Matt Wilson, son of the late Con-
gresham Benjamin Wilson, is a guest
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. ]. W.
Brown. Mr.. Wilson has been engaged
in the oil business at Tampico, Mex,
number Of years, and he is now a
refugee from that country owing to
the troubles between the United States
and Mexico. He arrived at Galveston,

Va, where he visited his brother.
Josiah Wilson and family several days.
Mr.. Wilson hopes to return to Tam
pico in the near future to re-engage in
business there. He IKE many other
Americans thought It unwise to re-
main there during the "war." Numer-
Gus friends here and in the county are
glad to learn of his fine success in
Mexico and of his excellent health.
Particularly pleased are they that he
was not among the victims of the Mex
leans so far as personal safety was
concerned but sorry to learn of prop
erty losses occasiooned by the "un-
pleasantness."

Hearing is Marked Mostly by
Emotional Letters Written
by Rapp to Mrs. Dean.
SINGER is VERY JOYOUS
Over the Verdict and Will
Speed to Festival to Take a
Leading Part.

CHICAGO, June 9.-Mme. Ernestine
Schumann-Heink was today granted
a divorce from her husband, William
Rapp, Jr., whose ardent epistles to
Mrs. Catherine Dean OF New York
were the sensation Of the suit.
Nhe victory for the famous contralto
came when Superior Judge Sullivan
instructed the jury, which has heard
the case, to return verdict in favor
of the complainant.
The divorce hearing was marked
principally by the emotional letters
written by Rapp to Mrs. Catherine
Dean, of New York. and the repeated
intimation that the defense would
prove allegations, which would Offset
the conduct charged against Rapp.
No attempt was made to contradict
the authenticity of the letters credited
to Rapp and the evidence of the de-
Tense failed to show moral obliquity
on the part of the opera singer.
Madam Schumann-Heinks showed her
Joy at the verdict and declared she
would speed to the Biareuta- Wagner
ian festival in which she is to take a
leading part

PICKETING IS REDUCED
BY POLICE TO SYSTEM
And Strikers Use PoIiteness In
stead of InSoIenCe in East
PittSburg.
tBY ASSOCIATED PRESS,

PITTsBURG, June 9.-Stringent or
ders from the police of East Pitts
burg today reduced picketing at the
Westinghouse plant. where 10000
workers are on strike, to system.
Only twenty-five strikers were allowed
on the bridge leading to the main
gates of the electric plant. They were
allowed to question persons entering
the plant, but they did it politely,
knowing that insolence would result
in the withdrawal of all pickets.
Around the factory, in the streets
and on the hills overlooking the works.
hundreds of strikers congregated
closely watching every move of the
company's watchmen. Rumors that
strikebreakers were to be imported.
although denied by the company, are
not believed by the strikers, who re-
fuse to believe the strike has settled
down to test of endurance.
Efforts to settle the trouble by the
merchants of the Turtle Creek valley
were continued but even some Of the
leaders were not optimistic as the
strikers declare that the first consider
alton must be recognition Of the Allie
gheny Congenial Industrial Union By
the company.
The Allegheny Congenial Industrial
Union, made up of 12,0G0 members,
10000 of whom have been striking
since last Friday to enforce recogni-
ton by the Westinghouse Electri .
and Manufacturing Company, the
Westinghouse Machine Company and
the Pittsburg Meter Company, is an
independent organization without af-
filiation with any other labor organi-
cation.
Its leader. Miss Bridget Kenney.
was born within ten miles of where
she IS directing the strike and knew
nothing about union labor until last
winter. All offers of assistance from
outside have been rejected by the I'm
ion. Miss Kenney declared they
wanted no donations by the American
Federation of Labor. the Industrial
Workers of the World or the county
Socialist organization.
The CongeE;4l Industrial Union,
she said, had only one object aud
that was the welfare OF the Wrestling.
nouac employees. This. she said. could

that any work .,.l might joil- the I'M
ion and as there are approximately
100000 unorganized workers in the
factories OF the Pittsburg district.
sociologists are watching the conduct
of the strike with the feeling that If
it Is successful there may be wide
spread extension of the Congenial
Industrial Unions activity to other
industries.

MEDIATORS SUBMIT
COUNTER PROPOSAL
of American Government to
Mexican Delegates for Pac-
ifiCation of Mexico.

NIAGARA FALLS, June 9-The
mediators today submitted to the
Mexican delegates the counter pro-
posal of the American government
for the pacifcation Of Mexico. The
American plan is with few moditi-
cations the same as that which the
mediators and Mexican delegates re-
Gently agreed upon and which Gen
eral Huerta approved. 1t provides
the method OF transferring the exec
.utive power in Mexico City from the
present to a new provisional govern
ment, which shall, in few months,
conduct elections for president, vice
president and members of congress.
No names have been agreed upon
between the Mexican or American
delegates for the new president or
his cabinet. In fact neither side has
yet made its nomination. The pro-
gram of the proceedings is about as
follows: Within a day or two the
Mexican plan and the American plan
will have been dovetailed into one
and a full conference of all parties
will be called.
Final approval is not expected i'm
mediately from either party, howev-
er, as the mediators then will ask
the American delegates to begin to
ascertain the attitude of the Consti-
tutlonalists. This may proceed
through the Washington government
or in any manner the delegates
choose. The mediators will take a
brief recess in the meantime.
Should there be any new sugges-
tions from the Constitutionalists the
United States government will en-
deavor to arrive at compromise with
them. When an agreement is reached
the results will again be placed before
the mediation board and the Huerta
delegates. The expectation is that II
the Constitutionalists are willing to
discuss the peace plan with the Amer
lean government and agreement can
be reached in short time as the
program already makes provision for
liberal participation by the Constitu-
tionalists in the new provisional gov
eminent. Thu correspondence be-
tween the mediators and the Consti-
tutionalists is expected to be brought
to an end within another day or two.
Mexico will not be asked by the
United States to pay war indemnity.
The Huerta government has learned,
through the American delegates, that
the Wilson administration will be con-
tent to have set up in Mexico a stable
government to succeed Huerta rule.
