Battle Fought With Rebellious
Moros on Jolo, One of the
Philippine Islands, on Wed
nesday
(By Associated Press. 1
MANILA, June 12.—-The entrench
ments of the rebellious Mores under the
sultan of Jolo at Bagzag were taken by
the American forces today after a fierce
battle In which the American casual
ties were six killed and twelve wound
ed. v
The killed were two privates of Com
pany M, eighth United States infantry,
three members of the fifty-first company
of scouts and one member of the twenty-
ninth company of scouts. Lieutenant
Edwin H. Rackley was wounded in the
leg.
The casualties are regarded as light
in view of the stubborn resistance put
up by the Moros.
The attacking forces had been made
up unusually strong as a precaution,
there being in addition to the company
of regular infantry, a troop of cavalry,
seven companies of scouts, two com
panies of constabulary with a battery
of four mountain guns and a machine
gun platoon.
Although there remains one point still
occupied in the mountain the mountain
guns will be in a position to shell it
.easily. Brigadier Qeneral John G. Per
shing, commander of the department of
Mindians, who led the forces, declares
he will continue operations in Jolo until
the tribesmen’s guns have been taken
and the island is peaceful.
General Wood Wires for
Immediate Report of Fight
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, June 12.—General
Wood has cabled to Major General
Bell, commanding the Philippine divis
ion, for an immediate report upon the
operations Brigadier General Pershing
is conducting against the Moros in
Jolo archipelago.
The war department knows nothing
of the details of the operations. The
distance from Zamboang&, the Jolo cap
ital, to Manila is so great and com
munications so uncertain that reports
from the scene are very meager.

“Yes," Says Colonel’s Aide,
“He’ll Leave This Fall"
(By Associated Press.)

the report that the colonel contemplates
a trip to Argentina, but added that the
details had not been settled. Present
plans call for his departure this fall.
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON. Julie 12.—A search
ing investigation into financial opera
tions of the St. Louis and San Francisco
railroad system, in response to a reso
lution of the senate, is to be under
taken by the interstate commerce com
mission at once.
The inquiry will go deeply into rela
tions of the Frisco lines with the Chi
cago, Rock Island and Pacific; lay bare
inside facts concerning the purchase of
the Chicago and Eastern Illinois and
develop those pertaining to leases by
the Frisco of subsidiary roads.
The resolution directing the inquiry
was introduced by Senator Kenyon and
passed by the senate Tuesday. Prior to
this*the commission had under consid
eration the 'matter of instituting an
inquiry on its own initiative. Its au
thority so to do was unquestioned, but
in view of litigation over the receiver
ship of the Frisco lines and the di*sin-
clination of the commission to inject it
self voluntarily into a situation that
already was in the hands of the courts,
it was deemed wiser to await affirms*
tive direction by either the senate or
the house, or both.
Immediately upon receipt of official
notice of the passage of the Kenyon
resolution, the commission set its ma
chinery in motion. Preliminary work
was begun yesterday in New York by
agents of the division of carriers’ ac
counts acting by direction of Commis
sioner Harlan, who is In charge of that
branch o fthe commissoin’s work.
The inquiry will deal >with all opera
tions of the Frisco lines since the re
organization of the system in 1896.
That will include its relations with the
Rock Island; its purchase of the Chica
go and Eastern Illinois, with what are
regarded as the “peculiar” phases of
that deal; and with the acquisition by
the Frisco of leased lines at rentals
which are declared by those familiar
with them to be extravagaht and un
warranted.
PROCEDURE OF PROBE.
Preliminary work in the inquiry will
be conducted by the division of carriers
accounts. When its work shall have
been concluded, a report will be made
to the commission of all the facts de
veloped. After fhat report the commis
sion probably will issue an order di
recting a formal inquiry into the whole
matter of the Frisco’s financial opera
tions. Hearings will be held and ar
guments heard.
A report then will be submitted to
the senate with such comments and
recommendations as may be suggested
py the facts.
If operations in violation of the in
terstate commerce law should be dis
closed by the inquiry, the commission,
as the administrator of that law, may
Issue an order in the proceeding or
submit evidence to the department of
justice. The probability is that the
inquiry will extend through many
months.

the metal schedule. It was reported

tion to putting pig iron and ferro man
ganese on the free list, also had trans
ferred ingots and billets to the free lisc,
because the house had put steel rails
in the undutiable class.

BUENOS AYRES, Argentina, June 12.
—The American meat packers ’compa

their plants, said:
"After investigating the situation,
the government considers that it is not
called upon to modify the existing
regime of liberty, which permits the
development of industry in Argentina.
If, however, new* facts should later
prove that the intentions of the Amer

GOMEZ’
FOLLOWERS
RENEW ACTIVITY
(By Associated Press.)
KL PASO, Tex., June 12.—There are
marked evidences of renewed activity
among the followers of Emilio Vasquez
Gomez, whose revolutionary propaganda
is not connected with the constitutional
ist movement. Federal mutineers under
Maximo Castillo, now in the field below
Juarez, have come out squarely for the
Vasquez Gomez claims to the presi
dency, and an organization committee
is meeting regularlly at El Paso.
The leader himself Is expected here
soon. In the meantime his political ad
herents are active In reorganizing the
movement which was launched as a rev
olutionary measure just after the Ma-
dero revolution. Gomez has not been in
the field since he proclaimed himself
president and was abandoned by Gen
eral Inez Salazar, woh joined the feder-
als. His followers here assert that At
torney Emilio Vasquez Gomez has join
ed forces with si brother, Dr. Francisco
Vasquez Gomez, woh recently escaped
from Mexico. While the lawyer has a
popular following on account of His plan
for land distribution, the physician is
said to retain much political power at
the national capital. On account of their
almost pure Indian blood, the Vasquez
Gomez brothers are accepted by a large
element in certain states.
McAdoo Says Statement That
$500,000,000 Was Available
Don’t Concern Wall Street
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, June 12.—Secretary
McAdoo, a White House caller today,
said that his statement announcing that
$500,000,000 of emergency currency
would be forthcoming should banks need
it, was made in response to numerous
inquiries from bankers. He emphasized
that the issuance-of the -statement had
nothing to do with'the situation in Wall
street.
The treasury department, it was stat
ed today, had been informed by bankers
that some stringency might be experi
enced in moving crops; if they had as
surance that relief could be had they
would be able to meet that situation,
and that it would be of great value to
business generally if they were in
formed now of the department’s atti
tude.

LEE OPTIMISTIC OVER
THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK
Georgia Congressman, in At
lanta, Predicts Early Read
justment to New Tariff
It would do the calamity howlers—
provided, of course, there are any such
microbes in the south—genuine good to
have a brief talk with Congressman Gor
don Lee, of the seventh Georgia dis
trict.
Congressman Lee is thoroughly opti
mistic concerning the business condi
tions of the country and the successful
and prosperous administration of the
country’s affairs by the Democratic par
ty.
It is the confident expectation of Con
gressman Lee that the tariff question
will be settled soon by congress and
that the country will readjust itself
rapidly to the new conditions. He ex
pects also that congress at the present
extra session will pass a banking and
currency bill.
“I am looking for congress to adjourn
in September,”* said Congressman Lee.
He passed through Atlanta Wednesday
evening, from a meeting of the board of
trustees of Emory College en route to
his home near Chickamauga. He will
remain at home for a few* days before
returning to Washington.
“The country will have three month’s
rest before the regular session of con
gress opens in December,” said Con
gressman Lee. Referring particularly
to Georgia he said:
“If weather conditions are favorable
and we have a good crop year, there
is no reason why this should not be
the most prosperous year in the history
of the state.” f

SPRINGFIELD, Ill., June 12.—Presi
dent Wilson, former Presidents Taft and
Roosevelt and. the governor of each
state where equal suffrage prevails have
been invited by telegraph to be present
at a women’s jubilee to be held here
Friday night to celebrate passage of the
bill yesterday granting limited suffrage
to the women of Illinois.
The jsromen are going ahead with
their plans for further enfranchisement,
it was announced today. A constitu
tional convention is one of these and a \
number of schools of instruction is an- j
other. The constitutional convention, it r
is expected, would enfranchise women j
so that they might vote on every propo- |
sition now* decided by the ballots of the
men. The schools of instruction will
hold courses in citizenship as Well as
practical lessons in voting by band-
marked ballots and by machine.
By the bill adopted yesterday women
may vote in all offices which are not
mentioned in the constitution of Illi
nois. The bill gives as large a meas
ure of suffrage to women in Illinois as
the constitution permits the legislature
to grant. Women cannot obtain com
plete suffrage in this state without a
constitutional amendment or a constitu
tional convention.

ST. PAUL, Minn., June 12.—Attorneys
for the Union Pacific presented at the
opening of the merger dissolution hear
ing today, a new plan for the disposition
of $38,000,000 worth of Southern Pacific
stock, to the Pennsylvania railroad, in
exchange for $21,000,000 worth of Bal
timore and Ohio stock.
Court adjourned without announcing
a decision in the Union Pacific disso
lution matter.
The new proposal was supplemental
to two plans recently submitted. The
amount of stock involved in the ex
change represents about 4 per cent of
the total Southern Pacific stock.
N. H. Loomis, of counsel for the Un
ion Pacific, explained that the Union
Pacific and the Southern Pacific were
in realuy as distinct as they ever could
be; but the supreme court had ordered
the Union Pacific to dispose of its
Southern Pacific stock and the former
road was doing its best to accomplish
this. He said the Union Pacific did not
guarantee to carry out either of the
two principal plans proposed even
though the court approved both of
them. If it should be found that to
follow either of them would involve too
great a sacrifice to the Union Pacific
stockholders, the disposition of the
stocks would be left to the court.
“How long a time do you think the
Union Pacific should be given to dis-
wsn: 1 inquirt.. Judge oinith.
J think the court should be liberal
with us ifi the matter of time, because
of the present condition of the money
market,” replied Mr. Loomis. He
thought the road should have one year
in which to offer the stock an
plete disposition of it.
Attorney General McReynolds, in op
posing plans proposed by the Union Pa
cific, said he regretted the railroads
had been unable to effect a deal where
by the Union Pacific would acquire the
Central Pacific In exchange for its
Southern Pacific stock. He said this
failure would compel the government to
institute expensive litigation to compel
the Southern Pacific to relinquish its
hold over the Central Pacific.

Veal Cutlets May
Become Rare When
This Law Passes
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, June 12.—Convinced
that the high prices of meats could be
effectively reduced through the enact
ment of a law prohibiting the slaughter
of calves, the chamber of commerce an
nounced today its^intention to appeal to
congress -for such legislation. Eminent
physicians throughout the country will
be asked to testify as to the unwhole
someness of veal as food, and their test
imony will be submitted to congress
when the crusade is launched.
Argentina, the chamber points out,
has a law which prohibits the killing of
a male beef animal until it is three
years old and a ferriale until six years
old. Leaders in the movement contend
that the slaughter of calves in the
United States has not only raised the
price of meats but is threatening its
standing as a meat-producing country.

CUBAN CONSULATE LOOKS
FOR SON OF CEN. MACEO
Son of Noted Cuban Patriot
Escaped From Insane Asy
lum on Long Island
(By Associatei Pross.)
NEW YORK, June 12.—The Cuban
consul general’s office today confirmed
that it is conducting a systematic
search for Antonio Maceo, son of Gen
eral Antonio Maceo, a Cuban patriot
killed in the w'ar with Spain, but that,
aside from learning that the young man
had been in an insane asylum on Long
Island and had escaped on June 3, no
trace of him could be found.
Young Maceo was committed to the
state hospital for the insane at Central
Islip, L. I., in September, 1912, after he
had shown signs of extreme depression
and melancholy. For some tiijie he was
in the institution under the name of
“Antonio Masson,” and it was not until
March last that he wrote a Cuban of
ficial of his plight and expressed the
hope of release.
The letter was forwarded to the state
department at Havana, with the result
that the consul general here was asked
to look into the case. On visiting the
asylum yesterday, he learned from the
superintendent that Maceo had escaped
Tuesday a week ago. He is about twen
ty-two years old.
SCANDAL BREWING IN

Alleged That Cabinet Minis

Companies With Contracts
LONDON, June 12.—Scandals con
necting members of the British govern
ment with speculation in oil, may, it is,

cabinet ministers speculating in the
shares of oil companies which con
tracted for the British navy.

joint estates of the man and wife were
estimated some time ago at $10,000,000,
while quite recently Maggi inherited the '

(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, June 12.—Members of
the senate lobby investigating commit
tee planned to hold the investigation
more strictly to the scope of the sen
ate’s instructions, when hearings wer$
resumed today.
References to President Wilson’s at
titude upon the sugar tariff and frequent
clashes between witnesses and commit
tee members which characterized yes
terday’s session laid Chairman Overman
and other members of the committee to
hold the testimony strictly to the ques
tion of whether insidious lobbying is be
ing carried on in Washington.
Several witnesses connected with the
Louisiana sugar planters’ campaign
against free sugar were ready to be
heard when the session opened. Tne
committee expected to take up the 7
other side of the "sugar lobby” question
before..the end. of the day and-to begin
examination of mfcn identified with the
publicity campaign in favor of free
sugar.
Jules Godchaux and E. F. Dickinson,
two of the Louisiana planters who tes
tified before the committee yesterday,

thus far by the sugar interests to
finance the Washington fight against
free sugar.
Paul Christian, secretary of the
Louisiana Sugar Planters’ offices in
Washington, first witness* today, testi
fied that all industries In Louisiana,
with % which the sugar men were in
touch, were requested to join in writing
to President Wilson what disaster they
believe would follow free admission to •
foreign sugar. Christian said he had
spent $1,181 in printing and mailing the
anti-free sugar literature from his
Washington offices. »
Truman G. Palmer, secretary of the *
United States Beet Sugar association,
frequently referred to in the hearings as
“the *best posted man” of the beet sugar
forces testified he had been in Wash
ington since 1002, when ho came here to
oppose the Cuban reciprocity bill.
Palmer gave a long list of members
of the association he represents, which
has for its object the promotion of the
beet sugar industry. Part of the work
of “promotion” was to look after legis
lation, se said.
Mr. Palmer said his present salary
was $10,000 a year. Since the opening
of congress in April he said his office
had spent a little more than $14,000.
Since he came here in 1902 he had paid
out about $160,000. Since April 7 he
had spent *$6,314 for publicity.
