A Manufactured Sandstorm

He murdered. pre- sumaby, while in the custody of the federals. for what reason has not been clearly explained Nor, far as we have been informed has in author ty been responsible for his murder. Vergara not man of sufficient importance to arouse the enmtv or even attract the attention of those high in authority. is improbable that Huerta ever heard of him until the of his murder seized upon by our government as an occasion to it's protectorshp of American citizens in Mex leo and instantly demand reparation.
 Scores of American born citizens have been murdered matreated in Mexico within the last year without exciting the administration to such show of resentment. When such incidents have been brought to the attention Washington. official regret has been expressed, but it has only recom mended to surviving Americans to get of that troube-ridden country.
 But now, in the of Vergara, who is not an American by blood, the administration, before the facts of his murder are known before it has been ascertained by whom he murdered what pretext sterny holds the federal government Sponsible and demands that it produce and punish the murderers.
 No believe but that for the killing of Benton, a British subject, presumably by the hand of Villa the responsible head the revolution, and the consequent demand of Great Britain for in quiry into the circumstances of the killing, we should have heard of the Vergara afafir. Consd ering the friendly attitude have taken toward the constitutionalist and the responsibility we bear foreign nations for the safety their citi zens in Mexico, have proceeded with great dia toriness in the Benton inquiry; as if feared il would disclose beyond question the guilt of Villa. In the opinion of the world, that crime is already fast ened upon him. and administration appears have found offsettng crime necessary and has seized avidy upon the Vergara incident.

SARAYEyo, Bosnia, June 29.-
Martial law was proclaimed today
both in the city and the district OF
Sarayevo in consequence OF the
assassination yesterday OF Archduke
Ferdinand and the Duchess OF Hohen-
berg.
According to semi-official report OF
the tragedy when Gravio Prinzip, the
young assassin, fired the fatal shots
Field Marshal Oscar Potierek, COVER
nor Of Bosnia, was seated in the arch
dukes motor car. Count Francis Won
Horroch was standing on the foot
board Of the car acting as a shield to
the occupants Of whom he had con-
stituted himself the special bodyguard
after the bomb had been thrown. a
short time before by Gavinvicis. The
archduke was joking with the count
about his precaution when the reports
Of several shots rang out. The aim OF
the assassin was SO true that each of
the bullets inflicted a mortal wound.
Neither the archduke nor the duchess
uttered sound but moment after
ward 1t was seen they had been hit.
Lieutenant Colonel Merrizzi, who had
been wounded by the bomb, in the
first attack, was today pronounced
out Of danger while the injury sus-
tained by Count waldeck is said to be
insignificant.
The Croatian students here today
made several attempts to punish the
serbs but the troops were called in
and maintained order. Gabrinovich,
1t was learned today, had been ex-
PEELED from Sarayevo two years ago
but had recently been permitted to re-
turn through the influence of So
cialist member Of the Diet.
Some Servian students here when
they heard Of the assassination shout
ed THANK God we need not do it our
selves" They were arrested as ac-
complies of the assassin.

building Has Already
Been Begun.

The 600-foot trestle on the Balti-
more and Ohio line crossing the big
ditch at Gauley, about three miles
west Of Cowan, was almost totally
destroyed by fire last night and early
this morning. The flames were dis
covered by track walkers at o'clock
Sunday evening and the trouble waA
Immediately reported. Help waa
rushed to the place from all points
and in very short time several
wrecking crews Fere fighting the
flames. At midnight eighteen Of the
thirty spans Of trestle work had been
destroyed and the flames were stu
beyond control.
While the big trestle was burning
and when but little more than half
destroyed, the officials had made
plans for its immediate rebuilding.
Before midnight one special train had
arrived at the scene. loaded with
lumber and material and with force
of carpenters and bridge builders.
At the same time two other trains
loaded with similar materials were
on their way from Parkersburg and
Clarksburg. Every bridgebuilder on
the system was being taken to the
scene and put to work at once.
The damage to the line is very
heavy. The scene of the fire is in
the rough mountain country and
there is absolutely no way in which
baggage or express can be transfer
red, to say nothing. OF freight. AT
present the passenger service will be
conducted by means of. a transfer at
the scene Of the fire. An embargo
has been placed on all baggage and
express because of the absolute i'm
possibility Of making the transfer.
because of physical conditions of the
country.
The trestle was located near Cow
an on the main line between, Clarks-
burg and Redwood at point ninety
nine miles from Clarksburg. How
the structure caught fire is unknown,
unless it caught from a spark from a
locomotive. There is no suspicion
Of incendiaryism. It will prove a
very costly accident, not only from
the value of the trestle; but from the
loss of all kinds Of traffic.

Villas march toward Mexico City.
villa, fresh from his victory last week
at 1acatecas, has returned TO Torreon,
bringing his entire army with him.
The relations of the northern zone
commander with General Carranza in
the opinion Of agents here today un-
questionably caused the abandonment
of the campaign. The much discussed
CarranZa%villa arrangement has
reached a breaking point, they assert
ed, In that the Constitutionalist's COM
mander-in-chief has declined to allow
villa to import cartridges for his men
and shells for his artillery through
the port of Tampico.
The port OF Tampico now is the
only entryway for munitions, which
the revolutionists may use as the
border still is closed to them by the
embargo Of the United States. At
Zacatecas Villa shot away practically
all OF the cargo of the Antilla, which
landed at Tampico according to his
reports here.
Carranza men, however, declare that
villa did not get the Antilla ammuni-
ton, which they say is still in Mon
terey. News of Villas return north
yesterday was regarded hero as
ANXIOUS by both factions.

INDUSTRIAL UNREST
Declares a Local Glass Man be.
fore the Federal Commits

PHILADELPHIA, June 29-The
effectiveness of trade agreements in
reducing labor troubles was inquired
into today by the feleral commission
on industrial relations which has
Dennis A. Hayes, president of the
Bottle Blowers Association Of the
United States and Canada; George
W. Yost, of Clarksburg, w. Va, pres
ident of the Glass and Bottle Manu-
facturers National Association, and
several local labor leaders were
unanimous in their opinions that col
lectiye bargaining brought about
peace between employer and en-
ecploye and that arrangements en-
tered into are not violated.
Mr.. Yost, as an employer, said
he would not care to go back to the
old days when there were no ar
engagements in the glass industry.
Employers now know where they
stand with regard to the cost Of labor
and can make contracts for year
for the sale Of their manufactured
products. Labor sometimes becomes
unreasonable, Mr.. Yost said, but
there is eventually an agreement
where collective bargaining is under
taken.
In reply to questions, Mr.. Yost sid
that one of the causes of industrial
unrest was too much legislation,
some OF which, however. was good.
He instanced the holding up OF
about $5,000,000 worth OF glassware
in his industry while rulings and in
terpretations are being made on the
enforcement of certain laws. Poli-
tics and business are too closely con-
nected, he said.
