MEN "f,RED" FOR EFFECT
commissioner rherne Thinks Dis.
charge Of 10000 Railroad Employees
Was to Impress interstate Commerce
Commissions With Need For Rate
Raise.

Washington. March -30--That the dis
charge Of $4,000 employees by the New
York Central and $4,000 by the Penn
sylvania lines may be part of plan
devised to arouse popular support for
the per cent increase in freight rates
sought by the carriers was suggested
by Clifford Thorne. Iowa railroad COM
missioner.
Il sincerely trust" Mr.. Thorne said,
when asked for his view of the whole
sale discharge. that the exploitation
of the discharge Of these men has not
been done for the purpose Of infiuenc-
ing the commission. If these acts are
done at this particular time for the
purpose Of influencing the decision in
the case, one way or the other, and If
that is the object in taking of some
sixty passenger trains. and removing
other facilities which will seriously dis
commode the public. then these are
very effective methods of broWbeating
this tribunal-nothing more and Moth
inE less
''Out ~ssy such methods are old and
familiar. do NOT claim that is the
object. hopeesncereIy that 1t is net
the object, and that these gentlemen
do not hope to influence this dis
tinguished tribunal in that manner.
Tactics Used in Iowa.
Governor Larabee, one Of the pioneers
in the movement for intelligent railroad
regulation, described in his book on
railroads. with great detail, precisely
these tactics which were used in the
state Of Iowa twenty-five years ago.
"The discharge of 10000 men does
mot prove solitary fact at issue in
&his case. 1t simply proves colossal
power Of few men. that can throw
10000 families out Of the means OF daily
sustenance. We know they had this
power before they ever discharged the
men. II that is to be the test for de-
Gliding this case, there Is absolutely no
reason why the same method cannot
be resorted to year from now and the
following year, and so on for the fu-
ture.
"If such acts are to control the re-
suits in cases involving annual returns
on a substantial portion Of our entire
national wealth, then governmental
regulation is farce-the sooner we
flnd that out, the better it will be for
all concerned-but cannot believe for
an instant that such will be the case.
Agrees Action IL Epoch Making.
"Mr, Willard has stated this case Is
epoch -making I agree with hint is
epoch making 1t Is a test case to see
whether the people of this county are
willing to have the issues determined
by q disinterested, expert tribunal upon
the facts proven to be true.
1.-THE railroads claim crisis exists IN
their business. We accept that issue.
And hope that the atmosphere can be
cleared for fair, dispassionate. we'll
balanced review Of the merits Of the
case, independent OF ali outside II
nuences, brought about by the most
colossal aggregation Of combined
wealth existing in the United States"

VILLA ASSAU[DNG

carranza Awaits Word in Juarsz-
Several Americans Released.

Juarez, Mexico, March 30.-No re-
ports from General Villa were received
this morning and it was assumed fight
ing at Torreon continues.
It was believed here Sunday that the
assault Of General Villa on Torreon
was repulsed. or. at best. that some in
cident unknown here prevented the at
tack.
The last word from the rebel general
came at II o'clock Saturday night
when telegram from him was quoted
as saying that the taking Of, the city
was not matter of hours. but of min
utes.
This was premature, for even General
Carranza said upon his arrival Sunday
that he had received no word from the
front, and that evidently Villa had not
yet taken the federal stronghold.
The attack on that city began last
Friday and up to last night rebel ad-
vices, private and official, were that
Gen. Monclovia Herrera had taken
away some of the most important
points in the city.
News Of Fighting Censored.
There have been no newspaper dis
patches dealing with this attack, and
the similarity Of this situation with
that at Gomez Palacio Is pointed out as
significant. When Villa was successful
there he permitted the newspaper men
to send their dispatches, but when no
was repulsed, as he was twice. press
messages suddenly ceased.
In Juarez it was confidently ex-
pressed that news of the capture Of the
city would form the chief feature Of
the welcome to General Carranza. and
the fact that no message Of success Of
any kind was awaiting him was ac-
cepted a. indicating that the fate Of
the city was still In the balance.
Hsads "cause of .j,sstiee.n
When the newspaper men were. In
.troduced to General Carranxa he smiled
and said:
"well, suppose you want me to say
something
The insinuation was admitted and the
general, after the manner Of man
who recognizes rather wearisome
duty, Grated:
"The time IL coming when the whole
world can plainly see that the great
cause Of which have the honor to be
the head il the cause Of justice. The
path Of better things IL opening up and
the day Of retribution for treachery and
infamy draws close"
General Carranxa said he expected
to spend several days in Juarez, prob
ably till the battle Of Torreon 10 decid-
ed one way or the other.

Villa Reported Wounded.


Chihuahua. Mexico, March 3o.-Gen.
Francisco Villa has been wounded In
his bitter attack on Torreon and forced
to retire from the battle line.
This news. considered by rebel lead
ers here as almost disastrous, was
brought to Chihuahua by q wounded
soldier who claims to have been fight
ing near the rebel leader when the lat
ter was shot. Because of the personal
power which General Villa exerts over
his army and the fear that the consti-
tutionalists, who have followed Villa
into the face of the federal guns part
ly thru love for him, will be demor-
allied, the news has been withheld
from the rank and file Of the rebel
army.
The officers here admitted they re-
ceived dispatches from the front, but
declined to reveal their contents. It was
learned. however. that they brought
news os revcrscs met by the rebels.
Wounded soldiers continued to arrive
by train today. bringing the number
now here to 600. Several hundred other
wounded were being provided for at
Jiminez and others were distributed at
Parral and Santa Rosalla.
New Republic Talk Revived.
General Villas delay in taking Tor
reon has revived the belief that, should
the Huerta forces drive him north,
something in the nature Of q northern
republic, embracing the states border
ing on the United States. will be estab-
lished. The plan Of separating the
north from the south Of Mexico long
has been contemplated by some Of the
rebel leaders. They contend that the
north and the south in the last half
century have developed along different
lines, both politically and industriaIiy.
Unless decisive results are achieved
soon the financial affairs Of the rebel
territory will reach crisis, according
to men in authority. Six million pesos
in fat money Is in circulation in the
states Of Chihuahua, Durango and parts
OF Zacatecas. and this money Is stead
lily decreasing in purchasing power,
with no prospective reserve backing.
while more money 10 being ISSUED.
Despite assurances given by Govar-
nor Chao to the state department that
Luis Terrazas. Jr.. would not be exe-
cuted, Il was learned DEFINITELY here
that Terraxas was threatened with sx-
ecution twice within the last eight
days. He was saved from death within
hours on one occasion
only thru the efforts Of the repreesnta-
tive OF foreign government who
pleaded all one night that the. pr1sener
be Riven an extension OF three days.
The three days extension was STant-
ed and thru another influence tin talk talk
OF execution was dropped temporarily.
