SOLDIERS DISARMED
BY MEXICAN POLICE
Following Determined Action
City Canaea Is Now
Quiet and Peaceful

CANANEA, Mexico, July 17.-After sew
eral days trouble with soldiers who re-
fused to lay down their arms until large
sums of money were paid to them, Can
anea is again quiet today and the civil
government is in control
1t was agreed between the citizens and
officers that the soldiers must remain in
their barracks or leave their arms there
when they go upon the streets.
The police proceeded to disarm the sol
diers, who appeared upon the streets
with weapons. That caused more trou-
BILE, about so soldiers leaving barracks
and demanding the return of their arms.
They were persuaded to return to their
quarters without them.
Col. Juan G. Cabra4 was selected as
major del plaza and given charge of
the city's affairs. Captain Marinda, ac-
cused of having liberated dangerous
criminals from the city jail, left early to-
day for the hills, accompanied by a
number of soldiers who were prominent
in the recent disturbances.

JaiIS Full of Political
Prisoners

PANAMA, July 17.-Mail advices
from Rivas. Nicaragua, forwarded under
date of July 10, describe the capital.
Managua, as in a state Of siege, the
prisons filed with political prisoners
loaded with chains. Many of these are
not charged with specific oftenses, but
are suspected Of disloyalty to President
Diaz's government. The wife OF one
prisoner obtained his liberty, it is said.
by paying those in authority $4,000.
The advices further state that tele-
grams. cablegrams and even private cor
respondence is rigidly censured The
government suddenly prohibited the cir
culation of IS and $50 bills, printed in
Managua by former Presidents Zelaya
and Madris. claiming many counter
feits are in circulation. This action has
caused much inconvenience.

FEW SUICIDES OCCUR
IN GEORGIA CITIES
Life Seems Worth While to
Folks Living in Augusta,
Savannah, Atlanta

Life may be funny proposition
after all" Furthermore. there have
been instances where times has been
purity hard. in Georgy" Alice samee a
mans earthly existence seems to be
more valuable to him here than in almost
any other state in the union. There
seems to be in Georgia the least tend
ency to leave this old world via one OF
the Goldberg methods.
Frederick L. Hoffman gives. in the
last edition of the THE Insurance Spec
tator," an interesting table of statistics,
in an article on the suicidal rate in
American cities The Georgia cities
which he brings into the discussion are
Atlanta. Savannah and Augusta.
The average rate of suicides in an
American community is 1877 per cent per
100000 population. The present rate In
Augusta is only 73 per cent. Atlantis
and Savannah come next. in the order
named with 14.9 per cent and Is per
cent, respectively.
San Francisco leads the other cities
in the country with 42.2 per cent; while
New York and Chicago are well up to-
ward the top.
The author, in his most interesting
article, says also that there is less
tendency to suicide in America than
there is in even staid old Germany.
For five years previous to 1908, Ger
many had 1876 male suicides for every
100 in America; and for every 100 fe-
male suicides in this country. Germany
had 1875.

LOWER SUGAR TARIFF WILL
RUIN SOUTHERN GROWERS
Such Is Emphatic Statement
of BurguiereS Before Sugar
Trust Probe

q =
WASHINGTON. July 17-That Lou
isiana sugar planters and independent
refiners fear the American Sugar Re-
filming company was declared today by
]. E. Burguieres. president of the
Louisiana Planters association, before
the house sugar trust committee. He
testified that reduction of the sugar
tariff would ruin the Louisiana sugar
industry.
II can't get independent refiners to
come to Louisiana and bid on our sugar.
They say they will not come into our
field. but will buy our sugars if we get
them into their market.
They gave no satisfactory reason
therefor. but 1 made my own deduc-
tions, that the independent refners re-
garded Louisiana as American Sugar
Refining company territory and refuse
to enter that territory for fear they will
precipitate trouble for themselves with
the trust. They have stayed away ever
since we got into trouble with the trust
for selling to outsiders several years
ago"
do the Independents have any agree
ment to keep away from the territory?'
asked Representative Madison.
II think not. The condition results
from a combined fear of the planters to
sell away from the trust and of indie
pendent refiners to invade what is con-
sidered trust territory.
Il predict a crop of one million tons
of sugar a year in Louisiana and Texas
within few years. If the sugar tariff
Is cut in half 1t would Immediately
annihilate the sugar industry of Louis
lana and affect the property of more
than 100000 people,"

MONTGOMERY VOTES
ON SALOON QUESTION

MONTGOMERY, Ala, July 17.-Per-
feet quiet is the sole feature of an cleo
ton which began in Montgomery county
this morning to determine whether the
saloon shall again be legalized in this
city. Indications are that large vote
will be polled in the city and full vote
will be cast in the rural precincts unless
heavy rains occur. At noon a normal
number of ballots had been cast.
The opinion prevails that local option
will carry and the question appears to
be now only on the majority. Estimates
run from 1000 to $500 majority. \
