arms was injured, and five persons
In Cole touring car from Jersey City
escaped being thrown from their ma
chine in two automobile accidents
over the week end.
The carriage in which Mr.; and
Mrs. Harry Brunt and child were
riding was struck by an automobile
owned and driven by M. A. Edgar, of
Metuchen. Mrs. Edgar was thrown
against one OF the wheels of the We
hicle, and her shoulder badly bruised
and confused. Fearful lest her baby
should be hurt, Mrs. Brunt tainted
in the ca-riage and was revived by
DR.. Frank G. Henry. The automo-
bile from Newark was struck by a
Jersey Central car about 7.30 o'clock
last night and part OF the left rear
wheel smashed in, a guard knocked
off, and the machine showed for a
few feet, but the car was going slow
and the motorman stopped the con-
veyor before 1t caused serious re-
suits The automobile was coming

sengers in the machine were severely
shaken up.
About 2:30 o'clock Saturday after
noon Mr., and Mrs. Brunt drove down
hi1g Street and started into Smith,
up which thoroughfare they intended
going. Mr. Edgar was coming down
Smith, and did not see the carriage
until close on the vehicle. The auto
mobiles fender struck the left rear
wheel of the vehicle as it was cross
ing the trolley tracks, throwing the
carriage around and nearly tipping it
over. The horse became frightened
and the force of the impact threw
Mrs. Brunt over on the right rear
wheel. She almost lost hold of her
baby, but managed to keep the n
FAINT safe in her arms by disregarding
her own safety. She hung to the
wagon with part of her body inside
and her shoulder scraping the wheel
until the horse was gotten under con-
troll by Mr.. Edgar. When he had
stopped the animal he found that she
had tainted Mr.. Edgar and Mr..
Brunt assisted her into grocery,
where she was revived under the at
tention of DR.. Henry. The carriage
was slightly damaged, but the own
ers were able to return In it to their

charged during April, and which dis-
missal threatened a strike at the

on both questions which were before
them.

mitted by the board to Mayor Ferd
Garretson: THE arbitrators recom-
mend that Stacey Palmer and Charles

that was produced before them. It

committee are expected to bring
about an amicable settlement of the
differences which have existed be-
tween the pressers and management
OF the company for several months,

had discharged two employees for
cause and the union men held that it
was because of the mems activity In
| union matters, and demanded their
reinstatement, which nearly precipi-
tated strike May l. The company
contended that it was posting the
scales for piecework according to its
agreement with the men, and the
pressers held that this was not being
done. The arbitrators decided in fa-
vor of the employees in either case.

opeCfUs OU CUlteu fTeSS pUe.
Washington, June 15:-Upon the
ability Of the mediators at Niagara
Falls, Huerta, American and MeM-
can commissioners to agree on a
provisional president for Mexico, de-
pends the complete success OF the
mediation. Up to the present names
suggested by the American ENJOYS
have been quickly turned down. The
Huerta delegates objecting to have
anyone who was active in the revolu-
ton.
The state department still believes
it is possible to make choice. Sec
retary Bryan hold that the Huerta
representatives will suggest a strong
man of constitutionallst leanings
rather than to have Carranza elimi-
mated within a very few weeks by
false alarm. The state department
is supremely confident that should
mediation fail Carranza is now in a
position to completely overwhelm
Huerta and take the capital in less
than month. Up TO the present
Huerta enyoys have suggested no

Affection Amonu Birds.

OF all the birds he had studied, said
Mr.. w. Farren, in recent lecture at
the Royal Photographic society's exhi-
bition, none showed conjugal affection
in quite the same way as the herons
of Andalusia, in Spain. Whenever the
two parents relieved each other at the
nest they invariably crossed their
necks in a momentary embrace, after
which the newcomer took up the du-
ties Of sitting and the other flew away.
The brown-backed herons never omit
ted this affectionate salutation. Speak
ing of the famous egret "heronry" in
the same district, Mr.. Farren said that
the egret wore its coveted plumes with
far more grace than he had ever
seen any lady wear them. The slaugh-
ter of these birds in the nesting sea-
son was pitiable Frequently the par
ent birds were robbed of their
plumes and left to die, while the young
ones starved in the nest. The Ameri-
cans, he was glad TO say, were doing
their best to stop the traffic in osprey
plumes.

Max Simms in the Tombs police court.
He was held in $25 900 bail on charge
Of deliberately attempting to murder

magistrate OF O. plea Of not guilty.
Word came from the New York hos
pital that Mr.. Polk was resting COM

possible septic poisoning. The de-
tective bureau will hereafter assign
men to mingle with all crowds In
which the mayor appears.
Mayor John Purroy Mitchell narrow
ly escaped being assassinated here
Friday when he was about to enter an
automobile in front of the city hall.
A bullet aimed at the mayors head
by Michael P. Mahoney, crazed black
smith, missed its mark and hit Frank
L. Polk. the corporation counsel, in
the chin infiicting serious but not
fatal injury. The missile grazed the
cheek of George v. Mullan, tax COM
missioner and the mayors former law
partner, and scorched the left side OF
Mayor Mitchel's cheek.

THIRTEEN MINERS
SLAIN IN FIGHT
Coal Strikers and Troops Clash
In Colorado.
SCORE OF UNION MEN SHOT
One Soldier, Eleven Strikers and One
Newfoundland Among the Dead
Colony of Tents Used by
Men Burned.

Trinidad, Colo. April 22.-Thirteen
men have been killed and two
score wounded in a battle between
striking coal miners and state militia,
which started In canyon near Lud-
low, 10 miles from Trinidad, ragged all
day and continued at night Monday.
Firing ceased at ten o'clock, except
for desultory shooting. At that hour
the militia had surrounded a great
body of miners In an arroyo near Saw
ings canyon.
Strikers are rushing from Trinidad,
Walsenburg and other neighboring
camps to aid their fellows, and 1t is
predicted that the fiercest labor battle
in the history of the state will be be-
gun. Additional militiamen also are
being hurried to the scene. The dead
include one soldier, II strikers and
one non-combatant.
The big tent Colony was destroyed
completely by fire. The hundreds OF
women and children are being cared
for by frantic citizens. Gen. Louis
Tikas. strike leader. Is among the
dead.
Private A. Martin of Company A,
First regiment, Denver, was killed and
Private Louis Purcelle Of Company
A, Second regiment Of Colorado
Spring, was shot through the breast
and will die. Another soldier was
shot through the shoulder.
All telephone wires are down and
telegraphic service Is limited to one
railroad wire. A report from the
military camp at Ludlow says that 40
strikers are wounded.
At union headquarters 1t was de-
clared that no reports of casualties
among the strikers had been received.
The military force totals about one
hundred and fully four hundred armed
strikers are in the hills. An eff
fort to send recruits from Trinidad
was delayed by the refusal of the
train crew to take out the train.
Master Mechanic Roach and Dis
patcher Willis finally manned the en-
CINE and Superintendent Abrams
took charge of the train.
Strikers In the hills above Cedar
Hill also are said to be exchanging
shots with a small detachment of
troops under Lieutenant Lawrence,
in trenched farther up the canyon.
