SORTING TO VIOLENCE

Scranton, Pa, May 11.-A riotous
demonstration made by foreigners at
Olyphant colliery No. l, Delaware and
Hudson company, today resulted in
the killing of George RoberslSy, a.
year-old boy, by the state troopers.
The troopers were riding down a
crowd of rioters who were desperate
in their manner, displaying firearms
and hurling stones and clubs at the
state police
The boy was standing in The front
yard of his home, the mob nearly
defiantly daring the troopers to come
on. The mounted police moved for
ward just as a volley of stones struck
them. Several pistol shots were fir
ed by the crowd The troopers had
their guns ready and were ordered to
shoot. The police were ordered to
fire low and the bullet that hit the
boy was not intended for him. 1t
passed through his body over the
heart
The shooting for time cowed the
rioters, but they gathered iii greater
force as news of the boys death
spread. The police, however, appear
to have the situation well in hand
More troopers from the Peckvillr
station and from Wyoming Barracks
arrived at Olyphant shortly after the
shooting.
There was no trouble today at the
Cayuga breaker in North Scranton
where yesterdays disturbance occur
red and several men were wounded
State, local and railroad police still
are on the ground. Leaders of the
United Mine Workers are endeavoring
to keep the foreign speaking miners
throughout the region from gathering
in crowds about the mines.

Another Strike in Britain

London, May 1.-THE recently en-
acted minimum wage law for miners
has broken down and Great Britain
is threatened with another great cris-
is in the coal trade. Indications
point either to stampede in favor
of repudiating the act or a split in
the miners federation.
AS before, South Wales is the
storm center, the colliery laborers
there objecting to the decisions of
Lord st. Aldwyn, chairman of the To-
cal wages board, which gives less
than the five shillings day which the
men expected to obtain under the
new act.
At a conference today at Cardiff of
the South Wales miners federation.
it was decided not to participate fur
ther in the work of the district wag-
es board until the whole situation has
been reviewed. A national conference
has been called to meet in London
next week.
G. B. Stanton, the socialist leader
who took prominent Lart IN the
recent strike, again heads the revolt.
Stanton threatens to bring out all
the transport workers in support Of
the miners if it comes to strike.
Corporal George Dace, in charge OF
the state troopers. was placed under
arrest in connection with the shooting
of the boy. He was taken to the
state police barracks at Wyoming,
where bail was arranged for him.
All the special policemen Of the
Delaware and Hudson company were
hurried to Olyphant during the morn
ing to assist the state troopers in
maintaining order. 1he policemen
formed line around the breaker and
warned the men not to attempt to
cross it.

WONDERFUL DISCOVERY

ELECTRICITY TRANSMITTED BY
WIRELESS INCREASE WITH

Buffalo, N. Y, May 11.-Frank Wy
att Prentice, Toronto electrical emf
neer, in an address last night before
the Central Railway club here, gave
some details of experiments which
he declared demonstrates conclusive
ly that electricity, transmitted for
power or commercial purposes by
wireless really increases in velocity
and power the farther it goes from
the point of origin.
Discussing the commercial use OF
wireless power Mr.. Prentice suggest
ed that for automobiles and motor
trucks, receiving harps be placed on
the machine and wave wires Installed
at intervals along the roadway, ener-
gy being drawn through the air to
operate the machines.
A flying machine with a small fre-
quency motor could. according 10
Mr.. Prentice, fly at height Of 800
feet and draw sufficient power from
a wave wire along the ground. By a
similar device it win be found pos
sible. he believes 70 operate trains at

Bringing up the rear are the forces
OF General Rabajo, while off toward
the northwest near Sierra Mojada
General Trhcy Aubept, with 4.OOa
men. threatens to come due east to
Escalon to flank the main body OF
the insurrectos under Orozco. The
federal forces now number nearly TO-
600 men.
With reserves, it is estimated that
altogether about $4,000 men are
spread over the desert within ra.
dius of IS miles. The moon illumin.
ated the region most of the night,
and government troops crept cauti
onsly northward. Shortage of water
and food, and general unsanitary CON
ditions are having effect on both ar
mics. Fever among the soldiers is
prevalent.
The maneuvers of the last "a hours
indicate that General Salazar the reb.
ell officer next in command to Orozco,
was driven back and closely pushed
by General Aubert all of the way
from Cuatro Cienegas to Sierra Mo
jada. Salazar fled back to Orozco's
base at Escalon, and it was reported
at the federal camp that he was
wounded.
General Huerta, the federal chief,
reached the front last night near Per
onal, ut his camp could not be
reached by wire. General Tellez was
last in touch with him at midnight.
THE enemy are exhausted and
hungry said General Teller over the
wire from the box car telegraph Of
flee in his camp early today. "They
intended first to get behind us, going
east to Cuatro Cienegas, but the op
perfume arrival of my brave comrade,
General Trucy Aubert, intercepted
them, causing loss Of more than one
hundred dead. They were routed
shamefully, and still are being pur
sued.
The enemy likewise were beaten
at zaragoza and Lahuillo on the same
DAY. We found many of their dead
and wounded as we advanced today.
They left behind many horses and ia
their flight abandoned much ammuni
ton. We lost about ten or 12 killed
and few wounded. Our Intention is
to press northward Our troops are
full of spirit, and their equipment
could not be better. We have 25
pieces OF heavy artillery, beside many
machine guns and ammunition that
would last for months"

Fighting is Resumed

El Paso. May 11.-'Fighting be-
tween the federal and rebel armies
was resumed late yesterday afternoon
according to telegrams received to-
day. General Pascual Orozco was d.
recting the rebel forces in person
from Yermo. IA miles north of Con-
ejos, where his advance guard is 10
Gated, and 2S miles north of Peronal
Headquarters of the advancing feder-
ais.
General Inez Salazar. who was de
feated by General Trucy Aubert at
Carman, rejoined the main rebel army
at Conejos last night. General Oroz.
co issued orders that correspondents
with the rebel army should not go
south of Escalon and indications are
that all news is being censored sharp
ly.
1t appears certain that the rebels
have been driven north as some days
ago they claimed to have occupied
Peronal,. where the federals now are
maintaining headquarters. Instead Of
being on the defensive. the govern
ment BPS have, within the last "a
ho1fs pushed the attack vigorously,
forcing the rebels noHthward nearly 20
miles to Conejos, about POO niles
south of Chihuahua Peronal and
other towns occupied by the liberal
forces within the week have been
evacuated.
These facts became known early to-
day when telegraphic interview was
arranged between General JOAQUIN
Teller at the staff headquarters of
the troops north of Bermejillo and an
Associated Press Representative
here. it was learned that since ear
ly yesterday when communication was
established with the headquarters OF
General victoriano Huerta. the fed
eral commander-in-chief, the latter
had advanced nearly so miles. Hler-
ia, at daybreak today was near Per

about 15O delegates to the republi-

held another convention here today.
This followed a disagreement of the
Taft supporters with County Chair
man Guy E. Kelly.
Torger Peterson presented the
name of Judge Shackleford for tenn
porary chairman. Chairman Kelly
asked what precinct he represented,
and Peterson was unable to say. Kel-
ly ruled that Shackleford could not
be candidate because he was not a
delegate to the convention. Lorenzo
Dow then was elected.
The Taft supporters. declaring they
were being mistreated, organized a
separate convention and named P. @.
Sullivan chairman and f. }. Maxwell
secretary. They then named a com
mittee to select 81 delegates to the
state convention at Sheridan next
week.
A few Of the Taft men stayed with

Washington, May 1.-THE makeup
Of the republican national conven-
ton, so far as the original selection
Of delegates can determine it, will
be practically settled with in a week.
Including eight to be chosen today
at district conventions in Texas and
Arizona, more than 200 delegates are
to be selected in the eight days end
ing next Saturday About 100 will
then remain to be chosen, including
As from Ohio and "a from New Jer-
sey.
The widely divergent claims of the
Taft and Roosevelt managers make it
apparent that determination of the
actual control of the convention is
immpossible in advance of the meet
ing of the republican national com
mittee June 6. The committee will.
take up at that time contests involv
ing the seats of at least l64 delegates
and it is not unlikely that additional
contests will be announced by the
time the committee begins work.

the control of 16 delegates will not be
cleared until the state convention
next Tuesday, and in Kansas, where
the Roosevelt records show IA have
been chosen and the Taft records, 10.
Representative Mckinley, head OF
the Taft campaign, claimed 4S3 dele
gates for the president and conceded
237 to Colonel Roosevelt. Senator
Dixon, manager for Colonel Roose-
welt, claimed S19 for Roosevelt and
conceded 14S to Taft. The Roosevelt
managers contend that ia delegates
are uninstructed, including SO from
New York, and that 1874 are contest
ed. Both campaign committees, in
their tables, give Senator La Toilette
36 delegates and Senator Cummins 10.
Preparations for the two weeks
battle at Chicago over the seating OF
contested delegations, are being COM
pleted rapidly by the attorneys for.
both factions. While but few con-
tests have been filed thus far with
the national committee, the mana
gers and their attorneys will be ready
with all of the cases by May 29. the
date on which the papers must be
before the committee.
The delegations instructed for Taft
whose seats will be contested, ac
cording to the latest statement from
Dixen, are as follows:
Alabama 20; Arkansas 8; District
of Columbia 2; Florida 12; Georgia

The House passed the three-year
homestead bill, which has already

amended by the House committee on
public lands, adopting some Of the
features of representative Hanna's
bill. The bill now goes to confer
ence.
A telegram from Mr.. Hanna say
ing that he is sure it will now be.
come law received last night.
We believe this is one of the best
things that has been accomplished
or the northwest in many days. It
will tend to keep the people from
going to Canada and will settle up a
great deal of the public land now
left in this state. Mr.. Hanna Is de-
serving of much credit for his untir-
ing efforts in getting this bill passed.
