UPRISING N SPAIN
PURELY LAsoR MOVEMENT DE.
VELoPEs INTO CONFLICT
WITH GOVERNMENT.
MODS BATTLE IN MANY CITIES
Trade Unions Declare General Strike
Women Participate in Demon
stration-Pubic Buildings
Burned.

Madrid, Spain. = Spain is face to
face with crisis equal in gravity to
that following the riots in Barcelona
in 1909. The agitation and the power
of the agitators on the masses have
increased in proportion to the rigor
of the repressive measures undertak-
en- by the government.
What, at it's origin, was purely
labor movement, has now developed
into revolutionary conflict, a COM
mune having actually been proclaimed
at two towns near Valencia where the
authorities were driven out.
The affiliated trades unions have de-
cided to call general strike through
out the length and breadth of Spain,
and the government, abandoning the
tone of optimism heretofore main
tanned, decided upon the drastic step
of "suspending the constitutional guar
antees" through the whole country.
1t was explained, however, that in
SO doing the government did not seek
to persecute the trades unions, but
it was made clear that any attempts
to cause a rebellion would be pun
ished vigorously. All meetings have
been forbidden. The Spanish govern
ment long had been aware that the
present conditions were contemplated
for tne end of September, but was
unwilling to take radical measures
until their true character was appar-
| ent.
Emissaries were sent out throughout
| the peninsula with instructions to TO-
ment general strikes in all the prov
inces, the object being to paralyze the
nation by stopping all public services.
The government laid plans according
| ly and is resolved on the re-establish-
ment of order at any cost. The au-
thorities assert that the general union
| of labor which proclaimed a general
strike only represents a limited num-
| ber of workers. Among the dele
gates who voted for this strike was
| the president of the railroad workers,
but as this union recently has been
organized it is possible that the
movement will fail so far as it con-
Germs the railroads.
Extraordinary precautions have
been taken in Madrid. All the police
men have been armed with carbines.
Premier Canalejas was called to the
palace to report the situation to King
Alfonso. On leaving the palace he
told the newspaper men that the sit
uation generally was better except in
| the Valencia region.

JOHNSON HAS QUIT
FAMOUS "PussYFooT" LEAVES

Washington.

Washington. - "Pussyfoot" w. E.
Johnson, the agent of the Indian bu-
reau whose activities in Minnesota a
year or so ago created good deal of
excitement, will quit the government
service October 1.
His resignation, rendered to Assist
ant Secretary Adams, has been accept.
ed. Johnson will be succeeded by H.
F. Coggeshall, of New York. Depart
ment officials are reluctant to discuss
the causes which led to the resigna-
ton of Mr.. Johnson.
There are intimations, however,
that while his work in the direction of
suppressing the liquor traffic among
the Indians was effective, that he
stirred up trouble wherever he went.
1t is understood that Mr.. Johnson's
trouble with the department officials
begun as result of "Pussyfoot's" op-
erations in Minnesota, where the spe-
cial agents activities are said to have
been concentrated in a spectacular
manner. Some months ago Mr.. John
son was transferred to the southwest
ern territory with headquarters at
Denver. He was assigned to duty
among the Indian tribes in New Mex
leo and Oklahoma and also filed de-
tails in Iowa, Montana and Washing
ton.
( 1t is said that Mr.. Johnson was over
Jealous in the conduct of his work,
and that he had overstepped his du-
ties and exceeded his authority.
On several occasions Johnson, who
is radical prohibitionist, has operat-
ed in all parts of the world. He has
made an exhaustive study of all phras-
es of the liquor problem, and only re-
Gently published book bearing on
the federal government and the LIQUOR
traffic in this country
Mr.. Coggeshall, who will succeed
Johnson as chief of the field service,
is now a deputy in that branch of the
department.
Acting Secretary Adams of the In
terror tonight gave out the following
statement: "The questions involved in
Mr.. Johnson's case were merely those
of detail, as to carrying out the work
In hand, and as he believes in other
methods than those which the Indian
officials thought were better he plans
to step down from his position, at the
close Of the present month. Mr..
Johnson's record in the Indian Office is
a splendid one"
Inquiry at the temporary residence
of Mr.. Johnson at Laurel, Md, was
answered by the statement that he is
ill and could not discuss any phrase of
the matter. 1t is understood that he
has several business offers proffered
by New York parties.

Hired Hand.

to have been murdered by farm.
hand, known only as Jim, who was
last seen walking down the road from
the farmhouse.
The body Of Mrs. Bolton was found
in the cellar of the house. She had
been shot through the heart. Rhodes
body was found in an old potato field
on the opposite side of the road which
passes the house. He had been shot
| through the head and right breast
A few inches of earth had been spread
over the corpse, which was lying full
length in a furrow.
Found by Neighbor.
William P. Holden, a neighbor, no.
ticed that the cattle were standing
in the Bolton yard unattended. Fear
ing that everything was not right, he
went to the house and when his knock
at the door was unanswered he broke
in. A search of the house revealed
Mrs. Bottoms body. After other neigh
bors had been summoned and search
OF the premises made, the body of
Rhodes was found in the field.
Mrs. Bolton was the wife of Walter
Bolton, who is employed as bartend-
er in the saloon of AL Graupman, 311
Twentieth avenue north, Minneapolis.
Bolton had been working in the city
and sending part of his wages each
week to his wife. They bought the
farm last January and Mrs. Bolton and
the cousin had been running the place.
Bolton was notified by the Minneapolis
police of the double murder and hast
ened to the farm. He says he has
no idea what the mans motive for
, shooting his wife and cousin could
have been.
Nothing was missing from the house
except mandolin and some change
from Mrs. Bottoms purse.

A HIT
What She Gained by Trying Again.

A failure at first makes us esteem
final success.
A family in Minnesota that now en-
joys Postum would never have known
how good it is if the mother had been
discouraged by the failure Of her
first attempt to prepare it. Her son
tells the story:
1--WE had never used Postum till last
spring when father brought home
package one evening just to try 1t. We
had heard from our neighbors, and in
fact every one who used it, how well
they liked 1t.
''Well, the next morning Mother
brewed it about five minutes, just as
she had been In the habit of doing
with coffee without paying special at
tention to the directions printed on
the package. It looked weak and
didn't have very promising color. but
nevertheless father raised his cup
with an air of exceptancy. It certain
ly did give him great surprise. but
I'm afraid it wasn't very pleasant
one, for he put down his cup with q
look of disgust.
Mother wasn't discouraged though,
and next morning gave it another trial,
letting It stand on the stove till boil
ing >agan and then letting it boil for
fifteeE IT twenty minutes, and this
time we were all so pleased with it
that we have used it ever since.
Father was a confirmed dyspeptic
and cup of coffee was to him like poi
son. So he never drinks it any more,
but drinks Postum regularly. He isn't
troubled with dyspepsia now and is
actually growing fst, and I'm sure
Postum is the cause of it. All the chill
dren are allowed to drink 1t and they
are perfect pictures of health" Name
