Ague Prieta, Mex- April 17.
(From the Associated Press Corres-i

between 1,600 federals under command
of Lieutenant-Colonel Dies and 1,000
rebela under Balaaaria Garcia and re
sulted in the repulse of the former.
X be battle, however, waa not finally
decisive. It lasted from 6:30 a. m.
until sundown. At nightfall two fed
eral machine guna were in the posses
sion of the rebels snd the federals had
sustained a loss estimated by the reb
els as at least 200 killed and wounded.
The rebels gave their loss st 20.
From the beginning of the battle,
regarlesa of the warning given by
the United State" government to the
leaders or both forces, s rain of bul

came before him for final hearing.
It ia tbe. belief of many here, ac
cording to the Atlanta Journal, that
the governor will shortly declare his

Matter of Issuing FriTflags license to
Drag Stores to Sell Whiskey ea
Prescription to Oosm Us. ' '
; The board oflderwjea will meet
tonight for the purpose of taking final
action on the question of granting
privilege license to the drug stores to
sell whiskey on prescription. It is
generally understood by the ' public
that four drug stores have agreed not
to ask for license. If such sn agree
ment is made known to the board to
night it is a safe prediction that no
license will be granted. '
The board will also meet tomorrow
night to consider the gas franchise,
which has ben submitted to then by
Mr. Sydney Kenny, of Philadelphia.
Aldermen Cannon, Propst and Barrier
have been appointed a committee to
consider the franchise and they will
be glad to talk the matter over with
any ritien who has any suggestions
to offer. It is expected tbst Mr. Ken
ny and bis attorney, Mr. D. Howard
Evans, will be here for the meeting.
1 A DESPICABLE ACT. '
Flask of Whiskey and Deck of Cards
Left on Porch at Rev. W. L.
Hutchins' Home.,
Some one, who passes in the night
under the cover of darkness to com
mit his eosrerdly depredations, visited
the home of Rev. W. L. Hutehins last
night in the dark hours and attempted
to embarrass and humiliate this good
man by. leaving a flask of whiskey and
a pack of cards on his porch. : As is
well known, Mr. Hutehins has taken an
open and manly part in the fight for
the enforcement of laws in Concord
and agsinst the illegal sale of whiskey,
and bis enemies do not know the man
if they think they can crawl around
his premises like thieves in ths night
and by leaving two of the greatest
agencies for ths degradation of man
kind force him to let up in his relent
less fight against these very agencies.

lUIeigb, April 17. W hen Senator
Simmons waa ia Raleigh Saturday be
did not call at Governor Kitchin's of
fice. This however, may not be a sig
nificant fact other than another indi
cation that the lines are already
drawn for the senatorial fight. Sena
tor Simmons, however, did have a e
ferenee with ex-Governor Ayeoek Sat
urday, so tbe latter admitted in reply
to a question from ths Daily News
repereccntsfive this morning. Gover
nor Ayeoek did not have anything to
say for publication.
From an advised source, however.
it is learned thai Governor Ayeoek is
very seriously considering the strong
demand that has been made upon him
to enter the senatorial fight and it is
also authoritatively known that a de
cision will be reached in perhaps less
than three weeks' time whether he will
allow his name to be used for tbe sen
ate. It would certainly create an in
teresting fight with Simmons.Kitehin
and Ayeoek in the field and all known
to highly desire a primary to choose
the one whose name should be pre
sented to the legislature.
An idea that is puzzling students of
the political sitnation is just why the
opposition to Senator Simmons would
want to run ex-Governor Aveoek. for.
if Simmons has been wrongNon partv
policies, or public questions, then Ay
cock must also be wrong, because Sim
mons and Ayeoek have been together
on most things, and A veoek, generally
speaking, has not hemtated to approve
of Simmons' course.

White Light To B Timed Ms Dark
wi
Washington, 'April 17. Repuslieaa
housekeeping and the coed net at the
nine executive departments of tne
government will soon be subjected to
the white light of pobtieity by eom
mitties of the democratic house sad
the evils and abases which are alleged
to have crept into tbe (MHtoAee and '
legal deartmenta panjeularly, and pos
sibly the other seven as well, will be
scsrehingly snd thoroagly probed. 1
This wss ths conclusion reached at
a conference in the speaker's room
this afternoon, attended by Speaker
Clark, Mr. Underwood, ths democratic
leader, and the nine chairmen of va
rious committees. '
Never before since ,187(1 whan a
democratic house inaugurated a thor
ough cleaning out of the executive
departments, impeached a member of
the cabinet, pruned appropriations, in
a way never done before, abolished
useless positions and cleaned things -up
generally bas each a determined
inquiry been decided upon.- r
The various executive departments
an considerably excited over the com
ing cyclone. Employed of the gov
ernment, though tbey dare not at the
risk of their jobs, talk for publica
tion, an 'elated over the prospects of
having the truth become known. -A
long lease of power has apparently
made the republicans arbitrary and in
tolerant. The inquiry to be Inaugu
rated into the departmenta president
rated into the departments presided
over by Mr. Hitchcock, Attorney Gen.
eral Wiekersbam and the others, will
be thorough and exhaustive. No mercy
will be shown. -,
'As a result of tbe disploures ex--pected,
impeachment proceedings way
be instituted against one or two mem- '
ben of President Taft 'a cabinet. f
That memben of the senate believe
such a situation may develop is proven
by their distinction to take any hand v
in tbe inquiry at ibis tlmes They pre
fer to leave that mater to the proper '
committee of the bouse since, if im
peachment proceedings are instituted, .
