KEEP PATROL BUSY
MEXICAN REBELS FORCING THE
FEDERALS ACROSS THE BoR-
DER AT PRESIDE, TEX.
MANY KILLED AND WOUNDED
Anericans Have Only 500 cavaIryrnen
at That Point TIC Handle 1000
or More Armed
Mexicsns.

Preside, Textile northern divi-
sion of the Mexican federal army at
Ojinaga, Mexico, with its eleven gen.
erals, other officers, and about 1000
soldiers, after a merciless three days
attack by General. Ortega's 5000
rebels, appeared to be on the verge of
fleeing in disorder across the river
into the United States.
The ending of the Ojinaga battle
attended by the most horrifyine
scenes of dead and wounded soldiers
witnessed on the border in the present
Mexican revolution, was declared to
have in store only one possible result
the momentarily expected flight of
the whole federal army to American
soil
With line of struggling wounded
at the border Major NJ N. McNamee,
commanding the border patrol, made
every plan in anticipation of the
flight.
Less than 500 cavalrymen form the
border patrol here. To this small
body of American soldiers would fall
the task of surrounding and disarming
perhaps 600 foreign soldiers, less the
number disabled or killed The abil-
1ty of the American soldiers to handle
the refugees was based, on the as
sumption that the rebels would pur-
sue the federals merely to the river.
An estimate as carefully as could be
obtained of the wounded on both sides
was 1000. Most of the wounded were
left on the battlefield. Those slightly |
injured succeeded in reaching the |
river and were cared for by the Red |
Cross on this side. Scores of unin- |
lured federal deserters came to the |
river and crossed with their arms All |
these were disarmed and forced back |
to the Mexican side.
Many were believed to have died
through lack Of medical attention, as
neither federals or rebels are equipped
with any field hospital service and the
Red Gross officials on this side were
lot permitted to ford the river even
lnder Red Cross flag.
Those who ventured to help the
wounded from the river risked the
LANCER of being shot. A few shots
red by the rebels fell close to or on
he American side north of Presidio
tut no one on this side was injured. |
t was necessary for Major McNamee
o send General Ortega a warning
hat any further firing across the
liver might entail grave conse-
uences

MAY:PROBE THE MuYER CASE
Strike District Gathering Evidence
to Submit to Congress.

Washington.-Advo of a con-

asserted that the deportation of Presi-
dent Meyer of the Western Federation
of Miners would furnish them with the
necessary evidence of a deprivation of
constitutional rights to justify the
House rules committee in reporting
the resolution of Macdonald of Mich
igan.
Representative Macdonald is in the
Michigan strike region. Senator Mar
tine of New Jersey said he had al
ready taken up the matter tentatively
with Senator Kern. The Macdonald
resolution is sufficiently broad to cover
the Meyer deportation case and it was
believed the advocates of federal in
quiry would prefer to have it made
by House rather than Senate COM
mittee.

Springfield, Mo.-In anticipation of
the strike of LOO telegraphers en-
ployed on its lines, the ST. Louis &
San Francisco (Frisco) Railroad laid
off indefinitely 400 telegraphers and
began to transform its telegraph lines
into a telephone system of railroad
communication.
This action laid bare the company's
plans for resisting the strike, to the
utter amaZement of the teIegraphers,
shippers and railroad circles in gem

Removal of all te1egraphic instru-
ments from the company's offices be-
gan at noon and was completed at
midnight. 1t is said this is the first
time such transposition of the use
OF wires has been made by a railroad
to avertsa strike.
The telegraphers were laid off fol-
lowing the passage of twentyfour spe-
cial trains OF engine and caboose over
each division.
Trains were taking all Morse tele-
graph instruments out of stations and
installing telephone systems at larger
division points. Many smaller towns
on the line are without communica-
ton by telegraph.

Kansas City.-R. A. Long of Kansas

to missionary work ON record, was
made by Mr.. Long more than three

made public at that time
