IN RURAL SCHOOLS

AMERICANS FLEE. EL PASO, Tex., July 31. All Americans are fleeing from northern Mexico to El Paso. The Mormons started the exodus, but the trains last night and today brought Americans from other settlements than those of the Mormons, all telling the same story of confiscation of arms, abuse, theft of cattle, farm products, wagons, horses and other things more valuable. Many dealers declare that they were held up and robbed of their money while making their way to the railroad. Two men who held up and robbed (Jeorge Redd, a Mormon on Sunday, were executed by orders of General Salazar, who declared he would have no bandits in the rebel army. Later he issued orders to take bedding and food from the Mormons homes, abandoned by the families who fled for safety when their homes were taken. Night prowlers are following the reels. The federals have been driven back into Sonora from their attempt to trap the rebels. The latter now have all of Western Chihauhua at their mercy. It will be weeks before the federal army from Chihuahua can work its way into th vicinity of Casas, Crandes, Pearson, Madera and Coralitos, where the rebels have been robbing Americans of their fire-arms and refugees now in El Paso to the number of 2,000 or more. Including those who came before the last hurried exodus, fear that the torch will completely destroy what h hand of the looter has spared. The federal commands of generals Hanjlnes and Blanco, who for a month were working their way across the Continental divide from Sonora into Chihuahua have been whipped back by the rebels and thus the federal effort to get the rebel army between two fires has failed. The retreat of the federals leaves Sonora open to the rebels. The rebels spent yesterday evening sacking the homes of fugitive Mormons at Colina Dublan.' No American homes have yet been sacked in Pearson or Madra, but many of them have been searched for ammunition.

Takes Personal Charge of Arrangements. (National News Association) CHICAGO, July 31. Senator Joseph M. Dixon, head of the provisional national committee of the new Progressive party and campaign manager for Theodore Roosevelt arrived here today. He will take personal charge of affairs here. "In the three contests tba.t will come

before the national convention," he said, "and all which involves southern states, it is probable that the white delegates will be seated and that the

colored contestants will not be seated. It is certain that the platform adopted will include a strong plank In favor of woman's suffrage." Senator Dixon said that It was the policy of the new party that the white people should rule in the southern states. His statement was in line with the plan to have 175 confederate soldiers marching with 175 veterans of the Federal army, as special guests of the convention. The "white rule" Idea also is expected to strengthen the party in the South. The leaders of the new party here say that they believe the time has come when southern voters are willing to desert the Democratic party but that they would never vote the Republican ticket. A new party on progressive lines, they Bay, will invite these southern voters.

BIG CROWDJT TRIAL Curious Throng at Hearing of Darrow.

FORM COMBINATION HERE THIS MORNING

FORM A million dollar combination was formed this morning, when the stockholders of the Miami Valley Securities company decided to consolidate with the Columbus Securities company of Indianapolis. When the final articles of the combine are filed the corporation will have a capital of over 12,000,000, it is said. The Miamo Valley company will be known as the Columbus Securities company. The office here will be conducted as in the past as one of the branch offices. The stock of the Miama company was taken share for share with the Columbus company and the seven per cent coupon dividend checks were given. It is understood that W. H. Webb will be the manager of the local office.

When the schools of Wayne county open for the year of 1912-13, there will be only three men instructors in the schools of Wayne township. This proportion is the same over the entire county. As a rule men find that occupation as a county school teacher is not a profitable business and as a result those who naturally seek this kind of work, either work in other fields or ask positions in the city schools. The average wage of the teachers in the county is about $50 per month, while some do not receive that amount. At the end of the month.

they say, after all expenses are paid, the country teacher has about 20 or $25 to put away ior a "rainy day." For some time County Superintendent Williams has tried to secure better wages for the county teachers, but the conditions are such that it is impossible. That they should be given more is the common sentiment over the entire county, as well as in other portions of the state. The schools in Wayne county are far advanced over those of other counties, having this year taken another step in advance by inaugurating a course of agriculture in the schools.

It Is currently rumored that when the Teachers' institute meets during the Chautauqua August 26 to 30 some resolution will be adopted favoring an increase in wages. The teachers for Wayne township are as follows: District No. 1, Jas. C. Starr; district No. 1, Freda Reynolds; district No. 3, Nellie Morrow; district No. 3, Frances Simmons; district No. 4, Elmina Stidham; district No. 5, Cora Nolder; district No. 6, Ora M.

A poisoned fly is more dangerous than a live one. The poison is an added danger and does not kill the germs on the body of the fly.

(National News Association) LOS ANGELES, July 31 A multitude of curious persons thronged the corridors of the Hall of Records building today seeking admittance to the courtroom of Judge Hutton, her Clarence Darrow, the noted Chicago labor lawyer, is testifying in his own behalf in the McNamara jury bribery case. When the morning session was formally opened it was expected tnat Darrow would be questioned concerning the cashing of a $10,000 draft by Tvietmoe in San Francisco. Other details of the disbursement of the McNa

mara defense fund were to be gone into. It was evident that chief counsel for the defense. Earl Rodgers, expected to finish with his examination of the defendant early today and that by the morning recess, or at latest by

2 o'clock Darrow would be turned over to the prosecution for cross examination. Assistant District Attorney Ford will be the cross examiner. This came about through a decided difference of opinion between District Attorney Fredericks and his chief assistant as to the merits of a lengthy cross examination of the witness. Fredericks, it is said, was opposed to a long cross examination on the theory that it would simply strengthen Darrow's direct testimony. Ford held the opposite view. At any rate, Darrow regards Ford as his especial bete noir, as it was Ford who conducted the investigations which led to his Indictment. The battle between the defendant and the assistant district attorney will be the great crisis of the trial. The cross examination may be the Waterloo of the defense, or it may be the prosecution's retreat from Moscow.

THERE WILL BE NO

- BOLT SAYS DEWEY

" OCatidnal 5Tews Association) CHICAGO, July 31. That there will be a bolt from-the state Progressive convention here August 3 was flatly denied today by Colonel Chauncey

Dewey, leader of the party in the state and the man elected as sergeant-at-arms at the coming national convention. ' Reports that there will be a bolt are being circulated by friends of Governor Deneen said M. Dewey. "These reports asserted that several of the downstate delegates to the convention would walk out If a third state ticket were nominated. 'There will probably be discussion as to the advisability of nominating a state ticket," Col. Dewey continued, "but it will not be to any lack of harmony In the long run."
