THE C|GARMAKERS STRIKE AT TAMPA City Faces Grave Situation Which Prevailed
 Last Year

Tampa, Fla. May 1O-Singing the Mar sellaise, 5000 cigarmalSers this afternoon marched through the streets of West Tampa and Ybor City in a demonstration against the decision of Judge Wall of the circuit court upholding the sentencing to one years Imprisonment of leaders in the recent strike here. rendered by the criminal court of record.
 Following the parade general strike was declared and Tampa faces the same grave situation which prevailed through . greater portion of last year Further than the gathering of crowds of excited workers on the street corners to listen to speeches by strike leaders there was no disturbance of serious nature.
 Tonight Judge Wall issued mandate to the sheriff to notify the leaders in the movement that unless the demonstration came to an end before morning the strike leaders under sentence, Jose De La Campaa Britt Russell and J. F. Bartlum, will be remahded to jail and sent to the chain gang at once to begin serving their terms. &
 When rumors were received fin the business section or IaHpd tndt the sciearmakers had struck and were rioting a large detail of police was hurried to the labor temple in Ybor City to preserve order. The strikers gathered in the labor hall and listened to speeches during the afternoon. When the factories closed the crowd was augmented by thousands who did not walk out and tonight the streets of both Ybor City and West Tampa are choked with gesticulating Latins discuss ing the situation. r4
 In manifesto issued this afternoon the joint advisory board stated that the strike will continue until the men under sentenced are either pardoned or new trial Is granted M
 The number who~ walked out today represent about 25 per cent of the men employed in the industry here, and 1t is feared that majority of those who did not answer the general gall today will walk out tomorrow.

WANT HO[COMBE
 NOT ID RESIGN Business League Directors Defer Acceptance of
 Resignation

A special meeting of the board of direc- tors of the Business Mems league, with practically a full attendance, was held last night subsequent to the formal resig- nation of J. H. Holcombe as president of that organization rendered the board at their regular meeting Monday night.
 MT. Holcombe again rendered his resig- nation as president of the Business Mems league and asked for, an immediate accep- tance on account of business reasons and grounds connected with his personal af- fairs. Such action was deferred at the last meeting.
 At the earnest request of the entire board MT. Holcombe finally agreed that action on his resignation be again defer red until a committee of prominent busi- ness men whom the board will select may eo to the headouarters of the Star Piano company, with whom he Is connected, and request of them MT. Holcombes permis- sion to serve in his present capacity un- til after the fair of this year is over.
 The committee will point out to the em- ployers of MT. Holcombe the great neces- sity for him to continue to act as pres ident of the Fair association inasmuch as it would be very difficult to secure an- other person capable of taking his place.
 M. V. Joseph, vice president of the Business Mems league, acted as chairman of the meeting last night. He will ap- point committee of five prominent busi- ness men today who will leave for Rich mond, Ind, some time next week to pre- sent the case of MT. Holcombe before the directors of the Star Piano company.
 Another committee will be appointed to secure in the meantime a petition from the Chamber of Commerce, the Board or Trade, bankers and other prominent busi- ness people here, urging the Star Piano company to allow MT. Holcombe to con- tinue as president of the Business Mems league and the Fair association.

.B|G METHODIST
 MEETING BEGINS

Chattanooga, May 10.-Joint executive sessions of the commissioners of the fed eration of Methodist churches, represent ing the Methodist Episcopal church, the Methodist Episcopal church, south, and the Methodist Protestant church, began here this morning and were resumed in the afternoon and at night. While noth- ing in detail could be given out, the information was authorized that a plan of federation, emanating from the sub stitute committee of nine, had been sub mitted to the general commission, and this plan is the basis of discussion now.
 The three sessions today, 1t Is said, probably half way completed the work of the commission, which the members hope to finish by tomorrow night. It was learned that the commission prob ably will reach conclusion to submit the propositon of federation to the gen eral conference of the Methodist Epis- copai church and the Methodist Pro- testant church, which meet next spring and the general conference of the Meth odist Episcopal church, south, which meets in two years.
 Consequently, whatever conclusion Is reached in the deliberations of the com mission at the present time cannot coma before all the general conferences in- side of two years from this time and some commissioners express the opin- ion that federation decided upon at all can ha ardly be reached inside of six years from the present time. H N A
 The spirit of commissioners has been, without exception. fine, although there have arisen sharp points of difference in opinions not only as to details but as to the general proposition of federation. The question has been raised, in friendly dis cussion between commissioners, as to whether union is desirable or whether more effective work can be done by the separate rival organizations as they now exist It seems probable at this time how ever. that there will be no serious fric- tion. and the recommendations of the joint commission to the various general conferences will be practically unani- nous.

PLUMBERS CAUSE
 HOUSES ARREST

Knoxville, Tenn, May 10.-As a sequel to the journeymen plumbers strike in this city, John House of Finger & House master plumbers, was arrested to- day on warrant charging violation or city plumbing inspection law. The all legged violation. the strikers claim, was in putting on job non-union plumber. who does not possess a certificate issued by the plumbing examining board. MT House contends that the law does not contemplate requiring certificate of all workmen.

at all stores and houses whose entrances were exposed. as we'll as around the out skirts of the town
 Telephone wires were soon being re- paired and shattered telegraph poles re- placed. The insurrectos now are trying to make their new capital a habitable place.
 Happiest among those who were about the streets were the prisoners liberated from the jail during the day. Many of them claim to. have been innocent of any wrongdoing.
 James Monaghan. whose address Is s309 Barring street, Philadelphia, Pa, stu dent in Swarthmore college. who went sightseeing in Juarez on Sunday. says he was arrested as a spy and since then has been in prison, being forced fre- ouently during the fighting to carry wa ter from across the street to the federal soldiers who fought from the top of tho jail.
 General Madero walked about the streets congratulating his men. Their horses had not yet been brought from the old camp late today. He wore a felt hat with the insurrecto colors wrapped about 1t.
 Much moro ammunition than they ever dreamed to be in Juarez tonight Is in the hands of the revolutionists.
 The sympathy of the people in the state of Chihuahua is with tic rebels, and If they march southward toward Mexico City 1t is most certain they will recruit thousands of men.
 The probable course of action of the insurrectos now will be to determine whether the government is ready to mako definite peace concessions. Negotiations for peace probably will be resumed in day or two. but the rebel demands probably will be much stronger than be- fore. Erstwhile peace commissioners and rebel political chiefs were in Juarez to- night conferring with Madero.

THE BOY AND THE GUN.

Each season brings its own sport or
pastimes, game or fad for the boys.
The autumn and winter are the sea-
sons when many boys hunt or shoot
great deal. says the Omaha Bee. This
should be the time, then, for the reit-
Grafton of that old warning about the
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. accident.
Boys should be careful with their
shooting irons, and never fail to know
whether they are loaded or not. Two
boys were out shooting few days
ago and one. thinking his gun was
empty, aimed it at the other and
pulled the trigger. The other dropped
dead. 81 didn't know it was loaded"
walled the one who killed him, echo
ing the wall of scores of others who
had at sometime been as crlminally
negligent as himself No boy or man
has right to aim firearm at an
other person, and when he does 1t,
whether harm comes of 1t or not, he
should be made to feel that he has
done something he should not. Par
ents can well afford to deny guns and
pistols to their boys until they have
reached such ages as will make them
capable of realizing their dangers. If
they must have guns, they should be
cautioned against careless use of
them. 1t sometimes seems trite to
speak of warning boys against such
things, but If they were warned often
enough such distressing accidents
would be fewer.
