schell Furniture Co., was interviewed
today about the reported reductions
n furniture. he said:
aThe Keokuk furniture dealers
heat the big mail order houses to it.
The mail order houses do not give
any specific prices, but just announce
reduced prices. In keokuk dehnlse
nice reductions have been made and
i, should be remembered that the
local dealers did not have to be
forced by mail order houses or any
other influence to lower the prices.
reductions were voluntary and as
conditions justify further lowering

look for additional reductions for
some time as the factory prices are

MT been made In every line, but they
have in, many lines and prices are
heing reduced In these lines in our

MANY articles are not reduced at all
by manufacturers and jobbers."

FL Paso, May 4.-Juarez has Sc
ceded from the Carranza government
and, it seems assured, has thrown in
its lot with the Sonora rebel govern
ment. Obregonistas in FL Paso had

since the revolt In Chihuahua City was
launched. Prior to that time plans for
revolution throughout the entire
state has been, mapped. Arrangements
for the delivery of the, city We're COM

warded to the Sonora officials.
The revolt was brought about with
out single shot being fired Six sol
diers Of the Seventy-eighth cavalry
rode through the city blowing bugles.
This was the first intimation that the
garrison had declared itself against
the Carranza government, although
this had been anticipated for week.
The buglars were followed by the
Fifty-seventh infantry band. Hundreds
of civilians fell into line with the mu-
sicians and, with shouts of viva,
ObregOn - paraded the streets of the
city for an hour, after which Juarez
became quiet and business proceeded
as usual. Saloons had been closed by
the military earlier in the day.
In the meantime the international
bridges were closed to Americans and
those in Juarez were Informed that
their passports must be vised by Off
cials of the new government before
they could be used in crossing the line.
Mexicans were permitted to cross to
Juarez, but were informed that before
returning to the American side their
passports must be vised.
Soon after the revolt was declared
in effect, General Escobar called on
American Consul Dow and informed
him that he need have no fear for the
safety of Americans. Should there be
fighting or an attack on the city he
would attempt to place his troops so
as to prevent firing into Ell Paso.
Military men arrested Mayor Trini-

in the hands of the rebels.
