ARMY HEADS DEFY
KING OF ENGLAND
Generals Remain Firm on Resigna-
tions After Cabinet Conference
Premier Gives New Order.

London, March 30-In spite of the
efforts of the king and the cabinet
ministers to induce Field Marshal Sir
John French and Adjt. Gen. Sir John
EWart to retain their posts as the
working heads of the British army,
the two army officers stood firmly to
their designations.
After a long cabinet meeting Pre-
mier AsQuith announced to the excited
house of commons that neither the
chief Of the general staff nor the adj
jutant general would give way. He
announced the issue Of a new army or
der intended to prescribe the duties
both of the war office and of officers
on service in contingencies such as
that of Ulster.
The order forbids superiors asking
officers and soldiers what they will do
in hypothetical contingencies and is
designed to prevent a. repetition of
Gen. Sir Arthur Paget's action.
1t also prohibits officers and SOL
diers from asking for assurances, and
sets forth the duties of the army al
most in the words of the statement
which, when Colonel SeeIy's amend
ments had been added, became the
crux of the whole controversy.
The inclusion of soldiers with off,
GERS in the terms of the order is the
result of the attitude taken by the la
Dor members in the debates and is in
tended &C q pOmOrOp1iSa
The political situation appears to
be unchanged.

OHIO MINES CLOSE IN APRIL
$4,000 Out of Work Until Wage Con-
tract Is Made-NeW State Law
Held Unjust

Cleveland, o., March 31.--All coal
mines in Ohio will shut down in April
and will remain closed until a wage
contract can be made with the miners
and the mine run payment basis re-
moved, c. E. Maurer, president of the
Ohio coal operators, announced here
on Saturday. Approximately $4,000
men will be affected by the shutdown,
which, President Maurer says, is
matter of self-protection for the OPP
orators in view of the contract made
between mine workers and mine own
ers in the competitive states, Penn
sylvania and Indiana, at Chicago re-
Gently. He says that the passage of a
law by the last Ohio legislature call
ing for the payment of miners on the
mine run basis places Ohio operators
at a competitive disadvantage with op-
orators in the states where the lump
payment continues.

and battle for possession of the rail-
road shops was being carried on. The
city was reported on fire in several
places, but as the buildings were most
ly of adobes there was no fear of
confagration. A second telegram
from Villa amended the first to show
that the federals were concentrated
in their last defense in the western
portion of Torreon. Newspaper dis
patches arrived with news of the &C.
cupation of Lerdo and Gomez Palacio

Torreon. Villa was said to be prepar-

of Gomez Palacio. Rifles, machettes,
pistols and hand grenades were used
in a hundred different encounters in
the narrow thoroughfares. The gren-
AIDES, Of home manufacture, were light

Physicians Believe She Never Will Be-
come Adapted to Colorado.
Denver, Colo, March 27.-Mrs. Ben
B. Lindsey, wife of Denver's juvenile
court judge, must leave Denver. This
was the decree of her physicians.
Mrs. Lindsey has been under medi-

as bride of the judge.
The physicians have prescribed that
she must go to the Pacific coast. I'm
less there is decided change for the
better in her condition, Judge Lindsey
will start next Wednesday with her
for San Francisco.
The most disturbing feature of the
diagnosis is that the physicians doubt
if her condition will ever become
adapted to the altitude of Denver.

EASTERN ROADS DROP

Drastic Retrenchment Begun by Prin-

the Cause.

New York, March 28-Adverse
state legislation, general uncertainty,
and business construction have COM
PEELED the important railroads of the
eastern part of the United States to
adopt a drastic policy Of retrench-
ment.
AS a consequence, on such great
lines as the Pennsylvania, the New
York Central, the New York, New
Haven & Hartford, the Central Rail-
road of New Jersey, the Lehigh Val
ley and others thousands of men have
been laid off in every department;
more thousands of maintenance men.
operating men and men in all other
departments have been put on part
time.
Through trains and local trains have
been eliminated from schedules and
freight trains by the score.
The effect of this has been notice
able also by the car equipment and
all other companies, the prosperity OF
which depends upon the railroads.
The car companies, it was said, have
either laid off or are working 70 per
cent of their men on part time. The
rail manufacturers are in a similar
predicament.
The situation has not developed sud
denly, it was said, but has been devel-
oping for months. If anything, it is
little brighter now than it was two
or three months ago.
The causes are manifold. There
is a falling off in business in the first
place, and in the second, adverse leg
islation in various states has so in
creased operating expenses that for
mer conditions cannot be maintained.
One illustration given was that pas
senger agents reported the Florida

Burning of Home Follows Dynamite.
Green Bay-Closely following an at
tempt to destroy a creamery he was
building in Hollandtown, the home of
Eugene Maluej was destroyed by fire.
The fire is thought to have been set
by some of the residents in that vi

a new creamery in the district. Mrs.
Maluej and Hugh Finnegan had mar
row escapes from the fire, being
forced to jump from window on to
a burning porch. Two weeks ago
dynamite was placed in the chimney
of new Red Glover cooperative
creamery and much damage was done.
This creamery was being built by
Maluej. The county authorities are
investigating and the state fire mar
shaPs office will send man to the

right to Iegislate but the minority has
the right to be heard and propose rea-

first clause of the rule, that the debate
be taken up and carried forward with

amendment which will put it into the
hands of the gentleman from Georgia
(Mr. Adamson) to move at any time to
cut off debate, and if he has the ma

be able to bring the debate to a close"
