VILLA LEADING BAND FLEElNG
 FROM JIMIN{Z
Well Organized and Equip ped Carranza Troops Clos
 ing in on Bandits.

Chihuahua City, Mexico, July r. Large Carranza forces. better or gan2ed and more completely equipped than any other unit of the de facto governments troops, are closing in on the bandits of Southern Chihuahua and Northern Durango, intent on wip- ing them out.
 Jimincz, which the Villa forces cap tured after defeating an inferior force of Carranzistas as and killing Gen. lnacio Ramos, has been rcoccupied by the government troops. The bandits are fleeing through the valley of the River Florida.
 Refugees who left Jiminez before the Villa force captured the city state that Pancho Villa commanded the bandits. Nothing definite regarding his presence there has been received here.
 General Trevino today characterized as absurd a report that a revolt against the de facto government was in progress, and that General Obre- gon, minister of war, would take the field against the bandits.

$10,O00 LOSS IN
 LITTLE ROCK FIRE

Little Rock, July 7.-Damage of $10,0O0 was caused this morning about 2 o'clock by fire thought to have originated in greasy waste in the kitchen of the Metropolitan cafe, 1O6 Main street. Principal losers were: James Keats. teller of the German National bank, and John B. Mlliken, 1907 Scott street, owners of the building, the rear and roof of which were destroyed, and Peter Baker, proprietor of the restaurant, fixtures of which were damaged prin- cipally by smoke and water.
 Other losers were the Little Rock confectionery, 104 Main street, and the Cans Clothing company, 10S Main street. According to Felix Cans, sec- retary, the loss was entirely due to smoke and water, and is entirely covered by insurance.
 Steve and Gus Baker, Greek em- ployes of the Metropolitan, who have been occupying rooms on the third floor of the building, were forced by the fire to seek safety on adjoining roofs, from which they were rescued by firemen. Occupants of adjacent lodging houses were forced to the street on account of the thick smoke from the blaze.

BILL ID BE PRESSED
 THIS SESSION
Republican Threats at f'ili- buster Will Not Deter
 Democrats.

Washington, July 7.-An effort by Republican senators to secure an agreement by which action on the ad- ministration shipping bill would be postponed until the next session of congress failed today when admins tration senators announced that the measure would be pressed regardless of the threatened filibuster.
 It was stated that Democratic op- position to the bill had been over come by changes which will not ma terially alter the principal features of the bill.
 Senators Simmons, Fletcher and Reed, members of the commerce com mittee, which has the measure in hand. conferred with President Will son today after a meeting of the committee at which Republican mem- bers were told plainly that it would be impossible to re-draft the bill to meet the approval of the minority.
 Informal conferences held later be- tween champions of the measure and Democrats inclined to oppose it, re- suited in assurances that common ground for agreement could be reached, and it was to inform the president of this development that the special committee went to the white house. The president told his visitors he was much pleased at the prospects.

ORPET DEFENSE SCORES POINT
 IN RE. POISON
Expert Who Testified for State Now Says Poison in
 Powder Form.

Waukegan, H., July 7.-The de- fense, after introducing documentary evidence, rested today in the case or William H. Orpet, the college student charged with the murder of Marian Lambert.
 Orpet left the courtroom happy in the belief that the unqualified statements of chemists on the witness stand had demolished the case of the prosecution. His counsel also were iubilant.
 The case for the defense was prac- tically closed. It was hoped to senc the jurors to their deliberations by Wednesday night.
 pr. w. J. McNally, as a defense witness, reversed the testimony which he gave three weeks ago for the state. The prosecution had re- lied partly upon his testimony to con vince the jury that Marian died of cyanide of potassium in solution. Dr. McNally, having conducted further experiments, swore positive ly that the powdered poison caused her death.

HOSPITALS HELP
 BATTLE AGAINST
 INFANTILE PALSY
New York Health Authori- ties Unable to Ascertain
 Cause of Grave Epidemic.

New York, July 7.-Health authori- ties of New York decided late tonight to abandon for the present at least a plan to appeal to the Red Cross for nurses to aid in stamping out the scourge of infantile paralysis in this city, which, since June 1, has caused 196 deaths among children.
 Health Commissioner Emerson said he was now of the opinion that it would not be necessary to ask for out side aid, as the hospitals of this city have agreed to extend their help more freely.
 Fewer new cases were reported to- day than on Thursday and Wednes- day, S7 being the number.
 A serious phase of the situation was reported today by the association for improving the condition of the poor, which has found that in the congested district frightened mothers have their children in their tenement houses, in many instances with windows closed. Such action, it was pointed out, is likely to have serious effect, not only on the children, but on adults as well.
 Children reading rooms in the pub lie library have been ordered closed as a precautionary measure, and the order barring children from moving picture shows will not be modified un- til conditions improve. Fairgrounds were ordered closed earlier in the day. The proposal for general quarantine of the city was abandoned as imprac- ticable.
 Dr. Emerson frankly admitted his dena rtment had heen unable to de- termine the cause of the epidemic.

HARD CONDITIONS
 AT THE FRONT
Need of Everything for Care of the
 Wounded

The following extracts from a letter received from David Willard of the Paris Distributing Bureau of the Sur gical Dressings Committee should give Americans a glimpse of the tragic con ditions in Europe:
 Here we have a country. that apart from skillful surgeons with their own sanitariums never had universal, well organized hospital service. No bands of trained nurSes-no profession at all of a trained nurse. as with us-and hence no widespread knowledge of how to use surgical dressings. Slap on a rag and tie with a string! Suddenly the whole country becomes a hospital and now even the rags are gone and there is no string.
 "I am beginning to learn about hos pitals here-and what real need is. You should have seen the beds I saw Fri day-sacks of straw on bits of board. and one blanket as the whole covering After a year of hard usage, the sheets everywhere have given out. Tell the committees, wherever possible, to mend old sheets and not cut them up. Those too ragged must be made into pillow
  slips and pillows.
 "l can use all the dressings you can send-I can use more than you can send. We need greater number of dressings than all collective agencies can supply. It is hideous to feel that we can never catch up"
 In order to raise funds to purchase the materials so much needed over the water the local branch of the Surgical Dressings committee will give a bridge party at the Woman's club on Monday. February 2S, at two o'clock. The fee for each person will be fifty cents. which will include light refreshments. It has been suggested that many who do not care for cards may desire to show their interest in the cause by bringing their work and spending the afternoon at the club. Tea will be served at 4:30 and it is hoped that any who are unable to be present during the early part of the afternoon, may irop in for few minutes at that time.

GREENLAND PARADE
 WAS B|C SUCCESS
Large Number of Autos Turn Out to Help Advertise Big Benefit Per
 formance of Next Week

The parade of the kiddies in the cast of the Night in Dreamland" produc- tion which was held yesterday af- ternOon was one of the most sue cessful things of it's kind ever planned and executed in this city The children all dressed in white and decorated with ,insel and flags, formed such an attrac- tive picture that many of the adult members of the cast could not refrain from being participants in the parade.
 Bright colored parasols, high school penants, and yells that could be heard everywhere, made the affair noisy and spectacular one. One couldn't get away from it. It was all over town.
 Much credit is due to S S. Lane, chairman of the parade committee for the successful way in which the mat ter was handled
 If the bigness of the musical comedy is to be judged by the amount of en- thusiasm displayed in the parade, it will be the biggest thing ever staged in this city in the annals of home talent the atricals. Thursday and Friday nights are the dates of the two performances, and the play will be produced at the Columbia theater. From the reports of the hundred or more people who are rehearsing the play at IA West Wash ington street, the affair will be head liner in the way of social and finan- cial success
 The comedy situations in the piece are many and original. There is the race of the 'jitneys" in pantomime, | which is cOmical to the extreme, and l the movie number, which uses forty five persons and gives the audience the impression that they are watching a | moving picture production. The rah- | rah girls, twenty of 'em, present d 1 number that the most discriminating | will approve of This is a high school | act that is filled with color and life The tickets are going great, the de- | mand for the pasteboards increasing daily, and there is some question as to whether the capacity of the house will permit all of the would be patrons to see the production.
 1 Owing to the fact that the show will run for three full hours, with only one minute intermission, it will be nec- essary to ring up the curtain promptly at eight o'clock.
