the weapon from the center of the
railroad tracks, facing the center Of
the approaching federal lines. he said.
Two surprises we're accredited by the
rebel commander with having brought
his troops victory. Federal troops were
said to have reached Corralitos. north
Of EScalon, yesterday. The rebel gen.
eral said that his march toward EScalon
had not been expected and consequently
the government troops were not pre-
pared for it. The second surprise came
from the air, he reported, when Is rebel
planes appeared over the battlefield in
the midst of the fighting. Most of the
planes were unsuitable to synchroniZed
machine guns and the pieces were fixed
to the floor, pointing downward. AS the
ships few over the battlefront they
were reported to have dropped scores
of bombs on the federal reinforcementS

one at an airport near Juarez.
Left Groups of Rebels.
Gen. Escobar said that when he re-
treated to Jimenez from Torreon, he
left small groups of rebel soldiers posted
at strategic points along the line of the
federal advance. When he was ready to
fight, these small groups of hidden men
plunged into the battle from different
sides and the federal troops had three
fronts to defend.

Announcement of the recapture was

NEW YORK, April 1.-The consensus
Of fashion experts who watched Easter
parades is that modish skirts are just
q trifle longer. Bowling to a recent de-
cree from Paris, many of the fashion,
able paraders along Fifth avenue wore
dresses that came an inch or two below
the knee. A few that were emphatical-
ly longer were seen. Here and there
we're distinctly low hemlines showing a
tendency to dip in uneven frills. There
were also plenty of ultra short skirts.
Shoes were so variegated that they
often struck the eye before the other
components of the costume. Purple,
green, pink. beige and steel blue suedes
were the rule. Lavender kid and polka
dotted footwear proved startling. Rep
tile skins were popular.
Most of the women had costumes in

agents and other persons having any
knowledge of the facts concerning the
arrival Of Mr.. Morgan on the liner
Cristobal and the contents Of his bag
gage.
Refuses Additional Comment.
Prior to questioning these men Mr..
Tuttle would not elaborate an carrier
statement that he would investigate the
reports thoroughly.
Il do not want to 60 any further than
what knowledge I have of the facts in
dtcates should" he told reporters,
and know now just what you gentle
men know, that certain reports were
made and contradicted. Whatever
transpires in the future will be the re-
suit of investigation of those reports"
Until he had questioned the customs
men Mr.. Tuttle said he could not tell
whether he would request Mrs. ThomaS
Hall. widow of a Bismarck. N. OAK,
member of Congress, to come before
him.
The reports about Representative
Morgan included statements that MRS.
Hall, also a passenger on the Crlstooal,
had demanded free entry, and when
this was refused, had been assured by
Mr.. Morgan that when he got back to
washington he would attend to the
matter"
May Present Case to Jurors.
Tuttle said if sufficient evidence was
obtained the case would be presented
to the Federal grand jury. He would
not say whether Mr.. Morgan would
be called before the grand jury.
The first step in the investigation,
Mr.. Tuttle said. would be questioning
Of L. E. Crawford and James McCaoe,
customs inspectors, who asserted they
found the liquor in Morgan's luggage.
The customs inspectors said they
found four bottles labeled Whisky IN
Mr.. Morgan'S baggage last Monday;
that he admitted 1t was whisky; that ne
telephoned to the deputy surveyor OF
customs for free entry to the port,
which was granted, and that they then
permitted him to take the four bottles
from the ship.
Morgan Voted for Jones Act.
Mr.. Morgan, who has denied the
charges, has been elected to Congress
five times on dry platform. He voted
for the Jones act, under which he would
be prosecuted II indicted.
