GOMEZ PALACI0
IN REBEL HANDS
Captured by Villa After Four
Days Fighting.
HEAVY LOSSES SUSTAINED

Before Rebel Success Is Achieved.
FederaIs Retire to Torreon to Make
Final Stand in Crucial Battle.
Constitutionalist Headquarters Near
Torreon, March 2S.-General villa
and his rebel army, after -four days of
almost incessant lighting, during
which victory seemed first with one
side and then with the other, have
occupied Gomez Palacio. Losses on
both sides have been heavy.
The rebels delivered three assaults
before permanent success was
achieved and at times the battle ex-
tended into the lanes leading into
Torreon proper.
Villa predicts that he will have the
latter city In a day or two.
Federal forces have retreated into
Torreon and there are prepared to
make the final stand in the crucial
battle of the present revolution.
Losses on both sides have been so
heavy that the fighting force is i'm
paired. Federal wounded are being
cared for in Torreon and Villa is pre-
pairing to send the rebel wounded
north on special trains.
Villa took occasion to enew his
acknowledgment of Carranza as su
preme chief of the revolution. The
telegram added that the brigades OF
Generals Benavides, Herrera, Ortega
and Urbina were being concentrated
for an assault on Torreon proper.

The acreage OF the Land reclaimed
during the year of 1913 is equivalent
to about one-third of the cultivated
acreage of all New England.
1t is expected that this department
will expend more than $15,OO0,0 900 in
the year Of 1914. A dam is under
construction at Butte, N. M, for a
reservoir which will be forty-f1ve
miles long and will contain water
enough to irrigate $500 acres of land
with water one foot in depth.
The department is considering an
irrigation project near Lawton,
Okla, which Mr.. Davis expects will
be commenced within a short time.
According to Mr.. Davis there are
about 30,000,0O0 acres of land in the
United States which can be irrigated.
The secretary OF interior at Washing
ton has recommended a bill for the
further appropriations OF 500, ,000, 900
to be used in this work.
Mr.. Davis will remain In Topeka
until late Thursday evening. He will
give lantern slide lecture at Wash
burn college Thursday evening before
leaving. His talk will be on this great
work which the government is carry
ing out s@- Nses

10000 acres. are now under cultivA-
tfon. Nine thousand miles OF canals
have been built. II these were
Strengthened out they would reach
across the continent three times.
Seventy-eight tunnels have been
constructed with an aggregate length
of twenty-three miles. This depart
ment has built the highest dam in
the world, which is located in Wyom-
ing and is 328 feet high. Another
dam is now being built on the Boise
river in Idaho, which will be $50 feet
high when completed. Four hundred
and five thousand feet of fumes and
$4,000 feet Of pipe lines have been
laid. In connection with. this 712
miles of wagon roads have been built.
The service has built and operated
2, 400 miles of telephone lines and $50
miles of electric transmission lines.
Power plants were built which will
develop 10000 horsepower; st. 900
tons OF coal were mined; $4,000 bar
rels Of Portland and $4,000 barrels
of blended cement were manufac-
tured under the supervision OF the
department. Fifty-one miles of
standard gauge railroad were COM
pleted during the year. As a result
of these operations ten new towns
have been established and homes
made for more than 10000 families.
The value of the crops produced on
this reclaimed land during the year
Of 1913 was about $16,0O0.O00.

When the United States rec1ama-
tion service was organized at WASH
ington, d. c.. and the reclamation bill
was passed in 1901 there were many,
many pessimists who took the weight
of the world upon their shoulders and
said that Uncle Sam would never
make the work success. Irrigation
in 1901 was in its infancy. But since
that time wonderful strides have been
made in the work. Thousands OF
acres of desert land have been re-
claimed and thousands of families
given homes.

New York, Jan. 29.-Madame Gather
inc Breshkovskaya,. the Russian revo-
lutionary leader, has been punished ZOE
her recent attempt to- escape from Si3
IBERIA, according to word which reached
sympathizers here today, with a SEN
tence of 18 months solitary confine-
ment. It was early in December last
year that Mime. Breshkovskaya, the
grandmother OF the Russian revolu-
tion," made second unsuccessful at
tempt to escape from the perpetual ex-
lie to which she was sentenced In
March, 1910.
She had been permitted to go to din
ner under police escort at the lodging
rensk. She remained until evening,
when a companion, Anfreeff. dressed in
her clothing, emerged from the house,
pretending to be the sick woman. Ac-
companied by the police the accom-
plice hobbled to the lodging of Nine.
Breshkovskaya, where he remained.
This was on December and 1t was not
until December that the escape was
discovered and all the machinery for

suit that Nine. BreshkOvskaya, dressed
as a man. was intercepted in the ST.
berian wilds and taken back to XII

Mime. Breshkovskaya is 20 years old
and more than 25 years of her life has
been spent In prison or in exile. Her
father was a nobleman and land owner

well known in the United States. where
she has visited. Her present exile FOL

End of the Receiyrship Is Believed to
s-asz . pc mstght.

st. Louis, jan ga conference between
the receivers and bondholders OF the Wa
bash railroad, which was begun in the
chambers of the United States circuit court
here today. is looked upon by local finan-
ciers as "the beginning OF the end of
the roads receivership. Lawrence Greer
and George w. Murray representing the
Equitable Trust company of New York,
the largest bondhoiders of the railroad,
submitted to Federal Judge Adams a form
Of foreclosure decree which, IL granted.
Will order the sale OF the Wabash proper
ties At auction unless the 81 900, coo mort
gage against the road held by Equitable
company is paid within five days.
The conference was not public and the
plans Tor reorganizing the company which
has been In the hands OF receivers since
December, 1911, have not been announced.
With many men prominent In railroad
circles here the sale Of the road is a
foregone conclusion. Others believe some
agreement has been reached between the
Wabash officials and its crditors whereby
foreclosure proceedings will be averted.
The Wabash was put In the hands Of re-
ceivers on complaint of the Westinghouse
Air Brake company which had a claim
OF $4,000 against the road. Later the
Equitable company filed suit asking a
foreclosure.
