SEVEN AMERICANS ARE SHOT .Citizens of Douglas, Ariz., Hit by Bul lets While FIcHt Rages Across Border Diaz Troops Suffer Heavy Loss In Killed and Wounded. Douglas, Ariz. Victory crowns the 1,000 insurrectos defending Agua Prieta, the Mexican town just across the border from this plnco after an all-day fight, tlio most sanguinary con flict of the Mexican revolution. The desperate effort of tho 1.6CJ Mexican national troops under Lieu, tenfant Colonol Diaz to retake tho city has failed and tho federals havo sut fered heavy losses In killed and woundod. So far as Douglas wa concerned President Taft's demand that hostilities bo conducted in a zone insuring safoty to the Ameri cans was utterly disregarded. Throughout tho battle bullets rained Incessantly in tho streets and riddled the liousea of this llttlo Arizona town. Tho only rollablo data of casualties that can bo obtained on tho American side of the lino wore seven American men and women havo been wounded, most of them whilo going about their business many blocks north of tho supposed border line. The wounded in Douglas are being cared for at Rod Cross hospitals, established for Mexican wounded. A protest has been wired to Presi dent Taft by Mayor McGuiro as fol lows: "Six persons have been shot in Douglas during battle botween Mexican federals and insurrectos. Battle atlll raging. Worst yet to come. Bullets falling all over city. Cannot something be- don for our population? Signed, S. F. McGulrc, mayor of Douglas." Simultaneously with this protest. T,Ieut. Col. William A. Shunk, com manding tho United States troops here, wired a list of known to be wounded in this city. Public senti ment is rapidly reaching the danger point, and ono newspaper has open ly called for intervention In Mexico. From four o'clock in the afternoon tintil lato In the night It was not safe on any street in Douglas for people, mauser bullets striking residences, business blocks, smelters, railroad shops and cars and cuttlng-wlrcs and ricochcttlng from felegraph and tele phono poles. And military authorities Tiero cay tho worst is yet to come. In stead of fighting tho battle in the des ert as they proposed tho rebels in trenched in and around Agua Prieta In such fashion as to make hopeless Douglas immune from bullets, and tho federal army instead of attacking from tho east; or west as bus been promised advanced from tho south west, which placod Douglas much in the same situation as tho background of a target. American troops did everything pos sible to protect the unfortunate Doug las residents. Spectators wore drlvon "back from tho boundary lino a dis tance of six blocks, but notwithstand ing all their efforts several persons wero wounded. Tho inhabitants of Douglas, desplto tho obvious danger, overo not to bo denied tho spectaclo of battle. They crowded the roofs in vast throngs and darkened every point of vantage throughout the long hours of conflict That more were not wounded la surprising, but that any wero wound ed t nil leaves Washington vith n gravo problem to faco. So far as can "be determined when dusk stopped tho fighting tho rebel loss was trilling, consisting of several score wounded nnd about 20 doad, whilo tho federal losses aro estimated at more than 200 Tn all particulars tho battle was n thrilling and dramatic novelty In this war of outposts. It began with tho first rays of dawn nnd continued at In tervals throughout the day, marked by foroclous and determined battling on both sides and by a quality of valor not expected or hitherto displayed In this desultory Internal war. The po sitions of tho rebels throughout was that of the defensive. Protected by lntrcnchmcnts they exacted a hitter price from tho federal forces instead of an ineffective- clash," usually cli maxed by hurried retreat, Tho fight was a stnndup battle on the sido of tho federals, suggcstlvo of tho old shoulder to shoulder days of tho American rebellion. In an open stretch of desert, llttlo llko a theater, Tiy tho blazing days of an April sun, the two forces exchanged a perpetual fusillade, hour after hour, that marked j up a conflict of exceptional ferocity i and determination. Throughout tho night tho Mexican troops had been enenruped at Sulphur Springs, a wa ter hole flvo miles south of Agua Prieta. Under ronimand of Lieut. Col. Porflrio Diaz, cousin of tho presi dent himself, tho troops had vowed to rovenge the descent of "Ited" Lopez nnd his command on Agua Prieta.

R. 1S4, which wns passed with the omcrgoncy clnuso, Is now in effect.

Tho bill has for ono of Its objects tho extending of tho term of county assessors one year so that they as ex perienced officers tuny bo able to val ue real estnto during tho Inst year of their term. It nover occurred to tho county assessors who asked for ono moro year of salary to change tho law so as to assess real estate this year.

Another cliango In tho present law 1,3 one requiring precinct assessors to make return from tlmo to time, as tho returns are ready, instead of "on or before tho laHt Monday In Mny." Tho county assessor is empowered to roviso and make up tho assessment hooks.

Boston, Mass. Robert Emerson )nvlo, who was familiarly known about Boston, Mass., as the "boyj broker," nnd who suddenly disappear ed lato In November, leaving behind! him many pooplo who aro said to have lost upwards of $300,000 through en trusting their money to hlB care for Investment, has boen arrested in Ilia do Janeiro, Brazil, nnd will be brought back to this city. Tho caroer of Davie furnishes ono ot tho most sensational chapters in local "high finance," for ho not only obtained tho confidence of many people in ordinary walks of life, but also of business men of wealth, prominent in public Ufo and the best financial standing. Not a few of theso well known men ot Boston nnd Massachusetts, with two or three! of International reputation, are saldj to have boon among his victims. i Davie had a fine suit of offices In Boston, an attractive apartment nt Brookllne, Mass., and a partly finished!

He discussed the prophr cts ct the Bible with almost as much fluency uh he did tho profits of hU brokerage Investments and with equal ly telling effect upon his .ministerial and othor religiously iucliued friends. Among Davie's friends in tho rolls' lous flold was the Rev. Wilbur R. Chapman, D. D tho evangelist. Dnvle's deceptions and unfair deal ings aro said to have had a much wider scopo than tho stock market, especially during the latter part of fill stay In Boston and when ho is be lieved to havo boon bard pressed for monoy. On this latter point, however, opinions differ, somo claiming that ho lost about all that he had obtained nnd others alleging that ho left with a largo amount ot cash. A short tlmo boforo ho dlsoppearert, Davlo hlrod tin nutomoblle ot a Boa ton garage and paid $125 in advance for a week's rental before taking It to Now York, whoro it disappeared.
