.{dE BEE: OMAHA SATL APRIL 1 'RDAY, State Department Advices Indicate Latter Has Slight Advantage in Big Fight at Celaya. CARRANZA REPORT IS SPECIFIC WASHINGTON, April 16.-—Consul Silliman, at Vera Cruz, cabled the State department today a summary of the Carranza reports of a victory by General Obregon over the Villa forces near Celaya. Rout of the Villa army, with the capture of thirty pigees of artillery and many prisoners are claimed. ftate department officers are awaiting statements from both sides before accepting the result claimed by either, Later the department recelved advices from Irapuato saying hostilities at Ce- laya were still in progress, with slight edvantage on the side of the Vallaistas who, the department announced, have completely surrounded the city and cut the rallroad behind the Carranzaistas. The Carranza agency made public a telegram from Carranza quoting General Obregon’s report on thirty-six hours of fighting at Celaya. Obregon announced s complete victory over Villa, who, he #aid, attacked Celaya Wednesday morn- ing at 6 o'clock. with forty-two of his generals and 30,000 men in three armies. After describing his defensive measures, fol'owed by charges and an advance of gharpshooters, the Obregon report said: As moon as this movement was hegun the enemy showed signs of dismay and complete disorganization. Our cavalry charges on the enemy's flank and the at- tecks of our infantry, which was ad- against the enemy’'s flank and front, determined its defeat, and at 1:16 P. m. (April 15) the retreat in great dis- order began, Our soldiers were then on their trenches, causing the enemy a ter- 1ible loss of life. “We have picked up from the field over thirty cannon in perfect condition with ali their munition and beasis of burden; over 5,000 Mauser rifles, and have taken more than 8,00 prisoners and large num- bers of horses, saddles and other war materials, “Our cavalry column s pursuing what is left of the enemy, and I am hopeful that the enemy and such accoutrements as it carriel with it on Its retreat may be captured. “At this time I calculate that the en- emy's losses exceed 14,000 men between dead, wounded and prisbhers. Our losses do not exceed 200 men dead and wounded; among the latter being a colonel and an officer of my staff.” WESTERY GRAIN MEN GATHER IN OMAHA (Continued from Page One.) vancing Smith's remarks were cspgelally Instruc- tive to the graln men from. lowa, who are in the majority in the association. @'he Towa leglslature is now considering a_public warehouse bill. Co-operation is Commended. “T am proud to be an American grain man,” sald Lee G. Metcalt of Illiopolis, 1N, president of the Grain)Dealerx’ Na- tional association. ““Throughout - the chaotic period of businesa since the war, American grain men have steadfastly ad- hered to justice and equity, truth and right in handling grain entrusted to them by the farmers, and have n8t generally fallen victims to the great temptation to take advantage of inflated grain prices, and jump contracts, with resultant loss to other dealers and to the producer.” President Metcalt commended the co- operation among grain men, in the present conventicn, which he de- clared was showing -areful consideration for publie needs, as well os for the good of the trade, The grain men must ever consider thor welfare ena happiness of their fellow men, he asserted, for the rights and privileges of the public must aiways be placed above the rights and privileges of the grain dealer. “The last twenty-five sears have secn (many weeks of skillful maneuvering and | belleved by his friend wonderful improvement in the grain trade, and it is largely due to the co- | operation “and orgamze effort of the dealers,” he said. “Put the grain busi- ness on an even higher ctter and more aseful plane,” he urged. He invited the Vigiting grain men to -join the National s fation, if they hal not already done and he also extended an invitation tor all to attend th national conven- tion at Peoria next October.

Thirty Years in Senate. Nelson Wilmarth Aldreen held a seat In the United Stgies senate continuously from 1881 to Iv1l. The influence exerted by him on government affalrs was best illustrated by the fact that when he was satirically introduced to an audience as {‘the general manager of the United States,” that appellation lived through the administrations of McKinley, Roose- velt and Taft Probably the greatest parliamentarian that ever served in the senate, Mr. Ald- rich had no difficulty in maintaining {leadership of his party. Although known among the veterans as a ‘‘committee” jserator, he was quite as much at home on the floor, and naturally was more in jevidence in the larger arena. While he gave special attention to the tariff and financlal legislation n committee, on the senate floor his ear was open for all that was sald on any suhbject of ®eneral im- portance. He seldom failed to partici- Pate in the discussion of any measure af- fecting governmental polices. Naturally Mr. Aldrich's long-continued |supremacy in the counsels of his party iand in directing- legisiation caused him |to become the subject of mubh adverse criticlém. He was charged with bossism and with belng the tool of the “inter- ests.” Whether or not this was true in the main, it can be kald in fairness that gome of these asserticns gained and held currency because it was his policy never to defend himself against published at- tacks.

' Having begun his career as a business Senator Aldrich continued through- Ms public service to display business- methods ard extraordinary capacity |for organization.

The Payne-Aldrich tariff act was en- | sineered through the senate by him after hard fightins. Puashes Aldrich-Vreeland BiIL | Mr. Aldrich wgs always ready to seize upon any trend of public business to (advance legislative causes in which he | was interested. The “bankers' panic” of plan to bring about monetary ieforms. |tion was the Vreeland-Aldrich emergency {currency law f 1908 put tlirough the |senate by Aldrich after an historic fili buster .directed by Mr. La Folette, the | progressive republican from Wisconsin | Who was alded by Mr. Stone of Missour & democrat. Sharp parliamentary tactics enabled Mr. Aldrich to bring the bill to a final vete, but in taking Mr. La Follette off lis feet Mr. Aldrich made an enemy who was relentles in his opposition dur- |ing many sisbsequent legislative cuntests. The emergency currency law was re- |garded by Mr. Aldrich as the best remedy | possible of speedy enactment, but he d'd not stop there. He began work {mealately upon a more permanent lof currency reform, giving most of his im- ,time to the work of the National Mone- ' |tary commission. He was able to devote ihis time unreservedly to his work be- cause in 1911 he declined to be a candi- |date for re-election, giving ! health as | |a reason. Trip Through West Unsuccesaful, | Mr. Aldrich’s friends contended that his effort to revise the currency system of the country was approached in an ab- solute nonpartisan way. He was ex- | ceedingly anxious that his work should stand up as a monument to his public | service. His disappointment was when in 1911 his party lost control of the house and took from the republicans the {credit of putting through this far-reach ing leglslation. Before the political com- plexion of congress changed Mr. Aldrich was compelled to admit that his efforts were being frustrated by antagonistic sentiment In the central west. Mr. Ald- rich then undertook a speech-making trip with the avowed fntention of eradi- cating hostllity to himself and his pro- Ject. Although he bad large audiences of b ers and business men, his mission was far from successful “Why is not our plan taken at face value?' he asked a friend. He recelved a frank answer. “You have spent your vacations In Burope. You have not studied the peo- ple. Your perous business man. You are seeking too late In life to know the people.” After his retirement from public life Mr. Aldrich spent much of his ti in travel, but he continued to follow busk After chatting with him about ten min- | Ten | made | 11907 enabled him to. glve impetus to his | | The first froit of his labors in this dire- ' plan | keen | nguage is that of the pros- | | ness affairs, He saw many of his ideas on the subject of currency enacted by | the democrats and, although the new law |41d not bear his name, it is known to a |large extent he approved of what was done BOMBS DROPPED WITHIN THIRTY MILES OF LONDON (Continued from Page One.) trifling damage done during the night raids of Wednesday and Thursday being cited in justification of this feeling.
