D|Az TROOPS FLEE
FEDERAL ARMY, WORSTED IN
BATTLE, SENDS REINFORCE
MENTS TO JUAREZ.
MORE SOLDIERS EN- ROUTE
Rebel Leaders Delay May Preclude
Taking Of Border City--Reported
That Regulars Lost ITO Killed at
Blanche Fight.

Ell Paso, Tex-Amid the joyful
shouts of the populace, Colonel Raba-
go and his command Of 800 federal
troops entered the city of Juarez Sun
day evening without molestation by
the revolutionists who had threatened
to take the town.
The star of the insurrecto leader,
Pasqual Orozco, who was to occupy
the city O.. Juarez by sunrise Sunday
morning, appears to be on the wane.
His policy of delay has enabled rein
forcements to reach Juarez, and the
probability Of taking that city Is now
considered much more remote than
it was heretofore.
Other reinforcements, in the shape
of General Navarro's column, are en-
route from Chihuahua, and 1t is ex-
pected here that the federals will De
able to ho.d the city and that, know
ing this, the insurrectos will retire.
The net result in killed and wound
ed Of battle at Bauche between Oroz-
co and Rabago Is not known. The 1eo-
eral loss cannot be learned, but 1t was
reported ITO had been killed.
A Red Cross train returned with ZO
men and children refugees, picked up
near the scene of battle, and the off,
Gals reported they could not reach
the battle-ground because the federals
refused to recognize the Red Cross
flag.
The regular passenger train over
the Juarez division of the Mexico
Northwestern railway was ditched by
Orozco's force of insurgents in a small
cut at Buache, ten miles south OF Jua-
reg, Saturday night.

Elgin, Ill.-In a gas explosion at
the Wilburn house at Carpentersville
Monday Howard Mann and Adam
Oberst were killed and twenty others
injured, four fatally.
The hotel was wrecked. Carpen-
tersville is a small town six miles

Gas from leaky main is supposed
to have caught fire from a stove. The
guests fed in panic from the hotel
and there were many narrow es-
capes.
The defamation was terrific and the
air was filled for several seconds with
a burst of flame and flying fragments
of wood. The house was destroyed
and it was some time before search
of the ruins could begin.
The survivors Of those who had
formed the rescue party were fright
fully burned, and adjoining houses
we're turned into temporary hospitals,
while the injured were attended to by
all the physicians who could be sum-
moned.

A|RSH!PS TO GUARD
WAR DEPARTMENT WILL HAVE
MEXICAN BORDER PATROL
LED BY AEROPLANES.
ONE Is ALREADY ENGAGED
Army Officers Experience Much Diff
Guilty In Preserving NeutraIity-Be-
ieved Illegal Expeditions Can Be
Stopped by Aid of Aviators.

Washington.-The war department
Is about to establish an aerOplane
patrol along the Rio Grande river and,
for the first time in this country, avi-
ators will enter the military service of
the United States
So far as an air scout can dis
cover, General Hoyt, the commander
of the department of Texas, will soon
be in a position to determine the
facts as to the activities of the insur-
gents along the Mexican border.
AT present, owing to conflicting re-
ports, the army officers engaged in
maintaining neutrality find the task
difficult, and the troops are con-
tinually making wild goose chases
after military expeditions reported to
be crossing the Rio Grande, which
rarely materialize.
In the meantime, when the troops
are on these false scents, it is pre-
sumed that armed parties make their
way across the river at unguarded
posts.
General Wood, chief of staff; Gen.
eral Allen, chief signal officer, and
John Barry Ryan, president of the
United States Aeronautical Reserve,
held a conference Monday, and after
ward 1t was announced that the war
department has accepted the tender of
Robert Collier of one of his new
Wright biplanes, which is now in New
York, and this will be rushed to the
Mexican border by express and turned
over to General Hoyt. The reserve
is prepared to furnish half a dozen
other machines for military use at
short notice.
With that number of machines
soaring constantly over the crooked
channel of the Rio Grande and back
into the country where Illegal expedi-
lions may be organizing, 1t is believed
the military will be able practically
to establish an impenetrable patrol
along the border.

MILLIONS IN BIG LAND GRAB
Illinois Investigating Body Reveals
Vast Alleged lnroads on Waters
Fix Loss at $3.50, 0oo,o 900.

Chicago.-The state of Illinois has
been illegally deprived of thousands
of acres of land along the shores of
Lake Michigan and other waterways
at value of at least $250,000,000 by
large corporations and private inter
ests of the state. Chicago has been
the largest sufferer.
The Illinois Central railroad alone
has grabbed 400 acres in the city's
front yard and the attorney general
should sue to recover it's value and
perhaps revoke the company's charter
The Chicago river has been camped on
illegally from end to end by great cor
porations and business houses.
These are a few of the conclusions
reached by the Chiperfield committee,
which was appointed by the Forty
sixth general assembly to investigate
submerged lands in the state. After
almost two years of exhaustive labor
the committee has compiled it's report
which consists of Is large typewriter
volumes and which is accompanied by
two massive chests filled with maps.
photographs, documents and records
dating back to Indian days.
Bald statements and verbose
charges are not relied on by the COM
mittee to support the truth of their
findings. With all the care Of expert
lawyers preparing case for court the
legal questions involved have been
gone into and hundreds of pages In
the report consist Of supreme court de-
cisions, legislative enactments and
what amounts practically to complete
legal briefs.
And with no beating around the
bush or technical eQuivocation, the
committee makes the unqualified state
ment that the reclaimed empire stolen
from the people can be recovered,
Strong recommendation is made that
proceedings be started Immediately.
So comprehensive is the report IN
the belief of lawyers who have seen
it that any ordinary members OF the
bar could walk into court with 1t I'M
der his arm and turn the state or ILL

Of the human race in the future. At
