ELI PASO, July 28.-Following re- newed instructions by the American state department to the American em- bassy in Mexico City and the Ameri- can consul in Chihuahua City to ask for the prompt return of horses stolen from the Babicora Cattle company's ranch in western Chihuahua. General Manager John c. Hayes was notified today that General Ignacio Enriquez had promised to return immediately the 4S horses taken from the Babicora ranch. General Enriquez, who is com mancer of the federal auxiliary forces. demanded 100 horses from the Babicora ranch, which is owned by the estate of the late Mrs. Phoebe Hearst. Gen. eral Manager Hayes informed him the horses could not be spared. Soon after thls the AS head were communicated.
 Villa followers under Ramon Vega, Friday visited the ranch of E. F. Full Ter an American, 12 miles from Villa Ahumada, and drove off F horses and number of cattle. A small federal garrison was stationed on the ranch at the time. but made no effort to pursue the Villa band, according to a report brought to the border today.
 An American who arrived from Du- rango City, Durango, today reported Francisco Villa with a small band Of men operating in Durango. He said the federal troops were making little effort to pursue Villas men in that state and there were only 200 Carranza troops in Durango City. the capital. He said Villas troops were scattered and no effort was being made to con duct a campaign, but that each band was operating independently

 WASHINGTON, July 2S.-Mr. Debuchi, counsellor of the Japan ese embassy in charge in the ab- sence of Viscount lshii, conferred at the state department today with Secretary Lansing.
 So far as is known, no formal request has been made upon the Japanese embassy by the admin istration to issue any statement re- garding the Japanese purposes as to Shantung, but Mir. Debuchi was willing to discuss the subject with the Associated Press, with the dis tinct understanding, however, that he was expressing his own per- sonal views.
 In answer to question as to what was to be the final disposi- ton of the Japanese troops in Shantung, Mir. Debuehi replied:
 Japan has firmly determined to restore to China her sovereignty over the leased territory of kiao Chow, which sovereignty was con ferred upon Germany in accord ance with the stipulations of the treaty between China and. Japan in 1908.
 Japan is not only prepared to restore that property to China but is also ready to open negotiations to that end with China as soon as possible"

 RAIL CONTROL
Commercial and Industrial
 Organizations Vote Over whelmingly in Favor of Private Ownership Than 1,2O0 Votes Cast
1RepuhIlcan A. ?. Leased Wrel

DENVER, July 2S.-Commercial and industrial organizations of the United States are overwhelmingly in favor of private ownership of railroads under government supervision. according to announcement here tonight of results of a referendum vote taken by the United States Chamber of Commerce.
 Officials of the chamber, who are touring the west, made the announce ment at banquet rendered them by Denver business men.
 All but one of the recommendations for remedial legislation, drafted by the railroad committee of the chamber, were approved by a two thirds vote
 The rejected recommendation dealt with payment into a fund of share of the excess earned by any railroad over an equitable return upon fair value of property. The vote on this recommendation was $50 to $40, less than a two thirds majority. More than 1900 organizations voted.
 The recommendations follow:
 Adherence to the policy of corporate ownership and operation, with com prehensive regulation.
 Return of roads to corporate operate as soon as remedial legislation can be enacted.
 Adherence to a period of federal con- trol as now fixed, unless and until i'm possibility of remedial Legislation in this period clearly appears.
 Permission for consolidation in the public interest, with prfor approval by government authority, in a limited number of strong competing systems.
 Requirement that railroad companies engaging in interstate commerce be- come federal corporations, with rights of taxation and police regulations re- served for states.
 Exclusive federal regulation of capi- tai expenditures and security issues of railroads engaged in interstate com merce, with provision for notice and hearing for state authorities.
 Federal regulation in intra- state rates affecting interstate commerce.
 A statutory rule providing that rates in each traffic section shall yield an adequate return to a fair value of the property, as determined by public au thority.
 A federal transportation Itoard to promote development of a national system of rail- water and highway transportation and articulation of all transportation facilities.
 In reporting the vote, the committee declares that the chamber called into conference at Washington more thar two score prominent men associated with prominent interests affected by transportation needs, "so that each i'm portant interest should have a voice il determining what should be done witt 1 the railroads"

Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

MINEOLA, N. Y. July 2s.-Three bombing planes, including the Martin machine in which Captain Royn Fran ci5 planned to leave next Friday on rans-continental flight were wrecked by a terrific electrical storm which, sweeping over Long Island this after noon, struck a steel hanger at Haxle- hurst field.
 WASHINGTON, July 2S.-Lightning struck a hanger at Hazlehurst field this afternoon, housing the Martin bombing plane in which Captain Royn Francis was prepared to make one stop flight across the United States. The machine was completely demol- ished, reports to air service headquar- ters said, except for its motors, but it will be replaced as soon as possible and the flight made notwithstanding. Captain Francis and other aviators at the field had been warned earlier | in the day, the air service said, to try no flying, owing to forecast of bad weather. True to the prediction. a small cyclone hit the field and the wind and lightning bolt together com pleted the demolition of the machine and it's hanger
 | Only the two motors in the plane were left undestroyed, the official re- port said The trip was to have com = menced Friday morning, with the first and only stop between Long Island and San Francisco at North Platte, Ne braska, 1,50o miles away. Some delay will DOW intervene before the comple ton of the flight, but the air service announced that if the demolished plane l ,at ha st cd c h. able another machine would be sub stituted.
 Sweeping along from the northwest and passing over the spot where the British dirigible R-3A was moored while in this country. the storm wrecked virtually everything in it's path.
 Forty temporary wooden buildings and 300 tents at Mitchell aviation field were blown flat with the stable of Meadowbrook Hunt club and two officers barracks near there were lev eled and general havoc was wrough here and in Garden City and Jamaica
 The storm struck a seven ton Hand ley Page bombing plane, one of thu machines which was wrecked while 2 men were trying to hold it down. l was blown half a mile across Hazle hurst field and literally reduced t splinters At Mitchell field the roof were blown off two frame hangers The northern edge of Camp Mills wa struck by lightning.
 Two men who were in the stee hanger at Hazlehurst field when i : was struck by a bolt of lightnin niraculously escaped injury when tn } roof fell.
 , In this hanger was the Marti bombing plane, commanded by Captai

 were virtually demolished. The storm broke out of clear six with less than five minutes warning

SPOKANE, Wash. July 2S.-Fires in the forests of northern Idaho and western Montana, with but seven ex- captions, did not give the federal ser- vice serious consideration today.
 Lolo national forest fires which broke all controls again engendered St. Regis, lumber camps and power lines. The Henderson fire was re- ported sweeping northeast and two towns, Stark and Houdan, are in danger from the negro gulch fires.
 Except for the fire that has burned 8, 600 acres between the north and south forks of the Occur d'Alene river in the Occur d'Alene national forest of Idaho and two other blazes, no for est fires in northern Idaho were con- sidered serious.
 The forests on both sides of Glacier national park were burning and TOO men are trying to confine flames at Coram, Glacier and Belton.

Strike CaU To
 Tae Up Chicago
 Traction Lines

CHICAGO, July 23.-Street car employees tonight voted to strike at 4 a. m. tomorrow, after refusing to ratify an agreement reached earlier in the day between repre- sentatives of the employees and employers. The agreement, repre- sentatives of both parties had thought, would avert a Walk-out. Apparently 15,000 men will be ef- fected by the walk-out.
 The walk out which will affect both the surface and elevated em- pIoyes, will tie up the transporta- tion system of the city except sub urban trains.
 The agreement, which was re- fused at a meeting tonight of the employees, would have given the men a wage of 65c an hour, their present wage being 48c, they would have had an 8-hour day and were to be paid time and half over time.
 All ears on the surface lines will be ordered to the barns at a. n., w. M. Weatnerwax, superintendent of the system announced tonight.
 He said the cars on the elevated lines would not be operated and that the order affecting the surface lines would operate with the ele- vated lines.
 The strike will not affect the transportation system in the sub urbs west of the city.
