The truck will cost between SO, 200

Then Chairman Buechner asked
Councilman Lang if he had any evil

that he made at the last committee
session to the effect that the insur-
ance companies were working in
conjunction with the truck builders
Councilman Lang replied that he
had said the two companies may
be working together and insisted
on standing pat. In making his ex-
PLANTATION he emitted a flow of ora
tory about constituents. etc, assert
ing he could not see where the
aerial truck would benefit the resi-
dence property owner and did not
believe in enacting laws which
benefited only a certain class of
people when all the taxpayers were

aerial truck question half a dozen
business men and members OF the
retail committee OF the Chamber Of
Commerce addressed the council in
favor of the purchase OF the new
apparatus Councilman Lang was
the principal opponent TO the truck
measure. After a half dozen letters
from cities where aerial trucks are
in use We're read by City Clerk Har-
vey ROstiser. all of which praised
the trucks Councilman Lang read a
letter he had received from Battle
Creek. which also approved of the
aerial trucks. But still Mr. Lang
declared he was not convinced Of
the advisability of buying such a
truck, even though It viii mean a
reduction Of from - TO Is percent
in insurance rates on business and
industrial buildings and may be the
means of saving lives

truck would be a benefit TO the city
as a whole He asserted that many
people living in the wards repre-
sented by the cOuncilmen worked
in the business district and If they
should lose their lives in fire
which could be prevented by the
aerial truck there would be an
other story 10 tell. Mr.. LandOn
dwelt upon this question TO some
extent and was followed by Charles
"A. Delphi. who declared that If the
business district would be destroyed
by fire, which could be prevented
by an aerial truck. the whole city
would suffer. He asserted the bust
ness district was the heart of the
city and without it the city could
not exist, and vice versa with the
outlying districts. He pointed out
that the business men pay their
share in the motor pumper recently
purchased. which is Of no benefit 10
them except that ii protects the
outlying districts. Sec'y Weigle Of
the Chamber of Commerce also
made a short talk, pointing out the
value of the aerial truck compared

Declaring that the street car ser
vice on the Sample St and Chaplin
st. lines is inadequate, a number
of west side residents addressed the
council, asking that they be given
l > minute service with larger cars.
The city attorney was ordered to
draw up a resolution requiring the
street car company to give a Is
minute service on the lines west of
Chaplin ST. and south of Sample St
1t was asserted by those who ad-
dressed the council that the cars
were too small for the traffic and
that they are getting but a half
hour service.
Half a dozen electrical concerns
signed a petition asking the council
to approve of the ordinance for an
assistant electrician. A favorable
vote was passed on the resolution

Want 81 200 For Concerts.
Members of the park board pre-
scented the matter of band concerts
for the parks during the coming
summer, asking the council for a
1900 appropriation to carry on
this work. 1t was asserted that the
outlying parks of the city are in
need of concerts and that it is
necessary TO have additional funds
to give these concerts. After con-
siderable discussion the park board
was asked 10 present the matter in
the form Of a resolution at the

\ tSAN4ANTONIO, Tex April DE
tails OF the brush between American
caValrymen and q band OF Villa follow
ers show that Col. Dodd led his Sew
enth and Tenth cavalry In a smashing
ride from the north towards Guerrero
when he learned of the presence there
of the villa forces covering the So
miles intervening IN n hours. Gen
eral Pershing said he arrived there at
6 O'Clock, going into action immediate
~.
Several villa prisoners were taken
in the engagement, the exact number
not being indicated in reports receiv-
ed here.
The Villa flight after the engage
ment was an utter rout, arms and
equipment being thrown away. The
dead and wounded villa soldiers were
lying about the field over which the
Americans fought, and Col. Dodd's
report said that perhaps the estimate
of 80 killed was low.
Late Nports indicate that Villa had
separated his 500 men into small
bands, each fleeing in q different d.
rection, and that the bandit himself,
with few chosen followers, was be-
ing jolted over the mountain roads in
an attempt to reach hiding place.
It was asserted in the dispatches
that despite the ardous mountain
march Of the Americans, the advance
guard crept up through arroyas be-
yond tha Villa outposts before they
were discovered and that the Ameri-
can Springfield rifles moved down the
Mexicans as they sprang from their
pallets.
Villa himself was in little tent
in the rear OF the encampment and
took no active part in the engage
ment, leaving direction Of his troops to
General Hernandez. St
The desolation OF the country in
which the engagem ent was fought,
and the difficulties in communicating
are shown in the fact that Col.
Dodd's report did not reach hcadquar-'
tsrs OF General Pershing at Colonia
for more than 4S hours.
It was a complete surprise to the
Villa force, which had entered into a
celebration of its victory over the
Carranza garrison the day before.
/. Soon afnsr the action began tho
Mexicons were breaking for cover. For
10 miles the running fight that began
at Guerrero was continued and aban-
doned only when the division OF the
retr:ating forces into numerous small
bodies made pursuit impossible.
