First Fight Started
Without His Order,
Is Madero's Charge

Ell PASO, May 9.-General Madero
and his lieutenants charge that 1t was
not by their orders that yesterday 8
fight took place at Juarez, but against
those orders. Madero declares he tried
In vain to check his men after the bat
tie had once opened, but failed, because
their anxiety to fight, long suppressed
because of the armistice, would be de-
MED no longer. ..
The firing lasted all night, and so far
as could be ascertained today the cas-
ualties of the insurrectos and federals
are about thirty dead and sixty
wounded, with five people on the Ameri-
can side of the line killed and at least
twelve wounded.
One thousand American troops are
massed on the border keeping the
crowds back. They are ready at any
moment to respond to orders from
Washington.
Two Americans were killed near the
Santa Fe bridge about o'clock last
night. One of them Is supposed to have
braska, and the other. r. H. Ferguson
of San Francisco. The names of the
three others killed have not been learn
ed. Glen Chesman, OF Shreveport, La.
Mrs Joseph Moreland, Edmund Heaton
and Louis Vfllalobas, OF El PaSo, were
among those wounded.
Confusion reigned In the main insur-
recto camp throughout the day. Orders
for a general attack were given. but
were countermanded.
AS the bullets began to fall in the
streets of El Paso, Colonel Steever, In
command of the Fourth United States
Cavalry, sent couriers to General Ma
dero and General Navarro protesting In
the name of the President against the
way the bullets were coming across the
border.

No young woman, in the Joy of

Battle Report Stlrs
Widest Excitement
In Mexican Capital

MEXTrO CITY. May 9.-Mexico City
is in a furore of excitement over the
reports of the fighting at Juarez. 1t is
feared this is but the prelude TO wide
spread fighting in all parts of the coun-
try and probably to an attack on the
capital itself.
Especial uneasiness Is caused by the
reports that Americans have been killed
at Ell Paso. This has caused appre-
hension among the Americans here for
the reason that President Tafts state
ment relative to intervention is taken to
mean that Americans need expect no
helm from their government and that
billings will 90 on under the assurance
from Washington that there is to be no
movement of. American troops across
the border. The trains WHICH are
leaving are crowded with foreigners.

Hosiery Suggestions
There is a stocking on the market
especially designed for, the stout wo-
man which is Of pure thread silk with
mercerized Isle sole and tops, that
has extra wide knees and tops and
sells for S1.35.
Very practical and satisfactory are
the silk boot" stockings, with the
soles and entire upper part Of Isle.
Hosiery Of vivid shade,-emerald
green, cerise, royal purple, crimson
is permissible for evening wear, but
black or brown continues most desir-
liable for ordinary use.

soft satins, challies, worsteds and
crepes are therefore favored mate
rials,-with chifons, marquisettes,
voilles and veilings as over draperies.
A very new arrangement is the wide
side-ple> ted jabot, attached to the
middle front or right side OF the fash
ionable lingerie waist, and pinned over
to the left, crossing the entire front
Of the waist. This is renewal OF

ter, in both design and coloring.

stricted to one shade so that the Slip

are made with q peplum effect, to be
worn outside Of the skirt. Others,
again, have very wide folded satin
girdIes, designed to be worn outside
the skirt belt. These waists are
sometimes made with the outer drap-
cry and girdle separated from the
lining, which slips underneath the
skirt belt, while the outer material

Draped and yelled blouses will be as
widely worn as ever this winter

waists are designed for afternoon and

Sleeves are, for the most part,
three-quarter lengths,-and styles are
well divided between the kimona or
seamless shoulder and the set-in, or
scanned variety. Some Of the new
sleeves are smooth over the shoulder,
in kimona lines,0and with a pulled
section attached few inches below
reminding one OF the sleeves Of the
basques and jackets Of the 1850 days.
Strictly tailored waists have often
full length sleeves Of the set-in vari-

ennial style, with which the practical
woman could hardly afford to dis
pense.
With long coats so fashionable this
season, the separate waist and skirt
will find a yet larger field Of useful
ness,-and designers and makers have
provided some unusually chic styles In
both garments. Separate skirts, Of
course, follow the general lines preva-
lent in suit skirtings. They are Of the
same width and much the same cut
plain gored models, and models with
pleats let in at the sides from the
knee down. There are also q few
skirts with hens slashed, to show the
foot and ankle. This is, however, an
extreme style, and more popular ar
rangement Is the simulated slash,
with a contrasting piece Of fabric In
troduced in a triangular fold beneath
the sIashed hem.
The raised waist line continues pop
liar In skirts, the height varying with
inc taste Of the wearer. Many skirts,
however, are contrived in the regular
way with a band at the waist, to be
worn with a fancy belt, or belt of
the skirt material. This style Of

He took Hillard to the station, asking
Prior to accompany them. Hillard said
he had fired at Prior because the latter
had followed him, and he was afraid he
intended to hold him up. Prior told the
police that Hillard's lady friend had
formed a warm attachment for him since
he started to work in a wood and coal
