGHT
One Thousand Said to Have
Been Killed or Wounded
in Mexican Battle
THREE DAYS CONFLICT
AND DYNAMITE WAS USED

BY United Press Leased Special Wire
Ell PASCO. Texas, March 81
There is considerable anxiety here
and in Juarez today over the report
from Nogales, Mexico, that 500 TO
1000 have been killed or wounded in
fierce battle which has been raging
three days between Federals and in
surgents near San Rafael. and in the
destruction of San Rafael by fire.
No confirmation Of the report has
come to FL Paso and few details OF
the reported engagement are at hand,
but an officer in the Government
forces is quoted as saying that not
fewer than 1000 were killed and
wounded on both sides.
Rebels used Dynamite.
The report is that a revolutionary
force of 1900 under Colonels Garcia,
Cabral, Gandarilla, Villereal, Giren
and Manage advanced against San
Rafael from San Ures. Mexico. They
engaged a big Federal force after
having blown up a Touring mill on
the outskirts of the town. The dyna-
hitting started a confiagration which
is said to have spread 10 all parts Of
San Rafael, practically destroyed the
town.
The battle progressed while the
confagration was at its height, the
revolutionists so occupying the Fed
eral forces that they we're unable tc
care for several score of women and
children inverted by the fire. A
number Of these are said to have
periished.
The Federal force Of about 1900
commanded by Colonel Barron and
Colonel Oieda, was the same as that
which engaged the insurgents recent
4 ly at La Colorado. The final outcome
of the reported engagement is not
/ known.

An official OF the company said to-
day that the origin Of the fire was a
mystery. There was no fire near where
the blaze was started and the heat in
the room registered only about 75 de-

been caused by spontaneous combus-

Manhattan, Kan. March SIT may
give some comfort to the taxpayers
Of Kansas to see the fine returns from
the money they spend as compared to
the results of taxation in other states
with particular reference to education
al institutions. In the college year of
1e09-1O the university and the agri-
cultural college cost Kansas for all
purposes, 1854, 900. The two institutions
cared for 4.60S students at a cost of
SlSS per capita. The population of Kan
sas is $1,690,949. Illinois university, in
which is included the agricultural col
1ege' had 80 more students than the
two institutions in Kansas. But it
Should be remembered that Illinois has
nearly six million population. Illinois
paid 81 $4,000 in the year for its COM
bined institution, with 80 more students
than Kansas had in both institutions,
and the taxpayers paid 1874 a student
to educate them.
Ohio paid $932,OO0 last year for its
combined university and agricultural
college, but it educated only 3,275 stud
entS. or 1888 fewer than Kansas, al
though the amount spent on the in
situations in the two states was about
the same. Briefly, it cost Ohio $191 to
educate a student, whereas Kansas
Npaid 1888 student.
California, with it's agricultural col
lege and university combined, had 1854
fewer students than Kansas. The cost
of this education in California, for the
combined institutions was 81 ,625, 900, or
nearly double the cost in Kansas, and
1t cost California $3.50 a student.
The combined university and agri-
cultural college in Wisconsin cost that
state $1,771,0OO, but it educated only
4.947 students. and they cost s311

THE PERSONAL RECORD BUREAU
Rock Island Will Look Up History of
Men Employed by Lines.

A personal record bureau has been
established on the Rock Island lines in
conjunction with the pension bureau.
A former Cedar Rapids man, w. B.
Ross, is secretary.
The personal record bureau is a
system by which the record of each
man employed by the road in various
departm will be kept to give the
officials a thorough knowledge of the
ability and capacity of each employee.
It is of great benefit in determining
promotions and putting the employees
on pension list
All the officials are required to keep
a record of the character and length
of service of those now in the employ
or hereafter employed by the COM
pany. They are required to investigate
the record of applicants for employ
ment with foreign lines and system Of
fees and to report the information OBJ
tanned to the employing officer. They
are required to concentrate the present
record of such employees as are speci-
fled in the rules and regulations, re-
gardIess of the number of times or at
what point the individual has been in
the service of the company. The CO.
operation of employing officers and the
heads of departments with the per-
sonal record bureau will enable the
departm ent to insure the most salts
factory results in keeping the records
of the men, making promotions and
granting pensions.

What Is Pullman Car Porter
Employee or Passenger?
This Question Bothers Officers
of the Pullman Company.
HAVE TO PAY FARE?
But if Employees Work Onl,
Is Hours a Day.
other Items of General Inter.
est in Traffic World.

Denver, Colo, March 8.-Within
two weeks time the Pullman Palace
| Car company will have to decide
whether it will hereafter designate its
conductors and porters as employees
or passengers. That was the rumor
that has reached Denver and caused
the railroad operatives to do a lot of
talking and specializing.
| 1t appears that the Interstate Com
merce commission has given the
sleeping car company two weeks in
which to make answer in a suit now
| before them in which this demand
has been made. An interesting bit of
| gossip is that some of the railroads
are back of the prosecution. If the
company elects to declare the con-
| they will come under the operation of
| the 16-hour law. That is they will
not have to work longer than 16 hours
| in any one day.
If the company elects that the men
are passengers, then the railroads will
proceed to collect fares for them. This
would be very painful to the great
corporation that George Pullman
built, one of the best dividend payers
in the world.
If it is decided that the men are
employees, then the run will be cut
down to divisions. just as are the runs
on railroads. At present the conduc-
tors and porters sometimes are on
duty SO hours at a time. A man who
works that long is quite likely to be
disagreeable, so the public at least
will gain something by the decision.
if it goes that way. If they elect to
pay fares for the men, then it is like
ly the old system will continue. 1t is
probable that the company has enough
'-efficiency'' expert knowledge of the
two systems to decide which will be
the more profitable
