RIDERS BRIGHTEN
FARMERS
"SlLENT BRIGADE" MAKES DIRE
THREATS AGAINST TOBACCO
RAlSERS IN INDIANA.

Washington Ind, April 14.-Night
riders are terrorizing land owners and
tenants in the vicinity of Harrman's s
ferry, south of this city. William
Schrolucke, a large tobacco owner in
that neighborhood, reported that 20
men on horses visited all his tenants
and informed them that If they paid
greater rent than one-third of the
crop raised, their crops would be
moved down before they became ripe.
Farming machinery belonging to three
tenants on another farm was de-
stroyed.
Thomas Taylor, wealthy land
owner received by mail a package
containing powder and matches with
a warning note of what ne might ex-
pect if he insisted on one-half crop
rental.
A few days ago a stranger entered
a store at Ivy and asked the mer-
chant for reduced price on all the
carriage whips in stock. This Is taken
to mean that the riders intend to
administer floggings.

ARE KILLED
IN THE RIOT
LEADERS OF TROUBLE IN Goa
HULA, MEXICO, ARE SUM-
MARILY EXECUTED.

City of Mexico, April 14.-The riot
ing at velardena, the big coal mining
camp in the state of Coahuila, last
Sutarday, according to dispatch re-
ceived tonight, was more serious than
at first reported, 80 men being killed
and many injured. The trouble was
instigated by Father Ramon Velen-
Zuela, the parish priest, it is asserted,
who lies near death in hospital.
Fourteen Of the rioters have been
summarily executed by the govern
ment troops and many imprisoned.
Many Americans reside at Velardena,
the camp being controlled by Ameri-
can capital. The leaders of the mob,
which was well organized, avoided
attacking Americans or destroying
American property.
The fighting occurred when the Jefe
Politico of the town, an officer cor
responding to a mayor, attempted to
stop a religious procession headed by
the village priest, Mexican laws for
bidding such parades, A thousand
parishioners followed the priest to
witness the annual burning Of Judas,
and the mob, becoming enraged,
stoned the latter and burned the
house of the jefe. The official es-
capped with his life by climbing a rear
wall and seeking protection in the
American colony.
The rioters then stormed a Chinese
hotel, looting it of all liquors and
foods and terrorizing the neighbor-
hood during the night orgy. The po-
lice force in an effort to restore or
der fired on the mob, many of the
members of which were well armed.
The officers, however, were forced to
retire, leaving six of their number
dead in the street.
Later troops which had been tele-
graphed for arrived on a special train
and fierce fight with the rioters en-
sued.
Father Velenzuela was arrested.
One of his followers succeeded
smuggling in a knife to his cell, and
the priest stabbed himself six times
in a vain attempt to commit suicide
He was discovered by the guards just
in time to save his life

MORE COOPERATION
IS THE PLAN
PROPOSED
GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS DIS
CUSS SCHEME FOR ACCOM-
PLISHiNG RESULTS.

Washington, April 14-The idea OF
a closer relationship between the vari-
Gus departments representing this
government was discussed today at a
conference between Attorney General
Wickersham, Solicitor General Bowers,
Secretary Nagel Of the department OF
commerce and labor, Secretary Ballin-
ger of the interior department. Chair
man Knapp and Commissioner Prouty
of the interstate commerce commits
sion, and Representative Townsend of
Michigan Ten days ago Attorney
General Wickersham indicated to
those who We're present at the con-
ference that he desired to consult with
them concerning President Taft's plan
of bringing the departments closer to-
gether, particularly with respect to
cases involving violations of the anti
trust law. President Taft thinks it
may be possible to frame amendments
to the existing law that will bring
about the desired cooperation.
The discussion was informal. No
reference was made to the letter of
Attorney General Wickersham con-
cerning the Morris Packing company
case now pending before the depart
ment of justice. 1t can be said au-
thoritatively that rumors of friction
between the department of justice and
the interstate commerce commission
are unfounded. Chairman Knapp of
the commission, and Mr.. Lane, in
charge of the prosecution by the COM
mission, unite in declaring that the re-
lations between the commission and
the department of justice are friendly
and that not the least disappointment
is felt by the commission at any ac-
ton taken by the department of jus
tice.
The administration desires to work
out a plan of legislation that will be
satisfactory to the departments con-
cerned.

Special to The Daily Missoulian.
Butte, April 14.-The pool room war
was not resumed today, both sides
resting. No attempt was made to post
any bets, and the interstate" office
did not do any business; the tele-
graph instruments emitted scarcely a
tick. There We're rumors current that
the attorneys for the pool room men
would secure an injunction against
the sheriff and county attorney, but
this fell flat as did the story of a
sensational damage suit for sums ag-
gregating 100000 Developments are
expected tomorrow. by which time it
is believed more definite instructions
will be received from the men who
are really at the head of the concern,
the local men having only an en-
ployes' interest in the matter.

DEMOCRATIC MEMBERS OF SEN.
ATE HOLD LENGTHY SEES.
SION AT CAPITOL.
HARMONY NOT COMPLETE
Some Of the Senators Frankly Admit
They Will Fight for Profession for
Home Industries, and Only Thing an
Agreement Can Be Reached Upon /.
an Income Tax Amendment.

Washington, April 14.-For more
than four hours the democratic mem
bers OF the senate conferred today in
an effort to agree upon a tariff pol
icy After the session Senator Culber-
son, the minority leader, announced
that the democrats had agreed to sup
port an income tax amendment and
to stand for substantial reductions in
schedules and particularly for a de-
crease in the rates on the necessaries
OF life.
The decision is not binding and the
meeting was not entirely harmonious.
Some senators admitted frankly
that they would seek protection for
the industries of their states Senator
Stone spoke in favor Of his program
for independence of the Filipinos
after Is years and absolute free trade
with the islands during that period.
Senator Foster was opposed to free
trade with any of the colonies. Neither
of these senators, it was apparent,
could have obtained a majority of the
democrats for their proposition had a
vote been taken.
Agree Once.
Only on one question was the con-
ference agreed, and that was the in
come tax. The conference adjourned
until Friday as those present agreed
that they were not sufficiently ac-
quainted with the bill to pass judg-
ment intelligently upon it,
While the democrats were in session
NJ nf ha
committee tomorrow were delivered
to the minority members of that com
mittee.
In view of the criticisms made of
the tariff bill as amended by the SEN
ate finance committee, particularly
the observation that the bill will not
produce sufficient revenues, Senator
Aldrich will undertake, on Monday,
satisfactorily to explain the revenue
features of the measure. The senate
committee had the benefit of the ad-
vice of the best experts in the gov
ernmcnt service. These experts de-
clare the bin as amended by the SEN
ate will raise much more money than
appears, and Senator Aldrich still in
sists that no additional internal taxes
win be needed.
Extravaganza Decred.
Great dependence is placed by the
senate lawyers on the work done by
former Senator Hemenway, on behalf
of the new senate committee on pub
lie expenditures. Information is being
collected by him which will be used
in pairing down annual appropriations.
The senate leaders have taken the po-
sition that governmental extravaganza
must cease and it is reported that Mr..
Hemenway will recommend a reduc-
ton of about s35,000,800 from the
s150,0O00 900 of permanent funds and
that like sum may be pruned from
the regular annual appropriations for
the various executive departments.

SUICIDE

Special to The Daily Missoulian.
Butte. April 14.-Tiring of life,
Frank Foley, "a years old, and
native of Michigan, took morphine
and carbolic acid this morning and
was dead a few hours later. He
went about his Preparations with
delberation, first taking a photo
graph of himself to send to his sis
ter, upon which he had written
For the baby. Goodbye forever"
He then went to house in the
rear of the G. O. ID. laundry and
swallowed the poison, being found
unconscious about 10 o'clock. Fo-
ley tried to kill himself once be-
fore, but failed. That he has been
contemplating f-destruction for
some time is evidenced by conver-
sation he had with John Cannon,
a young miner, to whom he showed
the carbolic acid about midnight
and told that he intended to end
it all.

WALDMANN'S HAS A SHOW
THAT WILL DRAW THE CROWDS.

Waldmann's Theatre will undoubted-
ly be crowded all this week, the "Fads
and Follies Company" having made a
big hit at both performances yesterday.
The entertainment consists of two bur
lesques. with a very strong olio. All
parts elected hearty applause. The first
burlesque. Flashlights of Broadway"
is a very clever review of recent thea
trical successes, and introduces sever
clever comedians in limitations of their
better known brethren on the New
York stage. The music has a swing to
it, the costumes are pretty and the en-
se1nble dancing is equal to any seen
during the present season. Singers who
can really sing, dancers who can really
dance and clever stage settings and
electrical effects-all go to make up a
splendid performance.
