Paris, May 31.—The development of
sport and athletics may shortly be
taken under the direct supervision of
the French government, the idea being
that physical training of the rising
generation is quite as important to the
nation as art or railways, and that it
is in accordance with the new spirit of
progress in France.
The French cabinet has under con-
sideration the advisability of asking
parliament to create an under-secre-
tary of state, who shall be attached to
the ministry of labor, and whose duties
will be solely to look after sporting
affairs.

Washington, May 31.—The senate’s
investigation of the"numerous and in-
sidious lobby” which President Wilson
charged was threatening the tariff bill
will begin Monday at 10:30 o’clock by
a committee composed of Senators
Overman, Walsh, Cummins, Reed and
Nelson. Mr. Overman will be chair-
man.
The investigation will be conducted
openly, and members of the senate
will be called in alphabetical order.
The subcommittee considered a tenta-
tive list of questions prepared by Sen-
ator Overman, but they were not
adopted, the committee deferring ac-
tion until another meeting late today.
President Wilson -as sent a certi-
fied copy of the resolution authorizing
the inquiry, and Mr. Overman tele-
phoned to Secretary Tumulty the in-
formation that the committee would
begin work Monday.
“We will not ask the president to
come before the committee,” said Sen-
ator Overman. “What the president
wishes to do in the matter the com-,
mittee will leave to his own good
judgment. We hope to conclude the
inquiry in ten days, as specified in the
resolution. It is our purpose to rush
it as rapidly as possible, not overlook-
ing anything of importance that de-
velops.” __________________________

Mexico City, May 31.—No intimation
has yet been given by Provisional
President Huerta as to when he will
issue the decree calling a. presidential
election. It is considered certain that
he will not delay for long the formali-
ty of issuing an official call, as both
houses of congress have passed a meas-
ure fixing October 26 as the date.
General Felix Diaz is the only candi-
date who has frankly entered his name
for the election, but it is regarded as
probable that he will be met by the
opposition forces of Manuel Calero,
former Mexican ambassador at Wash-
ington, and possibly of Francisco De
la Barra, minister for foreign affairs,
as the representative of the Catholic
party.
The tone of a large part of the press
and the expressions of opinion of many
including numerous friends of Felix
Diaz, indicate that his popularity has
waned, and that there is little chance
of his election.
Solid sense in that re-
mark.
But how many local ad-
vertisers—the small mer-
chants in any community—
study this fact deeply, ana-
lytically with a view to fit-
ting it to their businesses—•
to increasing their trade
with the housewives?

Austin Christi, Texas, June 1.—Rus-
sell Savage, city attorney of Corpus
Christi, was here conferring with the
railroad commission relative to an ap-
plication now before the commission
by the city of Corpus Christi for the
purchase .of 2,000 feet of water front
on Mustang Island on which it is con-
templated to construct municipal docks
and wharves. Mr. Savage said that
these proposed improvements will be
of great magnitude, but that it is not
intended to commence the work until
some time next year.
Mr. Savage declared that the city of
Corpus Christi was now engaged in
the construction of docks on the water
front at Corpus Christi. He said that
this was made necessary on account
of the increase in the business now
being done through Corpus as a port.
As soon as an affidavit is filed by
the city of Corpus Christi that the
proposed municipal improvements on
Mustang Island are not being con-
structed for the purpose of creating a
monopoly, favorable consideration will
be given the application. Railroad
Commissioner Williams has the matter
in charge.

Twenty-Five Rebels Killed and Many
Others Are Wounded.
By Associated Press.
Laredo, Texas, May 31.—Federal
forces numbering 250 surprised a Car-
ranza force of nearly 200 shortly be-
fore 8 o’clock this morning at Colum-
bia, Mexico, on the Rio Grande twen-
ty-five miles above here. They poured
in upon them a heavy fire from ma-
chine guns and, in an incredibly short
time succeeded in killing twenty-five
persons and wounding many others.
This information reached this city
early this morning, and it was no sur-
prise to the Nuevo Laredo officials,
who anticipated a complete annihila-
tion of the rebel forces, which had
been stationed near Columbia for
months, conducting a government of
their own, collecting customs duties on
cattle and in general carrying out their
plan of separation from the Huerta
government.
Taking the offensive the federal
forces, under command of Colonel Ger-
onimo Villarreal, silently left Nuevo
Laredo late last night en route toward
Columbia, where a large force of Car-
ranzistas were encamped. The federal
forces took with them branches of the
cavalry and infantry force arrived at
Columbia this morning, and surprised
the Carranza forces before they had
time to realize that the federals were
in the vicinity. The federals fired into
the ranks of the demoralised rebels
with two machine guns with telling ef-
fect.
When the federals begen firing the
rebels became demoralised and fled
precipitately, many endeavoring to
oress to the American side. Twenty
Een crossed to the American side of
the river at Minera, Texas, but were
apprehended by the Fourteenth cavalry,
which is patrolling the river in that
vicinity in order to prevent violation
of the neutrality laws. The men will
be brought to this city on a special
train some time this afternoon.
It is stated on the best authority
that among the federal forces is one
American, Paul Mason, who together
with Lee Christmas has enjoyed a repu-
tation as a fighter, and been identified
with many revolutions in Central
America,, especially in Honduras. The
American, it is said, had no small part
in directing the energies of the fed-
eral forces.

This morning al soldiers of the
Fifth brigade, commanded by Colonel
Daniel Cornman, stood muster in prep-
aration for the pay roll, which will be
compiled by Captain Biasland, and this
afternoon the men are at leisure.
The field returns will be made out
by the company commanders of the
various regiments and preparation will
begin for the payment of the soldiers
encamped hereofor their May services,
amounting to about $100,000. The ac-
tual payment will commence as soon
as the rolls are completed and in the
hands of the paymaster. The allow-
ances, such as clothing, fines, etc., must
be considered in making out the rolls,
and this wil require several days.
It is believed that Captain Biasland
will commence payment by the end of
next week.
The payment of money for services
to the troops at Texas City will be
made about the same time that the
Galveston men will be paid. Approxi-
mately $400,000 will be distributed to
the men during the early part of next
month.
Following the payment of the money,
the Fourth brigade, commanded by
Colonel Robert L. Bullard, will hike
from Texas City to Galveston, where
the regiments will establish a recrea-
tion camp on the island, for one week.
It is likely that this regiment will visit
Galveston the latter part of next week
or a few days later.
Colonel Cornman, commander of the
Fifth brigade, is planning to take his
four regiments of infantry out the
first three days of next week and drill
them in regimental formation. On
Thursday and Friday the brigade as a
whole will go down the island, where
brigade problems will be solved on the
two days. Each day about noon the
regiments will return to their camps
at Fort Crockett, where they will re-
main over the afternoon and night
After muster was stood this morn-
ing all soldiers were free for the day,
as far as having any kind of labor to
do. No parades or drills of any kind
will be held today. This is in con-
formity to the ruling of Major General
Carter recently issued that five days
a week should be devoted to instruc-
tion, three of which should be to regi-
ments in that formation and two to the
brigade in brigade formation. The
band concert will take place on the
parade grounds at the usual hour, the
Seventh infantry band being the or-
ganization chosen to give the open-air
entertainment.
Tomorrow afternoon the Seventh and
Fourth infantry bands will give a con
solidatel band concert on the reserva-
tion at Fort Crockett. Arthur , S.
Haynes, chief musician of the Seventh
infantry band, will act as director of
the two bands, he being the senior
musician. The program follows:

New York, May 31.—Members of th®,
international banking firm of Speyer
& Co., had a conference today with
New York lawyers who will co-operate
with Frederick W. Lehman of
St. Louis as counsel to deter-
mine a plan of action in a fight
to determine a plan of action in a fight
to bring about the dismissal-of at least
one of the receivers appointed for the
St. Louis and San Francisco railroad
and the substitution of a man to rep-
resent the interests of the bondholders.
It was expected that Mr. Lehman
would leave today or tomorow for St.
Louis where the receivers now in
charge of the road were appointed, and
that legal proceedings would be begun
early next week.
James Speyer has cancelled an in-
tended trip to Europe and will remain
here to look after the interests of the
holders of the $65,000,000 Frisco bonds,
which Speyer & Co. floated, and for
whom, it is said, on behalf of the firm,
it feels responsibility.
Dispatches from Paris say that
French investors in the bonds are very
indignant that the receivers should
have been appointed without consulting
the bondholders of the road, and pro-
posed to send representatives to this
country to follow the reorganization
proceedings.
The fact that Speyer & Co. issued a
statement, stating that they were “not
consulted” in the appointment of the
receivers both of whom are officials
of the road, has brought about what
is characterized in Wall Street as an
open warfare between the firm and B.
F. Yoakum, president of the road, and
it is predicted that the coming legal
contest will amount virtually to a
fight to control the Frisco.
Mr. Yoakum is quoted as saying that
“the securities of the company are all
safe. The stock will be worth more
than ever. It will take only a little
time to demonstrate this.”
The fact that the Frisco’s bonded
indebtedness far exceeds its outstand-
ing stock issues is, according to Wall
street opinion, the chief cause of the
road’s troubles. On behalf of the Spey-
ers it is said the fate of the bonds,
which are a lien ahead of the stock,
is the more important question to be
determined.
Friction between Speyer & Co. and
Yoakum began a few months ago, it
was said, when the'firm declined to fi-
nance the maturing notes for $2,250,000.
This brought about the receivership,
although the earnings of the road, the
bankers said, did not warrant such
action.
Mr. Lehman is expected here early
next week and will soon return to St.
Louis where the receivers are.
