This, it is said, would raise he value of the Carranza bank note from four cents geld to 45 and 30 cents gold, as during the Diaz regime. Favors Silver Basis. A representative of the Mexican treasury department stated on Satur day that the best standard for a coun try coming out of revolutionary trou ble was silver and that in the reor ganization of Mexico economically, the silver standard would remain in power.

Rlcardo Magon, according to the offi cers, also resisted, but was quickly overpowered. While the fighting was en. six Mexican printers and a mixed crowd of about 15 men and women lushed in and sought to prevent them from taking the Magon brothers away. They wore covered by a display of fire arms. Slagons Convicted Id 1312. The Magon brothers were convicted In the United States district court hero in July, 1911, on charges of violating the neutrality laws In fomenting a rev- uiuuuii m ijwer uauiornia. on that conviction they were sentenced to terms of 13 months each on McNeil's Island.

Prior to their arrest here In 1911, the Magon brothers are said to have served sentences ln the Arizona state peni tentiary at Florence in connection with their revolutionary propaganda.

The engineer replied. There are no Americans on the train" Puzzled at this information Villa is said to have ridden below Laguna with his men and there waited for four and a half hours. The explanation of the delay In the arrival of the two merl- j cans was that they had left on a freight nam preceding the departure or the passenger bearing Ornelas. and the freighter was passed by the passenger train at Moctezumi. Chihuahua Fears Hump. When the freight train bearing the two American business men arrived at Lagivna the train crew discovered that the Carranza garrison at Laguna had boarded the Ornelas train and gone into Chihuahua. Telegraph advice was asked by the crew as to whether or not they were to come on into Chi huahua, and the Chihuahua garrison commander, fearing that it was Villa himself who was resorting to this ruse to enter Chihuahua, replied "Side track at Laguna to make way for train northbound and come In tomorrow" It was this delay at laguna that saved the lives of two Americans, so stated the Mexican passengers The In cident happened on January ol RELEASE HIDES Shipment Made By Carran za Government Permitted to Go to New York. The two carloads of hides sold by Mexican officials in Chihuahua to the FInnegan-Brown company, of New York, and detained at the local custom house for several days because it was alleged 80 percent of the hides shqwed brands that belonged to Americans and persons residing on the American side who had not been a party to the killing I or tne stock 01 sale or tne niaes, were released Friday afternoon, and began their Journey to New York city. In releasing the hides, the local cus tom authorities stated that all ship- m.nti frnm V.rlcft rtnmtncr Intn h stateB under similar conditions, will be ! neia up for investigation. The delay in shipment was the result of a request from W. Harrell, secretary of the Pan handle and Southwestern Stockmen's association, upon the custom officials. Mr. Harrell took the position that a writ of injunction might be secured and the hides tied up pending federal court proceedings Several decisions from the higher courts were studied bearing upon tho title to possession of the hides and when these were found to be adverse, the request for further holding of the hides was withdrawn. It is understood, however, that suit mav be instituted by the respective i owners 01 me niaes against tne import ing company, but this action would be civil. Third Car of Hidm. A third carload of hides, many of which are said to bear the brands of ranches owned by Americans, was brought over Saturday. Customs col lector Cobb said Saturday morning that the car would be held until Monday, so that stocl men interested could have an opportunity to inspect tho ship ment A renresentatlva of one nr the larve i cattle companies controled by Ameri can interests said Saturday: The original shipment from Chi huahua consisted of three cars. The I iirst two cars to cross had few Ameri can branded hides in it. The last will have more.

The large manufacturers taking advantage of the ready sale for machines, however, have struggled for quantity rather than quality in manufacture, and have contented themselves with stimulating the de mand by lavish advertising. The Sonora has been made in accordance with certain ideals, and may justly claim to be "The Instrument of Quality Clear as a Bell" Here are certain features in which Sonora ' PRICE $22b- Selected la Preferenc When Heard la Comparison'' as is stated in the trade mark, phonographs excel all others. Tone Quality Is of the first importance, yet the Sonora was the instrument lo be given the high est and only perfect score for tone quality at the Panama-Pacific Exposition, and the only one to receive an award for this feature thus defi nitely establishing the Soaora as superior to all others in this most important particular. Universal Playing by which the Sonora plays all makes of disc records, diamond, sapphire, steel needle, etc., perfectly, was first introduced by the Sonora, and Sonoras are still far in the lead in this respect. 77ie Automatic Slop on machines costing $100.00 and over is a very desirable feature. It is simple to operate, and the mechanism (which also in cludes the Automatic Starter) is thoroughly reliable. The Envelope Fding System of the Sonora is re markable in its simplicity and nearness. Tone Control, first used on the Sonora, by which the music may swell and die away at will, is a fascinating and exclusive feature: this control over the expression adding greatly to the pleasure of the listener. The method by which the sound is controlled at its source (and not merely muffled) is a patented one. Cabinet Work and Design. The beautiful flow ing lines of the cabinels speak for themselves. The quality pf workmanship is comparable with that expended on the making of violins or other musical instruments. They are finished on all sides, permitting them lo stand out in the room. The Motor runs nearly twice as long as any other made at the same price. The Sound Box, Iic the motor, is made in Switzer land, which has been for generations the true home of music and musical instruments. The pleasure and satisfaction to be gotten from a Sonora, however, rests m no one of these things, but in the perfection with which they are all assembled, and the manner in which each plays its part in making of the Sonora.
