washington, May 1.-orders to
ouadruplo the force Of federal caval-
rymen in the Colorado coal strike re-
gions went from the war department
late tonight. The entire 18th Regiment
from Fort Oglethorpe. Ga, and two
troops Of the 18th from Fort Robinson,
Neb., were ordered to proceed to the
scene at once, Col James Lockett of
the 18th to take supreme command of
tho situation.
An appeal for more federal forces
came early today from Governor Am
mons and was the subject of discus
sion at the cabinet meeting. Secretary
Garrison later went to the White
House with maps Of the coal regions
to demonstrate that the troops already
sent were not sufficient to guarantee
peace and order.
The President agreed and told the
secretary to send whatever troops he
thought best.
Secretary Garrison said he had is
sued no instructions for disarmament
in the coal fields. He said he would
take no action in this respect until
he had received a full report of con-
ditions in the strike zone from the
officers on the scene.

added, "as to what classes of citizens

GREATLY DESIRED
M'Kay, Reported Mellen's Counsel,
Sails for Europe During Days In
vestigation into New Haven
And the Billiard Co.

Washington, May New interest
was added today TO the investigation
by the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion into the financial relations Of the
New Haven Railroad and the Billiard
Co. by the unsuccessful efforts of the
commission to summons John Hall
Mckay, who has been mentioned as
private counsel for former President
Mellen and who, in the opinion of
Chief Counsel Folk, is an important If
not an essential witness. 1t was learn
ed by the commission that Mr.. Nc
Kay was at his office in New York to-
day and that some time during the
day he sailed for Europe Mr. Folk
is now trying to find out whether his
departure was before or after his
name was brought into the proceed
ings by the production of confidential
letters from Stevenson Taylor.

Uneasiness Allayed

The action of Secretary Garrison in
granting the joint request of Maj. Hol-
brook and Gov. Ammons for more fed
eral troops announced late today, has
served to allay uneasiness in quarters
where it was feared the quota of reg
rlar soldiers would not be sufficient to
maintain order.
While Maj. Holbrook and Gov. Am
mons today were devoting efforts to
secure additional troops, the question
of disarning strikers and mine en-
ployes remained in a secondary posi-
ton. Weather conditions prevented
action by the strikers who had plann-
ed TO vote on the question. On behalf
of the operators, j F. Welborn, pres
ident of the Colorado Fuel & Iron Co..
announced that the miners and guards
would be disarmed whenever such ac-
ton was deemed expedient by Maj
Philbrook.

Boston, May 1.-The joint grievance
committee of the Brotherhood Of Lo-

hood of Locomotive Firemen and En-
ginmen sent letters to officials of the
Boston e. Maine Railroad today, re-
questing "a definite answer on Sat
urday or on Monday at the latest" to
their demands for a reimbursement of

men involved would be ordered unless
a favorable answer was received, and
that they would be supported in any
action decided upon by the three other
railroad brotherhoods of which the
men of the Boston & Maine are MEM
bers. A conference of officials of all
five brotherhoods was held today, at
which an agreement for concurrent ac-
ton was reached according to a
statement given out after the confer
ence.
Alleged violations by the railroad of

Owners Pessimistic

San Francisco, May 1.-The message
from the Siberia relayed by the CAL
weston to the Philippines should not
be taken to mean that the Siberia is
now in good condition and proceeding
Manila, according to the active heads
of the Pacific Mail Steamship Co.
They feel confident that the message
the Galveston picked up and relayed
was sent out before the Siberia went
aground.
1t was pointed out by the secretary
of the company that the delay tho
Siberia must have suffered by going
aground would make it impossible for
her to reach Manila by $50 A. M. Sat
urday, according to her schedule, as
she was not due to arrive there until
Saturday.

standing order of the company in

a wireless message to a port they are
approaching As hours before they ex-
pect to arrive, telling when they will

The stock expression for such mes
sages is to report 'All well' and give
the hour of probable arrival. Ac-
cording TO the officials of the COM
pany, it is probable that such a mes
sage was sent out by Capt. Feeder on
Wednesday night and that the express
sion "All well" probably was garbled
in transmission to- read 'in good con-
dition.''
The company officials maintain a
pessimistic view of the station.

Hemingway Tells Little

Samuel Hemingway, president of the
Second National Bank of New Ha-
ven, one of the recalcitrant witnesses
of April 10, testified at length today,
but disclosed little. Mr.. Hemingway,
who was at one time treasurer of the
uch-diseussed Billiard Co.. said he
understood the concern was a holding
company, first capitalized at $1,000.
Subsequently the capital was increas-
ed to 100000. He said he did not
know where the capital came from
that he knew nothing of the COM
pany's operations.
Political contributions paid in 1904
by Mr.. Mellen to the Republican Ma
tional committee and to various state
committees amounting to S102, 900 fig
ured in the days testimony as an en-
livening incident. These payments it
was shown did not appear on the New
Ravens books, having been duly au-
thorized by the New Haven directors
out of unexpected profits" from Mr..
Mellen's sale of treasury stock of the
company.
Julian M Tomlinson, editor of New
Haven, testified about the eontribu-
tons, which, he said President Mellen
told him he had made out of his own
funds, afterwards being reimbursed by
the road. The witness said he recalled
seeing a voucher of the Consolidated
Railroad Co. another New Haven
subsidiary, showing a payment of
100000 to Mr. Robins, then general
counsel for the New Haven.
Mr.. Tomlinson also said he thought
the books show a payment of $4,000
to John Hall Mckay from the New
England Navigation Co.

In other quarters, however, the

caused continued doubt over the out1
look for broadening the scope of tho
mediators work to settlement Of the
whole Mexican situation.

Envoys Tireless

While the gravity and the hopefuls
ness of the situation varied from hour
to hour, the ENJOYS of Argentina, Bra
I'll and Chile kept steadily at their
work, holding two lengthy sessions at
the Argentina legation. Their long
conference last night with Secretary
Bryan was followed today by a con-
ference with the Spanish ambassador,
Senior Riapo, who represents the Huer-
Ia government. The mediators made
no announcement. 1t was known they
were expecting another definite de-
velopment today which might lead to
a statement later but its purport was
not disclosed.
Summary of Work
There was reason to believe, how
ever, that it related to the attitude OF
Carranza. who, having accepted the
mediators good offices, was now de-
sired to suspend hostilities.
Summing up what the mediators had
done thus far. well-posted authority
said it represented more actually ac-
complished in a given time than had
ever occurred in the history of inter-
mediation. He specified, beginning
April 26, and continuing six days in
Guiding today:
First, acceptance of good offices by
the United States; second, acceptance
by Huerta; third, acceptane by Car
rama; fourth, suspension of HOSTILE
ties by the United States: fifth, sus-.
pension of hostilities by Huerta.
A sixth development. it was expected
would further emphasize what was be-,
ing done.
Direct Communication
The conference of the Spanish am
bassador with the mediators was not
to deliver any communication from
Huerta, but to go over the general sit
uation. AS showing the directness Of
the mediators they are putting aside

that the money for the butchers bill has
gone for new hat, Brand, Hudson Ce-
ment company president, offers Bob $40

auto ride and they are seen by Dick
She receives 800 "conspirator's money
by mail from Brand, and in the sudden
change from skimping economies and I'M

sense of true moral values. The clandes-
tine auto rides continue. Jane tries In
vain to influence Bob to accept Brands
orer. Dick goes to see Brand with some
vague idea of making him cease his rides
with Jane. Brand insults Dick, who
knocks him down.
