SITUATION is SERIOUS.
Rabago Leaves Juarez for the South With
700 Soldiers.

Ell PASO. Tex. March 5.---Despite the
assertion by federal officials that the
city OF Chihuahua has provisions SUM-
cient FOR two months, El Pnso merchants
in close touch with the market conditions
of the Mexican city, assert that the iood
situation of Chihuahua is rapidly becom-
ing serious. -
FL Paso is the base OF supplies for all
imports into chihuahua. and merchants
here arc apprised that coffee is selling
in chihuahua at 81 pound and sugar at
81 pound. with other staples In proper
tlon.
The Mexican Central railroad appar-
emily is in complete control Of the insur-
rectos both north and south Of Chihuahua
and no supplies have passed the BLOCK
ade since the latter part OF February.
Passenger traffic is at standsttll from
.Tuare2 south. and the Wells Fargo Ex-
press company has instructed It's agent
at Juarez to receive no shipments for
points between Ciudad Juarez and Zaca :
lecas. a distance OF nearly thousand
miles.
The gravity OF the situation at Chi
huahua is indicated by the departure OF
n construction train tonight carrying
Colonel RabaCo and 700 federal troops
IL is stated that RabaSo's instructions
are TO clear the Mexican Central tracks
TO Chihuahua for the passage OF frelght
trains carrying supplies. His force VIII
make necessary repairs 10 bridges and
telegraph wires as they proceed.
Officials OF both the Mexican central
and Mexico Northwestern railroads de-
clare that both roads have been comman :
deered by the Mexican government and
are being operated under federal control.
This fact apparently has come to the
knowledge of the insurrectos who are
making strenuous efforts to destroy rail :
road property and Ia demoraiiZe traffic
conditions on both roads.

GET $500 FROM
FLOOR SWEEPING
SibIey Dental Company Re-
covers Platinum Of That
Value From Boards

That there is sometimes a small
fortune in the sweepings has been
demonstrated within the past week at
the plant of the Sibley Dental Manu-
featuring Company, at No. 1910 King
street, which is being dismantled The
building has been bought by the Ma
tional Real Estate Company, which is
now preparing to remove its ma
chinery and effects to its Philadelphia
plant
One of the products used in making
dental supplies is platinum, which is
valued at from $40 to $50 an ounce.
II is so fine that the dropping of the
minute grains Of it to the floor can
not be prevented in the manufacture
ing process. As a precaution to try
TO save as much of this stray platinum
as possible, the firm had two thick
nesses OF flooring installed.
During the last week or SO the ton
layer OF the flooring was removed and
from between the cracks sweepings
that contained about $500 worth Of
platinum were gathered. These sweep
ings or dross will be refined and the
precious metal thereby will be sen
arated and saved

BALTIMORE GETS
M. P. CONFERENCE
Church Union to be Discussed
at Big Meeting
In 1912

Baltimore has been selected as the
meeting place of the General Con-
ference Of the Methodit Protestant
Church to be held in 1912. After a
deliberation Of several days the execu-
tive committee, which met in Atlantic
City last week, selected Baltimore,
although several other cities were
after the meeting.
The conference will begin in May
and it is thought will be held in ST.
Johns Church, st. Paul and Twenty
seventh streets.
At the annual conference to be
held in April delegates for the Cen
eral Conference will be elected. II is
thought that the Maryland Conference
which includes Delaware, will send
or fourteen delegates.
The most important question to be
discussed at the conference will be
the union Of Methodism. A committee
Of nine from the Methodist Episcopal.
Methodist Episcopal South and Meth
odist Protestant churches, comprising
tWenty-seyen men, has adopted a pa
per on this subject which will be
read at the conference. The Meth
odist Episcopal Church will hold It's
General Conference about May, but
the Methodist Episcopal South will
not meet IN general conference for
three years. No matter what decision
is reached by the other two denomina-
tons, the question is not likely to be
finally settled until the conferences
Of the Southern church.
