TEN REBELS SLAIN LIN
 FIERCE BOMRARDMEN1

HermosillO, Sonora, Aug. 27.-Al- though federal gunboats and land batteries at Guaymas fired thousands of shells at the positions of the in- vesting Constitutional forces Sunday and Monday, the rebel losses accord ing to telegram received today by Governor Maytorean, from General Obregon. numbered only ten killed and twenty wounded.
 Obregon, however, has retired to Tros Litos, six kilometers north of Emplame, leaving a small force at Batamotal and proposing to draw the federals from their strong hold to a position whence their retreat to Guaymas might be more easily cut off.
 Col. Felipe Dussart reported to Governor Maytorena today that the rebels in Cinoloa had driven the federals practically all out of that state.

 Jos. c. Grew, charge d'affars of the United States embassy. conferred on the subject for a considerable time las tnight with Gottlieb Von Jaeow. German foreign minister Mr Grew asked the minister whether, in view of the announced intention of various branches of German industry to eX- hibit in San Francisco, the German government would not reverse it's de- cision in regard to the official non participation. Herr Won .Jagow re- piled in the negative. giving as the government grounds for it's action the high cost of an official eXhibi- tion, the general backwardness of business men in participating and America's lack of representation in foreign expositons.

 The jury was completed by the noon hour today and the afternoon was given over to profunctory statement of what the prosecution expects to prove.
 Tomorrow will come the stories of Chief Eillhouse, the Reno constable and hotel clerk, and Martin Beasley, of the interruption of the illicit love dream in the bungalow. Marsha War rington will probably appear in the afternoon.
 Attorney Sullivan opened the after- noon by statement to the jury the case of the prosecution. The wit nesses heard at the afternoon session were I. J. Simon, ticket clerk at Sac ramento for the Southern Pacific; M. l.. Jones, Southern Pacific con- ductor on the Reno division; w. l.. Walborn, Pullman conductor, and 5. A. Debrick, the negro porter of the Reno car. All repeated testimony given in the Diggs case.

COINS PROHIBITED
 FROM MAIL BOXES

Washington, Aug 27.-Piclking up loose money has grown to be such a hardship for the overworked rural free delivery carrier that tine Postof- flee Department today issued an order warning reckless citizens against leaving loose coins lying around. Hereafter coins must be tied in bun dies or enclosed in envelopes when ever the patron of a rural route wants stamps from carrier and leaves the necessary amount in the wayside box.
 "The attention of postmasters at ru- ral delivery offices and of rural car riers," says Fourth Assistant Post master General Blakeslee, 'is again directed to the fact that rural car riers are not required to collect loose coins from rural mail boxes.
 Patrons should enclose coins in an envelope, wrap them securely in pa per or deposit them in a coln-nolding acceptable so they can be easily and quickly taken from the boxes, and carriers will be required to lift such coins, and when accompanied by mail for dispatch attach the requisite stamps"
 Lest the temptation to lift" loose coins prove too strong, the depart ment adds that if it is done, the car- rier- disclosing such weakness twill do so purely as a matter of accommo- dation and not by any direction or re- nnirNnnnf of fha dnna rfrnanf ,,

E. Barlow gave him medical attention. The negro was evidently struck by the north-bound passenger train, which passed this place about a. m., as he was badly bruised about the head and shoulders EVi- dently none of the train crew saw him as no report was made by them and the negro was found by other negroes on their way to work.

DROUTH CUTTING
 INTO RICE CROP
Wells Have Not Been Supplying a> Much Water as Formerly.-Yirld
 Probably Below That of 1912.

Stuttgart, Aug. 27.-Now that the rice season is so far along certain statements are justifiable. Raising the cereal to the present time has been an expensive proposition, because of the long and continued lack of rain and the long pumping period.
 All the wood that was supposed to be sufficient to run the pumping plants through the crop has been burned up, and now green wood is be- ing tried Besides this large addi- tional supplies of coal have been bought. Wells have not been supply ing as much water as at the first of the season. and the general lowering of water levels has affected not only the rice wells but the common wells also.
 However, there are two things that are going with dry season: fields lying fallow because of red rice or grasses and weeds that do not water kill are rid of the seeds and these, and the absence of rain water and excess of flooding results in a minimum of blight. Reports indicate that Arkan- sas will not supply any share of the supposed excessive rice crop. In the southeastern section it will not ex- ceed and perhaps not equal the crop of 1912.
 In one direction from Stuttgart there is a net reduction of more than 400 acres this year, which will not be made up by increased yields per acre, and conditions are not better in the entire Stuttgart territory.

DEGREES UNCLE TOMS CABIN.
Man Declares Work 10 cartcature and
Has Done More Harm Than Any
Il is.@5 Other Volume. l ~

II Camden. ~ in an address at the
Camden high school, F. Hopkinson
Smith. writer and artist. said that
Uncle Toms Cabin" had done more
harm than any other book ever writ
ten. He added that the general condi-
ton Of the negro had not improved
since the Civil war, and that the me-
groes Of the south were happier, bet
ter cared for and more content in the
days OF slavery than they were now.
X Mr.. Smiths criticism Of Uncle Toms
Cabin" was based on his belief that
the book gave the world an erroneous
conception Of the negroes life and
condition before the war. He said
the chief incidents in Mrs. Stoves
work we're such as never could have
happened In the south He attributed
much Of the bitterness that prevailed
in the south years before the war to
"misinformation conveyed broadcast
by "Uncle Toms Cabin
Mrs. Stowe, he said, was to be
blamed only for making such use Of
incidents that came to her knowledge
at second hand "Uncle Toms Cab
H." as a whole, he insisted, was a
highly colored caricature that did not
reflect real life in the south.
