JUAREZ FEARS AN ATTACK BY RSBELS (Continued from page 1.) the "pickings" in Juarez would be very good just now for the rebels and many people in the border city believe that the third annual attack is about to be pulled off. Each year, for the past two years, the city has been taken by rebels about this time. Jnarei Troops Bniry. The few trooDs left in Juarnz are busy patroling east and west of the border town, although no fear of a rebel attack is admitted officially. As there are no cavalry in Juarez, the in fantry makes hikes along the river roads on both sides. All of the 260 odd men of the Juarez garrison are unmounted. The 100 mounted federal volunteers organized by Qen. Aubert were sent south with Gen. Blanco and never returned. j ZSo Guard On Central. The troop guard has been removed from the Mexican Central, for some unexplained reason, preventing any further attempts to Tepalr the road below Juarez. A worK train went out over the Mexico North Western to day, although the Central is the least torn up between Juarez and Chihuahua. All communication on either road re mains cut, and the commercial tele graph is not operating. No rebels are reported along either railway farther north than Samalayuca, on the Cen tral, to -which point the wires are working, and Sapello, on the North Western. It is denied at Juarez that any rebels have been at the Flores ranch. It was said that federal troops have daily visited that ranch. Big Cannon Destroyed! In the battle Sunday at Villa Ahu mada the rebels succeeded in destroy ing the big cannon "El Nino," says a late report. Fearing that federal re inforcements would arrive while they were attacking the town, the rebels placed a shot of dynamite under the tracksa shorty distance to the south. As expected, the big ship's cannon was pushed ahead of the engine as the 23d infantry train arrived. The dynamite exploded and wrecTced the flat car on which the cannon was carried, break ing the base of the piece. The re mainder of the train, however, was not wrecked. flEDISTI coici IETI1B THE mm One Measure Puts El Paso in 15th District; the Oth ers in the 17th. (Continued from pago I.)

There is now pending in both branch es of the legislature a bill which is di rected against wholesale liquor dealers, who it is claimed are now escaping the payment of taxes under the gross re ceipts tax law. The bill has been in troduced in the house by representa tives Sullivan and Grindstaff and in the senate by senator Darwin. The pro posed measure seeks to impose a tax on .7holesalers who ship liquor direct U the consumer in prohibition districts. The law now on this subject is defect ive, in that it merely imposes a tax on the wholesaler when he sells to a re tailer, but there is no tax provided on the gross receipts when the liquor 's sold direct to the consumer. Senator Darwin figures out that the state will derive not less than ?120,000 a year in revenue from this "law should it pass. Mr. Sullivan also entertains the same views about this measure. "Blue Sky" Measure. In accordance with tbe recomenda tions of the governor there will be in troduced in both branches of the leg islature a "blue sky law" bill. Repre sentative Roger Byrne, of Bastrop ccunty, is the author of the bill in the reuse, while senator Darwin, of Delta ccunty, is the author of the measure in the senate. When the bill is presented it will have the approval of the attor ney general's department. Senator Darwin says the bill will be very strin gent and patterned after the Kansas law on this subject. It will provide that all companies organized for the purpose of selling stock shall be placed under the supervision of the state de partment of insurance and banking. Cne of the main features is that It lim its the commissions to be paid the pro moters to 10 percent, and anyone who recommends the purchase of stock in such a corporation is held liable, if the stock is not what it is represented to be. The bill seeks to place all corpora tions chartered under the laws of an other state under the jurisdiction of the commissioner of insurance and banking. ADS BY MIOJfE.

TROUBLE FEARED AROUND VERACRUZ ASHINGTON, D. C, Jan. 22. Two American warships are now en route to Mexican ports to give protection to Americans. The Denver left San Diego last Monday for Acapulco, and as a result of the alarm aroused yesterday for the safety vof Americans at "Veracruz, the gunboat Wheeling is now steaming from Tampa, Pla., for Veracruz. At that place, Americans are said to face a graver crisis than that relieved by the cruiser jjes Moines at the time of tne Diaz up rising last October. The request from the state depart ment to the navy came after the receipt of a long series of official reports from ambassador Henry Lane Wilson and consuls in southern Mexican cities, all reflecting a condition of anarchy, especially in the state of Veracruz, where federal authorities face the problem of restoring civil order with a disorganized and divided army.. Gue rilla warfare, brigandage, sacking of ranches and villages and other desper ate crimes place Americans and other foreignresidents in a state of constant danger and the latest advices to the state department express fear of a' worse outbreak. Americans to Be Taken Aboard. When the Wheeling arrives in Vera cruz harbor, Americans and other for eigners will be taken aboard and offi cials express the hope that the sight of her guns may have the same moral effect that followed the arrival of the Des Moines a few months ago. This latest action by the state de partment indicates that the adminis tration's policy of non-intervention will be adhered to to the close of president Taffs term of office. While the prefeent administration will endeavor to take no action -which will embarrass the suc ceeding regime, it is taken for granted that aggressive action will be resorted to if disturbed conditions menace the safety of American citizens. Mexico Expects Trouble. Veracruz, Mex, Jan. 22. Military ac tivity at Veracruz and surrounding dis tricts would seem to indicate that an attack by the rebels is expected, al though everything at the present time is quiet. The revolutionary general, Aguilar. is in the mountains back of Cordoba, The possibility that almost anything may happen is not overlooked by Mexicans in general. The arrival of an American warship here, it is said, wilt be a big surprise. Supporters of Felix Diaz, the leader of the recent uprising, have asked that he be given proper protection, as they fear that illegal action may be taken against him. of the Greater Rans Mit 'Em 'Shoe Sale Our sale will close Saturday, Jan'y 25th and therefore you have just 3 days left to buy the biggest bargains of real mrit you will ever get in the shoe line.

Peter Skousen, who left here several days ago, has been delayed on his trip because his horses ran away. He leaves Columbus today.

IDENTIFYING DEAD BODIES BY POSTING THE PICTURES The Juarez police cave instituted a i.ew method of identifying bodies. Re cently a number of unidentified bodies have been discovered in the Mexican town, although all seem to have been caused by natural death. Clear pho tographs are made, and pasted on of ficial paper with a description of -the clothing, etc. . These placards are posted in certain prominent places In the town.

Berlin, Germany, Jan. 22. The re ported willingness of Turkey to giTe up the fortress of Adrianople and to make peace on that basis is received here with skepticism. The belief prevails that Turkey's reply to the note of the powers will show only an inclination to meet the wishes of Europe so as to pave the way for further negotiations. The Turkish embassy here also regards as improbable the report that Turkey is willing to cede Adrianople. AUSTRIA IS OPTIMISTIC OYBR PEACE IN BALKANS. Vienna, Austria, Jan. 22.
