FEDERAL LOSSES ARE HEAVY

FL Paso, Tex, June 17.-NeWs of
Constitutionalist reverses at Zacate-

Mexico City. Reports from Torreon
failed to tell of General Villas depart
ure to help Natera, although it was
said here that Villas men were NOV

condition of the railroad would per-
nit.
In an effort to take the city, Gener-
al Panfilo Natera's troops attacked
the Federal entertainments on Ell Grill
10 and Veta Grande mountains and
were repulsed with heavy losses.
Four attacks were made and each
time the Constitutionalists had to re-
treat owing to heavy and well di-
rected machine gun fire. No informa-
ton on the number Of dead and
wounded on the Constituencies side
were given out, but it is understood
that the losses were unusually heavy.

GETS MOOSE CONVENTION
National Meeting of Big FraternaI Or.

July 27 to Aug. 1.

waukee.-Milwaukee gets the
1914 national Moose convention. Word
was received here by National Organ
izer Arthur Brookwell from the SUI
preme council that it had voted the
gathering to this city over Chicago
The announcement ends a long sus-
pense during which it was believed
for some time that the gathering was
going to Chicago. The Milwaukee
lodge, Milwaukee No. 40 and Cream
City No. 1876, kept up the fight and
won over the Chicago organizations to
the support Of this city.
The meeting, which will be held the
week of July 27 to Aug 1, inclusive.
will bring at least 10000 persons to
Milwaukee from all parts Of the coun-
try, Owing to the proximity to Chi
cago and Mooseheart, the national
Moose home, it is believed the Mil
waukee meeting may even reach S.
600, by far the largest attendance in
the history of the organization.

Tailor's Desperate Endeavor to Make

Registrar O'Loughlin of Brooklyn
will think twice before he undertakes
to address another convention of
tailors. His own tailor led him into it.
OLoughlin put on his openwork
clothes and sat on the platform. Tail
ors, cutters, buyers, city statesmen,
bushelmen, models, bosses, other
items Of the tailoring industry buzzed
loudly on the floor. Now and then
some man would enter and be greeted
with applause.
That" said OLoughlin's tailor and
guide. lis Max Schleiner, he is the buy
er for Clipperstein & Menx."
Hours OLoughlin sat there At last
he was introduced as the next speak
er. No one paid the least attention to
him, Conversation rose toward the
heights of emotion. After three false
starts O'Loughlin sat down. He was
angry enough for arson. His tailor
saw the black rage on his brow.

lowed, whacking at the table with

The Middle Course.

Senator Root at a reception was
discussing the Mexican situation
Steer a middle course" he said to
an extremist. These extreme ideas
are always wrong.
Thus at tea, one young girl asked
another:
And where are you going this sum-
mer, dear?'
From the way mother talks was
the reply, you'd think we were going
to Newport. From the way father
talks you'd think we were going to
starve. But 1 suppose we'll steer a
middle course, as usual, and put in a

SElDEL FOR SENATOR
STATE TICKET NOMINATED BY
SOCIAL DEMOCRATS.
Oscar Amerinser, Milwaukee, Picked
to Make Race for Governor-QualIfy
Church Tax Resolution.

Milwaukee.-Oscar Ameringer and
Emil Seidel, Milwaukee, were nomi-
mated for governor and United States
senator, respectively, by the state So
cial Democratic convention.
On the ticket with them are:
Lieutenant Governor-R. c. MEGA
leb, La Crosse.
Secretary of State--F. w. Rehfeld,
Milwaukee.
Attorney General-Lynn D. Joseph,
Green Bay.
State Treasurer-E. D. Deuss, She
boygan.
Two important stands were taken:
An adoption of plank in the state
platform providing for the taxation Of
all property except that used directly
for educational charitable or church
purposes.
The adoption of resolution provid-
ing for a state referendum prohibiting
any member of the party from voting
for candidates on other tickets in local
or general elections, whether the So
cial-Democratic party has a candidate
for the position in the field or not
No question was ever more bitterly
fought by Socialist convention than
the proposition to tax church proper
ty. The original resolution provided
for the taxation of all property in
Guiding state lands, church, education
al and charitable institution holdings.
The resolution got through without
being noticed and the convention vot-
ed then to add the following clause:
Provided, however, that we favor the
exemption Of all property used for
worship, for school or charitable pur-
poses, but not the exemption of prop
erty held by religious associations for
speculation"

COURT RULE HITS SUPERIOR
Head of the Lakes Has Territory
Similar to That Affected by Liquor
Decision in Minnesota.

Superior.-That the decision of the
United States Supreme court uphold
ing the treaty of 1855 under which sa-
looms may be eliminated from a large
portion Of Minnesota means the carry
ing up for decision of the similar
treaty of 1916 with the Chippewa
tribes covering the greater part of
northern Wisconsin is believed here
by those who have looked into the
situation. It is said that the Anti
Saloon league and allied forces stand
ready to take this action, confident
that the high court of the nation must
take the same view of this treaty as
of the other
The treaty of 1916 contained prac-
tically the same clause regarding the
sale of liquor On Indian lands and
lands upon which the Indians would
be likely to roam as did the treaty OF
1866. Included within the territory
which would be made dry if the old
er treaty is strictly interpreted and
enforced are Ashland and a number Of
the towns between Superior and that
city as we'll as south. That Superior
may also be included is considered a
strong probability.
The Wisconsin Anti-Saloon league
expects to bring test suit to deter
mine whether any of the Indian ceded
land in this state is made dry by the
decision in the Minnesota case

Niagara Falls, Ont, June 1.-THE
three South American mediators have
formally advised General Carranza by
telegraph that they will not admit his
representatives to the conference here
unless an armistice is declared and
internal as we'll as international phas-
es of the Mexican problem accepted
as the scope of mediation.
Follows Carranza Announcement
This action followed the receipt Of
a note from Rafael Zubaran, special
representative of CarranZa in Wash
ington announcing the appointment
of Fernando Iglesias CalderOn, Luis
Cabrera and Jose Vasconcelos as Con-
stitutionalist delegates to the media
ton at which, according to the view
of the Constitutionalist chief, lit is
sought to settle the international con-
f1ict which has arisen between the
United States and the Mexican repub-
lic"
The mediators told General Carran-
"a they feared he had not duly con-
gidered" their communication request
ing an armistice and that his repre-
sentatives should discuss the entire
Mexican problem.
U. S. Not Informed.
The notification was sent to General
Carranza at Saltillo shortly after the
American and Huerta delegates had
been in conference for two hours dis
cusing the personnel for the new pro-
visional government without reaching
any agreement. The American dele
gates were shown the Zubaran note,
but received no intimation of the re-
ply.
The Carranza communications were
barely mentioned at the conference
which was devoted entirely to the
question of selecting a provisional
president to succeed General Huerta.
1t was the third day of discussion Of
personnel and was as fruitless as pre-
Vious meetings.
Objections to All.
AS rapidly as the American dele
gates mentioned name, the Huerta
delegates cited their objections to it.
Absolutely no Roadway was made. The
American delegates spoke of but few
individuals as the Washington gov
eminent is experiencing considerable
difficulty in getting names of suitable
men through their Constitutionalist
connections
During the conference inquiry was
made as to whether Charles A.
Towne, former United States senator
from Minnesota, was representing the
interests of the Huerta government
in Washington. The Huerta delegates
replied that they knew nothing about
his activities

He used to drink coffee, as we all

glasses and has had no trouble with
his eyes since.
