Mexican Regulars
Show Much Courage
in Battle of Lerdo
Charge Without Faltering Under
Heavy Fire and Dislodge the
Rebels from City.
From a staff correspondent


Ell PASO Tex, May 2.-(Special Corre-
spondence.)--A mining man who arrived
here today brought the first news to this
part of the country Of the federal victory
at Lerdo. The federals charged the city
Monday morning and after a brisk engage
ment lasting an hour and ten minutes,
which resulted In no casualties on either
side, both forces left the city. The fact
that there were no fatalities was due to
the ng-distance firing by the rebels and
to barr1cades which protected them from
the federal fire. The fight demonstrated
that the Mexican regular is to be reck-
oned with. Not a trooper faltered in the
perfect formation maintained all during the
fight.
The entry of the federal forces was an
answer sent in response to an appeal made
by a citizens committee. During Sunday
night dlssensions broke out among the
rebels Pablo LAWN, the insurrecto leader,
seemed to lose all control over his men
and eighty of the ringleaders, disa ppointed
at the loot orders, broke out in open
mutiny. With disloyal command LAWN
saw at once that in case of an attack no
hope of successful resistance could be
made.
The federals entered the city with bugles
pioWlng, hno gave chdse 10 aDout twenty
Of LAWNS men stationed as pickets. These,
however, reached the city in safety. The
federals advanced along the hlghroed in
perfect formation. Both wings charged
f,iriously in different directions. Al dis
tance OF 500 yards all dismounted and began
closing in on the main body Of rebels.
Great courage was displayed by the fed
eral soldiers. even the women camp fol-

EDWARD TTLDEN GOES FREE
Judge Petit Renders Decision in Illi-

JUDICIARY IS HIT A HARD BLOW
Court Holds that National Packing
Company Agent Need Not Appear
as Defendant in the Contempt
Proceedings

CHICAGO, May 6-(Special Telegram.)-
Judge Petit today in n decision that at
tackled the legality of the state investi-
cation into the election of William Lori
mer to the United States senate, dis
charged Edward Tilden, of the National
Packing company from any obligations to
appear as a defendant in contempt pro-
&C edings before the bar of the state SEN
ate of Illinois. His banking confreres
were also relieved OF responsibility to ap-
pear before the Helm investigating com
mittee. together with Tilden, with records
that might have been pertinent TO the
investigation.
Never in the history OF the state has
such a fatal blow been dealt the judicial
power Of the Illinois legislature by an
agent Of q department which the legis-
lature created
The Helm committee, after months of
labor, has but one chance OF reviving. This
was admitted by Attorney J. Healey, coun-
sci for the committee That is an appeal
to the supreme court, taken on the fixing
of costs against Sergeant at arms p. II.
Hatfield, who arrested the defendants,
when the senate first commended their
appearance
If the fight against the judgment of
costs Is carried to the supreme court, then
the entire case must be revived with the
possibility of a reversal OF the decision by
that body That would save the state
senate from the humiliation Imposed by
the rul'nl Of the county court Judge today

tion as illegal 1t makes highly possible
their development. The records of the
senate of the state may never bear one
word tending to show that the senatorial
toga of William Lorimer was purchased
for fixed sum of money.
The decision took nearly an hour to read
and included a quantity OF the verbatim
testimony taken before the Helm commit
tee at Springfield. 1t was seen from the
first few minutes reading that the Judge
was inclined to uphold the contention Of
the defendants attorney, Nathaniel C.
Sears, that the senate had not the right TO
force entry to the private accounts Of A
