General Murguia's Command
at Second Battle of Ro-

Reports Reach Juarez That

Has Deserted.
NEW REVOLUTION TALKED

FL Paso, Tex, March l6.-Villa de-
cisively defeated General Francisco
Murguia's command at the second
battle of Rosario, Durango, Satur-
day, according to information re-
ceived here today by government
agents. After leading the de facto
troops into an ambush, Villa sue
ceeded in capturing one of the three
troop trains and killed and wounded
five hundred of the Carranza troops,
according to this report.
A personal encounter between
Villa and Murgua was reported to
have occurred during the battle, but
this was not generally believed by
the government agents.
Obregon Revolts.
Rumors of a new political align
ment in Mexico, with General Alvaro
Obregon leading the opposition to
General Carranza and the de facto
government, have been in circulation
here and in Juarez for the last twen-
ty-four hours, having been brought
here from the interior by Mexican
and foreign refugees.
The rumors were emphatically de-
MED by Carranza officials here today
and it was claimed General Obregon
is loyal to General Carranza and his
retirement from the de facto cabinet
was because of all affection of the
throat and not because of any po-
litical differences.
Garcia Makes Denial.
Andres Garcia, inspector general
of Mexican consulates, denied Obre-
gon had any part In any new revolu-
tionary movement against Carranza
and said he had retired because of i'll
health and his desire to return to
private life. 49,. ..,., ..,.-o.s
Obregon's name has be.a linked
with Felix Diaz in the rumors of the
new revolutionary movement, with
Villa having part in the movement
in the north, but this was doubted
here. The German question is said
to have played part in the supposed
movement, as Carranza's. apparent
friendship for the Germans has
caused number of his leaders to
turn against him, it was said here to-
day.
Pershing's Guide Shot.
El Paso, Tex. March 16.-Jose
Maria Flores, a guide and interpreter
for General Pershing in Mexico, was
executed near the Babicora ranch in
western Chihuahua recently by Julio
Acosta, a Villa leader, because of his
friendship for the Americans, an
American from Babicora reported
upon his arrival here today. A COM
panion of Flores also was executed.

Washington, March l6.-In prepa-

that may grow out of the German
crisis, the militia bureau Of the war
department has sent precautionary
instructions TO all state adjutants
general, outlining the plan to be fol-
lowed should the rational guard be

The intention had been to take this
step quietly and without publicity,

they constituted routine measure OF

In this connection it was pointed
out that the government is going to

Law Threatens to
Appeal to Nation
On Irish Question

London, March 16.--In discussing
the Irish situation in the House OF
Commons today Andrew Bonar Law,
chancellor of the exchequer, declared
the attitude of the nationalists might
compel an appeal to country on the
ground that the nationalists were un-
willing TO permit the government to
get on with the war.
Mr.. Bonar Laws review of the Irish
situation was long and careful one,
giving the government point of view.
Nothing which has happened in
the House OF Commons since | have
been a-member," he said, seemed to
me more deplorable than the lament
able resalt of our recent discussion
of the Irish question. This was de-
spite the fact that there exists among
all parties stronger desire than ever
before to get some settlement of this
vexed question: .-
Mr.. Bonar Law later said definitely
no orders had been issued in Dublin

POWER BEHIND PLAN
TO BRING ON STRIKE
President Calvin of Union Pa

TELLS WHAT TIEUP MEANS

Pacific before going west yesterday
gave out the following statement on
the railroad strike situation:
"In connection with the threat of
a general railroad strike at this time,
the question arises, is some power
shrewder and more astute than the
brotherhood leaders back of the plan
to precipitate a transportation tie-up
at this time and establish in this
country a condition which, to the
minds of our enemies in Europe, may
seem like revolt against our gov
ernment!'
II am in hearty sympathy with
Elisha Lee, chairman of the national
conference committee of the railways,
when he calls attention to the fact
that the serious international situa-
tion should cause every citizen to put
every thought of personal right or de-
sire second to his duty to his country.
"In letter addressed to President
Wilson, some days ago, the brother
hood leaders gave assurance that in
case of war they would render every
possible assistance to the government.
Overlook One Fact.
"They have overlooked the fact that
in many ways railroad strike in this
country would be worth more to our
enemies than the winning of many
battles, for the reason that it would
paralyze and stagnate all our re-
sources, and even if the strike be
called off should war be declared, the
strike tie-up would have resulted in
such congestion of freight in the
terminals and on the sidings that
many weeks and probably months
would be required to get this conges-
ton cleaned up before the railroads
would be in normal running condition
again.
This would mean that the move
rent of troops would be seriously
interfered with and the movement of
commissary supplies and munitions so
seriously interrupted as to give our
enemies tremendous advantage
"A day or two ago an officer of our
navy said: "A tie-up OF the railroads
for even two days would be serious
blow to the national welfare at this
critical time. We must keep the feet
fully eoaled and equipped with other
supplies.
Might Mean Much Delay.
"Moreover, we are rushing con-
struction work in the navy 'and
two days tie-up OF transportation of
the materials urgently needed might
mean a two months delay i'll the
emergency work we have undertaken.
"The rank and file of the railroad
brotherhoods have waited ten weeks
for the decision of the. United States
supreme court as to the constitu-
tionality Of the Adamson law, de-
cision which MAY be handed down al
most any day.
"In accordance with our agreement
at that time, the Union Pacific, in
common with the other railroads of
the county, has kept separate time
records since January !, scrupulously
recording the Increased pay that
would be due. its employees in case
the Adamson law is upheld.
Further, the strike vote taken by
the men was for specific time and
purpose, and in the minds of many
brotherhood members 10 make use OF
the strike vote taken last summer to
call a strike at this time would be
illegal.
