OPERATORS READY
TO REOPEN MINES
Progress Slow Because Fires
Are Banked.

Calumet, Mich, July 29-Mine oper-
ators of the Superior copper district
are prepared to follow the advice of
the state militia commanders and re-
sumo operations with every available
man of the $4,000 miners who have
been idle since July 23 as a result
of the Western Federation of Miners
strike. Because of the fact that fires
had been banked for days In most of
the plants the work progressed slowly.
The first shots of the strike were
fired at the Isle Royale mine. A SEN
try guarding powder house detected
several men approaching the place
and fired when they failed to heed his
command to halt The intruders fed
and a company OF the guardsmen
secured the district for half a mile in
all directions, but without making any
arrests.
On the south range the first task
of the operators was to replace on the
cables the heavy scoops, which had
been dropped down the shafts last Fri.
day at the command of strikers.

WILL MAKE SHIPS "SWIM'

Small Boats at Great Speed.

Chicago, July 29.-Elmer Franklin
Bubb has made application for a pat
ent that he claims will revolutionize
ocean travel.
II have devised new method of
propulsion for vessels" he declared.
"It has not been thoroughly tested yet,
but l believe 1t applicable to small
boats. 1t will drive them at a rate OF
at least $50 miles per hour. That will
make it possible to cross the Atlantic
In twenty hours or little more"
The principle for which Mr.. Bubb
has applied for basic patent can best
be described by saying that he en-.
deavors to make the ships swim"
A series of immense steel tubes are
arranged on the side of the vessel.
They are set in pairs opposite each
other. A piston with q gate on each
connects each pair.
When the piston is moved in the d.
rection the vessel is going the gates
are parallel to it. When 1t reverses
they are perpendicular, forcing the
vessel forward.

HIGH OFFICIALS
VERY RETICENT
Wilson and Bryan Silent on
Mexican Policy.
SITUATION NOT SERIOUS
President Declares He Does Not Be-
Iieve the Public Mind in the United
States Is Excited Over Occurrences
In the Southern Republic.

In the Southern Republic.
Washington, July 29.-President
Wilson does not believe the public
mind in the United States is excited
over the situation in Mexico nor is he
convinced that crisis has been reach.
ed in the revolution itself.
This information was obtained In
official circles with an authoritative
denial that any proposal looking to,
ward a cooperation betweeen Ameri
can military forces and the Mexican
government at restoration OF peace
had been suggested.
Those who approached th1 presi.
dent on the Mexican situati IN found
him disinclined to discuss it, as later
he was to confer with Ambassador
Henry Lane Wilson. Secretary Bryan,
who arranged to see the president be-
fore the conference, also was reticent
of Mexican affairs.
The president has received from Am.
bassador Wilson historical accounts OF
events in Mexico in the last three
years The ambassador himself de-
clared he had not mentioned any rem.
edies of the situation to any one and
he had not even put on paper the
plans he had in mind. He had re.
served these, he said, for his personal
interview with the president.
Situation Is Unchanged.
Contradictory information has reach
ed the Washington government re-
garding the stability of the Huerta
administration. 1t was said to be a
question of reliability of iIFormants
Oficials declined to state which re
ports were being credited. 1t was
said, however, that in the last ten days
there had been little or no change in
the ST. us of affairs in the Southern
republic.
The shooting of Charles b. Dixon,
Jr., at Juarez, is regarded as serious
incident, but it's bearing on the gen.
eral Mexican situation is being mini.
mized by officials here, as the Ameri.
can demand for the investigation and
punishment of the offenders apparent
ly were being complied with.
At the White House it was said the
United States would pursue a course
OF diligent inquiry into the affair and
would insist on summary action
against the guilty.
Secretary Bryan sought information
through a conference with President
Brown of the Mexican National rail
ways on traffic conditions in Mexico
and their relation to the paralyzed
condition of commerce and industry.

rich tariff law as the Gettysburg
where the factions OF the Republican
party were formed in battle array"
that led to triumph OF the Democratic

the pending tarif1 bill, which he con.
demned.
This BILL" Senator Townsend said,
was conceived in hatred of the Amer
lean policy of protection and brought
forth In the darkness of the secret eau
Gus chamber under the professional
charge of one who has never had any
experience in business obstetrics. Is
II any wonder that the thing is mis-.
shaped and deformed?"
Senator Townsend also criticised
executive interference" and caucus
domination.
Injecting comments on the lobby in
quiry In the senate and house SEN
ator Townsend said that criticism of
improper action should be based upon
unquestioned facts and not upon in
nuendo or falsehood, and continued:
Sensational Is Featured.
To-day as at all times in the past
the sensational is too prominently fea-
tured and too little attention given to
the truth. Indeed a saturnalia of
abuse and Misrepresentation seems to
be reigning and in congress the two
houses are struggling to get posses
sion OF self-convicted scoundrels who
have capitalized for financial gain the
existing disposition to abuse the ma
tional legislature"
Referring to the fears of business
disaster the senator declared:
IF business disaster prematurely
comes Its coming will be due more to
the oft-expressed fears of this admin
istration than to any efforts by wicked
business men, who as patriots are eY-
pected to be happy the while their
business is threatened with destruc-
tion and themselves with prosecution.
There Is one thing which stands
out clearly at this time and that is
this:
The administration would be SUI
premely happy If 1t was well assured
that the condition OF the country
would be no worse than 1t is today.
1t has no real hope that things will
be better; 1t justly fears they will be
worse and 1t is looking every where
for some scapegoat for its own handi-
work"
