UNCLE JOE CANNON
 COMES BACK TO LIFE
LEADS SUCCESSFUL SKlRMIsH IN HOUSE FOR ADDITIONAL
 PENSION CLERKS.

Washington, Aug. 1.-With all his old time fire and vigor, former Speaker Cannon today overturned a a democratic majority and forced the retention in the sundry civil appro- priation bill of a senate amendment appropriating s300,000 for additional employees in the pension bureau. Mir Cannon won his fight, despite the op- position of Representative Fitzgerald of the appropriations committee, who begged his followers to stand by the committee recommendations and disagree to all senate amendments.
 Mir. Cannon fought for the re1e h ton of two other senata@ Amend. ments, but was defeateay These were the provisions appxs 'fiating s225, ,O00 for the continuatSfon of the tariff board. disagTeed to by a vote of 145 to lO9, alnd the increase Of the fund for the enforcement of the antitrust law from S200,000 to S300000, lost, IS to 99 All other senate amend i ments were rejected and the bill was sent to conference with Representa- tiyes Fitzgerald of New York, Sher- ley of Kentucky, and Cannon of Hi nois, as managers for the house.
 The fight began when MT. Cannon charged the democrats with bad faith in passing the Sherwood dollar day" pension bill ana then failing to provide clerical forces sufficient to care for the vast amount of new claims that had arisen under the new general law. He taunted the oppo- sition with the declaration that they never had seriously contemplated caring for the old soldier. but had planned from the outset to pur through the Sherwood bill for politi- cal effect solely He was supported by Minority Leader Mann Chairman Fitzgerald retorted that the addition of the $300000 was a political trick and that the clerical force" would be found in the coming presidential campaign on the musings ito per petuate the republican administration and keep that party in power" He begged democrats not to fall into such trap and promised that if irives- tigation disclosed the need of a greater force in the pension bureau the souse would supply it.
 In spite of MT. Fitzgeralds plead
 ngs, however, sixty-fiye democrats swung over to the republican side and the amendment was accepted 165 to SS. One republican, Represen- tatiye Kent of California, voted against his party The announcement of the vote was the signal for a great demonstration on the republican side.

crltlcaI confIlet Expected.

Washington, D. C., August 1.-Tha- serious and perhaps critical conflict between the government and the rebel forces in Sonora which has been expected for some time, may occur soon, is the tenure of today's reports to Washington from the Mexi- can border. The rebel forces in Casas Grandes are much more formi- liable than were supposed. numbering 1,500 men and six pieces of artillery under General SalaZar and their re- sources have been greatly strengthen ed by ammunition and supplies seized from the American Mormon colonists. The rebel generals, Rojas and Campa have mysteriously disappeared in the Sierra Madras. southwest of Madeira on what is known as the Dolores trail It is not known whether they have permanently separated themsel- yes from OroZcos command just at a time when General Salazar, his chief lieutenant, must bear the brunt of the attack of the government army, or whether they are engaged in an important strategic movement. They maybe trying to cut the lines of communication of federal troops, 1900 strong, under General Blanco. The federals have two guns near Oji- tos, 30 miles from Casas Grandes
 Slirmishes of the two forces are already in touch.
 Madeira is reported still garrisoned by small rebel force but the federals from Chihuahua are reported to be advancing upon the town.
 The state department is receiving many appeals from persons and cor porations owning properties in Mexico to extend protection to them. De partment officials feel everything has

MADERO SAYS GEN. HUERTA CAN PROTECT MoRMoNS AND

PEACE TALK IS RIFE AGAIN
Critical Conflict Between Rebels and Federals Is Expected in Sonora American Doctor Arrested
 at San Antonio.

Mexico City, August 1.-Confidence in the ability of General Huerta to provide protection for the Mormons in the Casas Grandes district and later to whip the rebels into sub jection was expressed at the presi- dents office today. That the rebels will do anything to force the United States to intervene is not believed either by government officials CT by the public.
 Government sympatnizers as well as the friends of General OroZco con- slider it probable that in the case of American invasion the rebel leaders would immediately join the govern ment in it's defense.
 Huerta should have his campaign well under way by the end of the week. He will arrive at Chihuahua tomorrow and from there wiM direct the two columns he is sending toward Casas Grandes to cooperate with that column being moved eastward from Sonora under General Sanjines.
 A report that is unconfirmed but from a source usually reliable, is that General Orozco has again made over lures of peace. The receipt of this latest offer is said to have been the reason for a brief delay in the depar- ture of General Huerta. Huerta had left the capital and was at Tacuba, a suburb, when he was summoned by the president. Several hours later he rejoined his staff and continued northward. Some weeks ago Orozco Is said to have asked for amnesty, including the restoration of all his rights of citizenship, as the price of peace, and was refused according to the story upon the advice of General Huerta. 1t is presumed that his last reported request was similar.
 That the rebels are carrying out their plan of locating the greater part of their army in states along the west coast is indicated in a special to Fl Imparciale from Mazat- Ian, Sinaloa. According to this cor respondent, General Benjamin Arga mendo who has been operating in the states of Durango and Coahuila no; far from Torreon, captured Guada- lupey CalVo. a town of some impor- tance about ten miles from the Sina. loa border and near the southern boundary of Chihuahua. He was op- posed by Colonel Ramon Iturbe, com manding rurales, who lost six killed, thirty horses and three thousand rounds of ammunition. The move ment of Argumendo to the west leaves only General Murillo with less than a thousand men in the Coahuila. Durango region.
 No official reports have been re- ceived by the government regarding the hanging of two men reported to be Americans in Sinaloa, but reports were expected at the presidents of flee, when it was found by the As sociated Press that the individuals were not Americans. The authorities at Cananea were instructed however, to continue a rigid investigation.

PROVIDING GRIT IN WINTER
Hens Should Be Allowed to Take as
Much as They Require-Don't
Feed 1t In Their Mash.
(By w. F. PARRISH.)

When winter comes and the ground

broken crockery will make excellent

plies. A good many people do this
and a good many other people buy
oyster shells with the belief that they
are obtaining grit. The hens need
some of the oyster shells, as they sup
ply the system with lime and car
Donates, but they will not take the
place Of grit. They are too soft, and
digest rather than grind.
Keep we'll filled grit boxes where
the hens can run to them at will dur
Ing the winter months and you will
find that they consume quite lot of
the material in a months time. Pro-
viding the grit In boxes and allowing
the hens to help themselves is the best
way OF feeding 1t. They will then use
as much as IS necessary for their
health, as they are the best judges of
this matter and consequently will not
consume more than they require.
If we always knew how much would
be needed for the health of the birds,
1t would be all right to mix the grit
with the feed. But since we do not
know this, we would best not force
grit upon them as we would be doing
If we mixed 1t with the feed.

Books With Uncut Leaves.

In this country and Germany the
practice Of publishing books and
magazines with uncut leaves has
largely fallen into disuse, but It is
still common in France. where its
prevalence provides a dissatisfied au-
thor with a cause for grumbling. In
La Grande Revue among other
hindrances to the reading habit which
Is 80 much in need Of encouragement,
at any rate from the authors point Of
view, he instances the practice of
publishing books with uncut edges.
Time, he says. is growing more
valuable every year and yet the read
er Of a French volume Of average
proportions has to spend about twenty
minutes in the pettifogging work of
cutting the leaves in order 10 get at
the contents. Some people of course
who take their reading in leisurely
fashion rather like being checked by
the need for using paper knife, but
the ordinary reader does not want
to be bothered in this way He likes
to go straight ahead without being
compelled to cut his way through the
book as he proceeds-Westmins
