CUADALAJARA FALLS TO REBEL
ARMY OF OREGON With ROUT
OF GARRISON OF 10000 FEDERALS
Few Killed Wounded Reports Victorious General Telegraph
ing from Palace in the City Cap
tured Thursday

Douglas, Ariz., July 9.-Telegraphing
from the governors palace in Guada-
lajara, General Alvero Obregon to-
day informed F. S. Elias, border rep
resentative of the Constitutionalists,
that he had captured the city Wednes
day morning and utterly routed 1900
Federals commanded by Gen. Mel
In a fierce battle extending over a
zone CT so miles, the Federal army
was cut to pieces by Obregon's force
of less than 10000 men. Five thousand
Federals were captured, Obregon said,
besides all the artillery and ammuni-
ton of the enemy. Gen. Blanco was
sent to cut off all communication with
Mevico City. He tore up the railroad
line and prevented the Federals NOV
ing any stores out of the city.
Very few of the attacking force
were killed or wounded, Obregon re-
ported. He informed Elias that he led
his men personally into Guadaljara.
The city went wild with enthusiasm
over the entrance of the revolutionary
forces, and it is estimated here that
Oregon will obtain $1,000 recruits in

TT has come to my notice that a young

today investigating this story and find
that 1t is perfectly correct. Bardes was
at the young womans house. But he
went there directly after seeing the flee

no Importance to what he had witnessed.
l have also heard that some effort has
been made to show that Bardes was not
responsible. Two of his employers in

upon Bardes in the Jail today and then

Eastern Program Halted

Three successful runs and a men,
orablc annual regatta was the record
of this years cruise of the Eastern
Yacht Club. as Tuesdays storm and
todays fog prevented the fleet from
completing its program. 1t had been
originally intended to visit Block Is
land and New London, but the blow
of Tuesday and the thick weather to-
day snterfered. Commodore Sears dis
banded the squadron this afternoon.
During a break in the fog this morn
ing, the regatta committee, followed by
several of the yachts, started out to
Brentons Reef lightship, but before
the fleet could be sent away on the
39-mile run the mist came in again
and the yachts scurried back into the
harhor. After a consultation of the
flag officers, IL was decided to end
the cruise and give those yachts re-
naming in the harbor further chance
to see the cup defenders in their trial
off this port.
The honors of the cruise were won
by the schooners Vagrant, owned by
Harold S. Vanderbilt, the Alice, own

WILSON FEELS
THAT BUSINESS
MEN ARE COMING
TO HIS IDEALS
Confident Statements
Follow Talk with
Henry Ford

Washington, July president Will
son believes that business men are
coming around to the administrators
view of antitrust legislation and are
willing that the program laid out be
put through during the present ses-
sion of Congress. He made this plain
to callers today following a talk with
Henry Ford, the millionaire automo-
bile manufacturer, and other repre-
sentatives of business.
Mr.. Wilson said business men have
been uneasy over the possibility that
an attempt will be made to be too ex-
plicit in definations of illegal trade
practices. He gave it as his opinion,
however, that the fifth section of the
Newlands trade commission bill, which
Illegal unfair practices in trade,
covers the desired ground very well.
He indicated opposition to empower
ing the commission to give advance
opinions on the illegality of certain
practices, remarking that some men
wanted immunity baths in advance.

upon majority of two to put the
nominations through, but it Is con-
coded that even a half dozen senators

Opposition to Mr.. Jones was based
upon the fact that he is a director of

MiscOnception Exists

From those Constitutionalists who
would talk, it was learned there is a
misconception among the Constitution
alist generals of the things to be dis
cussed at the proposed conferences.
Local Constitutionalfsts therefore, are
considering the ACCESSIBILITY of sending
someone to Saltillo to explain in per-
son the argument for the holding of
conferences.
The telegram from Villa to Carran
"a, advising the rejection of the in
vitation extended by the mediators for
informal conferences was phrased in
emphatic terms. He declared there
should be no parleying with Huerta
except on the battlefield.
That Carranza and Villa have patch
ed up their differences was announc-
ed today by persons in communication
with Gen. Carranza. The military cam
paign of the Constitutionalists against
Mexico City now will be pressed for
ward as soon as more ammunition is
obtained, which is expected to be with
in few days.

In support of the claim that Gen. Obre-
gon is in entire sympathy with Gen.
Carranza and does not approve of Gen.
