STRIKERS IN COLORADO
FIRE u. S. POST0FFLCE
Union Miners Then Go to Empire
Property and Riddle the Boiler
House With Bullets.

Trinidad, Colo, Oct. 31.-Fighting
among the striking miners in the
southern Colorado coal fields shifted
from Ludlow and it's immediate vicin-
ity to AguiIar, six miles north of the
big Ludlow tent colony Wednesday.
Possible federal complications were
precipitated at the office of the South
western Fuel company, where a battle
waged between strikers and a handful
Of mine guards.
After defeating the guards and re-
capturing the mine Office, in which
the postoff1ce also is situated, the
strikers are charged with having
knocked over stove, setting fire to
the building which was destroyed, to-
States mail, money orders and money.
Postmaster Arthur Samples de-
clared evidences were present that
the mail had been rifed before the
building was fired, since envelopes,
opened, were found near by, half
burned
The mine office also was destroyed
with all its contents, the camp hay
ing been surrendered wholly by the
guards.
The miners then went to the En-
pire mine of the same company and
there began an attack. No resistance
was offered them and they withdrew
shortly, doing no more damage than
Kidding the boiler-house with bullets,
No one was injured in either camp.

BIG SENSATION CAUSED
BY INDIANA CONGRESSMAN
Representative Gray Objects to Civ
ing Wedding Present to Miss Jes-
sic Wilson.

Washington, Nov. IA cOmmOtion
was caused in the house Thursday
when Representative Gray Of Indiana
denounced his colleagues in that body
for presenting S. apiece to fund. the
purpose of which is to purchase we'd
ding present for Miss Jessie Wilson,
daughter of the president. Gray de-
cIared members were getting "too "a
miliar with the presidents family"
4 think this movement is in bad
taste, indiscreet and an unwarranted
assumption by members of this
house." said Gray.
q do not think we should tender a
trinket to this lady. Most Of us are
strangers to her, and it is bad form
for us to intrude."
Gray asserted he had contributed
his So with the understanding that it
should be devoted to a charitable pur-
pose. and then added that Republican
Leader James R. Mann was RESPONSE
bic for the scheme to give Miss Viii
son a wedding present.
81 want him to tell us why he did
it." said Mr. Gray. Let him speak,
not as a Republican, but from the
standpoint of Jacksonian economy and
Jefferson simplicity, let him say why
we should do such a thing"
Mann made this reply;
After hearing the gentleman from
Indiana, l think it would be hopeless
to try to put into his soul the expires
sion which finds itself in the heart of
every other member of the house.
Other members DO not need to be told
why"

HIGH COURT HOLDS
BAKER LAW VALID
WISCONSIN SUPREME TRIBUNAL
RULES IN LIQUOR LICENSE
TEST CASE.
MAY CLOSE 2,0OO SALOONS
State Sustained on Every Point
Court Declares One Saloon to Ev-
cry $50 Inhabitants Is Limit-Many
Milwaukee Licenses Invalid.

/ ADMINISTRATIVE supreme court al
Madison has sustained the constitu-
tionality of the Baker law which linn
its the number of saloons to one to
every $50 inhabitants and prohibits
the transfer Of licenses from one 10
cation to another until the ratio is
within the limit.
The effect CT this decision is to null
lily nearly 1000 licenses granted last
July in various localities Of the state.
Over two hundred licenses are inval-
idated in Milwaukee alone.
The state is sustained on every
point. The court holds that the limi-
tation fixed by the legislature only
operates to create a preference tenn
porarily and that provisions for one
saloon to every $50 people are pre-
sumably adequate facilities for
quenching all lawful thirst"
The courts decision is given in a
test case brought by Frank ZodroW
Of Milwaukee, who was convicted OF
having sold liquor without license.
His defense was that he had been
granted a license by the common coun-
Gil but the state contended the license
was invalid, as the council had no
authority to grant it under the terms
of the Baker law.

opinion Given TO Game Warden

son for Deer.

Madison.-That a county highway
commissioner, trustee of d county
asylum and the turnkey at the coun-
ty jail are county officials, but that
the county physician and the super
intendent of the asylum are not coun-
ty officials is held in an opinion by
Attorney General Owen.
In another opinion it is held that
where county board of supervisors
has elected a chairman and a vice
chairman and the person elected as
chairman resigns the board is not au-
thorized to elect a new chairman. In
such case the attorney geSeral
holds that the vice-chairman will
succeed to the craftsmanship. This.
he says, is in conformity with the
evident purpose of the law to pro-
vide that when the county board
meets it will organize permanently.

SURGEON KILLED BY BLAST
Explosion of Disinfecting Apparatus
at the National Soldiers Home Costs
Life of Maj. Oscar ChrysIer.

Mflwaukee.-Maj. Oscar Chrysler,
chief surgeon at the National Sol
diers' Home, was instantly killed in
an explosion which wrecked the dis
injecting apparatus in the laboratory
at the home grounds. While the
major was sterilizing mattresses and
blankets in the basement of the hos
pital building he noticed a jet of
steam escaping from the disinfect-
ing apparatus and stepped in front
of the machine to test the clamps
holding the boiler doors in place.
The explosion which occurred at
the same moment broke all of the
sixteen clamps holding the door, and
knocked Major Chrysther to the far
thest wall of the room. 1t was found
on examination that a small piece of
steel from one of the door clamps
had pierced the majors skull.

Many Hunters Get Licenses

Madison-That the number of resi-
dent game licenses issued in 1913 will
exceed the number issued in 1912 by
1000 is the opinion of Chief Game
Warden Sholts, who said that already
many counties have exceeded last
years records and have found it neces-
sary to ask for more blank forms
Last year the total number of resi-
dent licenses issued was 10000 at 81
each. The record also shows that for
the present year the number of IL
censes granted to non-residents for
deer and small game exceeds the rec
ord Of last year at the present time, al
though the rush season for deer hunt
ing licenses has not yet arrived. The
number Of deer licenses granted up
to date is 1913.

SETTLE EXPRESS RATE CASE
Suits to Restrain Order Of Railroad
Commission Will Be Dropped
by Companies.

Madison-The suits brought by the
express companies operating in Wis
consin to restrain the enforcement of
the recent order of the state railroad
commission, reducing the rates on
merchandise about 20 per cent, have
been settled by agreement between
the state and the companies whereby
the railroad commission is to issue
supplemental order substituting rates
similar to those recently ordered by
the interstate commission for the
rates ordered by it.
AS soon as the supplemental order
is issued the express companies will
move 20 have its suits dismissed. The
new rates are to into effect at the
same time as thoee ordered by the in
terstate commission, which will be on
December 1, or soon thereafter. The
state railroad commission considers
that the new rates to be ordered will
be practically as low as those recently
ordered by it.

WONENTELL Of PLOT
To MURDER HUERTA
Were Offered Money to Entice
President to Lair.
ALLEGED ASsAsSMs SEIZED
Admiral Fletcher Ordered to Trans
fer Gen. Diaz From Warship to
Boat Bound for the
United States.

City of Mexico, Nov. Police Of
the federal capital are making thor
ough search for evidence Of an alleged
plot against the life of Provisional
President Huerta, which was disclosed
to the officers by two women.
The women accused several men
who, they asserted, had offered them
$500 to induce Huerta to visit them SO
the plotters could have an opportunity
of assassinating him. The women said
they refused to participate in the con-
spiracy. The men named have been
arrested.
Washington, Nov. Acting Secre-
tary Roosevelt of the navy instructed
Rear Admiral Fletcher to place Gen.
LeIix Diaz, the Mexican refugee, and
his party aboard a New York and Cuba
mail steamer after the ship leaves the
last Mexican port on her sailing.
Galveston, Tex, Nov. 1.-President
Wilson's personal representative in
Mexico, John Lind, and Rear Admiral
Fletcher, commanding the American
fleet in Mexican waters, have underta-
ken negotiations with a steamship
company for the safe passage of Felix
Diaz and his two companions to the
United States. The steamship Ala
bama has been put at their service.
Washington, Nov THAT the Uni
ted States government will be found
acting in Mexico entirely independent
ly Of other nations was the authorita-
tive statement made here. While
there is nothing which could be dig
nified by the term of friction between
the United States and Europe with re-
gard to Mexico, there is not now any
cooperation.
President Wilson is determined to
retain for the United States its tradi-
tionaI leadership and domination in
the political affairs of this hemis-
phere. The United States govern
ment is not consulting with the other
powers regarding Mexico, but is mere
ly keeping them informed.
While hoping that the policy of the
United States will commend itself to
the other governments, the admins
tration has no intention of asking
Cnelr dQVlC6 ABOUT 1t, or submitting us
decision to them for approval.
1t was intimated that some positive
action, as contrasted with a mere
statement of policy, may follow defin-
tie disclosure of Huerta's plan about
the elections. No indication of what
would be the nature of such action
was given in administration circles.
Mexico City, Oct. 30-In the event
that the Huerta-BlanQuet ticket is
shown to have polled majority suf-
f1cient to be declared elected, as
seems probable Tuesday, congress will
declare the Huerta votes void and
Banquet will take the oath as vice
president and assume office as pres
ident, pending the calling of further
elections.
This statement was made by the
Mexican foreign minister
The clause in the constitution pro-
hibiting the president from succeed
ing himself does not apply to the vice
president, Senior Moheno explained,
and Banquet would be eligible for
election.

70 SWAMP TREASURY
STATE TAXES WILL BRING $4,000
GOO IN FEBRUARY.
Money Comes to Banks When Least
Needed-State Treasurer Would
Change Law So Railroads Can
Make Earlier Returns.

Madison.-Now that the state tax
has been levied State Treasurer
Johnson is worried over what he will
do with the money when it comes in
in February. He complains that the
legislature has not heretofore amend
ed the law so that all the moneys
coming in to the state treasury will
not be paid in at the same time, par
ticularly at a time when it is most
convenient for the banks to receive
it.
AS the law now is not only are all
the state taxes due and payable in
February or by the first OF March,
but there are a lot of other taxes
which are made payable at that time
For instance, there is one-half of the
railroad tax which will amount in
February to more than s2,000,O00;
the tax paid by the insurance COM
panies amounting to $85O,000 and
$500, geo Of telephone taxes.
There is approximately 100000
which the treasurer must take care
Of during February. This money will
be placed in the state repositories
Of which there are more than 100,
but the state treasurer is not per
mitted to deposit in any bank more
than so per cent of the amount of
the bond furnished by the bank nor
a sum greater than the capital stock
of the bank.
Treasurer Johnson thinks that the
law requiring the railroads to pay
their taxes in February and August
should be amended so that the pay
ments might be made in June and
December. This would bring the
money in not only at time when
the state might need it, but also at a
time favorable to the banks.

PELLAGRh VICTIM
DIES 1T MENDOZA
JOHN DAVENPORT OF FAIRFIELD
sUccuMBs TO DISEASE IN
STATE ASYLUM.
is SECOND DEATH In YEAR
Several Other Persons in State Are
Afflicted With MaIady, According
to State Health Board Secre-
tary Harper.

BaraboO.-John Davenport Of Fair
field, who died at the state asylum al
Mendoza, is the second person in the
state to die of the dread disease, pei
Iagra, this year. The other died last
spring.
Mr.. Davenport had been suffering
from the disease for several months
and recently went to Chicago to see a
specialist, but, unable to obtain relief
returned to Wisconsin and went to
Mendoza.
This disease is not common in this
section Of the country, though the
secretary of the state board of health
DR.. c. A. Harper, says that perhaps
seven to ten persons in the state are
suffering from the disease. He says
these are confined to insane asylums
as the effects Of the disease cause per
sons to become insane.
DR.. Harper says the disease had its
origin in Italy and that it is supposed
to be spread by eating corn or corn
meal, though nothing definite is
known to this effect He says the
greatest ravages of the disease are
among people who eat great quaint
ties of cornmeal
