MAY TAKE THEM OVER
GOVERNMENT TELEGRAPH OWN
ERsHIP CONSIDERED.
Postmaster General Burleson Will
Submit Findings on Question in
His Annual Report.

Government ownership Of tele-
graph and telephone lines throughout
the country is being seriously consid-
cred by President Wilson. Confer
ences between the president and
Postmaster General Burlcson have
led to a gathering information about
the practical working OF government
ownership in those nations where
such a system is in operation. The
subject will be discussed at some
length in the postmaster generals
annual report, soon to be made pub
lie, though it is by no means assured
that he will make any positive rec
concentrations.
The postmaster general saw the
president for few minutes Wednes-
day and while they did not discuss
the subject. Mr.. Burleson said as he
left the White House that on previous
occasions when he discussed the sub
5ect with the president he had found
his mind open and receptive to infor-
nation. Though bills have been
drafted by members of congress look
ing to government ownership. none
has been agreed upon as an admins
tration measure. while the result OF
Mr. Burleson's investigations are be-
ing awaited.
"There is no doubt" said Mr.. Bur-
Lesson, "that the inauguration Of the
parcel post and the postal savings
system have given a tremendous i'm
petus to the desire Of people all over
the country to have the government
own the means of communication
everywhere. It is a subject involv-
ing two or three hundred million
dollars and We must go very slowly
in inqu!ring into it. Every great
nation except us has adopted it.
when Sir Herbert Samuels. post
master general of Great Britain. was
here recently, I had two long talks
with him. It has proved a success in
England. do not want to make any
recommendations to congress until I
am absolutely sure of my ground"
Although Mr.. Burleson seems tc
favor the plan for government owner
ship, it is said that it will not meet
the unanimous approval of President
Wilson's cabinet. It is believed in Of
fetal circles Attorney General Nc
REYNOLDS, for one, would show his
aversion TO such a plan if the matter
is seriously taken up in the White
House.

TAKEN FROM CONSULATE
REBELS DRAG YOUNG TERRAZA
FROM HIS ASYLUM.
Outraged British Vice-Consu1 Denied
Means Of Communication to His
Home Government.

Americans who came Thursday
night into Juarez from Chihuahua re-
ported that the rebels, since their
occupation of thai city, had entered
the British .vice-consulate and fore
IDLY seized Luis Terraza Jr., son OF
the wealthy land owner, and after
carrying him through the streets,
placed him in Jail. According to the
Americans, the rebels also served no.
tice upon 100 Spanish residents Of
Chihuahua that they must leave the
city within ten hours.
The entry of the British consulate
and the seizure of Terraza, who had
gone there for protection after hear
ing that his life was in danger, were
reported to have taken place during
the absence of British Vice-Consul
Scobell. It was said that Scobell, en-
ragged at the action of General Fran
cisco Villas troops, was denied facll-
tiles to protest to the British minis
ter at the City Of Mexico or to the
British ambassador at Washington.
and that he then appealed to United
States Consul Marion Letcher.
The foreign ministers are said to
have joined in protest in what was
regarded as violation Of the rights
of asylum under foreign flag. The
story told by the Americans was that
Terraza, in charge Of muck of his
fathers estate, including great cattle
ranges, had been left in Chihuahua
after the evacuation by the Federals
to look after women and children
members Of his family.
Becoming frightened he went to
the British vice-consIlate, and dur
ing the absence Of Vice-Consul Sco-
bell, the rebels, who had been search
ing the town for Terraza, rushed into
the consulate, seized Terraza and
then paraded the prisoner through
the streets, afterwards locking him
in a cell in the state building. 1t was
said that a demand for S250,0OO,
which he failed to pay, was the chief
motive in the arrest Of Terraza.
Luis Terraza Sr., the aged father
Of the prisoner, recently arrived at
Ojinaga with the Federal troops. His
great wealth has been special mark
for discussion in the propaganda OF
the revolution, while the thousands
of his cattle over the state have serv-
ed to feed both the rebels and Fed
erals.
United States Consul Edwards, at
Juarez, said he had received no off,
cial confirmation of the arrest Of Ter
raza up to a late hour Thursday
night. The telegraph between Chi
nuahua and Juarez was not working.

mounted her horse and rode away. y

WILL INVESTIGATE REPORT.
Fake Story Of Burning" Steamer
Sent by Wireless.

The Mallory Line steamer Rio
Grande arrived at Brunswick, Ca,
Wednesday morning from New York
The captain reports no trouble on the
trim down. There has been no fire on
the Rio Grande nor did those on the
vessel know of any unusual happen
ing at sea. The dispatches, read by
many wireless operators in the vlcin-
ity of the Virginia Capes, were trans
mitted to the revenue cutter service
which Immediately rushed two ships
/, to sea and later turned them back
after communicating with the Rio
Grande herself and being assured she
was in no need Of aid.
A confusion of ships names also
served to perpleX those who were
ready for the work Of rescue. The
dispatches said the Rio Grande's pas
sengers were taken off by the steam
er Swanmore, which was at that mo-
ment at her wharf in Baltimore
while the Rio Grande was reported
two hundred miles north of the Dia-
mond Shoals. The rescuers then
raised the Merchants and Miners
Liner Suwanee, thinking she might
be the rescuing ship, 1T her captain
knew nothing of the report.
Finally came messages from the
Mallory Line officials saying the Ric
Grande carried no passengers. Reve'
nue. cutter officers and wireless off.
Gals then concluded that the S. o. S
calls purporting to come from the
Rio Grande were false and it remain
ed for the arrival Of the ship al
Brunswick to confirm their susDl'
cions. Every available agency Of the
government VIII be used to investl'
gate the affair generally.

PLAN FOR RURAL CREDIT
COMMISSION HOLDS CONFER
ENCE WITH PRESIDENT.
Rural Banks Under Federal Charter
to Lend Money on Land Through
Mortgage Bonds.

At White House conference Wed
nesday members of the United States
rural credits commission submitted
, to President Wilson tentative draft
of it's report, and rough outline OF
it's bill to facilitate farm credits,
which they will recommend to con-
gress for passage.
The report submitted by the COM
mission is a comprehensive and vol
luminous document, dealing with the
subject of rural credits in all of its
phases. In it are embodied many
valuable suggestions and recommen-
dations. based ior the most part upon
the exhaustive study and investiga-
tions of the commission on it's Euro
pean trip last spring.
AS he indicated in his first annual
address to congress, President Wilson
regards the question Of rural credits
as of paramount importance. 1t is
not known what suggestions, II any,
he made to the commission concern
ing the report and bill. 1t Is believ-
ed likely that he will read them with
care and analyze their recommend da-
tions and provisions before commit
ting himself finally.
The position of the president con-
cerning rural credits makes it almost
certain that the report of the Fletcher
commission, and the bill to be intro
duced by the Florida senator, will
furnish the basis of legislative action
at this session of congress. Few pas
sages in Mr.. Wilson's address to con-
gress attracted so much attention and
command so much applause as his
reference to the farmers Of the ma
ton. Among the matters Of "domes-
tic concern, it was the first to re-
ceive attention at his hands.
"I present to you," he said, "the
urgent necessity that special provi-
sion be made for facilitating the
credits needed by the farmers Of the
country. The pending currency bill
does the farmers great service.
What the farmers need and should
obtain is legislation which will make
their own abundant and substantial
credit resources available as found.
alton for joint, concerted local action
in their own behalf in getting the
capital they must use. 1t is to this
we should now address ourselves"
Dwelling on this question, the pres
ident invited attention to the work
of the Fletcher commission, and said:
CONSCIOUS of this backwardness
and neglect on our part, the congress
recently authorized the creation of a
special commission to study the va
rious systems of rural credit which
have. been put into operation in Eu-
rope, and this commission is already
prepared to report. It's report ought
to make it easier for US to determine
what methods will be best suited to
our own farmers. I hope and be-
lieve that the committees OF the Sen
ate and House will address them
selves to this matter with the most
fruitful results"
While none Of the details OF the
commissions report will be made
public until after they have been pre-
sented to the president, it is under
stood that the plan for the creation
of a national rural banking system
contemplates, primarily, the creation
Of a division of rural banking in the
treasury department.
