Hired Man.

quarrel over little garden patch

brother, was shot through the left

hold of the gun as his brother pull
ed the trigger. Cummins is declar-

Declares He Will Take Aggressive
Steps Within
Week.
EXPECTS PEACE TO COME SOON
Many at Capital skeptical Of an
Early End to the
Conflict.
EXPECTS PEACE TO COME SOON

Mexico City, Mexico, May 5.-As-
surances were given at the national
palace yesterday that before the end
of the week the defensive attitude
thus far maintained by the govern
ment would be abandoned and that
within thirty days anything having
the appearance of a rebellion would
be broken. 1t was admitted that
there would remain the task of run
ming down isolated bands.
President Huerta and the war
minister, General Mondragon, as
we'll as their counselors, seemed
confident that the forces of Venus
tiano Carranza, the rebel governor
of Coahuila, and the rebel forces in
Sonora, would be rendered practical
ly harmless.
Gen. Gustavo Mas, with 700 re-
cruitS, is on his way to MaZatian,
and probably will proceed to Quay
mas. Gen. Teller will succeed Gen.
Trucy Aubert at Monterey, and
promises an active campaign against
Carranza. Gen. Casso Lopez is Of
fcially reported to be approaching
Monclova, the CarranZa headQuar-
tiers.
Many residents of the capital,
however, do not share the belief Of
the government Some regard the
proposed tactics as presaging a long
conflict, with the rebels raiding the
country and federals holding the
towns.
Both the rebels and the federal
government are doing their best to
picture the future in the brightest
colors, but there is no doubt that
neither side is able, from a financial
standpoint, to carry on the cam
paign as outlined. The government
is working hard to obtain a loan
and is assuring the public that it
will soon have it, but in the mean
time the rebels are steadily increas-
ing their scope of operations.
The states of Morelos and Guer-
zero are in the worst condition.
There are risings in Oaxaca and Ia
basco, but there is reason to believe
these are mostly of a local charac-
ter. In Guerrero the government
for the present must be content to
hold the larger towns.
The campaign most resembling
aggressiveness is that being waged
by General Robes, in the state of
Morelos, where the adherents OF
Zapata have been meeting him more
than half way. This campaign is
characterized by barbarities on the
part of the rebels, and strict adher-
ence to the policy of determination
or CONSUMPTION on the part of the
federal commander.

CARPENTERS STRIKE;
WAGE SCALE CAUSE
Iowa City Workmen Ask $3.50 a
Day.

Iowa City, May 5.-All union car
penters in Iowa City are on strike.
They ask a uniform wage scale of
As cents an hour for hours a day,
making a fat wage of $3.50 day.
This the contractors refuse to
concede. They are willing to pay
more than $3.50 a day for expert
ened men, but insist on paying car

instead of a fiat scale.

The following from the Valdez Com moner shows that our own George was still laughing when last heard from:
 George A. Dougher. one of the lead ing spirits" from Seattle on the Vic- toria. was here while the vessel was in port having Q good time with some of the Valdez spirits" George denies being a regular on the excursion steamer for the reason he did not get mixed up with them until they reached Seward. He was trying to arrange It with the steamship company to have his ticket changed to some other ves- se,. for two reasons: Firstly. he did not want to land at home in company with that bunch; secondly. he claimed that the victoria "rolled' so badly that hs kept up the movement of the ship for several hours after landing. As he waved his friends a cordial au re- voir on his way to the dock he stil retained the famous movement of th' old Victoria.

MICHIGAN ALUMNI START
 UNDERGRAD LOAN FUND

Searule. Nov. z5-The Seattle Al rmni association of the University of Michigan has set up a loan fund of $I5O for the use of students i'll the University of Washington; also the Wolverines have given $50 to the Washington crew, a duplicate of the gift they made to the Oarsmen last spring, when the Poughkeepsie trip was in prospect.
 The money for the loan fund and the gift is the profit which resulted from the concert given by the Mich igan Glee club here last winter un- der the auspices of the Seattle AL umni association. When all eXpen- ses are met, the Nichiganders found themselves $2OO in pocket, as an as sociation, and set about devising means of utilizing it to the best ad- vantage.
