gade was moving against Torreon.
No statement of the casualties in
the desperate street hGhting in

able. ag--
Confirmation Of the rebel victory
in the latter city was received
when a telegram from Gen. Villa
was picked up here. 1t ordered
that certain supplies be sent direct
~ to Gomez Palacio.
Benavides is said to be advancing
from the east after cutting the rail-
road to Saltillo. Strategists here
think he will be the first to enter
the federal stronghold. They be-
lieve the bulk of the federal forces
was engaged at Gomez Palacio and
that, although the latter retired
they will not have time nor spirit
to unite against Benavides, who is
advancing from a different direc-
ton.
The rebels are reported to have
Torreon closely invested, and the
latest dispatches were that the
whole M ny was confident Of the
fall Of the stronghold.
The occupation of Lerdo almost
without resistance and the expect
ed victory at Gomez Palacio would
leave only Torreon to be taken to
the first stage of the
march to Mexico City The con.
quest of Mazatlnn, Saltillo and Mon
terey is taken for granted by the
rebels, once the main federal force
under General Vclasco at Torreon
is conquered.
In official circles here, although
ceased, it was felt that
Villa had triumphed at Gomez Pa
only three miles from Tor
reon, before the day vas over.
In the fighting at Gomez Palacio
last night the rebels succeeded in
much of the federal ar
tillery on Cerro de la Pillar, the
mountain near Gomez. They also
captured the field furniture and.
bedding of the federal commander

THE ULSTER TROUBLE

Here are a few Uf the reasons
for the threatened war against
home rule:
The Orangemen of North Ireland
ever since the days Of william of
Orange have placed allegiance to
the British crown above the Irish
independence.
The lest Of the Irish have waged
a cc~ntury-old fight for horne rule,
which is now nearing successful
elimination.
Home rule would give control of
the Irish government to those who
have always been bitter enemies of
the Orange faction.
This has created a situation
which is a political paradox - us
ter's Oraugemen, who have always
supported the home government in
refusing Irish home rule, now are
in arms against the home govern
ment because it has changed its
policy and faVors home rule.
Ireland has s~triven for home rule
without a moments cessation ever
since the Irish parliament was abol-
ished and the Legislative uniCn of
Great Britain and Ireland was pro-
claimed on January !, 1901.
In the 113 years that have passed
since that date the agitation has
gone under various forms, pacific
and violent, led by such patriots as
Daniel O'Connell, William Smith
O'Brien, Charles Stewart Parcel,
O'Donopan Rosa and Michael Dav-
, tt, to mention only a few Of the
ore prominent. These were sue.
ceedcd by the Redmonds and the
Healys, who are the forefront OF
the movement today.
The patriotic movement was sup,
pressed time after time ny coercion
acts passed by the British parlia,
ment, only to take another form.
The first effort Of the British
government to meet the demart
for Irish home rule was made b!
the late William Ewart Gladstone
when premier, in 1886. The bill
was rejected after its introduction
had brought about a great split il
the Liberal party, which caused tn
secession of Joseph Chamberlain
and other liberal leaders, VIII
since on Irish questions, have act
ed with the conservative party.
Since then several Irish HON
rule bills have been introduced h
Liberal Governments, and the las
one passed the House Of Common:
but was rejected by TIL House Q
Lords.
Q This led to the passage, tire
. years ago, Of the parliament &C

bill, not an appropriation bill, r,

PRESIDENT STOPS /
 STRIKE BREAKERS
Yssues Orders to Mining Operators and to Military Authorities to Pre-
 vent Them Being Imported.

TRINIDAD, Colo, May 11.-Presi- dent Wilson today issued orders to the coal mine operators in the strike zone under military law not to i'm port strikebreakers into the district, and he has, through Secretary Gar rison, of the War department, issued orders to the commander of the troops in the district to enforce the order and stop strikebreakers from entering the strike zone.
 The order has caused much worry to the mine managers, as they had hoped under the protection of the fed eral troops to import strikebreakers and soon bring the strike to an end, opening the mines which have not been destroyed without the aid of the union miners.
 Several mine managers have stated that the mines will be opened by non-union miners or remain closed forever.
 The strikers are happy and say that the operators cannot open the coal mines and will be compelled to grant the terms of the unions for higher wages and better working conditions.

NEGRO 0N TRIAL;
 MURDERED GIRL
Big Copper CoIored Brute First Crim- finally Assaulted His Victim,
 Then Choked Her to Death.

CHICAGO, May 11.-"lke" Bond, a gigantic copper-colored negro, was placed on trial today before Kern sten, charged with the brutal murder of Miss Ida G. Leegson, girl sculp- tress and student at the Art Insti- ute, who was criminally assaulted and choked to death on a lonely prai- rie near Argo, a suburb, on the night of October 5, 1913.
 The case against Bond is purely circumstantial. It rests upon the testimony of Michael Binkowitz, a pawnbrokers clerk. who is expected to take the stand and identify Bond as the negro wHo sold Miss Leeg- sons watch the day after the mur- der. The 'efenss will insist that Binkowitz was mistaken in his iden- tity and will SC to establish an ali bi. Finding herself short of money, Miss Leegson inserted an adv. in a newspaper asking employment .s a nurse in order that she might con- tinue her studies under Lorado Taft. noted sculptor: and other instructors at the Art Institute.
 On the night of October 5 she re- ceived a telephone call answering her adv. and started. for an address in Argo, given her by the voice over the telephone. Early next morning her lifeless body was found on the prairie near a deserted box car. Part of her clothing had been torn of in the struggle and p'ts of cloth and hair pins were found in the box car. in dicating that she eshad been assaulted in the car and H dragged to the spot where her bdd was found.
