NEW HAVEN FIGHT
TAKEN TO COURTS

Washington. April 13.-Joseph w,
Folk. chief counsel Of the Interstate
Commerce commission, expects to be-
gin early next week. in the supreme
court of the District Of Columbia, pro-
ceedings to compel witnesses in tho
New Haven railroad Investigation to
answer questions concerning the .oper-
ations Of the Billiard company.
If 1T Is necessary to take similar
steps to compel the production OF the
books and records of the Billiard COM
pany, another proceedings will be
started. according TO Mr.. Folk, at New
Haven, Conn, as that is the seat of the
concern.
AS to the witnesses. however, the sit
uation is different. They are under
subpoena to appear here and did ac-
tually appear, and their refusal to tes-
tify was made here. 1t Is held, there
fore. that they fall within the juris-
diction of the district court.
In the proceedings to be started, the
Billiard company, the several recalcit-
RAM witnesses presumably connected
with the Billiard company, the New
York. New Haven & Hartford Railroad
company and the latter's subsidiary.
the New England Navigation company,
will be defendants. although the rail-
road and the navigation company have
expressed a desire to comply with the
commissions orders and to cooperate
with it in every way in obtaining the
information it desires.

house for pure food and drug informa-
ton collected by the federal and state
governments has been established in
the department of agriculture. An
nouncement was made today of the
temporary appointment of DR.. J. S.

men
The new work has been taken up In
fulfillment OF a suggestion made last
November by DR.. Alsburg, chief of the

sioners during which 1t was brought
out there was much duplication of work
by the states and the federal govern
ment in making tests and other food

enforcement Of pure food and drug
laws has caused the federal govern
ment much trouble.

WILSON SUPPORTS
DEMANDS OF MAYO

Washington, April 14.-President
Wilson told callers today that a salute
would be fired to the American flag by
Mexican federals at Tampico as an
apology for the recent arrest of Amer
lean marines. The president spoke
with such confidence that his hearers
took 1t to imply that the point would
be insisted on. The president had all
ready approved Rear Admiral Mayo's
demand for the salute as an apology.
Secretary Daniels also has notified
Admiral Mayo that his action is APP
proved. The salute will be fired"
was his positive announcement today.
He added that he did not consider the
element Of time an important one, be-
cause of the difficulties of commu-
nication between Washington and
Tampico.
Secretary Bryan was reticent con-
corning the Tampico incident. He said
he was in close correspondence with
Charge O'Shaughnessy over Huerta's
promised investigation. He declined to
reveal the nature Of any dispatches
between the state department and the
charge and would neither affirm or
deny reports that Gen. Huerta had for
hidden the salute demanded by Admiral
Mayo. In some official circles the sug-
gestion that Huerta would refuse to
permit the salute was received with
surprise. In their opinion the refusal
might compel drastic action on the part
of the United States.

Is 40. Cents a Gallon.

Cincinnati. Ohio. April 13.-Some
gather curious statistics were brought
forth at the convention of the Ameri-
can Chemical society here for the bene-
fit OF motorists.
In his address on Some Economic
Phases of the Use of Gasoline" Prof
Benjamin 7. Brooks, of the bureau of
mines, Washington. said that gasoline
is rapidly approaching the Accent IA
gallon mark. at which point alcohol
would be an active competitor.
He estimated the present production
OF gasoline in America to be $50, 900
barrels of 40 gallons each, and said it
is behind the demand made on it by
motor vehicles, dry cleaners and va
rious industries. To replace this
amount Of gasoline by 96 per cent al
cohol made from corn would require
5O.OOO,OOO bushels. Professor Brooks

The face of the former Minnesota
governor was bronzed by the tropical

about conditions in Mexico and laughed
when a friend approached him in the

Mr.. Lind said his plans were not

COPPER WORKERS
CALL OFF STRIKE

Hancock. Mich. April 14.-The cop
per mine workers who have beer on
strike since July % last, voted yester-
day to call off the strike. according to
an announcement made today by
Charles e. Hieteia, district secretary
of the Western Federation of Miners.
The figures will not be given out until
after a meeting of the district board
this afternoon.
1t is unofficially reported that the
majority in favor of calling off the
strike was 1,012. The unofficial vote
from four of the five locals in the dis
trict resulted as follows:
Ahmeek, 600 for returning to work:
Ii against.
Calumet, 291 for; 3S2 against.
Hancock, 491 for; Is against.
South Range. 4S5 for; So against.
Waive Recognition.
Recognition of the union, denied by
the mining companies, is waived by
the strikers in voting to return to work.
They claim that practically all of their
other demands have been complied with
since the strike began. These demands
include better working conditions. an
eight-hour day and a minimum daily
wage of SO.
From the outset the operators nave
declared that they would never recog
nize the Western Federation of Miners,
although they have maintained that
they don't question the right of thsfr
employees to organize.
Several thousand men have been i'm
ported to fill the strikers places and the
companies will be hard pressed to find
work for the returning strikers.
When the strike began The union
claimed that approximately 1900 man
were out. Since that time many of
these have returned to work and others
! have moved away rom the copper dis
trict. The latest estimate of the mum
Der on strike made by Secretary Hietela
| placed the figure at about 5000. The
mining companies estimates were much
| smaller. The strike has been attended
by considerable strife and there was
a ordered out in the early days Of
the struggle to assist the civil author
tiles in preserving order. There has
| been no disorder Of any consequence
for several months.
Secretary Hietela said the strike
| probably would he declared off official
iy at the meeting of the district union
in Hancock this afternoon.
The official referendum vote will be
| reported by delegates from the five To-
calls. Hietela said the strike had cost
the union more than 81, 900. 600.
Strikers who cannot get work n
| the federation it was announced. Those
Who want to go elsewhere will be pro-
vided with funds. The district union
| has a small amount of money on hand
| and an additional sum is expected from
the federation headquarters in Denver.
Mining company officials said today
that no strikers would be taken back
until they had renowned their mem
bership in the western federation.

E. (Pussyfoot) Johnson, special agent
for the Indian department, who came
into Minnesota in 1909 and closed
more than 400 saloons in the northern
counties on the ground that the treaty
OF 1856 forbade the sale of liquor in

ties of Clay, Becker, Hubbard, Cass.

Of Polk, Clearwater, Grow, Wing, Wa

stopped the shipment Of liquor into
that district. =
Appeals were made to the Indian de-
partment, but it upheld Johnson and
he with corps of men went from
town to town, ordering the saloons to
close.

president and urged him to modify the

to this, and an order was issued modi-
Tying the rule made, but less than a

reopened. Most of the towns took ad.
vantage of the situation to reduce the
