TeY LEASED WIREl

VERA CRUZ, May 13.-Tampico Is
in the hands of the Constitutionalists,
according to dispatch received here
at noon. The dispatch stated that
fighting was still going on about the
railroad bridge and in Dona Cecilia,
and the Sixteenth of September street,
but it was only to cover the retreat of
the Federal army under General lara
gosa.
While the rear guard fought the ad-
vancing Constitutionalists, the balance
of the federals entrained upon one
hundred freight cars which had been
held in readiness to transport the gov
eminent forces to San Luis Potosi.
Part of Tampico was reported to be
on fire, and the military headquarters
were badly damaged by shells from
the rebel artillery posted on Cofedria
ridge.

to Ask Second
LIGHT Rate Reduction

Superintendent Kleinknecht also
announced today that because of the
big increase in the business Of the
municipal plant he will ask the city
to install a new unit at the plant, not
withstanding the fact that unit doub-
ling the capacity of the plant was in
stalled last year. Kleinknecht will
advise the installation Of 1900 k. w.
unit which will cost approximately
$4,000. .....
There is no reason why the state
commission should not grant a Pc
tition for a further reduction in our
electric" rates said Mr.. Kleinknecht.
1--WE will show total receipts Of
about $120,O00 at the close of this year
against a $4,000 business last year.
1 can also show that last year the
cost, delivered, of current was two
cents, and that it has now been re-
duced to one cent and two mills. We
now have over 4,700 consumers
against 4,275 year ago."

Another reduction in electric light
ing and power rates. averaging about
twelve per cent. will be petitioned for
by the city in behalf of the municipal
plant, within a short time, was the an
nouncement made today by Clarence
Kleinknecht, superintendent of the
municipal plant. Recently the city
plant and its competitor, the Light,
Heat & Power company entered a
Joint petition, calling for a rate re-
ducuon averaging about Is 2-3 per
cent, but it is not anticipated the L.
H. & P. will Join with the city in a
request for another reduction, because
of late the city is known to have great
ly increased it's business, mostly at the
expense of its competitor. AS mat
ter of fact the Light, Heat & Power
company is more likely vigorously to
oppose any effort on the part of the
city to induce the Indiana Public
Utilities Commission to authorize a
further rate reduction.

MEETING OF EMERGENCY
BOARD CALLED FOR SATURDAY

At a meeting of the state printing
board held Saturday afternoon it was
deemed necessary to call meeting of
the emergency board on account of
the financial condition of the state
printing department. Under the pres

nave TO be turned over to the state
treasurer and cannot be used by the
department. There is now in the treas.
ury about $4,000 OF such earnings,
wheih, if they could be used, would

ing Of the Legislature. Owing to the
entranchisement of women the state

ing, greatly increased, and the appro.
prlation was not large enough to cover
this mprovidcd-fOr contingency.
Acting on the advice of the printing
board, Secretary Olcott has called a
meeting of ,ae emergency board to
provide for this seeming shortage. as
without the action of the board no de-
ticiency can be created, and conse

LABOR BODY ENDORSES
NATIONAL PROHIBITION

Pasadena, Cal, May 26-Cireular let
ters were sent today TO every Central
labor body in the United States by the
Pasadena board of labor, endorsing the
national prohibition measure now be-
fore congress.
Citing the experience of working men
in Pasadena, where saloons were abol-
ished more than go years ago. the local
board contends that liquor is an enemy
of prosperity.
In reply to the argument that brew
cry workers will be thrown out of en-
ployment by prohibition, the letter
says:
"It is argued against national pro.
hibition that many thousands of men
will be thrown out of work, but we
honestly believe that these men will
be better employed in the manufacture
of the many household necessities and
the building of better ZONES, of which
the wives and children of labor are
now deprived and to which they are
entitled,''
