 REBELS CAPTURE ANOTHER CITY City of Sonora Is in Serious Danger
 q. CANANEA GIVES UP
Rebels Win Bloodless Battle and Fed erals Vacate City-Largest City in Northwestern Mexico
 May Soon Fall

Cananea, Sonora, Mex, May 13.-All Cananea tonight is noisily celebrating the occupation by the insurrecto army and cries of Viva cabral," and "viva Madero" fill the air. Cabral's men, hay ing eaten their fill at spreads set at every restaurant in the city, fraternized with the populace and every indica- tion is that business will proceed with out interruption or loss as possession of the town was gained by the insur- gent forces without casualties to either side.
 The federal garrison, under command of Colonel Chiapas, having surrendered with all the honors of war, filed out as the triumphant insurrectos marched into the town at 3:30 this afternoon. Mayor Arnold and all other local as well as federal officials accompanied the federal troops who, as the agree ment allowed, took with them all their arms and ammunition. They are en- camped without the town and 1t is ex- pected will take up the march to No- gales tomorrow.
 Jose Carmelo and Tomas Lopez Lin- arez, the peace commissioners sent out from the town, returned with the an~ nouncement that Juan Cabral, the rebel leader, had consented to their terms for its surrender Under those terms the garrison was permitted to march out with it's arms and ammunition and the civil officials were conducted safely be- yond the insurrecto lines.
 The insurrectos took charge at once and began formulating plans to or arrfn m
 Everything is peaceful here so far as American interests are concerned The shelter and mines are operating as usual.
 All last night a score of automobiles sent from Arizona border points carried women and children out of Cananea In anticipation of a rebel attack on that camp.
 Juan Cabral demanded the surrender of Cananea yesterday The federal garrf- son, consisting of 200 men under Mayor Arnold and 200 under Colonal Chiapas, who had just arrived from Agua Prleta, refused to surrender. Cabral then sent a courier to American Consul George Wis wal. advising that the Americans in the camp be removed to a safe place.
 Negotiations were begun to prevent a tattle and Cabral was urged to forego an attack because the principal sufferers would be Americans, who control the mines in the vicinity. When the confer ence broke up it was thought Cananea would be spared for the present.

Refugees Crowd Hotels

Bisbee, Ariz., May 13.-Bisbee's hotels were crowded today with refugees from Cananea, the last automobile load ar. irving at o'clock this morning. They encountered large bodies of rebels but were not molested. An order for addi- tional vehicles to bring out the remain ing women and children was counter manded today.
 The fact that the order for automo- biles was countermanded leads to the belief that Chiapas has surrendered to Cabral in order to save the city.
 Magdalena, State of Sonoro, Mex, May 13=Unless endorsements, hastening to his relief, arrive soon. Col. Pedro Ojeda, commanding the garrison at Hermosllo, consisting of but 200 men. must face a menacing situation. Only desperate resistance can prevent the capture of Sonora and the largest city in northwestern Mexico from falling into the hands of the insurrectos.
 To add to the difficulties of his sit uation the city Is poorly fortified. There are no surrounding trenches. To the southwest there Is a hill at the base of which are the barracks, in which the garrison Is quartered. Up the hill from the barracks Is the penitentiary and beyond that is the city water works. The hill Is defended only by two rapid fire guns. If the hill Is captured by the rebels the control of the water supply would fall into their hands. It is report ed that 2000 rebels are in the neighbor- hood 4SA6E fs
 Nogales. Mex May 13.-Juan Cab ral, who today captured Cananea from Colonel Chiapas, the federal command CT. has made demand for the sur render of Nogales in Sonora and his demand was refused. Cabral at once sent word he would attack Nogales early in the morning.
 It is said that Cabral has seized a train on the Naco division of the South ern Pacific and will have his men be- fore Nogales early tomorrow. The streets of Nogales, Sonora. are deserted. Tonight 120 families moved to the American side. as did all government and municipal officers.
 The Mexican federals are stationed in the hills outside of Nogales. Their mum Der is not known. United States troops are tonight patrolling the border street between Nogales. Ariz., and Nogales, Sonora.

TO PROTECT HOMES
FROM FORCED SALE
TrOm thursdays Advertiser.l

House bill number Ill, introduced by
Representative Kanekoa, and which
exempts the family homestead, up to
the value of $25O0, from danger of
forced sale, passed second reading in
the house yesterday, after a number of
amendments by the Judiciary committee
had been approved, the principal one
of which retains the provisions of sec
ton 1880 of the Revised Laws.
The bill is primarily to protect the
homes of those who are in debt from
being seized by creditors. The Judiciary
committee IS report was comprehensive
and, beside the amendments to the bill,
contained the following explanation:
"Your committee feels that our pres
ent exemption statute is inadequate.
This bill allows a man to retain his
home, up to the value of $4,000, even if
he becomes bankrupt. 1t is just pro-
lection to an unfortunate family. It
likewise is fair to the creditor as the
exemption does not apply to debts con-
tracted before the filing of the deelara-
ton of homestead. The bill has been
drawn up only after careful study
of the laws of some twenty States.
Your committee feels that it would be
mistake to repeal section 1890 of the
Revised Laws, but that this bill may
we'll stand with section 1880, relating
to exemptions"

Many Thousands Follow
Long Line Of
Hearses.
AN IMPRESSIVE SCENE
COrtegs Passes Fatal
Building Where the
Tragedy Was.

NEW YORK, April B,-one of the
largest and most impressive funeral
professions that ever marched through
the streets of this city yesterday follow
ed the fong line of hearses carrying the
bodies of the unidentified persons who
persisted in the great fire of March 90,
in which, one hundred and forty-eight,
the majority girls, met horrible death.
Seventy-fve thousand people, it is es-
timated, including hundreds of the rela.
tives of the dead girls, followed the
hearses to the cemetery, where, in
graves that will remain unmarked ex.
cept by common monument, were laid
the charred and mangled bodies, mutt
lated so that the nearest relatives could
not distinguish any identifying mark,
The route Of the funeral passed the
Wisner Company shirt waist factory
ON the East Side, where the FIRE victims
had fallen prey to the flames, due to
the criminal carelessness of someone.
Here, as the paraders filed past, many
scenes of anguish took place. Thousands
gazed upon the blackened walls of the
tenstory structure and cursed the ones
responsible for the absence Of fire es-
capes. Others knelt upon the pave
ment, where scores of girls had dashed
themselves to death, adding their tears
to the water standing on the asphalt
from the falling rain.

REG0MMENCEs ON
HILO BREAEWATER
(Mail Special to Tho Advertisor.)

(Mail Special to The Advertiser.)
HILo, April s.-Actual work on the
dumping Of rock for the extension Of
the brealwater started last Friday,
when the HulSihuld towed out several
scowloads Of rock to the present end
Of the huge artificial reef. The place
where the stone is now being dumped
is about thirty feet deep, and Lord 3
Young's contract calls for them to fill
in the substrueture of the extension
till within twelve feet Of the surface.
The new ietty from which the scOvs
are loaded is in working order, and
everything is going OF smoothly. The
Hukihuh is finely adapted for the tow
ing work, and her skipper, Young, is
well onto his Job.
At the end of the new rock jetty is
big derrick that lifts the trays Of
rock from the fiat cars and empties
them into the scows. The scows are
capable of carrying one hundred and
fifty tons of rock each trip, but so far
have not been loaded TO that extent.

PORK BARREL ABOUT
ON ITS LAST Lees
TWELVE MILLION DOLLARS ARE
TO COME OUT OF FIVE
MILLION REVENUE.

Within eighteen days Of the closing
of the 1911 session of the legislature
of Hawaii, that body finds itself fac
ing bills aggregating appropriations of
$9,24s, 10O.77 while facing it are the
bills aggregating $685., 900 which il has
already passed.
To this nearly ten million dollar
pork barrel, the legislature must apply
a pruning knife that will leave this
honored receptacle with aboIt eight
million dollars shy of its present fig
ure. AS Senator Fairchild stated yes
terday as he listened to tue scaare
'piling on few $4,000 amendments to
the circuit court bill, 1.-THE first polk
barrel wasn't big enough. They re
building a new one now.
About four or five million dollars is
all the revenue for the next period is
going to stand comfortably, and there
are always the delicious thrills attend
ant upon wondering what the counties
ore going to do with the taxing powers
which they viii have if the Fairchild
Tax Bill, now in the house, is enacted
into law.
The loan bill is exceptionally large,
the senate taking it up in committee Of
the whole yesterday and adding few
new items to it in manner bringing
forth recollections of the manner in
which it treated the appropriation bill.
This bill, being outside the revenue
limit, is being eagerly looked forward
to by the Legislators who found the
appropriation pork barrel cleaned out
by the time they came to make good
their promises to their constituency.
The bills pending in the senate ag-
gregate a demand on the revenue of
$7,747 ,539.13, while in the house, after
eliminating all the bills which are dupli-
cations of senate measures. there is an
additional $1,000, 561.64. The house is
otherwise little ahead of the upper
chamber, its bills now signed by the
Governor taking $2s5. 300 out of the
treasury, while the senate has only made
a demand of $95,50O.

SON OF BANDMASTER
VICTIM OF ASSAULT
(From. Thurgday,s Advertiger.l

(fr0m thursday - AuVeftlser.)
An argument over an electric motor
almost cost R. j. Berger, son of the
bandmaster, his life yesterday, when he
was struck over the head with a solder
ing iron by J. w. Kershner. The argu-
ment took place in Berger's electrical
works on Alakea street, Berger being
SO badly hurt at first that Deputy sher,
if Rose was sent for to take his "dying
statement"
1t was afterwards discovered that his
injuries were not as severe as at first
thought, consisting of a scalp wound
only. Kershner was arrested and
charged with assault with a deadly
weapon, being released on a $500 cash
bail.
According to the story gathered by
the police, the argument arose over the
ownership of the motor and rapidly be-
came heated, a local matchmaker at
tempting to separate them when he saw
that things were going too far. AT this
juneture Kershner picked up the iron
and threw it DIT Berger, catching him
on the top of his head and laying him
out on the floor.

scented preliminary report yesterday,
making many radical suggestions where
by conditions may be improved for the
present and the "supply" of girls for
the future greatly lessened
The investigators declare that want
of the necessities Of life, the craving
that all have for the simple luxurles
of today, the ignorance of many yong
girls of the terrible consequences Of
the first false step and the broken
promises of lovers are responsible for
much misery that they Investigated,
bit the greatest cause of all for the
life that leads it's followers into disease,
disgrace and the death of debauchery
is poverty, the lack of pay received by
working girls being the chief contrib
uting cause.
The committee recommends that all
children should be early instructed in
questions relating to the sexes and in
matters of elementary hygiene. spe-
cial attention is also called in the re-
port to the necessity or the part of
parents familiarizing themselves with
the habits and the doings of their chill

DEMOCRATS GET
BUSY AT ONCE

WASHINGTON, April 5.-The last
vestige Of Cannonism was swept aside
today, when the Democratic house, aid
ed by some of the inSurgent Repub-
lieams, adopted the new house rules.
Hereafter standing committees will be
filed by election Of the whole house
instead of appointment by the Speaker.
This was the particular phase of Can
nonism to which the insurgents most
strongly objected at the last session.
Another rule provides that "riders -
to appropriation bills will be permitted
when their effect tends toward re-
tTenchment.
A feature of the session today was
resolution introduced by Victor Ber-
ger, the Socialist, demanding a with
drawal of the United States troops on
the Mexican border, and calling for the
State papers bearing on the matter.
