RAILROAD MEMS
STRIKE ON s. P.
De MEXICO ENDS

AIter tWenty-three days of practical
suspension of business, the s. p. de
Mexico yesterday at 1901 resumed
its operation of the road in Sonora.
and without hitch commenced once
more the task of supplying trans
portation to the west coast of Mex
leo.
The surrender of the strikers was
complete, due it is pointed out to the
threatened damage to the state and
the cause of the Constitutionalists
cause should they tie up the traffic
for a longer period.
The railroad company had refused
throughout to treat with the strikers
or recognize their union, and the men
now feel that in giving up their de-
smands they have lost all chance for
recognition for some time to come;
they however decided to put the cause
OF the state paramount and surrender
completely until such time as they
felt they could ask again for their
rights to unionize without jeopardiz-
ing the cause.
The railroad company say that they
gave the men substantial raise in
February, and this in view Of the fact
that the road has been losing money
for the past several years due to the
unsettled conditions in Mexico is all
they can afford at the present time.
The end of the strike came yester-
day when Governor de la Huerta an
nounced to Col. Epes Randolph that
the state of Sonora would no longer
attempt to run the railroad and that
the company could take it over and
resume its operation. This was done
by 7. G.. Wright, assistant terminal
superintendent in behalf of the COM
pany. Telegraph communication was
almost Immediately made with EN-
paine and other points along the line,
orders We're given and reports re-
ceived.
An instance which shows the rapid
ity with which the company took con-
troll of things was the moving last
evening of a train of oil, coke, coal
and mine timber from Naco to Can
anea for the use of the mining COM
panies there, assuring the continuous
operation of the mines in that big
camp.
Reports of the taking over of the
road and the progress made were re-
ceived at "The Oasis" Office and bull
letins posted to keep the public in
formed.
Trains will be running throughout
the entire system today as if no
strike had ever occurred.
The railroad officials announced
yesterday that all the men would be
taken back into their former positions

MOVEMENT IS
GAINING GROUND !

Commercial Agent -Tamez, of the
State of Sonora, yesterday received
a wire announcing that Governor de
la Huerta had accepted the position
Of commander-in-chief of the armies
Of the Liberal Constitutionalist cause
imposed upon him by the Plan of
Aqua Prieta. In announcing his ac-
ceptance Governor de la Huerta eX-
pressed realization of the responsible
ity imposed upon him, and hoped that
he would prove able to the task of
leading the cause until success might
be achieved and the liberty of the peo-
pie secured.
The cause of the constitutionalists
appears to be gaining ground rapidly
throughout the nation according to
announcements made by the Sonora
authorities yesterday General Angel
Flores has been pursuing the reatret-
ing Iturbe forces relentlessly in spite
of the fact that they have destroyed

ed between Culiacan and Diamos the
point to which the fighting general
has advanced up to Sunday night.
Diamos is only "a kilometers north. of
Mazatlan, which indicates that Flores
and his army have been moving ex-
ceedingly rapidly in spite of the
handicaps forced upon them. "
1t was also announced yesterday
by the Sonora authorities that Consul
General Denegri, head of the Mexican
consular service in New York, had
wired them offering his. aid to the
cause. Mr.. Denegri informed the. So
nora authorities that he had plead
with Carranza to cease his present
tactics and recognize the rights of the
people, and meeting with refosal,
could see his way clear to no other
course than to join the revolutionists.
1t was also announced that Candido
Aguilar who was moving toward So
nora with 1000 troops to back up
General Dieguez had been blocked in
Zacatecas by Enrique Estrada, who
has espoused the cause of the. revo-
lutionists in that state, and has rend-
cred Aguilar's advance slow if not
stopped it entirely. -.
Tampico they claim, is now being
besieged by the combined forces of
Generals Gomez and Pelaez, with
General Murgia and his federal forces
in a very tight place. -.
These things, together with the
settlement of the railroad strike and
the resumption traffic throughout the
West Coast, given the Constitutional
lists every cause for rejoicing them

KANSAS BANKER ANSWERS
Explains Penalty For Drawing Check
Without Money

A recent issue Of the Kansas Bank
err answers question which has puz-
zled many people. namely:
What is the penalty for writing Il
check on the bank where the drawer
knows he has no money to cover?
The answer is found in Sections
3471 and 3472, G. 8. 1915. The first
section defines the ooffense, and the
second prescribes the penalty. It
Is made misdemeanor If the check
is drawn for less than $50, punish
able by fine Of not less than $25
or more than 500, or Imprisonment
In the county Jail for not less than
ten days or more than six months, or
by both such fine and imprisonment.
But IL the check Is drawn for an
amount of 500 or more, then such
person would be deemed guilty Of a
felony, and upon conviction, punished
by fine Of not less than 500 nor
more than $4,000, or by imprisonment
in the state penitentiary for not less
than one year nor more than five
years, or by both such fine and i'm
prisOnment.
1t will Of course be borne In mind
that this statute was not at all in
tended to apply to ordinary bank
transactions where a depositor might
happen to make the use Of little
red ink necessary, but it was intend

be played Friday, Nov. 9th. The high
school Aggie team will attempt to
keep the home boys from winning

allowed at st. Johns, that 1t is time
for Abilene to win this week. The
Aggies were defeated last week large
ly through lack Of team work and
they have promised to remedy this
before their game here on Friday.
The Aggie high school team Is made
up Of students of the State Agricul-
ture College who did not have suffi-
cient credits to be called freshmen
or who are ineligible for the fresh
men team and are stronger than the
average high school team. Hargiss
