of them believe the board should BIZ
allowed to censor plays and all thea
trical presentations as we'll as art ex
hibitions, and be given the power to
stop summary the presentation or ex
hfbition of such things as they deem
to be against good morals.
The question of finance is an i'm
portant one in connection with the
censor body. The supervisors say
they .wonder who is going to put up
the money for the board, whether
charitable organizations or the city
and county. In. this connection the
practice in mainland cities may be
followed, if possible.

ASKS PEACE IN COLORADO
Wilson informs Gov. Ammons United
States Troops Cannot Be
Used Indefinitely.

Denver, Colo, May 19.-President
Wilson served warning on Governor
Ammons on Saturday that the state of
Colorado must be prepared to main
tain peace in the coal mine strike dis.
tricts without federal aid The presi-
dent said federal troops would remain
in the troubled districts only until
the state of Colorado has time and OBJ
portunity to resume complete SOW
ereignty and control"
Il cannot conceive that the state is
willing to forego her sovereignty or
to throw herself entirely upon the
government of the United States
said President Wilson.
In response, Governor Ammons tele-
graphed the president pointing out
that an extra session of the legisla-
ture. which adjourned on Saturday.
has provided 100000 bond issue to
cover past and future expenses of the
state militia. The governor expressed
confidence that as soon as these funds
are available the state will be able to
control the situation.

FOREST FIRES SWEEP TOWNS
Great Damage by Flames in Upper
Michigan Observation-Disclosures
Flee Into River.

Escanaba Mich, May 19.--Forest
fires raging throughout the upper pen
insula of Michigan already have done
damage estimated at 100000 and I'M
less rain comes soon the damage will
be incalculable. The villages of AL
fred and Larch, near Escanaba, have
been entirely destroyed, lumber mill
at Thompson was destroyed, and
twelve lumber camps near Maple were
burned. Over a million feet of logs
was destroyed when the village of AL
fred burned and much lumber was
burned at Larch. The town of Lath-
rop is entirely surrounded by fire and
the inhabitants, together with many
men, rushed from Escanaba, are fight
ing to save the place. Lathrop has
500 population.
The inhabitants of Alfred saved
nothing. So rapidly did the flames
spread that men, women and children
were forced into the Escanaba river
and remained in the water until the
flames passed on. At times they were
forced to submerge their heads in or
der to prevent being roasted.

PARDoNs THEIR ONLY HOPE.
Steel Workers Directed to Surrender

Appeals of Three Fought.

Chicago, May 19-Frank M. Ryan,
president of the international Associa-
ton of Bridge and Structural Iron
Workers, and 10 other members of the
organization must report June to re-
sumo the serving Of their sentences IN
Leavenworth penitentiary for con-
spiracy to transport dynamite on pas
senger trains. The explosive was used
to wreck bridges and buildings erected
by nonunion labor.
The United States circuit court OF
appeals issued a mandate on Saturday
that the serving OF sentences must be
resumed within three weeks for all but
six of the thirty members OF the asso-
citation originally sentenced.
The government opposed retrial of
Richard H. Houlihan of Chicago, Will
lam Bernhard of Cincinnati and Olaf
Tveitmoe Of San Francisco, who will
probably learn this week whether they
will be granted new trials. This will
depend upon the decision based upon
the oral arguments.
The government offered to opposi-
ton to the retrials ordered for William
J. Mccain of Kansas City, James f.
Ray of Peoria and Fred Sherman of
Indianapolis. No date has been set
for the hearings.
Sentences of from one to seven
years must be served by the 20 men
who will go to prison in June. They
were convicted Of conspiracy to trans
port dynamite on passenger trains in
1910 and 1911. Involved in the case
was the wrecking of the los Angeles

TEN DEAD; A INJURED
REToRT IN DETROIT RUBBER
CONCERN BLOWS UP.
Four Of Those Hurt In Serious Condl-

Mystery.

Detroit, May 18.-Ten men were
killed. another man is dying and three
more we're thought to be fatally in
jured as the result of the terrific ex-
plosion which wrecked the plant of the
Mexican Crude Rubber company in the
west part of the city Friday The di-
rect cause of the explosion may never
be known.
At first it was reported gasoline was
responsible for the accident Later it
was said that sulphuric acid was prob
ably the cause. The coroner shared
the latter opinion and said he based
his belief on the statements of others
who we're acquainted with the pro-
cesses of rubber manufacturing used
in the plant.
1t was believed the explosion oc-
CURED in department where the
molten rubber was being prepared.
There were several workmen in this
department, but as far as could be
isarned none escaped to tell the story
The officials Of the company refused
to give out any statement and gave
all their attention to caring for the
dead and dying. The coroner has an
nounced he will begin Immediately a
rigid investigation into the affair.

WILSON DEMANDS
FULL SETTLEMENT
PRESIDENT INsTRUcTs AMER
IcAN COMMISSIONERS TO MEDI-
ALTON CONFERENCE.
REPORT HUERTA WILL QUIT
DELEGATES of Mexican Dictator Under
stood to Be Prepared to Agree to
His Resignation as Last Re-
sort in Negotiations.

Washington, May 19.-Instructlons
given by President Wilson to the
American commissioners demand that
full and complete settlement OF the
entire Mexican question, including the
elimination of Gen. Huerta, the estab-
lishment of a strong provisional gov
eminent which would guarantee a new
election and fair treatment to all fac
lions, and a solution of the land prob
lem, these are the things that must be
accomplished by the mediators' confer
ence at Niagara Falls, Ont, before
the American troops will be with
Grawn from Vera Cruz. The commits
sioners, Justice Lamar of the United
States Supreme court, Frederick w.
Lehman, former solicitor general, and
Diplomatic Secretary H. Perceval
Dodge, left for Niagara Falls on Tues
day.
While outlining the above require
ments as Indispensable conditions, the
president abstained from specific in
structions. He told the American
commissioners to place themselves in
receptive mood and to await the
proposals of the South American medi-
atOrs.
On Monday dispatch came to one
of the foreign diplomats here from
diplomatic source in Mexico City
stating that Gen. Huerta was ready to
resign, and would permit his repre-
sentatives at the mediation to elimi'
nate him if it should become absolute.
ly necessary.
Intimations that have come from
the three Huerta delegates since their
visit to this country showed that they
had realized Huerta's elimination was
regarded as essential to settlement,
and knew from the outset that unless
they came prepared to deal with this
phase of the problem their efforts
would be fruitless.
The Huerta delegates, too, it is
learned from persons who have talked
/ with them, understand thoroughly that
the scope of the mediation has been
broadened beyond the difference which
arose out of the arrest at TampicO of
American bluejackets, and now COM
prises the entire Mexican problem.
The Huerta delegates are said to
be ready to recommend Huerta's re-
tirement, but only on the condition
that definite understanding is
reached on the kind of governm ent
that is to follow.
