Capt. P Sid Jones: "The convicts of the states all over America should be worked on the public roads.

SACRIFICE REVENUE
 BUT BE HUMANE

Alden M. Wallace, Travelling Salesman: "The state should be willing to lose small amount of revenue in the convict game provided good roads are secured. The convicts should not be made to earn the state any money no more than should the police department be instructed that their work is for revenue and that ar rests should be made with that end in view. Both propositions would be bad and would result in social chaos sooner or later, with the chances favoring the earl- fer alternative'

Government Claim of Victory Causes
DerisiOn at Aqua Prieta.
Ell PASO, Tex, March S1.-Advices to
the Herald from Magdalena, Sonora, by
mail declare that Mondays battle, reported
from Aqua Prieta as a victory for the fed
erals, was really victory for the rebels
Regardless Of an official dispatch from
General Torres that the rebels had been
annihilated tho Herald's correspondent at
Magdalena says the dispatch only caused
derision there, where the facts are known
He says the rebels ambushed the federals
at San Fafael instead of the rebels being
ambushed or taken unaware as officially
reported, and that the federals were driven
to take refuge In a mill at Santa Rosa,
where the rebels surrounded them. Then
reinforcements came out from Hermosillo
and the battle was raging on Wednesday
when the letter was written.
telegram sent by mail yesterday from
dermosilo by the Herald correspondent
to Nogales and from Nogales forwarded
this morning by wire, says of the fighting:
The battle that is being fought at San
Rafael is the most important engagement
Of the revolution In the state.
There are 700 revolutiohists and some
1000 federals. 1t is a stand-up fight. The
rebels knew the federals were coming to
work and they stood their ground ready
TO receive the attack
Last night the government here issued
bulletin claiming that in the battle sew
enty eight revolutonists had been killed
ana that the government had lost sixteen
killed and twenty-five wounded.
This morning fifty-six badly wounded
federal soldiers arrived here from the front
After three days OF fighting the govern

the news is bad for the government

Incident of the War.
A dispatch from Alamos, Sonora, tells
the following story.
"An incident of the revolution probably
the most horrible that has occurred up to
the present time, took place at the little
town OF Guazapares, in southwestern
Chihuahua, a few days ago. That place
was taken by about 800 revolutionists, led
by man named Loya, a miner formerly
in the employ of the Rio Planta Mining
company. The town surrendered without
fight, Eleven citizens, including the jefe
politico, Don Isidoro Armada, a member
of the prominent Sonora family OF that
name and Free Mason; the postmaster
the school teacher, the telegrapher and
seven others were placed in the jail build
ing and then deliberately shot down. The
bullet intended for the telegrapher how
ever, only grazed his scalp. inflicting a
slight flesh wound He fell to the floor
with the. others, one or two bodies falling
on top of him. The telegrapher, a mere
boy, remained perfectly quiet, hoping for
possible opportunity to escape. One of the
others moved and a bullet was sent crash
ing into his brain.
"A squad of revolutionists remained in
the building with the bodies OF their vic
tins all day and the greater part OF the
night, the telegrapher lying motionless
under the dead bodies Near daylight next
morning he managed to pull off his shoes
and escape from the building -Four days
later he reached Chinipas, about forty
miles to the southwest. The citizens Of
this place are daily expecting an attack
from the same murderOus band"
New boundary Dispute.
A startling result of the recent survey Of
the territory where Lawrence Converse and
Edward NJ. Blatt were captured by Mexican
troops, is the discovery that Senior Puga,
Mexican member OF the international
boundary commission insists upon his con-
tention that an old, abandoned and almost
oblterated channel and not the present
bed OF the Rio Grande, must be considered
tire boundard. Americans will be in a
position to claim thousands Of square miles
of territory to the south Of the Rio Grande
In fact there would appear to be almost
no limit TO the contentious which might be
set up by Americans, since there are
thousands of these old and abandoned
channels stretching for thousands OF miles
along both sides Of the Rio GTande.

BIRDMEN ON WAY.
Lieutenants EIlyson And Towers
Started Return Flight From Nor
folk This Morning.

Somewhere between Annapolis and
Fortress Monroe, Virginia, this aft
ernoon Lieuts. Gordon Ellyson and
John G. Towers, the Navy's hydro
birdmen, are trying to reach this city
in the naval hydro-aeroplane "Traid. I"
The start for Annapolis was made
from Fortress Monroe a second or two
after 1920 O'Clock this morning and
calculating on the time in which the
trip from here to the Virginia fort
ress was made last week, they should
have reached the aviation field across
the Severn from the Naval Academy
a few minutes before o'clock.
However, at 2. 80 O'Clock this after
noon the queer looking craft had not
been sighted and the opinion was
growing that the two officers had come
to grief in some way with their en-
gine.
The trip going to Bockroe Beach
from Annapolis last week was made
in two hours and twenty-seven min
tes flying time. After lying s'over in
Buckroe Beach for the night, the trim
was continued over to Fortress Monroe
the following day. Some slight en-
gine trouble was experienced in this
trip and a new engine part was ship
ped from the aviation field here to be
used in today's return trip.

GARAGE BURNED DOWN.
Former Mayor Douw Loses Building

Sunday Morning Fire.

Z That even while in its own little
"stable" an automobile is not only
as "cantankerous" but fully as dan
gerous as an old-fashioned Missouri
mule, was proven to former Mayor
John p. Douw yesterday morning
AS the result of his experience, the
former chief executive of the city
narrowly escaped having his eyebrows
aud other hirsute adornment singed,
and is this morning minus an auto
and garage and has wholesome re-
spect for spark plugs, gasoline and
electricity.
1t was while working with his
Franklin automobile yesterday morn
ing preparatory to "cranking up" for
a spin, that Mr.. Douw found thers
was something wrong with his engine.
Taking off the hood and making one
of those Ito the spectator) interest
ing Investigations, Mr.. Duuw finally
located the trouble in his batteries.
With the crankiness of all automo-
biles, this one refused to start or give
spark" at first.
Suddenly, however, the connection
cleared and there came a spark
too big a one. The gasoline fumes
about the engine went off with a
puff" and before the owner of the
engine knew where he was Eat" the
whole interior of his garage in the
rear of his yard on Murray Hill, was
a mass of flames.
An alarm was turned in and the city
fire department quickly responded,
while in the meantime a bucket bri-
gade formed to help extinguish the
flames. Nothing could be done, how
ever, because of the highly inham-
mable nature of the matter that was
ahout, and the whole building, with
all of its contents, including the auto,
was completely destroyed.
Mr.. Douw estimates his loss at
about $3.50 with about $400 insurance
placed through Mr.. Guy Thompson.
