CONDEMNATION
BY ARCHBISHOP
WALSH, DUBLIN

Dublin, July 25.-Archbishop Walsh
has issued a letter to the public con-
demning the conduct of the home rule
cause in Parliament and holding that it
can only lead to disaster. The letter
of the archbishop says :hat the coun-
try now faces a truly awful pros
pect," and that no nationalist should
be fooled by party leaders that home
rule is on the statute book.
It has been several years since Arch
bishop Walsh has taken any part in
politics and this announcement at
such a juncture greatly adds to the
Irish party's embarrassment.

Pittsburgh.-Two men are known to have been Killed, four probably fatal 1y wounded and score of others se- riously hurt when a mob. said by the authorities to have been composed principally of foreigners. attacked the Edgar Thomson Works of the Carne- gie Steel Company in Braddock A pitched battle followed, lasting an hour, during which 400 shots were fired, but the rioters finally were forced to retreat in the face of dead 1y fire from the riot guns of deputy sheriffs and plant guards.
 The situation Is now quiet, but 1000 citizens of the borough have been sworn in as deputies and are patrol ling the streets. District Attorney R. H. Jackson announced that he would take steps at once for the deportation of all foreigners connected with the trouble.
 The riot was the climax of a day of disorder in the boroughs of Braddeck and Rankin, during which mobs storm ed the plants of four big steel com panies, drove the workmen out and then partly wrecked the interiors of the plants
 Many of the strikers injured at the Edgar Thompson works were spirited away by the rioters and for hours af ter quiet had been restored injured continued to be brought to hospitals for treatment. Snipers hidden in doorways and windows tried to pick off deputies who were fighting to hold back the mob, and two deputies were said to have been hit. Women also joined in the mad fight to gain en- try to the works, and two of these were wounded.

AMERICAN FORCES
 KILL 42 BANDITS
THE BANDIT FORGE WAS MUCH LARGER THAN AMERICAN
 COLUMNS.

Field Headquarters. Near Namiqui- pa, by wireless to Columbus, N M full squadron of 230 men of the Eleventh Cavalry surprised and routed a much larger force of Villa bandits at Ojo-Azules, r miles south of Cusl- huirachic. Forty-two Mexicans were killed and a number wounded. There were no American casualties.
 The American command, under Maj. Robert l.. Howze, had been pur- suing, the bandits under Gems Cruz Dominguez and Julio Aeosta, for sev- eral days when they encountered them encamped in the huddled adobe huts of Ojo-Azules.
 The Mexicans were completely sur prised and sprang from their pallets half-clothed. After firing few mild shots they began flight. each man shifting for his own safety. Some of them were able to seize their horses, already iaded from hard days ride previously, but others fled into the hills afoot.
 Mai. HowZe reported he still was pursuing the scattered remnant of the band. which is the largest remain ing under the Villa standard. It IS believed the band is the same as that defeated at Temochic April 22 by Col Dodds command.
 Further reports from Maj Howze stated that Gen. Antonio Angeles was killed He was a relative of Felipe Angeles, the former confidant of Villa who was once mentioned for the pres idency of Mexico. and who is now living near Fl Paso.
 The Howze column struck the band of Mexicans near Ojo-Azules after an all-night cross-eountry ride, at 5:45 o'clock in the morning. More than 50 of the fugitives were rounded up by Americans after the engagement
 The column had marched 36 miles through the mountains during the night and attacked without resting either men or horses. It consisted of six picked troops of the Eleventh Cav airy and one machine gun detachment

CONFEREES ON ARMY
 MEASURE DISAGREE
VOLUNTEER RESERVE AND NI- TRATE PLANT WERE THE
 OBSTACLES.
MINOR POINTS ARE DISPUTED
President Is Said to Favor Both the Volunteer and Nitrate Plant ProVi- sions-Chairman Hay Says Neth-
 CT One Will Be Accepted.

Washington. - Conferees on the army reorganization bill disagreed on several important features of the measure and adjourned until matters in disagreement can be taken up in the House. The rocks on which the committee broke were the federal volunteer army reserve and the $f5.. 000,000 government nitrate plant amendments adopted by the Senate.
 Notwithstanding the disagreement, Senator Chamberlain, chairman Of the Senate eonferees, said he had hopes that good bill eventually would be worked out
 The House eonferees would not yield to the Senate provisions for the volunteer army or the government ni- trate plant" said the senator There are number of minor points in the bill also which are in disagreement. But the main points seemed thus far to be the only irreeoncilable features.
 Representative Hay has promised to return the nitrate plant amendment, to the House for further instructions He fiatly stated, however, that the House would not accept the volunteer army and the Senate conferees would not re-ede. Tn view of the apparent impasse. the conference adjourned, not to meet again until an effort is made to get further instructions from the House. We do not expect to take up the disputed points in the Senate at this time because our conferees are unanimous and the Senate has already passed on the subjects Tn eontro- versy.'

These animals were bought from Chas. Me keken, who has supplied five carloads of these pigs to the serum plant witts in the last two months. Mir. McKewen says he prefers to ship his pigs to the Little Rock market because he can get better price here. because there is no long freight haul and no shrink age en route. Dr. k. ". Cow, state veterinarian, says there are 500 pigs in the yards of the state serum plant, and that all will be used for the production of serum and virus during May.
