Gen. Pershing reports the find
ing, west of Santa Maria, this
morning, of 16 troopers of the
Tenth cavalry who escaped. All
were included in the group de-
tailed to watch horses while the
battle was fought.
Their stories are substantially
the same as those of the other
stragglers. They brought back
25 horses. They were found by
another troop of the Tenth cav

vivors is practically abandoned.

WASHINGTON, d. c., June "a.
Following a conference with
the president. War Secretary
Baker said today that he would
be obliged to await further word
from Gen. Pershing before deter
mining his course of action.
Until we get this report, we
absolutely will not consider a
change of policy" he said, but
the public will not have to wait
five minutes for the report when
1t is received.
1.-The only report thus far, ex-
cepting Mexican statements, is
that of few stragglers. APP
parently when the firing began,
the horses stampeded, and these
stragglers were not near where
the shooting began"
Up to Morey.
Captain Morey may determine
whether war will be declared. He
was second in command at Carri-
zal, and it is rumored he escaped,
though wounded. Gen. Pershing
is awaiting his report of Boyd's
parley with Gomez before the bat
tie started.
Although unofficial, 1t is indi-

that under no conditions will the
United States seek territorial
profit by an invasion of Mexico.
The resolution will probably
state that the only object of in

in Mexico, and the elimination of

present banditry.
1t will also state that upon the
restoration of peace the United

FOR
GREATER
TACOMA!
BY the Editor

uEcdtcE IdCoIuus
A Tacoma that should in
clude within its ample girth
Puyallup and Sumner, the
hills east and north IF the
tideflats, Brown and Dash
Points, Dumas bay and Pic
mic Cove and all the rich ter
ritory between those points
and the present city!
Such was the picture
sketched at a meeting of
beach, hill and valley folk
held last night at Fife school,
house, OH the interurban
line, and such was the goal
toward which a permanent
organization there formed
determined to devote its en-
ergies.
The gathering met at the call
of Franz, c. Ross, who came tC
Tacoma 81 years ago and who
knows every gulch and knoll in
all this section.
Ross not only KNOWS the
ground, but he has devoted years
of thought and years of dreaming
to the potentialities. He has been
peering into the future.
His work as seer he summed
up last night In paper that re-
CURED Is minutes for The read
ing and in an immense wall mar
of the country on which he had
traced out network of blue
lines.
Presents Comprehensive Plan.
These lines represented a CON-
prehensive plan of high way de,
velopment for the north y stern
side of the country.
1T WAS AN AMBITIOUS
PLAN, THAT WILL REQUIRE
YEARS FOR THE CONSUMMA-
TON.
Ross did not present 1t with
the thought that the roads would
be built this week, or this year,
or next.
He reasoned that now much OF
the country is a wilderness.
But it is a wilderness that is
just on the eve of tremendous
development, due to the dikins
and waterway projects that are
coming to completion.
Now the Crucial Time.
Tideflats that have been under
water soon are to be ready for
the use of tier, manufacturer and
shipper.
Homes are going to be built to
care for the men in these new in
dustries.
This means there will be new
plating of lands.
While the country is A partial
wilderness there is still chance
to lay out the great trunk high
ways just exactly where they
ought to run and to lay them out
broad and at the best of all pos
sible grades. A little ielay and
land promoters greed bring a
repetition of botched city plats.
The immediate end of Mr.. Ross
is to obtain the acceptance by the
county commissioners of his COM
prehensive scheme or some modi-
fication of 1t, so that all future
plats must conform. Thus the
Greater Tacoma of the future
shall be insured of its heritage.
Actual ! construction of the
roads, of course, would follow
only as the demands of the COM
munity warranted.
Plans Wide Arteries.
He declared that 100 and 140-
foot boulevards ought TO be in
sisted on for the trunk arteries,
and that on the hillsides the
streets might we'll be cut to 40
feet and made to fit the contours
of the land.
Among the roads for which his
plan called were beach highway
from Stones Landing to -Hyaia
park, thence contoured around
the hill to intersect with 18th
street; an extension of Puyallup's
Meridian street north across the
river to the bluff, and eontoured
along the hill to 18th street;
and extension nf Willipa
avenue on the tideflats, so that
II should run from tidewater 14O

HENRY MATTHAEI ENLISTS
ORPET WILL
TAKE STAND

WAUKEGAN, H., June "a. -
1t is likely Will Orpet will take
the stand in his own defense next
Tuesday. Judge Donnelly this
afternoon overuled a motion to
dismiss the Orpet jury, and or
dered the defense to proceed with
1t case when court resumes Monl
day.
AT first | giggled because

joke and felt no responsibility.
But lately it has been because

Thes words of Marian Lambert,
in letter to her Sunday School
teacher the day before her death,
were presented to the jury at the
windup of the prosecutions case
against Will II. Orpet, the young
university student charged with
numbering the girl.
Thanks Him Warmly.
The letter said:

, ian. He declared Orpet had told
him after his arrest that Marian
had threatened to commit suicide
because of the alleged condition in
which she found herself, and that
this was the reason for his visit
to Lake Forest.
Judge Donnelly was expected
today to deny the motion of the
defense to- take the case from the
jury and dismiss Orpet. Orpet is
expected to take the stand in his
own defense.
The defense claimed the state
has failed to show Orpet purchas-
ed any poison, or that the stains
on Marian's coat were made by
liquid poison.
The best thing that has hap
pened for William Orpet since the
beginning of his trial was when
Judge Donnelly barred from the
eyes of the jurors the letters he
wrote to Marian Lambert, which
were found in her desk after her
death.
Some of these letters, showing
his pursuit of the girl, have
been printed.
Blow to Father.
But there were other letters,
written after weak little Marian
had yielded to him, that were full
of crude and brutal sensuality
that dishonored even more the
girl who received and treasured
them than it did the boy who
wrote them.
While these terrible letters
were being read poor Mr.. Lam
bert bent over the table and COW
cred his face with his hands. His
shoulders shook with suppressed
sobs as he mourned his little
daughter, who died twice to him,
for she died no less to him on
that dreadful day on which he
found false his fond ideal of her
as little innocent, ignorant child
than she did on the day IN which
her body persisted in Helms
woods.
Without doubt the killing of
his belief in her was the crueler
blow of the two.

WASTE INVOLVED IN ILLNESS
tie Attention Has Been Given
by the Country.

A spectacular event often attracts
public attention, while routine matters
Of larger magnitude go unnoticed. For
instance, the whole country was re-
Gently acutely conscious of a question
of wages amounting to $50,O00,OO0. 1t
was an important question and the
sum involved was vast.
But take another question involving
wages-the question of the illness Of
workers. Public health bulletin No.
76 of the public health service of the
United States estimates ON the basis
of inquiries here and abroad that the
average industrial worker loses about
nine days year on account of illness.
This amounts to loss to the work
ers of the country, it is estimated, of
$S00,000,OO0 year. If by better san
itation and safety devices the time
could be reduced One-half, there would
be a saving of $4O0000,000. Yet it is
exceedingly difficult for health author
tiles to arouse interest in the question,
simply because it concerns everyday
matters that lacks the excitement of
a threatened tie-up of transportation.

by strikers along routes where sur
face cars were being operated on
Wednesday kept the police in constant
battles with strikers and their sympa-
thizers. Several cars were completely
wrecked. A score or more of rioters
were arrested. Others were sent to hos

where broken heads caused by police
sticks were mended. Police Captain
Dempsey was seriously injured and
was sent to a hospital.
Flying squadrons of policemen in
automobiles, detailed to circulate in
plain clothes through Fifty-ninth, For
ty-second and One Hundred and Twen-
ty-fifth streets, where cars were run,
routed many attacking mobs of strik-
ers.
The ferocity of the strikers eclipSed
any previous attempts on their part to
check traffic. Scores of passengers
were more or less injured by flying
glass.
Bricks and bottles were hurled
through car windows. Wherever pos
sible motormen put on all speed when
they espied waiting crowds of strikers
and in this way escaped hand-to-hand
