HOMESTEAD BILL IN DANGER
r'sner and Pinchot Believed to Be
Working for IL pefaat. !

4
Washington, D. C.-Friends Of the
borah-Jones three year homestead bill
are greatly alarmed over the DELAY Of
the conference committee in reaching
an agreement, and are fearful that
This long delay will make it possible
Tor MI. Fisher, the secretary of the
interior, to defeat the measure in one
way or another. This bill. after
passing the senate and then passing
the house in an amended form. was
referred to the conference committee
on March "a and since then no actual
steps have been taken by this commit
tee towards bringing in an agreement.
It was fully expected by friends of
this bill that the conference commit
tee, appointed to reconcile the differ
ences between the senate and house
bills, could get together in a few DAYS
"a week at the outside-but seven
weeks have elapsed and the conference
committee is no nearer an agreement
than the day it was appointed. This
situation is somewhat surprising. in
view OF the fact that every member Of
the conference committee voted for
the bill and is supposed to favor re-
ducing the homestead period from five
years to three, and to favor giving
homesteaders leave of absence for five
months each year.

Not for the BIRD Lovers.

.
Many Of the feather fashions OF this
season WIN be bitterly opposed by the
bird lovers. and there are happily
many women who have the courage OF
their convictions and who will ignore
the DEGREES Of Nine. La Mode and
frankly show their preference for the
graceful floral aigrettes now being
made.
I Flowers are suggested AZ . substi-
tute for feathers that have been pro
cured by cruelty. but It may not be
iout OF place to point out to the gentle
danes who wish to protect bird life
that 1t is at least equally their duty to
see that In the modes they are ready
to adopt they are not simply encour-
aging the sweatshop evil. Silken roses
and velvet pansies may entail as great
.hardships as the aigrette or the o.
prey.

Judgment Of an American army lieu
tenant and the aggressive stand of
two Texas rangers in the face of 200
Mexican rebels advancing on the
American boundary line prevented
serious complications early Wednes-
day between the United States and
Mexico.
Death to them!'' cried the Mexi-
cans, and q shot rang out as they
spurred their horses, drew their car
bines from their saddle slots and
charged forward to a wagon road
where Lieutenant C. A. Dougherty
and IS men of Troop E, Fourth Uni
ted States cavalry, had stationed
themselves, their. rifles pointing to-
ward Mexico. C. E. Wasster and
Charles Moore, Of the Texas rangers,
who have been accompanying the
American troops on the border patrol,
dashed forward.
IF you dare to come across this
wagon road we'll arrest your whole
army, shouted Wasster. Lieutenant
Dougherty, thinking perhaps he had
miscalculated the boundary line, gave
the Mexicans the benefit of the doubt
and drew his men back a few yards,
under cover of some sage and mes
quite, ordering them under no circum-
stances to fire until so commanded.
"This wagon road is the line, :"
Wasster continued to call in Spanish
to the advancing rebels who formed
into fighting line, demanding at
the same time that they send out their
chiefs for parley. Colonels Jose Cor
doba and Carlos Bustamente, in COM
mand of the rebels, who were moving
on Guadalupe, dismounted and crossed
the Sandy road. The Mexicans de-
clared they mistook the rangers for
two men for whom they had been
searching.
Lieutenant Dougherty came forward
and defined what he believed to be the
American line. The rebel leaders
soon turned their troops away and
headed eastward toward Guadalupe.

FLOWERS are used in such profu-
sion and In so great a variety Of
ways, on all sorts Of shapes, that
they can hardly be unfashionably
placed. But certain new arrange
ments are popular and very effective
on the shapes for which they are In.
tended. First Of all, those stir, up
standing and compact branchings,
known by the matter-of-fact name Of
"stick-up," hold first place as good
sellers. They are used as a finishing
touch with or without other flower
trimming. Often crown Is entirely
covered with blossoms, clambering
over 1t In the most natural manner,
following its outlines exactly, but such
q crown is invariably finished with a
"stick-up," such as those shown In the
picture here, or with one made Of rib
bon or feathers.
Roses, as always, lead all other
towers In demand. The sweet pea
follows closely, the lilac and the violet
have a great vogue, and large daisies
promise much prominence for midsum-
mer. But It is to be remembered that
all the flowers that grow (and some
that don't) are to be found among the
displays which make the millinery
shops places Of gay and inspiring
beauty.
Large picture hats for midsummer
show the water lily, with single, life
like blossoms, set at intervals about
the base OF the crown or on the brim.
The ox-eyed daisy In white, yellow and
sometimes In black. is set fiat to brims
and crowns, either single blossoms or
In groups Of two or three. Big single
daisies having each petal outlined with
q hair line In black make q captivat-

to take the plain white or yellow

untrlmned Hats.

Paris has set its. seal Of approval on
the untrimmed hat This moved fashion
is illustrated on hats Of small size or OF
picture dimensions, the only attempt at
trimming being narrow line Of velvet
which covers the joint between brim
and crown. In hats Of picture style,
carried out IN velvet or plush, the no
trimming idea Is very charming. the
draped material. especially the plush,
being suficient trimming IN itself.

Five-Hour Fight at RelIano
Brings No Results.
Orozco In Command at Critical Mo.
ment Resists Flank Movement
Casualties Small.

At the Rebel Front, Rellano, Mex.
leo. General Pascual Orozco's army
OF rebels fought off the government
troops under General Huerta, who at.
tackled the insurrectos stronghold. Al
the end of five hours fighting, Gen.
eral Huerta's command was in re.
treat, leaving dead and wounded on
the field. General Orozco does not be-
lieve the fighting is over, however,
and expects vigorous continuation OF
the battle.
The laundering artillery and in;
fantry fire ceased shortly after night
fall, after perhaps the most spectac-
ular battle fought on Mexican soil
since the French invasion Of the last
century.
1t is impossible to estimate the cas-
ualties, but it is known the federals
lost at least five cavalrymen in q
charge against the right wing of the
rebel line near point which General
Orozco, who directed the rebel maneu-
vers, happened to be at the time.
1t is now believed that the rebel
loss in dead will fall short of so, al
though this number may be increased
when the field has been searched.
In 13 troop trains the federals
moved up to within one mile and a
half of Rellano and began a terrific
Smelling. The first few shots explod-
ed within a few feet of the rebel
troops, but killed only few horses.
One woman was killed in the town.
General Orozco came down from
Jiminez to take personal charge of the
fight just before the federals attacked.
General Salazar was in command of
the first rebel line. The federal COM
mands Of Generals Trucy ALBERT, Ra-
-bago and Telles and Colonies Villa and
Urbina were engaged.
