can Central track at the Juarez station
Thursday afternoon to take a part of
SalazaPs irregular force south, to re-
pair the telegraph line and to scout for
any rebels who might be in the vicinity
OF MOcteZuma- where the wire is
thought to have been cut
The federal wire which has been
working since Wednesday, went down
about MOctezuma Wednesday evening
and there is on communication with the
south 1t Is feared that the rebel scouts
have cut the telegraph wire and burned
some OF the bridges between Juarez
and chihuahua, to prevent further troop
train movements
A large supply Of bridge timbers
nave been stored in JuareZ for the use
of the military trains in rebuilding
bridges which may be burned BY reb-
els. There are two work trains now

CurbIng the Waste.
-The next principle OF scientific
management is to eliminate waste. In
the past the waste product OF the
schools has been large and in most
places 1t is still large This waste
is shown in failures to advance IN the
grades owing to poor attendance, large
" and poor teaching loss OF time by III
ness lnar could be prevented BY proper
medical Inspection waste due to
pern1cious influences Of streets alleys
and immoral surroundings These are
problems that must be met by better
methods and better cooperation with
the home and all the civic betterment
organizations
Working Raw Material.
Another principle OF scientific man
agemenT IS 70 work the raw material
into the best finished product for
which it IS adapted. Worked out edu-
cat1onaliy this simply means that we
must. put most Of our educational ef-
Tort On the child's best cana bilftfes.
In order to work out these prob
lens IL IS necessary that the educa-
tional authorities have the support
and cooperation OF the home and all
civic organizations that have the best
interests OF the city and its people at
heart In order to render this aid we
must realize that the greatest busi-
ness OF a community is the education
OF its citizens. that the kind of edu-
cation man can give his child is OF
vastly more Importance than the num-
Der OF dollars he can leave him at his
death for he may lose the latter but

Difficult Local Problem.
so far as I have been able to learn
the people OF FL PasO have made q
good beginning in establishing an edu-
cauOnal system suited to its peculiar
conditions The problem here is as
difficult as il is in any town having
a large floating foreign popu-
latiOn- the remedy, It seems to
me, is to supply school facilities for
every child, give him the kind OF edu-
cation suited to his needs. make the
schools the most attractive places in
the city by employing only the best
teachers and making the surroundings
beautiful, and by utilizing the school
plant to the greatest possible extent
In order to accomplish this we shall
need mole money for buildings and
teachers and the cooperation of every
body"

REBEL SHOT BY A
CAVALRY CORPORAL
United States Soldier Shoots Him When
He Crosses River Armed-VHIa
Reported Moving In.

hGDOELGu mOFlnE III
L E. Monteros, Interpreter and ar
tificer for TOribiO Ortega's rebel COM
mand at Guadalupe, east of Juarez,
was shot Wednesday afternoon by cor
poral Fred Smith of troop A, second
cavalry, when he crossed to the Amer
lean side Of the river with arms
Corporal Smith, hidden in the grass,
watched four wagons leave the Mex
lean side and go to Tornillo for sup
plies to be used by the commissary
department during the expected at
tack on Juarez- When the wagon train
started back across the river, the cor
poral stopped the drivers to search
the wagons for ammunition.
Monteros was carrying a rifle. an
automatic pistol and two belts of car
tridges and when Smith stopped them
MOnteros reached for his gun. Cor
poral Smith was quicker in the draw
and tumbled the Mexican out Of his
saddle. The wounded man was
promptly placed under arrest, together
with the four wagon drivers. The
wagon train was also seized by the
lone corporal and with his five pris-
oners he marched into the cavalry
camp at Fabens-
As the provisions were the last of a
shipment Of two car loads which were
being obtained before the move on
JUarez should start, the expedition
against the border town has been de-
layed until more coffee, sugar, flour
and meal can be taken across. A
piece of steel and a fractured piece
Of skull was taken from MonterO's
scalp Wednesday night and he was
able to sit up and devour an army
breakfast at the Fabens cavalry camp
Thursday morning
Col. Ortega, upon hearing of the at
fair on the line, Immediately sent a
message to Gen Hugh L Scott at
Fort Bliss expressing regret that his
man had disobeyed orders and crossed
the line armed. he said that he had
warned all of his men not to cross
armed at any time and that his staff
orderly had disobeyed his orders.
Dr. L D Raschbaum, the German
surgeon with Ortega's field force, is
authority for the statement that Or
tega is planning to move on Juarez by
Sunday. He was in Ell Paso Thurs
day buying hospital supplies for the
rebel Red Cross, in anticipation Of the
battle Of Juarez and said that Ortega
had received 500 achievements and
expected as many more Thursday
night The United States soldiers at
Fabens have seen no additional troops
arrive in Guadalupe.
z. L Holmdahl, an American who
has been blowing hot and cold between
the rebel and federal forces along the
border. arrived from Villas camp
Thursday with the report that Villa
was preparing to move for the 9th
time with Juarez as his objective point
he left Villa Monday, he says and
claims that Villa gave orders for an
Immediate attack, all of which Is the

FEDERALS PLAN TO
ATTACK HERMOSILLO
VIII Move From Guaymas to North
While Troops From Juarez VIII
Move to West, Says Consul.

Bisbee, Ariz, July 31.-G. Ramonet.
federal consul at Naco, was in the city
and announced that heavy reinforce
ments are now on the way to Quay
mas from Salina Cruz. He also stated
that the advance north would begin
in a few days. the first point Of at
tack being Hermosillo.
In the recent movement against the
state troops by general Ojeda, the con-
sui reports that the stories of a dis
astrous retreat with great loss are
greatly exaggerated. as the federals
retired in good order, leaving only one
gun on the field that had been rem
dered useless through service and was
later so wrecked by the federals that
it was little better than junk.
The consul implied that the move
ment north was to be made in con-
junction with a movement west by the
federals at Juarez, thus making two
vigorous campaigns from opposite di-
rectiOns in Sonora at the same time.

tee for the payment of the immense
claims that would follow settlement
of affairs in the republic was dis
cussed at length. One suggestion was

temporary concession OF territory, SUI

claims would be paid.

Little Support From KNOX.
The attitude Of the Taft administra-

he had used every effort at first to en-

that he had received little support
from the United States government The
committee asked him categorically as
to the many instances where it has
been claimed the American consular
and diplomatic officers could not give
fair protection to Americans or their
property. The ambassador denied that
any American had had to appeal to
German or other foreign officers for
aid or protection.
