DESCRIBES FALL OF BAGDAD
Victorious British Troops Enter City
on Heels OF the Turks.

LONDON. March 13.-Lieut. Gen.
f. S. Maude, telegraphing late Sun
day night, gives the following details
leading up to and subsequent to the
capture OF Bagdad early Sunday:
Saturday evening we maintained
close touch with the enemy on both
banks of the Tigris south of Bagdad.
During the night the enemy evacu-
ated his entire trench line while we
pushed forward in close contact. Be
fore dawn on Sunday a general ad-
vance on both banks was ordered
and at 5:55 o'clock in the morning
we occupied the railway station. the
city being entered shortly afterward.
Our cavalry pushed forward in pur-
suit and after slight resistance oc-
cupied KaZimain, capturing over one
hundred prisoners and four damaged
airplanes.
"Our gunboats then took up the
pursuit.
During this recent fighting fierce
gales and binding dust storms, the
lack of water away from the river
and the vigorous pursuit made the
operations arduous.'

American Ambassador.

TOXIC, March 13.-As a special
mark of honor to the late George w.
Guthrie. American ambassador to
Japan, the emperor is expected to de-
tail a Japanese warship to transport
the body to the United States. The

will be a special manifestation of
friendship for the American nation,
especially as Japanese warships are

Great numbers Of persons have
visited the American naval hospital
where the body lies in state, the
closed coffin surmounted with a
beautiful wreath from the emperor.

To face the strike situation today than
they were when the contingency
threatened before" was the statement
emanating from office of Santa Fe
Agent l.. r. McKirahan yesterday aft
ernoon. And the statement reflects
the opinion OF the Frisco officials the
Katy men and the Midland Valley
representatives in Tulsa
The attitude assumed was not de-
fiant one, according to the Santa Fe
men, but merely that of preparedness.
According to their statements the
strike is most deplorahle and coming
at time when business was exceed
ingly good would have a tendency to
demorali2e traffic despite the almost
unlimited supply OF men to fill the
places that would be vacated. Extra
precautions have been taken to FIJI
the extra boards to their limit and as
n result every board In the country
is crowded with men who have broken
in and are prepared to step In and
fill any places that might be vacated
by the striking members of the rail-
road mems organizations.
Big Extra Boards Now.
Last September, when the strike
first threatened and the railroad situ-
alton was fully as serious. If not more
so. as it is today, practically every
road i'm the country was carrying but
small extra board. the regular win
ter cut having Just been made, an ac-
ton that becomes necessary immedi-
ately following the rush Of late
August and early September business

unfit for service, were hired right and

Today II is different. According to
the railroad men here who are In n
position to know the situation, suf
ficient number of men will be on hand
to handle the necessary transportation.
all of them with certain amount OF
experience in railroad work.

Terminal Superintendent A. d.
Lightner, executive officer OF the
Frisco at this place, was called to
Springfield yesterday on special busi-
ness for the road, a general call hay
ing been issued to the Frisco repre-
sentatives at each point to convene
at Springfield today To discuss plans
to combat the strike in the event OF
it Undertaking..
Altho there have been no orders
for embargoes on any further com

that something on that order will be
out today. according to Chief Clerk
Fleming of the Santa Fc Last fall
when the strike was considered inn
minent an embargo forbidding the ac-
cepting OF any perishable freight or
livestock was issued and all the roads
were obliged to turn down the desig
mated class of freight for n period
OF several days. However, perishable
goods will likely be handled in the
event Of n strike at this time, the

the Texas banking laws thru estab-
fishing excessive credit lines with the
Temple State bank and whether he
had charged to the state items for eX-
ponses at the governors mansion not
properly chargeable to the state. Mr..
