 President Mover of the Western Federation of Miners received a mes sage from Gov. Ferris this afternoon, stating he was at his command for rendering all possible assistance to those stricken by the disaster.
 Local headquarters of the Western Federation of Miners today anxlously awaited a reply to telegrams sent last night by President Mover to President Wilson.
 President Mover decried attempts which he said had been made locally to interpret his statements on the catastrope as efforts to make capital for his organization out of the calam Hy. He stated emphatically that he had merely offered testimony of eye witnesses for what that testimony was worth. He had been told, he said, that the miscreant who started the panic by calling fire" wore insignia of the Citizens Alliance, and would be produced as witnesses at the cor oner's inquest.
 Offers of assistance from union la Dor sources came in rapid succession this morning. William Green, secre- tary of the United Mine Workers al Indianapolis, telegraphed S2,000 would be sent to the union relief fund. A message from Butte, Mont, said that federation members in that city could be called upon for any amount up toI $20,O00. President Mover said that he had with difficulty kept in bounds the parents and other relatives of vic tins Of the panic. The report thai an enemy of the union had started the panic spread rapidly among the strikers and there were many threats of reprisals,
 He pointed out that the absence of any untoward act was an example of the restraint which, he said, had char acterized the action of strikers from the beginning of the trouble, five months ago.

victories already have placed him in the forefront of the constitutionalist movement. will press his campaign southward with a view to carrying the warfare into the federal district to compete with Gen. Huerta for the mastery of the Mexican capital.
 Official reports received today were meager. Rear Admiral c. Fletcher, commanding the American squadron in Mexican gulf waters, reported his departure on the flagship Rhode Is- land from Tampico for Vera Cruz. As his recent laconic despatches from Tampico have told repeatedly of the restoration of order in that lately dis turbed section, it is believed he has gone to Vera Cruz to assign to their proper stations the battleships just arrived there to relieve the vessels about to return to home waters. As Admiral Fletcher is directing the bat tleship maneuvers in his own discre- tion, officials thought they might re- turn without notice to Tampico, where further hostilities may ensue, as re suit of rebel determination to gain control of port of entry on the gulf coast.
 While reports of Francisco de la Barras cordial reception at the Japa- nese court were received with interest here, officials were inclined to be- lieve that Emperor Yoshihito merely was according Gen. Huertas special | ambassador such courtesy as is GUS tomary in the return of international visits.

LET'S HAVE IT!
Following WiscOnsin's Example,

The Wisconsin legislature has
passed a bill requiring a certif-
cate of health by reputable ply
stefan for .both parties prelimi-
nary to the granting of a mar
riage license. l bill has also
been passed by the Wisconsin
legislature providing for the ster-
ilization of the feeble-minded,
epileptic and criminally insane in
State and county institutions.
We recall the attention of the
people of Kentucky, particularly
of the candidates for the legisla-
ture to these laws enacted by
Wisconsin.
There is no more progressive
nor more wisely governed State
in the Union than Wisconsin; it
has been aptly called the Labor
atory of American politics. and
experiments made in that labora-
tory have won the approval they
deserve by the experience of
that State and of the other states
that have followed its example.
The laws which have just been
passed are, however, not an ex-
pertinent, nor is Wisconsin the
pioneer in the enactment of such
laws. Other states have enac-
ted and enforced laws requiring
a certificate of health as a pre-
requisite to a certificate permit
ting marriage, and providing for
the sterilization Of those capable
only of procreating insane, weak
minded or criminal children.
1t would be we'll for Kentucky
to follow the example of such
states, and we hope candidates
for the legislature will inform
themselves on the need of such
laws, as they can do by even a
cursory study of the publications
of the Eugenics Laboratory,
Garden City, L. l., and Professor
Davenport's book, "Eugenics in
Relation to Heredity;;" will
familiarize themselves with the
laws of the states that have al
ready acted upon the recognized
advisability of preventing the
marriage of those unfit to marry
and will enact such legislation at
the session of 1914.-Lexington
