Eagle Pass. Tex, April 2.-Dis-
patches from the American consul at
Durango. forwarded to Washington via
this city, are reported today to an
nounce that the federal commander at
Torreon has offered to surrender to
General Villa, that truce has been
granted and the federal and constitu-
tionalist commanders have met and are
today arranging the terms OF capitula-
ton.
General Nelasco. it is said, first called
for three hour armistice and offered
to surrender the town IL the garrison
could march out with honors of war
and If Villa would parole the officers
and guarantee not to kill the volun-
teers as he has threatened. The dis
patch announcing the truce and offer
of surrender has been forwarded to
Washington.
William p. Locker, American consul
at Piedras Negras. refused to reveal
the contents of the dispatch from
been received and forwarded to Secre-
tary Bryan.
Loss Of Life Heavy.
According to information from
authentic sources. General Villa had
taken the railroad station in Torreon
and for the past two days has been
working his way from house to house
toward the center of the city He is
said to have taken nearly half the
town. but the assaults resulted in an
appalling loss of life on both sides
Last night General Velasco hoisted a
white flag, it is said, and asked for
three hours truce to present prop
osition for surrender. The truce was
granted. it is understood and the fed
eral commanders Offered to turn ovel
the city with all military stories if the
lives of all officers and men were guar
anteed.
1t is also understood that Villa at
first demurred. saying that many OF the
garrison. including General OroZco, who
Is said to be in Torreon, were traitors
and must be executed. 1t is said an
other armstice was arranged for today
however, when Villa would probably
accept the offer of the federal com
mander. 1t is known that a federal
column of reinforcements left Saltillo
for Torreon March 80, but as all rail-
road lines are cut it will require several
days for the relieving force to arrive
at Torreon.

RAILWAYS TO GET
PROMPT DECISION
Commerce Commission Is Ex.
pected to Pass on Freight
Rate Advance Case
This Month.

Washington, April "A decision by
the Interstate Commerce commission
on the freight rate increases asked by
the eastern railroads is expected mucn
earlier than had been planned. 1t may
be handed down within a month.
Recent developments have impelled
the commission to put aside collatefal
issues and eXtraneous questions ana
devote practically its entire time to the
rate question.
Such questions as spotting car charg-
es free service of various kinds and
similar propostions that have been
considered with the application of the
roads, it was understood. today will
not be permitted to Interfere further
with the fundamental proposition of
rate increase.
1t is the purpose of the commission
to expedite in every possible way final
disposition of the case and to that
end. continuous hearings will be held
until the testimony shall have been
concluded.
1t is expected then that the case may
be submitted. either on briefs which
now are practically prepared and with
out oral argument, or Oh briefs with
only short arguments.
May Waive Argument.
Counsel for the railroads already
have indicated that they may waive
their right to argue the case orally. and
submit Ii on briefs. They have in some
Instances expressed their willingness to
stand on the evidence adduced. 1T is
believed net to be unlikely that the
commission itself may make announce
ment of it's purpose to facilitate the
disposition of the case.
The method of procedure outlined is
said to be most unusual.
According TO information obtained
today, it is the purpose of the commits
sion to postpone for the present con-
sideration of the car spottlng charges,
| free services rendered by railroads to
shippers and similar side issues of the
rate advance case, but not to abandon
| them.
Explain Their "Plght."
| When the hearing was resumed to-
| day before Chairman Harlan and Com
missioners Clements and McChord.
| President Delano, of the Monon ex-
| planned in detail from charts he had
prepared showing the "plght in which
the roads of Central Freight associa-
tion territory today find themselves
| President Smith, of the New York
Central described the financial situa-
| tion on that system dwelling at some
| length on the necessity with which he
said the system had been confronted OF
| laying off long time and experienced
lemployes and of curtailing expenditures
| in improvements.
"Since September, 1913,' said Presi-
dent Smith, we have been forced to
reduce our operating force by 27.5O0
men. In February of this year as COM
pared with February of last year. we
had $4,000 less men. Our gross revenues
in 1913 were S49,0OO,0O0 more than they
were in 1910, yet our net income was
$3,284,000 less than it was in 1910 be
fore we had put the immense amount
of new capital into the property"
| In response to an inquiry, President
Smith said that of the total of $780,
10000 new capital put into the system
since 1910, only $l6,00O0O0 had gone
into the new terminal facilities and
Grand Central station in New York.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS
BADLY CROWDED
Regardless of Conditions, Most
Creditable Showing Being Made
in all Departments.
HOPE FOR RELIEF SOON
Proposed New Structure Will
Help Orchestra Composed of
Pupils, Prominent Feature.

1t is of vast interest to the people
of Cape Girardcau To learn of the
surprising increase in the attendance
at the public schools of this city.
At this the third week of the second
hail of the year, the enrolment shows
about li75 pupils in all of the schools,
an increase of POI according to the
records of last year at this time.
This goes to show that the growing
population needs more provisions, and
that the new school buildSings cannot
be completed too soon.
1t is to be hoped the new addi.
tons to the Washington and Line
coin schools will be completed bcfor-
the opening of the next school year,
though it is hardly expected that the
new Central building will be ready
for occupancy by that time.
The work going on now in the
High school is worthy of particular
notice. 1t is so crowded at present
that there are 80 more pupils than
can be seated without doubling,
again showing what a blessing the
new buildings will be.
The manual training and domestic
science departments under =. Whit
ledge and Miss Emily Evans, shows
n wonderful amount of success ac-
complishcd in both of these depart
mcnts, and should receive great en-
enlargement from the parents of the
children,
\ new and special feature of the
High school is the splendid orchestra
under the leadership Of Eugene Brown.
These young folks furnish the music
for the exercises held every Friday,
ut which some prominent man of
town is asked to give u talk to the
classes. These talks are usually Of
great interest to the pupils and are
eagerly looked forward to each week,

Hot Springs Needs the Money.
Hot Springs was interested in this
proposition for two reasons. Both
were about equally important. With.

city government would have been
bankrupt. There would have been no
money, it Is said, with which to keep
the schools and fire and police de.
partments going. On the other hand,
saloons were deemed necessary to the
visiting Patronage, for, had the city
gone dry II was argued that the
present season would have fallen off
considerably.
In the beginning an agreement was
obtained between County Judge Rob

whereby certain restrictions to make

might be granted, That agreement
provided that the saloons must close

CERTAIN
The ATTORNEY General Makes
Statement About Decision
by Judge Mcpherson.
PREDICTS A BIG VICTORY
Believes Judge McPherson's Sug-
gestion as 10 Filing Suits
is Only Jest.

Jefferson City, Mo, Feb. AT
torncy General Barker has issued tbo
following statement, explaining the
recent decision of Judge Mcpherson
in the state rate cascs:
Il have just heard that Judge
Mcpherson has refused to further
entertain jurisdiction in the Missouri
rate cases and has said that | may
go ahead with my suits in the state
court. This is splendid victory
for the State and means that the
railroads will have to pay back to
the people all that they have taken
from them in excess of the legal rate.
'Ihc state Of Missouri was COM
PEELED to pay and did pay large
sums of money itself for the travel
ing expenses of its employees. and
also for freight taken To its institu-
tons, IN excess OF the legal rate.
and ] have sued upon behalf of the
State of Missouri to recover this
excess and, incidcntly, have sued
Tor all shippers and passengers SINH
larly situated. ! thought that mas
much MS it was my duty to sue for
the state To recover the States
money, that | might as well in one
suit recover for all shippers and
passengers.
