U. S. Gets Confirmation.
San Antonio, Oct. 24.-Confirmation
of the report that Villista forces have
reached the outskirts of Chihuahua
City and of fighting in the suburbs
between them and General Trevino,s s
command was contained in dispatch
received today by General Funston
from General Bell commanding at Ell
Paso.
General BelIS report is uiiuei S1ocN
to be based on information transmit
ted by General Pershing. commander
of American troops in Mexico. That
the people of Chihuahua have become
panic stricken as a result of Villa
advance on the city following his re-
cent victory at Palomas over Carranza
troops commanded by AZuna, was stat
ed in the dispatch. Information mas
reached army circles from seVerel
sources that General Trevino is snort
of ammunition. 1t was pointed out
that this might account for his failure

STRIKE VOTE IN OKLA.
Submit Question at Special Convention
Affects 5000 Men.

McAlester, Okla, Oct 24.-The
question of whether or not the coal
miners of Oklahoma shall go on
strike will be submitted to a special
convention of the miners here tomor-
row. The special convention was called
as the result of failure to reach an
agreement with the Oklahoma Coal
Operators association at a conference
here two weeks ago.
Negotiations were broken off at the
conference when the conference failed
to reach an agreement upon disputed
points in sections 4 and of the pro-
posed biennial working contract These
sections deal with the employment and
discharge of men and the collection of
fines for violations of contracts as
promulgated at the Kansas City con-
ference recently of operators and
miners from Oklahoma, Arkansas,
Kansas and Missouri.
1t is estimated that between 5000
and 10000 miners are affected, ap-
proximately SO per cent of the coal
companies of Oklahoma being affili-
ated with the Oklahoma Coal Opera
tors association. If local delegates de-
eide to strike, Endorsement by the
United Mine Workers of America is
necessary before the miners can for
mally call strike.

WE. HODGES IN TOPEKA
Vice President of Santa Fe Sees
Material Cost Raise.

Cost of railroad material and sup
plies has advanced so to nearly 500
per cent, according to commodity, II
was asserted by w E. Hodges. vice
president of the Santa Fe railroad,
headquarters Chicago, in Topeka
today.
Mr. Hodges came into Topeka this
morning and spent the day visiting his
department here and with various Of
ficials of the road.
Sitting in his private car, on the
Santa Fe tracks, near the station he
outlined the ''cost of material situa-
ton, which has been a bugaboo for
American railroads since the begin
ming of the war. However. Mr.
Hodges does not believe the high cost
of material would prevent construc-
ton. IF the Santa Fe needed to
build any lines it would probably build
them" he said.
Mr.. Hodges visited the storehouse
department this afternoon and was
scheduled to leave at 5 o'clock this
afternoon. 1t was said he will prob
ably return to Toueka for the stock
holders meeting Thursday when a
special trainload of other Chicago Of
ficials will be here.
