WATER FOR THB POOR
COMES AT HIGH RATB
minimum" Service Charge
Brings Cost to AZ Gents
Per / 900 Gallons.
FIGURES FROM BILLS PAID

When does a reduction in water
rates become an increasel
Whenever you happen to be pa
tron of the Omaha municipal water
plant, and come under the minimum
charge.
If you are packing house, or
railroad. or anything of that Sort you
can get your water at the rate of s
cents per 100 cubic feet, or 8 cents
per 1000 gallons. If you are poor
devil, living In small house, with a
hydrant in the yard from which YOU
carry water for your household uses,
you pay q minimum monthly charge
of IS cents, "less 46 per cent, due to
municipal ownership"
Minimum" Charge Goes Up.
1t Is interesting to note that prior
TO March 81 of the current year the
minimum charge was so cents. On
that date this charge was increased S
cents per month, and the reduction"
was raised from 40 to rs per cent, so
that the actual minimum charge was
reduced by cent per month.
At these ticks, the poor man is pay
ing the highest rate known for his
water, figuring not less than IS and
as high as 48 cents per 1000 gallons.
The manager of the water plant
says the IS cent rate is the lowest
possible, alleging it costs that much
to inspect the meter and pump the
water.
Some Of the poorer people of the
city, who are forced to live in small
tenements, with no indoor facilities,
wonder Just where they come in on
the benefit of municipal ownership,
80 loudly boosted.
Figures from Actual Bills.
The figures herein given are from
actual bills rendered to the same house
for four months. The first bill was
from January 8 to March J, the
amount Of water used was 200 cubic
fest, and the charge was 72 cents, or
At the rate Of 48 cents per 1000 gal
Ions. The second bill was from March
to May 6, also for 200 cubic feet Of
water. and at the same charge, al
though the water office says the
charge should have been but II cents.
Thus the householder has the satisfac-
ton Of knowing he was not only per-
mitted to pay six times as much for
water he used as does the big con-
sumner, but that he was gouged out of
an additional penny by reason Of the
Slip Of . clerks pen.
| The explanation Of the minimum
charges, the date of the increase, etc,
was furnished at the water office.

A rurnor which has been current for several days that Judge Joseph II. Kibbey would be a candidate for the reppblican nomination for United States senator, gathered additional force yesterday. When Judge Kibbey was seen he confirmed the report but said that he was not yet ready to make formal announcement of his candidacy but would do so in due time He desired it made clear, how ever that in deciding to become candidate for the nomination, he had not yielded to the importunities of political friends but had resolved upon this course after a mature considera- tion of the matter
 Ever since the admission of Ari- zona to statehood the name of Judge Kioev mas been more frequently as- sociated with q nomination for a senatorship than that of any other republican. That was because per haps of a consciousness by republi- cans of his ability and perhaps in part because he had been SO long the recognized leader of his party in Ari- Zona before statehood, his previous long service on the supreme bench and his occupancy of the governors chair.
 Two years ago an effort was made by republicans of all shades to per suade him to accept the nomination for the senatorship but he declined Early this year republicans not only

FEAR TWO BATTLES IN PROGRESS
 IN NORTHERN CHIHUAHUA

American side are cited as confirma- tory of this theory.
 A train of eighteen cars, carrying 150 -cOmbatants mostly women and children and some old men, ar rived today under the infantry guard of 22 soldiers from Chihuahua City.
 Two trains left Juarez. One of five cars filled with provisions and three passenger coaches. was bound for Casas Grandes. The other consisted of 37 cars and carried volunteers and their baggage to Chihuahua City, to go into military training A train bearing five American refugees from Parral is expected to arrive in JuareZ tonight.
 Continued rumors of the presence of Villa in this region have reached the United States authorities, but have not been generally credited. | Bodies of the American soldiers, killed in the enga cement at Carrizal still lie unburied on the battlefield according to French and Mexican refugees who arrived in Juarez today aboard the Chihuahua City train They asserted that the Mexican dead were buried immediately after the fight but that the American bodies had been left lying exposed to the clements.
 The arrivals also said that the Car rancista losses were much heavier than the Mexican official reports which placed the casualties at abou

REPORT
 TO PERSH|NG
 FROM CARR|zAL
GRepublican A. p. Leased Wirel


 FIELD HEADQUARTERS, June "A CBy wireless to Columbus. N. M.).- Trapped and fighting against heavy odds. the troops of the Tenth Cavalry engaged at Carrizal on Wednesday charged twice directly into the jaws of the ambush which the MeXicans had laid for them. With bullets in his arm and shoulder, Captain Charles T. Boyd, the commander, remained in the sad dle, leading his negro troopers until they had captured the concealed MeXi- can machine gun trench, when he fell mortally wounded with a bullet in the eye. This was the gist of the first detailed account of the engagement from American sources which was brought to General Pershing today by Corporal Green of Troop C, who was at Captain Boyds side until he fell.
 The Americans were flanked on both sides by the Carrancistas, during a con ference between General Felix Gomez the Mexican leader, and Captain Boyd. In front was a concealed Mexican ma chine gun trench from which stream of lead was poured into the American ranks.
 Corporal Green said that Captain Boyd. although wounded in the arm and shoulder by the first fire. immedi- ately gave the order to charge and the detachment rode at top speed. in hail of bullets, directly at the trench, charg- ing it just as the American leader fell. The MeXicans retreated to cover in a paarhv adohe shack Lieutenant Hen " Adair assumed command and or dered a second charge, which drove 1cnntin1ad on PaoA Eiphtl

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, June 24.-The force of the Tenth United States cav airy, under Captain Charles T. Boyd, | succeeded in breaking through the lines of the Mexican force under Gen. eral Felix Gomez at Carrizal accord ing to d message tonight from Gener- al Pershing to General Funston, but whether any of them were able to make their escape still is unknown.
 Captain Boyd's men of Troop took the ditch in which the front line of Mexican troops were entrenched and charged through into the town of Car rizal Troop L under Captain Lewis Mercy, charged with Troop c but were outflanked and forced to take refuge in an adobe house. They at least had a chance to defend them- selves from cover but their ultimate fate is unknown as is that of rem nants of Captain Boyd's troop. | This news came to General Persh- l ing by courier from Major John M. Jenkins, commanding a squadron of the relief expeditions sent out from ! Colonia Dublan. Major Jenkins also announced that he had found five members of Troop C of the Tenth cavalry and one member of Troop K at the San Luis ranch. They also
 were horse holders as were the other
 stragglers who have reported. They did not see the finish of the fight but their stories according to Major Jenkins courier, confirmed reports
 that the attack had been opened by
 the Mexican troops without preyoca-
 tion-
 l General Pershing said in his repor
 that he did not believe the 3S meI still unaccounted for had not beer captured. This was taken to meal
 that he feared Captain Moriss' mei

Many Appeals For Aid
 Along The Arlzona Border

Mayor Adamson of BiSbee and J. J. Bowen, president of the Warren Dis trict Commercial club urged the gen. eral to send a detachment to that dis trict especially to guard the water sup ply line from Naco to Bisbee.
 Mayor w. M. Adamson and business men of Douglas made a series of calls upon General Davis during the day asking for guards at the water and electric light plants. The general re- piled that he did not consider it a good policy to divide his troops here into attachments at various points nearby.
 One American mining man who ar rived from Cumpas, Sonora, S1 miles below here, stated that while riding on train from NacoZari to Fronteras yesterday he overheard a Mexican colonel tell two other officers that 5000 Mexican volunteers were concentrated at Cananea. The officer was said to 1 have added that men in the district south of NacoZari were being sent to Fronteras and those living further west were being mobilized at Hermosillo, the state capital.

 DOUGLAS, June 24.ANumerous ap- peals for troops to protect settlements and ranches along the Arizona border were received here today by General T. F. Davis, commanding the Arizona military district.
 Delegations of city officials of Doug las and Bisbee and representatives of public utilities called in person, tele- grams were received from Gov. George w. r. Hunt of Arizona, and from resi- dents of towns near the international border and many letters brought like request.
 However, the appeals were of no avail as General Davis stated he could not comply with them in view of the comparatively small number of soldiers at present under his command. He added that, should he, be ordered to cross the line, there hardly would be ] enough of his men left behind to prop erly guard Douglas ] Approximately 4,000 United State: soldiers are stationed here.

Republican A. p. Leased Wire1
 WASHINGTON, June 24. - A
 peremptory demand that General
 Carranza repudiate the attack on
 American troops at Carrizal and
 immediately release all captured
 American soldiers IS understood
 tonight to be the next step m the
 Mexican crisis now contemplated
 by the Washington government.
 Failure to comply with either de-
 71end undoubtedly would result m
 the qravest consequences, foretold
 in Secretary Lansings recent note
 to the defacto government.
 Formulation of communication
 awaited a final report from Gen
 eral Pershing on the Carrizal in-
 cident Pending it's receipt, the
 war department pressed urgently
 today its efforts to reinforce
 strongly the border patrol and pre-
 pare for any eventuality.
 Full information from American sources as to what happened at Car rizal was still lacking and the long delay in finding additional survivors was taken as an ominous sign. No American may have survived.
 Officials were plainly concerned with news dispatches from Chihuahua say ing that General Jacinto TrevinO, the Mexican commander, had threatened to attack American columns reported advancing from the field base toward San Antonio and Ojo Caliente if they dii not immediately retreat. Another battle at this time might precipitate general hostilities.
 Pumors that the CarranZa govern ment was seeking mediation through other I-atin-American nations camC from many quarters. Private advices from Mexico City also continued to in- dicate that General Carranza still hoped to find a way to evade the storm his policy has aroused. No offers of mediation reached the state department from any source. Ad- ministration officials hold that they have nothing to mediate. It is general ly regarded as unlikely that President Wilson would agree to any proposal that meant tying the hands of General Funston in his efforts to protect the border from bandits. A mediation plan i resting on a military status quo dur | ing negotiations would prevent pur- suit of raiders or any necessary oper- ations beyond the border to break up | bandit organizations before they be- came dangerous.
 1 Under these circumstances, it was 1 intimated on high authority that ef : forts toward preservation of peace concerning the initiation of which the minister of Salvador was authorized | today to confer with his diplomatic colleagues, could go no further than { an attempt to persuade General Car ranZa to change his attitude toward the determination of the United States to protect it's people and territory. Ambassador Naon of Argentine. who was leader in the movement to rec ognize the Carranza defacto govern ment during the pan-American confer ences is understood to have advised his government last night that the cir cumstances did not lend themselves tc
