FREE PORT IS URGED
THE PLAN Is SUCCESSFUL,
COAST AUTHORITIES IN SESSION
Publicly Owned and Operated Port Is
Believed Best in General Way and
Would Irxcease and Develop Trade.

Seattle, Wash, June 24.-Tae dis
eussion by the port authorities Of the
Pacific coast, in conference here, to
establish a uniform port administration
with uniform charges, was continued
today. The noon recess was featured
by luncheon given by the Seattle
commercial club in honor of the WIS.,
itors.
A feature of yesterdays program was
the reading of a paper from Robert
Dollar, the steamship man, in which he
advocated a free port, and pointed to
Manila and HongkOng as examples of
success under this policy.
General II. NJ. Crittenden, chairman
of the Seattle port commission, was
doubtful whether a uniform system of
charges in all ports would effect tns
producer and consumer.
John II. McCallum, of the state
board of harbor commissioners, Califor-
MIA, was chosen president of the con-
ference, and Hamilton Higday, of Sc
attic, secretary.
McCallum said he thought q publicly
owned and operated port was best in
a general way. All the surplus finan-
ces, he said, should be turned back for
further development.
Alexander Bailie, of Balfour, Guthrie
& Co., advocated the appointment of a
superintendent of tae port of Seattle,
as a buffer between the merchants and
the port commission.
Robert Bridges, of the Seattle port
commission, declared the only way to
eradicate the baneful influence of the
privately owned docks, side by side
with public docks, was to enlarge the
public projects.
The development of public docks will
benefit the railroads, according to g
paper read by Halimton Higday, from
G.. b. Hegardt, engineer of the Portland
dock commission, because it would in
crease commerce.
G.. E. Gordon, Los Angeles harbo
commissioner, advocated traffic de
partment in the port organization.

Juarez, Mex, June 24.-Skirmishing
between General Villa 5 advance guard
and federal outposts at Pimienta,
suburb of Zacatecas, was reported here
today, Thus far. it was stated, there
had not been many casualties.
Villa was hurrying to the front from
Fresnilo. He was still hampered by
lack of artillery, which mis- men were
having great difficulty in bringing for
ward over the soggy, washed-out roads.
it was believed, however, the general
assault on Zacatecas would begin to-
morrow.
No Love Is Lost
Whether or not General Natera would
aid in the attack was not known, but
it was increasingly evident that be-
tween Villa and General Carranza and
the latter s supporters, among whom is
Natera, no love is lost.
Villa plainly was planning his cam
paign regardless of Carranzista coop
Grafton. Roberto Pesquiera, Carranza S
confidential agent here, received tele-
gram from him today, saying he expect
ed Zaeateeas would be in his hands by
next week and adding, without asking
for orders, tnat from there he expected
to push on at once to Mexico City.
Pesquiera has been urging Villa to
avoid an open clash with Carranza but
to work with him for the constitution
alist cause. Villa, however, has ceased
to refer to the constitutionalist leadei
as "my chief" and mentions him only

Washington, June 5i.-A Tampico re-
port, resting on nigh authority, was to
the effect today that the Mexican re-
bells took Zacatecas June 10 after a
hard fight. 1t was stated that San
Luis Potosi was expected to fall soon
and that battle was imminent at
Querataro.
On the theory that the federals would
soon be driven from San Luis Potosi,
according to the same Tampico source,
the rebels at Tampico were repairing
the railroad westward from there to
facilitate their movement to a point
between the threatened city and the
capital, with the purpose of cutting off
the Huertistas retreat.
With a similar object in view, it was
spid G.heial Natera was trying to reach
Aguas Calientes.
Many trainloads of rebels, it was
added, were hurrying to Monterey to
join in the pursuit Of the federals.
Another story was that General
Aguilla, rebel commander at Tuxpam,
had intercepted 100000 rounds of am
munition recently landed for the fed
erals at Puerto Mexico and was using
it against the federals themselves. This

the roofs of nearby buildings the min
ers poured steady fire into the hall.
Meyer hurried out with the other of
ficers of the local union, leaped into
automobiles and rushed out of the city.
They are reported to be at the Gagnon
mine today. Threats of lynching
against Meyer if he returns were freely
uttered
Secure the Dynamite.
After gaining possession of the min
ers' union hall, the seceders sent a
band of men to the Stewart mine who
compelled the hoisting engineer to low
er them into the workings. Securing
several boxes of dynamite, the rioters
returned to the hall and under,cOv of
a fusillade of shots by their comrades,
set off a charge Of dynamite against
the side of the hall. This was at 10
o o'clock and the dynamiting continued
until two this morning. Twenty
charges of dynamite were exploded
against the walls of the historic Union
Hall, and the building was almost en-
tirely reduced to ruins.
Desultory firing continued all night.
President Mcdonald of the new inde-
pendent union distributed 5000 hand
bills during the night urging the min
ers to disperse. The excited rioters
tore these to bits and completely ig-
nored their leader plea and continued
to set off charges of dynamite against
the Union Hall until the building col
lapsed.

Owing to the leaky aspect of the
skies today it is announced by King
Bing that the Coronation exercises for
the crOwning of Her Majesty Queen
Anne vi may be held either at the
Hotel Marion or at the Ryan building.
1t all depends upon the weather tomor-
row, however, and should it clear, the
exercises will be held upon the court
house lawn as originally planned.
Despite the rain though, they will be
held, and the Cherrians are commond-
ed by King Bing, to be on hand
promptly at $3.50 at the Hotel Marion
to act as royal escort to her majesty.
Every Salem citizen is prophesying
good weather for the Cherry fair re-
gardless of the occasional showers and
the electrical floats for the Illuminated
parade are nearly all completed. The
Artisans float, which won the Grand
prize at the Portland Rose festival, ar.
rived over the Oregon electric this
morning and will be seen in the Cherry
Fair parade. Also the Newsboys float
which won the prize for the most
unique float in the Rose show parade
arrived on the same car and was being
mounted on the trucks this morning.
The Carnival attractions are being
put up today and the decorators promise
to have the Ryan building finished by
tonight. The program of motorboat
races and other aquatic events is prac.
tically complete and will be pulled off
rain or shine as no amount of rain will
damage the river for the boat races
The only feature of the rose show that
might be hurt by the rain is the motor
cycle races but as they are not sched-
uled to start until Friday Afternoon
there is plenty of time for the faii
grounds track to dry off and the pres
ent indications are that the rain vii
even prove a benefit.
The weather men, official and other
wise, say that there must be gooC
weather but anyway the 1914 Cherry
Fair will be the biggest ever attempted
in this city and the best one. Stanley
Barton now that he has his electrical
parade idea under way, is devoting hi
time to the society circus and claim
to have signed up an aggregation o
equestrian stars that are unexcellet
under canvas today. His trapeze per
formers have performed before crowne,
heads in various parts of the globe an,
the other features of the complete tw
ring circus are all first class.
Entries have begun to filter in fo
the numerous street sports and tn
baby show will assume unusual propol
tions from the early interest manifesto
by the mothers of the city. The eudgen
les contest in that it is a fore-runne
to the big contest to be staged at tn
state fair this fall is attracting numer
/ Gus entries and Miss Margaret Wishart
who has charge Of the Eugeneies cor
test has all the details arranged.
1t is not necessary to enter the babie
in the Eugeneics contest before th
date set for examination. The mother
may bring their babies on Thursda
and Friday between the hours of 2 an
p. M, and will be presented wit
score cards and the babies will be e,
amined by the physicians in charge.
