ELS SLIP
Are Moving Towards Casas
Grandes, From Which the
Federal Troops Came.
FEDERALS ARE NOW
ALONG THE CENTRAL
Now that the federals have been
transferred to the Mexican Central
from the Casas Grandes district, move
ment of the combined rebel forces into
he Casas Grandes district has begun.
Ranchmsn arriving today from the
Hanto Domingo ranch report that the
rebels were encamped Monday near
Carmen, midway between Gallego, on
the Mexican Central railway. and
Tt arson, on the Mexico North Western
railway. The rebels' location at Car
r. en is verified by an official govern
ment report. They say the forces
jmprise the groups under Caraveo,
.-alazar, Rojas and Porras, which re
Ofntly mobilized about Gellego, where
the passenger train was attacked last
wetk
This move by the rebels throws the
federal forces proceeding over the
Central by rail north from Chihuahua
,ty and Juarez in positions of lit
tle value for work against the rebels.
Gen. Jose de la Luz Blanco, who left Ju
arez last week remains in thevidntyof
Moctezurna, and so far has not de
trained any of his cavalry to pursue
tne rebels. The rebel move evidently
has been made on receipt of news that
"lanco had removed his force from the"
.orth Western line to escort the worlj
fain operating below Juarez.
By crossing to the North Western
railway, the rebels, whose combined
strength is estimated at more than
100. will have entered the territory
rast protected by federal troops. At
t'asas Grandes, which is admittedly
more desired than Juarez, are gar
risoned about 600 federals', while 3H
are stationed at Madera. At Guzman,
tc the north, are ISA men. while 168
cavalry are stationed at Ascencion,
off the railway near the Guzman
station.

Washington, D. C Dec. 11. W. S.
Pence, of Chicago; H. S. Stephenson, of
Los Angeles, and E. K. Warren, of i
Three Oaks, Mich., having interests in
Mexico,, have protested to the state
department ahout what they claim is the
practice of the United States in per
mitting exports of arms and ammuni
tion to the Madero soldiers in Mexico.
The three men recently appeared be
fore the senate committee headed by
senator William Alden Smith, inves
tigating whether the revolutions in
Mexico have been fomented or aided
by Americana.
The three men pointed out that the
effect of the application of such rules
forces the rebels to levy upon Amer
icans in Mexico by a system of forced
loans or ransoms to procure weapons
of war. They have urged upon the
state department that the only means
? iS-iKB irf S.i iy"iy was, lo r"urn
of arms and ammunition to both sides

It has been pointed out by state de
partment officials that under the re

PLENTY OF FUEL
OIL FOR EL PASO
Again the Standard Oil company is
planning to withdraw all of the crude
petroleum from the market to refine it
for gasoline to keep the automobile
going.
The reported withdrawal of the crude
product from the oil market, which
originated with the Iron Trade Review,
has come back in the form of a report
that the Standard had offered -the Santa
Fe railroad system a bonus of $190,000
for its present cirtontraci and also of
fered to convert tfte oil ourntng loco
motives into c-al burners free for the
railroad if it would relinquish the con
tract which it has with the Standard
for the delivery of crude oil on the en
tire system.
The withdrawing of crude oil by the
Standard company Is admitted by local
oil men. Inc'uding those who represent
companies closely affiliated with the
standard. The reasoj. for this lmpor-
that the demand for gaso
line and higher distillates is so much
greater than the present supply that
the companies, Including the Standard
and its subsidiary companies.-have been
unable to meet this demand.
Gasoline Is Array Up.
The result has been an increase In
the price of gasoline from 14 to lo
cents. Even with the increased price
or tne product, the acmand continues to
IncrA5u. until tile StAndarri has de-
aiier a series ui tuiimusuve inuuiaivry ,
experiments by the Standard's staff of
I chemists. In these tests it was demon-
strated. that a better price, could be
duct, even in large quan'ities.

The contract was a private one, made

With the withdrawal of oil in other

oil men say. One effect the changa
may have, however, will be to bring in
the Toyah and Dayton, N. M.. fields,
which have not yet been developed.
They are said to be high grade oil
fields and, with the increased demand
for refining oil, these fields may be

William P. Boland, of Scranton. Pa.,
the man charged bby Judge Archbald
with having organized a conspiracy
that resulted in Judge Archbald's Im
peachment and his present trial before
the senate, admitted on the witness
stand in the senate yesterday that he
had suggested the various steps by
which Judge Archbald was connected
with the deal for the Katydid refuse
coal dump, in order to "check up
Judge Archbald."
'T wanted to button up judge
Archbald," he said shaking his finger
at the accused jurist, who sat in front
of him.
I wanted to show he was the Kind
of a man he is.
These admissions were interspersed
with the vigorous denunciation of
juage Arcnoaia oy Jir. .duiu.hu
corrunt iudsre and charges that judge
Archbald had been "working for the
railroads." ,
An-iiTcra With Denunciation, j
Repeated demands were made by
judge Archbald's attorney that Mr.
Boland be required to "answer ques
tions directly, but, notwithstanding
cautions from senator Bacon, presid
ing, he embodied in his replies sweep
ing charges against judge Archbald
and frank admissions that he set out
to get hold of everything he could
that would help in "showing up" judge
Archbald.
The testimony of Boland centered
chiefly about the case of the Marion
Coal company, of which they were
chief owners, embraced in the second
article of Impeachment. Mr. Boland
said he believed judge Archbald had
used his influence to attempt to bring
about a settlement of a case between
the Marion Coal company and the
Lackawanna railroad.
Why Demurrer Was Overruled.
He admitted he had told attorney
general Wickersham and members cf
the interstate commerce commission
that he believed judge Archbald had
overruled the demurrer of tho Marlon
Coal company because Boland had re
fused to discount Judge Archbald's
note. When pressured for evidence to
prove this, he said he had been re
peatedly told by E. J. Williams, the
associate of judge Archbald in coal
land operations, that It would have
been "better for him" if he had dis
counted the note.
''JVhere did you get your informa
tion about Judge Archbald?" attornev
Worthington asked.
"Mr. Williams would tell me what
was going to happen and would tell
me of the influence behind judge
Archbald," Boland replied. "Then. I
began to check up the judge. I got
information from his associates as to
what he was doing for the railroads."
Tried to Use the Judge Himself.
"Did you send E. J. Williams to get
judge Archbald to write a letter to
W. A May, urging that they give Mr.
Williams an option on the Katydid
dump?"
"Yes, I did," Mr. Boland answered.
"Did you afterwards suggest to Wil
liams that he get judge Archbald to
go to New York to see Erie offi
cials"" 1 think I did," Boland replied.

Big Irrigation Project to
Aid Arizona Mining,' Too;
Birds on Wires
INTERFERE WITH
TRANSMISSION LINE
Phoenix. Ariz Dec 11. Contracts to'
supply the mining companies near Mi
ami and Magna with electric power on
terms that -will return to the project
hundreds of thousands of dollars an
nually, has been made by the United
States reclamation service for the Salt
river project
During the month announcements
have been made of great economic
importance to the entire project in con
nection with these power lines, for the
building of which surveys are now un
der way, and the remodeling of the
Roosevelt-Phoenix line that has been
in commission some time.
Experience has demonstrated that
the interference with the service on the
Boosevelt-Phoenix line has resulted
mainly from the perching of large birds
on the poles, which, by extending their
wings until they touched two wires,
have short circuited and burned out
the line. It has been decided to re
model the line by elevating the pres
ent poles, or towers, somewhat, and
attaching the wires by "suspension" in
sulation. The towers and crossarms
will then be above the wires so birds
perched thereon cannot reach them, nor
can they, stttin on . one wire, reach
another.
This remodeling will cost considera
ble money, but it will also- make neces
sary about one-third of the towers now
in use. The Miami and Magna line3
are to be built by the purchasers of
the power and not at the expense of
the project. The- towers to be dis
carded by the Roosevelt-Phoenix line
will be utilized in the construction of
the new lines and the project reim
bursed to the extent of their, value.
It is estimated that the salvage thus
secured will just about offset the ex
pense of remodeling the Roosevelt
Phoenix lino which will then be
equipped in the most up to date man
ner and better service assured.

WITNESS HELD
ON PERJURY
Detroit Man Denies Author
ship of Letter in Dynamite
Conspiracy Case.
FAILS TO GIVE BOND
AND IS SENT TO JAIL
Indianapolis, Ind., Dec 11. William
H. Quigley. of Detroit business agent
of the Carpenters' union, was today
held to the federal grand jury on the
charge of perjury as a witness In the
"dynamite conspiracy" trial He was
taken into custody by a deputy United
States' marshal, and on failure to give
bond was taken to JaiL
The charges developed over a, letter
alleged to refer to proposed explosions
at Detroit in 1910. The letter, which,
the government stated was procured at
Detroit was stated to have been writ
ten by Quigley. Herbert Wood, s,
handwriting expert testified the letter
was In Quigley's handwriting. Quigley
took the stand and said the handwriting-was
not his and that the signature
was a forgery. District attorney Mil
ler refused to dismiss Quigley, whose
arrest followed.
The letter was addressed to Hiram
Cline, of Munice, Ind., national organ
izer for the Carpenters' union, and
stated that proposed Detroit explosions,
which local officials of the Carpenters.
Machinists and Iron Workers' unions
were alleged Jointly to have plotted,
had been called off. because Charles
Wachtmelster, an iron worker, had.
"talked too much."
Another Defendant on Stand.
As the 14th of the 41 defendants
appear in his own behalf. Michael J.
Cunnane, a Philadelphia official of the
International Association of Bridga
and Structural Iron Workers, testified.
He asserted he had been associated
with J. "J. McNamara, president Frank;
M. Ryan and other officials of the
union but he never had discussed with
them any plans for the use of violence
or dynamite jobs.
"Before McNamara was taken to
Los Angeles had you any knowledge
that dynamite or nitroglycerin was
used on non-union jobs?" asked William
A. Gray, counsel for Cunnane
"Never, heard of it till McNamara'a
arrest"
Cunnane said his appearance before
the International union's executive
board was not to "discuss dynamiting,
but in connection with proposed "local
option" for the Philadelphia union so
the members might work for con
tractors who maintained union shops
locally regardless of the strike
Deny Plot at Detroit.
Testimony bv Robert G. M. Ross that
offletels of various trades union tn De
troit in June, 1910, formed a plot to
cause a "series of explosions 1b that
city against noa-union -fobs was dis
puted by other witneeees-
Ross also said that Charles Wacht
melster, business agent for the iron
workers' union, received $100 from the
.carpenters' . union toward the' expense.
but that explosions were postooned be
cause Wachtmelster "taiked too much."
Several other witnesses who said
they were present at the meeting re
ferred to by Ross, denied Ross's testi
mony that the union officials met be
cause they "were frightened."
"Ross came to that meetintr and we
asked him why he had been circulating
reports that we were going to be ar
rested?" William H. Quigley said.
"He apologised. He said he was a
sheet metal worker and we asked him
how he was making a living. He de
clared a congressman was paying him
to do political work."
Wachtmelster testified he never had
received 575 as a part of a fund to pay
for explosions, and he never had a
"black eve." as It was said he re
ceived for "talking too much." He said
he and Hockin had visited a non-union,
job in an effort to have It unionized,
but he knew nothing of exnlosions.
"Did you ever hear of Hockin beinff
arrested in connection with an explo
sion in Detroit in June 1997?" asked
district attorney Miller.
"I never heard 'of it" Wachtmeistec
replied.
