ALL PARIS
TERRORIZEO
BY BANDITS
UNITED PRESS LEASED wrRn.l

Paris, March 26-Spurred to action
by the killing Of three persons and the
looting of Chantilly bank yesterday
by the Phantom Bandits" the French
cabinet met today to devise means to
capture the outlaws So far the police
have been unable to secure any clue
leading to the identity of the murder
ers.
The cabinet decided, It was an
nounced tonight, to ask the chamber
of deputies to appropriate $4,000 to
finance a hunt for the outlaws. The
government is to purchase eight of the
fastest automobile obtainable, to keep
them manned both day and night by
expert secret service men, who will be
given orders to capture the outlaws
either dead or alive.
All Paris today is literally shaking
in terror believing the bandits will
strike again soon, Many banks have
stationed armed guards at the en-
trance and the corridors

rebel forces completely routed the
federals at Jiminez. Fighting was re.
sumed this morning, with the govern
ment army retreating toward Torreon.
The advices say that the rebel Gen.
eral Campo out-maneuvering General
Tellez, of the Federal forces, crushed
his army. General used dynamite,
killing many Of the enemy and destroy
ing much federal ammunition It is
reported that 400 federals were slain.
With trains from Jiminez bringing
in scores of federal wounded, Torreon
is in high state Of excitement.
The federal troops were evidently
thrown into panic by General Cam
pas attacks, many deserting. The
victorious rebel general expects to ar
rive at Torreon tomorrow where an
other battle is imminent, as Huerta
the federal commander, is due to reach
there at the same time.

TROMBONE
PLAYER IS
REAL HERO

In this funny old world of ours we
do not always know hero when we
see one When the Portland Press
Club was being entertained at the state
insane asylum Sunday afternoon, the
musical feature was a classical by the
asylum orchestra. One of the from
bone players was Eugene w. Ryley,
who, on May ~, 1911, distinguished
himself by saving the state insane asy-
lum from burning down, and was
probably the main cause Of saving
the lives Of about 20 patients. The
fire started in the evening, after Ry-
ley had been excused from duty, but,
realizing the danger, he was the first
man to get a stream on the ward
where the patients were exposed.
Walter Brown turned on the water,
but Ryley was the first man at the
nozzle, and both did very gallant
work. Ryley crept along the floor of
the ward on his hands and knees, with
Brown, and played the stream on the
flames, which could have been kept
down in no other way. Part of the
time they had to press their faces
against the floor in order to get the
least bit Of air II was due to the
fact that he had been trained athlete
that Ryley was able to endure the
test OF the extreme heat. His physical
power would not have succumbed, but
stiff stream OF water struck him in
the abdomen and put him out of bust
ness, and out Of sleep for several
nights. The trombone player has new
er fully recovered from the effects of
his exposure in rendering his heroic
services which saved the lives of the
patients Ryley is not only a good
trombone player but one of those
single men and good fellows whose
monthly pay check goes to support
his dear old mother

The war on the packers, which re-

and almost unremitntlgyl since that

Mexico City, March 26.-Refusing to
accept as authentic President Madero's
statement that federal troops had
"crushingly defeated the rebel forces
at Carralitos, their losses in dead and
wounded and captured amounting to
1OOO," residents of the capital this af-
ternoon are greatly depressed, believ-
ing that the suicide of General Coma
les Salas indicated a decisive rebel
victory,
1t is generally believed here that
the impending rebel attack on Mexico
City will commence before the end of
the week, and all foreigners have unit
ed in an effort to protect life and prop
erty when the battle starts.
The majority of Mexicans here are
unable to accept as true the report
that General Trucy Aubert and Gener-
al Teller reformed the retreating fed
eralist force, after General Salas had
killed himself, and then turned rebel
victory into defeat. 1t Is pointed out
that the rebel chieftains are expert
enced warriors, and are not of the
kind to be caught mapping. Govern
ment officials, however, still maintain
that the federals were victorious, but
admit their losses we're heavy
No definite news has been received
here concerning the whereabouts of
General Pascual Orozco, the rebel
commander-in-chief, since the battle
Of Corralitos. The fact that General
Victorino Huerta is rushing north
ward this afternoon with 1000 feder-
al troops has led to the general belief
that the rebel chieftain has started
his march on Mexico City.
General Zapata has resumed com
maDd. of the revolutionists in More
los and reports from there say he will
cooperate with General Orozco.

POSTOFF|CES WILL
CLOSE ON SUNDAY
Movement Reaching All Over
The Country.-Started Two
Years Ago Postmaster At
Colorado Springs Set The
Example.
HAS LITTLE OPPOSITION.

The movement for Sunday closing of
the postoffices has reached such pro-
portions as only to need a boost to
make a minimum of ST. nday work uni.
versal throughout the country. At
prese mt about rs per cent. of our post
offices are cutting down work on that
day. Some of these follow the social
ed Toledo plan of keeping open an
hour in the morning, to allow access to
lock.boxes; others deliver mail through
the carriers window during this time.
The sorting of mail, which formerly
kept some 1000 men employed on
Sunday, is eliminated by both these
classes.
The progress of the movement, which
was started about two years ago by
Ernest A. Eggers, carrier in the New
York Postoffice, is in no small part due
to the support of the churches, the
Epworth League and and the Christian
Endeavor society. The postoffice de.
partmeDt earlier showed itself in SYM
pathy and local postmasters were i'm
structed to use their own option in the
matter of closing
The postmaster of Colorado Springs
set the example, followed in the fall of
1910 by the large postoffice at Detroit.
Since then the movement has spread
rapidly and with little opposition.
In the postoffice appropriation bill for
1910 the postmaster general inserted a
clause providing that compensatory
time off map be permitted during the
week to clerks doing Sunday work.
This he followed up by two successive
circular letters to postmasters urging the
discontinuance of Sunday work
Not all postmasters have as yet re
sponded to Mr.. Hitchcock's suggestions,
and the employees thefore supported
the Reilly bill, which has passed the
house and which limits the work of
clerks and carries to eight hours, per-
formed within ten hours on six DAYS in
the week. The law is of special impor-
lance to postoffice clerks, at present

In as much as death has entered in
and taken from us our esteemed frie nd
and associate, Camillus M. Mcclellan,
we, the directors and officers of The
First State Bank, deem it fitting to
offer the following resolutions:
First-Though we, in our human
judgme Mt, feel that this death is un-
timely, we are reminded thereby, that
in the midst of life we are in death,
yet we doubt not tie wisdom of an
Almighty providence, for we know full
we'll that, He who rules the waves and
holds the stars in place and yet takes
note of the sparrow. can make no mis-
take.
Secondly this death we have sus.
tanned loss which can not be easily
repa:red-we have suffered wound
which only time can heal, we have lost
a true friend, a good citizen, a SUBJ
stantial business mau, one who was
ever generous and faithful TO duty.
Third-that we extend to the bereav-
ed family assurance of our sympathy,
and tender to 'them our assistance as
friends and business associates of the
deceased.
Fourth-That we submit a copy of
these resolutions for publication, and
order a copy filed with our records, and
one sent to the family of the decreased.
