deputy sheriffs on the roof of the
| courthouse were shattered by the in
sistent iangling of the telephone.
The excited voice at the other end
of the wire on the Baretta ranch told
of the alleged attack by Battista and
a few minutes later Deputy Shcriffs
Kendrick and Graham were speeding
in search of the Italian.
When they arrived at the Baretta
ranch they found that Battista had
left the ranch and was walking in the
direction of Calexco The officers at
once took up the chase toward the
international boundary line.
Meantime Battista with no thought
of fleeing toward the domain of Mex
leo had leisurely continued his way
toward the north end of the Baretta
ranch which adjoins the f. A. Allen
ranch, about mile distant.
The 2 deputies who left in search
of the Italian had not been absent
more than an hour when the phone
at the sheriffs office rang again and
Deputy Sheriff Cummings, who an
swered the call, was informed by
workers on the ranch that Battista
had been located, at work. The ar
rest followed short time later.
According to officers, the trouble
between the 2 mixers has been Of
long standing. Both men, they said,
bore evidence of having engaged in
combat prior to the alleged assault
last night.
Battista, it is stated, started out in
search of his adversary early this
morning armed with a hammer. He
is alleged to have struck the man on
the head, inflicting painful scalp
wound, and then evidently feeling
that he had justified himself, contn-
ued with his mornings work.
The injured man is not in a serious
condition.

ITALIAN CHARGED
WITH STRIKING MAN

While deputy sheriffs were fran
tically searching in the direction of
Calexico for Daniele Battista, an
Italian milker on the Bob Baretta
ranch, 6 miles south of Ell Centre,
after they had been notified that he
had beaten a fellow worker over the
lead with a hammer, Battista was
calmly working on the ranch. He
was arrested d short time later by
Deputy Sheriff Cummings and a
charge of assault with deadly
weapon lodged against him. The in
iured Italian sustained painful scalp
wound.

New York Aug. 14.-"Id send my
own son into battle if our country
went to war;" said AL. Bryan, the
author of 81 Didn't Raise My Boy TO
Be a Soldier" when | asked him to-
day about Theodore RooseVelt's de-
nunciation of the song in his speeches
up and down the Pacific coast.
Roosevelt is particularly bitter
against Bryan's song-perhaps be-

| Boston, Mass, Aug. 2S.-After dis
| cussion of the naval and military re-
sources of the country, in which it was
| generally agreed that the United
| States was not adequately prepared
against foreign invasion, the confer
ence of governors ended its annual
sessions Friday. No resolutions on
the subject were proposed but several
of the executives said they felt GER
tain that all the governors would re-
turn to their states with the intention
of demanding from their congressman
support in any program for strength
ening the forces of defense.
The governors chose Salt Lake City
as the place for next years meeting
and elected the governor of Utah,
William Spry, as chairman of the
executive committee. other commit
tee members elected were Gov. II. G.
Stuart of Virginia and Gov. Arthur

The conference program, which had
included a review of the Atlantic elect
and parade of 1000 members of the
Massachusetts militia had aroused
great interest in Fridays discussion.
AS result the sessions were removed
fro mthe senate chamber to the more
spacious hall of the house of repre-
sentatives, where large audience fol-
lowed the addresses with frequent ap-

LOW WAGES RESPONSIBLE
FOR LABOR UNREST
FEDERAL COMMISSION WILL
MAKE REPORT OF ITS FIND
lNGs TO NEXT CONGRESS
(By Associated Press }

Kansas City, Mo, Aug. 2S.--Low
wages was found to be the basic cause
of industrial unrest in the report
which Frank P. Walsh, chairman of
the federal commission on industrial
relations, and the labor members of
that body, will present to congress as
a result of the commissions two-year
investigation into the subject. The
report, embodying the personal find
ings of Mr. Walsh and concurred in
by Commissioners John B. Lennon,
james 0. Connell and Austin b. Gar
retson, was made public here today.
"The workers of the nation, through
compulsory and oppressive methods,
legal and illegal, are denied the full
product of their toll" it was declared
in the report, and the resulting indus
trial dissatisfaction was said to have
reached proportions that already
menace the social good will and the
peace of the nation"
Responsibility for the conditions un-
der which they live was placed pri-
marily upon the workers themselves,
who blind to their collective strength
and oftentimes deaf to the cries of
their followers, have suffered exploita-
tion and the invasion of their most
sacred rights without resistance"

MUCH FIRING
ACROSS TEXAS
LINE, REPORTED
STRIP ALONG RIO GRANDE
ABOVE BROWNSVILLE Is
BATTLE FRONT

Brownsville Texas, Aug. 28.-Wha
appears to have grown into a rea
battlefront is that portion of the Rio
Grande stretching from a point about
eighteen miles up the river to a point
four miles east of Progreso, at the
river crossing where Private Viii
liams was recently killed and Lieut.
Roy o. Henry wounded. Firing ac
ross the river at various points in
that territory between supposed Car.
rama soldiers on the Mexican side
and Americal river patrol troops, is
reported almost constant.
Late Wednesday three troopers and
a sergeant who were on guard four
miles beyond Progreso were the op.
jects of several volleys and return
ed the fire. Several hundred shots
were exchanged. Two horses were
killed and one trooper had the heel
of shoe shot away. The firing
continued for perhaps an hour and
with the arrival of additional troops
from another river patrol post fir
ing stopped but has continued inter-
since.
Early today another squad of men
on river duty, eighteen miles from
Brownsville, were fired on. The fir
ing ended after an hour without cas-
ualties on the American side Wheth-
er there were any on the Mexican
side is unknown. Mexicans in both
instances apparently were ,entranch-
ed as none we're seen. Puffs of
smoke from guns were the only tar
gets offered the American troopers.

DEMAND FOR SPACE
PERPLEIING PROBLEM
BOYS AND GIRLS CLUBS ACT
I'VE; BETTER BABIES CON
TEST WILL BE FEATURE

The meeting of the superintendent
OF the various departments of the
Cimarron Valley fair was held at the
, rooms of the Chamber of Commerce
Friday morning continuing all the day.
Most of the forenoon was taken I'M
with questions and problems as to the
better and more economic displays or
exhibits in the departments. The
economizing of space was a burning
question with each department, and It
was incidentally brought out by Secre-
tary Fred L. Wenner that there was at
that moment more live stock space
taken with the fair yet a month off
than that occupied by the entire ex-
hibits last year. Every department
made about the same report CT pros
poets.
In discussing the entries in the de-
partments affecting the boys and
girls club work. both Mr.. Farquharson
and Miss Katherine Smith reported
that the exhibits would be greatly in
creased but that the space would be
rigidly economized 1t was said that
these clubs now embrace $4,000 boys
nd girls, and that the number of active
club workers in Logan county viii this
year nearly double any year previous.
There is at least four times the
amount of canning and domestic
economy work in the county than ever
before. Miss Smith called attention
to the campaign now being waged all
over Logan county, Feed Thyself."
About thirty superintendent and
officers of the fair took lunch together
at Burnett's, and after strictly Logan
county dinner the discussions were
continued with John Golobie as master
Of ceremonies. He and Secretary
Wenner told generally of the many
new and good things which have been
provided for this year, including the
best line Of farm and live stock ex-
hibts ever seen at any fair. Also
hat there would be a greater variety
)f high class entertainment for the
visitors than was ever seen in Guthrie.
