fer With Nominees-Much

country and that 1t would carry the cleo
ton.
Many congratulatory kilograms were
sent to the candidates. Headquarters OF

To Direct Own Campaign
Governor Woodrow Wilson will in the
main determine the direction of his own
campaign for President; pass upon the
desirability of appointing a campaign
committee and confer with sub-com-
tee Of the national committee .on the
naming of the officers of the new demo-
cratic national committee.
This was the sense of the members of
the new national democratic committee,
which met this morning. and after con-
tinuing the officers of the old commit
tee in power until a permanent organi-
zation Is effected, designated a sub-com-
mittee of five consisting of Chairman
Mack, Secretary Woodson and three
other committeeman to confer With Gov
ernor Wilson on permanent organization
| of the new committee.
| This stb-committee will also confer with
| Governor Wilson on any plans tina. the
present nominee may have with respect
| to the conduct of his presidential cam
| paign. 1t will report back to ,the full
national committee at such time and place
as Chirman Mack may designate.
| 1t was stated in committee meeting
that the continuance of the retiring Of
ficers until permanent organization was
perfected was entirely satisfactory tc
| Governor Wilson. The committee heard
a protest made by Congressman George
| f. Shaughnessy of Rhode Island against
the seating CT George w Green of Woon-
! socket. but dismissed the protest on the
| ground that the national committee had
/ previously passed on the case.
The committee then adjourned. The
| name of w. f. McCombs of New York
icampaign manager of Governor Wilson.
was talked about both az likely choice
, for either the new national chairman
or head Of the campaign committee.

DECISIVE Battle On

Rebel Front, Bachimba, Mex, July s.
In the heart of the mountains of north
ern Mexico, where Bachimba canyon, 4
natural fortress, controls the southern
gateway to the city of Chihuahua, was
begun today what MAJ prove to be the
final battle of the Mexican revolution.
During six hours OF brisk lighting be-
tween 5000 rebels under General Paseual
Orozco, and an almost equal number Of
government troops under General Vic
toriano Huerta, no great advantage was
gained by either side indications tonight
being that If the rebel ammunition holds
out the issue will not be decided for cey-
eral days.
A federal victory means the end of the
organized revolution and a probably sue
cession of guerilla struggles.
The federals at nightfall were pouring
heavy artillary fire into the rebel posi-
tons.
Colonel Francisco Castaneda. chief of
Orozco's staff, distinguished himself dur
ing the fighting by leading a column that
| lhwarted a federal assault on the north
west He had hardly recovered from his
wounds received in a collision Of troop
| trains ten days ago.
| For five weeks the contending armies
| had been separated by burned bridges
and demolished railway tracks. left by

ment commander repaired 140 miles OF
railroad and several big bridges on the
| Mexican Central railway finally bringing
the artillery to Bachimba, where in the
! nltantime the rebels had entrenched.
|. Attack East and West
| Because of the rugged nature of the
country where the fight began today, an
artillery assault in front of Bachimba
was seen to be impossible. so the gov
crament commander brought his guns
into play on the east and west side Of
the canyon. which winds north and south
for a distance OF three miles. Perpendicu-
| lar walls of rock with occasional Lodges
| guarded both sides of the canyons
| Leaving a small force at the entrance
| to the canyon, 10 guard troop trains. the
| fsdeials moved to the right and left of
| the pass and mingled a heavy artillery
bombardment with the STEADY fire of in
| fantry.
| In defense, the rebels has placed their
| cannon at right angles to Bachin1ba
pass, protected BY large columns of in
| fnntry AS the fighting progressed. there
were desperate rallies of federal cavalry
through the sharp gaps which cut through
| the canyon in many places, but the rebels
managed to check each dash.
The federal shelling did little damage
| In the rebel camp. AT nightfall only
slight losses had been reported.

Department heads connected with
the Hammond city administration ex-
pressed themselves this morning as be-
ing much pleased with the first days
work of the new 100000 gallons a
day pump, which was set in operation
yesterday morning.
Adam r. Ebert, John L. Rohde and
Thomas Swanton. members of the board
of public works. were at the pumping
station yesterday afternoon for a per-
sonal investigation.
Il was we'll satisfied with the way
the pump was running" said Mr.
Ebert Yesterday afternoon she was
pumping at the rate of 100000 gal
Ions a day. She can develop enough
pressure to burst the water mains, but
there will be no need for pressure
that will in any way endanger the
pipes. They had a pressure of sixty
pounds and it can be made consider
ably stronger"
Clarence Jewett, superintendent OF
the water department. said this morning
that the new pump will be amply able
to supply Hammond's water needs for
some time to come.
"Of course" said Mr.. Jewett, 1T must
not be expected that this pump will
answer the city's needs for all time to
come. Hammond is growing steadily
and the water department must keep
pace with this growth. 1t is too bad
that under the present laws the city
cannot go beyond the per cent iimii
| for Indebtedness to complete at once
the system that we are planning. The
new pump will take care OF the city
| for the present, but we will have &c
| continue charging all the time Oui
| engagements should be all means be
| ready by the time Hammond needs

next five years the city Will nave &c
