I what difficult iask. Dade's delegates
will cist one whole vote each: Ogle

1500 REBELS FALL
IN CANON BATTLE
Ambushed in Deep Defile. Only!
I
500 of Orozco's Army of
2.000 Escape.
TORREON. MEXICO, May 14.—That j
the defeat of General Orozco's Insur- |
re.to army was far mote severe than!
first reported is the intelligence, con- j
veved in a dispatch from th® federal!
front received here today. More than:
1.-iOO rebels, principally from the col- ;
unin under GenetaF Salazar, were kill
ed, wounded or captured.
In an engagement in the t anon of
Cai men. w here the insuigents were
taken by surprise. General Salazar's
command was virtually cut to piece?,
only about 500 of his original detach
ment of 2,000 men escaping from the
trap into which they marched.
The Fight in the Canon.
General Salazar’s troops had started
from Sierra Mojada to flank the fed
erate under General Huerta. The in
surgent- found little difficulty in tak
ing the town of t’uatro Cienegas. and
pushed on. General Ttuney Aubert's
government annj wa. known to be in
the vicinity, but. the exact w hereabouts
was not reported. Aubert was nearer
than the rebels dreamed. While tra- I
versing the narrow defile of Canon Car
men. the federal column under General
Aubert suddenly appeared, supported
by several batteries of rapid-fire guns.
The rebels huddled together during the
flic, and were mowed down in heaps.
The remnant of the rebel band fled in ]
panic throw ing away their arms in or- t
dev to make better speed. Pursued by
the federate, they set out for Orozco's j
main column. Their path lay over a
burning desert that furnished neither
food not water for man or beast.
Says Retreat Was a "Lure."
General Orozco reports that General
Salazar’s column reached Yermo last
night, after having burned all the
bridges behind them. He makes no
mention of the defeat of tlie detach
ment by the government forces. The
insurgent , ommander-in-chief denies,
that he suffered a decisive defeat, and
says he fell back in order to lure
the government forces under General
Huerta into the open.
Generaj Orozco adds that he has a
battery of seventeen heavy guns en
route to join his command, and that
there are plenty of provisions and mu
nitions at his new base at Rellano.
“Just Begun To Fight.”
"We have just begun to fight in ear
nest." is one sentence of a proclama
tion issued to cheer his dispirited
troops. "Food ahd water crippled our
forces, but we will triumph in the end.”

BATH FIGHT IS ON
DESPITE COUNCIL
Efforts Are Still Being Made to
Have the Sunday Ban on
Swimming Removed.
Continued from Page One.
ing the park board not to permit any
Sunday swimming. Councilman C. W.
Smith declared:
“Gentlemen, such a tolerance by city
officials means Sunday baseball. Sun
day motion pictures and even worse
desecrations of the Sabbath."
John S. t'andler, mayor pro tern,
called Councilman Wardlaw to the pre
siding chair and took the floor of coun
cil to speak.
"It i® against the state law a.~ well as
the law of God," he shouted.
“The precept was handed down lo us
from Sinai, along with the laws that
we should not steal and that w* should
not kill.
“Let Them Wash on
Saturday Night.”
"When I "as a boy my father would
have thrashed me good for going in
washing on Sunday. He made us all
wash on Saturday night. And that's
"hat the people of Atlanta ought to do
wash on Saturday night. My col
league, Mr. Chambers, says that we
oufeht to permit the swimming for the
laboring people who do not have time
to enjoy it during the week. 1 see no
reason why they can not wash on Sat
urday night.
•’We should do all in our power to
keen the Sabbath day ffoly."
H* then introduced a substitute for
Councilman Smith's resolution, pledg
ing council to enforce all penal laws of
the state, and especially the statutes
regarding the holiness of the Sabbath.
"We don't want to appear dictatorial
tn the park board, but we must not
dodge this issue.” he said. “1 want
council to commit itself here and now."
This brought Councilman Aldine
Chambers to his feet.
Chambers Defends
Sunday Pleasure.
“I am as much of a moralist as any
member of council," he said, "but I
am opposed to adopting a resolution
that won't mean anything. Sunday
swimming is one of the very mildest of
the violations of the state law, if a
violation at all.
"There are many of our most promi
nent citizens who work their employees
so hard that they are compelled to ex
ecute part of their duties on Sunday.
“The selling of soft drinks at soda
fountains is an open and flagrant vio
lation of the state law."
Judge Candler interrupted him her*,
saying that when he was on the bench
he fined some of the drug stores for
keeping open on Sunday.
Mr. Chambers continued by referring
to the Sunday freight trains as a vio
lation of the state law.
Judge Candler replied that Sunday
freight trains that did not conform tn
the Jaw were not permitted in his
county, DeKalb. But he withdrew his
substitute resolution.
Aiderman James E. Warren next
arose to speak.
Warren Fears for
Order at the Park.
"If the keeping of the Sabbath was
left, to a certain element we would soon
have no Sabbath," he said. "The ma
jority of those who indulged in Sunday
swimming at Piedmont park last sum
mer were a bunch of hoodlums. They
would dive in the water and grab the
women by the feet and violate all rules
of decency. It must not be permitted.”
Councilman Claude C. Mason made a
few remarks, urging that Sunday was
the one day "hen the working people
had an opportunity to enjoy the parks.
Alderman Ragsdale said that he was
the father of five children and that if
all rhe members of council felt real par
ental responsibility they would vote to
prevent Sunday swimming.
Councilman W G. Humphrey replied
to him. saying that he had two boys
and that if they never did anything
worse than going in swimming on Sun
day he would h* well pleased.
Matter Not Under
Council s Power.
Councilman Smith introduced the
resolution which brought on the de
bate. and Councilman Harvey Hatcher
moved that it be tabled.
"The regulation of parks is a matter
for the pa r k board to handle." h* said.
"If the board doesn't suit us. we can
abolish it."
Th* resolution was tabled by a vote
of 11 to 9. But Councilman Greer said
he had misunderstood the proposition,
voting for Sunday swimming when he
intended to vote against it. The reso
llution was then taken from the table
and adopted by 12 to 1", after the de
bate of more than an hour.

BRITONS BOIIIIT’
mfflDiffl
Atlanta Minister in English
Pastorate Cheered When He
Jests His Eulogists.
LONDON, May 14.- Rev. Dr. Len G.
Broughton, formerly of Atlanta. Ga..
now pastor of Christ church. Vlest
minste! Bridge road, is achieving the
unprecedented. He is an American hu
morist appreciated abroad. Convulsing
with laughter an audience of
British people is his latest feat They
roared at his jokes and actually stood
up to cheer him at th* end of his ar -
dress ....
When th* American clergyman, tai!
and gaunt, with the student's stoop of
shoulders, appeared before the great
audience his British hearers expected,
one of the orthodox talks that would
naturally accompany such a mein.
Rut they raised their conventional {
eyebrows in astonishment when Dr.
Broughton began:
"I don't want you people to imagine
that all the things these eight previous
talkers have been saying about me are
true. I've got to preach here next Sun- /
day and they haven't."
His Job World's Biggest.
The congregation smiled the same,
moment that tjie clergyman cracked the
joke, and Dr. Broughton, in increasing
good humor, follow cd up the initial suc
cess. "I really guess.” he continued
dryly, "that I'll have to get before a
looking glass before I can identify niy
self as the fellow they've been saying
all these nice things about If all the
talk they've mad* is so. then I guess
I've taken on the biggest job any man
ever had in th* wot Id. But if som
one of them will give me a chant* to
welcome him some time I’ll strain my
conscience as much as 1 can in hi? be
half."
The British audience was now really
bubbling with reflected mirth, and at
tlie end of the address the entire con
gregation so far forgo, itself a? o
stand up and cheer rousingly the Amer
ican whose wit had captivated it.
An Appendix Removed.
Dr. W. B. Riley , of Minneapolis, told
the big audience w hat it had to expect
of the American p oacher it had . ‘taken
in."
"This fellow." said Dr. Riley, pointing
to Dr. Len G. Broughton, "has a great
fund of stories, and I know he’ll be
working them off on you from time to
time. Hr performed the first opera
tion for removing the human appendix
in South Carolina. He has faced and
conquered all th* problems of church
work over there, and he’ll do It here,
