over 100 TROOPS
KILLED IN MEXICO
INSURGENTS TRAP SOLDIERS
INTO MOUNTAIN PASS.
The Insuroents Lose but Five-Rebels
Behind Rocks Pour Steady Fire
Into the Troops.

presidio. Texas.-More than 100
soldiers were killed in a three days
battle between the federals and insur-
gents in the mountain passes between
the federals and insurgents in the
mountains between Ojinaga n Gu
chile Parade.
Two hundred soldiers under Col.
Dorantes, with two machine guns,
have gone to the rescue, but these
troops are also engaged
The government troops were caught
in a trap and were literally moved
down by the storm of bullets wnicn
swept their ranks from three diner
ent directions. The insurgents occu'
pied the cliffs and mountains, and the
soldiers were in the road with only
one way of escaping, and that guard
ed. OF the 200 men who went into
the pass only forty escaped as far as
known.
The battle was the most severe
fought during the present trouble. and
later deports indicate that the FED
eral soldiers are retiring slowly to
their fortified camp at Ojinaga, press
ed on every side by the rebels.
The road winds through a narrow
canon forming a "cul de sac,' into
which the government troops march
ed. When all were in the pass the in
surgents swept down the mountain
side in the road behind them and the
firing began. 1t is believed that abou
200 insurgents were engaged. 1hey
lay behind rocks and poured a steady
fire into the troops.

DIX TAKES HELM
FOR TWO YEARS
Democratic Governor Prom
ises Rigid Economy.

Albany, Jan. 2-DeclarinS his unalter-
able determination to compel the most
rigid economy in the business conduc,
Of State affairs. John Alden Dix to-day
was inaugurated governor of New York
State for two years.
F'lanked by his associates on the State
ticket and members of the legislature
Of the same political faith. he made a
striking. dignified figure as he stood on
the temporary platform in the assembly
chamber and faced a battery Of 1000
eyes and Q half lf-dozen hashlight cameras
leveled to take measure of the man upon
whom the hope Of the Democracy must
depend for the next two years.
In his eyes was the CLEAN Of sincerity
as he made his pledge to consecrate his
official power to the obliteration of what
the Democrats called the wreckage Of the
State government left by Charles Z.
Hughes. the last Of six successive Re
publican governors.
The governor declared that .'in spite
of the strictest application Of vigorous
and honest and sensible business methods
it may be necessary to impose a direct
tax in addition to the indirect taxes from
which the great bulk Of the income Of the
State is now derived
Unde: leaden skies, in a misty rain,
Horace White. the retiring governor and
his staff rode in an automobile from the
executive mansion to the State capitol,
preceded and fianked by several COM
panies of the citizen soldiery, naval mill
tia, political clubs, and their respective
resplendent STATS. The streets along the
line Of progress were lined with people.
The halls Of the capitol through which
the two governors and their STATS walked
on their way to the assembly chamber
re-echoed with the shouts Of more silk
hated Democrats than have gathered at
the State capitol in many years. Every
section of the State was represented in
the crowd Of 30 900 which gathered for the
Inauguration.
At the close Of the ceremonies. retiring
Gov. White, Speaker James W. Wads-
worth, jr., and other Republicans of note
bade adieu to the new executive, who
then, piloted by his stan. repaired to the
executive chamber on the floor below
Here for more than two hours he pumped
the hands OF a long line of people, most
of whom had some word OF encourage
ment to say to him. All Of the notables
in the party took their places in line
with unknowns from obscure country dis
tricts and received smile and a hand
shake as they reached and passed be-
yond the governor.
Later in the afternoon Mrs Dix and
the wives Of the other State officers held
a reception at the executive mansion.
There were no ceremonies this evening,
the Gov. and Mrs Dix remaining at the
mansion and entertaining few personal
friends At dinner.

not thrust any strong moral lesson upon
its audience, but 1t has one. Just the
same. for those who care to read And,
above all. it Is a corking good entertain

turns him over to the police. This is a
wild and distressing scene, involving the
horror Of the young girls death. the hys-
terical raving Of the murderer. and the
bewilderment OF those not conversant
with the true facts.
In the final act Rand has been assured
Of the truth of Hannock's appraisement
Of his transaction by his friend. Vorhees,

nothing more or less, and he awakes to
the fact that he had duped himself as

he is engaged. accepting his repentance as
a token of the presence of an honest,

interesting. despite it's deep morbidity.
The general tone is somber and the only
glimpse of humor is afforded by the
character of Gordon Van Vranken, the
husband Of the frivolous elder sister. who
is quite a lovable fellow. in spite Of his
numerous faflings.
