DEFINITE ADvICES OF
BATTLE ARE LACKING

Juarez. Mexico, May 10.-No defi-
mite advices had reached here up to
10 o'clock tonight OF the fighting be-
tween rebels and federals in the vicin-
ity of Torreon. Rebel officials here
were reticent about discussing the bait
tie and frequent rumors were that the
rebels had met reverse.
Jose Cordova, secretary TO General
Orozco, was to have arrived here to-
night to straighten out the tangle over
the assumption by Gomez of the posi-
ton of provisional president. The lib
eral chief say he will come tomorrow.
II Is now thought that Orozco Is not
opposed to Gomez personally but does
not believe that the provisional gov
ernment should be established on an
extensive basis until the rebels have
occupied more territory or added to
their popular support

tically the same results.
The house adjourned Immediately
after the roll was called as a mark Of
respect to the memory OF the late
william E. Martin, former member
t the legislature. The motion to adj
journ was made by Mr. Catron. Both
senate and house will be in recess un-
III Monday afternoon.
The senate committee on Judiciary
had public hearing this afternoon
on the medical bill which recently
passed the house. A number Of local
physicians were present. and an In
formal discussion OF the bill took
place. The probabilities are that the

Boston, May 10.-When Informed by
Sheriff Quinn at the Charles street jail
today that he would be removed to-
morrow to Charlestown state prison
Clarence V. T. Richeson. the former
Baptist minister. who Is under sentence
to be electrocuted the week beginning
MAY 10, for poisoning his one-time
sweetheart, Avis Linnell, went down
upon his knees and begged to be al
lowed to stay at the jail few days
more.
at would have been hard to refuse
him and / told him that he would not
be moved tomorrow or Sunday
Sheriff Quinn said tonight.
The sheriff would not say what day
was likely to be chosen for the
change.
A statement given out tonight by
Governor Foss' secretary runs in part;
The governor realizes, of course.
that on his decision may rest the lie
or death of this man. He has asked
Dr. L. Vernon Briggs to make an eN-
haustive study OF the case and is now
waiting the report from DR.. Brigss.
But the governor has also called into
conference DIR. Henry b. Stedman, Dr.
Morton Prinnee and DR.. Fernald. and
their opinions will also be most i'm
portant factors in arriving at any con-
cIusion which the governor may reach.
while II is well known the gov
ernor is opposed to capital punisn-
ment. he will not for a moment allow
his personal views 10 influence his de-
cision. The whole thing hinges on
this one point; Was Richeson insane
al the time the crime was committed
'If the opinion Of these eNper;
alienists called into the case by the
governor is that Richeson is and has
been insane. then the governor must
call together his council, have pre-
sented TO it the evidence and leave 10
their decision the question OF Richie
sons sanity. The governor has no
vote in their deliberations. Is nor
present and will abide BY their de-
cisios."

Denver, May 10.-State's rights ad-
vocates today launched a movement
whereby they hope to secure action by
congress permitting the use of water
from the Rio Grande for irrigation
purposes in southern Colorado. Reso-
lutions adopted unanimously by the
Denver chamber of commerce today
set forth that the interior department
has denied applications for rights of
way for bitches and reservoirs over
public lands in southern Colorado upon
the pretext that at some future time
the water from the Rio Grande would
be needed for the federal irrigation
project at Engle, N. M.
"It is claimed such denials contra
vene the desert land act. which pro-
vides that rights of way through the
public lands and reservations of the
United States are hereby granted for
purposes of irrigation
The resolutions are to be forward
ed to Senator Guggenheim and Colo
radios representatives in the lower
house.
Governor Shafroth is asked to pro-
test to the president of the United
States against the "illegal and oppre-
sive action of the interior department
and in the event redress cannot be
secured promptly, the state of Colo
RADIO is asked to start court proceed
ings to test the right of the federal
government to deny the citizens OF
Colorado rights of way over public
lands near the headwaters of the Rio
Grande."
All commercial organizations in Col
orado are asked to join in the move
ment.
