south of ,Juarez, Mexico, federal and
Constitutionalist troops to the number
of 1000 to 10000 on each side have
been fighting since 3 o'clock this after
noon in what is regarded as a decisive
battle.
Cannonading is distinctly heard in
Juarez, and Constitutionalist reinforce
ments are being sent on special trains
and on foot TO the battle scene as rap
idly as they can be assembled and
equipped. Couriers from TERRA Blanca
bring news Of wavering rebel lines, and
the defeat of the rebel army under Gen.
eral Pancho Villa has been anticipated
in Juarez by making preparations to
get the rebels out over another rail-
road should they retreat TO Juarez.
Fighting with the Constitutionalists
are several Mexican women, wearing
khaki uniforms and carrying guns, and
using them effectively. Wives OF Con-
stitutionalist officers and privates re-
fused to stay in Juarez when the move

manded that they be given guns to help
in the fight.

their flight toward Juarez are reported
tonight by persons returning from the
battlefield. The reports have alarmed

by the Constitutionalists to seek safety
on this side of the border and to loot
outlying districts. A posse Of five hun

years ago when rebels menaced E.

Sheriff Edwards at a signal to be given
by the big fire whistle, which can be
heard for miles. All members of the

At the Constitutionalists headquar-
ters in Juarez tonight 1t is stated that

Charges against John y. Carlisle,
State Highways Commissioner, accus-

were brought by Henry a. Rubino,
counsel for the Warner -Quinlan As

which is sometimes called the asphalt

These new charges involve George II.

Mayor of Syracuse and once chairman
of the Democratic State Committee:

District Attorney Whitman admitted
last night that the charges had been
known TO him for many days prior 70
their being filed with Governor Glynn,
who did not get them until just before
he took the train back to Albany yes
terday afternoon.
What the Charges Are.
Much of the matter contained in
these charges has been used in the
John Doe investigation, which will be
continued tomorrow before the grand
jury, and which will result, it is ex-
pected, in the indictment Of former
upstate politician and high Office
holder.
The charges filed with Governor
Glynn allege
That on July : at o'clock in the
afternoon, following conference In the
Hotel Otesago, Cooperstown, y. Y, a
telephone message was sent to the AL
bany office of high state official.
That present at this conference were
John N Carlisle. State Highways Com
missioner; William Sulzer. then Gov
ernor; George H. Mcclure and a fourth
man.
That within one hour after the tele-
phone message was received at the
office of the state official kilograms
were sent from Albany to about thirty
state road contractors telling them
that their bids would not be accepted
because the material specified-asphalt
was not up TO standard.
That these kilograms bore the name
Of Roy K. Fuller confidential agent OF
John n. Carlisle In Justice 10 Mr..
Fuller IL should be stated that he has
repudiated the signatures 10 these tele-
grams.
That on July S. or three days later, a
telegram was sent to the Warner
Quinan Asphalt Company, whose ma
terial these thirty contractors intended
using, informing them that their as
phalt was not up 10 standard.
These thirty-odd kilograms were in
the possession of the Frawley com
mittee, and it is understood the COM
mittee also had the information con-
tanned in the charges filed BY Mr.. Ru-
bino with Governor Glynn, but just
% ha
terial is puzzling to District Attorney
Whitman.
In the charges filed with Governor
Glynn IL is alleged that James x. Nc

been known as n representative Of as
phalt interests, was in the office OF the
State Highways Commission in Albany

The District Attorney believes this

and that he will be able to prosecute

what James w. Osborne, specially up.

that he has complete jurisdiction under

dispute as to his authority. He vii
