Surprise of Bullets

There was no response from the fed erals had pressed closer and closer when suddenly bullets seemed to come from everywhere Villa had all but accom- plished an enveloping movement and Campa awoke from his Illusion of safety, to find himself in a serious predicament. Captain Drebin declared the fire was the most seevre he had ever known.
 An American newspaper correspond ent who had attached himself to Dre- bins battery, had an exciting experi- once He had tethered his horse with those of the officers on the protected slope of a hill, where they seemed per- fectly safe. And so they were, while the attack was in front, but when the federals flanking column suddenly blazed out with a fire which raked the hill. every animal in the lot was killed.
 That the federals attained the flank ing position unopposed was due to a mistake as to their identity. They were fired upon at first but Colonel Porra, commanding that portion of the field, declared the column must be that of Major Quevada, who was expected and Porra stopped the shooting Queveda, however. still was miles away engaged in a skirmish of his own.
 In another hour the federal sharp shooters had succeeded in sileneing the rebel artillery and presently the re- treat, which soon became a riot, began.
 Drebin, with a rapia firer, protected the retirement of the other gunners with their guns and all but the morta- were saved The Philadelphian was nipped twice by bullets, but his hurts were only skin deep.

News From the Front

With Rebel Army, In Front of Parral. April 2, by Courier to El Paso, Tex, April 1.-The defeat of General Campa in his attack on General Salazar was a rout. The army all but surrounded the rebels which did well to escape destruction. It is officially stated that the rebel losses were three killed and P wounded, but the list undoubtedly is larger. Campa in his flight was compelled to leave wounded where they fell in the mountains and in the deep defiled and arroyos.
 Among the clain was Campa's l8-year- old brother. Sanchez.
 When Campa had planted his rapid firers and his field mortars, he called up the mayor of Parral by telephone, and demanded the surrender of the city. The latter refused abruptly.
 The roofs of two churches, the bull ring, and one of the citys plazas could be seen plainly, teeming with men from the elevated position occupied by the liberals. Sam Drebin of Philadelphia, who has been in many revolutions, and is no wa captain of artillery, opened up with his rapid firers and the crowds melted as If by magic. from their ex- posed positions.
 Fifteen minutes later the mortar plant ed near the railroad yards began drop ping shells in the city but their effect could not be determined.

A peculiar mix-up has developed
over the school board, due to the
fact that both acting mayors have
appointed different men to take The
place of Henry Jones who resigned
some time ago.
1t seems that before Ferd Garrett
son, the alderman-at-large, knew
that he was not to be acting mayor,
he appointed Harry Wilson along
with the other eight men, who were
reappointed. When Mr.. Dalton
was declared the rightful successor
to formor Mayor B~ollschweiler he at
first agreed to allow Mr.. Garretson's
appointment to stand. Later, how
ever, he changed his mind and nam
ed Frank L. AntiselI. Both of these
men have qualified and each one in
sists that he will take his seat as a
member of the Board of Education
when the term of the new board be-
gins February /.
But as there are eight men who
have been reappointed by both act
ing mayors, and as the law says that
the board shall consist Of but nine
members 1t looks as If somebody
would have to be dropped. The in
teresting point. is that Mr.. Garrett
sons appointee is a Republican and
Mr.. Dalton's man Is a Democrat.
The. question hinges on whether a
Republican shall be seated, or
whether the vacancy shall be filled
by a Democrat.
Thus do we find politics breaking
out In the most violent form In a
board that was supposed to be non
partisan and where politics were
supposed to be barred, There
seems to be no help for it, however.
as petty partisan squabbles :
bound to hold the center Of the
stage during the present year, judy
ing from the way this years city adj
ministration has started.
The fight over the school board
will be an interesting one and will
probably be the means of bringing
to a head the present agitation over
the acting mayor quicker than any
thing else.

ings; that 1t was Mr.. Wight who APP
peared before Justice Bergen with
the petition that a commission be
appointed, and that Mr.. Wight was

Charles G. Hommann, city attorney,
who Is making the motion and the
order Is signed by Justice Bergen
and G. G. Hommann, attorney. JUST
why 1t Is necessary to have Mr..
Wight appear in the matter whel
the whole proceedings are done In
the name of Mr.. Hommann, tho city
attorney, who, naturally, should at
tend to such things, is hard to un-
derstand. Is Mr.. Hommann merely
a ~ngurehead in the city's law depart
ment who lends his name to be used

do both get the money?

MORE CHARTER REVISION.

Charter revision in the municipal
tiles of New Jersey Is becoming
more and more popular. At the
last meeting of the Common Coun-
ell Of New Brunswick a resolution
was passed suggesting that a char
ter revision commission of nine
members be appointed to draw up
a new charter for that city. This
commission is to be composed of
three members appointed by the
common council, three to be chosen
by the mayor and three by the
Board OF Trade.
There is no doubt that New
Brunswick viii profit a great deal
by having a new charter. The city
is decidedly backward and there is
treason to believe that the antiquat-
ed system under which It is work
ing has a great deal to do with it.
Perth Amboy might take a tip
from New Brunswick In this regard
and have a commission appointed
for the same purpose. We have Just
had an example Of what an anti
iquated charter means for us and If
we are to make progress in the fu-
ture we must get an up TO date city
government in which loop holes win
not be found. 10 mako the city gov
eminent ridiculous.

making this statement gave the Ev-

he was riding, He said that the re-
