Safety Appliances Advocated.

Taking the position that there would
be larger percentage of accidents on
the poorly equipped roads than on
those properly supplied with safety
appliances, he argued that if all the
roads should be required to contribute
to common fund for insurance
against accidents the tendency woulG
be toward a better general equipment,
and. therefore. toward greater prOtec-
tion to employees. The better roads, he
thought, would force the poorer roads
to improve conditions.

El Paso, Tex, April achievement
by 500 rebels from the hills toward
Juarez at noon today marked what
Is believed to be the beginning Of
evolutions preceding the attack on
Juarez, which was slated for 8
o'clock.
There was a council Of war at Ma
dero's headquarters this morning,
when the rebel board of strategy pre-
sented determined plan Of battle
which was considered and accepted
by the insurrecto leaders.
There is every reason to believe
that Madero's guns will open on the
city the moment the time set for the
expiration OF his ultimatum to Dlaz

Indication of the feeling In 81
Paso was given here last night when
General Pascual orozco crossed the
American line and dined with hiG
bodyguard at the Hotel Sheldon.
Agents of the United States depart
ment of justice intervened, detained
Orozco and threatened to arrest him
and his followers.
No sooner did news Of the action
of the American officials circulate
throughout the town than large
mob gathered in front OF the hotel
and threatened a riot II Orozco were
Jailed. The government agents at
once conferred with the El Paso city
officials and decided to send 0rozco
back across the line. He and his
bodyguard were escorted to the inter-
national bridge, with the mob fol-
lowing and cheering the departing
rebel leader.
Before leaving General orozco
said:
II have no information other than
that the attack on Juarez will com
mence on scheduled time. We have
asked Navarro to surrender and he
has refused. We have also asked him
to fight outside the city in order to
prevent our bullets falling in FL
Paso. 1t is now up to the federals."
Sonora Madero, wife Of the pro-
visional president, arrived today in
San Antonio, where she will remain
until the revolt is ended.

Thud Heard Upstairs.

Now the office of the insurance de-
partment is located down on the
first floor and the office of secretary
of state is located upstairs-just the
floor above, and while the falling Of
the gilded ak was gentle, the thud
was clearly heard in this latter Of
fee 1t was distinctly heard by all
the deputies and clerks who served
under the late Secretary of State
Benson and who are now doing tenn
porary time under Secretary of State
0lcott, Governor Vests former cam
paign manager and his appointee.
In addition to being heard it revived
in their memory the fact that they
also as the Portland morning paper
| puts it were guilty at divers times in
the past of making indiscreet re-
marks" and as if in a dream they
saw visions such as a turkey has
about Thanksgiving time
When 0lcott was appointed secre-
tary of state humble "dopster" pre-
dicted that there would be a clean
ing out in. that Office and that they
would all come out of 1t like rats
from a sinking ship, and he still
clings fervently to that prediction;
and 1t may be that those who pro.
nounced the predictions "fit for the
discard" can see light in the case
of Throne which will give them a
clearer vision of what is to transpire
in time in the guillotine line in the
Office of secretary Of state.

West Remembered.

1t will be remembered that last
fall Oswald West ran for governor,
and incidentally, despite the predic-
tions of political sages to the con-
trary; that he ran hard enough to be
elected by an overwhelming and
crushing majority-pitifully crushing
to some. Clerk Throne is from
Roseburg and being interested in
political affairs as all clerks in the
state house are-they have falling
along that line-is said to have re-
marked in that flower named city
that Governor West was not straight
not alluding to him physically but
politically, and as the politician re.
members 1t, the word used was
CROOKED" A similar remark was
made in relation to his administra
ton as a political Official, 1t is said
and believing that West would b'
elected and that the time might come
when those aforesaid remarks Nigh
| be of interest and of use to him, th'
said politician put them down in hi
little red book, so that he would no
forget them. After West was elected
he read that little book and, amoni
the other items found, was that on
and he carried it in his memory un
! til the other day when it is said tina
Throne was requested to resign
Then he forgot it because he canno
afford to waste memory energy il
| storing it up longer for there ar
too many others that he must carr,
