RESTS IN GOMEZ PALACIO. S]
a
After Hard Fighting Villa is in Sight **
of Goal.
m
el
Gomez Palacio, Mexico, March 27.
C(
?Four days of fighting, including ^
three desperate assaults by the rebels,
were crowned to-day with success
when Gen. Francisco Villa mov- .
ol
ed into Gomez Paiacio and establish- ?
ed his headquarters on that side of
the town looking toward Torreon,
and within three miles of that great ^
goal of the campaign. aj
The final and deciding assault was
delivered yesterday. It was preceded
by a bombardment, after which the ^
v infantry and cavalry dashed into the
streets.
Rifles, machetes, pistols and hand
grenades were used in a hundred different
encounters in the narrow thoroughfares.
The grenades, of home j
manufacture, were lighted by cigarettes,
an unofficial part of the equipment
of every Mexican soldier.
f m
Rebel Loss Heavy. a]
Gen. Villa does not know his own b;
loss, except that it was heavy. The si
wounded suffered terribly from thirst st
and many died for lack of water and
surgical attention. The dead of both r?
sides were mingled in streets or found ai
huddled under adobe houses or cor- rt
rals wrecked by rebel shells. m
Veterans say no more furious bat- tl
tie ever was fought in Mexico. m
Gen. Villa did not stop to mourn d<
bis losses, but with characteristic A
energy began preparations to move cc
on Torreon. He expects to co-operate th
with four hundred men under Gen. fc
Herrera, who is under orders to at- bj
' tack the town from the east.
Newspaper correspondents were
-permitted to enter the city with Vil- si
la. Everywhere rebel soldiers were ui
rescuing the injured and taking them h<
to the railroad on improvised stretch- fr
krs. e
.
Even Wounded Serve. f
The day was hot and redolent of n<
stale blood. Those with flesh wounds 5
disdained to desert, and soldiers,
limping from a wound in the leg or with
one arm supported in a bfood- t!
stained bandage, were among the 6S
stretcher bearers. t
tr -i:
Villa's first assault in (force took 11
- > - place four days ago. There was com- L
parativelv a small number of Fed- m
erals in the city, and premature reports
of victory were sent out. Soon,
however, the Federals received reinforcements
and Gen. Villa withdrew
p]
after hard fighting. ^
The next day, Wednesday, Gen. ^
Angeles, artillery commander, shelled
e<
the city all day and part of the night,
v o!
v Villa had learned that the Federal
commander. Gen. Valesco. was con- ,
iii
centrated in force in the town and .
is
himself was m the trenches inspiring
his men, and the rebel leader ^
under cover of {he bombardment con
centrated every avanaDie man ior a
p<
fresh assault. ^
This was delivered Wednesdav
as
night, but it was not decisive, although
the rebels held the stone j
roundhouse and a few other natural
defences in the outskirts of the city. '
18 Boxes Sardines at One Sitting.
Atlanta, March 28.?The Georgia
record of the negro who ate nineteen C
hard-boiled eggs and died, has been
laid in the shade, and with all other
Gargantuan trencher records in d
this section. n
Chick Culberson, a Hogansville h
negro, has eaten eighteen boxes of d
sardines, oil. tails and all?and is It
alive and well. w
The negro walked into a store tl
and offered to bet that he could eat a
a dozen boxes. This proposition was M
that if he ate all twelve the store si
keeper would pay for them, but that c:
if he couldn't finish the dozen, he li
would pay for what he did eat. d

Then he went to sleep like a boa o

BROADSIDE FIRED BY CLARK.
piloses Rule t<? Limit liebate on
Tolls Question.
Washington, March 2R.?The ,
eatest legislative battle yet under,ken
by President Wilson's adminisation
was begun to-day with the
esentation of a special rule in the
Duse to limit debate and prohibit
nendment for the administration's
:*oposal to repeal the provision of
te Panama Canal Act allowing free
rr/-I \ nianVan cVlinc
IU .unci ituu w-?.?
For two hours the rule alternatewas
defended and attacked in heat1
debate in the house. When admrnment
came, with an hour of
sbate on the rule left for to-mor>w,
Speaker Champ Clark, who heme
had not announced his position
i the repeal policy, issued a stateent
vigorously opposing the rule.
"Surely there is nothing sacred
Dout this repeal bill, and there is no
?ason for this mad rush," said the
peaker's statement. "I will not be
party to ramming such a rule down
le throats of members."
Impressed with the importance of a
easure which President Wilson has
laracterized as necessary to the
mduct of his administration's
>reign policy, an extraordinary atsndance
of members was on the floor
hen the rule was presented. Throngs
I spectators filled the seats in the
alleries, occupied the stairways and
/erflowed into the corridors. The
)ectators came when the house met
: 11 o'clock to-day and waited hour
iter hour, as routine business de.yed
the tolls bill and the nervous
msion on the floor grew more and
ore tense.
The Rule Presented.
The legislative way finally was
eared and at 4 o'clock Representave
Henry, chairman of the rules
mimtftee, presented the rule, limitig
debate on the Sims bill to twenty
aurs and precluding amendment, ex^

it. Brief argument brought about
a agreement for three hours of deite
on the rule and the preliminary
iirmish of .the greatest legislative
ruggle of a decade was on.
The house silently attentive, Repisentative
Henry explained the rule,
id launched into a defence of the
jpeal bill. Then followed an arguent,
in which the rule received lite
attention, as compared with the
erits of the measure; and the presimt's
foreign policy, the right of the
merican government to exercise
>ntrol of the canal it has built and
le economic advisability of free toll6 "
>r American ships were dragged
ick and forth in the discussion.
No Moral Right. 4
The president's adherents who
>oke, all democrats, declared that
ader the treaty the United States
id no moral right to pass its ships
ee. His opponents, republicans
iri nrnsrpssivps. attacked the foreign
'^ r- vo- ??- ?? ?
Dlicy of the administration and deDunced
the proposed repeal as an
ibject surrender to Great Britain."
Throughout the discussion Majori
Leader Underwood, for the first
me opposing the administration,
Lt quietly in his seat, listening atntively
to the argument. Repubcan
Leader Mann and Progressive
eader Murdoch both made arguents
against the rule and the bill.

but proved a great advantage since it enabled us to procure

some novelties ana new snapes in nais wnicn were nui uiuugm
out early.
We got ready for our opening in one week, a good record
for Miss Barker we think, and proof that she does not mind
work. We made a creditable showing of up-to-date and classy
styles in trimmed hats, at prices so low that we sold nearly every
hat we displayed.
This week, in preparation for Easter, we will open a lot of

new shapes in hats, new flowers in small effects in wreaths and
stick ups, and we ask the ladies to call and inspect these goods
which we will mark at very reasonable figures. )
