Zapata and his officers the distribu

vicinity. This was reported in of

"Zapata soldiers, very meagcrly

iflicial messages daled late

Light.
The army of the north is en
camped in the suburbs, and no fur

occurred, fair order being maintained.
Thus far there has been no fric

cial Agent George C'arothers and
t:ome northern chiefs proceeded in
automobile to Cuernavaca. It is re
ported the matter of the entry of
northern forces and an understand
ing with them is to be determined..
"Orders have been issued by Villa
with reference to the occupation of
private property on the entry of the
troops. It is statd that private prop
erty will not be occupied without the
consent of the owners having previ
insly being given."
While the Mexican railroad east
from Mexico City suffered some
damage at the hands of CurrnnzSstns,
official dispatches say the British
owned railway system has been left
intact and restored to the company's
management.
The state department is informed

Business Men Will Sell
Papers For Xmas Cheer
Business men of Phoenix will sell pa
pers for charity on the Saturday before
Christmas, and thus obtain more money
for the demonstrations of the Christ
mas spirit that are always so promin
ent in Phoenix. This was decided yes
terday at a meeting of a few of the
boosters of the idea and an organiza
tion was perfected that- will go ahead
nnd make the plans sufficiently air
tight and at the same time attractive
ns to make the affair a success from
the very beginning.
The idea as explained by Dr. W. C.
Gillespie, who was elected chairman of
the movement, is to get the prominent
men and business hustlers of the city
to go to work on that Saturday morn
ing and sell copies of the Arizona Re
publican to ail and sundry getting any
amount the passer by will give for the
paper and then turning that money
into a general fund that will be dis
tributed in a manner to bring the most
good to the greatest number.

ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH
LONDON, Dec. 4, (Friday) A
Petrograd dispatch to the Morn
ing Post says: "The news that
the Russian troops have taken
Wieliczka, which is only three
miles from the outer fortifications
of Cracow, seems to indicate there
is something wrong with the de
fenses of that fortress, as Wiel
iczka should be well within the
range of the minor armaments
of the first class forts. Forty
prisoners, among others taken by
the Cossacks at Czenstochowa,
were found to be women in sol
diers' uniforms."
LONDON, Dec. 3 With a lull in
the battle in the west which had as
sumed the proportions of a heavy
cannonade at widely separated points
and with only occasional infantry
attacks, . interest is now . centered al
most entirely in the struggle in Po
land. At last the Russians have ap
proached within firing distance of
Cracow, their steady advance from
Przeniysl having proceeded without
any real check.
They are reported today to be
mounting heavy batteries around the
town of Wieliczka, which they occu
pied yesterday and from which the
outer forts of Cracow can be reached.
Important as is this for the fall of
Cracow would lay open the roads to
Vienna, Bieslau and Merlin the main
interest in the east continues to rest
with the operations on the irregular
front from Czenstochowa, through
Lodz and Lowicz to the east Prussian
border. Official pronouncements as
to the progress here are guarded and
indefinite and it is thus difficult to
arrive at a conclusion with regard
to the course of events.
It is apparent, however, a new bat
tle has developed to the southwest
of Lodz, where the Germans have
formed a new line with fresh forces
brought from Kalisz, and are again
trying to penetrate the Russian cen
ter. The Russians, ton, have had
time to straighten out their line and
!in the eyes of the allies another bat
tle following so closely that just
concluded in this region must help
them in the long run, for It Is
argued that win or lose, the Germans
must be further weakened, and in
addition will soon have to turn their
attention to the Russian offensive
against Silesia, around Cracow.
On the other hand, German experts
believe the defeat of the Russians
would enable the German generals to
unite all their forces for another
blow against the allies in the west.

fASBOCTATED PRESS DISPATCH
LONDON, Nov. 3. Col. E. I). Swin
ton, British official eye witness with
the English general staff, reviews the
situation in an official statement.
'There recently has been a lull in
active operations" he said. "No prog
ress has been made by either side yet
there hus been an important modifica
tion comprising a readjustment of the
part played by the British army.
In the movement from River Aisne
to the Relgian frontier to prolong the
left flank of the French armv the
British force was compelled to assume
the responsibility for an extended por
tion of the front.
"The British held one-twelfth of the
line so that the greater share of the
common task of opposing the enemy
fell to the French with the Belgians
playing an almost vital part."
Swinton says the Germans eventually
gathered north of La Basse about four
teen army corps nnd eight cavalry di
visions making a force of about 750 n""
men with whlih to drive the allies Into

ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH
WASHINGT N, Dec. 3. What of
ficials consider an exaggeration of the
admitted defects in the American
navy's torpedo equipment was the
subject of a statement by Secretary
Daniels embracing a special report
from Rear Admiral Strauss, chief of
the bureau of ordnance.
The statement that there are only
fifty-eight ipng range torpedoes,
made by Representative Gardner is
explained by showing there are not
yet any warships equipped to handle
this size which are too large for sub
marines. The sinking of the British warships
Aboukir, Cressy and Hogue was cited
as showing tiiey were torpedoed at
a range of SOo yards.
"The fifty-eight long range tor
pedoes often mentioned as the only
ones the navy possess." the ordnance
report says, ".ire the twenty-one inch,
twenty-one foot type and there is
no ship in the American navy equip
ped to use them. They wi re manu
factured for new constriction begin-
noma, wnicn win noi o mm uim i

manufactured abroad.
Long range torpedoes are neither
required nor desired for submarines,

acter that it is advisable to use short
range, high speed torjtedocs and that
class is being furnished our sub
marines." ENTHUSIASTIC OVER MONARCHS

lASSOOIATED l'UESS DISPATCH
NEW YORK, Dec. 3 Numerous
favorable developments imparted a
greater cheerfulness to the general
financial situation, liond trading on
the stock exchange was larger and
broader in the aggregate than at any
time since resumption, and greater
firmness was shown by the more sea
soned issues. Declines In some ob

two and one-half to almost six points.
More substantial advances included
the Rock Island, fours anil fives, New

'latter recovering nine and one-half
points of their mid-year spectacular

atter
The exchange's decision to issue
daily what amounts to an official
list of transactions in stocks also
stimulated confidence. Several active
stocks were added to the already long
list of securities which were in de
mand well above minimum prices.
Accepting, the new high price rc
orded by New York city sixes as a
criterion, there was increased inquiry
for almost all ciasses of short term
notes. The five million Swedish gov
ernment loan taken by a syndicate
promised every success, the high in
terest yield being attractive. There
were many rumors of further loans
to foreign governments by our bank
ers, but these were unconfirmed.
Money for shorter terms was obtain
able at lower rates and call loans
went at three and one half per cent.
The local flow of money indicated
that the" clearing house institutions
have lost a considerable sum to the
sub-treasury due largely to the heavy
payment of war tax, and the further
retirement of emergency currency.
London exchange was dull and
slightly easier. Additional railway

under the Moyer decision, famous as
the authorization under which Ad
jutant General Ball -controlled the
state in lf04, during the strike of
the Western Federation of Miners.
In effect that authorization suspend
ed the right of habeas corpus and
made Adjutant Chase the Judiieial
military arbiter in the strike dis
tricts. "That decision has done more to
demoralize society where these in
dustrial disputes arise than any oth
er agency," declared I'atterson. "I
think where you put the lives of a
community at the will of a mere sol
dier and suspend the operations of
the courts, that soldier is more than
human if he does not abuse it, I
think it the gravest mistake for any
governor to abdicate his power as a
commander-in-chief to a military of
ficer." Ho said after the order to the mi
litia had been changed, the troops
engaged in taking strike-breakers in
to the mines, arrests were made
withuut court proceedings and others
were arrested, among them Mother
Jones, and held incommunicado on
suspicion. The good feeling with
which the strikers had received the
militia at the time of their arrival
vanished under the change in the or
der and "some authority," he said,
"ordered the enlistment of 'gunmen'
mine guards and men under obliga
tions to the operators in the militia,
men who had absolutely no right in
the militia in any of the states.
About this time Ammons went east
and violence began at Ludlow. Of
that violence I know nothing. I do
not believe the entire tent city was
destroyed accidentally by fire. Twelve
children and some women were
burned I mean suffocated. They
were in a pit for protection. I can
not believe that any militiamen was
aware of the presence of these chil
dren in the pit. I want to exonerate
absolutely the militia and employes
of the company who filled up the
two batteries engaged in the incident
from any knowledge of that fact.
Denver and all Colorado was horri
fied by the tragedy. That afternoon
I called at the headquarters of the
State Federation of Labor. I found
at the headquarters representatives
of the unions in Denver making
speeches that showed a frenzied
state of mind. At the chamber of
commerce I found those senate mem
bers equally excited but upon the
other side. It was a clear exhibition
of class differences."
His next meeting with the governor
was after the governor's return, when
he was called upon to discuss with the
governor the call for an extra session
of congress. The governor, he found,
was absorbed in the problem of get
ting funds to support the militia and
measures to stay the sale of liquor
in the strike district.

CHICAGO, Dcr. S. Charged with
forfeiting the bond on which Carlton
Hudson Betts had been held in New
York twenty years ago, while accused
of forgery, Carlton Hudson, a wealthy
attorney and for many years an active
members of the Moody church, was
arrested at the request of the New

his identification as Betts, the bond
jumper of twenty years ago. The po
lice claim the identification is complete.
Hudson would make no statement.
Although he is reported to have pros
pered 'ind taken an important part in
numerous financial deals since coming
here, Hudson became best known
through a suit that he and others filed
recently naming Swift and Armour and
other Chicago packers as backers of
Louis Eihle, an attorney who organized
a cottonseed oil corporation.
On the strength of the commercial
rating given Eihle as promoter of
the company, Hudson and others
charged they had loaned the lawyer al
most $250,000. Unable to force pay

others named the packers as co-defendants
in the suit in hopes of recov

"I learned afterw-ard that part of

they had the power to force their de

trust to the uncertainty of a com

think the great majority of the em

pulsory arbitration, but the great cor

said, there had been such a body as

It succeeded in averting violence in

In the small mining property in

refused to submit to a decision of the

them?"
"Oh, you can't penalize them," re

me within the reach of the Btate."
