The "hard times which are supposed

lime have not TO any extent affected
she automobile business in this city at
least, but ON the contrary the local
iealers are unanimously of the opinion
chat the motor car business has never
been better and the prospects for good
summer season are very encouraging. In
addition to the brisk sale of machines,
which must also be the case in many
other cities as the factories have been
complaining of inability of filling orders
so great is the demand, the repair and
paint shops are also rushed with bust
ness.
With the advent of spring many auto
owners have become possessed with a
lesire to show off their machines TO the
1est advantage, and the wear and tear
md strains of the winter become even
more visible than ever. As a result
many OF them have sent their machines

Finder, NOT THANK YOU'

To return a purse containing $29.72
and not even receive a thank you, "
as a reward, was the experience of a
conductor employed by the Whining

had boarded a car at Cedar street
and Maryland avenue and rode to
Fourth and Market streets, departed
from the car leaving her purse in the
seat. Discovering her loss the wo-

informed by the conductor that she
could secure her purse by calling at
the car barn Of the company where
he had turned it in. She moved from

Great Britain Backs Down as Mutiny
of Army In ireland Begins.


London, March 24-The detection of
the army officers who refused to serve
in Ulster is now q closed incident, but
its consequences are likely to prove
far-reaching. Premier Asquith and
Colonel Seeley, secretary of state for
war; made explanations before an ex.
cited and turbulent house that the af-
lair was the result Of a misunderstand-
ing. The misunderstanding, 1t was in
ferred, although they did not directly
say so, was due to misconstruction of
the governments plans by the COM
manding general, Sir Arthur Paget,
whereby he informed the officers in
ireland that they were to move on Ul-
ster Tor repressive campaign.
Inc terms on which the officers re-
main at their posts were not disclosed,
bnt the general belief is that they were
assured that they would not be COM
peiied to fight against the Ulster men

Alamosa, Colo.-All the public
schools of Alamosa must admit
Mexican children as pupils and must
give them the same instruction as is
given the American children of the
city. This obligation is imposed in a
writ of mandamus issued by Judge
Charles c. Holbrook Of the District
Court and directed against the school
board and against the superintendent
Of the Alamosa school district.
The suit was brought on behalf of
Miguel Maestas, a Mexican boy, who
has been denied admission to the
school nearest his home. The writ ap-
plies to every Spanish-speaking child
in the city. Alamosa has large MeXi-
can population.
The members of the school board
are George II. ShOne. c. l.. Lahrmar
and Joseph H., Darling. George O.
Thompson is the superintendent.
The defendants alleged that the
court was without jurisdiction and
that the plaintiff had right to ap-
peal only to the county superinten-
dent and ultimately to the State Board
of Education.
Judge Holbrook ruled that the Court
had unquestioned Jurisdiction. and de-
creed that his order should go into ef-
feet April 9th. 1t is considered GER
tain that an appeal will be taken.
The city OF Alamosa has three
schoolhouses. One is known as the
Mexican preparatory school and is
commonly referred to as the Mexican
school,"
This school was built for the Span
ish-speaking children of the city, and
teachers We're selected especially for
it who could speak both English and
Spanish.
The board arbitrarily fixed a rule
that Spanisa-speaking pupils could not
enter any of the other schools until
after having completed the fourth
grade in the Mexican school.

BATTLE OF ToRREoN HINGES
FATE OF THE REVOLUTION.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
El Verjel, Durango, Mexico, March
24.-At IL o'clock Monday. night Cen
eral Velasco led the main wing of his
army out of Torreon proper and rein
forced the suburb of Palacio Gomez,
which is being made the main point Of
contention in the battle of Torreon-
the chief obstacle in the march of
Villa to the City of Mexico.
Villa is storming th?t point with big
guns; has routed the men in the
bitches and has captured 800 men. His
wounded, who fell in the frightful on
slaught, are being brought back to Ell
Verjel in large numbers. His list Of
dead is said to be small, while it is
claimed that great loss of life, rum
ming into hundreds, has been sus-
tained by the federal forces. In a mes
sage received here Villa said he would
take Torreon by noon today.
The real attack on Torreon began
when General Villa occupied Lerdo,
practically without resistance, and be-
gan an attack on Gomez Palacio. The
three towns are practically one in a
commercial and social sense and are
connected by street railway. Torrec
proper represents the military strong
hold, where the main federal force is
gathered under General Refugio Vel
asco. Gomez Palacio and Lerdo are
without important natural defenses,
and in previous revolutions have nev-
er been seriously defended.
The real test of strength is expected
to come when villa, after sweeping
these points, hurls his forces against
the defenses Of Torreon. On this bat
tie, it IS conceded, hinges the fate OF
the revolution.
