made upon the MADEIRA company for
100000 gold with threat to destroy

ozco says he does not expect a battle
with the federals at any time soon.
The skirmish near Ojitos several
days ago, in which federals under
General Blanco were repu,sed by a
rebel van guard under Major Casarus
showed, said Orozco. that the fede-
rails are not ready to put up strong
fight.
Colonel Alfonso, with seven hundred
men is now in command at MADEIRA
and no further disorder has occurred.

New York. July 26.-The senate's
unexpected passage of the LaFollette
wool bill presents situation upon
which house majority leader Under
wood thinks the two branches of
congress can agree.
Mr.. Underwood today said he
thought there would he little difficulty
in reaching a compromise. In this
case a bill almost identical with the
one President Taft vetoed on August
II, 1911, probably will go to the
White House within a few weeks.
The former bill was vetoed on the
grounds that the tariff board had not
reported on its investigations of
Schedule 'K". Both houses say the
LaFollette bill follows the conclus-
ions of the board quite closely. The
essential points of the LaFollette bill
and the house bill are.
Raw wool: LaFollette bill 10 to So
per cent; house bill 90 per cent.
Wool wastes and rags LaFollette
bill 25 to 80 per cent; house bill 20
per cent.
Combed wool or tops: LaFollette
bill 40 per cent; house bill 25 per
cent.
Yarns: LaFo'lette bill 45 per cent;
house bill 80 per cent.
Clothes, ready made clothing, knit
fabrics, women's dress goods, etc.:
LaFollette bill 55 per cent; house bill
35 to so per cent.
Carpets: LaFollette bill 50 per cent;
house bill 25 to 50 pei cent.
These are the more stricking COM
parisons When the house and SEN
ate conferences reached a compro-
mise year ago, the raw wool duty
was compromised at 29 per cent;

LOTS OF GENERALS

UNLESS GENERAL OR0zCO EVACUATES
JUAREz SOON, He WILL HAVE
NOTHING TO take WITH HIM BUT
One PRIVATE AND STAFF

Juarez, Mex, July 26.-The rebel
commanders and a generous sprink-
ling of colonies here today find them
selves with an immediate command of
cnly three hundred men. Pascual
Orozco, commander-in-chief of the
Mexican revolutionists, is cronfronted
with a curious problem. If he does
not hasten his long delayed evacua-
lion OF the border city, he may be
able to evacuate with no other than
himself and staff officers. His army
here is dwindling rapidly. Orozco
has an army, but it is scattered over
nolthern Chihuahua and eastern So
nora. A condition responsible for the
situation here is that more men have
been sent out of Juarez than original
~ planned and besides, there is a
steady desertion of soldiers who lay
aside the rifle to accept a section
hands shovel on an American railway.
Since the coming of the rebel army
to the border deserters have contin-
ued to flock into the United States
to be recruited rapidly by employ.
ment agencies.
The federal army, which three
times has defeated the rebel forces,
is approaching slowly from the south
and the rebel bands are hurrying on
to the newly planned campaign in
Sonora.
MADEIRA, Chihuahua, Mex, July 26.-
Several small bands of federals are
reported at Namiquipa and Bachiniva,
35 miles from the Mexico Northwest
ern railroad, and seventy miles from
MADEIRA. These are some of the fed
erals who are being sent westward
from the city of Chihuahua, to dis
perse the rebels now congregated at
MADEIRA and vicinity preparatory to
marching into Sonora.
The rebels have been collecting all
their artillery at Pearson, where they
have been making repairs at the
machine shops of the Pearson Lum.

directed by DR.. F. S. Pearson, of New
York. The repairs having been made

of Bright's Disease.
From Wednesdays Daily

Mankato. His residence in Mankato
was on the present high school site.
Later he moved to Lake Crystal,
and resided there after that time.
Mr.. Scherer was a man who made
many friends and kept them. He

STA TIE IS RUNNING
LIGHT OF MAZUMA

784 compared with $1,312,69215 in
this fund April 80, 1911.
One of the reasons for the depict
ed state of the treasury is that
nearly 100000 was paid out of the
general school fund to the counties
in March and April of this year
This leaves but $1,262.49 in the
general school fund at present. All
of the counties have received their
appropriations, however.
OF the amount now in the treas,
ury theer is almost a million that
may be withdrawn any day. This
is the $556,000 belonging to the pris-
on building fund and the $4,000
in the state prison revolving fund.
These two funds are subject to
withdrawal at any time and may be
needed soon.

st. Paul, May Minnesota has
approximately $775,00O less in her
treasury today than there was at
this time last year. The cash on
hand at the close of business yes
terday was $2,O77,31O.S7. Last year
at the close of business April 80
there was $2,S51 ,3S597 in the treas
ury. Walter J. Smith, state treas
urer, estimates that the disburse-
ments for the fiscal year soon TO
close, will be between two and three
millions more than they were the
year before. This accounts for the
difference in the cash on hand. The
revenue fund this year is only $685.

CLERK BOUGHT NO PENNIES
Some Excitement Caused at Hotel
Heinrich This Morning.
From Wednesdays Daily.

It's a poor day that e. J.. Him
melman, proprietor of Hotel Helm
rich, can't play joke on someone
The result of counter-joke yester-
day was the rousing of the night
clerk early this morning. 1t seems
that Troy Zimmerman painted a
little sign as follows: "$15 given
for 1909 Lincoln pennies. When Mr..
E. J. came down to the office last
night he noticed the sign which had
two meanings. and then he got busy.
First he went to the elevator boy
and put him wise, and instructed
him to come up to the counter while
he and his son were engaged in
a conversation and tell Mr.. e. j.
that the night clerk had paid out
$50 for two Lincoln pennies OF
course this would be overheard by
Troy.
The elevator boy did as instruct
ed, and when Troy Zimmerman act
ually heard that the night clerk had
paid out thirty round dollars for two
1909 Lincoln pennies, he went 'up
in the air.
"Why that night clerk is supposed
to take in money only, not give it
out" he exclaimed, and made for
the room of the unfortunate night
clerk, who was one of the victims
of the joke. Troy reused the night
clerk only to find that Mr.. E. j.
whole affair and that no $50 had
been given out for the two 1903
Lincoln pennies. Troy Zimmerman
swears he will never again try this
joke.

EDWIN GOULD OUT OF A JOB
Retired Today From Presidency OF
Cotton Belt" Railroad.

Especial to Inc Free Fress.l
st. Louis, May l. Edwin Gould
today retired as president of the St.
Louis Southwestern or Cotton Belt"
railroad, and was succeeded by f..
II. Britton, former vice president
and general manager. Mr. Gould
becomes chairman of the board, a
newly created position. No sig
nificance is attached to Mr.. Gould's
retirement as president, and the
choice of Mr.. Britton is in line with
the desire of the leading railway
systems to have operating men at
the head of the roads. This policy
was adapted by the Missouri Pa
cific and the Denver and Rio Grande
when Benjamin F. Bush, operating
head of these lines, was elected
president of both. The Cotton
Belt" recently authorized $780,
900, 900 bond issue, the proceeds to
be used in building new terminals
and in general improvement of the

FIRST AID TO THE SENATOR
Friends Hope For Nelson Endorse
nnent From Convention.

FriendS nope for NELSON CnooTSe-
ment From Convention.
The st. Paul Dispatch says: 1t is
reported that friends of Senator
Knute Nelson will attempt to get
an endorsement for the senior sena-
tor through the delegate convention
which meets in Minneapolis May
Is. A number of political leaders
believe that such an endorsement
will be made. Senator Nelson has
not made it plain whether he will
be candidate for another term,
although his friends feel confident
that he will run. 1t is said that
an endorsement before the primaries
by the republican party would indi-
cate that sentiment in Minnesota is
unanimous in demanding that Sena-
tor Nelson run again. His friends
also want to show the senior sena-
tor that his chances will not be af-
fected by the fight between Roose-
welt and Taft.

night attended the Methodist gen.
eral conference reception at the Ma

Every race Of people, with the ex-

audience. Caucasians, from all
parts were present, the yellow race
was represented, and the brown race
was represented by a Malaysian and
FilipinOs, and about fifty other col
ored men and women.
Reception Was Successful.
The reception was most success
full. The large armory was deco
rated with flags of all nations and
the sight could almost be called
spectacular, the First Regiment band
adding further thrills.
Several delegates from Mankato
attended, among them Professor and
Mrs. George E. Nettleton and Rev.
F. b. Cowgirl. The conference has
about 81 delegates and will last
an entire month. This conference

Especial to The Free Press. I

Harrisburg, Pa, May with fif-
ty-fOur of the siXty-four district del
egates from Pennsylvania instructed
for Roosevelt, as the result Of the
district primaries, the Taft forces
have not yet abandoned hope that
they may wrest control of the state
republican convention, opened today
in this city, from the Roosevelt
faction and capture the twelve dele
gates,at-large. If this plan fails, as
is most probable, it is likely that
most OF the ten district delegates
credited to the president will swing
to the Rough Rider, and thus make
Pennsylvania unanimous for Roose-
welt. .Today's convention has 259
delegates supposed to be favorable
to Roosevelt against 105 Taft men.
If the organization fails to win its
last ditch battle today Senator Pen
rose will no longer represent Penn
sylvania in the republican national
committee, but will give way to a
Roosevelt man.

Baldwin for the presidency OF the

Episcopalians to Discuss Proposition
at Meeting of Council.

EPISCOPdlldnS 10 DISCUSS pTopOStStou
at Meeting of Council.
Minneapolis, May 1.-The allow
ance of a suffragan bishop for tina
Minnesota diocese of the Episcopal
church is expected to be the prin-
cipal feature at the coming couh-
Gil of that church to be held here
May % and %. The outline OF the
work to come before the council
was discussed by the church club
of the diocese of Minnesota. at "a
banquet last night at the Leaning
ton hotel.
The appointment of an assistant
to Bishop Edsall has been consider
ed by the Minnesota diocese at sey-
eral previous sessions OF the council
but not until the meeting last year
at Winona was definite action taken.
At this session a committee OF fif-
teen members with Rev. |. P. John
son, pastor of Gethsemane church,
as chairman, was appointed.
Although the committee will not
make any formal report until the
council convenes here four weeks
hence, it is understood the members
are favorable towards the additional
bishoprical appointment. This fea-
ture of the coming council may take
up so much time that the sessions
will have TO be extended an addi-
tional day.
r. e. Van Kirk gave report of
the national conference held recent
ly at Baltimore The conference, he
said, took UP the relation OF the
church to various social problems
and decided that the church as such
should not commit itself on all So
cial, political and economic prob
lens but that it should take a stand
as to the liquor traffic and the white
slave trade His report was listened
to with great interest but all men,
hers of the church club did not
agree with the decision of the gen.
eral conference.
Rev. I. P. Johnson outlined the
new rules of procedure and how
these rules would apply to the COM
ing council. Under the rules the
council does not contemplate hold
ing its session on two entire days,
but to begin it with an early even
ing service and complete the work
on the following day. This Will hold
good only when the business is en-
tirely finished on the second day.
