Ell Paso, Tex, May 12.-Typhus in
its most virulent form broke out to-
day in the Mexican federal hospital
at Juarez and already five Diaz SOL
diers are suffering from the disease.
AS the form of typhus discovered
is of the most epidemic type, the dis
covery has created panic here, hun
dreds of American having carried
away articles of clothing worn by
the federals as souvenirs of the
Juarez attack.
The Ell Paso board of health and
the United States authorities are
seizing all clothing worn by the fed
erals at the international bridge and
are burning it as fast as seized. The
typhus cases have been isolated, and
every means. is being taken to pre-
vent the spread of the disease. There
is admitted to be grave danger
through the crowds which will
stream across the river into Juarez,
Drawing the disease in their curios-
ity to visit the scene of the battle.
Much alarm was felt in Juarez last
night that the federal command OF
Colonel Ragabo had arrived and
were opening the attack. 1t was
found, however, that the firing was
only a discharge of rifles by some

AUTO LOOKS LIKE
1T NEEDED A BATH

An auto that is making trans
continental tour across the country
arrived in Salem yesterday after
noon. The dirty appearance of the
machine in general, an American flag
hoisted at full mast back of the rear
seat, and thousand and one small
stickers of all kinds pasted all over
the auto attracted the attention Of a
small crowd while the machine was
resting" in front of the Hotel Ma
rion.
1t is a 30-horse power Warren
Detroit car, in charge of w. A. Som
merville, with G. G.. Bollinger as
chaeuffer.
The machine has already covered
ZOO miles, having started at Detroit
and Travelled over the southern route.
On its homeward journey it will
go through Washington, British Co
lumbia, Canada and. then to De
trrit.

representative of the water company,
however, turned this down with
out question. AS no franchises

Another street rumor has 1t that
a syndicate is being formed to buy
the plant and bring in water from

at Mehama, where the Breyman es-
tate owns a valuable water right, and
by combining the two make a very
valuable property. The 30-year fran
chise, with a gravity system, In a
growing city, would make property
worth three-quarters OF million,
and is q very tempting proposition
for promotion. This plan will have
the backing of big banking interests
at Salem and Portland that are seek
ing permanent investment at low
rates of income,. and may be put
through any day. All this talk shows
great interest in the Salem situation,
and as these interests are very active
and depend on no action of a city
council and mayor, will be pushed
with all the vigor of self-interest on
the part of promoters. All these re-
ports show the situation Is not dead,
as some seem to think.

Rabago today was reported at Tar

from Mexico City. He probably will
return to Chihuahua and fortify that
city against the expected rebel at

1t is reported that Orozco and

corning the monetary value of our
property. And during all this time
we have been prevented from prop
erly conducting the development Of
our property, because Of the constant
assurance that the city was ready
to close on the transaction.
Many statements have been made
thai the distributing system of the
water plant was inadequate for its
purposes. Many people have believed
this erroneous charge, not from any
actual knowledge of the conditions,
but because Of its repeated iteration,
We now have more miles Of pipe per
thousand water-takers than any other
city in the United States. This is
caused by the widely distributed
character of the residential portions
OF Salem, and by the long stretches
of unoccupied property which our
mains have to pass through in order
to reach Isolated additions to the
city In the next few years these un-
occupied tracts will be filled in and
water will be taken without the ex-
pense of building the mains. We are
today furnishing sufficient water and
the distributing mains are of suffi-
cient capacity to supply a town, un-
derstanding the proper use Of wa
ter, of $4,000 people. This refutes
the statement that the distributing
system is underbuilt.
The statement has also been made
that the price was excessive; and
this assertion has been taken up by
every committee which has inter
viewed us In this matter, we have
been guided by the judgment Of our

The subject Of public ownership Of
the water plant Is not dead but Is a
very live question. Just what will be
done next no one knows. The prop
osition to invoke the public utilities
act to secure better service and purer
water does not create much enthusi-
asm, as most such enterprises only
involve the property in litigation,
and the citizen is left holding the
sack. The good qualities Of Salem
water are known to but few people,
while the bad reputation has become
widespread. A Salem man who was
In Dallas yesterday says: Dallas
people have water from pure noun
tain stream, and hold their noses
when in Salem, and say unkind
things about Salem water This Is
only sample, and nothing but public
ownership will ever give our city a
certificate Of character. The reputa-
tiOn for having an impure water sup
ply cannot be eradicated by the ac-
tion of the Railroad Commission, and
the bad name and reputation given
the present source Of supply can only
be wiped out by the most thorough
going and heroic measures.
More RumOrs AhOat.
One persistent rumor that Is
afoat is to the effect that President
Charles A. Park is going East in a
few days to make arrangements to
try to sell the plant to private capi-
talists. The reincorporation in Ari-
zona was step preparatory to this
being done, and their attorney, John
A. Carson, when seen today, declined
to make any statement, but did not
deny that Mr.. Park was going East
to enlist private capital, but whether
for extension or forming a larger
capitalization he would not say. 1t
Is not known that the water company
property has ever been offered for
sale to anyone but the city, but 1t Is
known that corporate interests have
tried to get an option on the plant.
That it can be sold on its showing of
30-year franchise and increasing
earnings there Is little doubt in the
minds of the best fnanciers in the
city, and this is the main reason why
the company will make no further
concessions to the city.
Corporation Influences.
In a general way several corpora
alton influences have made themS-
elves felt in opposition to public
ownership. AS a rule the corpora
tion lawyers and lobbyists do not ia
vor public ownership, While The
journal is not at liberty to mention
names at present, 1t IL known that a
corporation representative made a
proposition to a representative of the
water corporation that II he would
consent to kill the bill which the
council passed they would try and
put through the engineers original
appraisement. The bill that passed
the council carried $330,000, and
the betterments since May 8, 1909
while the original estimate of the
three engineers, as arbltrated, was
$407, 900, and to put this through q

COMMITTEE PUTS
QUE TUs ON PLAN
FOR Annexation

ton to Make Canada Part

WASHINGTON, Feb. Ito offset
the Canadian annexation talk which
the administration feared might affect
the reciprocity agreement the House
committee on foreign affairs today, by
a vote of to 1, reported adversely on
the resolution introduced yesterday by
Representative Bennett, of New York,
for the opening of negotiations with
Great Britain in looking to the annexa-
tion of Canada
Mr.. Bennett was the only member
of the committee who voted for the
resolutions, and the committees action
followed conferences of Chairman Fos-
ter. of the committee, and Acting
Chairman Mccall of the ways and
means committee, with President Taft
today.
One of the Bennett resolutions asked
the President to report to the House
for its information all the facts con-
cerning any negotiationes now pending
with the Canadian or British govern
ments, and also whether any negotia-
tions are now pending looking to Cana
dian annexation. The other resolution,
a concurrent one, requested the Presi-
dent to enter upon and to prosecute
from time to time such negotiations
with the British government as he may
deem expedient for the annexation of
the Dominion of Canada to the United
States.
Chairman Tawney, of the appropria-
tions committee, yesterday suggested
to Chairman Foster of the foreign af-
fairs committee that the committee be
called together and hear Secretary of
State Knox With a view to meeting the
annexation talk. The meeting was
called, but it was deemed unnecessary
for Mr.. Knox to appear.

the paper into a large envelope by
