CANADIAN MARRIAGES
 FINAL ADJUDICATION
The Question Carried to the Highest
 Tribune.

LONDON July 21.-The appeal of the Lancaster marriage bill which was recently adjudicated upon by the su- preme court of Canada, will be taken before the privy council tomorrow. A decision IS required upon the case in order to secure final settlement relat- ing to deleral and provincial jurisdic- tion in addition to other points. The Hon. C. J. Doherty, minister of jus tice of Canada, has charge of the mat ter, which. he says has given rise to very considerable agitation, while a great deal of strong feeling has been generated by the fact that the validity of marriage, at all events, between Protstants and Roman Catholics was dependent upon the ceremony being performed before a Roman Catholic priest.
 Certain portions of the Canadian community. declare the minister of justice, regard this as constituting a serious evil. The government of Can ada realizes the importance of the matters involved, and it is the general desire that they should be finally sett- led by the judgment of the highest tri bunal in the realm.

Further Details of the Butchery of Passengers of a Train and Escort By A Hand of Ambushed Zapatistas
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATCHI


 MEXICO CITY, July 21.-Eighty- four persons fell victims to the say agery of the Zapatistas when they attacked and later burned a Mexico Cuernavaca train yesterday, near Fares. on the edge of the federal district Three of the wounded died last night at the railway hospital. A second relief train which reached Mexico City early today brought twenty three passengers who es- capped butchery and made their way into Tres Marias, a few miles away. Eleven were accounted for last night.
 It is estimated that the train car- ried approximately 75 passengers, in addition to fifty soldiers of the es- cort. Forty three soldiers were killed. Nine bodies of passengers were found near the wreck. Of the remaining thirty two, a majority are believed to have been killed or wounded and consumed in the burning cars, which were fired with oil taken from the tank of the locomotives.
 Before the attack upon the train horde routed a small garrison of fed erals at Fares. Many women of the camp fell into their hands and were subjected to indescribable barbarities.
 The wife of the chief of the de- tachment was found horribly muti- lated

Creditable Publication Reflects School Life of Army and Navy

If the commencement number" of the Cadet, published by the San Die gon army and navy academy is any thing to go by, that little school is certainly a most attractive place to pass undergraduate years.
 The last issue, of which The Repub- lican received a copy, is a finely illus trated we'll arranged annual that would to credit to a much larger school than the academy. Bound in an attractive white and gold cover is a chronicle of the stirring events of school life for the year ending in the spring or 1912, school work, sports and athletics and drills
 Neat half tones are used to illumin- ate the text. One photo in particular should appeal most fervently to Phoe- nicians. for it shows a crew of boys enjoying water stunts of the alluring kind.
 All together. the Cadet is a novel and interesting example of undergrad uate publication. Its features and de- partments are most creditably gotten up, and the whole is a true mirror of academy enthusiasm and the sprightly activity of youth.

GATHERED 4 FORTUNE
 \ HUMBLE GARDENER
Though to be Poor Man he is a
 Capitalist.
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATCH1

OAKLAND, July 21-An interesting tale of fortune secretly accumulated was unfo)ded in superior court here today when an application was made by relatives to have Joseph Kelly de- clared incompetent and have a guar dian appointed to look after his af- fairs.
 For twenty years Kelly had been 8 gardener Cn the estate of the late Gov ernor Stanford at Palo Alto at SAC a month. Since his employment al Palo Alto ceased, he has been follow ing his occupation and was supposed to be living on the slender pittance that his work brought him.
 The testimony in court reveiled that Kelly is q capitalist with extensive in- terest and is the posseSSor of a fat bank ac count. He is worth $170,000 oi which $32.000 is cash in bank.
 Kelly is eighty three years old. IT years gone by he was an attache ir the state legislature and, as has beer shown by the presence of some state officials salary drafts among his ef- fects that never have been cashed, he scalped warrants for the public ser wants. l. is thought this was the for mer nucleus of his fortune.

 Tine great capitalists are conserva- tives stand patters and have a strangle hold on the situation with no intention of relaxing their grip" He said: Taft and Roosevelt are their candidates. It may be objected that Roosevelt is a progressive. That's mere buucombe. RooseVelt's record is known. When he was in office and had power he did none of the things nor attempted to do any of the things he is now talking about so wildly.

If Roosevelt Claimed Nomi- nation as a Republican It Would Be Different - Sees No Inconsistency in Supporting Wilson.
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATCH1

WASHINGTON, July 21.-The con- troversy between Senator John D. Works and progressive leaders of California advanced another stage to- day when the senator was called up on by telegraph by Lieutenant Gov ernor A J. Wallace to inform the progressive voters whether he in tended to vote for Roosevelt, Taft or Wilson.
 Works wired back: q will not vote for Taft. I would have voted for and aided in the election of Roosevelt if he had stood on his just rights to the nomination at Chicago: and run as a republican I will not follow him into a new party. I be- lieve the new party abandons that which would make his claim invul- nerable.'
 Senator Works added that whether he would now vote for Roosevelt depends on how he is nominated; i; whether he runs as a republican"
 He further said that he felt he could, as progressive republican. vote for Wilson consistently, if no republican other than Taft was nomi- hated.
