Chihuahua. Mexico April 3.-Thlrty-
four rebels were killed and scores were
wounded In a clash between a detach-
ment of $50 federal soldiers and $50
insurrectos at Aldama Friday night.
The insurrectos are said to have
been shot down like rabbits in a run
ming fight following a surprise attack
by the federals. Diaz's soldiers declare
they lost only four men killed. two of
whom were lieutenants who led the
federals in the chase.
The rout followed an orgy which the
insurectos staged after they had
marched into Aldama without resist
ance early on HGiday.
ATTACK SURPRISE.
Not anticipating attack, their officers
issued invitations to a dance and then
began the killing of 90 head of cattle
announcing that they were preparing
the beef for the supper of 1000 rebels
encamped some distance south of the
city of Chihuahua.
At the dance both the rebel hosts
and their guests drank heavily, and
late in the night the insurrecto camp
was pitched in a grove near the edge
I of town. No rebel sentries were out
when the federals launched their at
tack, and few of the rebels had their
guns. They fled toward the town and
were shot down as they ran.
Among the rebel dead are Captains

and Alfonso Madero, who arrived in El
Paso last night presumably on a mis-
sion of peace
While maint aiming a complete silence
regarding the reason for their pres
ence here, the father and brother Of
the insurrecto leader intimated that de
velopments might be expected within
the next few days, and 1t is believed
they are here to await the arrival of
messengers from insurrecto chiefs
bringing the terms upon which they
will consent to a cessation of hostili-
ties. That these terms must be formu-
lated by the men in the field was de
clared by Alfonso Madero last night.
That the elder Madero's influence
will be strongly for peace Is the state
ment of those who claim TO know his
attitude. The father of the insurrecto
leader, IT is said. has never given the
movement his whole-hearted support
and would welcome the end OF the war
upon reasonable terms.

National Commission Has
Not Authority to AL
ter Circuit.
CASE is SENT BACK
Three-Eye Representatives Get
Together in Another Effort
to Settle Controversy.

After wrestling five hours
with the Three Eye league
problem the national commits
sion this afternoon opened the
doors of it's executive session,
admitted all club representa-
tives and newspaper men, and
August Hermann, speaking for
the commission said:
That the commission was
inclined to sustain its former
ruling, and, while it hoped that
the warning factions would
get together, and form 10
club league as a basis of ad-
justment, it had no authority
to make the paragraph pre-
senting that suggestion, man
datory.
THE commission" he said,
would not assume jurisdiction
as to the basis Of adjustment,
but urged that the club repre-
Z sentatives get together and
solve the question themselves" ."
Mr.. Johnson's Office was
turned over to the representa-
tives of the different clubs and
they went into conference.
President Tearney and R. f.
Kinsella reported that they had
full authority to act for the
southern clubs. M. H. Sextc-
on behalf of the northern clubs
asked Tearney If he and Kin
sella had authority to agree on
an eight club circuit as the
only way out of the difficulty.
Tearney replied in the aff1rma-
tive. And that seems to set
tie 1t.
The impression is, that the
northern clubs have won and
that the league will remain as
il is.

REASONS FOR. SUCCESS.

@ ELF-INTEREST is the basis Of personal success.
When several men are willing to combine their self
interest in an effort for their common success then you
have the basis Of organization success.
It is the self-nterest felt by every employee of an
institution that makes that organization smoothly.
The employe who has in mind his seinterest realizes
that if ne wastes material in his department he doing
something against his self-interest.
The employees who work to avoid every bit Of
waste in their departments are helping to make that
department money that it pay them wages.
That is way Of working for self-interest. The
ployes who wastefu and make the institution they
are working for lose money account Of waste are
simply working against raise in wages for themselves,
because if the business does not make larger profit
cannot pay any bigger salaries.
The employee who is working to do his part to help
the Institution he is with make profit is working for
his interest. If that institution makes money, it
will pay better wages than Institution that is simply
running from hand to mouth. 81: eee*S ~ :>##%@s
man in this city sometime ago said that he had
always lived from hand to mouth and as he grew older
the distance got greater. - a:.. ~:
The employe in any place or capacity who has no
ambition to succeed naturally has concern as to
whether the institution he is working for prospers
not He has no desire himself to prosper and always
lacks energy and therefore efficiency But the employee
who realizes that it is up to him to make his depart
ment pay his wages and that he must increase its
ngs in order for him to get raise in salary is always
desirable and invariably has energy and efficiency.
The employee who wants to get ahead and wants the
business he is with to advance could climb up great
deal faster if it did not take much of his time in
rectng the mistakes made by those working in the de-
partment with him who have particular desire them
selves to get ahead and are envous of every who
does advance.
