Federal Leaders Gets Main
Army Out Of Torreon
While Rear Guard Stub

CITIZENS GET OUT
IN ARMY RETREAT
Rebel General Finds Federal
Armies Advancing and
Fears to Pursue Vanquish-
ed Division of Huerta.

TORREON, Mex, April 6.-That
General Refugio Velasco, the Federal
commander, who, for twelve days
fought off the attacks of Constitution
al1st soldiers upon Torreon, had out
witted General Villa at the final mo-
ment of the conflict and had succeed
ed in leading from the doomed city
the greater part Of his army became
known today for the first time when
Indian runners dispatched by General
Benavides and General Hernandez, ar
more troops be sent to aid the rebel
forces that are pursuing the Huerta
troops.
These couriers brought word that
the cavalry of General Hernandez had
ascertained that Velasco was in COM
mand of several thousand men, in
stead of the pitiful remnant that the
Federals had left in Torreon.
Following Velasco's army is long

to destroy utterly Velasco's army, but
with fresh Federal armies marching

Civilians Flee.
The flight of the civilians from Tor
reon began on the night that Villa
captured Gomez Pallacio, General We
lasco, himself wounded in the fighting
at Gomez Palacio, recognized that he
would be unable to hold out long, and
stealthily began the withdrawal of his
troops from the city, leaving merely
handful at strategic points.
While these soldiers fought to their
death, Velasco conducted the main
body Of his army to safety. Before
their retreat the Federals buried large
stores of ammunition at various points
but these hiding places have been be-
trayed to Villa, and he has recovered
the stores.
The rebel commander today reiter-
ated his order that 900 Spaniards sus-
pected of giving aid to the Huerta
government should be deported.

Jerry, the Office Boy, Disc0urses

Jerry. the office boy, was on the

OF business men that "the average Of

the muscles of his legs, wastes as
much energy in walking about the Of

shovel fifteen tons of coal" The doc
tor said other things, too, to the same
effect. All Of which Jerry read inter
estedly. Finally he dropped the paper
and addressed the waste basket

MAYOR WANTS BAN
ON STREET FAK|RS
Robbins Will Refuse License
to Quacks if Law Gives
Him Power.

Mayor Robbins today threatened TO
bar from the city certain class OF
fakirs who have for years done q
thriving business with that class OF
citizens known to the flim-flamming
fraternity as suckers"
The fakirs Mayor Robbins has taken
a stand against are those who invade
the city during the spring and summer
and sell "cure-alls" and trinkets of var
ious kinds on the street corners.
These fellows are, almost without
exception, cheats and they engage in
unfair competition with responsible To-
cal Dealers said the mayor today.
"The street corner quacks sell concoc-
tions which are of no benef1t to their
victims and which frequently are
harmful to them. The old fashioned
street corner medicine show is no
longer tolerated in Richmond. and
there is no reason why the quacks
should be permitted to ply their trade
here. To see a bunch OF these frauds
holding forth on various street corners
gives the town jay appearance"
Quacks and other street fakirs have
been permitted to operate In Rich
mond in the past if they took out a
license. In the future they will be de-
MED licenses if the mayor finds he has
authority to take such action. If,
however. such action would be in con-
flict to an ordinance he will ask coun-
Gil to amend it satisfactorily.
At Anderson, Ind, the mayor recent
ly put the ban on street fakirs and his
action has been commended by the
press all over the northern part of the
state. 1t is understood the mayor of
Anderson ruled against them on the
ground they were public nuisances.

THE YOUNG.
SAYS D|FFENDORFER.
Speaker At M. E. Church
Suggests Remedy for Insti-
tutiOn's Failure to Function

More personal work and q wider
educational policy would do much to
remedy some of the defects of the
church which cause it to fail to func-
tion properly. Ralph E. Diffendorfer.
of New York. told the congregation Of
the First Methodist church yesterday
morning. Mr.. Diffendorfer occupied
the pulpit in the absence of Rev. B.
E. Parker. who is attending the con-
ference of Northern Indiana Metho-
dist churches.
Two chief resason why the church
does not do the good it could do, he
said, are that it is broken up by in
ternal factions. and that the religion
is not vital enough, il is considered
too much in terms of theology instead
of life.
To become a force in the communi-
ty. he said. the church should take
advantage of the opportunity to edu-
cate the young, for upon their early
training depends the character Of their
life. The Sunday school should have
special emphasis. More personal work
was advocated, the speaker saying the
results of the past meetings in the
city depended entirely on the efforts
Of the individuals in the months and
years to come.
With it's high ideals, Mr. Diffendor-
fer said the church should be made
the social center of the community.

LOOK FOR ADVERSE
REPORT ON REPEAL
Administration Forces Expect
to Win Despite Senate
Committee.

WASHINGTON, April 6.-Considera-
tion of the bill repeating the free tolls
clause of the Panama Canal act will
begin tomorrow before the Senate
committee on interoceanic canals. In
dications are today that consideration
of this measure will far exceed one
week to which Senator Owen, leader
of the administration forces, wants it
limited. Representatives of CONNER
cial interests in New Orleans, Los
Angeles. and other cities will demand
hearing before the committee in or
der to present objections to the repeal
and if all the requests are granted it
is expected that final action in the
committee will not be taken until
some time in May. Administration
leaders make no secret Of the fact
that they expect the committee to
make an adverse report and they de-
clare they will be able to win when
the measure reaches Senate floor.

Wabash Officials Seek to

At Attica, Ind.

ATTICA. April 6.-Investigation
to place the blame for the collapse of
Wabash railroad bridge, which
caused the deaths of three persons,
the fatal injury of another and more
or less serious injuries to thirty-five
more passengers on Wabash limited
train No. 4, was started today. Three
cars and the engine of the fast train
plunged through the wrecked bridge
into the Wabash river. The fact that
the day coach, which alighted with one
end in the water, was of steel con-
struction. saved the lives of many pas
sengers. The steel mail car saved the
six clerks who were on duty when it
took the plunge.

Alabama in ThrOes of Hot
test Political Fight Waged
Since Civil War to Elect
Senator.
UNDERWOOD BACKED
BY PARTY LEADERS
Prohibition Forces Oppose
/ House Floor Leader Hob
/ 6oil BASES Campaign Solely
] on Liquor Problem.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, April 6.-Lines
of voters began forming at all the
voting places. in Alabama this morn
ing more than a hour before time
for the polls to open. During the
morning in Birmingham several hun
dred persons waited at every polling
place to cast their ballots the first
popular vote on United States senator.
Boosters of Congressman Underwood
and for Congressman Hobson were
equally confident. 1t was believed that
Underwood's majority would not be
nearly so large as had been pre-
dicted.
The primary election is furnishing
the most bitter and spirited political
fight over waged in this state. 1t will
decide the Democratic nominations for
governor. United States senators Zone
for long and one for a short term) F.,
congressional representatives and mi
nor state officials. Alabama being
overwhelmingly Democratic, nomin-
alton is equivalent to an election.
The real fight in the primaries CEN
ters around the nomination for the
long term senatorship, with Oscar Un-
derwood. Democratic floor leader of
the house, and Representative Rich
mond p. HObson as the contesting can
didates.
Senatorial Fight Hot.
Seldom, if ever, has a senatorial con-
test furnished such bitter fight and
and aroused so much interest, both
within and outside the state. This is
due to the prominence of both candi-
dates, and the issues involved. This
is the first primary held in Alabama
under the new direct election of SEN
ators law.
National party leaders and even the
Democratic administration have been
assisting Underwood in his campaign.
His defeat would mean the repudia-
ton of the tariff law, of which he was
the author, by the people of his own
state Underwood has been making
his campaign chiefly on his past rec
ord in congress. drawing particular at
tention of his tariff work.
Hobson has made his stand almost
entirely on the prohibition question
with side issue of attacks on Under
tool of the liquor interests and an IN
issary of Wall street." and directing
attention to the contribution of Thos.
F. Ryan to Underwood's campaign
fund. when Underwood was seeking
the presidential nomination in 1912.
Should Hobson be able to control the
entire prohibition sentiment in the
state. according to close students of
Alabama politics, he would have an
easy majority, as fifty nine out of the
sixty-seven counties are dry under the
local option law.
