HOUSE WOULD MODIFY
RECLAMATION POLICY

Washington, July 30.-An amend
ment revolutionizing the conduct of
the government reclamation service
was written into the irrigation bill
in the house today by vote of 17S
to 40. Proposed by Majority Leader
Underwood, it provides that all eS-
penditures for irrigation work must
be by annual appropriations by con-
gress from the reclamation fund, now
entirely at the discretion OF the In
terror department. Representatives
from the public land states opposed
the amendment. declaring it would
lead to pork barrel tactics.
The bill, which extends from III
to 20 years the time in which set
tiers may repair the government for
irrigation improvements on their
lands, then was passed without a roll
call.

Union Miners Start
Flight at Funeral,
Riot at Very
Door Of Church

To the unionists nothing is sacred
or solemn-n0t even death.
Union coal miners today broke up
a funeral ceremony at Starkville by
attacking non-union miners who
were friends of the deceased. Again
In front OF the Holy Trinity Church,
at the very doors OF the House of the
Master, union miners continued their
disorderly demonstrations and curs-
ing some OF the mourners followed
them into the church and desecrated
the holy place with their vile Ian
guage.
Crowding. pushing and performing
like a bunch of cattle the unionists
rocked the very Madonna images on
their pedestals, turned loose their
ribald laughter In the face of the
priests and made mockery of the
solemn rite that man has called a
funeral.
1t was the funera1 of union min
er's wife. conducted by Hall and Nc
Mahon, and among the friends of the
deceased were working miners. They
wanted to show honor to the dead
and gathered at Starkville to witness
the last sad rites. But the roughneck
unionists would not stand for work
ing men showing honor to the dead
and straightway fight was precipi-
tated by the union men. AS the cor
tege passed into the church the
roughnecks started trouble again
and 1t looked for while as though
Ia melee would result.
Unionists have several times tried
to break up funerals of non-union
miners and once or twice undertake

the federal troops.

AUSTRIAN Invaders CLASH WITH SERBS IN BATTLE
Texan with villa
In Trinidad on Way
TO Yellowstone Park

Stanley Morton, OF Brownsville,
Texas, who for three months drove
the official ammunition wagon for
General villa Of the Mexican rebel
forces. passed through the city this
morning In his Franklin air-cooled
machine on his way to Yellowstone
Park on a vacation trip after his
months of strenuous service in Mexi-
CO.
Mortons machine was in perfect
shape when he arrived in Trinidad
this morning and was none the
worse for the trip except that he
has several bullet holes in his car
which were inflicted by the Federals
under Victoriano Huerta in Mexico.
In February Morton was hired by
the rebels to carry ammunition
across the border in his car. During
his frequent trips he was fired upon
from ambush innumerable times by
the Federals and as result has no
less than a half dozen bullet holes
in his car. But l always managed
to escape" said Morton with a
smile. "The Federals are poor shots,
and out of a score of shots fired at
no greater distance than so feet they
rarely even hit the car"
Morton is taking his time In trav-
cling and intends to tour Colorado
and get to Yellowstone Park before
the month is over. From there he
will go to Kansas City and back to
Mexico about November /.

today in giving Russia time limit
of "a hours in which to declare her

more. danger point to the critical
European situation-already SHARPLY
acute.
The nervous tension in all conn
tries of the old world had almost
reached its utmost limits when this
fresh peril cropped up.

that orders had been sent to all the
officers and men of the German re-

London, July 3O.-While Austrian
invaders and Servian troops were
fighting the opening stages of their
war on Servian territory today, Eu-

gagged in what they regarded as the
almost hopeless task of trying to
avert general clash OF the millions
composing the armies of the great
European powers.
Sir Edward Grey, central figure
in the controversy, owing to his
strong efforts. to keep the powers of
Nfhe triple alliance and the triple en-
.tentc from flying at each others
throats. was not able to give any
cheering news when he spoke about
the crisis to the members of the
house of commons.
The British foreign secretary said:
II regret that l cannot say the sit
uation is less grave than it was yes
terday The outstanding facts are
much the same. Austria-Hungary
has begun her war against Servia
and Russia has ordered a partial mo-
bilization of her troops. This has
not hitherto led to corresponding
steps being taken by the other pow
ers, so far as our information goes.

object of preserving the European
peace and for this rrr,ose We are

Adopting a firm stand for law and
order and urging all good citizens
regardless Of personal political views
to join together in q movement to
oppose the enemies Of good govern
ment, the Republicans Of las Animas
county, at the assembly today recog-
nized q platform that is a rebuke to
the lawless methods Of the United
Mine Workers of America. The reso-
lutions set forth that the Democratic
party had proved itself unable to
cope with the situation in Colorado.
and that permanent restoration of
peace depends upon the success Of
the Republican party. in state and
county.
The assembly was neld to elect So
delegates to the state and congress-
ional assemblies on August and f.
and to designate candidates for the
nomination to all county offices.
There were 164 delegates present in
person or by proxy out of IA total
list of 1872. J. NJ. Madrid was elect
ed chairman after County Chairman
ID. l.. Taylor had called the assembly
to order.
The resolutions offered clearly de-
fined the attitude of the Republican
party as regards the great issue con-
fronting the people OF Colorado.
They proposed to enthrone law and
order, to stamp out insurrection, to
uphold the constitution and enforce
the laws on the statute books.
The baIloting for candidates was
reached this afternoon. There will
be contest for several nominations
including superintendent OF schools
and sheriff. For head of the county
schools arc Elmore Floyd and Earl
G. Morand and a lively fight will be
waged and both may get on tile pri-
mary ballot For sheriff there are
Zeke Martin and j. r. Kane and
probably one or two dark horses. IL
is understood that there will be no
opposition to DR.. J. d. Harper for
Assessor, G. f. Harlan for commits
sioner and w. l.. wills for treasurer.
II, A. Schmidt is being put forth as
a candidate for representative and
w. W. Boyle will probably seek to
succeed himself.
J. S. Abeyta was the unanimous
choice. Of the party for the nomina'
tion for county clerk. His name was
put before the assembly by Senator
Barela, who suggested that all can
didates be selected by unanimous
vote, thus doing away with all con
tests. This was considered only {
trick of the willy senator to remove
all opposition to the slate, but it /!
known that there will be contests
and more than one person running
for primary preferment.
The assembly today was marked
by the appearance of the same olt
office holders and party war horses
the old familiar faces that have beer
photographed on the floor year il
and year out. There was the SAM
surface harmony as usually prevails
the same outward manifestations o
the get-together spirit and the SAM
grabbing of certain dissatisfied poll
ticians in the wings. The business
of the assembly was pushed in ordc
= to conclude before the supper hour.

were made today by the United

to brng about an immediate ar
mistice in Mexico. This action fol-
lowed an appeal from Provisional
President Carbajal, that further
fighting not only was unnecessary.
but inhumane in view of the certain
success OF the peace negotiations.

of President Wilson with carranza,

provisional President Carbajal is
fully resolved to carry out negotia-
tions on the general basis already

rive in SaltilIo tomorrow and begin
conferences Immediately with Cen
eral Carranza.
''lt is the unalterable purpose of
Mr.. Carbajal to turn over the govern
ment in a peaceful and dignitied
way. Mr.. Carbajal has urged to
make every effort to obtain an i'm
mediate armistice, and If not possible
the suspension of all hostilities with
out loss of time, even though this be
not formally declared. but merely
established, as an actual fact since
in view OF the certain success OF the
negotiations about to begin any fur
ther bloodshed not only would be un-
necessary but quite inhumane.
