BILL POSTERS MEET.
Officers Elected for Ensuing Year
and Tulsa Chosen for Next
Convention.
The eighth annual meeting of th
Oklahoma Bill Posters Association,
which met here Tuesday, adjourned
after the annual election of officers
ar.d naming delegates to the na-
tional convention and selecting Tul-
sa as the place for holding the next
state meeting, the time to be named

In contrast in another part of the
little town is Francisco I. Madero, Jr.

"and staff officers. Joyous exultant
and flushed with victory, yet ready to
make peace, they say with the Mexi-
can government" if it is disposed to
deal frankly and sincerely with the
revolutionists and without such vague
promises as President Diaz s mani-
festo contains."
In hotel lobbies, store fronts and
hallways the improvised hospital of
the battle field are scores of wounded
attended by a host of physicians and
nurses from El Paso who have volun-
teered medical relief. The floors of
the Porfirio Diaz hotel where 30
wounded lay groaning tonight are
covered with b'ood and gore-soaked
clothing. All the dead are being bur-
ied tonight.
A conservative estimate of physic-
ians as well as leaders who surveyed
the fighting puts the federal dead at
nearly 50 and ths rebel loss at 15
with a total of nearly 250 wounded
on both sides. The rebel number loss
probably will never bo known as de-
serters were many and the dead have
been buried quickly.

A resolution asking the Governor
to call a special session of the leg-

the constitution, plans for a cam-

action looking to the installation
of gasoline motor cars to the near-

out of Enid were the results of two
sessions of the board of uTrectors of
the chamber of commerce.
