[From a STAR correspondent.l

TRENTON, Sept. 2O.-The State
Board of Public Utility Commission
ers today called a conference of all
the telephone companies of the State
to be held at Trenton October 9. The

schedules and made recommendations
which will be taken up at the gen.
era1 meeting.
One of his recommendations is that
the leading telephone companies of

with to eliminate all discriminatory
contracts by superseding these con-
tracts with regular schedule rates.
The Public Utility Commission has
also called a conference of the cleo
trio light companies for October 16

FEDERALS DEFEAT
MEXICAN REBELS
Four Americans Held Prisoners
Are Liberated Just Be-
fore Battle.

DOUGLAS. Ariz., Sept. 20.-Dis-
patches regarding the defeat of the
rebels at the San Joaquin ranch, near
Aqua Prieta, yesterday by Federal
troops under Colonel Obregen show
that Obregon's force, numbering 1872
men mostly Yaqui Indians. surprised
the rebels as they were eating at the
ranch. Obregon drove the rebels from
the ranch house, capturing a machine
gun and eight prisoners.
Four Americans who had been taken
prisoners by the rebels a few hours
before the battle were liberated by the
Federals and made their way to
Fronteras. three miles south, whence
they telephoned the news to Douglas,
At ~nightfall the Federals were still
pursuing the rebels into the hills.
M. L. Pollard, one of the Ameri-
cans, reported there were 500 in the
band and that Antonio Rojas and Incl
Salazer, rebel leaders. were with
them. Pollard and three companions
were taking horses from Douglas TO
the Ell Tigre mine, when they were
made prisoners.
Obregon's position is believed to be
precarfous despite his temporary vic
tory unless the 400 Federals under
Colonels Munez and Alvardo, some.
where in the vicinity, come to his
aid.

NO VERDICT THIS TRIAL;
CENTS DAMAGES BEFORE
[From a STAR correspondent.

TRENTON, Sept. 2o.-After an all
night session, the jury in the United
States Court considering the damage
suit of Frank c. Langhorne against
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
was discharged, having reached nc
agreement.
Langhorne was in a rowboat fishing
on Staten Island Sound when a tug
pulling several barges struck his boat
and upset it. He brought suit, alleg-
ing negligence on the part of the pilot
of the tug. The company contended
Langhorne was negligent, in that he
did not steer out of the tugs path, in
view of Langhorne's admission that
he say the tug approaching.
A previous trial of the case resulted
in a six-cent damage in Langhorne's
favor.
