 "The situation is perplexing. I wish that something might be done to lower the prices of foods, but there seems to be no hope"
 The same sentiment is echoed by oth- CT smart women who are proprietors of boarding houses. A few advances have been made about the city, both on the South Highlands and on the Northsde. It seems imminent that board will be advanced on the first of Janu- arY

ISSUES IN DOUBT

The conflict, according to the attorneys who have studied the situation, is that under the consolidated court bill, all the courts of Jefferson county are circuit courts and therefore constitutional offices, while Hugo l.. Black was elected as a county officer, a legislative office to serve a criminal court, a legislative court. With the criminal courts abolished, it is contended that Solicitor Black will lose his office through action of the courts owing to unconstitutionality of the legis- lative provision which orders that he is to be the chief prosecuting officer of Jefferson county after January l.
 The various laws passed by the legis- lature did not effect the status of MT. Tate, as he was elected two years ago fo. four-year term as circuit solicitor of the Tenth judicial district, a consti- tutional office As MT Tate is the circuit solicitor and there will be nothing else tut circuit courts in Jefferson county, local attorneys are somewhat puzzled as to what will be the status of County So- licitor Hugo L. Black after the first of the year.

sway at every sunrise. From the pro vision dealers the proprietors of the boarding houses have been given no expression that implies future relief,
 At the present time, three commodi- ties are cheaper than they have been recently Sugar, that once sold at 91s and 10 pounds for the dollar, is offered at Il pounds for the same amount. Flour is S1 cheaper than month ago, while beef is somewhat more reason able. Even the other commodities, in- cluding onions, rutabagas and cabbages, that were once considered as coarse , foods, are bringing fancy prices.
 ENORMOUS ADVANCES
 q certainly wish that something might be done to lower the costs of foods" said Mrs. J. L. Burnett, who provides for 75 boarders at her resi- dence next to the Church of the Advent on Twentieth street, The prices of provisions have advanced enormously. It has been necessary to raise the month ly cost of board once, though only slightly, and it seems that unless some reductions are made before January 1 that another is imminent.
 When the first increase was made, there were no kicks registered, for every one Knew nOW Iildf Lu6 COSl OA food advance had been.
 Foods that were once considered coarse are bringing fancy figures. Red onions, that retailed at cents pound in 1915, are selling at cents for the same quantity. Cabbage, rutabagas and turnips have advanced fully 15O per cent since last year.
 "It is a serious problem. It is i'm possible to make money and keep the price of board at a reasonable figure, around the $20 mark"
 Canned goods, which are now enjoying a big consumption, have joined hands with the other foods in their upward march, according to Mrs. Helen B. Tay- Tor, who occupies the old Tutwiler home on Park avenue.
 CANNED GOODS HIGH
 "At this time of the year, one must of necessity depend largely upon canned vegetables" Mrs. Taylor said yester- day "Tomatoes in cans, sold for 70 cents a dozen last year This season the same quantity sells at $1.25. This advance has been proportionate In canned goods of other varieties.
 q have purchased eggs from farmers in the country and thereby have got ten them as cheaply as possible. Now have been informed that the next sales will be at 50 cents a dozen. This shows what we are facing, when we hope to hold the cost of living to 8 low fig ure.

STATUS AFTER JANUARY I

AI AT FIN J Sh-f V @hAN
 Solicitor Tate would vouchsafe no con- ment regarding his course of action after the first of the year, when it is reported d legal battle win develop to decide whether he or Solicitor Hugo L. Black IS the ranking prosecuting officer in Jefier- son county.
 That is a matter that I have been too busy in the past month or two even to give a thought" said MT. Tate, and naturally I am not at all prepared to say what will be done.
 The question of who shall be the rank ing solicitor after January l comes up through the action of the legislature in passing the consolidated court bill, which abolished the criminal courts of Jefter- son county, and therefore left County So- licitor Hugo l.. Black no court in which to prosecute. On the other hand, the legislature also passed a law making MT. Black the chief prosecutor of Jefferson county after the first of the year.

HOPE LIES IN WOMEN.
By 'Dilution' of Labor England
 Hopes to Terminate War.

London, June 26.-In connection with Lloyd Georges campaign for the ''dilution" of labor in the muni- tion factories with women workers, the Ministry of Munitions has issued an elaborate illustrated book dealing with the employment and training of unskilled women for munition work. The book contains hundreds of photo- graphs, showing the operations, with descriptive and explanatory notes.
 MT. Lloyd writes in the preface:
 The photographic records and written descriptions of what is actual ly being done by women in intuition factories on processes hitherto per formed solely by skilled men, will, believe, act as an incentive and a guide in many factories where en- ployers and employed have been sceptical as to the possibilities of di- lution. Being convinced that until that policy is boldly adopted through out the country we cannot provide our armies with such an adequate supply of munitions as will enable them to bring this war to the most serious consideration of employers and employed"

were rather vague as to where they had left Captain Mercy, but stated that on the night of the 21st they had carried him two miles, that Mercy became weak, could not go further and told them to leave. They thought he was dying from loss of blood and lack of water Meyer re- cOnnOitered twenty miles east of San ta Maria, but found nothing. Out of grain and forage, horses in bad shape, had to return.''
 It is surmised that Lieutenant Mey- CT sent the letter to the commanding officer at Opo Frederico, and he, in turn forwarded it to General Per- shing. This would explain the fact that the letter apparently was not delivered to General Pershing by Lieutenant Meyer on his return with the stragglers found at San Luis ranch Saturday night.
 The letter was dated June 21, 9:15 a. m. That was the day of the fight and perhaps an hour after it. The wounded captain had found refuge in depression in the ground about 2, ,OOO yards from the battlefield. The three troopers also had escaped to the de- presslOn with another trooper who was wounded. No further mention being made of this last man, the as- sumption here is that he either died of his wounds before the others start ed away or was abandoned in the final journey across the desert.
 The captains story of the fight bears out in the main the versions that had been brought back by strag- gllng troopers who escaped. It shows that the MeXicans fired first, which the MeXlcans officials denied in try ing to place the blame on the dead American officers.

MEX|CANS ACCUSED
 IN MOREY'S REPORT
Wounded Captain, Sends Troopers
 in With Official Account

San Antonio, Texas, June 26.-A long official report from General John J. Pershing reached General Funston here last night. It was in code and It took General Funston's aids an hour to translate it. But they did not wait until they had finished this task be- fore they notified the general For 1t was the most extraordinary official report that General Funston has re- ceived from the front since the Amer ican forces entered Mexico in March
 As the bewildering mass of numer- als, letters, and dots and dashes was gradually deciphered it was found to be Captain Lewis $. Morey's account of the battle at Carrizal, in which he commanded Troop K, Tenth Cavalry. His narrative was in the form of a letter He wrote it while seriously wounded and without water. After he finished writing with pencil, on crumpled paper the three negro troopers with him started to carry him away across the desert in search of aid
 Ordered Men to Abandon him.
 Every canteen was empty, and the burden of the injured man lessened to a great degree the chance that any might escape. Captain Mercy or dered his men to abandon him after they had carried him two miles, &C., cOrding to their own account. The three troopers with the letter were found wandering about the l desert yesterday, trying to reach the American column. Lieutenant Henry 1 A. Meyer of the Tenth Cavalry dis 1 covered them and rushed back to 1 camp with the report in which lay l the last hope of placing the blame 1 for Wednesdays slaughter of Amer | jeans

 "Captain Boyd sent in a note re- questing permission to pass through the town. This was refused Stated we could go to the north, but not east. Captain Boyd said he was going to Ahumada at this time.
 He was talking With Carranza commander. General Gomez sent a written message that Captain Boyd was bringing force in town and have a conference. Captain Boyd feared an ambush He was under the inn pression that the Mexicans would run as soon as we fired.
 We formed for attack, his in tention being to move up to the line of about 120 Mexicans on the edge of the town. We formed c Troop on the left in line of skirmishers, one platoon of K Troop on right of line, and another K Troop platoon on ex- treme right, echelOned little to the rear.

MeXicanS Fired First.

"When We were within 300 yards the Mexicans opened fire, and a strong one before we fired a shot; then we opened up, They did not run. To make a long account short, after about an hours fire, in which both troops had advanced, Troop to position of Mexican machine gun and K Troop closing in slightly to the left. We were very busy on the right, keeping off a flank attack A group of Mexicans left town, went around our rear, and led our horses off a gallop.
 At about g o'clock one platoon of K Troop, which was on our right, fell back. Sergeant said he could not stay there. Both platOons fell back about 1000 yards to the west, and then to- gether with some men of c Troop who were there these scattered.
