saloons? It's the saloons that hold
the town together! But I'm not afraid
of a popular vote"
Lew Kemper of Kemper & Whaley,
who runs the Eagle Bar, says:
81 don't believe in saloons. can't
understand why men drink. l never
tasted liquor or tobacco in my life.
I'm in it just for the money. If they
turn me out all right. I'll do some
thing else"
Fred Jay says:
'Let the people decide; 1 guess the
young fellows will be with me-"
And finally Ed Grossfield of Gross
field G. Treber, says:
There's too many saloons in this
town anyway. We can't all make a
living. don't care what they do"
And Mayor Jim" sits back in his
chair and says:
Neither do |. It's what the people
say! That's what goes in this town."

"Why not?"
Mayor Jim, who presides over the
destinies of Spearfish for salary of
just 81 a year, is no mere theorist, but
hard-headed, resolute old miner of
the gold-craze era, and now a pros
porous business man. He runs flour

Pm no reformer. Pm just clean

'sYou see, Pm for saloons, but

London.-The country residence OF

destroyed by bomb which the police
say was placed there either by militant

Nobody was injured, as the residence

society had no knowledge of the perpe.

Mrs. FLORIDA Drummond has declared
the explosion was the work of the wo-
men. She exclaimed:
at was fine act, and shows the de-
termination of the women. say, all

direction of harrassing cabinet ministers

A bomb had been placed in one of the
rooms of the residence, which is mod
one, adjoining the golf links on which
Lleyd-George plays. The Internal ma.
chine was SO powerful that the thick
walls of the house split in all directions
and most of the rooms were wrecked.
Two seven'pound cans Of black powder
also had been placed in two separate
rooms among heaps Of wood shavings
which had been saturated with oil, snd
in the center of which burning candles
had been fixed.
The only clews by the police are two
broken hatpins which We're found among
the wreckage.

Necessity for Retaining the Timber

Washington.-Luther Conant, Jr., COM
missioner of corporations, came out IN
opposition to the much discussed propo'
sition for liberation of monopolics un-
der government regulation and urged the
continuation of the policy which permits
competition among the industries OF the
United States.
In his annual report to Secretary Ma
gel the commissioner says that recent
decisions under the Sherman antitrust
act have demonstrated that that statute
is effective to reach consultations which
so cross the border line of monopolistic
control as to be detrimental to public
interest.
at is remarkable" he added, "that
after years of effort to maintain the
vital principle of the Sherman antitrust
act the fsrt real success in this direction
so far as industrial combinations are
concerned, should be accompanied by
rather widespread demand for the prac
tical abandonment of that principle and
the substitution therefor of regulated
monopoly. 1t should not escape notice
that among the foremost advocates o.
such regulated monopoly are representa-
tives of some of the most powerful con
solidations of the time"

R0UMANlA ASKS COAST STRIP
Relations With Bulgaria Are Strained to
Breaking Point.

London.-Tension between Roumania
and Bulgaria over the Balkan situation
has become acute. The European pow
ers, however, have taken steps both at
Sofia and Bucharest to lessen the fric-
tion and an offer of mediation between
the disputants is pending.
Roumania's latest proposal is that
Bulgaria should cede to her the Black
Sea coast as far as Cape Kallakra, as
well as the town of Baltchik, and in this
case Roumania would forego her demand
for the Bulgarian town of Silistria, which
the Bulgarians resolutely refuse to
give up.
Bulgaria objects to the scheme because
she declares the fortifcations on Cape
Kallakra would menace the Bulgarian
port of Varna, but the powers anticipate
that settlement will be brought nearer
by the latest developments.
News of the Balkan war is becoming
extremely meager. Dispatches from
Constantinople are subjected to long de-
lays and strict censorship One of the
cable routes has been interrupted near
Pera for several days.

HuERTA PRESIDENT

CABINET AND BROTHER OF MA

WILSON ADVISES HuERTA
Direct Movement Against Madero Re-
suit of Plot-Blanquet's Men We're
Always Half-Hearted in the
Fight.

Mexico City.-Francisco l.. Madero
has been forced out of the presidency.
He was arrested at the national palace
by Gen Banquet.
Gen. Victoriano Huerta, commander OF
the federal troops, was proclaimed pro-
visonal president.
About the time Madero was seized by
Banquet, his brother, Gustavo Madero,
the former minister of finance, was ar
rested by Gen. Huerta, who was dining
with him in a public restaurant
All members pf the cabinet We're
promptly placed under arrest, with the
exception of Ernesto Madero, the uncle
of the president, who held the portfolio
of finance. He was apprised OF the in
tentions against the government and
managed to make his escape.
Diaz Behind Move.
An agreement between Gems. Banquet
and Huerta was reached, but the in
timation Blanquet's men had OF the new
role they were to play was shortly be-
fore the successful stroke was made.
Banquet drew up his men in order and
delivered stirring speech.
"This inhuman battle must end' he
said. "The time has come when some
drastic means must be taken to stop
conflict in which father is killing son,
and brother is fighting against brother;
when noncombatants are sharing the
fate of war--and all this because of the
caprice of one man."
Banquet then issued orders for the
arrest of the president and assigned u
detachment to that duty. Madero was
soon a prisoner in his own rooms.
One reason given for the attitude of
Gen. Banquet from the beginning was
the presence of his son in the ranks OF
Daz.
When the arrest of the president and
his ministers became known, crowds
gathered in the streets, through which
they paraded shouting "vivas" for Huerta
and Diaz. A conference was held be-
tween the representatives of these two
generals and an agreement was reached
whereby the appointment of Gen. Huerta
to the provisional presidency was pro-
claimed.
A few loyal members of Madero's staff
rushed into the room when Madero was
struggling with the soldiers, and went
to his rescue, but Intellectually.

STRIKE OF FlREMEN AVERTED
Railways Yield and Agree to the Arbi.
tration Proposition.

New York.-There will be no firemen's
strike on the Eastern railroads. The
railroads yielded and agreed to arbitrate
under the Erdman act the controversy
with the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Firemen and Enginemen. The firemen
had stood to man for this method of
arbitration ever since the deadlock be-.
gan The railroads had stood firm for
arbitration before commission of six
or seven men.
Three men, acting under the law, will
decide the fremen's claims. Their de.
cison will be binding.
Throughout the mediation proceedings
the railroad managers bitterly opposed
arbitration under the Erdman act on
the ground that it was unfair to place
so much responsibility on the shoulders
OF the odd man on the board. They
vehemently reiterated this protest in Civ
ing ground, and declared that their onlv
reason for yielding was that the pub
lie would not tolerate strike.

$4,000 TO RELEASE THAW
Superintendent Russell of Matteawan
Saws He Refused Money.

Albany, N. Y.-Dr. John w. Russell,
superintendent of the Mattcawan State
Hospital for the Criminal Insane, testi-
fed before Gov. Suffers committee of
inquiry that he had been offered $4,000
if he would release Harry X. Thaw. The
offer, he said, was made during the lat
ter part of 1912, by lawyer, whose
name he could not remember, in an
uptown hotel" in New York City, and
was refused. This testimony was de-
veloped during an investigation of re-
ports that William f. Clark, secretary
of the committee, recently had request
ed DR.. Russell to release Thaw on the
ground that such action was desired by
Gov. Sulzer. The governor himself had
stated previously that he had authorized
no one to make such request.

NAVAL FORCE
AT GAUTANAMo
EMPTY ARMY TRANSPORTS HAVE
BEEN ORDERED TO GALVESTON.
TAFT REPLIES TO MADERO
Says Reports That the united States
Will Land Troops Is Inaccurate-No
Pledge Has Been Made for the
Future, It Ic Said.

Washington.-Two thousand United
States marines from various barracks
along the Atlantic coast were ordered to
Cuba, there to be held in readiness for
possible use in Mexico. Half Of them
wal leave from Philadelphia on the army
transport Meade, already on its way
from Newport News for the purpose. The
second thousand will start from Norfolk
on the naval transport Prairie, which, It
is expected, will clear Wednesday. The
marines will be drawn from the bar
racks at Norfolk, Washingtn, Phila-
delphia, New York, Portsmouth, Boston
and Charleston.
Guantanamo is the present objective
point of the marines, who will be estab-
lished in camp in connection with the
fleet under command of Rcar-Admiral
Badger. Whether these men will get
further than Guantanamo will depend OH
Mexican developments.
Two army transports at Newport
News were ordered by the War Depart
ment to proceed empty to Galveston,
Tex, Immediately. The order was given,
1t is understood, SO that transports
might be ready, in case of serious devel-
opments, to convey troops from the bor-
der to Vera Cruz.
After President Taft's message to
President Madero, disclaiming any pur-
pose at this time to land troops in Mex
leo, further precautionary measures were
taken to safeguard lives and property
of Americans in Mexico, so far as that
could be done without actually dispatch
ing military force to the country.
This problem has been greatly COM
plicated by the act of the Madero gov
ernment, possibly without the actual di-
rection of President Madero, in sending
broadcast through Mexico news that
armed intervention by America was
about to occur, in the ohpe of inducing
malcontents to drop their temporary
quarrel with the government and re.
spond to the patriotic call to repel for
eign invasion.

Plymouth, England.-Dr. Friedrich T.

terview on board the Kronprinzessin Ce-
ellie on his way to America to demon
strate the value of his remedy. He said:
II feel that the first step should take
in the United States should be to treat
cases OF visible tuberculosis in the pres
ence OF American physicians. l thereby
accomplish the double purpose of in
strueting them and proving the efficacy
OF the use of the live germs. What /
mean by visible tuberculosis is fungi, in
the knee, for instance, which are visible
to the eye. I shall be glad if any doctor
or important institution in the Un'te,l
States will give me a chance to treat
such cases."
