HEARING
TO BE HELD AT ECHO

Salem, Ore, April 3.-(Special y
An interesting question involving con-
struction to be placed upon the pub
lie utility act in connection with the
exchange of telephone calls between
the Bell company and competing lines
comes on for hearing at Echo on
Saturday, April 5.
This hearing will be on a complaint
filed not long ago by c. p. Bowman.
Isaac II. Gobbell and A. L. Watten-
berg, who ask that the Pacific States
Telephone Il Telegraph company be
compelled to take calls from over
their line in the exchange at Hermis-
ton.
This illustrates some of the inter-
esting questions arising under the So
called Malarkey law, under which all
public utilities are brought under the
railroad commission for regulation of
charges and service. Just what pow
er the commission has in requiring
telephone connections is question
brought to the front by the Hermis-
ton complaint and another from Port
land
In the Portland case an effort is
being made to require the Bell COM
pany to allow the use of its switch
board in the new Oregon hotel for
calls coming in over the Home COM
pany's lines, so that guests may he
called over either line without requir-
ing the building to be completely wir-
ed with both lines or separate instru-
ments in each room.
The hearing at Echo will be con-
Quoted by Commissioners Aitchison
and Campbell, Chairman Miller being
compelled to remain behind at his Of
flee. The hearing will open at 2
o'clock in the afternoon, at the city
hall.

ty" at IL o'clock last night The
charge against them was the larceny
of calf, but the evidence was not
enough to Danish all doubt of their
innocence The prosecution proved
that the two men We're seen coming
from the Roach ranch each with
quarter of veal with him shortly aft
er the disappearance of the calf in
question and in the remains of fire
near the Roach cabin piece of skin,
presumably from calf, had been
found. The defense introduced eight
witnesses who swore that they saw the
two men kill a calf belonging to
Roach on the day the two were seen
with the veal and the question for the
jury to decide was whether or not
these two witnesses We're speaking
truthfully.

4 deputy was stationed in possess
sion of each part of the equipment ta-
ken. The passenger train taken be-
longed to the Inland company and
was due to leave ColfaX at o'clock

Deputy Sheriff Baker, who was sta
toned on it. After the train had been

ened to leave the train. Agent +. H.
came worried by the persistency with
which the deputy held the train and
resorted to ruse to get out of the
yards.
According to the deputy, Agent Ell
bridge assured him that the matter
had just been sett ed and that the
taxes had been paid. He told the
deputy that the papers Were being
made out then at the sheriff's office.
Believing that the matter was ended
the deputy left the train and started
to the court house, which is but a
hundred yards from the Inland depot.
AS the officer was ascending the
steps of the courthouse the train which
he had been guarding started to leave
the yards. The train crew were all
looking from the cars and We're smil-
ing triumphantly at the deputy who
had just been outwitted. The train
was out of the yards before it could
be stopped and it proceeded on its way
to Spokane.
The sheriff is holding the remainder
of the equipment and refuses to al
low any of it to be taken from the
yards Deputies are in possession of
the property. The personal property

 SANTA FEE, Nov. 17.-Fifteen hum dred Navajo Indians reported in an armed encampment on Beautiful Mountain, thirty five miles southwest of the Shipwreck agency, defying United States Marshal Hudspeth to take as prisoners the renegades wanted on federal warrants charging horse stealing. assault and bigamy. Two troops of cavalry have been asked for by the marshal and the request has been referred by the war department to General Carter in command of the border patrol
 It is feared that before the cavalry arrives the renegades will be joined by many more at the command of the medicine men and the plural wife men, who are reported to be stirring the Navajos to rebellion. The In dians are fortifying on the high table of the mountain summit which is ap- proachable only by a tortuous road. Agent w T. Shelton is at the agency awaiting the arrival of the troops
 No word was received tonight that they had started and Marshal Huds beth, after surveying the position of the Indians. returned here tonight with three of the original eleven renegades he had been sent from here ten days ago to arrest Eight others escaped and rallied their tribesmen to their defense before the marshal reached the agency.
 The request for troops was made today after conference at the az ency between Indian Agents Shelton and Parquet and Major J T. Me Laughlin, and after the Navajos had sent word that the renegades would not be given up and they would not only resist arrest but that if at tackled they would resist and burn the agency and kill those in charge
 At the suggestion of Major Me Laughlin the cavalry was asked for because of the moral effect which the sheriff's posse could not produce. An investigation during the day by Mar shal Hudspeth and the Indian agents showed that the Indians are surround ing the renegade leaders and had rounded up their cattle and sheep. harvested their corn and otherwise made ready for a siege

Diplomacy in MuddIe.

NOGALES, Sonora. Nov. 17.-Some of the obstacles developed since the fall of Juarez created tonight a feeling of uncertainty and Encouragement as to the outcome of the diplomatic ex- changes between the United States and Mexican constitutiOnalists President Wilson's envoy, William Bayard Hale, had another conference with Francisco EscuderO, Carranzas minister of for eign relations, but at it's conclusion it was apparent that a situation had aris en which will tax the diplomacy of both sides. It is evident that the fall of Ju- arez and other rebel successes in the interior, encouraged Carranza's lead- CTS to such an extent that they believed the lifting of the embargo on the i'm portation of arms is not as necessary as it previously had seemed.
 On the other hand it appeared that the original expectation of the insur- gents that the ban on the transfer of war munitions across the line would be lifted had been met with more def mite requirements from Washington The barley between Hale and Carranza

If. it were possible to make up a train comprised of freight cars equal in number to those received in and sent out of the city of Phoenix over the Arizona Eastern and the santa Fe. Prescott x Phoenix during the first ten months of 1913, that train would be considerably over fifty one miles in length. This estimate in- cluded only those cars carrying full leads and has nothing to do with those routed via this city and inter changing here. To be explicit, from January 1 until october 31, 7955 car lot shipments were made over the two roads either to or from Phoenix.
 If it were possible to secure figures on broken carlots and on full carlots interchanged here, the figures would not be less than half as much again. The cars interchanged here by the two roads during the month of Octo- her was in excess of 250. Figures as to the number of cars coming into Phoenix in broken car lots or sent

PARIS, Nov. 1f.-CleVer thieves succeeded in extracting ingots of gold valued at $2OO00 from a con- signment of $1,O00,OOO on the way from Constantinople to Paris last week Details of the robbery were made public today. The gold was sent by the Imperial Ottoman Bank of Constantinople to the Ottoman Bank here in forty cases iron bound and sealed.
 The cases, when they reached their destination, looked on the outside as if untouched, but when checked at the bank $20,000 was missing. Each case was freshly sealed as the from tier was crossed The French police insist the gold could not have been stolen in French territory.
 Several great robberies of gold have been under investigation by the police of the European capitals for some time. In November, 1912. $50,- 900 in English soverigns were ex- tracted from large consignment sent from London to Alexandria, Egypt, and in January of this year another $25.O0O was stolen on the way from Hamburg to Rio Janerio.

DURBAN, Natal Union. South Africa, Nov 17.-East Indian residents of Ma tai today declared a general strike. which was accompinied by rioting and burning of sugar plantations. The po- lice force is insufficient to deal with the rioters and the white women and children are in a state of terror. Troops have been ordered to the affected dis trists.
 In Durban itself, the East Indians be- came so aggressive that demand was made for a proclamation of martial law In the country districts hundreds of acres of sugar cane were burned. The revolt was brought about by the exclusive law in force against the East Indians here. They had hitherto been passive but developed today in violent action.
