ENGLAND FACES COAL STRIKE
Miners Threaten to Repudiate Re-
Gently Enacted Minimum Wage
Bill and Quit Work.

London, May 13.-The recently en-
acted minimum wage act for miners
has already broken down and the
country is threatened with another
great crisis in the coal trade.
AS before, South Wales is the storm
center, the colliery 1aborers there OBJ
jecting to the decision of Lord St.
Aldwyn, chairman Of the local wages
board, which gives less than the 5
shillings a day which the men expect
ed to obtain under the new act.
At a conference at Cardiff of the
South Wales Miners Federation it
was decided not to participate further
in the work of the district wages
board until the whole situation has
been reviewed. A national conference
has been called to meet in London
this week.

WOULD GUST WOMAN MAYOR
Suit Brought by Aldermen of Hume
we'll, Kany Against Ella Wilson in
High Court.

Topeka, Kan. May 13.-The Hume
well custer suit was argued in the
supreme court. Attorney General Daw-
son represented Mayor Ella Wilson,
while Judge A. NJ Jackson of Win
field represented the cOuncilmen.
1t is expected the court will decide
the case early in June.
The troubles of the woman mayor
of Hunneweu and her councilmen are
we'll known. The council would not
work She tried to get the men to
indorse her appointments.
Finally she appealed TO the attorney
general The latter tried to get the
councilmen to work with the mayor,
but they refused. The custer suit was
the result.
The costs already have amounted
to more than the revenues of the
town for 20 years.

PROBE WILL BE DEEP
INQUIRY INTO ARcHBALD's CON-
DUCT TO BE THOROUGH.
Committee Will Ask Department Of
Justice for All Information in
Its Possession.

Washington, May 13.-There is to
be a thorough probe into the official
conduct Of Judge Robert w Archibald
Of the United States commerce court,
since his election as county judge of
LackaVanna county, Pennsylvania, in
tie impeachment proceedings now be-
fore the house judiciary committee.
The department of justice is to be
asked to give the committee all infor-
nation in its possession concerning
Judge Archibald and all that it can
gather in connection with Judge Arch
bald's decisions and activities since he
first donned the ermine.
Hesitancy by the department to
comply with the wishes Of the judi
ciary committee will be followed by
the passage through the house of a
resolution requesting the president to
direct that such information be sup
piled and authorization for the COM
mittee to conduct an independent in
yes legation.
While the preliminary trial Of Judge
Archibald by the committee has just
opened, developments have convinced
the committee that it's investigation
should be broader in scope than orig
inally planned New methods of pro-
cedure have been discussed in execu-
tive session and are being outlined.
The seriousness Of the case in the
opinion Of the committee will justify
the delay in making a report to the
house.
The taking of testimony with re-
spect to coal land transactions by
Judge Archibald since he went on the
commerce court will take about three
weeks, it is estimated from the num-
Der of subpoenas that have been is
sued by the committee.

STREW FLOWERS ON THE SEA

Went Down With Titanic.

New York, May 13.-To strew flow.
ers on the sea in memory of her hus.
band, who was lost in the Titanic dis
aster, Mrs. Henrietta c.. Loring of

Mrs. Loring took a great quantity
of the choicest flowers aboard the
Carmania at Liverpool. Last Friday
evening the vessel reached the meridi-
an Of the longitude Of the disaster,
though far to the south of it, and Cap
tain Dow ordered the ship stopped.
Mrs Loring, though i'll, was taken in a
steamer chair to the rail of the steam
er and while the other passengers
stood about with barred heads, dropped
the flowers onto the water.

PRESIDENT
FLEESFROM JUAREZ
Gomez Hastily Leaves in Night
For San Antonio.
is REPUDIATED BY ORozC0
Federal and lnsurrecto Armies Open
Battle Near Conejos, But News
From the Front Is Sharply
Censored.

FL Paso, Tex, May 13.-Emilio Vas
Quez Gomez, provisional president OF
Mexico, has disappeared. He slipped
out of Juarez during the night and is
now said to be en- route back to San
Antonio.
Gomez set up his provisional capital
in Juarez on May 4, in response to an
invitation of Gen. Pascual Orozco to
come to Chihuahua"
Orozco Repudiates Gomez.
Orozco repudiated him, however, as
provisional president and, after nego-
tiating for a week, Gomez finally left.
Orozco says he invited Gomez only
to come and consult with him and not
to set up a provisional government.
Gomez claimed that the same rebel
iunta that created Orozco asked him
to take the provisional presidency.
Fighting Is Resumed.
Fighting between federal and rebel
armies has been resumed, according
to kilograms received here. Gen. Pas
cual Orozco is directing the rebel
forces in person from Vermo, fourteen
miles north of Conejos, where his adj
vance guard now is located, and
twenty-ei miles north of Peronal,
headquarters of the advancing fed
erals.
Gen. Inez. Salhazar, who was defeat
ed by Gen. Trucy ALBERT at Carmen,
rejoined the main rebel army at Cone
jos.
News Is Censored.
General Orozco issued orders that
correspondents with the rebel army
should not go south of Escalon, and
indications are that all news is being
censored sharply.
1t appears certain that the rebels
have been driven north, as several days
ago they claimed to have occupied
Peronal, where the federals now are
maintaining headquarters.
Seeks Life of Villa.
So great has become the personal
enmity between Gen. Pascual Orozco,
leader of the Mexican rebel forces
and Gen. Francisco Villa, erstwhile
outlaw and now commander in Ma
dero's army, that General Orozco has
issued an order to his men that it
General Villa is captured he shall be
held until General Orozco can kill him
with his own hands. When told OF
General Orozco's order, General Villa,
who is near Bermejillo, drew up his
men and personally issued the same
order with regard to General Orozco.

Any Previous Fair.

Sunday Lafayette's fourth annua
Fair came to close with a record
breaking attendance. it being estimat
ed that five thousand people were on

of the Southern Pacific with excur
siOns.
The Fair this year has been q
splendid success financially and ev-
cry way. The exhibits were better
and the interest greater than pre-
viously and the promise is fine for a
bigger and greater Fair next year.
Friday there was a fair attendance
and one of the entertaining features
of the day were songs sung in Exhibit
Hall by an improvised chorus COM
posed mostly of members Of st.
Johns Catholic church choir, led by
Rev. Father Teurlings and accompa-
MED by Miss Mamie Rooney.
