On to Mexico City!

The rebel march upon Mexico Citv
is now on in earnest. Pancho Villa,
supreme commander of his own army
without interference from Carranza,
has taken up the march from Torreon
to Zacatecas.
Villas march upon Zacatecas was
fastened by receipt of news that Pas
quail Orozco was advancing north Of
Zacatecas with a force of federals.
Villa will cooperate with the Carranza
generals on to the Mexican capital un-
less he is defeated by Huerta's forces.
Panfilo Natera, who Carranza desig.
natedyto command the forces at zaca.
teeas, will serve in a subordinate
capacity to Villa.
Carranza will have nothing to say
about Villas handling of his army nor
will he attempt to molest the govern
ment of the country that Villa now
holds or later captures, except when
invited by Villa to take charge.

MISSING LINK FOUND
Ellis Island Physician Sees In Finn
Perfect Man-Ape.

Ellis Island Physician Sees In Finn
Perfect Man.Rpe.
The missing link between man aud
monkey which Darwin looked for but
never found-a man-ape with all the
characteristics of our alleged tree
climbing ancestors except tail-was
found about three weeks ago at Ellis
island at the entrance to New York
harbor and described to the research
association at Columbia university by
DR.. Howard Knox, stationed at Ellis
island.
"The case | am speaking of was a
Finn, thirty years of age" said DR..
Knox. THE head was one, the ex
ternal anatomy of which | will never
be likely to forget. The forehead was
low and receding, the eyebrows long
and shaggy the eyes sharp and
piercing, the nose saddle shaped with
a prominent tip, the lips large and
protruding and the chin massive and
heavy"
DR.. Knox described the man as
having teeth formed and arranged like
an apes, ears below their normal posi-
tion and unusually long arms, His
hands were remarkable in that each
little finger had but two phalanges
making them virtually thumbs that
could be used with another finger.
They were very short. The man was
also round shouldered and fiat footed
and his mentality was of a low order,
although he could read and write.

OIL TANK FIRE
MENACES TOWN
Twsnty-fOuT Dwellings Are De-
StTOyed at MeadOWIands, Pa.
LIGHTNING STARTS FLAMES
People Of Town Forced to Leave
When Other Tanks In Fire Zone Be.
come Hot Threatening to Explode


Meadowlands, Pa, June 23.-
Twenty-four dwellings we're burned
and 400 residents were driven from
their homes when a 30,000-barrel oil
tank was struck by lightning and
boiled over in the heart of the town.
An unidentified man was burned
badly, one boy is missing and another
lad, who was i'll in bed, died as a re-
suit of exposure. The missing boy is
son of Mike Cholack.
All business places here are closed
and everyone is ready to flee to the
hills in case other tanks ignite from
the one burning. Flames are spouting
seventy-fve feet above the burning
oil, and are within a few feet of an.
other 30,000-gallon tank filed with the
fluid.
Meadowlands is a mining village
five miles east of Washington. The
houses burned were the property OF
the Meadowlands Coal company. They
duJOlu lHe hlCu t1lll ulne.
Immediately after the tank began
to burn hundreds of workingmen were
brought here to dig trenches, so that
the oil could be drawn away from the
tank. In this manner 5000 barrels OF
petroleum were directed into the
creek. The oil on the water, however,
created a new menace to the town.
The creek passes through the viii
lage and under a railroad bridge. II
was feared that sparks from locomo'
tives might ignite the oil and wipe out
the town. Workingmen set to work at
once and the railroad bridge was GOV.
cred with sheet iron.
Superintendent McCue, in charge OF
the pump station here, put 100 men
directing water on nearby tanks.
There are about twenty-five of the big
oil receptacles within five or six acres.
The wind bore the flames dangerously
near other tanks. This was what
caused the blaze to spread, destroying
the twenty-four dwellings. Smoke fills
the sky and shuts out the sun for sew
eral miles around.
All possible precaution is being
taken to prevent residents from being
trapped in their homes in case an
other tank takes fire and boils over.
Excitement prevailed when the tank
containing the burning oil collapsed.
Oil flowed in every direction and the
flames licked up all that came within
reach.
w. II. Lehew, who came here from
Pittsburgh, is directing the work
being done by the railroad. All of the
fast trains are running through here
at a slow rate and guards are kept at
the railroad bridge to give alarm in
case the oil on the creek should ignite
The oil now burning will not die out
for two or three days, oil men say
and in this time other tanks close at
hand will become so hot that ii will
be little less than miracle If they do
not take fire.
"All we can do" said Mr.. McCue
sis to wait and see If other tanks
ignite. If they do everything will be
destroyed and the people will be
driven clear away from this vicinity"

BOMB EXPLOSION DENIED
Defect In Locomotive Causes Wreck
Ahead of Cars Train.


1t was officially stated in st. Peters.
burg that the wreck of the postal
train at Tschudnow, while preceding
the imperial train bearing the emperor
and the imperial family from Kishiney
to st. Petersburg, was due to a defect
in the locomotive and not to bomb
designated to blow up the czar and his
family.
The locomotive of the mail train as
well as three freight cars were thrown
off the tracks and three employees suf.
fered injuries. The report that the
accident was brought about by an at,
tempt on the members of the Russian
imperial family was officially declared
unfounded.
The emperor and his family on the
imperial train passed the scene of the
accident a few minutes later and ar.
rived at Tsarskoe-Selo without further
incident.

De R0THSCHILD BETTER
Five Bullets Fired Into Baron by Dis
qruntled Milk Dealer.

The condition of DR.. Henri De
Rothschild, as he prefers to be called,
although he is a baron of the Aus
trian empire, who was shot as he was
returning from gala performance at
the opera in Paris, is much improved.
Only one of the five bullets fired at
the doctor by Prudhen, the old milk
dealer, which took effect was extract
ed without any serious results. The
doctor has developed no fever and
hopes are entertained of his speedy
recovery.
Prudhen believed he had a griev-
ance against M. De Rothschild. He
says he lost $4,000 in the milk business
owing to the establishing of a dairy
by one of De Rothschild's hotels.

BLAST IN MINE
FATAL TO 189
Alberta COIIieTy Is Wrecked by
Terrific Explosion
WORKERS ENTOMBEO BY ROCK
or Fifty Miners Taken Out Alive
Thirty-six Die-Moans of Trapped
Men Heard by Force Of Rescuers.


An explosion of gas in the mine Of
the Hill Crest Galleries Ltd. at Hill
Crest, Alberta, Canada, entombed ESQ
men.
The explosion was terrific. t
wrecked small buildings in the
vicinity, taking the roofs off miners
cabins and filling the entrance to the
mine with debris.
The effects of the disaster were:
Number of rescued, SO, of whom sc
died later.
Miners bodies brought out, 1S1; be.
lieved only bodies now remain in
the mine.
Appeals for help were dispatched to
many towns and in the meantime resi-
dents organized an emergency crew
and began the work of rescue.
When the first rescue crew arrived
a large force of men set about TO
clear the shaft, working desperately
as the means of the entombed men
came feebly from the mine. The
means became fainter and finally
ceased. Thousands of tons OF rock
have fallen into the mine and it is
feared that the men, even had they
escaped death from the poisonous
fumes, probably were crushed to death
by the falling debris.
No information as to what caused
the explosion has been given, but it is
believed it was due to the forming of
gases.
Thomas Quigley, superintendent Of
the mine, is among those entombed.
Two trains filled with expert mine
workers, doctors, nurses and officials
of railways arrived at the scene and
the work of rescue was begun in a
systematic way. AS the experts en-.
tered the mine they found, jumbled in
a chaotic mass, horses, timbers
wagons and mining paraphernalia, in
dicating the force of the explosion.

VILLA PUSHES
ON zACATECAS
Second Rebel Attack Started
Against Huerta Stronghold
CARRANzA SPLIT PATCHED UP
Dictator Huerta Intends to Make Bat
tie at zaeatecas Decisive One and
Federal Force Has Been Reinforced.

Carranza supporters are satisfied
General Villa has been patched up
and that the two men are working
in common to drive the forces of Gen
eral Huerta back toward Mexico City.
Word that Villa had begun the sec
Ond attack on Zacatecas with General
! Natera, a Carranza man, cooperating,
was most convincing evidence that
the Constitutionalists of northern Mex.
leo are not disorganized by petty
factional quarrels.
While Zacatecas is not in any sense
strong strategical point for either
army to hold, Villa has already an
nounced his intention to sweep the
north and central portions of Mexico
free of federals in his march on the
capital.
1t is understood that Huerta plans
to make his most desperate resist
ance to Villas march toward Mexico
City at this point. Encouraged by the
first successful defense of the city
Huerta has added to his military force
there and, according to unofficial ad-
vices received here, is confident Ct
checking the successful march of the
rebels toward Mexico City and pro-
longing his tenure.
Reinforcements are being held In
readiness at Mexico City to rush to
the aid of the federals if necessary.
Wilson Set on Naming Rebel.
In reply to the note given out by
the Mexican delegates to the media
tion conference the American repre-
sentatives made public long state
ment giving their reasons for support
ing a Constitutionalist for provisional
president and opposing a neutral as
advanced by the Huerta ENJOYS.
According to the belief in Washing
ton there can be no hope for peace
now unless a Constitutionalist or
man acceptable to the Constitutional
lists be made president until elections
can be held. In this contention the
United States will not yield an inch.
The Wilson plan as outlined by
Justice Lamar and Mr.. Lehman is
that the elections to be held in Mex.
leo be supervised by representatives
of both parties. The delegates promise
