Report That Andorson's Initiation Is
Halted Because of Grand Exalted
Rulers Mandate.

Portland, Or, June 13.-When asked
today If he could shed any light on the
reason why Bud Anderson, the light.
weight pugilist, has not been initiated
into the Elks at Medford last night, al.
though the occurrence had been widely
heralded and Anderson had jouneyed
to the Rogue River city especially for
the occasion, DR.. II, L. Perkins, exalted
ruler Of the Portland lodge, stated that
it could easily have been matter of
jurisdiction, as a six.months residence
in a city is necessary to become eligible
to membership. He said, however, thai
no action Of his was responsible for the
postponement of Anderson Is initiation.
Commenting on report that Grand
Exalted Ruler II, B, Mills, Of Superior,
Wis, had ordered a delay in Anderson g
initiation, presumably ON account Of his
being a pugilist, Perkins stated that
this might be the case, although thcro
was nothing in the ritual TO prevent a
professional fighter from becoming a
member of the order. lie remarked,
however that it was a fact that no nc.
tive pugilist, as far as he knew, was a
member Of the order, but said that this
was a matter for each individual lodge
to decide
1t was impossible to confirm the &c.
port from Medford that the application
was not acted upon on account OF the
Vancouver, Wash, lodge filing a plo.
test on the ground of jurisdiction, but
there can be no doubt that some one
appealed to Grand Exalted Ruler Mills
to delay the initiation.

eide, Says Stephens
UNITED PRESS LEASED w1an.I

San Diego, Cal, June 13.-Bringing
probably the first authentic informa.
tion of the true situation confronting
President Huerta, the hOpelessness of
the present administration, and an eye
witness account of the bloody battle Of
Santa Rosa, Sonora, Royal C. Stephens,
of San Diego, has arrived here tola%.
He formerly was with the Southern Pa.
cific in Guaymas.
Accounts of the Santa Rosa fight Tn
May 8, which have reached the United
States have been rigidly censored by
the federals, who minimized their losses
According to Stephens, the Huerta
troops lost between 800 and 1900 of
their army of 1000 men and were sent
back upon Empalme, 20 miles away, in
utter and humiliating route The feder-
ais were trapped in pocket formed by
the hills and picked off by the Sonora
state troops under Colonel Obregon and
the Yaqui Indians under the renowned
Chief Bule.
The state rebel army has been esti-
mate dat 5000 men plentifully supplied
with carload Of ammunition smuggled
across the line from the United States.
SO accurate was the aim of the Indians
and rebel troops that nearly all of the
$50 wounded who were taken and who
struggled into Guaymas were shot in
the head.

Considered Practically Certain
That Suit Will Be Brought
in Court.
OTHER PETITIONS SAFE
eood-sized Margin Left for University
Of Oregon and Sterilization Act
In Check.

Secretary of State olcott today fin
ished checking up the names on the ref
erendum petitions of the compensation
act and found that out Of 7Os5 names on
the petition there are only 6476 that
arc valid. The law provides that there
must be 6Sls names attached to petit
tion. This leaves a margin Of but l64
names, which makes It practically GER
tain that there will be q suit brought
against olcott enjoining him from fill
ing the petition In his office.
The names on the petition against
the sterilization act have also been
checked over and out Of s52o names
247 have been thrown out, leaving a to-
tai Of 1915. On this petition there is Il
margin Of 1868 over the prescribed
number required by law.
The referendum on the appropriation
for repairs and improvements Of the
University Of Oregon buildings has been
gone over and out of 1851 the secretary
has thrown out POI names, leaving a to.
tai of 745O. This petition has margin
Of 1898 names over the requirement.
Many Mistakes Found.
Secretary olcott threw many names
out, and for many reasons, as II is left
to his Judgment what action to take. Tn
one instance the solicitor filed an affi.
davit and specified that the names
wero procured in "Multnomah county,
etc" whereas, there were two names
out of 30 that were In other counties.
olcott holds that the affidavit should
have been specific. In another case the
affidavit did not contain the seal Of
the notary, thus throwing out 20
names, as the petition is on sheets con
tanning 90 names.
II test case Is made II Is considered
that tho compensation referendum petit
tion will be thrown out entirely, as the
margin Is so small IL would likely not
be hard matter to discover other dis
crepaucies.

Federal Men Desert.

Most of the federal soldirs, Stephens
declared were released prisoners from
Mexico City, who had been forced into
the army and were ready to desert to
the constimtionalists. An instance is
told of one company, all but eight of
the members of which deserted, the
captain shooting himself
The federals had been given to un-
derstand that they were to fight the
Yaquis only and were incensed when
they found differently. They were in
most pitiful state after the fight with
their unseen foes, whose losses, which,
while not having been estimated, are
known TO have been thrilling, in spite Of
Federal "official announcements. " Gen
eral Gil, the federal commander, was
recalled after his rout.
Now, says Stephens, Guaymas and
Embalme are the only points in Sonora
still held by the federals and they are
bound to fall shortly. Only the tradi.
tional Mexican policy of delay has per.
mitted those two places, which are
neighboring towns, to remain with the
government forces.
Capital Will Soon Fall.
"When these fall" said Stephens,
"everybody expects the state troops,
now thoroughly aroused, to set out for
