D. A. r. NOTES.

There are none so blind as those who
will not see," Mrs. Scott said yesterday,
when several Daughters mentioned the
infrequency of the meetings of the ma
tional board Of managers. Mrs. Scott
stated that she had cut these board meet
ings down for several reasons, but prin-
cipally for economic reasons She stated
that four board meetings a year. one
each quarter. are sufficient for the trans
action of business. and that more fire.
quent meetings only add to the expenses
OF the board members. especially those
who must come from half way across
the continent to be present.

Remedial Legislation.

ton OF the American flag ts a declara-
ton made by w. 8. Albert OF this city

luton held at the New willard Hotel

Mr.. Albert urged the members of the
society to take the matter up in their
home states. and endeavor to influence
Congress to take some action. He had
several illustrations In which the nag. or
rather a representation OF the flag. was
used In q way that he thought 1t shovM
not be.
One OF these was as a decoration OF Q
paper napkin. Mr.. Albert declared that
one member Of Congress who had been
approached regarding further restriction
OF tho use OF the nag had said that he
didn't care IL the nag was wrapped about
hams and sent to all parts of the world"
Mr. Albert thought that since the Con
gress Of the United States had adopted
the present nag 1t should use its power
to limit the use for decorative and other
purposes wherever 1t might be desecrated.
No action was taken by the assembly.

Daring Band of Insurrectos
Fires Aqua Prieta Station

| AACA PRIETA, Mexico. April 10
Shortly after daylight today daring
band of insurrectos numbering only a
half dozen or go stole into Aqua Prieta
and set fire to the Nacozari railroad sta
| ton. which was destroyed with its valua-
| BILE contents. The federals fired upon the
| invaders, and two or three of them were
killed.
Five loaded freight cars also were
burned. The freight depot was filled with
goods of every description. including
costly mining machinery. supplies and
provisions which had not been moved
over the Nacozari railroad because of the
vurning of bridges south OF Aqua Pr1eta
No Water for Fire.
Omcials Of the railroad rushed a switch
engine into the freight yards. and as
many cars as possible were shifted out
Of danger. There was no water for hre
fighting in Aqua Prieta.
Whether the men who fired the depot
had been hiding under it since the evacu-
alton yesterday or had dashed across the
line from the American side is not known.
Mexican federal soldiers carried sew
eral dead on blankets from the ruins OF
the depot to the bull ring.
These are believed to have been the
bodies OF rebels who applied the torch
or OF refugees who had been hiding In
the building and were entrapped by
soldiers who rushed on the scene. The
column Of insurrectos which was
swinging around into the Nacozari val
ley when darkness fell last night could
not be seen today. Neither had the
south Of the mountain pass leading
toward Cananea advanced into the Sui
phur Springs valley along the Ameri-
can line. 1t had either gone into camp
In the pass or continued to the west

Traffic Is Paralyzed.

Passenger service between Torreon and
Durango has been interrupted for six
days and there is no immediate prospect
Of resumption OF train service.
Traffic is likewise paralyzed east Of
TorreOn. but an attempt will probably be
made to ruin train to Ciudad Porffrio
Diaz over the main line Of the Mexican
International tomorrow or Friday, when
the bridge will have been repaired, unless
the insurrectos interfere.
This is not improbable, as the rebels
have served notice that they win attempt
