Hot on Atlantic Coast.

Washington, une 12.-The terrific
heat wave that has caused many
deaths and intense suffering crowd
ed centers of the central va since
the first of the week has spread to
the East. In Portland, Me-, the Off
cial temperature reached maximum
of 80 degrees; Boston sweltered with
the mercury at 8S, and Washington
and New York had temperatures of
80 and 80. In most of the eastern
cities the heat wave was accompanied
by depressing humidity.
There is small chance of immediate
relief, weather bureau officials say.
A few places in the Central West
temporarily were relieved by thunder
showers or cooling lake breezes.
At Chicago the maximum on the
street was 88 degrees. The relief
came too late, however, for some OF
the sufferers, and twelve additional
deaths directly or Indirectly due to
heat were reported to the police.
, Columbus, Ga, reported the highest
temperature in the South, the mer-
curry there rising to 100 degrees.
Drouth conditions have prevailed over
Georgia since April 20.
The highest mark of the summer
was equaled at st. Louis when the
government thermometer registered
SO degrees. Ten cases of heat pros
trations had been reported, with no
deaths.
In Kansas City, with the thermome-
ter at SO, two prostrations were re-
ported.

Paris, June 12.-Premier Ribot and
his newly selected cabinet resigned to-
day. He cnly took office this week
and completed the cabinet Wednes-
day. He appeared with his colleagues
in the chamber of deputies for the
first time today. The vote which over
threw him was the first vote since
his elevation to the premiership. The
vote followed addresses by ministers
and premier, stating the administra-
ton attitude and supporting the pro-
posed three-year military service bill.
When their friends moved a vote of
confidence in the administration the
vote was adverse. This leaves Presi-
dent Poincare in dilemma.
Minister of Finance Peytral made
the first address, saying that one of
his first asks would be to ask the
chambers authorization of a $1S0,000,-
0O0H31a per cent loan, payable in 25
years, for extraordinary army and
navy requirements.
Ribot followed, making the keynote
of his speech the support of the mill
tary service bill.
The vote followed, leaving no option
but to resign.
What Poincare will do to escape his
dilemma no one knows.
Russia, which is allied with France
and England, has strongly represent
ed to France the desirability of the
three-year military service bill if the
alliance is not to be weakened. To-
days vote is in direct disregard OF
Russie's wishes.

IN MEXICO
REGARDED AS INEVITABLE

Vera Cruz, June 12.-Whatever the
elimination of meaiation proceedings
and establishment of new govern
ment in Mexico, intervention by the
United States will still remain inevi-
table.
Zapata, in a declaration forwarded
here today from Cuernavaca, reply
ing to questions put to him by mes
senger, refuses to acknowledge the
result of the negotiations. In word
he holds that the mediation proceed
ings which recognize one revolution
ary faction and the dictator, meaning
Huerta, without the assembling of all
revolutionary causes is not true me-
diation. Zapata denies allegiance to
Carranza and declares that unless the
proposed new government is particu-
larly to his liking the revolution will
continue, even against the American
troops. The strength of the forces un-
der Zapata have been sadly underes-
timated, he says, and the loyalty OF
his force is greater and their equip
ment better than we conceive.
"Zapata the bandit they have called
me, Zapata the bandit | shall remain
in the face of all the powers on earth
until Justice has been done my peo-
ple. until the peon is lord" said the
Morelos chieftain.
Zapata was not summoned to oc-
cupy place at the mediators table
Zapata and the southern lesser chiefs
who espouse his cause will not accept
any government forced upon him. Ia,
pata's strength is given at 10000 men
distributed in the so-called fedora
states of Morelos, Puebla and Mex.
/ leo, and this estimate is conservative
Madero's rebellion was started witt
far less force, as was Orozco's, ant
the Carranza revolutions, to say
nothing of the handful of men whC
supported Feliz Diaz and founded tho
Huerta government
Zapata's threats may be taker
! lightly only on the condition tina
armed forces of the United State:
4 lend material support to the proposed
government. Then only can he b;
eradicated, for, as the history of the
last four years demonstrates, Mexi
cans have not yet tired of civil strife
The newest banner opposing the gov
ernment is the banner to which th'
poems flock.
An unconfirmed report reached herr
today from the capital to the effec
that Huerta's resignation is in tn
keeping of the British minister. TIL
report is generally discredited. Re
port, however, has it that revolution
lists numbering between 1000 an
5000 are preparing to attack Olapa
and that they are but forty miles dis
tant.
Huerta's resignation is declared t
: have been signed in the Villa d
Guadalupe, where the peace of AT wa

Favorable Indications.

An engineer who returned from the
Volcano Lake levee today and did not
wish to be quoted personally informs
the Press that when he left the levee
at 7 this morning the water behind
the levee had fallen from eight to
ten inches, while the water behind the
leyee was quite clear, indicating that
it was standing water, without cur
rent. These facts he considered fa-
voraDle to closing the break.
Mr.. Perry was at that time on the
job with good force of men, and the
pile driver was on the way from the
railroad and is probably at the levee
today.
The clearness Of the water, indicat-
ing absence of current behind the
levee, is also favorable to the break
being closed by the falling of the flood,
though this is only matter of con-
lecture, on which it is not safe to
rely.

Niagara Falls, June 12.-Important

highly optimistic and the Mexicans
less sanguine of success. It is un-

reached for the establishment of pro

succeed Huerta. There is no ques-

will not accept any plans without Car

lily stood with no roof over our heads
but the sky. 1 was about years old.
l was the oldest and though l now

boy wanted at Turkish bath house.
l applied for the Job, and was select
ed out of $50 boys. l worked there
and learned the business. Later L
went into that business myself-the
only one had chance to learn.
After their long hours of work
some of the newspaper men came to
my place for a Turkish bath. They
came to know me and they called me
Bath House john"
Perhaps YOU hadn't heard this
simple little story before Possibly,
after what you had read in the news
papers, it had never occurred to you
that John Coughlin wasn't actually
bath house, but human being-a
man who was once boy.
How many of the big business men
of today went to work at years of
age to help support the family?
That's all l know of Coughlin. 1
don't bother much about what read

even if all that is said is true, this

By the way, did YOU ever figure
