Gen. Jos. ManciIIa, Huerta's
Fighting General, Deserts.
With Son Crosses 10 American
Side--HeId Pending Orders.
Sklrmish Fighting at 0jlnaga-.The
FederaIs Prepare for Brave Stand.

Preside, Tex, Jan. Cen. JOS
Manchilla, one of the most prominent
commanders of the Mexican Federal
army, today deserted, crossing over
to the American side from ojinaga,
Mexico, and was held by the United
States border patrol.
He was accompanied by his son, a
captain. General Manchilla gave a fic-
titious name to the immigration Of
ficials, but on being taken before Ma
jor McNamee, commanding the Unit
ed States troops, he admitted his iden-
tity and asked for asylum in this
country He had discarded his sword
on the Mexican side. Pending orders
from Brig. Gen. Bliss at San Antonio,
he was placed in custody.
Although Gen. Manchilla is the first
officer of rank of the Huerta troops
to desert his post for foreign terri
tory, 800 or 400 Of the regular troops
had previously deserted to this side.
General Manchilla, commanding di-
vision of the regular troops, as dis
tinguished from the volunteers, was
known as a fighting genera and a
strong supporter of Huerta' s. military
regime. lie had been in many cam
paigns against the rebels and he ac-
compared Gen. Mercado in the lat
ters picturesque flight with 1000 SOL
diers from Chihuahua to Ojinaga. His
leaving the army was said by the reb-
els to be the precursor of a general
crossing to this side of more of the
Federal troops.
Gen. Manchilla's crossing leaves
nine generals in the Ojinaga district.
General Caraves was permitted to
cross several days ago on account of
having been wounded.
Skirmish fighting by the outposts of
Gen. Villas rebel forces and the Fed
erals began near Ojinaga today. The
fighting was looked upon as the pre-
liminary of conflict to determine
whether the rebels are to clear their
northern territory of Federals or
whether the Huerta government is to
retain a foothold.
That the Federals intend to show
resistance to the return of the rebel
army to Ojinaga was indicated in the
afternoon when Gen. Salazar, COM
handing 1000 volunteers, started out
to meet the enemy in the direction of
La Mula Pass, one of the approach
cs to Ojinaga. Rifle shooting and
some cannonading could be heard from
the direction of the pass, but the &C
ton did not exceed the proportions of
skirmish.
After a conference Of the United
States immigration, the Red Cross and
military authorities, all the Ameri-
can cavalrymen were vaccinated to-
day on account of few cases of
smallpox which had been found
among the 1900 Mexican refugees now
camped on this side.

Dan Sullivan. president of the dis
trict council of the Federation, Carl
e. Hietala, secretary of that body, and
William Richard and John Antalla,
president and secretary of the Calu-
met district, went on record as hav-
ing been opposed to the calling of the
strike. Antalla said his position was
due to the feeling that when the COM
panies realized the strength of the
union they would be willing to confer
on the grievances and to arrive at a
peaceful settlement All four said that
when they tried to stave off the strike
they had been accused of selling out
to the companies. The Governor was
given figures taken from the district
council records, showing a total of
1915 men. now in the district, of whom
771O were on the relief rolls. Hietala
estimated that some 5000 union men
had left the district.
Then the Governor again went into
the situation in the union before the
strike was called and asked Mr.. Hilton
why the national officers of the union
had opposed the action.
Because they felt that the strike
would entail great expense and con-
siderable suffering and because it was
lett that conditions all over the coun-
try We're such that the time was in
opportune for inauguration of any
such Industrial disturbance" was the
reply.
The Governor told the union men
that he expected to talk with the mine
managers tomorrow and asked them to
give MIN what they considered the
crux of the situation.
A typical reply came from James r.
hoacn, personal representative OF
Samuel Gompers of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor. He said:
The companies today are planning
continuation of their fight against
trades unionism in concert. Yet they
ask the men to deal singly with a
| combination of corporations. 1t strikes
me 1t is time for the companies to
wake up"
NO one is more anxious for a set
tlement than I" said the Governor. AZ
belieye the corporations generally
must come to the point where they
| will recognize unions of their en-
ployes. There is no question Of the
right of the men to join such organ
iZations and the only question con-
| fronting me now Is whether /, as Gov
ernor, can find a settlement here that
| will be of the right sort and perma-
nent'
First on the Governors program to-
morrow will be Victor Berger, Mil
waukee, Seymour Stedman, Chicago
and Charles Edward Russell, New
York, who arrived here today to in
vestigate the strike from the stand
point of the National Executive COM
mittee of the Socialist party. Their
arrival was not received enthusiastic
ally by union leaders, who said the
strike had nothing to do with pol
itics.
I'VE are here simply to investi.
gate" said Mr.. Berger. "One thinp
is certain, whatever the Governor may
say. federal investigation is needed
here"

Million Acres OF Alfalfa.
(BY John w. Wilklnsonl .

NDJ IOhn W. w AAhlhNOhl >.
Automobiles are being used this
month to carry the gospel of alfalfa
and better crops to thousands Of
farmers in eastern Oklahoma. The
slogan Of the campaign is "a Million
Acres of Alfalfa for eastern Oklaho-
ma by 1916" This campaign is be-
ing conducted under the auspices of
the Eastern Oklahoma Agricultural
association by p. G. Holden, director
of the bureau of farm extension of
the International Harvester com
pany, and w. l. Drummond, secretary
of the Oklahoma Stockmen's associa-
tion.
A Thousand meetings or more will
be held in eastern Oklahoma during
the month of September. An excur-
sion Is to be made into every one of
the east side counties centralizing at
the various business centers and from
these places the lecturers go by auto
mobiles to the country. There are
six crews of speakers and every crew
holds from four to six meetings a
day over separate routes at farm
homes and country school houses.
Most of the meetings are being held
on the farms so that those who are
most in need of this campaign OF
instruction can be reached. This is
the Holden method"-going out to
the farmer and helping him to work
with problems that must be solved.
Holden is the man who put Iowa on
the farm map" and made it the
great agricultural state that 1t is to-
day. oklahoma can be made just
as good state as Iowa if the meth
DDS Of farming advocated by Holden
and his assistants are closely fol.
lowed.
He is being assisted in this work
by such eminent authorities as w. r.
Baughman and C. w. Earr of hin.
ois; ]. E, Waggoner and A. A. Berger
| OF Iowa; X. A. Hayne and G. II
Allen of Ohio; A. E. Chamberlin Of
Minnesotai w: D. Mckee of Missouri
and G. H. Afford of Mississippi. The.
are experts who know all the prob
lens of soil and plant growth.
These campaigners are showing the
wonderful value of alfalfa as a sol
enricher and as food for livestock
and how it leads to diversified farm
ing and livestock raising which Il
the basis of all permanent and prof
table agriculture. Alfalfa is com.
paratively new crop in eastern Okla
homa, but it is destined to COME rap
idly into general use in the state.

Farm Campaign Closes

Oklahoma City. ok. Sep. S0.-

campaign of the Eastern Oklahoma
Agricultural Association for better
farming in that part of the state.
The message of a large number Of
agricultural experts under the direct
ion OF DR.. g. p. Holden, which was
delivered to the farmers on this tour
was: 20 have money and be perman
emily prosperous we must grow at
home the products that we use"
The admonition is being needed by
many farmers in this section Of the
state who have in the past been buy
ing bacon and corn and flour and hay
and selling cotton and cotton seed
