Country Girls In German cItle

Last year over 100000 girls from
German villages and small towns
were engaged at work In the large
cities to earn their living. The most
favorable working conditions were
obtained by some 100000 girls, who
found employment as servants in
housework. and OF these large num-
ber became more independent by TAX
ing over small stores. ouch as gro
cery and delicatessen shops. The
largest numbers were employed In
factories-some 10000 In cotton
mills and $4,000 In tobacco works
About 1870 or more were employed
In hotels. restaurants and bars. but
most OF them had first spent some
time In other city industries. In
Iaundries $500 women and girls we're

In department stores. at an average

dlcted by Grand Jury. 81

Santa Fe, N. Nan appeal for aid
to prevent the massacre of the Indian
agency forces at Ship Rock, on the
Navajo reservation in northwestern
New Mexico, was received by United

gram from the agent says the Indians
threaten to kill the whites at the
agency unless the government drops
prosecution of eleven Indian outlaws
indicted by federal grand jury on
charges Of riot and assault.
Upon receipt of the appeal the
United States marshal telegraphed
the sheriff of Mckinley county to go
to the reservation with deputies and
Hudspeth himself left for the scene
Of the trouble with a posse.
After the indictment of the eleven
outlaws Marshal Hudspeth spent
three weeks at the reservation and
obtained a promise from the chiefs OF
the tribe that the indicted men would
surrender on November IL. Thinking
the matter settled, he returned. :.
There are about 500 Navajos in the
vicinity Of Ship Rock who have never
visited the agency nor acknowledge
the authority OF the United States.

REQUISITION FOR THkW
Attorneys VIII Attempt 70 Obtain
Release Of Whites slayer Under
Writ Of Habeas Corpus.

Concord, N. H.-Governor Felker on
Saturday honored the requisition Of
the state OF New York for the extradi-
ton Of Harry X. Thaw. The case IS
now transferred automatically to the
federal courts, where writ of habeas

The governor passed his decision on
the indictment returned against Thaw
in New York county, which charged
him with conspiracy to escape from
the insane asylum at Matteawan, N.
Y, to which he was committed after
his second trial for the killing of
Stanford White Thaw made his SEN
sational flight on August II and few
days later were arrested near Coasti-
cook, Canada.
Thaw's attorneys announced that
they would Immediately file an amend
ment to their petition for a writ OF
habeas corpus, application for which
was made after Thaw was arrested in
this state after his deportation from
Canada The original petition was
based on the allegation that Thaw was
indicted for conspiracy by the Dutch
ess county grand jury and it was
suspended pending the governors de
cision on the question of extradition
Because the extradltion has now beer
granted on the strength of the New
York county indictment 1t will be nee
essary to amend the petition accord

In outlining his attitude General
Diaz said that In the present situa-

10 the United States it was not a
question of whether Huerta was the
best man for the presidency, nor was
ct a question of whether the revolu-
4iOnists were right or wrong; it was
. question of patriotism. He coun-
seled General Huerra to renounce
any feelings Of personal prestige or
power and thus save Mexico from a
calamity.
General Diaz has met many Mexi.
cans here. friends of Huerta, friends
nd Madero and a number of his own

affairs thoroughly with them. He has
been urged to take an attitude for OF

WOULD TAP UTAH WEALTH.
Capitalists Form Plans for Expend.
ing Billion Dollars in Developing
and UTILIZING Resources.


Salt Lake City.--A gigantic scheme.
which involves the development of the
resources of southern Utah, western
Colorado and northern Arizona on
large scale, was unfolded Monday by
ROllo T. Clapp. Chicago civil engi
neer, who with associates has spent
the past seven years in making sur
vey of the great Colorado basin with
this end In view.
Mr.. Clapp says 1t Is a billion dol
Lar proposition and that 1t will be
backed by capitalists of Utah and I'LL
nois and eastern and European bank
ers.
The nucleus of the development
will be an 1.s0O-mile railroad to be
built connecting the Mississippi val
ley with tideWater at San Diego, and
crossing southern Utah BY means
of this projected line dt Is proposed
to open UP vast timber resources In
southern Utah and northern Arizona,
and also to develop for commercial
uses deposits of high class hematite
ores In Washington county, of which,
hir. Clapn says. there are approx
mately 4sO,00O.O00 tons. The capital
lists back of the proposition also have
in mind the erection of big pig iron
and steel plants at tidewater for the
Utilization of these deposits, and In ad-
dition propose to erect large coke and
coaling stations for handling millions
of tons annually from Utah's vast I'M
developed resources. Two large irri-
cation schemes are also included in
the program for the development of
the Colorado basin.
