place.
Gen. Rafael Columga, commander of
the federal garrison, was reported to
have said yesterday that if a "recog~
nlZed commander" with a force of any
size approached he would surrender.
but that if the approaching force
proved to be in command of "some
bandit" he would fight to the last.
Matamoros citizens have urged him
to surrender the town and avoid blood
shed.

tween rebels and federals on the

Revolutionary Leaders Seeking Recog-

Started
WITH MARINES

Ell Paso, Texas, May 11.-With the
fate of President Carranza still in
doubt, reports of few minor engage
ments between federal rebel forces
along the northeastern border of Nexi-
CO reached revolutionary headquarters
today.
Caranza forces at Sabinas, Coahuila
were routed by troops under Gen. An
tnoio Pruneda and after the battle a
train load of wounded federals was
sent to Piedras Negras, opposite Eagle
Pass, it was reported.
Fighting was said to be in progress
at Matamoros, opposite Brownsville,
Texas, with the revolutionists attack
ing the town.
Eight hundred laborers and their
families were reported as having
gathered at Monclova; Coahuila where
they were said to be seeking protec-
tion from the menace of Carranza
forces operating in that region.
Reconstruction Begins.
Claiming the greater part of Mexico
as their territory revolutionary agents
here today began their share of the
long task of reconstruction, which
faces a country torn by war for an
entire decade, is the first step, Rob-
erto Pesqueira, revolutionary financial
agent in the United States announced
that he was making efforts to obtain
individual contracts for Mexican la
borers entering the United States, in
stead of the collective engagements
that have hitherto prevailed. Senior
Presqueira charged that exorbitant
fees were being charged by labor
agents on both sides of the interna-
tional line.
ave shall also try to eliminate pass
port frauds which are being prac-
ticed by private individuals here and
in Juarez," Presqueira said. $50 far

Before President Wilson.

Washington, May 11.-Official re-
ports telling of the overthrow of
President Carranza of Mexico were
before President Wilson and his cabi-
net today but the new turn of events
south of the border was understood
to have been given only passing atten-
tion.
Dispatches from navy officers and
state Department representatives have
all indicated thus far that assurances
Of protection to Americans and other
foreigners had been given by vic
torious leaders of the revolutionary
forces, and there was nothing Of an
emergency nature in the situation, Of
ficials indicated, that called for ac-
tion by the Washington Government.
The question Of recognition Of the
new government apparently in process
Of formation in Mexico may arise soon
1t was reported today that plans for
asking recognition were being pressed
before revolutionary leaders.
The fate of Carranza still remained
in doubt. Official advices threw no
light on his present whereabouts. He
was variously reported, unofficially as
prisoner and rs fugitive after es-
Gaping from the hands of his captors
A report tonight to revolutionary
agents here, received in a roundabout
way, told Of the fight between q force
sent out by Gen. Candido Aguilar SON
inlay Of Carranza, and Juan Merigo,
commanding an escort of one of Presi-
dert Carrarza's trains. Merigo was
reported to have raised the flag of re-
volt and after engaging Aguilar near
Cordoba, to have made his way south
ward TO join Gen. Guadalupe Sanchez,
a rebel leadcr.
The report added that Merigo and
Sanchez Were in pursuit of force
under Gen. cderico Monies, one Of
the federal commanders said to have
remained loyal to Carranza.

CENSUS FIGURES
AND CONGRESS

Washington, May 1.-THE subject
Of cutting down Southern representa-
tion has again come up for considera-
tion in quiet way by members of con-
gres as the returns from the various
cities and towns of that section. as
census figures are given out, indicate
that several Of the states of the South
will add to their delegations in the
house.
The Southern cities of Augusta, Ma
con, Jacksonville, Columbia, Knox
vile, Tenn, and others in the South
have shown considerable growth with
in the past ten years, and some of
the larger ones, as Atlanta, Birming-
ham and others are still to be heard
from as to what they have done.
Enough has been shown, however, to
indicate that the South will increase
its number Of representatives in con-
gres, unless the Republicans hold the
balance Of power again and not only
fail to seat new members but pass a
bill to cut down the number already
here. This latter plan would seem i'm
possible, but it may not be so. The
fact is, however,, that the memner
ship of the" house will probably re-
main as it now is-435 members-ad
mltting no more by the new census.
It Is predicted that as a result Of the
new tabulation there viii be MANY new
members, the old membership number
ing 386 before the new census in
creased this to 435.
A day or two. ago Champ Clark, for
mcr speaker Of the house, asked Re
publican members what they intended
doing about this matter and said that
already the hall of the house was far
too small Ito accommodate the present
number, and that if more were to. be
admitted it would be necessary to en-
tTcly rearrange the entire seating
and acoustic accommodations for the
various members.
Mr. Clark asked the Republicans
point blank what plans they had up
>''>'- ''>>'So Aoi ic'luClllS lHc NUMBER
OF members, and if they intended to
put such plan in action. OF course
there was no direct reply for very
good reasons, bit it is known for in
stance that if Georgia gets 13 mem
bers the house instead of 12, as at
present, or Florida should be entitled
to five instead of four, that big howl
will go up that that section already
has more members than she is entitled
to send here.
There is strong probability that both
of these states will add another mem
ber, and in that case there must be a
redistricting law passed by the re-
spective legislatures.
1t is believed also that Tennessee
and Mississippi, as well as some of the
other states in the South will increase
their representation in the house, pro-
vided, of course, that if the figures
show they are entitled to these in
creases and they knock at the doors of
congress for admission Republican
majority-if the latter is then in pow
er-does ro& keep them out.

"Tobys Bow Miss Pawn plays the

John Tainter Foote. the author Of
