strueted by Francisco Madero to head
off the Casas Grandes contingent, and
if possible capture and release the
prisoners. The fight occurred on
hacienda as the prisoners. shaekled
together by ropes, and the women and
children refugees, weary from the long
tramp, were scattered in long broken
line.
The federals Immediately responded
with heavy firing and placed the pris-
oners and non-combatants under pro-
lection. The lighting continued for
several hours. and resulted in sending
north General Rabago with 500 rein
forcements.
The extent of the fight became
known when riderless horses arrived
here with evidences of having left the
front in a stampede. So far as known,
none of the prisoners, among whom are
believed to be many Americans, was
wounded. and none escaped, although
these statements are based on un-
official reports.
Great hope for peace is entertained
here because of the prospect of the
arrival of Francisco Madero, Sr.,
father of the insurrecto leader
Fully aware of his sons determina-
tion not to end the war unless he
achieved that for which the insurrec-
Ition was begun--a new election and
the withdrawal of the president-the
senior Madero, it is believed, hardly
would hazard trip into the interior
unless he had something definitely
favorable to offer A mere talk be-
tween father and son as to the dis
astrous effect of the war would result
in nothing
Madero, junior, has been much

Immigration TO
SOUTH is SELECT
New Commissioner Urges Commercial
Congress to Attract Agriculturists
as Well as Skilled Labor.

Washington. D. c. April lie
Roy Hodges, at present with the tar
in board, will in a few months become
commissioner Of immigration Of the
Southern Commercial Congress. In
the interval, he will cooperate with
Senator Fletcher and Managing Di-
rector Dave, in organizing to success
fully carry out the delicate task thus
assigned to him by the executive com
cittee. Mr.. Hodges is in complete
sympathy with the Southern CONNER
eial Congress in its repeated declara-
tions that the lands of the south would
better remain empty than bring on a
second racial problem. In written
communication to the executive com
mittee, Mr.. Hodges says:
There is a pressing demand now in
the south for skilled Industrial labor
ers. as well for unsklled workmen,
who can be relied on, and who will
not further complicate our negro
problem.
would advocate, however, that the
energy Of the Southern Commercial
Congress be directed towards turning
agriculturalists towards the south. The
large tracts of land which are now "
ing idle throughout the south should
be placed in condition to produce not
lonly subsistence for the army Of work
ers who will be attracted to the region
in quest of employment as our indus
trial development continues, but also
to furnish the raw cotton, tobacco,
sugar cane, and the other commodi-
ties which our own mills and factories
i will require outside Of the export de-
lmands. While this may be made the
main work of the congress for the
present ! do not mean to say that
the demand 70 industrial laborers and
skilled artisans should be overlooked.
, for believe that as far as it is prac-
Itical an effort should be exerted to-
| supply this need But as these latter
classes are seldom permanent settlers
in any one locality. the Southern Com
mercial Congress can best serve the
south by guiding within her boundaries
those who will become real factors in
the communities in which they take
up their residence"
Mr.. Hodges Is native of North
lCarolina, although reared in Virginia
> where he received his early educa-
! ton in Gatewood's naval preparatory
school at Norfolk, His education in
! economics and law was received in
+ Washington & Lee university, and at
q the university of Chicago. He has
spent about two years in railroad and
general engineering, having served
under the Seaboard Air Line and the
! Augusta and Florida railroads, and sew
eral construction companies.

washington, D. c., April 17.-Demo-
cratic leaders in the house have de-
cided to prevent a repetition of the
division in the ranks of the majority
over the campaign publicity bill by ap-
plying the caucus rule to the consider
alton of every other important meas
ure they shall bring up during the
extra session. Today and Tues
day the house will debate the Cana
dian reciprocity bill It will be passed
by an overwhelming majority The
first real contest of the session will
come over the free list bill. which will
follow the Canadian bill. The republi-
can protectionists and standpatters
are shocked at some of the provisions
in this measure and will not submit
without a struggle. The steam
roller will go over them in the end,
but there will be vigorous debate be-
fore the democrats put it in motion.
The democratic leaders are planning
to pass all the measures included in
their legislative program by May 15.
This is in accordance with their de-
cision to bring about an adjournment
of the extra SESSION by July 1, if pos
sible. Representative Underwood,
leader of the democratic side, predict
ed that unless a prolonged struggle
developed in the senate the session
could be brought to close about that
date. The leaders of both parties be-
lieve that the Canadian reciprocity
bill will be passed in some form by the
senate If it is brought to a vote.
1t would have been passed by that
body at the last session had not vote
been prevented by the filibuster in the
closing days
The senate also is expected to pass
the resolution providing for the popu-
lar election of senator's The free list
bill for farmers will be amended in the
senate and may be debated for weeks
The prediction is made that the other
tariff bills, relating to the woolen, cot
ton goods and iron and steel products
will be talked to death in the upper
branch of congress. The democrats
expect this and are Indifferent to the
fate of those measures. They are play
ing politics with view to the presi
dental campaign of 1912 and will con
tent themselves with going on RECORD
for the tariff reductions they propose
regardless of the action of the senate

TRANSPORTATION of the Hog.

Intelligence used in his breeding
and care has raised the hog from the
plane of the yeriest savage, unsought
except when hunted like any other
wild beast, to that of benefactor,
contributing a wide variety Of meats,
among them the most toothsome
known to the epicure, and other
products essential to the best tables,
to commerce and to the trades. The
hogs disposition has yielded to the
influence ofgood breeding and changed
from that of the outlaw, ready for
conflict with man or beast, tt the
peaceable temperament belonging
with propriety to the barnyard resi-
dent. His conformation has been
nodded by skillful methods from bony,
angular uncouthness into a structure
of massive width, depth and thick
ness, affording marvellous yield Of
pork and lard. Incidentally, by do
mestication and generations of breed
him for early maturity and quick
fattening, the length of his intestines
has been increased, it is claimed by
scientists, more than 1870 per cent.

Ogelsby Seeks Reelection.

Jefferson City, Mo-, April 30
Chairman RUDE Ogelsby Of the Board
of Railroad and Warehouse Commits
sioners expects to be candidate to
succeed himself at the Democratic
primaries next year.
'If the people of the State especi-
ally the Democrats, think l will
strengthen the Democratic ticket l
will be candidate. OF course, |
would like to succeed myself, but l
am also interested in the welfare of
the ticket.
Il have always tried to be as fair to
the railroads as I have been to the
people. l have not done any grand
standing nor tried to do something
out of the ordinary to cause comment.
Il think Ilhaye been Of service to
the people, and if | am reelected will
continue along the same line. There
is no doubt that some Of the railroads
would like to get rid Of me, and there
are some politicians who have no
love for me. don't believe this of
flee should be used for either"
Mr.. Ogelsby has been member OF
the railroad board for nearly six
years and the records show he has
been the most active commissioner.

! Kern Doomed for Taft's Job.

Indianapolis, Ind, April 3O.-The
boom of United States Senator John
w. Kern for the Democratic nomina-
ton for President is the most notable
development in the political arena Of
Indiana. For the last two years
Governor Marshall, a close friend of
Mr.. Kern, has been regarded as the
candidate of the Indiana Democrats
for the presidency.
1t is also noted that the boom for
Kern was started just after Governor
Marshall had issued a requisition for
John j. Mcnamara of the Interna-
tiQnal Association Of Bridge and
Structural Iron Workers.
The boom had its birth at the Deni-
son Hotel at a meeting attended by
M. M. Mahoney, c. R. Cameron and
other Indianapolis Democrats. One
of the men behind the boom says it is
a real thing. He insists the Kern
boosters are not Knocking" Marshall
or any other Democrat, but they are
for Kern first, last and all the TIME.
This, man also says an organization
for Kern will be formed in every
county in the Strife and that a fight
will be made for the Indiana delega-
ton.
Other Democrats, in commencing
on the case, say the Governors action
in the McNamara case has put him
out Of the running for President, re-
CARELESS Of whether the Governor
was right legally in his action. They
say the Democrats win be afraid Of
the burden he would have to carry
all over the country as a candidate
for President.

Fires were lit in the strawberry beds,
but Mr.. Howard said they probably
were not necessary. -....
The coolest temperature was SO de-
