FEDERALS APPROACH. THE CITY OF JUAREZ
Small Battle Yesterday Ends in Defeat of
 Federals

Juarez August S-Vanguards of the federal and rebel armies met yester- day at Encinel1as, on the Mexican Cen tral railway 60 miles north of the city of Chihuahua. According to official re- ports tonight at rebel headquarters here the federals were driven back after brisk fighting during the late morning and afternoon.
 The report says two federals were killed and two rebels wounded.
 It is said in the report of the bat tie made to General Orozco that 20 men from the federal ranks joined the rebels. These men,, it is said. were taken prisoners during the battle of Bachimba some weeks ago and since have been compelled to fight with the federals.
 The rebels numbered about 300. They were sent to watch for the approach of the third federal army, which is moving slowly north, repairing the railway This engagement is taken by rebel leaders here to prove the federal force moving from the state capital is not within striking distance of either Juarez or the Casas Grandes district, where the federals and rebels are sparring for advantage.

Walls That Don't Transmit Sounds


 Exneriments have recently been carried out in Germany with the object of dis covaring methods and means for rem dering walls and ceilings capable of ef- fective resistance to sound transmission. One of the more recently devised methods involves the use under the ceiling or naralIel to the wall, as the case may he, nf a network of wire stretched tightly by means of pulleys secured into adjacent walls and not touching at any point the surface to be protected against sound.
 Upon the wire network is plastered a composition formed of strong glue, plas- ter of paris and granulated cork, so as to make flat slab, between which and tho wall or ceiling is a cushion of confined air. >The method described is said to be good in two respects; first, the absence of contact between the protective and iprotected surfaces. and. secondly. the nature of the composition recommended for the plaster.

MANY WITNESSES
FAIL TO APPEAR
IN ELECTION CONTEST CASES
NOW PENDING
Defendants Announce Application
for CONFERENCE.-The Motion to
Continue Will Be Heard Today.
400 Witness Will be Summoned.

More than 100 witnesses sum-
moned by the defense, in the election
contest cases pending before the dis
trict court, failed to show up yester-
day. The defense attorneys there
fore asked adjournment in order
that they might go through the list
and pick out the more important
Iones, and announced that today they
will file application for continuance
The court will reconvene this af-
ternoon to hear argument on the mo-
] ton The more than 200 witnesses
who were in the court room yester-
day afternoon were excused until 9
O'Clock Saturday morning.
| Upon the opening of court yester-
day morning, Judge Hopkins an
nOunced that the demurrers and ex-
ceptions, filed by the state and the
defense Wednesday, were all over
ruled. The defense Immediately en-
tered its exception to the ruling and
the state announced that plaintiff,
Cobolini, accepted the ruling of the
court.
Most Of the day yesterday was con-
sumed in the crying of the names of
the large number of witnesses. TIL:
returns on the 400 or more
Subpoenas given TO the sheriff for
service Wednesday were completed
at o'clock yesterday
Should the cases continue without
hindrance, it is estimated that more
than four weeks will be consumed in
the trials The progress made thus
far has been very slow, probably be-
cause of the great amount of time
being spent in argument, and also
because Of the huge number of wit
nesses that are being called to testi-
fly in the cases.
Some Of the witnesses are dead,
some in Jail, and it is quite probable
that an appreciable number of them
are laboring in the cotton fields in
the various portions of the state
For these reasons it is likely that
far less than the 400 for which sub
poenas have been issued may be
reached.
Opinions on the cases are being
made broadcast among those who are
interested, personally and generally
Some have advanced the idea that, if
the cases are not continued, the trials
may come to point where both
sides will charge fraud and seek to
prove that the election held last
spring was invalid and illegal
Should such a turn come to pass,
it is possible that former Mayor Ben
jamin Kowalski, who preceded the
incumbent, A. B. Cole, might be re-
turned to the office. This might fol-
low in lawful course, if the incumb-
ent should be declared to be holding
the office through an illegal election,
and his predecessor would perhaps
continue to hold the Office until mis-
successor was regularly and legally
elected This could be done by the
calling of a special election
