ing definite had been stated about an
excursion and he had not heard
whether any arrangements had been
made.
I'VE want the celebration held
here" said Mr.. Marks. IF anyone
wants to go to Ogden it will be all
right. We can run general excur-
sion there some future time. At
present, however, it will be wise for
us all to stay at home and observe
the day in good style. l say, let us
all get in and have o good red hot

July"

was unanimously carried.
The matter of going TO Ogden was
next discussed. Manager Welshons
of the baseball team stated that the
team would also play in Salt Lake.
He stated no arrangements had been
made for an excursion, however.

people had entertained the Ogden
team when it played here last and
that as far as he had learned no one
was trying to get up an excursion.
He wanted to see celebration in
Ely and sincerely hoped the town
would have good one. He believed
the biggest celebration should be
held on Labor day.
Mr.. Marks stated he knew no trou-
BILE would be experienced in raising
funds and that he for one would vol
unteer to help solicit. He said he
believed in celebrating the Fourth
in Ely all day long.

could probably keep them from
breaking into the balloon house and
cutting another bag, any fellow who
knows his business could stand 200
or 800 feet away from the balloon
some afternoon while it was near the
ground ready for a trip with pas
sengers, and cut it by sailing a piece
of glass swiftly against it. 1t is
trick that has been done hundreds of
times and every balloon man knows
that the best thing he can do when
someone is trying to keep him from
operating is to quit, beca ,se there
are twenty ways they can get you.
The fellow that cut my balloon last
night knew what he was doing, for
he knew just how and where to cut
the bag so that it would be hardest
for me to reapir it, if | was foolish
enought to try to patch it up"
Manager Halvorsen of the Salt
Palace said last night that he was
doing all in his power to find out who
cut the balloon, but that the case
seemed extremely difficult.

Japanese CIassed as ''MongoIians.' -

LOS ANGELES, June 21.-The ia
panese in the Los Angeles public
schools have been officially classified
as "Mongolians" notwithstanding
their objection to such classification.
Superintendent Keppel has just
put them In under that heading In

had the government allowed him any
option in the matter, which it did
not. The blank furnished for the

HUNDRED
Laborers Reported Killed
In an Encounter With
Government Troops
CHILE NITRATE WORKS
HEAD TO COME

HEAD TO COME YET
Washington, Dec. 23.-Accordlng
to advices received at the state de-
partment today from Consul Hanna
at Iquique, Chile, 200 laborers en-
ployed near there in the nitrate works
were killed on Saturday and Sunday
in an encounter with the government
troops.
For a week or more there has been
trouble of an economic character be
tween the men and their employers,
which resulted in a strike. On Satur-
day the men TO the number of sew
eral thousand came into Iquique and
attempted TO take possession of the
town. The troops were called into
service and when the rioters refused
10 dlsperse the soldiers we're ordered
10 fire on them, which they did with
machine guns, causing much loss OF
life. On the following day, which
was Sunday, the strikers again as
sembled in Plaza Prat, and listened
to incendiary speeches by their lead
ers denouncing their employers and
encouraging attack upon the govern
ment.
Another bloody encounter ensued
In which may OF the workmen were
killed and injured. II is also report
ed that some OF the soldiers were
injured. but details cannot be OBJ
tained owing TO the strict censorship
maintained. The Chilean govern
ment,S according to the departments
advices at the time the dispatch was
sent was preparing two cruisers and
a transport with soldiers to 10 to
the scene OF the disturbances.
Although the situation is serious IL
is believed that the government will
be able 20 handle d successfully.
The nitrate deposits are leased by
the Chilean government chiefly to
British and German companies which
employ the native population almost
with the exception OF
oyerseers and foremen. 50 far as
known no American interests are In
yolved, although II is believed that
some Americans are employed in the
OF superintendent and in
executive positions, II is not likely
therefore that an American warship
will be sent to Iqu'que. The WASH

Sebree's special service
passed up the Chilean coast
week ago and are now In Mexican
waters. The nearest ship Is the gun
boat Albany. which Is now at Pan
INA, but as she is small boat. would
DO OF little service II the trouble
'hould continue to be serious.
Although the striho is said to be
,ased on economic questions there is
iome fear that II may take q politi-
al turn, az some Of the leaders have |
been advocating q revolution.

CUBAN CENSUS
VIII Require Three or Four Months
to Complete.

Havana, Dec. 23-Despite the Opt
mistic predictions regarding the cen.
sus. II is not likely that II will be
completed before three or four
months. which will accordingly bring
the elections In April or May, which
Is very much later than is desired by
the politicians.
When Secretary Taft was here last
April he outlined program involving
the taking of the census, after which
the first elections were to be held. II
was then said that the taking OF the
census would occupy four or Ave
months. Already eight months have
gone since the taking Of the census
commenced.
The numerators have finished their
work, and the returns are now being
tabulated In Havana Of the various
municipalities and barrios. These VIII
be returned when completed. TO the
local election boards and publicly
posted, which will give electors an op-
portunity to voice objections II they
wish. Then the returns will be sent
back to Havana and made up into reg
istration lists. which will govern the
elections.
Considerable anxiety exists regard
ing the proportion OF voters to the pop
ulations. The present Indications are
that It will be one TO four. which is
enormous, considering that 100000
foreigners in the island are disqua'i-
fed from voting.
