KILLED WHILE ASLEEP,
Rurales Enlist with Bandits as Confed-
crates and Then Shoot Them
When Off Guard.

MEXICO CITY. July 1S.-Details of
the killing of the famous bandit, Ceno-
bio Rodriguez, lei Jorabado," and his
two companions, Antonio and Policarpo
Reyes, have just reached here. The ban
dts are charged with the killing of II.
S. Jones, an American, and with many
other crimes, and were shot while they
slept. Three rurales sent out to capture Eel
Jorabado and his gang made a mock at
tack on a Hacienda near which the
robbers were encamped The latter took
the supposed recruits in. These watched
and travelled with the bandits for five
days, awaiting the chance to catch the
real robbers off guard and execute the
orders of the governor of the state of
Durango to take the men dead or alive.
Finally the bandits. who had been sus-
picious of the recruits, relaxed their Wig
lance and went to sleep together. The
rurales promptly shot them to death.

LEADERS WILL CONFER
WESTERN REPUBLICANS TO MEET
CHAIRMAN HITCHCOCK.
Conference Is Arranged at Colorado
Sprirgs-Chicago May Be Cen

CHICAGO, ILL.,, July 1S.-Frank II.
Hitchcock, chairman of the Republican
national committee, left Chicago at 9:15
a. H., today over the Chicago, Rock Is
land & Pacific railroad for Colorado
Springs, where he is to confer with west
ern Republican leaders on Monday and
Tuesday. He was accompanied by
James L. Williams, Jr., and Fletcher
Maddox, solicitor for the internal rev.
enue bureau, who is the new national
committeeman from Montana.
All Of the members of the national
committee and all of the chairmen of the
state committees from west of the Mis-
souri, river, except three men, are expect
ed to be present at the Colorado Springs
conference. In addition there will be
present a number of other prominent
western Republicans.
Although there has been no decision
reached permitting positive announce
ment as to where the principal Republic
an headquarters are to be, sentiment III
favor of Chicago being made the active
working center is growing. The prOba-
bility is that Chairman Hitchcock will
divide his attention between the east
and the west, spending much of his time

ing either his permanent headquarters.

BRYAN GETS THANKS
MANY CONGRATULATE HIM UPON
LABOR STAND.
Commoner Emphasizes Planks in Denver
Platform Before Central Union
of Lincoln, Neb.

FAIRVIEW, LINCOLN, Neb., July
1S.-William j. Bryan's speech Of last
night to the members Of the Central La
Dor union Of Lincoln, in which he empha-
sized the labor planks Of the Denver
platform, has resulted in the receipt to-
day of a large number Of kilograms from
labor leaders all over the country con
graduating him on his utterances
The dispatch from Erie, Pa, quoting
Samuel Gompers as denying that he
sent cablegram to William r. Hearst
which resulted in the latter's denouncing
the Democratic party, has attracted con-
siderable attention at Fairview.
There is no disposition TO question Mr..
Gompers' statement, but on the contrary
there is every reason to believe that an
inquiry already has been set on foot to
ascertain, if possible, the author of the
cablegram credited to Mr. Gompers.
The organization Of negro Democratic
clubs III the states Of Indiana Illinois
and Ohio formed the subject of a con-
TersatiOn today between w. j. Bryan
and Don Farnsworth Of Chicago. who
was the manager for Charles A. Towne
IN his candidacy for the vice presidency.
A well directed effort Is to be made by
the Democrats to secure as large a negro
vote rs possible in the middle west and
MIR. FarnswOrth's visit was the result of
suggestions which had been made to him
in Denver by Democratic leaders. The
offer of his services for this purpose was
accepted by Mr.. BRYAN.

WHY RATES INCREASE
COMMERCE COMMISSIONER EX-
PLAINS FREIGHT ADVANCE.
Interstate Board Has Received No Of
fetal Word of the Proposed
Change.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 1S.-The
Interstate commerce commission has thus
far received no official information con-
cerning the proposed general increase
of freight rates.
If the rates made by the railways are
made the subject Of complaint to the
commission, that body of course, would
tnvestigate them. On its own initiative
the commission probably would institute
an inquiry into any general increase to
ascertain whether the rates are reason
Rble and just, but any determination of
such an issue would not be forecasted
by the commission itself.
Chairman Knapp of the commission
In an interview today said: ''Justifica-
tiOn for increase in freight rates, if there
Us to be such an increase, may be found.
If at all. only in the fact that increased
cost of operation and maintenance of
railroads has reached Il point where
reasonable profit on money invested in
them IS not possible from the revenue
they now receive In determining wheth-
er rates are reasonable careful consider
alton is necessary of three factOrs-that
good wages be paid railroad employees;
that present transportation facilities be
kept to a satisfactory standard and that
new facilities be provided to meet ever
increasing demand for them"

treaties at Altar.

VIENNA. July 1S-According to the
Czech newspaper Narodny Lysty, the
Princess Amele Louise of Furstenburg
and Gustav Kozian. an employee of an
automobile firm, with whom she eloped
last May. were married on Tuesday in
the castle chapel ut Kammerberg.
Extraordinary scenes accompanied the
ceremony, preparations for which We're
kept secret KoZiQn arrived an hour be-
fore the ceremony, being admitted by
the back gate to the castle, and donned
the uniform of lieutenant of Dragons
before entering the chapel. The bride S
mother attempted with tears and re-
proaches to persuade the princess to give
up her lover, and Prince Emil of Fur
stenburg her brother, urgently seconded
his mothers appeal.
After entering the chapel the mother
made final appeal, and Princess
Amelie overcome by her emotions, fell
fainting to the floor. When she re-
covered however, she insisted upon go
ing through the ceremony, but was SO
weak she had to be supported

FINDS FOR PLAINTIFF.
Claimant to Estate on a Verbal Agree
ment Gets Verdict in His
Favor.

WAUKESHA, Wis, July 1S.-[Spe-
cial. Judge Griswold found for the
claimant in the matter of the claim of
Herman Claus, West Bend, against the
estate of George Haertel, who was killed
by lightning at DOusman a year ago
Claus made a claim to the entire estate
of Haertel, his only basis for the same
being a verbal agreement with Haertel
that he was to have the property when
the latter died. The claimants testi-
mony, however, was corroborated by sew
eral witnesses
The estate was valued at $4,000 and
consisted of money, notes and mortgages.
Haertel has several relatives in Germany
i'll whose behalf the claim was contested.
An appeal will probably be taken to the
circuit court.

partment Commander Coe of the G. A.
r. has issued an urgent appeal to the
5000 or 5000 veterans Of the Civil war
who reside in Wisconsin, and who are
not members of the Grand Army, to

for the organization to swell its member
ship.
An invitation has been sent to the

Wisconsin delegation of the G. A r. to
the national encampment at Toledo in
September.
Commander Coe has appointed a com

Only Short Distances Covered in Flight
from St. Paul, Mimi, Sat
urday.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, July 20.-AIl the
balloons which started from St Paul
Saturday in an effort to surpass the
worlds distance and endurance record,
have landed.
The Chicago, the largest balloon in
the race, owned by G. a. COey of Chi
cago, came down at noon near Blooming
Prairie, Mimi, about eighty-fve miles
south of st. Paul
The America, which landed at Owa-
tOnna Saturday night, is second in the
distance, with seventy miles. Then fol
lowed the United States, which landed
at West Concord, siXty-two miles; the
Pommern, landing at Warsaw, Mimi,
siXty-one miles, and the King Edward,
which came to the ground early Satur-
day evening at Hampton, Mimi, twenty
one miles.
A. Leo Stevens, director of the race,
in explaining the failure of the aero
nauts to sail greater distances, said that
the lifting power of the gas was not as
great as they had counted on and that
consequently the balloons We're unable
to carry near the amount of ballast nee
essary for long fight.
