Ell PASO, Dec. 16.-The first inn
portant battle between Carranza and
Villa factions is in progress near San
Pedro colonies, town east of Torreon.
Several columns of Carranza troops
from Coahuila state, aggregating 5000
men, are engaged by Villa forces slight
ly superior in number. Reinforcements
ON both sides are being rushed to the
scene of the conflict. Both sides have
ample artillery and the fighting is de-
scribed as desperate. Small groups OF
CarranZd troops are also moving along
the border 1t appears that Carranza
from Vera Cruz ordered a general
movement into the north, thus placing
himself in Villas old stronghold and
at the same time retaining his coast
and border ports.
The Carranza force is commanded by
Col. Vasquez and Villa is in command
Of the convention forces. The Car
ranZa advance marks the long threat
ened movement to take Torreon, the
railroad center in the interior and shut
off Villas communication with the
north Villa garrisons in northern
Mexico nave been depleted greatly by
the movement into Mexico City and
troops from the national capital will
probably be called upon to enter the
northern theater OF war.
Four hundred men from General GiIs
forces in the extreme east of Sonora
have set out along the border toward
Juarez. which is held by small
garrison. Five hundred Carranza troops
from Coahuila recently passed below
Sierra Blanca. Texas, on their way to-
ward JuareZ.
The situation has been complicated
by the appearance in central Chihua-
hua of General Jose YneZ Salazar, the
former federal leader, who recently
escaped Jail at Albuquerque. 1t was
learned today that more than a million
rounds of ammunition destined for Sa-
lazars small force passed the border
safely.

DENVER, Dec. DEMONSTRATION
of practically all the large institu-
tional charities and benevolencies
centered in New York before which
the leading financiers of the country
will be summoned to testify, was an
nounced by Chairman Walsh of the
Federal commission on Industrial Re

Russell Sage Foundation, the Baron
De Hirsch funds, the Carnegie ben
evidence, the Cleveland foundation,
the Rockefeller foundation and other
charities.
The basis of the work is to be, ac-
cording to Walsh, the charges that
the creation of foundations repre-
seats the beginning of an effort to
perpetuate the present position of
predatory wealth through the corrup-
.tion of the source of public informa-
tion."
The commission will seek to de-
termine according to Walsh, how
the policies of these foundations are
shaped, by whom, their relations to
high finance. the extent to which
their charters may be stretched un-
der te United States constitution and
whether they constitute menace or

LEVY ONLY HALF MILL

An inspection Of the bend in the
Chehalis river at Montesano was
made Wednesday by the members of
the Grays Harbor port commission,
Frank H. Lamb, w. j. Patterson and
A. c. Mcneil, the object of the in
spection being to determine the steps
to be taken to protect the bank from
the inroads of freshets, which are
opening a cut across the bend. 1t is
thought that one more season would
probably open a channel across the
lend, leaving the mills on what would
practically be slough. Two or
three small jetties, costing altogeth-
er from $4,000 to $1,000, will suffice
tc keep the river in its present chan
mel, and will be ordered.

of last year, has been Informally
