STRIKERS
In Russia to the Number of
100000 Are on the War
Path Now.
q. Assee,.rsp rarss,

ST. PETERSBURG, Russia, July
21.-Serious strike disturbances
broke out today here where 100000
workers have laid down their tools as
protest against the drastic measures
of the authorities at Baku and else
where against demonstrating strik-
ers.
The cossacks In the capital were
modelled in the viborg quarters to
dispense the strikers, who INDUCED in
much stone throwing and also fred
some revolver shots.
The troops succeeded in clearing
the streets without resort to bullets
as couple of rounds of blank cart
ridges proved sufficient.
Several of the strikers were hurt
during the disorder but the casualty
list was small.
Late in the morning the strikers
made raid on the street cars, driv-
ing out their occupants.
The strikers appeared to be in an
ugly mood, disregarding the orders
of the police to dispense.

PARTY LOVE FEAST
COMING THURSDA Y
AT Parkersburg When Con-
gresham Hunter Moss Will
Be Renominated.
lCharIes BROOKS smith.l

WASHINGTON, D. c., July Ell
Two congressional districts in West
Virginia are yet to place their Repub-
lican candidates in the field. They
are the First and the Second. On
Thursday at Parkersburg, the renom-
ination of Judge Moss, who was un-
opposed in the primary, will be rati-
fed by convention as matter of re-
CURED legal form. That meeting
will be party love feast with Judge
Moss and Representative Miller, Of
Minnesota, supplying the feast. It
will be gala speech-making occasion
for both Moss and the Minnesotian
are brilliant and eloquent orators.
But what will be the outcome In
the First and Second districts is still
misty matter of more or less doubt.
However, by the end of the week sem
timent In those two balliwicks Is like
ly to shape up in such 8 tangible form
that It will not be unsafe to hazard
an eleventh hour prediction.
AS to the Second, reliable informa-
ton was brought here today that Col.
George NJ. Bowers, Of Martinsburg,
has decided not to pursue the nomi-
nation further. He has never been
an avowed candidate, but was inter-
ested. II this information is as cor
rect as It seems. this decision on Col.
Bowers's part leaves the way clear
for Taylor George, L. j. Forman, Ellis
Yost, and others, II there are any 9TH
ers. who have been feeling the lure
Of the ianguid droning OF the little
bee. None of them desires to be
classed as overriding the thing as a
candidate and assume the praise
worthy attitude Of desiring the nomi-
nation only II the convention thinks
he Is the particular man whose ser
vices the party must have to win this
year. AS the situation presents itself
to the politicians in the Second, with
Bowers taking himself out Of con-
sideratlon, the sentiment is stronger
for the nomination Of Speaker George
than anybody else.
SAs to the First district, there are
persistent rumors here connecting the
name Of Judge John w. Mason with
fha nomination. The story goes that
Judfe Mason Is being ,importuned,
but. At the same time while believing
that. the politicians here do not be-
fc6ftinned On page three.l

Motto Wreak Vengeance on the
Lives and Property of Those
Who Supported Huerta.
OR RESISTANCE WILL Be.
Made by the New President of
Mexico against Invasion of
Mexico City by Them.
,sY.assee,a.sp ..rsr.

I; WASHINGTON, July 2f.-Provis-
-ional President Carbajal does not in
tend to surrender Internationally to
General Carraaza and Will concen-
trate his military forces and resist an
invasion rather ttan permit the Con-
stitutionalists to enter Mexico City
without previous agreement not to
wreak vengeance on the lives and
property OF those, who supported
Huerta. This was the tenure of in
formation from authoritative sources
today in Mexico City to Washington
diplomats. 1t spread feeling of
pessimism in some quarters over the
possibility Of an amicable settlement
of the revolution.
Emilio Rabasa, head of the delega-
ton which represented Huerta at the
Niagara conference, arrived here to-
day and discussed the situation first
with the South American med,ators
and then. at the Mexican embassy with
Jose Pasce1ot, personal representative
Of Carbajal.
Another aspect Of the situation
which was commenced upon was the
knowledge that Carranza, while in
forming the American consuls at Mon
terey that he would receive com
mission from Carbajal, made 1t plain
that he would do so only to arrange
for the unconditional surrender by the
Mexico City authorities. Diplomats
were watching with keen interest the
report stating that General Villa was
again threatening break with Car
rama. The death Of two French
clergymen and the Imprisonment Of
eleven others is giving the French
government much concern.

alphabetically treated. The stem
ographic report of her testimony filed
sixteen columns in some of the news
papers and besides this there were
many statements of her dexterous ar
rangements Of facts.
After Judge Albanel and his assoc
iates had taken their places on the
bench, Mme Caillaux entered the pris-
oner's enclosure with an air Of making
herself at home. Her husband then
entered the court and took his place
among the witnesses. He was accom-
panied by two detectives owing to the
fact that group of bystanders had
hooted him as he left the prison after
visiting his wife.
Two Office boys from the Figaro
were the first witnesses today. They
described the arrival at the Offices Of
the Figaro on the day of the crime of
Nine. Caillaux. They told how she
waited and gave details of her en-
trance into the room occupied by Gas
ton Calmette and Of their hearing the
shots. One Of the boys, Adrien Meet,
crouched down on the witness stand
and uttered series OF low cries to
show how he found Calmette shelter
ing himself behind his desk.

members Of the stan of the Figaro
then testified. among them Luis

tion of the scene when Caimette was
shot, He said he heard shots and
ran to Calmette's room, where CAL
mette had sunk in a state OF col.

said the witness, and she stood near
the door. clear-eyed with her face
neither pale nor flushed. She seemed
untroubled by the fifteen editors,
who quickly gathered around her.
"She began to speak" said the wit
ness, saying since there is no JUS
tice in France
Shut your mouth said one Of
the editors. After what you have
done keep quiet (
4 am not speaking to you,' said
Nine. Caillaux."
At 4:30 o'clock the court took re-
cess. Nine. Caillaux took frequent
notes of the testimony during the day,
writing on pad placed upon her knee
and she accumulated quito large
portfolio. So.
