Their Spirits Revived by Last News from
Scene of Battle--Villa Has Forced
Veslasco to Stand.

Juarez, Mexico, March 3I.--Confidence
in General Villas ultimate victory was
restored to constitutionalist sympathiz-
ers here to-day by the receipt of vari-
Gus semi official reports that the rebel
leader had forced General Velaseo's fed
eral army to last stand in the general
barracks at Torreon. Opinion is ex-

at Torreon cannot last much longer.
Villa in Virtual Control.
Washington, ID. c., March 3l.-0ver a
special leased wire between Washington
and El Paso, Mexican eonstitutionalist
officials exchanged reports last night on
the military and financial conditions OF

Senior Zubaran. minister of Gobernacion,
were at FL Paso.

"a, who has just arrived at Juarez.
Juarez, Mexico, March 3l.-Fighting
is being continued at Torreon, according
to information given by the rebel officers
at Juarez to-day, but no details have
been received. Rebel leaders contend
that the main battle for supremacy was
fought last week at Gomez Palacio,
where it is said the losses were so heavy
that neither side is capable of repeating
so determined battle.
In Torreon the fighting is said to be
from building to building, without any
open charges or concentrated assaults.
Gomez Palacio was taken by storm after
three assaults, according to the brief re-
ports thus far received.
The story reaching here last night in
dicated that the federals might have
driven Villas army back in confusion
if they had but followed up the advan-
tage.

0. C. WILL
PAY TAXES

That Grady county is to receive its
share of back taxes from the Okla
homa Central railway at once was as
sured yesterday following the decis-
ion of Federal Judge Campbell at
Muskogee when he ordered the reduc-
tion of the assessed valuation of the
road, upon the plea of Asa Ramsey,
receiver, from $4,000 per mile for the
main line to $4,000, and from $4,000 per
mile to $4,000 for the sidetracks.
In the plea Of the receiver to the
court, it was stated that ne now had
on hand necessary funds to pay the
taxes and it was stated that the
auditor of the road would start at
once from Cnickasha and make calcu-
lations according to the levys in the
various townships through which the
road passes, and tender draft to the
county officials for the total amount.
It is estimated that the total for Grady
county will be in the neighborhood Of
$4,000.
The taxes to be thus paid date back
to 1910, but in Grady county but three
years will be covered. The payments
will continue as rapidly as possible all
along the lines from Chickasha to Lee
high, in counties where taxes have not
been paid. Oscar Simpson, county at
torney. appeared at the federal court
yesterday representing this country.

BAREFOOT BACK
FROM GRAND
LODGE MEET

The national meeting Of the Hello
Bills" recently held at Denver was a
huge success in every respect, accord
ing to B. B. Barefoot, who attended as
the representative of the Chickasha
.. P. 0. =. lodge. Mr.. Barefoot re-
turned yesterday to Chickasha and is
very strong in his praise of the man
ner in which Denver greeted and en-
tertained the Elks
very few changes were made In
the laws during the business ses-
sions.' said Mr. Barefoot. Among
the principal changes the restriction
on side degrees was removed and /:
was made optional with the local or
derg whether or not they put on the
funny work in their limitations. A
committee was appointed to draft a
new ritual. The meeting next year
will be held in Los Angeles, Cal.
"The big feature of the meeting in
my estimation were three parades.
The first was an industrial parade
every county in the state being repre-
sented, all specially exhibiting their
resources.
The second was an automobile pa
rade. featuring decorated cars. The
decorations surpassed all powers Of
description The third and biggest
parade was that of the Elks. It was
immense, both in beauty and proper
tions. The length may be imagined
when the fact is considered that it
took one hour and forty-five minutes
to pass a given point. In my mind the
Detroit and San Francisco lodges
made the best showing outside of lodges
from within the state. / think Pueblo,
Colo, lodge had 1t on all the rest Of
them in the parade. Their decorations
were unique and beautiful.

In Ncrthern Oklahoma.

Newkirk, Okla, July 20 Judge
Hayes, Monday evening, after speak
ing at Ponca City. Tonkawa and Black
well during the day, addressed a good
sized audience from the band stand in
the city park at Newkirk. Senator
Gore had occupied the same platforms
on the Saturday evening before.
Judge Hayes was well received, and
after being introduced by Judge King
of NewlSirk, he outlined the principles
for which he stood, and the work he
would try to accomplish in the United
States congress should he be elected
United States senator. Among these
policies that he stands for was the
farm credit system advocated by Pres
ident Wilson. He pledged his earnest
support to the law that would benefit
the farmers of the entire United States
and TO SO arrange through the agricuI-
tural department law that would
bring the producer and the consumer
n touch with one another, that the
producer wonld receive greater por-
ton Of the selling price of the article
that he has produced. He claimed
that this would be remedied BY taking
from the watered stock of railroad cor
porations the water, SO that the pro-
queer would only have to pay freight
rates upon the actual investment in
the railroads, and by arranging SO that
the producer could shin directly to tho
consumer.
After discussing these national fea-
lures for which he stood, Judge Hayes
stated that he believed it was only fair
for him to discuss his candidacy and
the candidacy OF Senator Gore for
United States senator. He showed to
his audience that Senator Gore had
been a senator from the state of Okla
homa for almost eight years, and not
a single piece of legislation in congress
that ever had been enacted into law,
bore the name of Senator Gore That
while Senator Gore claimed that he
ranked ninth in seniority in the United
States senate, when the appropriation
bill appropriating $3.0O0,00O had come
from the lower house Of congress IL
was so amended by senator who had
been in the United States senate less
than two years that the Indians IN
the state Of Oklahoma would not re-.
celve dollar Of this appropriation, al
though il was committed to the care
and management Of Senator Gore en-
tirely. That if the senator could de-
feat the work Of 4 senator from the
state Of Oklahoma, the senator's sen.
iority was Of little benefit to his con
stuents. He stated that Senator Gore

AS result of the rise in the price
of wheat yesterday, the local market
opened this morning at five cent ad-
vance over yesterday. making the quo
tation rs cents, but so far the advance
has not created an increase in the re-
ceipts. The advance quoted by the
local dealers is more or less a step in
the dark, as was considered the rise in
the market yesterday. This is demon
strated by the fact that the exporters
refused last night to make any bids
whatever, awaiting further develop
nlents in the European war.
Whether or not the price of wheat
remains substantially up depends al
most entirely on the elimination of
possibilities IN Europe, according to
the ideas of local mill men expressed
this morning If Austria and Servia
square away and fight it out alone, the
wheat market will, in all probability,
not be materially affected, but in the
even the other nations of Europe are
drawn into the scrap. the predictions
are that the wheat market, as well as
beef and other foodstuffs, will soar.
This applies more particularly to
wheat. however.
Several reasons are given. Ii Ger
many joins forces with Austria, posi-.
bly, drawing also upon the resources
of Italy and France. and Russia joins
with Servia, the market balloon will
go up. Russia and her allied forces
are wheat raisers and exporters doing
a big business with Europe. The fact
that thousands of men will be in the
field from Russia, will draw many of
the producers from the fields and in
the event the war would continue over
the time for seeding another crop.
thousands upon thousands of acres OF
wheat grown there every year under
normal conditions would never be
planted. thus shortening the crop ma.
terially in that country.
With thousands of men in the armies
on both sides, tons of rations would be
consumed daily and would be drawn
from the resources of the country
without the men consuming this vast
amount being able to aid in any way
