10,000 REBEL
PLGH ON AFTES
BIG VIGTORY
g By JOHN W ROBERTS.
ZACATECAS, MEXICO, June 26.—
With 20,000 Constitutionalist soldiers
rushing to Aguas Calientes to com
plete the work begun by the capture
of Zacatecas, General Villa to-day
bent his efforts to the establishment
of a new governmental system here
and removing traces of the recent
battle in which General Medina Bar
ron’s Federals were overwhelmingly
defeated.
Three hundred rebel soldiers were
detalled to gather up the bodies of
thie slain Federals. They were piled
into vast heaps, oil poured on them
and ignited Smoke of these funeral
pyres could be seen in a dozen differ
ent sections of the city. ‘
First estimates of 6,000 Killed may.
prove too large, but officers in charge |
of the work insist that it is not far
wrong. On some of the hills which
guard the northern entrance to the‘
¢ity, and inthe canyon through which
the railroad enters the city, great
heaps and rows of dead Governmentl
soldiers were found, slain by the reb
els’ machine guns. 1
Buildings Leveled by Rebels. |
Zacatecas, the eagle city, has been
the scene of battle in many revolu
tions, but never has it suffered the
damage such as that wrgught by the
guns of General Villa. Row after row
of buildings were leveled by the
shells of the Constitutionalist gun
ners.
With the city in his control, Villa
took no time for rest. He has prob
ably had no more than five hours’
sleep since the city was captured.
He dashes from point to point in
the city, at one moment giving di
rectiong for the dispatch of troops to
Aguas Calientes, at another ordering
the distribution of food to women and
children made homeless by the fire
of his guns and at another settling a
minor dispute that may have arisen.
“This is the beginning of Huerta's
end,” he declared to-day. “Within a
month we shall be in Mexico City.
The hirelings of the assassin of Ma
dero can not stop our progress.”
The cars which the Federals had
filled with supplies when they pre
pared to evacuate the city were sent
to-day to Aguas Calientes to help
the Constitutionalists there. They will
be of vast benefit to the Rebels and
materially facilitate their campaign.
General Trinidad Rodriguez, the
(Constitutionalist leader who died yes
terday from wounds received on Tues
day, lay in state to-day in the Gov
ernment palace, with rebel sentries at
the head and foot of his bler. The
body of General Antonio Rojas, leader
of the Federal irregulars, was burned
in a funeral pyre in the southern sec
tion of the city.
Mediators merse
As Rebels ve.
By LAURENCE TOD.
MEDIATION HEADQUARTERS,
Niagara Falls, Ont, June 28.—Thu
arrival at Buffalo of the Constitution
alist Delegates Luis Cabrera and
Rafael Zuzaran, to discuss terms of
peace with the Huertistas, is now
scheduted for Saturday night or Sun
day.
The American delegates and the
Argentine envoy, Dr. Naon, are con
fident that Cabrera will keep his
agreement made in Washington to
bring about a peaceful settlement of
Mexico's civil war. All sides waited
to-day for word from the Constitu
tionalists that Cabrera would be up
held in his promise.
Interest in the mediation confer
ences has died out. Ambassador Da
Gama, of Brazil, has gone to Long
Branch, N. J, where he has a sum
mer home. Minister Suarez, of Chile,
will leave late to-day or to-morrow
for Washington. Both men will re
main subject to call from Dr. Naon,
who will remain here to watch the
peace parleys between the two Mexi
can factions. The two mediators
'will come back whenever their serv
jces are wantde. It is an open se
cret, however, that they don't believe
that a provisional government will be
estahlished in Mexico until the reb
els enter Mexico City.

Probers on Trail of
Lorimer Cash Lent
To Senator in Fight
CHICAGO, June 25.—District Attor
rey Wilkerson, who is investigating
the banking methods of the officers of
the closed LaSalle Street Trust and
Savings Bank, the Lorimer institu
tion, prior to its liquidation from a
national to a State bank in 1912, to
day turned his attention to a loan of
$40,000 alleged to have been made by
the former United States Senator to
ex-Senator Thomas H. Paynter, of
Kentucky.
National Bank Examiner Owen T.
Reeves, Jr., was said to have discov
ered the loan which was alleged to
have been made at a time when the
fight over Lorimer’'s seat in the Sen
ate was at its height, and was said to
have made a report of it to Wash
ington. At the time the bank was
changed to a State institution, only
$lO,OOO of the loan had been repaid,
according to “insiders.” Whether the
remaining $30,000 has been repaid is
now the subject of Federal inquiry.
In the committee and on the Sen
ate floor Paynter voted to exonerate
the Illinoisan.

VOTE ON LIQUOR
BiLL I 3 DODGED
BY GONGRESS
W ASHINGTON, June 26.—The
Shepherd- Hobson bill, prohibiting the
manufacture, sale or importation of
liquors in the United Statesrby con
stitutional amendment, will not be
considered at this session of Con
gress. Representative William A,
Ashbrook, of Ohio, a Democratic lead
er in the House, has announced that
he has the signatures of a majority
of House Democrats to a petition
which he has been circulating asking
the House Rules Committee to bring
in no further reports for the consid
eration of general legislation at this
session, except on the seaman’s and
workingmen's compensation bills.
A petition similar in substance has
been signed by the majority of the
Republicans. 4
The turn that the agitation started.
by the whisky men to force a vote
at this session on prohibition has
taken is regarded peculiarly satisfac
tory to both sides. Having started
the movement to secure a vote on the
Shepherd-Hobson proposal at this
gession of Congress, with a view of_
killing it because the temperance peo
ple lacked the constitutional two
thirds in both Houses of the Con
gress, the whisky people found a
boomerang.
The movement aroused the tem
perance people of the nation. Peti
tions, letters and telegrams were
pouring in from every quarter to
members of Congress. They were
loading down the record. Seizing the
opportunity, the temperance people
had become unusually active and
would have mustered a majority of
votes in the House, but not two
thirds. i
Again, the amendment was being
made the issue over the country and
threatened defeat for members who
were advocates of either side. There
fore, expediency was sacrificd to
principle and the Ashbrook petition
was eagerly signed.
This leaves to be considered by the
House at this session four conserva
tion bills, the Moon posteffice bill and
the seamen’s and work&zmen'fi com
pensation bills yet to reported by
the Rules Committee. It fixes possi
bility of adjournment at August 15,
3ut with September 1 the most likely
