J BLOODY BATTLL
AT SANTA 11
THOUSAND FEDERALS AND SEV-
EN HUNDRED REBELS IN
STAND-UP FIGHT.
'Wounded Allowed to Die or Crawl
Away From the Field of Battle
Rebels Say They Will Not Accept
Peace Unless Diaz Resigns.
El Paso Tex. March 31. Reports
Teaching here say that a stubborn
and bloody battle la raging at Santa
Barbara southwest of Chihauhua.
One thousand federals and seven
hundred rebels are engaged In a
stand up battle fighting with modern
guns. There are no physicians or
trained nurses to aid the Injured who
fall and die or crawl away.
Senor Garza the lnsurrecto secre-
tary of state here says that the lnsur-
rectos will never accept peace terms
that do not Include Diaz's resigna-
tion. The peace movement must be
anti-Diaz before all else.
City of Mexico March 30. 'Re-
ports emanating from points in .the
United States to the effect that the
Mexican government intends to send
a peace commission to treat with a
similar commission representing the
rebels- have aroused here a lively
Interest and a hope that such is the
caBe 'but no government official has
been found who i would admit the ar-
rangement. The cabinet was recon-
structed' in the hope that the dis-
affected elements might he placated
and that the government is contem-
plating radical reforms for the same
reason is beyond question. The gov-
ernment has gone far in the matter
of making concessions but the belief
is growing that President Diaz Is
not yet willing to recognize Madero
and his followers to the extent that
he shall discuss with them terms
of peace.
Diaz Slow to Parley.
'Both foreigners and Mexicans are
Inclined to believe that the aged
executive was very slow to ;parley
with those who have dared to rise
in revolt against his administration.
If any peace negotiations are to be
conducted it is believed here that
the Initiative must come from the
rebels and according to statements
made in the United States the op-
posite Is the case.
Difference! of Opinion.
In this city there are few who
do not ihope that the government
and rebels are about to come to
terms hut there are many who be-
lieve that the day of peace is still
far off. It is pointed out that the
very fact that the government has
shown a disposition to concede cer-
tain things for iwhlch the rebels are
fighting has been an encouragement
to them to continue the campaign.
The government insists that the
change In the cabinet and reforms
contemplated have come not as de-
mands made hy armed men but In
response to a popular move for al-
tered conditions on . the part of
the public at large.
The revolutionists can not see it
In Just that light. They feel that
it is because of helr work in the
field and appear to think that re-
hellion will bring them all they are
after chief of whloh is the resig-
nation of the president and another
national ejection.
Reports from War Center.
Francisco Madero Sr. has stated
that he hopes to induce his rebel-
lious son to agree to terms of peace
and in this he is seconded by Gus-
tavo Madero the hrother but re-
ports brought from the seat of
war are that Francisco iMadero still
insists that there can be no peace
bo long as President Diaz remains
at the head of tke nation and it is
Francisco I. Madero who is leading
the fighting.
Juan Sanchez Azvotla one of the
revolutionary advisers has pointed
out that the elder Madero is not
exactly the one to determine the
terms of peace or method of arriv-
ing at a satisfactory' agreement;
that he has taken no active part
in the revolution. This statement of
'anchez Azcona coincides with one
le last week Minister Liman-
t who 6tated that ho had lit-
tle .f'ueuce with his son. That the
elder Madero would welcome peace
is doubtless true and so would a
large majority of the residents of
the capital but there is to be con-
sidered the administration determin-
ed not to yield and on the other
hand Francisco I. IMadero fighting
either patriotically or fanatically for
something the government cannot
grant without admitting defeat.
Little Change Lately.
So far as the war Itself is con-
cerned there has been little change
in the last five days. The rebels
are largely in control of the rural
districts in Chihuahua Sonora and
parts of Zacatecas while throughout
the country detachments of rebels
genuine bandits in some cases ap-
lear here and there. These smalle"
bodies of insurrectos report but in-
directly if they report at all to
Madero but they do nevertheless
keep a certain portion of the Mexi-
can army engaged so that iwhether
intentionally or not they serve to
aid the revolutionary cause.
So far as the larger towns are
concerned they are all yet in the
control of the government. That the
rebels might take one or two of
these is probable but that they could
hold them Is quite another thing.
They have no men to waste in gar-
risoning cities.
President's Message.
'Here In the capital great Interest
is being shown in the president's
message to congress which will be
read on the evening of April 1. It Is
reliably reported that it will he one
of the most remarkable documents
the president has ever sent to con
gress inasmuch as it will contain
recommendations for a revision of
the electoral laws a revision of the
system of taxation greater freedom
in state elections and a curtailment
In power of Jefe polltlcos.
Speculation as to Minister.
Lively speculation Js being indulg-
ed In as to the Identity of the Min
ister of Interior the only post now
vacant In the new cabinet. It still
appears probable that the post will
go to Teodoro Dehesa governor of
the state of Vera Cruz although a
man said to be considered is Env
Illo Pimilelte former governor of
Oaxaca. It is said the official an-
nouncement of the minister's ap-
pointment will be made cither to-
morrow or Sunday or preceding the
convening of congress.
Francisco Leon de la Karra Is ex-
pected here tomorrow. He will take
the oath of office as Minister of
Foreign Affairs at 12 o'clock.
KANSAS "CONFIDENCE" MAN.
Two
Farmers in Sunflower State
Bilked Out of $3580.
Kansas City Mo. March 30. Con-
fidence men bilked two farmers out
of a total of $3580 here today.
John Hennessey of near Leaven-
worth Kan. loaned $3500 to a nice-
ly dressed young man who said his
father owned a big ranch in Colo-
rado. The young man wanted to pay
a gambling debt coiirracted before
Hennessey's eyes matching dollam.
Hennessey was to get $6000 in re-
turn for his loan. The last Hennes-
sey saw of the stranger he was step-
ping into a downtown building to
see a friend. In order to raise the
money Hennessey gave his farm as
security.
Leon Phillips who owns a stock
farm near tMattoon 111. met at the
union depot a stranger who tearful-
ly told him the archaic story of a
dead brother and no money for bur-
ial expenses. (More than that the
stranger showed Phillips the very
box the corpse was in. The stran-
ger Is a poor judge of time. He bor-
rowed $S0 of PhlHlps said he would
be back in a minute and has not
returned.
Survey Work Started.
Fort Gibson Okla. March JO. The
work of surveying the proposed new
electric railway line between Fort
Gibson and Muskogee Is in prog-
ress. Fort - Gibson has given the
building company options on a large
amount of land and lots in the town.
When congress convenes next month
application will be made for the
privilege of building a bridge across
the Arkansas river.
It costs a heap to raise children
but it seems to cost about as much
not to.

VISITING TEACHERS
INSPECT SCHOOLS
SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
AT DAVIS AND TEACHERS ARE
PLEASED WITH OUR SCHOOLS.
It is seldom th the preacher
and the teacher ever have n op
portunity to observe the work being
done by others of their profession
for the reason that wthen others are
busy they are busy also. But Sunt.
Thomas 'Youngblood and his corps of
eleven teachers reversed things to-
day and dismissed their own schools
in the town of Davis and came lo
Ardmore to spend the day here vis-
iting the city schools. Supt. Evans
has devoted the day to the visiting
teachers and has taken them to all
tha schools of the city.
.Sunt. Youngblood said he has chos-
en to visit the Ardmore schools for
the reason that they have the rep-
utation of being the best schools in
the state. In the course of his re-
marks he said Davis was a city
of J.800 but that it had school build-
ings better than any in Ardmore.
"Your city has the best schools in
the state" he said "but not the best
equipments."
Suipt. Youngblood Is from a family
of teachers he Is a garduate of the
A. and 'M. College of Teras and is
one of the 'best educators in Okla-
homa. In speaking of his teacheis
he said there was never a better
corps of teachers anywhere than
his and that they work with har-
mony and everything was a unit in
his schools. The entire day . was
spent here inspecting and visiting
the schools.
This Is the second time this year
that other educators 'have visited
the city schools. The first visit was
from State Superintendent Wilson
and several of the leading college
men of the state.
Indian Lands Case Appealed.
An appeal has been taken to the
United States supreme court from
the decision of the Oklahoma supreme
court that Indian lands from which
restrictions had 'been removed were
taxable as other lands. The case
appealed Is the one brought by Bes-
sie Brown English against the coun-
ty treasurer of Tulsa county. In
which the appeal was perfected Tues-
day. The contention of the Indians is
that their lands are exempted froiu
taxation for twenty-one years under
the terms of the Atoka agreement be-
tween the government and the five
civilized tribe.

"Colonel White a great many ieo-
pie seem to think that the industrial
Company is disposed to be antago-
nistic to the Commercial Club and
to clear the atmosphere In this di-
rection I wish you would make a
statement in relation to the mat-
ter?" "I am very much surprised to hear
that there is any such feeling. Noth-
ing could be more foreign to the
facts. The Industrial Company is an-
tagonistic to nothing that makes for
the best interests of Ardmore; and
I wish to be thoroughly understood
as being a friend and booster for
our Commercial Club and every-
thing else that is laboring for tho
advancement of. the wommercial in-
terests of this city. No organization
can and is doing the work along this
line that our Commercial Club Is. If
you will refer to the officials of that
organization I think that they will
as emphatically state this as 1 do.
The Industrial Company is working
in another direction than the Com-
mercial Clab and in conjunction
with it in every way possible.
"The object and jwrposeg of the
Industrial Company is to handle cer-
tain meritorious properties surround-
ing the city placing the endorsement
of its one hundred business men be-
hind It and using every cent of the
profits derived ifrom the sale of these
properties for the establishment of
Industrial enterprises for the bene-
fit of the whole city. This is work
beyond the purvue of a commercial
organization and is as essential
when worked in conjunction with
the Commercial Club as can lie con-
ceived. "Please emiiuuttaal deny my
such theory. The Industrial Company
is not only enthusiastically in ac-
cord with the Commercial Club but
I believe the most of our stockhold-
ers are Individual mentbers of that
body of boosters and are doing all
In their power for the advancement
of the club's interest."
