The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933, 1912-05-23

F. w. Gilbert, secretary of the
Spokane County Good Roads associa-
ton, suggests several new road laws
for the consideration of the coming
legislature. One of these is legislation
for townships so that at least one-third
of the road funds shall be expended on
dragging their ordinary earth roads.
He says a-price should be stipulated
at which such work should be paid for
and suggests that so cents per mile for
two round trips be the pay, and that
the dragman contract to drag the roads
whenever told to do so by the road
supervisor. A maximum section of
four miles should be allotted and every
mile sign be placed at each terminus
of the section showing clearly who the
dragman is and who takes care of that
piece of road. The Spokane Spokes-
man-RevieW.

=, sible for Death: Bandits
Have Friend.

Wytheville, Va, May 10.-"Tm dy'
ing; I'm dying; Sid Allen did it,
Judge Massie's first words as he fell
mortally wounded during the pistol
battle that killed four others in the
Hillsville court house on March IA
were repeated yesterday at the trial OF
Floyd Allen, one Of the men charged
with the five murders.
Daniel Thomas, countryman, who

tailed the scene and fight.
Sid Allen has not been captured.

One other incident. though 1t occur
red outside the court room, touched
the days proceedings with the dram
attic. Campbell Crowder, friend OF
the Aliens, was talking with some wit
nesses on the court house green when
he exclaimed:
"I hope the Aliens will shoot up this
court house worse than the one at
Hillsville.
Crowder was Immediately taken be.

STREET SALES or
PAPERS ENLARGED
NO POLICE PROTECTION NEEDED
IN CHICAGO TO-DAY; UNION
CHARTER REVOKED.

Chicago, May 10.-Newspapers were
sold at a number of downtown corners
today without guard for the first time
since the beginning Of the newspaper
strike.
The zone for the distribution OF
newspapers has been gradually widened
in the last few days until at present II
includes nearly every section OF the
city.
Following the action OF President
James Freel of the sterotypers inter-
national union in revoking the charter
of the Chicago union for rebell1ng
against the laws Of the international
organization more striking stereotypers
applied to the newspapers today Tor
reinstatement A few of the old men
have been taken back but 1t is reported
that most Of the papers have full crews
Of stereotypers.
Freel and his associate members OF
the executive council of the interna-
tional union formally cancelled the
charter of the local union because the
men refused to return to work as or
dered by Freel, Several days ago, IN
anticipation Of this discipline, officers
Of the local union made preparations to
issue "traveling cards" to their men,
bers, giving the men standing in any
office Of the country. President Freels s
order cancelling the charter Of the
local union also cancelled all travelling
cards issued by this union to any of its
members.
The effect of this action by Mr.. Freel
is to leave every stereotyper EMPLOYED
in chiesgs oa,5a snt6a tbe Innns iatentton
OF Mr.. Freel to try to organize another
local union in the place of the one Just

FEDERAL ARMY
REFUSES THE
0R0zC0 FORCES
General Huerta Transmits
to Associated Press De-
tails of Fight Near Tor
reon; Crisis is Near.

Ell Paso. Tex, May 1O.-The Mexi-
can federal army has repuised me
rebel advance guard Of General
Orozco and sharp skirmishes are no"
in progress preliminary to what Is ex-
pected to be the most decisive pattle
of the revolution. Nearly l5,O0O men
are engaged on both sides and the op-
jective point Of the rebels is Torreon,
the trailroad gateway OF northern
MEXICO. The federals are protecting
the city from all sides.
The government claims it drew frst
blood yesterday, killing ninety insur.
gents and losing but seven men aside
from several wounded.
In telegraph office 1mprovlsed IN
box car on a desert fifty miles nortn
of Torreon General Victoriano Huerta,
commander of the federal army OF
northern Mexico transmitted today by
telegraph to an Associated Press rep
resentative here news OF military de-
velopments the last twenty-four hours.
The box car stood a few miles from
the town of Bermejillo. The wire
had been set up direct to the federal
camp being routed from Ell Paso VIA
Laredo, Texas, Monterey and Torreon,
round about circuit eastward OF
more 1000 miles. This was made
necessary by the seizure Of all tele-
graphic lines directly south of here by
the rebels.
From the improvised telegraph or
fee General Huerta talked enthusias'
tically of the battle. Yesterday,
Thursday, General Habago completely
routed one thousand rebels at Zara-
toza and Tlahualilo both near Tor
rem" said General Huerta. "The reb-
els lost nineteen dead and many
wounded while our loss was seven dead
and a few wounded. The rebels, were
driven back in hasty fight and were
pursued by cavalry under General
Villa.
"On Wednesday We heard that de-
tachment of one thousand rebels were
advancing on us, and we organized
column which went by railroad under
General Rabago. To cut off retreat We
sent overland volunteer and regular
cavalry from the forces of Villa. They
arrived about 6 o'clock Thursday
morning and Immediately attacked the
rebels. AS the fight became more In
tense, General Rabago arrived and
f1anked the rebels. He had with him
artillery. and machine guns. The fight
lasted six hours. We completely routed
the enemy and without exaggeration
one can say they ran like rats. Our
losses were seven wounded and two
killed"
Communication was interrupted for
a few minutes. =. ....s
"A telegram has just been brought
me from General Trucy Aubert at
Cuatro Cienagas which says the rebel
chief Salazar was completely routed
and is running away in the direction
of Sierra Mojada," said General HUI
erta. - H..
Couriers from the advance guard at
this juncture arrived, according to
General Huerta and informed him that
the federal outposts were In posses
sion Of the Mexican central railroad
up to within twelve miles of Bernie
jillo.
Today is the first anniversary of the
surrender OF Juarez to Madero, and
equally important developments in
Mexican history are said to be ex-
pected.

All people living In this territory
have been warned to flee.
Many, however, declare they will
not abandon their homes. Conse'

officials are preparing for hard cam

gathered here and crews are being

1t seems only a matter of a few

state and the government will have to
care for thousands more homeless and
that the people Of Louisiana must bear
great additional loss before the flood

of the flood water is coming from the
great break in the levee at Torras.
This breach is 5000 feet wide. Water
pours through it with the speed Of a
mill race. &
This is the third consecutive calam-

bales of cotton and 100000 pounds of

A new menace showed today when
it was discovered that carcasses OF
hundreds of animals are floating in
