AGAIN FORBIDDEN
ls Importation of Arms Into Mexico
From United States.

ls Importation of Arms Into Mexico
From United States.
Washington, June 4-Importation
of arms into Mexico from the United
States has been again forbidden. Sec
retary Bryan admitted the existence
of the order. He explained that the
order is not in the nature of formal
embargo proclamation by the presi-
dent, but is purely state depart
ment order enforcement of which
will be in the hands of the depart
ment Of commerce and the treasury
jointly.
The Ward liner Antilla, however,
was given clearance papers and al
lowed to depart from New York for
Tampico with a cargo of 100000
rounds of ammunition and an aero
plane consigned to the Constitution
alists. In an attempt to explain this
fact Secretary Bryan said that he
supposed the order had been late in
arriving at New York, as it had gone
to southern ports Of the United
States first He admitted that there
was as yet no change in the admin
istration's attitude on Tampico re-
naming an open port. No obstruc-
tion in landing this shipment will be
encountered there, he declared. The
state department order will prevent,
however, the arms and ammunition
now at Galveston and other cargoes
en- route there from New York from
being shipped to the rebels.

LITTLE ONE HAS NARROW
ESCAPE FROM SERI-
Gus INJURY

The little two year old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Joseph Now, jr., of Hopewell town
ship, narrowly escaped death beneath
the wheels of an automobile last Tues
day afternoon. The tot was playing on
the cement driveway along the reservoir
while the parents we're enjoying a fish
ing expedition and attempted to cross
the road just in front of an automobile
driven by Lee Shelley of St. Marys. The
child was struck on the head by one of
lamps and knocned beneath the car, but
luckily in such way that the wheels did
not pass over it. The Sheely car was
running slow and this fact only saved
the child from serious if not fatal injury
The child was picked up by Rev. Gott-
schall, who was riding in the Sheely car
and hurried to a physician in this city
where upon examination it was found
that the only injury sustained was cut
on the forehead.

INJUNCTION SOUGHT
To Restrain Cleveland School Board
Carrying Out It's Decree.

Cleveland, O., June 2.-An injunc,
tion suit against the school board and
Superintendent Fredericks was filed in
common pleas court to restrain Ere
ericks and board members from car
rying out a school board resolution
which, in effect, bars teachers from
joining the proposed teachers union.
A temporary injunction and later a
permanent injunction was asked for.
The suit, backed by the Cleveland
Federation of Labor, is brought in the
name of John Owens, taxpayer, and
is set for hearing Thursday. After
setting up grievances Of grade teach
ers, the petition relates that the
boards efforts to bar the teachers
union is contrary to public policy and
violation of the state and federal
constitutions, in interfering with per-
sonal freedom and rights.

FIVE TRAINMEN.
INSTANTLY KILLED
Locomotive Jumps the Track
and Turns Over.

Connellsville, Pa, June 1. - Five
trainmen were killed and two perhaps
fatally injured when a passenger 10,
comotive on the Connellsville division
of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad was
derailed at Cooks Mills, east of here.
The locomotive was running light.
An extra freight crew had boarded
the engine to ride down the line in
order to relieve a crew whose work
ing time had expired. In some un-
known manner the engine jumped
from the mails and the men were
scaided.
The engine turned completely over.
The dead: H. v. Hughes, engineer,
Pittsburg; H. S. Lloyd, hagman, Con.
nelIsville; Guy W. Dean, brakeman,
Cumberland; Harry Riser, engineer,

.SIOESTEP BLAME
FOR DISASTER
Commanders Each Place Re-
SpOnsIbIIIty Upon the Other.
BITTER LEGAL BATTLE AHEAD

Captain Kendall Of the Empress Of
Ireland Maintains His Vessel Was
Motionless, While the Captain Of
the Norwegian Collier Contends the
Empress Was Moving at Good
speed-Testlmony Of Rivals.
Montreal, June 2. - A great legal
battle Is likely to spring from the in
vestigation Of the ST. Lawrence dis
aster Already marine interests, nav
igators and officials are at Issue;
one side charging that Captain H. G.
Kendall Of the Empress was 10
blame, the other accusing Captain
Thomas Anderson OF the Storstad.
Each commander almost unquali-
fiedly places the responsibility upon
the shoulders Of the other, Captain
Kendall maintaining that his ship was
perfectly motionless and that the
Storstad blundered into the Empress
despite repeated warnings. Captain
Kendall is supported in his story by
his officers and to a large extent by
the survivors. Captain Anderson de-
clares that the Empress was moving
at "a good speed" and that her rapid
headway prevented the Storstad from
plugging the hole. Captain Anderson
went 30 far as to tell Pilot Nault, who
brought the Storstad here from Que
bec,. that Captain Kendall had lied in
his version of the collision. Ander-
sons eyes were red from weeping
and it was evident that he had been
suffering keenly when he talked to
the newspaper men. He seemed to
be indignant over an official statement
generating Captain Kendall.
Captain Kendall is sailor and
don't want to say anything about
him." said the Storstad's comman-
der. "The facts are these: When
Captain Kendall shouted through the
megaphone as the ships were drawing
near each other l shouted back but
l did not have a megaphone. I shout
ed as loud as | could. Our man on
the lookout heard me call. And did
not go full ahead. I kept my hand on
the push button to the engine room
and the very moment we touched the
other ship l rang for full speed ahead.
But the Empress was going at good
speed and it was impossible for me
to keep our boat in the hole. She
was going fast"
There will be- third member to
represent the British government.
This member will'be a Judge. The
inquiry will follow the lines of the
Titanic investigation.
It is evident that the Canadian Pa
cfc railroad, owner of the Empress,
has determined to make a fight for
Kendall's exoneration. It is equally
evident that the Dominion Coal COM
pany, owner of the collier Storstad,
will stand behind Captain Anderson
and will resist any effort to fasten
the blame upon him.
The government investigation OF
the disaster will begin Tuesday,
June 8.

From the humble home of the late
Joseph Gender, at Logan and Walnut
streets, the Celina Catholic Church has
grown in the fifty years of its existence
to its present exalted position, with one
of the most imposing and stately church
edihces in Northwestern Ohio.
In 1864, when the holy sacrifice of
mass was offered up for the time in this
city at the old Gender home, abont twen-
ty families constituted the congregation.
To-day about two hundred and fifty fam
lilies make up the congregation.
The work of organizing the first parish
in this city was entrusted to Rev. Joseph
Dwenger, c. PIP. S., then pastor at St.
Marys, under the direction of Archbish-
op Purcell, of Cincinnati The first
meeting was held in the courthouse,
then located on the site of the present
city hall. The result of the meeting

PATTERS OFFER VICTIMS

The following Republicans want to
mix it up with the Democrats at the
election for county offices this fall, and
have filed their petitions with Clerk Gil

any opposition in the August primary

no one has nerve enough to smash it.

WORD AWAITED
FROM CARRANzA
Fate Of Mediation Hangs On the
Rebel Heads Reply.
PROCEEDINGS At STANDSTILL

Known That Mediators In Their Mes
sage to constitutlonalists Made
Complete Suspension Of Hostllities
In Mexico a Condition Essential to
Admission Of carranza Delegates to
to the Conference at Niagara Falls.
Niagara Falls. Ont. June 4. - De
spite the mild denial given out by the
mediators. there is no doubt that the
mediation proceedings are at an abso-
Lutte standstill. This deadlock will
not be broken before the question of
Carranza's participation in the con-
ference here Is definitely settled.
The mediators' reply to the mes
sage brought here by Juan Arquido is
probably now in the hands of Rafael
Subaran Capmany, the Constitution
alist agent at Washington. From the
capital the message was transmitted
by telegraph to General Carranza and
not before 1t has arrived there will
the mediators consent to reveal its
contents.
Meanwhile it was stated on the
very best authority here that the
story that the mediators' reply did
not contain any invitation to Carranza
to participate in the proceedings is
without foundation.
The mediators in their reply de-
clared, according to those who are
close to the three South American
diplomats, that they will be willing to
accept representatives of the rebel
chieftain under certain conditions.
These conditions, it is said, include
a formal demand for a complete sus-
pension of hostilities during the prog.
ress Of the negotiations. The medi-
ators have yielded to the American
delegates to the extent at least Of
withdrawing from their original stand
that Carranza, having once rejected
their invitation, would under no cir
cumstances be admitted. The A. B.
C. diplomats, however, have not
yielded an inch either to the state de-
partment or to General Carranza in
the matter of putting a temporary
stop to the revolution which is devas-
tating Mexico. 1t was declared here
again by those who are best in posi-
ton to know the attitude of the me-
diators that an armistice has been
made a condition essential to the ad-
mission of Carranza's delegates at
the conference.
On the reply which. Carranza will
give to this message and the attitude
which the Wilson administration will
adopt, now that the Mexican dele
gates have also made clear their
stand, hangs the fate of the media
ton. No one here, however, believes
that the conference is about to be
brought to a sudden close as result
Of the present deadlock.
Further light was thrown on the
statement given out by Seniors Ra-
besa, Rodriguez and Elagar Tuesday.
20 close observers of developments
It appears evident that General HUI
erta is eager 20 make every conces-
sion which ths mediators may choose
to demand, provided no attempt be
made to eliminate him in favor of one
Of the other warning chieftains. 1t is
generally admitted here that the
Mexican delegates by outlining their
stand in so definite manner had
scored decided advantage. The i'm
preston created by their announce
ment is decidedly favorable.
