OREGON The Gen, GRANT
OF MEXICAN REVOLUTION

VERA CRUZ, Mex, July 90
When Cincinnatus left his pillow to
answer the call of battle, when
Grant foresook the peaceful,
the odiferous pursuit of tanning,
for the sword and buckler, neither
accomplished anything that has
not been equaled by Alvaro Obre-
gon, the latest Napoleon" of
Mexico.
Gen. Alvaro Obregon is, for
the moment, the name to conjure
with. Farmer, student, machin-
list, he is of the uncertain and not
very we'll defined middle class of
Mexico.
A slight strain of Yaqui Indian
blood gives Obregon high cheek
bone, but the predominating
Spanish blood gives him a COM
plexion more white than that Of
his fellows.
When Victoriano Huerta came
into power, and It was seen in
Mexico that chaos only could re-
suit, Obregon, the farmer, stu
dent and inventor, laid down his
tools and tossed his lot with the
constitutionalist cause-Carranza
and Villa. Obregon left more
than his farm. He closed his lit
tie machine shop, where he work
ed out his inventions. He Is said
to have perfected agricultural ma
chinery improvements for which
United States concerns have paid
him large sums.
He went into the Yaqui coun-
try to lead the rudiments of guer-
rilla warfare. He was welcomed
by the tribes and soon found him
self at the head of 400 good
fighting men-Col. Obregon. He
presented his force to Carranza
and Villa.
Then, dissatisfied with his
motley band, he set out to organ
ize real army, and did 1t. Obre-
gon got together, not the $4,000
men with which Villa is usually
contented, but $4,000 men. He
organized them into companies,
battalions, regiments and bril-
gades and balanced thei- equip
ment. His command was the
best in'Mexico, and as head OF the
west his reputation grew.
1t was Oregon, not Villa, who
was the first to enter Mexico City.
much to the displeasure of the
latter. However, Obregon was a
bosom friend of his fellow leader
and stood between him and Car
rama, the first chief, with whom
Villa was constantly at variance.
But the break could not be
avoided, and Villa set out against
Carranza in the moment of their

1t remained for the two Han
ion brothers to bring to Tacoma
something entirely new in the
line of vaudeville. They present
ed their Haunted House panto-
mime at the Pantages yes.erday,
for the first time on the coast,
and scored a triumph with 1t.
There are some striking scenic eff
fects. and the weird, unison dance

corker.

success. Oregon had to choose
between friendship for Villa and
his hopes for Mexico. He dropped
Villa and fought for Mexico.
Now they are allied against
each other-two strong person
alities.
Obregon knows the United
States we'll. speaks perfect Eng
lish and does not hold the hatred
against us that is common In
Mexico. He wants to copy our
public school system.

Invention Will Put End
To Listening In On Phone

SEATTLE, July 20.-The death
knell Of listening in" has been
sounded
A young Seattle inventor
has taken the Joy out of
party telephone lines for he
has invented device which
effectively stops busybodies
from learning the secrets of
"neighbors" on their phone
lines.
Arthur F. Erickson Is the man
who has foiled the telephone tat

autolock, which is an automatic
telephone lockout, not only makes
eavesdropping thing Of the past,
but it also eliminates entirely the
nerve-racking noise caused by
the vibrating of some intruding
party's hook.
With the invention In use all
other parties on the line are lock-
ed out from attracting central's
attention while the line is en-
gagged.

institution is the Yorktown Heights
Training School for Boys. established
in 1904. but still incomplete and 1t
costs the State $1,000 a Week in in
terest on the investment and for
maintenance.
Franklin Fl. Briggs is superinteod-
ent of this boyless school for boys,
according to report made by the
Governors auditors. He receives
$4,000 year and maintenance for
himself and family. His payroll in
cludes a clerk and bookkeeper at ST.

Iected by q commission composed of

COO are now pending in the courts and
the condemnation commissioners have
asked for increased pay for their SER
vices.
Scarcely any Of the Improvements
contemplated. says the report. are
completed. The institution has seven
partly constructed cottages. For the
sewer and water supply system the
state has paid nearly 100000. and
for the spur from the railroad. &c.,
600: for highway purposes. $500 and
for making roads and gradings. $4,000.
Supt. Briggs says that from Oct. s. 1872
UP to November. 1914. mo plans for build
ings and improvements were permitted to
pass from the state architects office, the
excuse being that the state commissioner
of health would not approve plans for
sewage disposal and water supply, al
though he had once done so.'
As the matter now stands, says the re-
port, the state is paying s10ooa week for
an institution established Ii years ago
which will not for year perhaps care
for one of the boys in whose interest It
was established.
