TROUBLE AT GREAT COPPER
MINES AT CANAREA,
SONORA, MEX.
K Mexicans On q Payday
Drunk Attack Amerfcans-Armed
Men From Arizona and Mexican
Rurales Hurry to Scene and Re-
store Order.

Brisbee, Ariz., June 5-Trouble at the
copper mines at Cananea, state OF So
nora, Mexico, between American and
Mexican miners, resulted in serious
loss of life.
The Mexican miners demanded an
increase of wages, and the manager
Of the mines, Col. bill" Greene, made
a speech, which was not satisfactory,
and the Mexicans started rioting.
They attacked the American miners,
taking them unawares. But more Mex
leans died than Americans. When the
news was received here, armed men
gathered at the border, and were ad-
mitted into Mexico by Gov. Ysabel Of
Sonora. They hurried to the scene Of
trouble, and with the Mexican rurales
(troOps) restored order.
The ~ringleaders of the rioters took
to the hills.
The American consul at Cananea
appealed to Washington for assistance,
and Washington intimated to the Mex
lean government to protect Ameri-
cans. Hysterical reports by CORE
spondents, and the rush of tenderfeet
to get away from the scene of trouble,
lent a vivid color to affairs for awhile.
The summary shows that during the
two days fighting thirty-six Mexicans
were killed and only six Americans.

ALFONSO BELIEVES HE
WILL BE ASSASSINATED

Madrid, June 5.-King Alfonso has
expressed his belief that he will yet
die by the hand of an assassin. Sc
many attempts have been made to kill
him, that, like the unfortunate Boad-
dill ell Chico, he has resigned himself
to his fate.
The American envoy to the royal
wedding, Frederick w. Whitridge, and
his suite. had an opportunity for a
brief conversation with King Alfonso
during the reception at the palace.
When the conversation naturally
turned to the attempt on the king and
queen, King Alfonso shrugged his
shoulders and made the following sig
nificant statement, showing how he
views the future:
Eyes, fortunately, it was unsuccess-
full; but it will come again. 1t may be
any time-perhaps tomorrow, per-
haps within a month, perhaps within
a year-but it will come"
The face of the king wore a look OF
calm resignation as he gave this fore
cast of the future.

MUENTER HEARD FROM
HOWARD PROFESSOR WHOSE
WIFE DIED MYSTERIOUSLY.
Writes n Pamphlet and Mails q Copy IN
New Orleans to His Wife's
Relatives.

Chicago, June 6.-Erich Muenter,
the Harvard instructor, whose wife
died April Is in Boston under mys-
ferrous circumstances, has been heard
from. The relatives of his wife Tues
day received a pamphlet unquestion-
ably written by him and mailed from
New Orleans.
sThe document, which consists Of
several thousand words, is entitled
"Proest," and although it is unsigned,
it is evident that it was written by
Muenter.
AS an introduction several hundred
words are devoted to a b%urlesque &C
count of a supposed death, and then
follows an extended criticism of those
who have written and talked about
him. AS a last word in his own de-
Tense, Muenter says:
"And If my fellow men call this
spend the rest of my days on my
knees and beg the mercifuI Father
I'm Heaven to take away all the
rest, If need be, but to leave me my
Insanity"

B0MB-THROWER DEAD
KILLED HIMSELF WHEN ESCAPE
WAS IMPOSSIBLE.
His Body Identified By the Man
From Whom He Rented
q Room.

Madrid, June 5.-The wretch who
slaughtered a score of fellow-beings in
Gale Mayor, Thursday. in an attempt
to murder the king and queen of
Spain, is dead by his own hand, after
adding another crime to the list be-
fore he died. He killed himself In the
village Of Torrejon De Ardoz, about
fifteen miles from Madrid.
Saturday afternoon he went to the
railway station and asked what time
the next train left for Saragossa. On
being told there was nc train until the
night mail he entered an inn and Or
dered a meal. He did not taste the
food, however, but sat restless and Ill
at ease. His hunted, forlorn appear
ance raised a suspicion that he was .
fugitive from justice. Among tho
guests was a man named Reyes, who
conferred with the landlord and they
communicated with the rural police.
Thereupon a gendarme named Vega
went to the inn, aocosted the stranger
and asked whether he had papers Of
Identification. The reply being in the
hCSdtifC, IhO SCh0dl IN Sdi0s 1Oo
must come with me-"
VIVA fOr?" queried the man.
you'll see at the police Office" the
gendarme responded. The stranger
arose, walked to the street, closely
followed by Vega, who had only gone
a few yards when the prisoner made
some remark to the gendarme and
pointed across the street. Vega turned
to look, w%hereupon the prisoner drew
a revolver, shot the gendarme dead
and started to run; but he vas so a
the inn that it's occupants, who had
seer all, fell upon him. Seeing that es-
cape was hopeless, he turned the re-
volver upon his breast, fired and fell
across Vegas body.
The authorities at Madrid were in
formed of the circumstances, and
some hours later officials went to Lor-
rejon to investigate. They returned
to Madrid, bringing the body on the
train. The proprietor of the place
where the assassin had rented a room
was summoned, and declared the body
was that of the tenant of the room
from which the bomb was thrown,
and the police identified it as that Of
Mateo Morales. At first there was a
desire to bury it at Torrejon de Ar
dos, but when this was suggested the
villagers Indignantly refused to per-
NIT the body to repose in their town.

ATTEMPT ON THEIR LIVES
Couples Carriage-Twenty People
Killed and Sixty Wounded.

Madrid, June 1.-While the royal
couple were on their way from the
church to the palace a bomb, concealed
in a boquet Of flowers, was thrown in
front Of the carriage occupied by the
royal couple.
The king and queen escaped unhurt,
Twenty people were killed and
sixty injured. Many of the killed
were members of the personal and
military escort of the royal couple.
An electric wire detected the course
of the bomb, and doubtless preserved
their lives.
The king and queen remained cool.
Alighting from the carriage, which
was badly damaged, the king assisted
the queen, and entered another and
were driven to the palace.
The scene of the tragedy presented
a horrid spectacle with men and
horses lying about, literally torn to
pieces. The pavement was literally
covered with blood, AMI the upper
stories of the buildings nearest were
spattered with 1t.
The place from which the bomb was
hurled was taken, May %, by a man
from Barcelona who gave the name of
Moral.
When the police surrounded the
house one man attempted to flee, but
was captured. Another man escaped
over the roofs of houses.

The MESSAGE,

President says: This report is OF a
preliminary nature. l submit 1t to you
now because it shows the urgent need
of immediate action by the congress
in the direction of providing a drastic
and thorough-going inspection by the
federal government of all stock yards
and packing houses and of their prod
ucts, so far rs The latter enter into
interstate or foreign commerce. The
conditions shown by even this short
inspection to exist in he. Chicago
stock yards are revolving. 1t is i'm
peratively necessary in the interest of
health and deceny that they should be
radically changed.
Before l had received the report Of
Messrs. Reynolds and Neill, l had d.
rected that labels placed upon any
package of foOd products should state
only that the carcass of the animal
from which the meat was taken had
been inspected at the time of slaugh-
ter. If inspection of meat-fOOd prod
ucts at all stages Of preparation is not
secured by the passage of the legisla-
ton recommended. l shall feel COM
PEELED to order that inspection labels
and certificates on canned products
shall not be used hereafter.
Under existing law the national gov
eminent has no power to enforce in
spection Of the many forms of pre-
pared meat-food products that are
daily going from the packing houses
into interstate commerce., and, owing
to an inadequate appropriation. the
department of agriculture is not even
able to place inspectors in all estab-
lishments desiring them. The present
law prohibits the shipment of unin-
spected meat TO foreign countries, but
there is no provision f%orbidding the
shipment of uninspected meats in in
terstate commerce, and thus the i've
nues of interstate commerce are left
open 70 traffic in diseased or spoiled
meats. If, as has been alleged on seem
ingly good authority, further evils eX-
list, such as the improper use of chem
icals and dyes, the government lacks
power to remedy them. A law is need
ed which will enable the inspectors of
the general government to inspect and
supervise lIOlu TIC HOOl " 1C al
the preparation of the meat-food
product. The evil seems to be much
less in the sale of dressed
than in the sale of canned and pre-
pared products.
In my Judgment the expense of in
spection should be paid by a fee levied
on each animal slaughtered. If this
Is not done the whole purpose of the
law can at any time be defeated
through an insufficient appropriation.
If no legislation is passed, then the
excellent results accomplished by the
work of this special committee will en-
dure only so long as the memory Of
the committees work is fresh, and a
recurrence of the abuses is absolutely
certain.

SYNOPSIS OF REPORT

Starting with the conditions in the
yards, they say the pavements are
mostly of brick. which invariably fill
with manure and refuse, so that they
cannot be properly cleaned, and are
"slimy and ~malodorous when wet,
yielding clouds Of illsmelling dust
when dry" Calves, sheep and hogs
that have died en- route are thrown
on the platforms, and the only excuse
the investigators heard given for de-
lay in removal was the expense.
The interior of the buildings they
found to be mostly constructed of
wood. The floors, usually of wood,
were soaked and Shiny and the rooms
poorly lighted and lily ventilated.
Many of the inside rooms where food
is prepared are without windows, and
are described as vaults where the
air rarely changes"
Systematic ventilation was not
found In any of the establishments
they visited. During the entire inves-
tigation they saw but a single porce-
1ain-lined receptacle for meats.
Sanitary Convenience.
Taking up the subjects of sanitary
conyeniences for the men and women
employees, the report says nothing
elbows more strikingly the general in
difference to matters of cleanliness
and sanitation. The retiring rooms

inc cut off from the latter by a low
