Plans Practically Completed for An
nuaI Conference, Over Which
Bishop Quale Will Preside
FPS Clergy to Attend.

Fond du Lac.-The feature of the
annual meeting of the Wisconsin
Methodist Episcopal conference in
Fond du Lac, Sept. 8, will be the ques-
ton of merger with the west Wis

ference for the whole state
This fact became apparent and the

state were assembled in the prepare
ton Of the program. The west Wis
consin conference will hold its annual

timent began to crystalline in this con-
ference in favor of the proposed plan,
There is a feeling it will go through
and the action of the two conferences
will be submitted to the general con-
ference for approval at the quadrien-
NAL meeting in 1916.
Plans have been practically complet.
ed for the conference over which
Bishop William A. Quayle of st. Paul
will preside in the new Division Street
church. 1t is expected the conference
will be attended by 225 clergy and by
some 200 lay delegates.

ARMISTICE SIGNED IN
MEXICO; FIGHTING TO STOP
Full Guarantees to Everybody Are
Basis of the Peace Negotiations,
Announces General iturbide.

Mexico City, July 24.-Gen. Eduardo
Iturbide announced that the govern
ment and the constitutionaIists have
signed an armistice and that all fight
ing between them will cease at once.
General Iturbide, who spoke for Pro
visional President Carbajal, is gov
ernor Of the federal district.
Governor Iturbide added that the
peace negotiations will be advanced
upon a basis giving full guarantees to
everybody. This is taken to mean
that General Carranza has agreed to
a general amnesty, which is the chief
point for which President Carbajal has
been contending.
Washington, July 24.-Tangible evil
dence placed in the hands of the Sec
rotary of state by the Carranza wing
Of the constitutionalists has convinced
Mr.. Bryan that Consular Agent George
E. Carothers has been biased in favor
of General Villa. AS a result Mr..
Carothers will be recalled or dis
missed within ten days.
A special representative of the state
department will be commissioned to
investigate the present situation be-
tween Carranza and Villa. John Lind
may be sent on this mission. It is
held at the White House that the
stand Lind took concerning Huerta
and his advice to this country to aid
the constitutionalists has now been
indicated by the abdication of Huerta.
The Abe. mediators, Seniors Da
Cana, Naon and Suarez, called at the
White House and exchanged felicita-
tons with the president over what
both the mediators and President Viii
son term ''the success of mediation"
1t was the formal close of the pro-
ceedings.
Vera Cruz, July 24.-Tt was reported
here that a very critical situation had
developed in Mexico City. Major Gar
said that for five successive nights fir
ing had been going on in the capital
and that a sensational jail delivery had
taken place at the military prison, fol
lowed by depredations by the escaped
convicts. Foreigners are reported to
be concentrating for defense or leaving
the capital.

bill in equity against the New Haven
road, accusing it of being a monopoly.
The bill alleges the New Haven
has violated the Sherman act ''in Va
rious ways by restraining trade and
commerce in the New England states
and has acquired monopOlies Of rail-
roads and water transportation and
trolley transportation in Connecticut,
Rhode Island, Massachusetts and New
York"
The bill asks for a dissolution of
the alleged monopoly. 1t emphasizes
the density of population in the terri
tory involved, which, it is claimed,
makes the violation of the Sherman
act more reprehensible.

the suit against the New Haven are:
William Rockefeller John T. Pratt and
George F. Baker of New York; Charles
F. BROKER of Assenial, Conn; William
Skinner of Holyoke, Mass; D. Newton

RIB LAKE. SAWMILL BURNED
Flames Starting in Boiler Room of
Large Plant lmperiI Lives of
200 Men.

Medford-Fire which started from
an unknown cause destroyed the big
sawmill of the Rib Lake Lumber com.
pany. The loss, which is estimated at
$150,000, is partly covered by insur.
ance.
The fire fighters had hard time in
saving the planning mill nearby. The
fire is thought to have started in the
boiler room. In a moment the entire
building was in flames and could not
be saved. The plant will most likely
be rebuilt
The mill was one of the largest in
the state. Two hundred men narrow.
ly escaped with their lives, so quickly
did the fire spread.
All of the employees were taken from
the structure and efforts were made to
prevent the flames spreading to the
neighboring buildings The planning
mill was saved, but large piles Of lum-
Der and timber stock were destroyed,
and for time it was feared the rising
wind would carry the flames into the
other parts Of the village.
A party of forty men who had been
searching the woods for Andrew
Kendl, a missing 8-year-old boy, as
sisted in fighting the flames.

PROBE Of ROCK
ISLAND IS NEXT
Commerce Commission to lnyes-
tigate Its Affairs.
JOSEPH w. FOLK IN CHARGE
Inquiry May Uncover Only the Com
panys Unwisef investments in
Other Properties-PIans of the
New Haven Directors

New York, July 24.-Next on the
list Of railroads to be investigated by
the interstate commerce commission
is the Rock Island. The inquiry into
its affairs will begin next week.
Joseph W Folk, who conducted the
commissions investigation of the New
York, New Haven & Hartford, is ex-
pected to appear at the Offices of the
company, IA Wall street, next week
with corps of expert accountants to
make a preliminary examination Of
the company's accounts
A director of the Rock Island de-
clared that the company would well
come an Investigation by the interstate
commerce commissioners. He said an
mistakes made by the Rock Island in
its investments in other properties,
such as the loss of about SIS, 100000 in
the acquisition and disposition of the
st. Louis & San Francisco; the loss of
about 100000 in the purchase and
sale of the Chicago & Alton, and about
100000 loss in the purchase Of coal
properties. These things are common
knowledge to financial interests.
New Haven directors will fight to a
finish the effort of the United States
government to force them to part with
the control of the Boston & Maine
stock on the basis demanded by the
Massachusetts legislature, namely,
that each certificate shall bear stamp
stating that the state has the right at
any time to buy the stock "at the fair
value thereof in accordance with law"
There will be no effort on the part Of
the New Haven directors, it was said,
to prevent the government going ahead
with the dissolution suit ordered by
President Wilson, and there is no in
tention Of negotiations for consent
decree" which would prevent long liti-
cation.
Washington, July Ex-senator Nor
ris of Nebraska, originator of the New
Haven inquiry, introduced a bill in
the senate embodying his idea of a
code of ethics which the public should
require of railroad directors. Jail SEN
fences for selfish advice to subordi-
mates is the keynote of the bill.
Norris would provide that whenever
a railroad official or director either re-
quests, directs or advises the conceal
ment from the stockholders or the in
terstate commerce commission of any
item of expense approved by the direc-
tors, they shall serve time in jail. Sim
liar penalties are imposed where stock
of property in another company is
purchased without the definite ap-
prevail of the interstate commerce
commission.
The use of passes, tickets or money
belonging to d common carrier, to in
form public Officials, local, state or
national, of elections, is strictly for
hidden.

WILSON GIVES IN;
JONES WITHDRAWN
President Receives His First De-
feat From Congress.
WAS WARNED BY SENATORS
Several Who Usually Support Him
Refused to Vote for His personal
Choice" for Federal Reserve
Board Member.

Washington, July 25.-President Viii
son has surrendered to the strong op-
position to his nomination OF Thomas
ID. Jones Of Chicago for the federal re-
serve board, and has withdrawn Mr..
Jones name. This is the first defeat
congress has administered to the presi-
dent
Mr.. Jones was the presidents "per-
sonaI choice" for the board. The presi-
dent SO announced several weeks ago
in letter to Senator Owen, chairman
Of the banking and currency commit
tee. This letter was the signal for re-
newed efforts on the part Of the sena-
tors opposing Jones. Their triumph
was signalized by the presidents an
nouncement.
The friends of the administration
made every effort to swing enough
votes to confirm Jones. They were at
least five short. The attacks on the
president, on Jones and on the Demo
Gratis finally became so bitter that the
Democratic leaders went to the White
House and franticaIly urged the presi-
dent to give in.
The climax came when a group Of
senators who have been regarded as
friendly to the administration in the
fight sent word to the president that if
he forced them to vote they could not
and would not support him and his
candidate. Among these senators
were Clarke of Arkansas, Johnson Of
Maine and Shively of Indiana. There
were eight or nine others in the group,
The presidents announcement, an
nouncing his withdrawal of the nomi-
nation, was written presumably after
the receipt of word from these SEN
ators.
The president did not take his defeat
gracefully. There is an underlying
note of bitterness in his letter to Mr..
Jones, acceding to his request that his
name be withdrawn, and with a certain
amount of sarcasm he refers to Sen
ators Reed of Missouri and Hitchcock
Of Nebraska, who were leading the
fight against Jones, as members of the
majority who have usually acted with"
the Republicans.
The presidents withdrawal of the
nomination came at the close of a day
in which both the president and Jones
were bitterly attacked by senators OPP
posed to the appointment.
Senator Reed of Missouri, Democrat,
in a speech to the senate, denounced
the Harvester trust, of which Jones is
a director; characterized Jones, by in
ference, as a criminal, and indirectly
attacked the president as an enemy of
Democracy.

Washington, July 25.-The navy de-

with the state department that the
transport Prairie with officers and ma
rines has left Guantanamo for a port
in Haiti, probably Cape Haitien, where
the United States battleship South
Carolina is stationed.
AS Captain Eberle of the Washing
ton reports fighting still in progress at
Puerto Plata, it appears that the naval
officers have failed to bring about
peace conferences either in Haiti or
San Domingo and that the landing of
United States marines may be looked
for at any moment.
1t was also officially announced that
this government has no present inten-
ton of administering, after seizure,
the customs ports of Haiti.
New York, July 24.-Orders to
mobilize 1000 marines for interven-
ton in Haiti were issued to the vari-
Gus navy yards along the Atlantic
coast by the navy department.

Law VIII Ss ENFORCED.
The state department Of weights
and measures is preparing to enforce
tbs net container law enacted by the
last legislature, which goes into ef.
fect on September l, simultaneously
with the federal law. It requires that
all articles Of food and drink sold IN
the package must be plainly and con,
sptcuogsly marked on the OUTSIDE &c
show the amount of food contained. Il
covers bottled goods Of all kinds, beY
erages, condiments, spices, etc. 1t is
practically the same as the fedora
law. 1t applies to package goods, but
not to goods sold in bulk. The stats
law defines the term package" the
national law does not

includes wrapped meats, such as hams
and bacons, as packages. The Ohio
attorney general holds TO the contrary,
and a Nebraska court has held that
such meats are not packages. Under
the Wisconsin Interpretation, sau-
sages wrapped in the usual edible GOV.
ering are packages and subject to the
net container law. 1t is probable that
wholesale interests will bring an &C
ton to contest the validity of such
rulings. Attorney General Owen has
held that this law covers cartons of
butter with thin paper around them,
and cheese inclosed in tinfoil.
To articles of food, the term mis-
branded" shall apply:
ITO articles of food in package form
which do not bear plainly and onspic-
uously marked on the outside thereof
the name and address of the manufac-
turer, packer or sealer.
ITO articles of food in package
form if the actual quantity of the con-
tents be not plainly and conspicuously
marked on the outside of the package
IN terms Of weight, measure or numer-
zeal count; reasonable variations, how
ever, shall be permitted from the
stated weight, measure or numerical
court and the dairy and food commits
sioner shall establish tolerances for
the same by rules and regulations"
Other articles Of food in package
form are enumerated as coming under
this law.
The term package" as applied to
articles of food means a closed recep-
tacle of any kind in which an article
Of food is kept in stock which with it's
contents is sold to the public.
The need Of a net weight law in
this state was shown when the Stevens
Point city sealer sent to the state de-
partment consignment of wrapping
paper weighing one-half pound, which
had been wrapped around an eight
pound ham and included in the weight
for which the consumer paid.
