by Emile Berliner and DIR. G. Lloyd
Maervder at a meeting Of the MONDAY

who dealt with the municipalities re-

vention Of the disease.
Health officer w. c. Woodward de-
Tended the lawmakers. saying few
Congressmen realize the danger lurking
in the milk supply Of the District.
"It Ii plainly the duty of the prin-
cipal authorities to look as much after
the milk supply as to insure pure
water supply" said Mr.. Berliner. "In
fact, impure milk Is much greater
factor In swelling the amount OF sick
ness and the annual mortality, than i'm

Justice Wright announced the deci-
sion. of the court. 1t covered 72
closely typewritten pages and took
about two hours to read. Bondsmen
were on hand and attorneys for the
labor men gave notice of an intention
to file an appeal to have the su-

on the ground that the contempt pro-
ceedings had been improperly insti-

After Gompers had been sentenced
he attacked the decision, declaring

ic national committee at 2:15 p. m.
this afternoon appointed a committee

Committeeman p H. Hall of Nebras-
ka to confer with W. j. Bryan and
Alton B. Parker and their 'eAlers
with a view to preventing fight on
the floor of the convention over the
selection of temporary chairman. The
committee then adjourned until Z

The national committee took no
vote on the Craftsmanship before ad-
journment. 1t was learned that Com
mitteeman Hall had been the first to
protest against the ratification of
Parker and had been joined by Com
mitteeman Kramer.
Following the recess the chairman
announced that an agreement had
been reached to send a committee to
see Mr.. Bryan and Mr. Parker to sug-
gest means whereby harmony could
be reached before the convention
Chairman Mack and Mr.. Hall depart
ed to take up peace negotiations
Mr.. Hall made vigorous address
to the committee declaring the party
rank and file would protest against it
and that the delegates would not
stand for it."
Representative Henry of Texas, who
had been candidate for temporary
chairman of the progressive wing, de-
claring after a conference with Mr.
Bryan that compromise should east
ly be affected since the national
committee had indicated a disposi-
tion to prevent a clash on the floor.
'T will be eliminated from consid-

"we will accept any good progressive
for temporary chairman who can be
agreed upon. Senator Kern, Repre-

PITIA5LE SIGHT IN CAMP WHEN
THE PRISONERS ARE
EXECUTED.
AMERICANS ARE INTIMIDATED
LINED UP BY DRINk-cRAzED SOL.
pIERs AND FORCED TO PAY
HEAVY RANSOM.

J Ell Paso, June 24.-Word was re-
ceived here that at velardena Mexi.
co, forty federal volunteers captured
by General Campo, the rebel leader,
we're executed. Rebel officers Wed
with each other for me privilege of
conducting these executions One of
the pitiable sights was the killing of
federal volunteer about 65 years old
by a rebel soldier hardly out of his
teens.
Seventeen Americans in Velardena,
so miles west of Torreon, Mexico, re-
Gently were lined up against barn
while half dozen drink-crazed bri-
gands threatened summary execution
unless a million dollars ransom was
forthcoming. The "rebels" halted
their threats when $S,5OO in gold was
paid them. The story was told by a
party of witnesses here today.
Americans, they saio, had feared
the consequences of a revelation of
their plight through official channels
and only with the routing of rebel
columns under Generals Campo and
Areumedo after nearly two months
of depredations. had the facts begun
to come to light. Campo reached
Chihuahua city with 80 men out of
a force Of 5000 men, beclme involved
in quarrel with General Orozeo and
was jailed.
General Argumedo, however, with
about 1900 men is now ravaging the
state of Durango, pursued by the
federal commander, General Banquet.
Argumedo, it is said, is arranging to
make his way southwark to form a
junction with the Zapatistas.

Proeresslves Wait for Democrats.

Progressives Wait for Democrats. .
Madison, Wis, June 24.-Progres
sive republicans here will refuse to
talk of third party until after the
democratic convention. Those high in
republican councils said today ii
Bryan is nominated on a progressive
platform, the third party movement
viii be dead. All agree. however, il
the Bryan progressive program
should be defeated Wisconsin's pro-
grssives would favor the formation of
new party--without Roosevelt at
its head-which would embody the
followers of LaFollette and Bryan.
Some even go so far as to predict
that these two might becomes leaders
of the ticket.
An interesting dilemma has devel-
oped from the fact that the repuDli-
cans of Wisconsin have chosen pro-
gressive republican presidential cleo
tors, who, unless they resign, must
appear on the platform ticket as Taft
electors, and, according to an unwrit-
ten law, they would be morally bound
to vote for the president. Some of
the electors will resign, it is expect
ed, but leaders are advising no action
until the outcome, at Baltimore is
known.
