NO ATTACK MADE ON JuAREz
Only Small Force Of Insurrectos in
the Vicinity.

Ell Paso, Tex, April 19.-Out of the
scores of conflicting rumors of firing
close to Juarez and reports that e
eral hundred i%nsurrectos are now at
Bauche, twelve miles south Of Juarez,
appears one concrete fact. This is
that there is no prospect of a battle
around Juarez for a day or two at
least.
Colonel M. Tamborel, commanding
the federal forces in Juarez, denies the
reports of firing in the vicinity of
Juarez. Half a dozen shots were fired
by American sentries near the Ell Paso
smelter FOR unexplained cause and
these shots gave rise to the reports
that the insurrectos were close to
Juarez and that a battle was immi-
nent.

"A ~homesteader in North Dakota,

bennett of the general land Office the
homesteader says:
Il don't know whether it is the law
of the United States or not, but in
North Dakota a deed transferring
property must be signed by the wife
as we'll as the, husband. My patent is
signed by President Taft and there.
fore l send it to you for his wife's
signature"
Commissioner bennett wrote to the
homesteader that he need not worry
about his title as Mr.. Taft's name to
the patent is all that the law requires.

formation.
Washington, April 19.-Canadian
reciprocity again was the subject OF
debate in the house, the third day of
the discussion and originally planned
to be the concluding day. 1t will not
be, however, for when the house con-
vened Chairman Underwood Of the
ways and means committee said so
many appeals for more time had been
made to him that the debate must be
prolonged at least another day.
II do not believe that we can con
clude the debate before Thursday"
said Mr.. Underwood. "Mr. Mccall"
he continued, ION the Republican side,
to whom l have allotted five hours of
my time, has not yet spoken, nor have
any of the Republican supporters of
the bill.
"Their arguments alone will take up
the greater part of a day and Mr..
Dalzell has not yet spoken. There are
others on both sides who wish to
speak, and l will close the debate. 1
zee no chance of getting the bill to a
vote before Thursday at the earliest"
Mccall to Answer Colleagues.
Mr.. Mccall of Massachusetts was
ready to take up the debate to answer
some of the arguments made against
the bill by his party colleagues. Rep
resentatives Kinds, Fordney, Lenroot
and Crumpacker.
Representative E. j. Hill of Con-
necticut, a Republican member of the
ways and means committee, opened
the debate. Mr.. Hill declared that the
agreement in no way threatened the
policy of protection. He produced re-
cent reports of the tariff board to show
that prices in Canada were practically
the same as in the United States on
all products on which the reciprocity
agreement reduces or wipes out the
tariff duty.
Mr.: Hill declared that the attitude
of some farming communities against
the reciprocity bill was based on
wrong information and presented fig
ures intended to show that the aver
age protection given the farmer was
greater than that given the manufac-
turer.
