His Column of Federal Volunteers
Now Operating Along Chi-
li uahua-Sonorm Border.
General Jose de la Lua Blanco, the fed-
eral commando? reported to hare been
raptured and executed two week* ago by
lied Flag rebel* uear Bablcora, Chib., la
alive and pushing a vigorous campaign
ngalust the Red Flag bandita along the
Chlhuahnu-Sonora atate line west at Ma-
dera, says Mexican Consul K. C. Llorente.
The consul said last night that he baa
received dispatches from Sonora to the
effeet that Blaueo is atlll alive, and Tery
much alive.
Blanco, according to nnmerous uncon-
firmed reports, was captured early In Jan.
nary near the Hearst ranch at Bablcora
by a flying squad of Red Flaggers. It
was said that he and his secretary were
tnken while they were abont a mile away
from the column of federal volunteers he
commanded. Later came the news that
he was executed. Even Mexloo City pa-
pers accepted the story of Blanco's death
and printed long articles on the subject
Consul Llorente also verified a report
received yesterday In Juarez that Antonio
Rojas, a notorious Reil Flag leader, was
killed Monday In au encounter betweeu
federals and Red Flaggers at Villa
.Mniinadn, eighty miles south of Juarex,
on the Mexican government’s railway
line. Rojas, it is said, was In command
of the bandits who attacked the govern-
ment troops. v,
.No further news from the •‘front” has
leached Juarex and conditions between
the border and Chihuahua city are prac-
tically unknown.
A denial of the rumor tbat. he is to re-
sign his position here as Mexican consul
on the first of February was male last
night by Mr. Llorente. He said that he
expects to be transferred to some other
official post within the next three or four
months, but has no definite Instructions
in the matter.

-3C. F. Van de Water, of Long
Beach, Cal-, was in the city yester-
day, leaving last night for Mazatlan.
Mr. Van de Water is one of the mem-
bers of the Culiacan Land company,
who owns the Las 'Francos planta-
tion; Last year several of the col- ^ ^
onists Whom Mr. Van de Water had | Thursday
brought down to the west coast were
driven to the states because of fear
of the rebels, but their fears were un-
grounded, as none of their property
has been molested at any time.
Many -of these people are now
ready to return to Mexico, and Mr.
Van de Water is here to study the po-
litical situation, and will make a
full report to these colonists on his
return. He says that he sees nothing
in tfcj situation at this time to war-
rant their colonists remaining away
from their property longer, and that
he intends to advise them to return
Immediately, and also has several
new families ready to come down
here and purchase land.
While looking over the Yaqui val-
ley this week Mr. Van de Water says
he was impressed with the good con-
ditions existing there. The Yaqui
Indiana have not molested any Amer-
icans. although they are still com-
mitting depredations among the
Mexicans- Le E. Thompson, the at-
torney for the Culiacan Land com-
pany, is expected to return very short-
ly to the west coast. It is the Inten-
tion of both Mr. Van de Water and
Mr. Thompson to begin work active-
ly where they left off last year when
the disturbances began.

made to pass the bill in spite of the
committee’s adverse recommenda-
tion.

Eighteen Hundred Happy Children Ate Guests of
The Morning Times at “Trick Dogs” Performance
Little Guests Came From All Over ttie City—Crowd Filled Main Ktreet From Oregon to Mesa Avenue Before
the Crawford Theater’s Doors Were Opened—Not an Accident Mur red the Whole Affair.
"It’s always fair weather when good fellows get together"—but it's more than thut, It's sublime, when hun-
dreds of children get together- And that Is what happened yesterday afternoon at the Crawford theater.
More than eighteen hundred of them saw Professor Burton's dog circus as the guests of the Times. Little
girls and little boys; slender children; chubby children; tall children; short children- young children; "old”
children; brown children; quiet children; noisy children—all kinds of children were there- Out of all ihb tur-
moil and excitement one thing was dear. Every one of them was happy.
The Times had announced that the first performance would begin at 3 o'clock sharp. Long before that
time a laughing, pushing, wide-eyed crowd' of little boys and girls had gathered at the theater. The. youngsters
filled the lobby. Then they took up the sidewalk. And when the doors finally opened they covered the whole
block between Orqgon street and Mesa avenue along the north side of Mailt.
Manager Glass took up the role of "father" to the little guests—and he played It well. With four assist-
ants, actors in his company now at the crawford. he took the children in charge, showed them where to go,
saw that they climbed on no dangerous perches and In a dozen other ways looked after them.
In less time almost than it take.* to tell, the lower floor of the theater was filled. Still there were doz-
ens of children waiting to get In- Manager Glass decided be would not let any but the older ones go into -
the balcony for fear they might become careless anti fall over the railing. So he announced that two per-
formances would be given.
Chairs were borrowed from every conceivable source and the "kiddles" were seated on them after all'
the regular opera chairs were taken- t>nc chair often sufficed for two of the tiny guests. They were placed
so as not to obstruct the aisles
Between the opening of the theater doors and (he rising of the curtain there was an indescribable scene
Inside the theater. Put a thousand children, hardly any of them over fifteen years old. In one big room with-
out any stern restraint and see what happens. There were probably a hundred mothers In the crowd. These
mothers were adults when they entered the place—but they were children when they came out.
But to go back to the children. Before the curtain rose there were at least 900 in the theater. Among
these 900 were boys and girls from every part of the city. They came on roller skates, afoot, in carriages,
In automobiles and—in arms.
There was an orchestra to amuse them while they walled for the first glimpse of Ihe trick dogs. The
orchestra wasn't heard very much; there were too many children's voices. Nobody seemed to miss the music,
though. V
Every box was “chuck full” of little ones. Every bit of space In the orchestra pit not taken up by the
musician was given over to the children- All the little boys had their hats off. Nearly everybody was laugh-
ing and talking- The noise was terrific.
Suddenly the curtain went up. Not a sound. Every child, from the youngest to the oldest, sat "as quiet
as a mouse.” For ten minutes (he performing dogs held them to almost absolute silence. Then grad-ral-
ly they began to find themseoes and quiet, benthless exclamations of delight rose from all parts of the
house.
There Is hardly space to describe the show Itself. It Is enough to say that the children had never seen any
dog show quite so good. It is almost a safe prediction that hardly a boy who saw Professor Burton and his
pets yesterday afternoon will throw a stone at a dog or abuso a dumb brute, and It Is equally as safe to say
that many a dog In El Paso will gel a systematic course of lessons In circus “stunts," for "boys will be boys"
and El Paso has an army of dogs.
After the first performance the house was cleared and a second show given. The last crowd was ns
large as the first. A number of teachers in the public schools brought ttielr whole classes with them to at-
tend the show.
Not a mishap marred the entire afternoon, for which fact Manager Glass and his assistants are entirely
responsible. Mr. Glass has had a great deal of experience In handling large crowds, but lie says that yes-
terday's audience was the "largest and most interesting yet.” Professor Burton’s dog circus will be added
to the regular show, “The Cutest Girl In Town," at 'he Crawford tonight.
The Morning Times was the host at yesterday's show. Coupons of admittance were printed on the first
page of Monday’s and Tuesday's editions. All that was necessary was to clip the coupon and present it at
the door. No charge of any kind was made. From all Indications, El l’aso never had an large a number of
happy children before as It did yesterday happy children before as It did yederday afternoon

Washington, Jan. 21.—“Shall we In-

Is false to its agreement*, false to its
pledged word ? Shull wo have it made
known the world over that you must
look out for tho United States or It
will have the advantage of you? That
the United States is astute, cunning,
slippery?"
With this vigorous denunciation of
the attitude of this country in the
Panama canal controversy with Great
Britain, Senator fc;iihu Hoot closed a
two-hours’ speech in tho senate to-
day with an appeal for the submission
of the Panama question to arbitra-
tion, or the repeal of that section of
the canal law that would give free
passage t«» American coastwise ship-
ping.
Made Vigorous Attack.
Speaking from the experience of a
member of President Koosevelt’s cab-
inet when the Panama canal zone was
purchased, and when over 25 arbitra-
tion treaties were made with foreign
nations. Senator Hoot, delivered a
most vigorous attack on the present
attitude of the United States.
It became known, following the
senator’s address, that Senator Bran-
degee, chairman <>f the Inter-Oceanic
Canals committee, will call a meet-
ing within a few days to take up Sena-
tor Knot’s amendment for the repeal
of the free toll provision.
A determined effort hy those who
opposed the original passage "f this
provision will be made at this ses-
sion of congress to change the law
before it goes into effect, so that the
CISC of dispute with Great Britain
will be removed.
Would Violate Pledges.
Senator Knot declared the United
States would violate all Its pledges
and promises to the world; would he
guilty of false pretenses in ils advo-
cacy of general arbitration, and
would proclaim itself indifferent to
national honor and integrity. If It re-
fused to submit to arbitration or to
retreat from the unjust position it
had taken.
lie declared free coastwise tolls to
American ships were illegal, unless
concessions were made to foreign
ships. The claim that the United
States had domestic rights over the
canal, because It owned the ennui
zone, constituted a violation of the
express guarantee of (tie United States
to (Jreat Britain, he said.
The United Stales had preached ar-
bitration for years, .Senator Knot de-
clared and had besought the nations
of the world "in season und out or
season, to ('nter Into arbitration agree-
ments for the settlement of all dis-
putes.”
Are Wo Pharisees?
“Are we Pharisees?” he cried.
“Have we been Insincere and false.
“The Instant that an Interest is nt
stake, we proposed to falsify every
declaration, every promise, by the nr-
rogun inslBtiitiee that we alone can de-
termine the Interpretation of this
treaty; that we will refuse to abide by
the treaty?
“And is the gam a worth the can-
dle?* Is It worth our while to ro-
nia’n In a position, to maintain which
w • may be driven to repudiate our
pntie pies, our professions and our
agreements, for the purpose of con
ferlrng a money benefit at. the ex-
pense of the treasury of the United
Stales on the most highly and abso-
lutely protected special industry in
the United Slates- our coast wise
shipping ?”
United States Authority.
Senator Boot contended that (lie
authority of the United Staten over
Ihe canal was based directly on the
principle of neutralization.
“We lire not at liberty.” said tho
senator, "to put any construction on
the liny-Panneefnte treaty, that vio-
lates that controlling principle of ab-
solute equity embodied in the other
treaty.”
lie quoted *the Assurances given
Great Britain that the United State*
did not seek any special favors for
Its ship* iu the Panama canal and
sited treaties with other nations in
which the same position wn* taken
Senator IJoot contended the United
States could claim no special con-
trol «*vfr the canal heenuse it owned
tie- canal z oo* This suggestion had
been made, lie said, by those, who
claimed the United State* was enti-
tled to build a canal mi its own prop-
erty and do with B as if liked without
regard to previous treaties.
Vot Our Territory
“Nothing can be farther from th*
fact.’’ declared Senator Boot. “It is
not our territory, except in trust.
Treaty or no treaty we have long as-
serted. beginning under Secretary
Utie.*,, that the nations of Central
America had no right to debar the
world from Its right to pusa acm<*

ages f<*r the United State® over other

because civilization had a right to tho
passage and we made ourselves the
