SEATTLE DRUNK
 KILLS TWO MEN
All Confined in One Sound Proof Receiving ceII-kicked Victims
 to Death.

SEATTLE, June 23.-Arthur R. Johnson, a butcher, and Perley Glines, bookkeeper, are dead and two others seriously injured because the police put Nicholas Marcott, laborer, into the same cell with the men and Marcott ran afnuck, over towering the others, who were all drunk and had been placed in the receiving cell to sober up. The dead and injured were lying on the floor sleeping of the effects of too much barley corn and Marcott, with his heavy boots, went from man to man, and kicked them in the head, killing two and injuring two others.
 The keeper claims that he heard no outcry from the men, which, he admits, would have to be exception ally loud because the cell is made sound proof so that the "jags" may sober up without disturbing the rest of the prisoners. Marcott was placed in the cell at 4:1o p. m. yesterday and the door was opened again at 4:35, when another prisoner was brought in.

MINIMUM WAGES
 BOSTON GIRLS
Brush Workers Must Be Paid $671 Week According to New
 Law Enacted.

BOSTON, June 23-A minimum wage of $S.71 per week has been de- c'ded upon by the State Industrial Commission as the lowest wages to be paid to the women working in the brush industry. It is hoped by this means to help the women and pre- vent them from going wrong.
 Strong opposition has been made to the application of a minimum wage by many manufacturers and also by reformers. who claim that the min imum wage and crime have no con nection and that more girls will be driven from their position by the op- eration of the new law than will be aided as those who cannot earn the minimum will be put out of posi- tions and are almost certain to drift into the life that is easy.

 After yesterdays second confer ence, the American delegates sent to the State Department an account of what had taken place, and asked for additional instructions based up on the views expressed by the medi- ators concerning the probable atti- 'tude of the Mexican delegates to- ward the selection of a foremost con- stitutionalist leader as provisional president. The mediators took the position that it was not for them to suggest names or to decide who should be chosen as Gen. Huerta's successor. These are matters which, in their opinion, must be initiated and determined by agreement between the two sets of delegates. But it is gathered that they felt certain that n ither the Mexican delegates nor Gen. Huerta would consent to an ar rangement whereby Huerta should

 SHORT HAUL CASE
Supreme Court Decides That High
 Rate for Inland Cities Does - Not Go.

WASHINGTON, June 23.-The Un- ited States supreme court today. up held the Interstate Commerce Com mission, which lowered the rates on freight hauled by the railroads from Eastern points to Spokane in order that the rate to Spokane might not be higher than that Portland. Ia coma or Seattle.
 The railroads argued that they were forced to give cheap rates to coast cities because of the competition with the steamship lines and that the rate to Spokane was based upon rates to the coast and the return haul to the inland city, although the freightnev- CT went past Spokane. They based the charge on what they styled a terminal rate. ..- .-
 The court held that the rate to Spokane must not exceed that to Se- attle and hat Spokane was entitled to the benefit of the competition of the steamship lines.

 Apparently the Mexican delegates were of the opinion that a basis for an understanding had been reached that the new provisional president should not be one of the notable lead CTS of the revolutionary movement. They have so far modified their po- sition, however, as to be willing to consent to the selection of a prorni- nent Mexican of constitutionalist sympathies, although not actively identified with the effort to overthrow Huerta. This is in direct opposition to the desire of the United States government, disclosed yesterday by the American delegates, that an out and-out revolutionist be chosen in order to satisfy the constitutionalists and bring them to consent to any agreement reached a Niagara Falls.

TRENCH ATTEMPTING
 NEW LINE OF ATTACK

Paris, Oct. 23.-French gunners to- day destroyed three German batteries in an artillery engagement of huge proportions north of the Aisne.
 The battle has been in progress for two days but until the war office at Bordeaux issued this statement of sue cess at midnight nothing was permit ted to be published concerning it. Neither the exact location of the battle is mentioned even now.
 However, it is permissible to state that this furious assault for the reduc- tion of the German fortified position at this point marked the opening of new line of attack upon the invad- ers' front.
 The object is to cut through what is now the right center of the German line with the ultimate object of driv- ing wedge behind the army of Gen. eral von Kluck. enveloping him from the south and turning his left flank commanded by von Boehme, back up on the rear of von Kluck's main posi- tion in front of Rove.
 This movement has now been made possible by the weakening of the Ger man center positions, both by losses incident to attacks and the withdrawal of troops to strengthen the line as it was extended north to meet the ad- vance of the allies.
 Meanwhile. the battles to the north particularly between LeBasse and tho sea. and to the east between the Mouse and the region about St. Mihie l and about Verdun are being pressed with undiminished energy.
 Carnage Fri"htful.
 The ferocity of the encounters where the British and French have come in contact with the invaders incident to the allied armies advance upon Lillie are unparalleled in tho history of war. The carnage has been frightful and the troops on botf sides are on the point of demoraliza ton because of physical exhaustion and the rigor of the campaign in in element weather.
