Most Brutal Manner.

| AZ Valladolid. Yucatan. the scene Of
1 bloody massacre By Indian insur-
gents several days ago. Meagre ad-
vices received by the government au-
| tnorities estimate the number killed
| At forty.
More than two thousand Indians
are said to have been engaged in the
attack upon the towns. The insur-
gents held Valladolid at last accounts
having fortified themselves In the
jail and other buildings. A force
Of federal and state troops and volun-
teers numbering more than 1000
men. was concentrated at Dritas, a
short distance from valladolid. and
was about to march upon the rebels.
Those engaged in the uprising are
chiefly Indians who never have been
submissive to authority. Reports
as to the cause OF the outbreak are
conflicting. Some declare that 1t
began with a protest against certain
orders issued by the civil odacer Ia
charge OF the municipality. known as
the "Je:e Politico." while others say
that 1t was the result Of a drunken
spree.
Whatever the origin. il appears to
have had some semblanes Of organi-
zation and is said 20 have been led
by political malcontents. Col. Boni!la
Montenegro. formerly at the head
Of the civil government os Valladolid
is said TO have been in command Of
the raiders.
The first attack was made upon
the building where all public onices
are located. The mob was armed
with machetes. pistols and guns AZ
ter sacking this building the rioters
turned their attention to the Jefe
Politico named Resil. The battle
had begun il the night. and It was
. a. n. when the attack was made
on the building where Regil and
many citizens had taken refuge.
= bloody butchery followed. The
wife OF Resil left her four children
and went TO the assistance OF aer
husband. seeking through her tears
and prayers TO reach the hearts OF
the infuriated raiders. Regil was
cut down before her eyes. and his
body hacked to pieces. The wife.
also is said to have been murdered.
IS were all the men in the building.
numbering some twenty in all. Later
the five or six gendarmes in the
town met similar fate.
The people Of the town were ter
-!fed. Many fed in the direction OF
Merida. The mob surged through
the town. crying for blood and pill

EMPLOYERS LIABILITY
LAW PASSED BY SENATE

WASHINGTON, April AFTER
three days of sharp controversy, the
senate today passed the house bill
amending the employers liability law
so as to give the state courts concur
rent jurisdiction with the federal courts
in dealing with suits for damages
growing out of accidents.
The measure was reported from the
judiciary committee, and was in charge
Senator BOrah, who finally steered it
to passage, Notwithstanding many
sharp assaults from both sides of the
chamber.
The discussion considered, especially,
the rights of the states to deal with
questions growing out of the liability
law.
Senator Bacon sought to have the
bill amended as to make a railroad
a citizen Of every state it traVerses.
Later. however he withdrew the
provision in favor of an amendment
suggested by Senator Paynter of Ken
lucky prohibiting the removal of dam
age suits from state courts. Ultimately
the Paynter amendment was agreed TO.

HOUSE RECEIVES THREE
RAILWAY BILL REPORTS

WASHINGTON, April 1.-Widely di-
verging views on control of common
cerriers, including a split minority
presentation, are expressed in reports
that accompanied the submission of
the administration railroad bill to the
house by the interstate commerce
committee today.
The measure drafted by Attorney
General Wickersham at the instance
of President Taft, introduced by Rep
resentative Townsend of Michigan and
transformed by radical changes in
house committees into a substitute
measure, already is being debated in
the senate.
In the house it probably will follow
the naval appropriation bill. Chairman
Mann of the committee, who will act
as sponsor for the bill though opposed
TO some of it's provisions, will seek on
Monday to fix a date for the bill to
be taken up.
The majority report, which Chair
man Mann signed with the other Re-
publican members, stamps the proposed
legislation as even more important than
any preceding acts for the control Of
railroads, imposing no undue interfer-
ence with railway management and
comforting large benefits upon the
public.
The minority report, striking at the
commerce court, declares mo untried,
experimental legislation of doubtful
constitutional character should be en-
tered upon by congress at a time when
neither consumers, shippers nor rail-
roads ask for such legislation"
The minority members, While earnest
advocates of federal supervision of in
terstate railroads, attack the bill as
paternalistic
Still another set of views is presented
by Messrs. Sims of Tennessee and Rus
sell of Texas, Democratic members of
the committee. who refused to sign
the minority report although in favor
of some of its features.
Mr.. Richardson of Alabama, who
signed the minority report, believes
the bill leads to government ownership
Of railroads and will offer an amend
ment prescribing physical valuation in
stead Of huctuating value of capital
stock as a basis for ascertaining a fair
rate.

NAPLES TO GREET
ROOSEVELT TODAY
Thousands of Americans Flock to
City to Observe Return OF
Former President
Associated Press1

NAPLES, April NAPLES is crowded
tonight in anticipation of the arrival
from Africa early tomorrow morning
of Col. Theodore Roosevelt. Thousands
Of Americans who have been travelling
in Italy have swarmed into the city,
as have hundreds of tourists from the
big excursion steamships Cincinnati
and Grosser Kurfurst, anchored in the
bay, to give their charges a chance to
be the first of his countrymen to wei
come Roosevelt in Europe.
Ambassador Leishman and the mem
bers of the American embassy staff at
Rome reached Naples tonight
Although no official reception has
been arranged by the italian authori-
ties in honor of the distinguished guest,
the mayor of Naples had delegated
Alderman Delce to present to him the
welcome of the city. Extensive police
precautions have been taken and these
will continue from the time the steam
err Prinz Heinrich arrives, until Col.
Roosevelt leaves the city.
No fixed program has been made for
the ex-president's stay in Naples. 1t
is probable he will hold an informal
receDtion at the Excelsior hotel, where
q suite of rooms have been engaged
for himself and family, and that he
will visit the studio of the sculptor
Chiramonte to inspect the bust OF the
