THE TOBACCO MARKET

And still the stream of tobacco
keeps running to the three tobacco
warehouses in this city and at ev-
cry sale one can see the growers
smiling and in many cases the look
of wonderment and pleasure spread
over the features of man when his
crop average is made out for him,
and we can hear on all sides, express
sions of satisfaction at the prices
being obtained. Land values have
been going up by leaps and bounds
and many farms have changed hands
in the last few days at prices that
astound many conservative business
men and farmers. We heard a man
say last week that he believed that
land would sell in this county for
1000 per acre next year is tobacco
remained as high as it is this year.
Whether he is a good prophet or not,
of course time alone can tell.
Considerable land has been rented
for tobacco and we hear of land
renting from 800 per acre up to as
high as $3.50 and know of some that
has been rented for $175 per acre
for two years. Quite an amount has
been sold over the floors but there is
yet considerable tobacco to be strip
ped.

CHIHUAHUA MUTINY

[RspubIIcan A. P. Leased wrel

FL PASO, Aug. 10.--A plot to have the Chihuahua City garrison revolt against the Carranza commanders and join Vllia Friday was discovered early Wednesday morning and large num- Der of federal officers and soldiers, in cluding one brevet general were placed in the federal penitentiary, charged with netting a mutiny, according to American and Mexican passengers ar irving from Chihuahua City today.
 The passengers said they heard shots fired iI the patio of the penitentiary before they left and said this started rumors in the state capital that the leaders of the mutiny had been exc cuted although this was not confirmed when they left for the border, they said. All telegrams and mail is being closely censored out of Chihuahua City, they said, to prevent news of the at tempted revolt reaching other parts of the stare where federal troops are sta toned. One of the passengers estimat- ed the number of federal prisoners in the pcnitentiary, arrested following the discovery of the plot to be 1000, in cluding many officers from the rank of sub lieutenant to brevet general but this is considered here to be an exag- erated estimate of the number of ar rests.
 The plot. which had been planned for several weeks, was discovered when two of the leaders went to Jim enez and Santa Rosalia to induce the garrisons there to revolt An effort was made to have a colonel named Hernandez join the revolt as he had been deprived of his command by Gen. eral Manuel Dieguez recently. Instead of joining the plot. he telegraphed to General Enrique Martinez, chief Of staff 10 General Dieguez, giving the details of the plot as it was revealed to him Arrests of the leaders in Chi huahusl City and Santa Rosalia fol- lowed according to the reports brought to the border today.
 The plan was to have the garrison mutinyI against the loyal officers at revelle Friday morning, send courier to Villa telling him to come and assume command of the troops and accept the surrender of the city. the passengers said. .A federal colonel. learning of the discovery of the plan early Wednesday, escaped with his command of $50 men and Is reported to be marching to join Villa south of Parrel, these reports stated Loyal troops are said to be pursuing the battalion and trains have been annulled to prevent them from capturing train and making their es cape.

Gives Railroads Chance
 T do believe in close su- pervision of the railroads of the country, but such super vision as we have had has been too severe. We should give the railroads a chance, give them adequate revenue by proper rates So they can attract the necessary capital for maintenance and in- provements. We have not allowed rates to go up as they shouId.''
 Referring to the strikes of railroad shopmen through out the country and de mands of other railroad unions for increased wages, Mir Taft said:
 Men Seek Too Much
 While l have not gone into the subject with the thoroughness to warrant a final judgment, l will say that from what I do know, it seems to me that the men are requesting a greater in- crease than the percentage of increase in the cost of Iiv- ing warrants. Thus it ap- pears they are asking more than they are entitled to re. ceive."

GALL MEET IF SHOPMENT II TX POLICY ON
 STRIKE ISSUES
Convention Will Be Held at Chicago Thursday to Get Views of Workers in All Sections of U. s.

CHICAGO. Aug. 10-A call for a convention of representatives of the striking railway shopmen of the eoun- try, to be held here next Thursday, to determine definitely what action shall be taken, was issued today by the Chi cago district council of the Federated Railway Shopmen, which called the strike August 1, in defiance of the in ternational officers of the shop cr;Afts unions.
 This decision was reached as a re- suit of conferences held yesterday by some of the international officers and representatives of the council and strikers.
 The strike has been declared illegal by the international officers. It was called by the Chicago district council, whose officers declared such was the wish of the rank and file because the international officers had failed to ob- tain a settlement since demands for 85 cents an hour for mechanics and 50 cents for helpers were presented last February to the rail administration. The council has stood for continual tion of the strike until their demands should be granted. Its secretary sent a telegram to President Wilson re- fusing to order the men to return.
 L. M. Hawver, president of the dis trict council, said 200 telegrams were sent today to railroad eenters request ing that the men send delegates who would reflect the attitude of the shop workers
 D. Sanders, secretary of the dis trist council and David Crosswhite. vice president of the interRational car mems union, left today for Washing ton to confer with Director General Hines. It was decided yesterday the international officers would use their influence so obtain hearing fos Sam ders.
