CANNON PROTECT
STRIKEBREAKERS
McComb City, Miss, Takes on
WaT|ike Appearance.

McComb City, Miss, Oct Three
car loads of strikebreakers, who were
rescued from a mob in New Orleans,
arrived here at $3.50 p. m. on a spe-
cial train under military guard, and
without demonstration were escorted
to the Illinois Central shops.
With 500 glistening bayonets in the
hands of as many national guardsmen
around the Illinois Central railroad
property here, ten-foot board fence
topped by barbed wire strands inclos-
ing all the work shops and two auto
matte cannon atop two-story ONCE
building, railroad officials express the
opinion that they will be able to work
as many strikebrcakers as necessary
In their shops here.
This Is the first consignment of
strikebreakers to arrive since the en-
forced departure of the 1872 stationed
at the shops here following Tuesday
nights riots. The importation was
not unexpected by the strikers, but
the majority displayed no interest in
their coming.

Fitty-threa Destroyed at Black
River Falls, Wis.
REFUGEES IN NEED OF AID
All Grocery, Meat and Provision
Stores Are in Ruins and Very
Little Food Is on Hand.

Black River Falls, Wis, Oct s.
Fifty-three buildings out of sixty-one
in the main business district of this
city are in the waters of the Black
river, along with at least dozen and
a half houses, as the result of the
food that swept down from the Hat
field power dams The loss is esti-
mated by many at s1,000000, but the
more conservative place it at $750,00O.
The flood has abated considerably,
though the danger has not passed.
Little food is on hand, all grocery,
meat and provision stores having been
swept away. The lighting system is
out of commission, as well as the city
water supply Unless extra precau-
tons are taken most residents are of
the opinion that disease will assist the
torrent in dealing this city a blow
from which it will be hard to recover.
This is a city or ruin. Robbed of
il business enterprises and many of
its pretty dwellings,; given nothing in
return but the promise of more devas-
tation, this once proud center of
rich agricultural district is place
Of desolation and grief. Hundreds of
the 1000 population of Black River
Falls are moving away, whittier many
do not know.
Though no persons have lost their
lives here, so far as known, fear fire.
quently is expressed that the flood
may claim victims before it subsidies.
Though deep gloom still envelops
the city, there is widespread opti-
mistic comment on the future of Black
River Falls.

AID FOR PRESIDET
IN LAND PROBLEM
MI. Taft Promised Help Of Thir-
teen Western Governors.

Boise, Ida, Oct. Former Govern
or Brady of Idaho has promised Presi-
dent Taft to bring thirteen Western
governors to Washington next winter
to help him thresh out the question of
the disposition of the public domain.
The governor did not elaborate on his
idea for the solution Of the public
lands question, but Mr.. Taft himself
promised TO do all in his power at the
next session of congress TO have leg
islation enacted that will dispose of
some of the difficulties now confront
ing settlers on public lands. Such leg
islation, the president said, would not
interfere with the policy of conserva-
ton.
The principal grievances of settlers,
the president found, are the short time
in which first payments for land are
required; the length of tenure demand
ed OF a settler before he becomes own
er of the land and the fact that even
after a tenure Of five years title to the
land does not pass.
Mr.. Taft spent the day in Idaho,
making his first address at Pocatello
and practically closing the days work
here with a speech to several thou
sand people. United States Senator
Borah and former Governor Brady ac-
companied him on the trip across the
state.

Governor Appointed Following
Military Occupation.
ARABS PROMISE TO SUBMIT
Those Residing Near African City Go
Aboard Italian Warsnip and Ac-
knowledge Allegiance.

Tripoli, Oct. THE Italians have
established new government for
Tripoli. Rear Admiral Boreddolino
has been appointed governor. Captain
Calgni was made commandant of the
forces disembarked by the Italian
fleet
After Italian seamen had been land
ed and occupied Fort Sultania the
chiefs of the Arab tribes adjacent to
Tripoli went aboard the Italian flag
ship and expressed submission. They
begged the Italians not to resume the
bombardment.
The German consul, as the senior
member of the consular corps, also
visited the flagship and asked Vice
Admiral Faravilla to assume RESPONSE
bility for the preservation of public
order and the protection Of residents
in Tripoli, which had been abandoned
by the Turkish troops.
The admiral landed other detach-
ments of sailors with guns, including
quickfire pieces, and occupied Tripoli
in a military sense. This was accom-
plished without incident and the ap-
pointment of a governor followed.
The German consul informed Vice
Admiral Faravilla that during the
Smelling of the town no harm had
been done to any European or damage
to the property of Europeans.
