WASHINGTON, July 2.-Rebel forces
were defeated and scattered by federal
troops near the Aguada camp of the
Cortez Oil Company, in the Tampico
district of Mexico, June 80, according
to message received by the State De-
partment from Consul Shaw at Tampico.
This is the locality in which forty
Americans were captured and held by
bandits. Mr.. Shaw said his informa-
ton was based upon report he had
received from oil company officials yes
terday.
There were two actions, the consul
said. in which five or six rebels were
killed, three taken prisoners and sixty
OF their horses and mules captured.
Inc federal troops, he added, according
to his advices, were preparing to fol-
low up the rout of the rebels, while
other federal troops, he understood
were coming into the district.
Mr.. Shaw, in his message, which was
filed at noon yesterday, did not men
ton the name of the commander of the
rebel forces, but it was assumed here
1t probably was General Gorozave, who
recently took several Of the employees
OF the OIL company prisoners and seized
much destructible property of the con-
Germ as security" for the payment of
$4,000 pesos. The situation now was
apparently held we'll In hand hy the
troops of the Oregon government, the
consul said.

War Office Confirms Reports

MEXICO CITY, July 2.-Despite off,
cial insistence that reports Of the &C
Invites of the rebel Gorozave in the
Tampico region are falsifications, the
War Office to-day published communica-
lions from General Guadalupe Sanchez,
commander in that region, il which two
combats with the Gorozavc forces in
the last two days are described The
federal troops under General Antonio
Portas are said to have met and de-
cisively defeated Gorozavc, who had
only seventyone men, inflicting nu-
merous casualties and capturing horses
and ammunition.
Confirmation was received from au-
thoritative sources here to-day of the
attack by the insurgent general, Lar
raga, on the Palo Blanco camp, near
Tuxpam, although, as with Gorozave's
reported capture of the Augada camp,
the newspapers referred to it as a
canard

Pueblo Flood Desfifutes Here to
Find Work, But Fail; Family
Of Six Continues It's Search

With his wife and four children,
all under Is years of age, Harry
w. King, made destitute by the
Pueblo, Col, flood last spring,
stopped in Rock Island last night
in search of work.
Unable to find employment in his
trade, that of a barber, Mr.. King
gathered his few suitcases, took
Mrs. King and the four little Kings
and started for WaIcott, Iowa,
where he heard that there is an
opening in a barbershop.
King said he had been travelling
the country in search of work and
had come here from Peoria, his for
mer home. Mrs. Anna Kirkman,
police matron, reprimanded the
father for taking his wife and chill
dren day after day from city to
city, when he should have left his
family in Pueblo, where flood re-
lief committees would take care of
them until he found employment.
After employment was found, Mrs.
Kirkman said, the husband could
then send for his family.
Mrs. King and the children spent
the night at the Rock Island Y. w.
C. A, while the father of the fam
lily succeeded in raising so cents,
he said, with which to stay at
local hotel. The following story
was told by the mother this morn

ing. just before the family left for
Walcott:
I'VE lived in Butte. Mont. three
years, until about Is months ago,
when we moved to Pueblo. We were
comfortable in Pueblo; my hus-
band worked, my children were
well and we had a bank account of
$1,000.
But when the flood came our
house was completely washed away
and we lost the $4,000 we had in
the bank. We were able to save
only a few or our clothes. I grab
bed my 21z-year-old little girl, and
with the other two girls and the
boy, escaped injury. After the
food my husband obtained work
cleaning the debris from the streets.
but when this work ran out, he
started on a search for something
to do TO earn our food.
I'VE came to Peoria first, because
we used to live there, but there was
no work there. So we came to Rock
Island. 1 don't know where we
will go from here. We get on the
train and go until we find that
there's a job some place for my
husband"
Mr.. King said that if he was I'M
able to find work in Walcott. he
would go to Mathervil1e. and if no
work there. will go to relatives in
Mason City, Iowa.

curities with $4,000, 900 Left.

According to a letter received to-
day by Rock Island bankers from
J. E. German of Chicago, president
of the Rock Island lines, present
indications are that the financial
returns of the railroad system in
1921 will total approximately be-
tween $4,000, 900 and ST 900 900
which it is affirmed will be suffi-
cient for all fixed charges and the
full dividends on the preferred
stock of the company with a mar
gin of about 3 per cent on the COM
mon stock. Six per cent on the
fair value of the company's prop
erty is, on the governments own
figures, not less than $4,000, 900.
The statement is made that even
on the most conservative estimate
made by the government as to the
value of the property of the COM
pany, there is dollar for dollar be-
hind every one of the company's
securities with a surplus of $9,000,-
600.
The communication is dated yes
terday and is addressed to all banks
served by the Rock Island lines.
Particular attention is called to
an enclosure which is a copy of
an official letter to stockholders
written by Charles Hayden, chair
man of the board of directors, who
quotes the valuation of the COM
pany's property made by the inter-
state commerce commission and
claims it refutes for all time the
suggestion that railroad stocks are
"watered", and that the Rock Is
land Lines are over capitalized.
1915 Estimate.
1t is stated by Mr. Hayden that
after years work the tentative
valuation of the company's prop
erty was announced by the inter-
state commerce commission as ap-
proximately 1885, SOC, 900, as of date
June 80, 1915. the carrier property
being estimated at $685. ,539,013, and
the non-carrier property at s5,745,-
1876.
Additions and betterments made
from July 1. 1915, to June 80. 1921
of $36,374,45S are to be added, also
cash and materials of date June
80, 1921. of s25, Ass ,222, making the
total valuation, June 80, 1921, $685.

pany's books, are: long term debt,
1924, 505,515 loans and bills pay
able, $14 100000; preferred stock,

ital liabilities ahead of common

Common stock outstanding is
$74,482, 523 Through the addition
of this item, the total capital liza
bilities are $37S,476,027.
Labor Costs.
The chairman states that unSkill-
ed labor is costing the roads 40
cents an hour, whereas at various
points reached by the Rock Island
lines the rate of unskilled labor is
from % to 80 cents an hour.
The company does not object to !
paying its employees fair wages. |

STATE SEEKING
TO CONNECT UP
JACKET in CASE
Recall Witness TO Identity Coat
Worn By Mueller the Day
of Fight.

Developments this morning In
the trial OF the Weaver brothers
for. the murder of Harry Mueller
conferred around the overall jacket
alleged to have been worn by Muel-
Ter the day of the fight. The state
is seeking to have a previous rul-
ing reversed and the jacket admit
ted as an exhibit
Francis Vienger, boyhood chum
OF Mueller's, was recalled to the
stand. He said the jacket in ques-
ton was the one worn by Mueller
to the auction of livestock on the
farm of Mrs. George Weaver. Jan.
20, 1921. Vienger said he was with
Mueller most Of the day.
Jim Tatman, a witness yesterday
afternoon, also identified the jack
ct. He said Mueller was wearing
it when called to one side by one
of the brothers, as he was prepar-
ing to leave the sale, and said after
Mueller came back it was blood
spattered and torn.
The defense is Directing to the
exhibit on the grounds that it has
not been properly identified nor
connected with the case The court
prepared to hear arguments on the
question this afternoon.
Experts Agree.
Opinions of DR.. G. B. Ellis and
DR.. A. F. Kohler as to the cause
of Mueller's death correspondent
when expressed by them yesterday
afternoon. Both were permitted to
testify as experts.
DR.. Ellis said in his opinion in
turies to Mueller's head gave rise
to the tumor and its pressure on
the brain caused death. This was
substantially the same as Dr. Koh-
ler's testimony, which followed.
Both physicians said on cross-ex-
animation that either the tumor or
its ancestral cells existed prior to
the day of the fight. but that the
growth of the tumor was induced
by the effects of the blows to the
head.
