Skowhegan, Me, June 22.-(SpeciaD
The Republican campaign will start
in this county this week and the first
big meeting will be held at Lakewood
Saturday, when It is expected that the
speakers will be Gov. W. T. Haines,
Col F. H. Parkhurst. Congressman
John A. Peters and others. The spirit
that the Republicans are to be big
winners this fall seems to be with ev-
erybody. The travelling men come
here from various parts of the State
and declare that Haines will be re-
elected by. a very large plurality. Even
the Democrats say that they are
afraid that this is so. A prominent
Democrat of this town stated, Satur-
day, to the writer and he had told 1t
to others, that he looks for only one
Democrat on the Democratic ticket In
the county to win. This same man
at n recent Democratic caucus told
the Democrats that they need not feel
highly encouraged with their outlook,
as there would be more Republicans
pop up this fall at the polls than they
were looking for. There appears to be
a good reason for the Democrats feel

Will Continue Suit

Government officials after the de-
cision stated they would continue OF
press the suit. Since the government
began TO grant lands to transconti-
mental railroads in 1866, every patent
issued to the roads has contained a
reservation to the effect that lands
in the patent found later to be min
eral lands should not pass to the rail-
roads. Such a reservation was con-
tanned in the patents issued to the
Southern Pacific for California lands
in later years found to be rich with
gushing oil wells. Burke claimed the
land did not pass to the railroad and
sought to enter it as mineral lands.
The court held that the land office
officials could not perform their duty.
imposed upon them by Congress of
not patenting mineral lands, by mere
ly inserting the reservation.

NO INJUNCTION
ON CUBAN SUGAR
ISSUED BY COURT
Louisiana Loses Her Suit
Against Granting of
Differential

Washington, June 22.-The supreme
court today declined to issue an in
junction restraining the treasury de-
partment from granting the Cuban
sugar, the 20 per cent. differential
provided by treaty in addition to the
new reduced rates of the tariff law.
The merits of the case, brought by the
state of Louisiana, were not passed
upon. however, and action in the Gus
toms court was not precluded by the
decision. Louisiana, as planter of
sugar cane on its convict farm. sought
the injunction. The states attorney
contended that the 25 per cent. reduc-
ton in sugar rates which became ef-
fective in March under the Under
wood law. wiped out the differential.
Attorney General McReynolds advised
Secretary McAdoo that the differen-
tial provided by the Cuban reciprocity
still prevailed despite the reduction.
The supreme court did not pass upon
that, but declined the injunction on
the ground that the power of the sec
rotary of the treasury was discretion
airy and that it would .aot instruct
him how to proceed

Huerta Delegates Agree

The South American ENJOYS dis
cussed it briefly with the American
delees today and later had a confer
ence with the Huerta delegates, who
were formally asked If they would
meet Constitutionalist representatives.
The Huerta delegates replied that
they were willing TO enter any confer
ence with theii. countrymen which had
for its object the prevention of blood
shed and the destruction of property
and which sought to establish ma
tional government on firm basis.
The conversation between the media
tors and the Huerta delegates then
turned to such international questions
as could be advanced in the absence
of Constitutionalists. particularly the
conditions under which American
forces will be withdrown from Vera
Cruz.
The plan which the medators have
worked out is to confine the formal
mediation conferences to a conSidera
ton of international questions, treat
ing with the Huerta and American
delegates on these points. With the
Constitutionalist and Huerta delegates
discussing names for the provisional
Presidency and kindred internal ques-
lions the mediators and American del
egates would await the outcome of
their efforts before signing final pro-
tocol.

Niagara Falls, Ont, June %
Through the invitation of the United
States government and the good offices
of the three South American media
tors, representatives of the two war
ring factions in Mexico-the Consti-
tuticnalists and the Huerta govern
ment-soon will be brought face to
face in an informal conference, distinct
from the mediation proceeding. To
save Mexico from further spoilation
and the possibility of foreign war,
the Constitutionalists apparently have
been prevailed upon to meet their
countrymen in a peace conference
whose object shall be the ending of
the civil strife which has divided Mex
leo. Final word on details has not
come from Carranza, but it is the ex-
pectation tonight that on tomorrow
they will be able to announce not only
the personnel of the Constitutionalist
delegation, but the place of the meet
ing The new plan has buoyed the
hopes Of the principals to mediation.

VICTIMS OF MINE
DISASTER PROBABLY
BURIED UNDER ROCK

Hillcrest. Alberta. June 22.-Govern-
ment mine experts. who continued to-
day the search for the dead in Mine
No. 20, Hillcrest Galleries. Ltd, which
was wrecked by an explosion entomb-
ing 1876 miners last Friday, said it
was probable that the 104 victims still
in the mine were buried beneath tons
of rock more than 1000 feet from the
mouth of the pit, and that some of
the bodies never would be recovered.
The majority of the 81 bodies recov-
cred up to early today were burned
beyond recognition. The generally ac-
cepted theory is that the disaster was
due to an, explosion OF gas which had
accumulated in the lower levels.

VICTORY FOR ORGANIZED BALL
won BY FEDERAL JUDGES DECISION
Grants Temporary Injunction Restraining Armando From Play
ing With the ST. Louis Club of Federal League
Cincinnati Club Plaintiff

ST. Paul, June 22.-Organized base
ball won another victory tonight when
Federal Judge w. H. Sanborn granted
temporary injunction restraining
Armando Marsans, former Cuban left
fielder of the Cincinnati Nationals,
from playing with the St. Louis Club
of the Federal League or any other
ball club except Cincinnati, until the
alleged breach of contract he is charg-
ed with has been tried in the United
States district court in st. Louis.
While the action is pending, Judge
Sanborn ordered the Cincinnati En-
hibition Co., owners of the club, to
give a bond of $4,000 to indemnify
Marsans for any possible loss he might
sustain as a result of the Injunction.
The validity of the Today clause in
organized baseball contracts was up
held by Judge Sanborn. He based his
decision on the fact that Marsans &C.
copied a contract in writing in which
the Cincinnati Club agreed to employ
him for specified period at a fixed
compensation on condition that the
club should have the right to discharge
him on 10 days notice. The contract
was valid and binding after Marsans
entered upon the performance of the
contract and received the compensa-
ton according to the terms, of agree
ment, the court held. The court held
also that Marsans' ability as a base
bail player was extraordinary and
that it was impossible for the Cincin-
natl club to replace him with another
player equally as good.
That he was not an exceptional ball
player was the statement made in an
