Entire Force Of Whites Re-

laws eliminated yesterday in a bloody
battle outside the town Of Bluff in
the extreme southeast corner Of Utah,
on the San Juan river.
The outcome OF the battle is un-
known for the Indians, reinforced by
half hundred supposedly peaceable
members of their tribe, have cut the
telephone wires, which are the only
means OF communication with the lit.
tie town.
Just before the wires were cut 1t
was reported that two Indians had
been killed and six taken prisoners,
and that one white man had lost his
life and two had been seriously
wounded. Then came word that an.
other force Of Indians, under a chief
named Cosey, had crept up from the
rear and had surrounded the deputies.
Previous to this Tse-Ne.Gat had sent
word to Marshal Nebeker that he and
his men would fight to the death, ex.
pected no quarter and would give
none.
Fear General Massacre.
The last word that came over the
wire was that the Indians were sur.
rounding the town Of Bluff and that
a general massacre was feared. It
was also feared that the turning of
the attack OF the Indians from the
deputies to the town indicated that
every man OF Marshal Nebeker's force
had been killed.
Two posses, totaling AZ men were
riding hard to the relief of the town
and the deputies, II they are still alive,
but they had little hope OF arriving in
time. A binding blizzard was sweep
ing over the desert which made the
progress Of the relief party slow.
The joining Of the band of supposed
ly peaceable Piutes to the outlaws un-
der Tse-Ne-Gat was a surprise and
may mean a general uprising Of the
entire tribe. The men under Chief
Cosey are said to have numbered more
than so and Tse.Ne-Gat Is said to have
boosted that more would come II they
were needed.
Fight AZ Of Old.
The Indians fought Just as they did
half century ago, those mounted gal.
Looping in wide circles about the whites
firing as they rode. while others am
buscaded themselves behind rocks
and picked off the deputies. r..
The battle began at daybreak in a
snowstorm following an ail-night ride
by Marshal Nebeker and his men in
an attempt to surprise the Indians.

DISCUSSES
ADVERTISING BILLS
Makes Warm Speech in House Re-
garding Payment For
Publication

Auditor General Powells course on
bills for advertising constitutional
amendments was denounced in the
House of Representatives this after
noon by Mr.. Habgood, Mexican, in dis
cussing action of the two houses on the
deficiency bill.
The auditor general was charged
with refusing to pay bills and not Civ
ing reasons therefor, with failing to
follow precedents laid down for the
amendment advertising for the years
1903, 1910 and 1911 by Auditors Gen
eral Young and Ssson and with paying
bills for other State advertising on a
basis for which he refused to settle the
amendment bills.
He also charged that some newspa
pers had been paid in full and others
held up. In addition to this charge of
discrimination Mr.. Habgood declared
that certain influences which were
strenuous in the session of 1913 were
endeaVoring to make themselves felt in
this session although he and many of
his colleagues had been elected to the
House against those influences.
The controversy prolonged the
House until o'clock, making the ses-
sion practically five hours long and
then adjournment was taken until 3
p. m. when bills will be received from
committees.
amendments Accepted
. The House accepted all of the
amendments made to the deficiency
bill by the Senate except $2,54O.60
which w. II. Wilson, Philadelphia
sponsor for the bill asserted was to
pay expenses of the Catlin investiga-
tion commission in Philadelphia IN
1911 and which the House rejected in
1913, and a provision that the auditor
general shall pay for constitutional
a nd a1 fg
bills rendered. The others including
$4,000 for the Executive Department
$4,000 for the Auditor General to col
lect delinquent taxes, $1,000 for the
Supreme Court expenses $1,664 for
expenses of House returning officers
and $4,000 for legislative handbooks
were concurred in. The Senate then
recet.ed from the amendments object
ed &c. but before the House could act

ments made while the bill was in the

House, but refrained in order not to
delay it, stating that he had under
stood the amendments were to he
made in the upper House. He said
that to-day he was informed the Gov
ernor objected to the provision on the
advertising, but that the Governor
had told him and a colleague that he
had not objected, but would be willing
to consult with a committee of con-
ference should one be named. He
charged that the Governor was being
used as a preteXt and declared that
tho Auditor General had been OBJ
jocting to the bills for years and re-
fustng ia pay on the basis laid down
by hrs predecessors and yet had paid
bills for other State advertising than
amendments on the basis which he al
legged he refused to accept on the
amendment. Mr.. Habgood said that
statements that newspapers were try
ing to mulct the State were false and
asked If the House was going to set
tie questions on inspirations of the
Auditor General. He also said that
infiuances which swayed the House
two years ago were seeking to creep
In now although repudiated at the
polls last Fall. Then he demanded
to know what newspapers had been
paid in full and without question and
charged ulterior motives in holding up
bills of 312 newspapers and raising of
questions not heard of in other adver-
ttsinG. He asserted that it was a ques-
tion whether the State shoud pay 100
cents on dollar of just debts or the
Auditor General be allowed to settle
on basis of forty cents. In clos
ing he charged that the action was
being taken not at the behest of the
auditor genera and not the Governor.
Mr.. Wilson rejoined that there was
no ENHANCEMENT and that tht whole
discussion was not germane. The
words he objected to he had never
heard to until he had read the bill, he
said, and that he had never spoken to
the Auditor General who ran his own
department without aid from him.
:" was advised that the Governor did
object. but irrespective of whether tho
Governor does or not, I do object"
said he. In closing he said he had no
complaint on any Just bills, but want
ed to be sure the bills were right and
that the State got fair deal.
To this the Mexican member ans
wered that some words just spoken
sounded like the session of 1913 and
reiterated his attack on the Auditor
General, saying that the advertise
ments had been sent out and accept
ed, everyone presuming that the rates
of previous years would be followed.
Messrs. Flynn and Baldwin raised
the question whether the whole mat
ter was not one whether the House
would accept the Senate action and
on a vote 1t did by 1874 to g
AT 2.05 the House took recess un-
til 5 p. m. when it will receive bills

TRENTON TEAM OUT.
IS TR|-STATE REPORT
May Transfer Franchise to Phil
lipsburg, N. J., When League
Meets Next Month

Announcement made to-day in a
dispatch from Trenton, that the Tri-
State franchise in that city would be
transferred to Phillipsburg, N. J., was
a big surprise to local owners. The
dispatch says:
Trenton is not to have Tri-State
baseball this year. At least this posi-
tive declaration is based on a state
ment from William ]. Morris, the sole
owner of the local franchise, who ad-
mits that the Trenton franchise Will
be transferred to Phillipsburg. Nego-
tiations for the transfer are practically
completed and it is thought that off,
cial announcement to this effect will
be made at the annual meeting of the
Tri-State League at Philadelphia next
week.
Mr. Morris, of course, will likely
retain the franchise rights, but COM
pany of Easton and Phillipsburg men
will operate the club at the latter
place.
"He has been TO both Phillipsburg
and Easton quite frequently of late
and perfected plans for the removal.
There is no park at Easton, and as
Phillipsburg is a real, live. up-to date
sporting town, at least so far as base
ball is concerned, Mr.. Morris has
deemed it wise to make a change"
One of the first persons to announce
his intention to remain in the Tri-State
at the close of last season was Will
liam j. Morris. Mr.. Morris advocated
a lower limit, and recently expressed
his belief that a cut in expenses would
prove profitable to the Tri-State.
One Harrisburg official said to-day,
that the only person who really
knows what is likely to happen is Pres
ident George Graham of the Tri-State
and he is not ready to give publicity TO
his plans"
