Men Convicted in Oregon Land Frauds
Say They Were Denied Rights.


Washington, June 5. - The causes
(which controlled President Taft in
granting an unconditional pardon to
Willard N. Jones, convicted in the
famous Oregon land fraud cases, be
came known and it was learned that
based upon the same charges OF un-
fair and improper methods by the

ton of the alleged frauds which stir
red the country six years ago, appll-
cations for the presidential pardon OF
two other men are being considered
by the department of justice.
Franklin P Mays and Hamilton II.
Hendricks are seeking pardons on the
ground that they likewise were denied
their constitutional rights.
Mays, indicted with the late Senator
Mitchell and former Representative
Herman, was convicted of conspiracy
and sentenced to four months lmprl-
sonment and to pay fines of $4,000.
Hendricks was convicted of suborna-
ton of jerjury and sentenced to IL
months and to pay a fine OF $500.
Consideration of their appeals for
executive clemency will be based upon
the investigation which resulted in
Jones pardon. These cases have not
yet reached the president.

Mexico CITY Now Menaced.

Chihuahua, June 5.-General Pas
cual Orczco, chief of the revolution in
northern Mexico, formally sanctioned
an attack on Mexico City by Emiliano
Zapata, rebel leader in the south. An
emissary from Zapata was informed
by Orozco that he would permit the
attack on the Mexican capitol provid-
ed the southern leader would not mo-
lest foreigners and could dominate the
situation. The sending OF the envoy
to Orozco confirms earlier claims OF
the rebels that they are acting in
unison.

COLD KILLS BEE COLONIES
State Inspector Reports Past Winter

Madison.-The past winter was
one of the hardest in many years in

report by Inspector of Apiaries N. E.

Wisconsin foul brood wrought much
havoc, many keepers losing all their
colonies. The disease has been
stopped, however. European foul
brood, known in New York as black
brood, and which in that state de-
stroyed 70 per cent of the bees be-
fore being checked, now has reached
Wisconsin and several other states

ELECTION RIOTS
IN BELGIUM
OVER 100 ARE KILLED AND
WOUNDED IN CLASHES WITH
GENDARMES.
SOCIALISTS WANT STRIKE
$4,000 Reservists Will be Called Out
Agitation is Assuming Revolution
ID airy Character and Rapidly
.G"t Spreading.

Brussels, June 5.-The post-election
riots in Belgium have taken on a
revolutionary character. Following
troubles at Liege and other places the
Socialist central committee declared
that it would proclaim a general strike.
AT Antwerp enc battalion of scouts
and a section of artillery of the civil
guard joined the manifestants. They
rebelled against the police authorities
and vented their feeling in demolish-
ing windows. The clerical press de-
mands the dismissal of these troops.
In addition to the trouble at Liege
and Verviers, where gendarmes fired
upon a crowd, killing or wounding over
fifty persons, among whom were two
children, there WAS less serious rioting
at Bruges, Tounai, Client, Louvain,
Antwerp and in this city.
Several Jesuit colleges and Catholic
institutions were attacked by mobs
and the windows. of the buildings
smashed. The gendarmes charged the
rioters with broadswords.
The favorite CRIES of the manifest
ants are those demanding the admin
istrative separation of the Flemish and
the Walloon provinces. Some of the
newspapers report a growing senti-
ment among the working classes in
the Walloon districts of the southeast
in favor of the annexation of their
provinces to France.
&, TWO I, NH,
out the country and $4,000 reservists
Will be called out.
At Liege enormous damage was
done by the rioters. The streets in the
center of the city were piled high with
broken tables, chairs, beams, planks
and stones, which were the arms used
by the mob in their attacks on the
police. The tramways were wrecked.
In the Place st. Lambert, the rioters
overturned the street cars and used
them as barricades from behind which
they hurled missiles at the police, in
juring several.
A score of persons were wounded in
a fight with gendarmes. Mobs at
tackled several converts breaking the
windows of the buildings. The rioters
also smashed all the windows on
. stores in several streets.
Mons.-Two thousand miners struck
in protest against the maintenance of
the present government.
Verviers. A mob assailed the
gendarmes with missiles. The gen.
darmes charged repeatedly and when
the rioters refused to dispense opened
fire. Thirty Of the mob fell, killed OF
wounded. Seven gendarmes were in
iured. Many arrests were made.

REBELS NEARING SANTIAGO
PRESENCE or U. S. VESSEL Is
DEEMED ADVISABLE.
Constitutional Guarantees Suspended
in the Province of
Oriente.

Havana, June 5.-The senate COM
mittee on laws reported recommen-
dation for the passage OF a law en-
powering President Gomez TO suspend
the constitutional guarantees; but only
in the province of Oriente. The sus-
pension Of the guarantees in the other
provinces was considered unnecessary
and inadvisable, especially on account
of the approaching elections. The bill
doubtless will pass both houses.
The text of the report of the com
mittee was communicated Immediately
to the American minister, Arthur NJ
Beaupre. The American consul at
Santiago, Ross E. Holiday, expressed
to General Monteagudo, the Cuban
commander in chief, that in his opin-
ion it would be advisable to have an
American warship stationed at San
tiago where there is acute alarm on
account of the presence of strong
bodies of rebels which have advanced
and exchanged shots with the police
and volunteer guards. 1t is reported
that the United States gunboat Pa
ducah will arrive at Santiago soon.
Sixteen negroes who were confined
in Jail at Guanajay on the charge of
conspiracy escaped. They were pur-
sued and eight were killed and one
captured
Extraordinary police precautions
continue at Havana in consequence
of the persistence of the rumors Of
an intended negro uprising. Many
American families are arriving at Ha'
Vana from the outlyino districts
