No Other Job in the World Like that
Held by Johnson.
BUSINESS Is TO SETTLE STRIKES


TOPEKA, Kan, July Especial Tele-
gram.)-W. l.. A. johnson. for fourteen
years commissioner of the Kansas Bureau
OF Labor. has become the only professional
arbitrator in the country. He is to arbL-
trate all labor difficulties, between the
miners and mine owners In Kansas Mis-
souri,, Oklahoma and Arkansas. and the
miners and operators sre going to pay him
a salary.
Mr.. johnson undertook his new Job today.
Most strikes are settled by arbitration,
IL not through outside parties, then through
compromises with the employers and en-
ployes. It Is Mr.. Johnson's Job to prevent
strikes and to decide labor difficulties that
may come up In the coal mines of the south
west district and when he settles the
question, both sides must accept his de-
cision.
The new position was decided upon by
the Coal Operators association and the
district branch of the United Mine Work
ers. 1t was more or less an experiment
The miners had been out Of work four
months and the big mines suffered because
they were not being operated all last sum
mer
The miners and operators kept negoti-
ating, but could not reach an agreement
Even after the contract had been signed
It was realized that during its life. there
would be hundreds Of little differences
which would come up in various mines,
many Of which would be difficult Of settle
ment as each side,>would stick to certain
views ss long as possible Many OF these
disputes would cause shutdowns Of plants
fore few days or a week.
The miners wanted TO work, and the
operators wanted the coal mined. so 1t was
agreed that the operators would pay some
5000 year and the miners 5000 and hire
a professional arbitrator Mr.. johnson is
paid 5000 year and expenses. He makes
his headquarters In Topeka, but is to travel
over the mining sections OF the four states
In the district most of the time.

- Advent of Anglicized

LONDON, July 9.-(Special Cablegram)
.-Having undertaken to abrldge the ten
commandments the lower house of the
convocation of the church of England Is
trying its hand at expugating the marriage
service.
The arch deacon of Leicester declares
that certain phrases and words in the
exhortation of the service are offensive to
brides. Other clerics said that when Of
ficiating at weddings they are often asked
to cut out these particular words or to
humble them so that they are scarcely
audible. The exhortation was composed
in the sixteenth century, and the convo-
cation committee recommends alterations
to make 1t eonsonant with modern ideas.
The members of the convocation, with
few objecting, agreed to the following
changes: 1t was agreed that the clause
reciting that marriage is not by any to
be enterprised or taken in hand lightly"
should be altered to read marriage is not
by any to be taken in hand unadvisedly,
lightly wantonly, but reverently, dis
creetly, advisedly, soberly and in fear Of
God, duly considering the chief causes for
which matrimony is ordained"
The members also agreed that the pas
sage stating that marriage was ordained
for the procreation Of mankind" should
run for the increase of mankind" 1t was
then proposed to omit the passage which
gives the second reason for which mar
riage is ordained, namely FOR remedy
against SIM This alteration was holly
resisted by several members. Canon
Drummond said that those who objected
to these words were precisely the persons
by whom they were most needed Never
theless, this amendment was also agreed

ORIGIN OF WEDDING RINGS
Custom Traced from Mists of Anfiq-

Dol of eternity
Both Greeks and Romans used wedding
rings, placing them upon the forefinger.
During certain periods of the Middle Ages
custom demanded that the ring should
cost as much as the bridegroom could at
ford to pay, and cases are on record in
Germany and France OF fashionable grooms
who made large expenditures in this di-
reaction. The inevitable reaction came,
however, and made the prescribed symbol
plain gold circlet
The materials of which wedding rings
have been, made are as different as the
nations using them. Rings of bone and
hard wood have been found in Swiss
lakes, and others, OF ivory, copper, brass,
lead. tin, iron, silver and gold come to
museums from various parts of the earth,
In the fourteenth century custom pre-
vailed in Italy Of adjoining the ring with

spread TO France. and French bridegrooms
would sometimes endeavor to multipiy
their chances of obtaining the good luck
by presenting their brides with twelve
rings, one for each month Indeed the
use Of several rings in the marriage cere-
mony is not at all uncommon. When Mary
Stuart was married to Darnley, four were
placed upon her hand. The Greek church

Mexico Discovers
What May Be a Big
Financial Swindle
Millions of Dollars Of Bonds Being
Offered for Sale, Which it is Said
Are Fraudulent.

MONTERREY, Mexico, July S-(Specia
Telegram.)-" the recent revolution In
Mexico made the basis for a gigantic n.
nancial swindle with the United States as
the chief scene of operatlons?"
This is question that Is being asked BY
banking interests in this country.
In the absence OF any authentic statement
as TO how the rebellion was financed. there
Is still some question as to whether a
swipdle had really taken place. For tive
or three weeks banks in Monterey and
other large cities of Mexico have been re.
ceiving offers Of so-called provisional gov
eminent bonds of this country from their
holders. who are for the most part Ameri-
cans. This bond ISSUE put out last January,
IL something like s2OOOO.OOO II is known
that blocks Of bonds were sold in San An
tonic, 81 Paso, Los Angeles, St Louis.
New Orleans, New York and probably
many other cities. The bonds were sold
as low as Is cents on the dollar.
So far as is now publicly known, no such
bond issue was ever authorized by Madero
or the men who aided him In promoting the
rebellion. In fact It has been repeatedly
declared by Madero, as well as by other
close associates OF him, that the war was
financed by himself and other members
OF his family, and that IT cost approx
mately $4,000 gold.
This being true, there are good grounds
for believing that any bond issue that
might have been made is fraudulent: at
least this is the view taken by financial in
stitutions in Mexico. which are daily re-
fusing to buy these bonds The issue is
said to be scattered among hundreds of
holders in the United States. who bought
them in good faith.
II this big bond issue was made without
authority, the perpetrators of the scheme
have doubtless got away with several mil
lion dollars. ..ar... ~.
