CITY IS IN TERROR
Foreigners Warned TO Flee as Federal
Troops Advance.

Piedras Negras, Mex.-Terror has
gripped this city, the provisional cap
ital of the Mexican Constitutionalists,
with the victorious nOrthward march
Of the Federals and the arrival of
hundreds Of refugees from the sur
rounding devastated country.
Obeying the instructions of United
States Consul Blocker, American resi-
dents of Piedras Negras joined the ex-
odus and hundreds of persons crossed
the international bridge into Eagle
Pass, many carrying on their backs
such of their possessions as they
could assemble hurriedly.
Consul Blocker's warning to foreign
ers to quit Piedras Negras Immediate
ly was in anticipation Of rioting should
the Constitutionalists be forced to
abandon their provisional capital. AS
the rebel army is being driven north
ward by the government troops under
General Mas the retreating insur-
gents are setting fire to villages.
Reports from the front indicate that
the Federals are closing in on the
town of Sabinas, from which the Con-
stitutionalists are expected to fall
back on either Matamoras, across the
line from Brownsville, Tex, or on
Piedras Negras.
United States troops are hurrying
from San Antonio to reinforce the
garrison at Eagle Pass.
w. w. Vaughan, wellkn0wn en-
gineer, and Afford Williams, a drug
gist, were ordered peremptorily to va
cate their homes with their families
on constitutionalist notification that
the property would be destroyed, de-
spite any protest to the American gov
eminent, for the reason that it was
owned by federal sympathizers. Per
mission was refused to many Mexican
refugees and large number of jap
anese to enter the United States.
It was said that the Mexicans were
likely to become public charges and
that the Japanese had not made prop
er application.
An appeal to Washington for excep-
ton in the latter case will allege that
the Japanese are in danger of death
from the federals for having aided the
constitutionalists.
It is reported that many prisoners
confined in the Jail on sedition charges
have been shot, among them Felipe
Sanchez, wanted in Carizzo Springs,
Tex, as member of the smuggling
band charged with the murder OF
deputy sheriff.
About 1000 of the refugees who
crossed the international bridge here
were unable to obtain lodging in Eagle
Pass and it was necessary to open
public buildings and obtain empty
boxcars to afford them shelter.

Wheat Falls; Growers Unload.

Davenport Quotation for blue
stem No. 1 wheat, which have been
hanging around n cents, took a drop
to rs cents on the local board Thurs
day and many of the growers scram-
bled to contract a portion of their
crop. About $4,000 bushels were con-
tracted at the new level.
Harvest, aided by dry weather, con-
tinues from daylight until an hour
after dark and at the present rate all
threshing will be completed in three
weeks. Many of the farmers are SOW
ing fall grain, while everywhere there
is a demand for teams for fall plow-
ing. Encouraged by the results OF the
present crop, more acreage will here
after be placed to winter wheat.

INDIAN PROBLEM Is SUBJECT
Commission Would Know If Wards
Want to Cultivate Lands.

Want to Cultivate Lands.
North Yakima.-To decide whether
the Indian owners of land on the va
kima reservation really want to cul-
tivate it: what are the best crops that
can be grown, and the extent to which
irrigation is desirable, are the three
matters into which the joint congress
sional committee now in North Yaki-
ma will make it's inquiries.
The day was occupied by reading
evidence into the record as prelimi-
harry to visiting the reservation. The
five members of congress took an
automobile trip over the WapatO prof.
ect. They will go over the Sunnyside
unit of the Yakima project to com
pare the workings of the two systems,
one built by the Indian department
and the other by the reclamation serv-
ice.
The members Of the congressional
committee are Senator j. T. Robinson
of Arkansas, Senator c. E. Townsend
of Michigan, and Representatives G..
D. Carter of Oklahoma, j. III. Stephens
of Texas and C. H. Burke Of South
Dakota.
One of the bones of contention In
the investigation is alleged discrimi-
nation by the reclamation service in
it's respective grants of water to the
Sunnyside and the reservation units
That the commission will go into
the matter of the needs of the reser-
walton people was shown by the trend
of questioning. The treaty rights of
the Indians, and whether the treaty
of 1855 gave the Indians right to
more water than their present allow
ance was gone into particularly.
Major Jay Lynch, for years agent
on the Yakima reservation, told the
history of irrigation of the Indian
lands, beginning as far back as 1856.
He told of the first irrigation bitches
that were constructed by the whites
on the reservation and of the protests
of Indians at that time. He urged
that the treaty of 1855 entitled the In
dams to half the water that would
flow normally through the Union gap.

President Wilson signed the III

house. simultaneously kilograms wa1 .e

since 1894. ''ioa
A happy group of legislators mo,
bers of the cabinet and friends ~
circled the president as he signed t ~,
bill, using two gold pens. He preser.
ed to Representative Underwood ths
pen that had written the word "Wo se
row." and the one which had conn.,.
ed his. name to Senator Simmons
Amid impressive silence the nres;
dent delivered in easy, natural tona.
an extemporaneous speech thst
brought prolonged applause.
He said that the journey of legislo
tive accomplishment had only hoor
partly completed; that great service
had been done for the rank and fila
of the country, but that the second
step in the emancipation of business
was currency reform. He earnestly
called upon his colleagues to 20 "ths
rest of the journey" with fresh i'm.
pulse.
Gentlemen, feel peculiarly pleas.
ed" the president began, "in what
l have just done by taking part in
the completion Of a great piece NJ
business. It is a pleasure which is
very hard to express in words which
are adequate to express the feeling.
because the feeling that have is that
we have done the rank and file Of
the people Of this country a great
service.
ut is hard to speak of these things
without seeming to go off into cam.
paign eloquence, but that is not nv
feeling. 1t is a feeling of profound
gratitude that, working with the splen.
did men who have carried this thing
through with studious attention and
doing justice all around, should have
had a part in serving the people Of
this country as we have been striving
to serve them ever since can remem.
Der.

plishment of something like this ever
since I was a boy, and l know men
standing around me who can say the
same thing-who have been waiting
to see the things done which it was
necessary to do in order that there
might be justice in the United States.
"And so it is a solemn moment that
brings business to a conclusion and |
hope will not be thought demanding
too much of myself or colleagues
when I say that this, great as it is, IL
the accomplishment of only half the
journey. We have set the business OF
this country free from those condt
tions which have made monopoly not
only possible, but in a sense easy and
natural. But there is no use taking
away the conditions of monopoly II
we do not take away also the poWes
to create monopoly, and that in a Il
nancial, rather than merely COM
mercial and economic power"

Street Peril Emphasized.

New York.-The National Highways
Protective Society has placed it's ban
on roller skating, 'one-old cat,' push
mobiles and other Juvenile street
amusements. The September report
shows an unusually large number of
children killed or injured in street
accidents. The secretary of the or
ganization said that school teachers
should warn pupils of the ever-increas-
ing danger of playing on the streets
and that clergymen urge parents to
forbid their children to use the streets.
Since the first of the year 1913 children
have been killed.

RANSOM WILL SAVE CAPTIVES
To Rescue Missionaries Bandits Must
Be Bought.

Pekin.-Reports that foreigners
were being maltreated by Chinese
brigands at Tsao Yang has given
much concern to the American lega-
ton. 1t is feared the Chinese govern
ment troops will not be able to secure
the release of the American and Nor
wegian missionaries held in captivity
there. These troops are neither capa-
BILE nor loyal
The legation believes ransoms may
have to be paid to save the lives of
those in captivity. 1t is believed that
the ransoms demanded may not be
heavy, as Chinese ideas in monetary
matters are not extravagant.
By the efforts of the American lega-
ton and consulates, the missionaries
have been kept out of unsafe districts
the past two years.

DEMAND REFORM IN LAWS
Joint Legislative Committee Outlines
Its Program.

North Yakima. A comprehensive
legislative program, calling for a
blue sky" law, consolidation of boards
and commissions, lower taxes and 9TH
er measures was outlined here by the
joint committee of the farmers union,
the state federation of labor, the state
grange and the direct legislation
league, which met in the labor temple
in this city.
The joint committee proposes to
establish headquarters at once and to
begin work on petitions for bringing
the measures before the voters at the
general election in 1914. 4.
A statement Of the work Of the
committee at this session and its
plans was given out by Charles r.

federation of labor, and chairman of
the publicity committee of the joint
organization.
"The joint body was formed two
years ago at meeting held then in
North Yakima. It's work was new
then" said Mr.. Case. "The two years
of experience have proved that the
form of organization is satisfactory.
"The work of the meeting this year
was 10 make permanent the organiza-
ton. The same officers were elected"

ton of the four bodies it represents
in regard to the policy of pledging
legislative candidates during the com
ing year on a limited number of meas
