Washington, d. c., june l6.-Secretary
Baker, appearing to-day before the SEN

be maintained for Mexican border duty
and to take care of vast stores Of gov

this country.
Every effort is being made, he said, to
dispose of all supplies and other holdings
in France, so as to relieve about 100000
men from duty. At present the govern

pelier and Burlington until 1874, when

known as A. and f. Johonnot until 1902,
when Albert Johonnott retired from the
business. In 1894 he became silent
partner In the firm of Johonnott & Hall,
furniture dealers.
Tho same year he identified with the
Capital Savings Bank & Trust company
and was associated with A. j. Sibley
during the history of the bank until the
tina of the death of Mr.. Sibley short
time ago. He was vice-president of the
bank for many years. He had also
served as director in other banking in
stitutions, was town clerk and treasurer
in Barre for few years, served as Sc
lectman in Montpelier some 10 years and

Is Being Conducted in Barre for the
Homecoming Reception.

Reminiscent Of various war drives
which carried Barre over the top and
preserved the city's record intact was
the canvass inaugurated this morning by
the community committee in charge of
plans for the homecoming celebration
July 4. Only meagre reports were avail
able at noon to-day, but there were am
Pile indications that the city is squarely
behind the movement to give the soldiers
and sailors of Barre and vicinity a mem
orable official welcome.
lnasmuch as the territory Is to be
thoroughly covered, the drive probably
will be continued tomorrow Business
men, merchants, professional men, quar-
riers and manufacturers are lending their
cooperation. For the reason that every
feature of the big celebration is to be
absolutely free to men, women and chill
dren, every workingman is being asked
to give a minimum of ST.
This evening all service men are urged
TO meet in the X. of P. hall to consider
with the committee further plans for the
day of celebration. The meeting will be
held at 8 o'clock. Meanwhile, elaborate
arrangements for the air fights, the pa
rade and other features are rapidly ap-
preaching completion.

Atlantic City, N. j., June l6.-Post-
master General Burleson's order, grant
ing the right of collective bargaining to
electrical and telephone workers, sign
ing Of which on Saturday averted ma
tionwide strike, applies to all other EN-
ployes under the postoffice department,
including telegraph operators and pos
tai employees, according to report made
to-day to the convention of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor by P. H. Me-
Carthy of San Francisco, chairman of
the committee that went to Washington
under direction of the convention.
This declaration resulted in a sharp
debate bv delegates. It started when
Il. P. Gaynor Of the letter carriers asked
If Postmaster General Burleson's orders
applied exclusively to telephone en-
ployes and added that he could see no
reason why all postal employees should
not be given the same rights as had been
granted employees of the telephone sys-
TEN. Mr. Mccarthy said that necessarily
the principles in Postmaster General
Burleson's orders must apply TO every
other organization under the postoffice
department.
The fundamental principles, Mr.. Nc
Carthy said. have been established.
John Lewis, vice president of the mine
workers, asked what effect the post
master generals action would have upon
the strike of the commercial telegraph
ers. Mr.. MSarthy said that while the
telegraph strike was not discussed dur
ing the conference with the postmaster
general, the committee was convinced that
the questions involved in the telegraph
ers' strike as well as any other that
might arise would have TO be dealt with
in accordance with the orders issued by
Mr.. Burleson Saturday.

FIRST CLASH WITH VILLA
VAS AT 2 O'CLOCK
Mexican Rebels Were Driven from the
Juarez Race Track BY Rifle and Ma
chine Gun Fire-Colored Troops
Were First Americans Across.

El Paso, June l6.--American troops
sent into Mexico last night to stop the
indiscriminate firing across the border
fought their first general engagement
with the Mexican rebel forces of Fran.
cisco Villa at the Juarez race track
shortly after o'clock this morning, and
the Americans were victorious. Villas
troops were driven from the race track
by rife and machine gun fire, and many
prisoners were reported taken by the
United States cavalry, which took up
positions on the east and southeast of
the track, according to an official report
at military headquarters.
The Mexican rebels and federal troops
fought in the streets of Juarez Saturday
and Sunday night, many on both sides
being killed Many bullets from the
rebel guns came across the Rio Grande
and two persons were killed and seven
wounded on the American side
When the Mexican bullets became too
thick for the safety of citizens of FL
Paso, Brigadier General j. B. Erwin at
IL o'clock last night ordered American
troops to cross the border, and in 10
minutes after the order was issued $500
United States soldiers were in Mexico.
The first troops to cross were the fourth
battalion of the oath infantry (colored)
a battalion of the SD artillery and the
5th and 7th cavalry.
Two American guns placed near the
international bridge shelled the race
track with shrapnel to dislodge the Vii
listas
After the Mexican federals were al.
lowed to retire into the town of Juarez,
Colonel Hadsells colored infantry opened
up with terrific rifle fire on the trenches
fsnking the race track. They advanced
in open order and succeeded in dislodg-
ing the Villa forces, who held the strong
est positions, as the colored troops were
forced to advance across a comparatively
open plain The first volleys from the
rifemen were answered, shot for shot,
by the Villa troops, who seemed to real
ize they were trapped by the cavalry in
the rear and the infantry in front. Then
the American machine guns started sput-
tering from adobe houses near the race
track, and the preponderance of rifle fire
was soon with the American forces.
As the American cavalry maneuvered
over the ,Juarez plain their positions
were marked by green rocket flares and

That Is What the Airmen Asserted After
They Had Landed.

London, Sunday, June l5.-When the
Wicker. vimy biplane driven by Captain
John Alcock, was first sighted crossing
the Irish coast, says dispatch to the
Daily Mail from Clifden, Galway, an
airpiane flew out from the Ornamore air
drome to render assistance. This ma
chine landed near the Vimy, but was
wrecked, owing to the softness of the
ground.
When the Vickers. Vimy machine land
ed, Lieutenant Arthur W. Brown, ths
navigator, said to Captain Alcock, 'Whsb
do you think of that for fancy navigat-
ingi" and the pilot of the machine res
sponded: "very good" The two men
who had just completed an epoch msks
ing voyage then shook hands.
When assistance reached the machine tha
two aviators were helped to the ground
and it was found that Lieutenant Browu
was slightly injured on the nose and
mouth by the Jolt given the machine
when it struck the ground. Both men
were deaf and dazed and were unabls
