IN MEXICO JUST TEN DAYS
Failed to Wipe Out Main Body Of the
Band-Four Prisoners Taken and
Two Left Behind Desperately
Wounded.

Marathon, Texas-The flying col
umns of the Eighth and Fourteenth
cavalry, detailed by Maj.-Gen. Fred
erick Funston to give chase to the
bandit raiders of Glenn Springs and
BoQuillas, have returned to. American
soil near BoquilIas.
Col. Sibley, commander of the ex-
pedition, forded the Rio Grande with
the two troops Of the Fourteenth de-
tailed o-the pursuit from Fort Clarke.
Maj. Langhorne, at the head of Troops
A and B of the Eighth, followed short
ly after.
The expedition was IN Mexico just
10 days. 1t failed to capture or wipe
out the main body Of the Big Bend
marauders, but it made prisoners of
four of the bandits and left behind
two others desperately wounded. In
addition, it rescued Jesse Deemer, Bo,
quillas storekeeper, and Monroe
Payne, a negro, kidnapped by the Mexl'
cans as they took their last desperate
fling before fleeing south.
The return of the expedition was
imperative for strategical reasons. II
had penetrated so far into the interior,
without the semblance of line OF
communication, that it was not pre-
Il
no hope Of re-enforcements, it was i'm
possible for it to continue its foray.
Then, too, the main object of its cam
paign had been accomplished, in the
release of Deemer and Payne.
News of the return of Col. Sibley
and Maj. Langhorne reached Mara
thon almost a day after it had been
safely accomplished

EXTENSION OF TIME GRANTED
TO FILE PROTEST AGAINST
ROUGH MATERIAL RATE.
CLAIM RATES CONFLICTING
Commission Agreed to Aid in Effort
70 Have Interstate Commerce Com
mission Change Date When Rate
Will Become Effective.

Little Rock
The Arkansas Railroad Commission
granted shippers go days in which to
Ale protests against the proposed in
crease in rates on rough materials,
asked in petitions filed by four rail
roads. More than 100 shippers, chief
ly lumber manufacturers, were repre-
scented at the hearing.
The petitions ask for increases OF
from one-half cent to one and one-half
cents per 100 pounds on intrastate
shipments of rough materials. The pc
titions were filed by the Iron Noun
tain. Rock Island, Missouri and North
Arkansas and Cotton Belt railroads,
but a decision would affect all carriers
in Arkansas. The railroads assert
that many of the present rates are
more than one cent less per 100 pounds
than the new interstate rates estab-
lished by the Interstate Commerce
Commission, effective June l.
The manufacturers say that should
the increase be granted, they will be
unable to compete with Memphis
manufacturers, who have much low
er outbound rate on products shipped.
The rough material rate affects the
manufacturers because they are fore
ed to pay freight on their materials
from the sawmills to the plants, as
the materials are sold T. o. b. the
mills.
The commission agreed to aid the
shippers in an effort to have the In
terstate Commerce Commission change
the date when the interstate increases
will be effective until the Arkansas
case is decided.

Banks Make CHANCES.

Forty state banks have been forced
to file amendments to their articles OF
incorporation with the State Bank De
partment since January l, because OF
strict rules adopted by the department,
State Bank Commissioner John M. Da-
Wis said. The new rule requires that
all banks follow precisely their articles
of incorporation. If their incorpora-
tion papers call for Board OF Direc-
tors of 10 members they must have
that many. The minimum number OF
directors is three. Mr.. Davis ruled
that if the banks do not have the direc-
tors named, they must amend their In
corporation papers Many other banks
have amended their charters because
of another ruling which prohibits
banks, having a capital stock OF less
than $4,000, using the title trust
company"

Arthur M. Geary
Makes Correction

Arthur NJ. Geary, former student of
the university, who gave a recent ad-
dress at the university on methods of
fruit marketing, states he was misquot-
ed in press reports OF his address,
The following letter was received by
The Capital journal from Mr.. Geary:
"Under University of Oregon date
line of March 13, an incorrect report of
my talk upon fruit marketing given be-
fore the students in the industrial and
commercial survey, was sent to the pa
pers of the state. The establishment of
a national clearing house for all fruit
vOcacies mistakenly attributed to me.
"The students, in fact, were inform
ed by me that all the fruits from the
Pacific coast, except the apples, that
are shipped to New York and to some
of the other eastern cities, are sold at
auction and that the auction houses
have started a campaign of education
among the growers to persuade them
that the auction system in these largest
cities should also be adopted by the
apple shippers.
81 explained that there was no eff
fort being made to have the apple
growers break away from their organ
izations and ship independently to the
auctions; but that the endeavor of the
auction houses is to persuade the north
western fruit shipping organizations
themselves, to follow in the well beaten
path Of the California Fruit Growers
Exchange and the California Fruit Dis
