PASSENGERS REMOVED
from VESSEL
Liner California Ashore on Tory
Island, in Dangerous Position.

Londonderry, June 30.-Three
hundred and forty-eight of the l.
O16 passengers of the Anchor line
steamer California, ashore on Tory
island, were landed here yesterday.
The others were taken to Glasgow.
In thick fog the California ran
on the rocks Sunday night while
bound from New York for Glasgow.
According to the passengers there
was no panic. The sea was calm and
the vessel apparently was moving
less than seven knots an hour.
The shock was slight, but the sud-
den stoppage of the California caus-
ed some commotion. The captain
and officers speedily restored conf
dence and as precautionary meas
ure the boats were swung out. They
were not lowered, however.
About 1 o'clock yesterday morn
ing the searchlight of British de-
stroyer, summoned by wireless, pen
etrated the mist. The California
had been left almost high and dry
by the receding tide. At low tide
the islanders were able to get close
to the bow of the vessel.
The California is in a dangerous
position on the rocks. It's crew re-
mains aboard and it is hoped that
it can be relocated.

partially due to the revolt of 5000
federal soldiers under the command
of Gen. Medina Barron. These men
are said to have fred on their own
comrades.
The situation at the front is de-
clared SO desperate that General
Huerta is said to have ordered Gen.
Joaquin Mas, who is son of his
brother-in-law, to remain in the cap
ital instead of returning to take the
command at Queretaro, where eff
forts are being made to face the adj
vance of General Villas army.
Two regiments of Federals were
sent to Queretaro from the capital
on Saturday. Those who saw them
passing through the streets assert
the ranks were filled with boys and
soldiers taken from the hospitals be-
fore their wounds were half healed.
Conditions among the population

refugees to be ominously quiet. The
disintegration of the federal army
has become widely known, and the
feeling among British residents is sc
strong that Huerta will be unable
to hold off the constitutionalists and
retain control of the capital lone
enough to prevent the humiliation
of his forcible removal from office
that the British colony is preparing
to defend itself during the days OF
expected turmoil in Mexico City.
The refugees say other foreign
colonies in the capital are taking
similar precautions.

IS GIVEN TEST
Transatlantic Flyer Carries Ten
Passengers.

Hammondsport, n. Y, June 30
America, the Rodman Wanamaker
transatlantic flyer, rose from the
water last night with ten passen-
gers, establishing another weight
carrying record for hydro-aero-
planes.
The flight was not an extended
one-in fact it was not intended by
Lieutenant Porte, who had invited
the special correspondents of the
New York, Boston and London
dailies to take taxi ride" on the
water.
While planning along at flying
speed the America struck a swell,
which bounced her into the air for
the better part of 100 yards. Lieu
tenant Porte said he could have
flown at any time, but had no in
tention of doing so with any such
cargo.
Weather conditions continued
most discouraging, thirty mile
wind and intermittent showers pre-
vailing all day Glenn Curtiss would
not have permitted the America to
leave the shore last night but for
his anxiety to test out the new ny
dro boards. After waiting all day
he declared for a run last evening,
rain, shine or cyclone.
"The useful load carried last
night was more than LOO pounds,
or about 800 more than previously
carried. Porte started out with a
useful load of ton, but after a
short run he put off one passenger
who weighed more than 200 pounds.

BUSY YEAR IN
AAMEEk VILLAGE
Level Of Several Streets VIII Be
Raised This Summer

Plans are being considered by the
Ahmeek council which will make this
a busy year i'm that energetic little mu-
nicipahty. The principal projects To
be taken up are the raising of the level
of the streets i'm the north end of the
village. especially Hubbell avenue and
the further beautifying of the village
park. Because of the recent strike,
which has brought some hardship up
on residents of the village, II is un-
likely the plans for installing a mod
ern water system. which was consid-
cred last year, viii be taken up.
Ii has been found that the level of
the streets i'm the north end of the
village is so low that frequently in
the spring they are covered with sur
so much so that the Venetian gondola
would prove a very useful adjunct TO
travel. Now the council plans to ill
in these low streets, establish a crown
in the roadway which will facilitate
the draining OF the streets and pos
sibly 10y a thin wearing surface of ma
cadam.
additional shade trees will be plant
ed in the village park and further steps
will be taken to beautify that pleasure
spot.
The search for an adequate water
supply which may be piped to the
village probably will be resumed next
year.

gagged directly or indirectly in Soc 81
and community up-lift. among them
the Associated Charities Playground

fraternal, church and other charitable
and semi charitable ORGANIZATIONS "as

ans club an open meeting, in charge
of the civic committee. The suggestion
that steps be taken to bring about
meeting of representatives of thee
various organizations to the end tha'
they may systematic their W'Ik
avoid duplication and work together IN
every possible manner probably VIII
be acted upon shortly. 1t is the thought
OF those who broached the project, that
get together" meetings of this nature,
held at intervals of about one month
would lead To much good, closer ar
fliation and better understanding by
workers i'm all of these movements of
the needs of aims of each.

BEGIN SCHOOL CENSUS.
Enumerators to Make Annual Canvass
in Calumet Township.

in Calumet Township.
The taking of the annual school GEN.
sus of District No. of Calumet town
ship will be commenced next week
under the direction of Josiah Penber-
thy assisted by Norman Johnson.
These enumerators will call on each
family i'm the district between now
and June /, and ask that residents
be prepared to give the names, ages
and birthdays of all their children who
are between the ages of five and twen-
ty years. The age of the child on
his last birthday prior to June | is
desired. BY having this information
at hand, the enumerators will be
greatly assisted.
Last year there were 1884 children
of school age in District No. 1 of
Calumet township. an increase of
about so over the total of the proceed
ing year. 1t is difficult To estimate
whether an increase or decrease will
be shown this year because of the
great number of residents who have
left the district and the great num-
Der of new arrivals. 1t is rather to be
expected that slight decrease will be
noted for the present school enroll
ment is slightly larger than one year
ago.
In District No. 2.
At the next regular meeting the
board of education for school District
No. will appoint an enumerator for
the school census i'm that district.
