thing resembling a holiday spirit
followed the feverish excitement
that had prevailed when the at

civilian recruits displayed their
weapons proudly, and laughed and
joked as they marched off to the
fight.
Several wounded federal soldiers
struggled across the international
bridge into El PasO for treatment
and protection.
A few bits Of comic entered in
the battle. A federal cavaIryman

A dozen or more miniature bat

rebel cont!ngentS came upon fed

Early in the battle II rebel cavalry

of the federal headquarters before
they were discovered. Machine gun

beware Of DIETS

Kellogg's ALL-BRAN VIII
Protect You

People are more careful than ever
before about diet. They diet to clear
complications. They avoid certain
foods to stay thin. They eat others
to get fat. But many r running
a serious danger because they are
missing the "roughage" or bulk"
foods that every person must have
to keep well.
AS a result, constipation gets in
its deadly work. Headaches, list
lessness, circled eyes are only the
first symptoms. In the end, con-
stipation ruins health, wrecks beauty
and may cause serious disease.
Don't neglect your daily rough
age. That is natures rule. Kellogg's
ALL-BRAN will supply it. A health
full cereal to eat each day. To use
in cooked dishes or to serve with
milk or cream. To mix with other
cereals.
ALL-BRAN is guaranteed to re-
lieve constipation - to prevent it.

Stewart Wins Shareholders
The vote was nearly two to one
against Col. Stewart, but the indi-
vidual shareholders stood two TO
one behind him, viz:
Shareholders for John d. Rookie
feller, Jr., 1924.
Shareholders for Col. Stewart,

Stewart, it was announced.

Stephens Loses
With Col. Stewart to defeat went
L. L. Stephens, general counsel;
and in this defeat the issue be-
tween Rockefeller and Stewart was
sharply defined. The fight against
Stewart had been predicated upon
the Rockefeller belief that Col.
Stewart was morally unfit" to con-
tinue the direction of the company
because of his connection with the
Continental Trading company deal.
Stephens knew Of Col. Stewards
handling of the Continental bonds
long before it became a matter for
investigation by the United States
senate. His removal from the board
yesterday was regarded as having
been brought about for that rea-
son.
The new directorate is:
William A. Burton, former preSi-
dent; Melgin A. Traylor, Thomas
S. Cook, Gentry Cash, G. j. Bark
dull, r. E. Humphreys, Ames Ball,
E. j. Bullock, r. H. McElroy. Allan
Jackson and Edward G. Schubert.
The first four are new members.
They were chosen to fill vacancies
created by the defeat of Stewart
and Stephens and by death.
Col. Stewart, by reason of his %
years service with the company, is
entitled to an annual pension of
approximately $4,000. His salary
as chairman Of the board was
Sl25,000 a year.

The Battle Breaks
Indications that the battle was
imminet were found on both sides
Of the border an hour before the
first crash of artillery. Enlisted
men from Fort Bliss in Ell Paso,
who had kept a silent vigil all night
beside a long fleet of armored motor
cars, received orders that sent them
deploylng along the American side
Of the river.
Two mounted railroad cars, which
had stood like great grim ghosts
through the night, on the Ameri-
can side, suddenly were pulled from
their positions to a track running
parallel with the river. The full
complement Of border patrolmen
were called to arms and the entire
personnel of the mounted customs
office also were prepared for any
emergency.
For an hour they waited. Sud-
denly from across the river came
the sounds of battle. The Stacatto
reports of machine guns mounted
on houSetopS answered fuSSiladeS
OF the advance guard of the rebels.
Heavier guns doomed forth and
puffS of smoke could be seen at Ell
Paso as rival artillery barked.
Cavalry Guards Border
On the United States banks of
the Rio Grande, federal cavalry
men dashed here and there. After
the first blast of battle there was
a brief respite.
At the beginning of the second
outburSt, members Of the mounted
truck squadron from Fort Bliss
scampered here and there after re-
ceiving orders from commanding
officers. One mounted car was
hurried to the Santa Fe railroad
when it became known the rebels
had captured it.

casualties at Juarez were assisted

customs officers, immigration men
and army officers conferred as to
whether the wounded should be

OF the Federation of Citizens Asso-
Citations. has announced that the
proposed George Washington men,
orial parkway along the Potomac
River will be the most important
business discussed at the meeting
OF the organization in the District
Building tonight.
But some members of the fedora.
tion think the proposed street car
merger now being considered by
the senate District Committee Is a
more pressing piece of business.
1t Is almost certain that some
phases OF this question will come
UP for discussion.
The merger question has been a
thorn in DR. Havsnner's side ever
since he took office. His first move
upon being made president of the
association was to wreck the organ
ization's public utilities committee.
william A. Roberts, vice chairman
of the merger. was among those
left off the committee by Havenner.
Since then the merger question
or any discussion of the public
utilities committee has thrown the
federation into an uproar.

gan, author OF the bin to establish
the memorial parkway has been
invited by Havenner to speak to-

The Wilson traction merger

Although the committee is known

No Concession Asked

If they are forced to do so.
1t was no surprise TO members
of the committee that the recent
reply of the traction companies 10
