While the detectives delved inso the

in the same room where scores of bIi-
let holes dot the walls and dark
blotches of bsod stain the floors,
mute reminders of the tragedy of

On the bench was Acting Judge

Seems Rebels in Retreat.

Ell Paso, Texas, March 26.-Out of
the mass of contradictory matter COM
ing today from the City of Mexico
and from the rebel front at JimineZ,
only one fact emerged clearly-that
the rebels in the last five days of
fighting retreated first from Escalon
to Corralitos and then from Corralitos
to JimineZ. If the test of victory is
the holding or the taking Of posi-
ton. the Maderoista colony here de-
clares the rebels have been defeated
thus far, for they have retreated from
two positions which they declared they
conld hold
Last night no press dispatches got
through from Jiminez and the pur-
port of those that reached here today
was that there was fighting at long
range three miles from Jiminez. At
9 o'clock tonight Alberto Madero,
uncle of President Madero said that
the federals occupied Jiminez after
5 o'clock this morning
At 10 o'clock tonight the Maderi-
is:as were not in communication with
Jiminez. but on the contrary. the reb-
ell operator at Juarez was working
away in ordinary fashion.
Asked il any press dispatches We're
on file at Jiminez, he said:
Il don't know. but I'll ask
For a moment the key clicked rap
idly and then the operator answered
in the negative,
Are you talking with Iiminez?" he
was asked.
why, certainly" he replied.
What is the situation ?"
Its the same"
NO federals there?''
"Oh my no.
This conversation with the operat-
or supports the last dispatches re-
ceived to the effect that the rebels
were victorious.
Meanwhile the eagle of victory is
perched on the government banner
according to other reports.

IN BUTTE.
STRIKE GO TO REFERENDUM
light Thousand Metal Miners Vote
Tomorrow, but Probably Be
Negative.

Butte, Mont, March 26.-At a
meeting of the Butte, Miners union
tonight arrangements We're made for
taking referendum vote Thurs
day upon the question of declaring "a
strike of miners as protest against
the discharge of about $50 men. it is
claimed by the miners, because they
were socialists. The polls will open
at 8 O'Clock in the forenoon, and as
there are more than 5000 miners and
smeltermen who will have vote, the
results of the election will not be
known until Friday morning. Two
thirds majority is necessary to call a
strike, and even then the results must
be forwarded to the headquarters of
the Western Federation of Miners at
Denver and there passed upon by the
executive committee of the federation
Leaders in the union tonight express
ed the belief that sentiment express
ed at tonight's meeting practically
precludes any possibility of a strike.
Con F. Kelley, vice president of the
Anaconda Copper Mining company,
and John Gillie, general manager of
the -company's properties, today is
sued a statement that the companies
operating in Butte would not discrim-
mate against any of their employees
because of race, religion, color or
politics, but that the companies would
continue to exercise their hitherto
undisputed right of hiring or dis
charging whom they pleased.
Socialist Mayor Lewis j. Duncan
and Alex Mackel, leaders among the
socialists of Butte, tonight addressed
a mass meeting of socialists in ar
raignment of the mining companies,
Mayor Duncan alleging that socialist
miners were being Disseminated
against.
A significant feature of the meeting
was the presence of not more than
about 100 persons, whereas formerly
big crowds have turned out to hear
Mr.. Duncan. Politicians of the other
parties tonight freely predicted that
the events of the past two days fore
casted the oblivion of the socialist
party as factor in the regulation of
affairs in Butte.
