new and sweeter song comes into his
heart.

FOR MEDIATION

Washington, June 1.-two applications
for mediation under the Erdman arbitra-
ton act were received today by Chairman
Knapp of the interstate commerce COM

Jackson, Miss, and New Orleans. In this
case the question of wages also is in
volved. The mediators telegraphed all

HEAD OF GROCERS
MUCH SURPRISED

Jacksonville, Fla, June 16.-J. II. Nc
Laurin. president of the Southern
Wholesale Grocers' association. today
gave out statement in which he ex-
pressed great surprise that fedora.
prosecution should be undertaken
against the association by the federal
auth critics
THE allegations of the present COM
plant of the United States as report
ed in the ne spapers.' said Mr.. Nc
Laurin, ARE wholly incorrect and can
be proven So The Southern Wholesale
Grocers' association is simply an as
ISOLATION for social and legitimate bus
mess purposes like the National Whole
sale Grocers' association, which covers
the northern states;4 retail grocers' as,
sociations, cotton growers associations
fruit growers associations and like as
sociations included which exist in prac-
tically every business and occupa tion
in the country, and unless they are
h cid to be illegal and in violation of
the acts of Congress l do not think
that the Southern Wholesale Grocers'
association will be held to be anything
else
J. H. McLaurin, C. Bartleson and Rob-
ert Moore, the Jacksonville men re-
ported to have been made defendants
to the suit of the government, have
received no official notice or intimatior
of the prosecution formally. Steps have
been taken by the defense, however,
to have themselves represented by al
torneys when the trialN actually com
mences.

REVOLUTION Is
SPREADING FAST

washington, June 16.-The revolution in
Nicaragua is spreading throughout the
country. Word reached the state de-
partment to this effect today, and parts OF
the republic other than those controlled
by Estrada had revolted. According to
today's advices from Managua the report
is current there that armed revolution
lists are greatly increasing in number in
the vicinity of Granada. Considerable
manifestations of a revolutionary spirit
also are evident in western Nicaragua.
The newspapers are held under strict
censorship by Madriz, but are generally
hostile In tone to the United States. Gen.
eral Lara, who was in charge of some
of the Madriz forces operating against
Bluefields, has returned to Managua.
Nothing has been heard of the status
of young Pitman. the American boy who
laid the mines at Bluefields Bluff and
was captured by the Madriz forces, so
the state department advices say, and an
inquiry by Consul Moffatt has been
started.
The provisional president has protested
against the interference of the United
states naval officers In the revolution.
This report has reached the President
from Managua and he referred 1t to the
state department which will answer it in
q day or two.

GOVERNOR HASKELL

Guthrie, Okla, June 16.-Judge A. H.
Huston in the county district court here
today overrufed the demurrer filed by
Governor Haskell to the petition of Coun-
ty Attorney Hepburn, who had asked for
an Injunction preventing the removal of
the capitol from Guthrie to Oklahoma
City. The temporary injunction issued
last Monday was continued in force I'M
til further order
The court held that the enabling act
was valid in imposing that the capital
should remain in Guthrie until 1918; that
the court had jurisdiction over the person
of the governor in matters where he had
no discretion, and that the county attor-
ney had the power to file application for
injunction.
The decision differed from Attorney Cen
erai West on all points. rfl
Governor Haskell tonight issued a pro-
clamation declaring the capital location

tion board. The measure carried by ap-
proximately $1,000 majority.

ruling of his demurrer by Judge Hus-
ton in Guthrie will not in the least inter-
fere with the determination of the state
Officials TO remain permanently in Okla
homa City. THE demurrer was merely
basis for securing a writ of prohibition In
case 1t was overruled," said the governor.

OF THE HOUSE
MAY Be REFORMED
Impending Fight Will Possibly
Be Avoided
COMMITTEE VERY BUSY
Regular Republicans Manifest Wish
to Settle Differences Over Rules
and Hope Is Expressed of
Final Agreement

Washington, June 16.-Out OF the
three sided battle line In the House
of Representatives which has been
gradually merging for several days to-
ward mutual ground of conflict over
the question of the reform of the rules,
there grew today the appearance of
something like an amicable settlement.
After a session of the rules committee.
which lasted throughout most CT the
day and two sessions of the insurgent
republicans of the House, it looked to-
night as though tomorrow may evolve
a plan upon which practically all par
ties and factions of parties can unite
in adopting a reformation of the rules.
The rules committee argued, wrote
and drafted for hours over The Clark
and Sherley resolution which seeks to
provide a way for member to bring
into the House a measure being smoth-
tired in committee.
Oh airman Dalzell and the other regu-
lar republican members of that COM
mittee Joined with the democratic mem
bers in attempting to formulate rule
which would work out the end desired
fact that the regular wing of the party
expressed a Willingness to join in
reform movement was generally COM
mented upon today as indicating thai
1T was practically conceded that a rule
would be adopted before adjournment
and that they had decided it the bet
ter part of valor to join in making 1t
go through rather than resist its adop-
ton.
The regular leaders, including Speak
er Cannon, Representative Payne of New
York, Representative Dalzell of Pennsyl-
vania. Representative Smith of Iowa and
others, were in frequent conference over
the proposed rules during the day. The
committee finally adjourned until tomor-
row, at which time it is expected it will
reach an agreement on the matter. 1t is
believed the rules drafted by the demo-
cratic leaders and known as the Clark
Shenley rules will be adopted by the rules
committee in substance, and practically as
originally drawn in the rooms of Mi
nority Leader Champ Clark of Missouri.
The insurgents assembled about rs in
number and discussed the sort Of rules
they would vote for. 1t was the general
dispoEition that they should await the ace
ton of the rules committee and nothing
decisive was DONE They will meet again
tomorrow afternoon. 1t is stated that the
dethronement of Speaker Cannon was dis
cussed at the insurgents gathering but
ii was saio no definite decision on the
subject was had. Many Of the insur-
gents are opposed to the attempted re-
nloval OF the speaker, although if the
matter is forced on the floor they adj
mitted they would vote that way.

AMERICAN PARTY
ESCAPES FROM MOB

Rome, June 16.-Details of the es
cape of a party of American Baptist
clergyman from the hands of a super
stitious mob al Avellino at the time
of the recent earthquake were laid be-
fore Premier Luzzatti today by James
P. Stuart of St Louis, who was sent
by the American board of Baptist mis-
sions to Italy to investigate the Bap
fist mission in this country and who
returned few days ago from the pro-
vince of Avellino.
Mr.. Stuart reported to the premier
that the situation in the district was
very serious owing to the struggle be-
tween Catholics and Baptists. On the
night of the earthquake shock he and
his companions, he said, were brutally
attacked. The populace seemed to at
tribute the earthquake to the presence
of the Baptists and a crowd numbering
into the thousands set upon the Amer
leans with the avowed intention of
hanging them.
The police officials" said Mr.. Stuart,
wanted us to leave the province i'm
mediately and secretly, but this we
refused to do, as the Italians would
have said that we had fed, and we
would have lost all we have already
accomplished. Later, however we
took out departure according to ar
rangements in a public manner, but we
were guarded by 200 soldiers with guns
and bayonets as a protection against
the 5000 or more persons who lined
the streets yelling, cursing and threat
ening u.s."
Premier Luzzatti urged upon Mr.
Stuart the advisability of avoiding any
retaliatory measures or any demon
stration which would be apt to dis
turb the peace.
Mr.. Stuart has decided to postpone
his return to the district In order to
allow the excitement to subside.

MOVEMENT FOR WORLD
PEACE SIGNIFICANT

London. June 16.-The movement In
America toward the preservation of the
peace OF the world and the limitation of
armament, to which James Bryce, the
British ambassador at Washington, has
specially drawn the attention of the Brit
ish government, formed the subject of a
question to Sir Edward Gray in the house
of commons today.
Il need not say replied the foreign
secretary. that the government will fol-
low these discussions with sympathetic
interest, but until we know what ef-
feet will be given to them by the House
of Representatives and the Senate of the
United States it would be premature to
take steps toward realization of the
project
