Such Is Suspicion of Many

Hoping Mediation Will
Prove Successful

Washington, D. c., June 24-Per
sistent reports Of sniping by Mexican
federals on the American outposts al
Vera Cruz and rumors of constitution
aist further advances toward Mexico
City served today to stir interest In the
Mexican situation.
Although the war department will
make public no reports from General
Funston regarding sniping on the
American forces it is known that
there has been an investigation of con-
tinued reports to that effect. There
have been many differences that Huer-
tas forces were attempting to provoke
a fight with the American troopers and
force intervention.
Patient waiting on mediation contin-
ued today to be the attitude OF the
administration. The coming OF Alfre-
do Breceda, a representative of Car
rama to Washington tomorrow was
awaited with interest in official quar-
ters.
That Breceda and his colleagues are
coming to participate in conferences
with officials Of the Washington gov
ernment jis declared to be fact but
whether they or other constitutional
lists will go to Niagara Falls to join the
american and Huerta delegatesfin for
NAL discussion Of peace still seems
problematical.
Administration leaders insisted how
hopeful.
Discuss Peace Plan.
Niagara Falls, Ont, June 24.-Furth-
er discussion of those planks of the
peace program which relate to interna-
tional difference between the United
States and the Huerta government oc-
cupied the mediators and delegates to-
day while waiting for definite under
standing of instructions issued to con-
stitutionalist agents who are expected
to come here. It was said that at
least one of the planks will be framed
as protocol today and that the others
would be agreed upon by the end of
the present week.
If the purpose of the principals is
fulfilled the international side of the
controversy will be cleared up leaving
the question of selecting provisional
president and other internal problems
to conference Of representatives Of
the constitutionalists and the Huerta
government.
Notwithstanding reports from New
Orleans quoting Carranza spokesmen
as casting doubt on the probability of
such meeting, confidence prevailed
in American quarters that ultimately
the two Mexican factions would be

MINERS ENGAGE
IN A CIVIL WAR
Factions at Butte, Mont, Get
Into Pitched Battle
During Night
HALL
BLOWN TO PIECES
Twenty Dynamite Charges
Effectually Prevent a
Speech BY Meyer

Butte, Mont, June 24-One man
was shot and killed, one was fatally
wounded, another seriously hurt, and
property valued at 100000 was de-
stroyed by dynamite, during the riotfng
which occurred last night at the Butte
Miners union hall between factions of
the union.
Dozens of shots were fired and more
than twenty blasts OF dynamite were
set off during the night.
Although the city was quiet early
today, Governor Stewart at Helena
was preparing to issue a call for state
troops to prevent further disorders.
Many armed deputies were at the hall
last night to preserve order at meet
ing called to discuss plans for bring
ing about settlement Of the differ
ences between the factions Of the
union. Large numbers of the seced-
ers from the Western Federation of
Miners who have planned to form a
new union under the auspices of the
Industrial Workers of the World were
near the hall
The insurgents stormed the hall and
Sheriff Driscol's deputies fired several
shots into the air to drive back the
crowd but the shots had no effect. The
crowd pushed about and when deputies
fired another volley, Ernest Noy, travel
ing inspector for the Montana Demur-
rage bureau, fell dead. Two others
were wounded. The shooting caused
the insurgents to retreat but soon they
returned with dynamite, which they
exploded under the union hall. The
front Of practically every building IN
the square Of which the miners hall
was the center, was wrecked by the
continued charges of explosives.
Dynamiting did not cease until after
midnight. after more than score OF
blasts had been exploded and the fed
Grafton hall practically demolished the
walls in front and back having been
blown out and the Doof caved to the
ground.
Leaders Of the new union with their
lieutenants spent most of the night
urging the men to retire to their
homes. The whereabouts of Charles
Meyer president Of the Western Fed
Grafton of Miners who fled the miners
hall when the firing began last night,
Is matter Of conjecture. He leaped
into an automobile and was driven
rapidly away. There was report
that he had taken refuge in the county
Jail but Sheriff Driscoll denied this Of
fering to conduct searching party
through the prison. The belief pre-
vailed that Meyer and other fleeing
federation off cials have left town.

PROGRESSIVE PRAISE
 OF THE PRESIDENT.

In his speech in Kansas City, kans. opening the State campaign for the Progressives, Henry J. Allen declar- ed for the new rule in county and State affairs defended President Will sons administration in it's Mexican and other policies, and declared that the new spirit in politics called for the elimination of politics from local and State offices
 The only argument that is made for the amalgamation of the Progress sive and Republican parties is that united united we can whip the Demo crats. That has been the aim of all our political activities as far back as I can remember That is the reason we have so much slow progress in tht development of the government. Has 1t occurred to you that possibly tie Democrats do not deserve to be whipped? If Woodrow Wilson carries out his program and succeeds in do- ing what everyone eonedees that he is trying to do, possibly the American people will demand his reelection, and why shouldn't they? That is the new idea, the new spirit i'll peli tics.
 If he fails il will be because his party is merely the Democratic party and unable to catch the new spirit. Then his party should be defeated, just as the Republican party was de feated
 Let us get the vision of the gov ernment, rather than the party.
 The people must first get posses sion of the government and then ad minister it for people who live un- der it and who pay the costs of the administration. We can neither re duce taxes nor promote the public welfare upon a platform of whipping the Democrats Kansas City Star. (Prog.)

 In the Is per cent Democratic in- crease there must have been a con siderable accession from real Pro- gressives.
 Maine, it is also to be remembered, is a State where attack was particu- larly strong on the Democratic tariff policy for free foodstuffs and where large shipbuilding interests for the coastwise trade were ugly, on ac- count of the Panama tolls question Republican campaigning made the ut most of these factors, and, of course, of the business dullness.

FROM CALIFORNIA.

North Cucamonga, Calif., Oct. e.- Editor News: I will endeavor to write few lines for the News, as was formerly a resident of Spring dale, in the land of the big red ap- pie. We have been in California i've months and like it fine. This IS d beautiful country, with mild climate and fine fruit They raise fine or anges, peaches, grapes, lemons anu some few apples here, but the apples don't taste like Arkansas apples they are not near so good. Good wages are paid for work. Grapes are a good price this this year and are plentiful too. On vineyard ol 5000 acres they get from four to i've boxes on vine. Peaches are also q good price. We are having nice weather now. Have had rain something unusual here for this time of the year. This is sandy coun= try, but they have the roads oiled until they are as hard as a cement walk, not only in town, but every where. Garden can be raised the year around, but one has to irrisate on account of having no rain hefe only in the winter. Most anything can be raised here, but still give me the land of the big red apple.
 Will bring these few words 10 .a close.

BENTON COUNTY APPLE NEWS.

While a large share of the apples around Springdale have been shipped, many orchards near Rogers have scarcely been touched, save for the culls and windfalls. It is evident the ISpringdale growers thought the best thing was 10 get their stock out of the way as quickly as possible, while the Rogers growers are inclined to hold for better prices. It will be necessary to wait several months to see which was right.
 Up to date, the Rogers Fruit Grow Iers Association has shipped a total Iof 8 cars of green apples, all in bulk They are loading at Lowell, Ayoca, Apple Spur, Irelan's Spur, down on the K. C. x M and also in Rogers. They have been averaging right around 80 cents for their bet ter grade of apples and a little less for the No. 2s They have been fortunate in selling their apples on the track so far, but the selling prop osition seems to be getting harder ev- cry day.
 While a number of growers have begun their barreling this week, it is not expected that the movement will be under full headway until the first of next week. Not more than a quarter as many apples will be barreled in Benton county this fall as would have been had the price been better or the future more promising. Afraid that apples will be slow sale the coming winter, the buyers have been shy of buying and the farmers seem afraid to take the risk of hold ing in cold storage So they are rushing all the bulk stuff they possi- bly can and one buyer in Rogers Sat urday reported that he had bought car of good apples for DO cents hundred. That is an exception, now ever. and most of the growers are getting at least 65 cents hundred- Rogers Democrat.
 Rogers has some of the finest ap- pIes this year we have ever seen and is is too bad the prices are not bet ter. But the cotton slump in the south has made Texas poor market and towns that used to take d dozen cars during the apple season, now have trouble in handling one-Rog- CTS Democrat.
 Kansas is d favorite shipping point this season but the reports say there is scarcely a town of any importance that has not already had car or two. Missour is shipping to Kansas, and their local apples are also on the market.
 While the bulk of apples going out just now are Ben Davis and Ganos, here are so many different varieties represented that it takes an expert to recognize them all, if there IS anyone who can be depended upon to do so.
