END OF REVOLT
IS NOW IN SIGHT
Mexican Rebels Ask for Polio
ing Of. Chihuahua.
Federais With 5000 Men Control
Observation-Disclosures In Sore
Financial Straits.

Chihuahua-General Pascual Orozco,
the rebel chief, has decided to ask
General Huerta, the federal command
er, advancing northward with 5000
men, to agree to the policing of this
city, by a rebel garrison whose neu-
trality should be respected by the gov
eminent. Though declining to admit
that this is contemplating an evacua-
ton, General Orozco said he did not
wish to submit the city to the orgies
of fanatical mob.
Officials at rebel headquarters are
reticent as to their plans, but the in
tention to send an emissary to General
Huerta to negotiate for the possible
abandonment of Chihuahua is taken to
mean, in connection with other symp-
toms of disorganization here, that the
Mexican revolution will pass in a few
days from an organized revolt against
the Madero government into guerilla
warfare, uncontrolled and irrespons-
ible.
The garrison at Juarez may be the
first to evacuate and begin guerilla
tactics.
1t is virtually certain that there will
be no big battle at Bachimba, 46
miles south Of here, as has been ex-
pected. The rebels may put up a
lively fight for brief interval in or
der to hold the federals back, but an
orderly retreat is really being planned,
together with the destruction of every
bridge and culvert between Bachimba
and chihuahua, further to delay the
government advance.
Efforts to convert into cash gold
bullion confiscated within the last few
days indicates the desperate straits of
the rebel army. Discomfort within
the ranks and at headquarters is also
apparent. When General Orozco
evacuates the city it is feared that
certain leaders will satisfy grudges
and that the disgruntled element will
seek recourse in mob violence.
1t is in anticipation of this that
General Orozco wishes to leave 200 or
800 men and officers here with the un-
Outstanding that on the entry of Gen
eral Huerta's federal forces, the gar
rison be allowed to depart with its
arms.
Significance attaches to the grant
ing of honorable discharges to Sam
Drobin, of Philadelphia; Tracy Rich
ardson, of Lamar, Mo-, and Jack Zim-
norman, of Pulaski, Pa, three Amer
lean soldiers of fortune, who had ham
died the artillery for the rebel col
umns under General Campo, operating
recently around Torreon.

Christofferson In Wreck.

Vancouver, Wash. = Harry Chris
Jefferson, brother of Silas Christoffer-
son, who made successful flight from
the roof of the Multnomah hotel dur
ing the Rose Festival, had narrow
escape from death while operating the
same biplane.
About mile up the Columbia river
from the barracks, where the hangers
are, Christofferson, flying at height
of 200 feet, attempted to make turn,
but failed to negotiate it and lost con-
troll. The machine headed into tree
and the driver managed to cling to a
Dough, from which he was later res
cued unhurt.

Every day for at least eight months

priests, members of congress, foreign
ministers, missionaries, Indian agents,
tourists, artists, strangers, friends.
Some came from affection and respect,
some from curiosity; some to give or

from idleness, some because others

died at Monticello at 12:40 p. m. on
July 4, 1926. He was buried in his
own graveyard at Monticello, beneath
stone upon which was engraved an
inscription prepared by his own hand:
Here is buried Thomas Jefferson,
author of the Declaration of Independ-
ence, of the Statute of Virginia, for
Religious Liberty and Father of the
University of Virginia"
'The sage of Monticello" stands to
day next to "the father of his coun.

States. And this is as it should be,
for his wise counsel helped to estab-
lish this nation as firmly as did the
arms and craftsmanship of George
Washington.

Colorado Levee Breaks.

Needles, Cal.-That break in the
Colorado River levee had occurred at
some unknown point was the belief
here Tuesday, as the river suddenly
began to fall early in the morning and
kept it up all day. River men said
this fall was due to break at some
place where communication had been
cut off, but it was believed to be at
some point on the Arizona side.
For several years past it has been
demonstrated that the greatest dam

OF Henry Cameron was destroyed and
his three children killed, the wind

unlnjured mile from home. The

Secretary Of Navy Is Ill.

Washington, D. C.-Oficial and So
cial circles were considerably dis
turbed Sunday by kilograms from
Hamilton, Mass. announcing that
George Won L. Meyer, secretary OF
the navy, was suffering from typhoid
fever. Secretary Meyer had been i'll
here for several days, and about a
week ago his physician advised that
he return to his home for rest. AT the
time he was complaining of stomach
trouble, but his physicians and friends
here believed that few days rest
at home would restore him to health.

10, thanks to Tarleton's orders, es-
capped serious pillage or damage.
Though the house itself was not plum
dered or burned, the rest of Jeferson's
property suffered severely at the
hands of the enemy. All the stock
and farm products that might be of
service were carried off, the rest be-
ing wantonly destroyed.
When Jefferson resigned from the
Washington cabinet in 1704 he re-
turned to Monticello to enjoy a retire
ment which he intended should last
many years. But this was not to be.
He was elected vice-president in
1895, and in 1900 he was chosen pres
ident.
IN March, 1909, jefferson, after a
nearly continuous public service of
forty -four years, retired to Monticel-
10 and to private life, but he was so
seriously impoverished that he was
not sure of being allowed to leave
Washington without arrest by his
creditors, but this, fortunately, he was
able to prevent. Toward the close OF
his life, however, he became distress
ingly embarrassed in his circum-
stances. In 1914 he sold his library to
congress for $4,000, but through In
dorsing note for a friend he was
completely ruined, and was in danger
of being compelled to surrender Mon
