Coal Mine Trouble
(By United Press Association

tBy United Press Associations)
Eenver, Nov. 8-Effort is being
made to bring additional pressure on
owners Of Colorado's strike-bound
coal mines and union officials, order
ing all not to cut off the entire coal
supply of the state. The union plan
is to prevent, through the unions, the
mining of coal in other states for
Colorado consumption. Officials de-
clare that while it is violation of law
to stop coal in transit, it is not vio-
lation to prevent its being mined. Ne
gotiations are already opened with
the miners in other states, by Colorado
unionists, demanding that they strike
if the company mined coal to be sent
here. The demand will first be made
on the owners of other states, then if
they fail, pressure will be brought to
bear through the miners themselves.

ThaM EXtradited

Concord, N. H, Nov. 8--Governor
Felker has signed papers extraditing
Thaw to New York at the request of
Governor Glynn of New York. The
order was the result Of conspiracy in
connection with Thaw's escape from
Matteawan asylum. 1t is said the de-
cision does not mean that Thaw must
return to Matteawan Immediately, but
he may fight the conspiracy charge,
made by the New York grand jury,
for years.
Governor Fleker's action was gener-
ally expected 1t followed along con-
ventional lines, after he had shifted
the case to the shoulders of Federal
Judge Aldrich.
Jerome was not present when the
extradition papers were signed. 1t was
a foregone conclusion, however, that
Thaw could not Immediately be taken
to New York on account of habeas
corpus obtained for him, which is now
pending in the federal circuit court

1t may be several years before de-
cision is reached, as both sides are
prepared to carry it to the supreme
court if necessary.
Thaw's attorneys this afternoon
willannounce to Judge Aldrich their
desire to take up the habeas corpus
proceedings, but it is doubtful if this
hearing will be held within five weeks.
When it comes up several days will be
required for presentation Of evidence
and argument of counsel. The decis-
ion them will be followed by appeal.
Thaw and his mother received the
verdict calmly. Both said it was in
accordance with their expectations.
Mrs. Thaw said "Even so, I am dis
appointed that the executive, who is
empowered to rebuke crookedness
such as in shown in the papers pre-
pared by the hired agent and presented
in the name of the state of New York
failed thereby in allowing us to GO
home for Thanksgiving"
Governor Felker this afternoon or
dered Sheriff Drew to keep Thaw in
custody

Never Before Did the City

And Streets Show Effect

The result Of the great inpourtnG sf
people is that the labor supply 10 sss4
ting beyond the demand, and na0H
people are not finding it as easy -
get work as they might hope fcr.
The fact is that In many cities ~
the coast just now there are grss*
many idle people, and it is highly prss-
able that this condition viii pet Divert
To the valley great number of pss-
pie without means than can be flhsu
care Of to their good advantage.
This condition, however, is having
a good effect in that it tends TO pro-.
mote all kinds Of development In ~
valley, there being no dearth OF lss-
Dor for the work to be done, and tss
activity that prevails at every trr
shows that the people are taking -.

Holton Power Company is
Having Hard Battle While
Reconstruction Work is on

The Holton Power Company is
making desperate fight these days
against great obstacles to meet the de-
mands for light and power, and has
all the discouraging obstacles to en-
counter that the individual sometimes
finds in his way when things get to
going wrong.
1t will be recalled that a little over
year ago the company completed a
second auxiliary plant in this city at
a cost Of a quarter of million dol
lars, and when that plant was planned
it was believed that it would for some
time meet all emergency demands upon
it, but so great has been the growth of
demand for power that this big plant
cannot do all that is asked of it when
the water plant is out of commission.
A few weeks since the work of build
ing new head in the Encitas canal,
which feeds the water power plant at
Holtville, was begun, and since then
the company has moot ben able to gen.
crate more than 100 horse power by
water power, and the new auxiliary
plant has been run at its utmost ca
pafity, in fact carrying an overload,
in an effort to meet the demands.
Owing to the heavy burden placed
upon it, the new auxiliary plant yes
terday burned out one of it's main
bearings, necessitating closing down
completely for several hours during
the day and most of the night.
The old auxiliary plant has not
been in commission for some time,

Never before in the history Of Ell
Centro was so great growth manifest
ed as just now, and at every turn
about town one sees the effect of it.
At the postoffice there is often to be
seen line Of people reaching out onto
tn sidewalk. On the streets there is
crush of people, teams and automo-
biles that is suggestive Of the crowded
quarters of large cities, while at all
the restaurants and lodging houses
ther are to be seen throngs Of people.
Along with the people who have
come here from all parts Of the coun-
try seeking homes, there are hundreds
of laboring people, who have heard of
the prosperity in the valley, and find
ing work scarce elsewhere, have come
here.

Labor Law Violated

Sacramento, Nov. 8-The state az

Great Game is on
For Universities
(By United Press Associations,

(By United Press ASSocAationS1
Stanford University, Nov. 8-Stan-
ford and California met on Stanford
field today in the Gath annual foot
ball match since athletic relations be-
tween the two great Pacific coast uni
versities were established, and the
eighth since Rugby replaced the
American game.
OF previous contests, Stanford had
won 10, California 8, with 4 tied. Each
college boasted three Rugby victories,
with one drawn game.
Not for five years has Stanford
seen her undergraduates celebrate
football over the state university men,
for with the exception of last years
historic tie, California had an unbrok-
en- row of three victories.
Today's team had showed about
equal strength in the earlier games of
the season. AS the result of these,
Rugby experts seemed generally
agreed that all California possessed
the better balance, scrappier forward
division, while Stanford's back field
was the equal, if not the superior, to
any developed in either university in
the last five years.
Beginning early yesterday and con-
tinuing until the hour Of the game, a
succession of special trains and
thousands of automobiles brought
thousands of students, alumni, foot
ball fans and members of the general
public into Palo Alto. Two weeks be-
fors the game every accommodation
had ben sold. The few seats that had
reached the hands of scalpers We're Of
fered at almost prohibitive prices.
Stanford sent six veterans of pre-
vious "Big Games" into the fray.
California had built her team around
eight.
Among the wearers of the Cardinal
were three first yGaf students, Car
roll, Austin and Redmund. Califor-
MAS last line of defense was entrust-
ed to freshman, Skinner, Of Oakland,
having on the fullback berth under
strong competition.
Stanford was trifle heavier, both
in the pack and the back field, then
the Bears. The difference, however,
was slight.

Peace in indianapolis

(By United Press Associations)
Indianapolis, Ind, Nov. 8-Street
cars are running today for the first
time this week. The strikers have re-
turned to work and the troops have
gone home. The company agreed last
night to arbitrate through the state
public service board, each side to abide
by the result of the decision for three
years. The union leaders claim to
have won what they demanded. The
car company points to the fact that
union recognition is not accorded. The
strike lasted a week, four persons
were killed, a hundred wounded and
a thousand arrested. There were
riots daily, business was prostrated
and much property destroyed.

PRESIDENT WILSON IS
SOON TO ACT DECISIyELY

Los Angeles Tribune: When Presi-
dent Wilson recently delivered his not
able address at Mobile he declared
that never again would the United
States seek to acquire additional ter
ritory through conquest. That dec
laration was pertinent to the subject
matter of his speech, which dealt with
the new national ideals and the loftier
consciousness of its mission to which
the republic has risen. Nevertheless
it must be obvious that the president
was addressing larger audience than
that composed of his fellow-country-
men alone. It is quite evident that he
was delivering that message to the
atin-American republics of South
America, always jealous of any in
reference by Uncle Sam in the turbu-
lent affairs of any of these revolution
ary republics.
No other Interpretation is to be
placed upon the presidents speech
than that he was disclaiming in ad-
vance any purpose to profit should
conditions compel intervention in Mex
leo. What he said was equivalent to
the making of covenant with civil
lization that no mean spirit of con-
quest should animate the decision of
the United States. 1t was as if he told
the entire world: "1f we intervene in
Mexico, we shall intervene only as we
did in Cuba-to restore order and
peace and set up a stable govern
ment."
AS is we'll known to the readers of
the Tribune, this newspaper has stood
firmly in support of non-intervention.
1t believed, and it still believes, that
policy should govern the conduct of
this nation. 1t were an affection,
however, to deny the multiplying evil
dences of a growing purpose on the
part of the administration to resort to
sterner measures than heretofore it
has thought fit to employ. 1t is mani
fest that preparations are making for
decisive action which may irrevocably
commit this nation to an undesired and
undesirable guardianship of the MeXi-
can republic. 1t seems to be certain
the administration is preparing for
radical change in the policy it hereto
fore has employed in dealing with
Huerta, and that it will enter upon the
execution of that policy within very
short time.
In the absence of specific knowledge
of the facts that seem to be influenc-
ing the president to the pursuit of this
new course, The Tribune does not as
sumo to impeach the sufficiency of his
reasons. We shall await in patience
that disclosure of facts which the
president, with his accustomed frank
ness, surely will make at very early
date and defer until that time the eX-
preston of judgment on the wisdom
and propriety of the new policy which
he is resolutely preparing to embark.

Chicago Tribune Tells of Romance
The Chicago Tribune of November
8, contained the following account of
the marriage of Miss Harriet Swan
son to Mrs. c. V. Shields of Laporte,
Indiana:
"A romance of seven years in which
the participants had time twice to for
get each other only to be reunited by
chance, eliminates tomorrow in the
marriage at the residence of c. A.
Frain of 5487 Kenwood avenue, of
Miss Harriet Swanson of Ell Centre,
Cal, to C. " Shields, an attorney of
Laparte, Ind.
"Mr. Shields met Miss Swanson in
Los Angeles seven years ago. He
went to Yuma soon after to open
some mines in the district, lcging her
acquaintance, as he supposed, forever.
when a few years later, he enter
ed Valparaiso to study law, he met
there Miss Swanson, learning kinder
garten teaching. They renewed ac-
quaintance, which became friendship
during this second period. But Mr..
Shields again found it necessary to go
he set out across the desert one day
to Yuma and his mines prospered, and
to find more. A long journey brought
him to Ell Centro. There again he
met Miss Swanson. They will live
in Laparte."
