SLAUGHTER ENDS THE
MEXICAN MILL STRIKE
Riot and Arson Follow Textile
Workers Rejection Of Terms.
TROOPERS SHOOT TO Kill

Refuse to Accept President DiaZ's Ar
bitration Decision and Ply Torch
at Orizaba - Loot and Burn
Mills Store. .'
City of Mexico, Mexico.-Torch and
sword, riot and %bloodshed, have
marked the stamping out by the Mex
lean Government Of the great textile
strike, which has spread over all of
the manufacturing districts of the
republic since November 25. Thirty
or more strikers, it is reported, have
been killed, and eighty wounded by
soldiers in su%ppressing the rioting in
Rio Blanco and Orizaba, State of
Vera Cruz.
Only meagre information has come
from Orizaba since the city authori-
ties telegraphed that 1000 mill en-
the award of President Diaz, who
has acted as mediator, and began riot
ing. The War Department was re-
quested to send assistance, and two
regiments were hurried to the scene.
The rioters pillaged the mill COM
pany's store, burned the buildings
and threatened to destroy the manu-
featuring plant.
Emboldened by their success the
strikers, after burning the company
stores at Rio Blanco, marched to No
gales, another mill town, and cut tel
egraDh, telephone and electric light
wires. When they opened the jail and
liberated the prisoners, residents of
the town fed.
A mill official and n gendarme
attempted to check the rioters and
the Mayor of Orizaba was wounded
in the skirmish. Troops reached ORR
zaba at this juncture and fired into
the mob when it attempted to resist.
All who we're killed fell under this
one volley. At another point several
hundred strikers assembled on the
railroad track and held up a train.
the engineer being afraid to u down
the crowd. Soldiers charged the mob
with broadswords.
Jails and armories are filled with
imprisoned strikers. The Govern
ment is pursuing agitators who lave
left Orizaba for other mill towns to
incite rebellion against Diaz's settle
ment.
Eduardo Garcin, a citizen Of
France, now resident in that country,
is the largest loser by the rioting.
From a walk-out of a few textile
workers in the city of Puebla on No
vember 25, the strike spread rapidly
over the country, involving ~ifty-three
mills, but so peacefully that little at
tention was attracted. Twenty-eight
thousand workers were out when
President Diaz and Secretary Of the
Interior Corral undertook arbitration.
1t was expected their award would be
accepted, until the Rio Blanco strik-
ers rejected it with violence.

THE SHAH OF PERSIA DEAD
Eldest Son Succeeds to the
Throne at Teheran.
The New Shah Was Born in 1872 and
is Literally Educated in
French and English.

Teheran, Persia. - Official an
nouncement of the death of the Shah
was made from the Office of the grand
vizier. The news was received
quietly.
The heir apparent and the Minis.
tiers were summoned. The women Of
the palace also began preparations
for mourning.
Soon after sunset the doors of the
harem yer closed. This vas the
sign that all was over.
MuZafar-ed-Din. late Shah of Per-
STA. was born at Teheran March Is,
1853, and succeeded his father, Nasr-
ed-Din, on the death of the latter on
May /, 1896. Muzaffar-ed-Din was
the second son of Nasr-ed-Din, but
had been appointed heir to the
throne. Previous to his accession he
was Governor-General of the Prov
ince of Azorbaijan, his elder brother,
Masud-Mirza, being Governor of Tsp
ahan. Nasr-ed-Din was assassinated
in the mosque of Abdul Aim. near
Teheran. While Muzaffar-ed-Din as
cended the throne the same day, it
was not until June 8 following that
he was formally invested with sover-
eign power.
The late Shah visited Europe in
1900, and while in Paris an unsuc-
cessful attempt upon his life was
made by an anarchist. He again went
to Europe in 1902, visiting Germany,
England, France and Russia. In
1905 he made another European trip,
visiting the Car at st. Petersburg.
Long before that reports were cir
culated that the Shah was suffering
from me%lancholia. He had a fainting
spell owing to the heat while In
Paris July 6, 1905, and in February,
1906, it was reported that he had a
stroke of apopleXy. Last May he
was again reported seriously i'll.
Last August, as the result of long
continued agitation and many dis
t%urbances of a serious nature, the
Shah granted a constitution to Per-
STA, with a national Assembly and
other reforms.
The late Shah leaves many chill
dren, and is succeeded on the throne
by his eldest son, Mohammed Ali
Mira, until now Governor of the
Province of Azorbaijan.
The new Shah was born in 1872.
He has shown strong force Of charac-
ter and marked energy and ability
He is a devoted sportsman, being par
ticularly attached to motoring and
hunting, and he received an excellent
education, both Persian and Euro
pean.
Muzaffar-ed-Din's fortune Is re-
ported to amount to s10,000,000,
most Of it represented by diamonds,
the largest, the Derya-i-Nur, Of 1876
carats, and the Taj-i-Mah, of LAG
carats, being amongthe crown jewels.

STATE As PLAINTIFF
TRIES TO DUST MAYOR
New York's New Attorney General
Brings Suit Against Mcclellan.
RESULT MAY SEAT HEARST
Jackson in His Petition Calls Present
Incumbent Usurper Of Office
Clarence j. Shearn Made Special
Deputy to Try the Case.

Albany, N. Y. - Acknowledgement
Jackson, under Section 194S of the
Code of Civil Procedure, has begun a
quo warranto proceeding on his own
motion to test Mayor McClellan's IT,
tie to his Office. Thus he avoids JUS
tice Fits writ Of prohibition, granted
in the quo w%arranto action started
upon the application of W. R. Hearst.
The section of the code applicable
permits a quo Warranto action to be
commenced upon the application Of
the claimant candidate, but the At
torney-General need not wait for an
outside application and may COM
mence an action upon his own mo-
ton. In view of Justice Fits pro-
hibitive order, the Acknowledgement
decided to act under the alternative
provision of the code permitting him
to begin an action without the inter-
vention of a private person.
The summons and complaint was
served upon Mayor Mcclellan, and
the Attorney-General at once appoint
ed Clarence J. Shearn, Mr.. Hearst's
personal counsel, as a special attor-
ney to prosecute the action.
Mayor Mcclellan. has twenty days
in which to answer the complaint,
and he may ask for an additional
twenty days at the expiration of that
time, and then he may get a further
twenty days in which to file an
amended answer, so that Mr.. Shearn
figures that the issues would be
framed so that the case can get into
court within a couple of months. Mr..
Hearst's counsel figures that e
while commissioners could be ap-
pointed to count the ballots. This
action on the part of Attorney-Gen-
eral Jackson has the same effect as
though he had : heard arguments
upon the original Hearst quo war
ranto application filed on New Years
Day and had decided upon permit
ting the action to be brought.
The effect of Attorney-General
Jackson's bringing this action upon
his own motion makes the costs Of
the proceedings, in case Mr.. Hearst
loses on a recount, a State charge,
whereas if the action was brought
lpon Mr.. Hearst's first application
Mr.. Hearst would have had to give a
bond to stand the costs of the suit.
Il he lost the suit it Is estimated it
would have cost him thousands of
dollars.

TO CLOSE CARLISLE SCHOOL.
Senate SUBJ Committee Strikes Out
the Appropriation For 1t.

Washington, D. C.-Carlisle Insti-
tute, which was established at Car
Isle, Pa, in 1879, for the higher ed
ucation of the Indian, may be abol-
ished. The subcommittee of the
Senate Committee on Indian Affairs
has agreed to report an amendment
to the Indian Appropriation bill
striking out the appropriation for
this school. They say that a school
so far away from Indian reservations
is not 80 effective as the Western in
stitutions, and that not many Indians
have benefited by the higher educa-
ton.
The appropriation bill, as it passed
the House, carried S169,000 for the
support of the school for the year.

COURT UPHoLDs STOCK TAX.
Decision Throws About 100000
Into New York Treasury.

Washington, D. c. Throwing
about $1,000, 900 a year into New
York States Golfers, the United States
Supreme Court ruled that States
Stock Transfer Tax law was not un-
constitutional, and therefore the rev.
snues intended to be raised under 1t
must be paid. 1t OVERRIDE one by n
Ill the objections to the statute made
by Albert J. Hatch, q Connecticut
broker, shedding interesting light on
The inaccuracy of his contention that
the law interfered with interstate
commerce and that it was against the
constitution because it taxed alike
stocks of different values. The result
Of the decision is that a legal stamp
must be affixed to every transfer Of
stock made in New York, and the
Income of the State Is increased by a
fat amount. New York's own Court
81 Appeals sustained the law, and
now the dispute has been settled by
the highest Federal tribunal.
