NINE STRIKE IS OFF
WARNING COPPER MINERS IN
CALUMET DISTRICT ABANDON
DEMAND FOR RECOGNITION.
CLAIM SOME POINTS WON
Charles II. Meyer Will Not Discuss
Action Until He Receives the Off,
cial Vote-Head Of w. 2. Of M. and
Others Must stand Trial.

! Hancock. Mich, April I5.-The
miners in the copper country who
| have been on strike since July % voted
to call off the strike, according TO. an
announcement made on Monday by
Charles T. Hieteia, district secretary
OF the Western Federation of Miners.
The figures will not be given out until
after meeting Of the district board.
1t is unofiicially reported that the
| majority in favor of calling off the
strike was 1,012 The unofficial vote
from four of the five locals in the dis
trict resulted as follows: Ahmeek, 600
for returning to work and II against;
Calumet, 291 for and 3S2 against; Han
cock, 491 for and is against; South
Range, 4S5 for and 80 against.
Recognition of the union denied by
the mining companies is waived blythe
strikers in voting to return to work.
They claim that practically all Of their
other demands have been granted
since the strike began. These demands
included better working conditions, an
eight-hour day and minimum daily
wage of three dollars.
From the outset the operators have
declared that they would never recog-
nize the Western Federation OF Mi
ners, although they do not question
the right of their employees to organ
ize. Several thousand men have been
imported to fill the strikers places and
the companies will be hard pressed to
find work for the returning strikers.
The strike has been attended by
considerable violence and there has
been some loss Of life. The National
Guard was ordered out in the early
days Of the struggle to assist the civil
authorities in preserving order. There
has been no disorder OF any conse-
quence for several months.
Hietela said the strike had cost the
union more than one million dollars.
Houghton, Mich. April 15.-Charles
II. Meyer and the 81 other officers and
members of the Western Federation Of
Miners must stand trial under the in
dictment charging them with conspir-
acy in connection with their activities

HITS RADIUM "CURE"
EXPERTS ASSERT KNIFE IS BEST
FOR CANCER.
Or. William n. Mayo Addresses Fore.
most Surgeons Of the coun-
try at New York. ..

New York, April 14.-All hope Of
curing cancer by radium has been
abandoned by some of the foremost
surgeons and research workers. of the
country, who declared at the meeting
of the American Society for the Con-
troll of Cancer that tho failures of
radium Cutnumber the cures 100 to /.
Tha. nothing is of avail against the
most dreaded disease but the speedy
use Of the knife was the opinion ad-
vanced by DR.. William H. Mayo of
Rochester, MINI.
Operation is the only cure, but ra-
dunn or ray treatment is in order as
temporary palliative where opera
ton is impossible. according to Dr..
Francis G.. Wood, director of cancer
research at Columbia university. Fail
ures from radium outnumber the cures
100 to /, he stated. Another genera
ton will be required TO furnish knowl
edge on the real cause and actual ma
ture of cancer, he said. Experiments
for IS centuries show that heredity
plays a small part, If any at all. in its
appearance
1t was expected that the members
OF the society would have something
hopeful to report. Instead they admit
ted no progress and held out little
hope. They united in saying they
had discovered neither the cause nor
the nature of cancer Then they
proved by statistics that cancer is on
the increase.
That a change In the habits and
customs may reduce the disease to
some extent was a ray of hope held
out by DR.. Mayo, who also said any
cancer could be cured If operated
upon in its early stages.
IF we could only tell how TO avoic
it l would be glad, because am frank
to admit that we do not know" he
declared. He said the statement that
the use of meat was one OF the habits
to be avoided in connection with can
GER prevention had been wrongly at
tributed to him.

HUERTA DEFIES ORDER
DICTATOR FLAUNTs MAYO's DE-
MANo TO HONOR U. S. FLAG.
President Wilson Ready to Enforce
Dletum-lnslsts "oId Glory"
Must Be Saluted.

Vera Cruz April 15.-The federal
commander at Vera Cruz. Gen. Gus
tavo Mas. said the Mexican govern
ment had ordered Gen. Morelos cara
gosa of Tampico not to accede to Ad.
mirs Mayos demand that the Ameri'
can flag be saluted within tweDty-four
hours
The government considers that such
a step would be highly derogatory TO
national dignity and was uncalled for,
as no insult had been offered to the
American flag. Through his apology
for the unfortunate mistake made in
arresting Americans General cara
gosa, added General Mas, had made
ample compensation.
Reports of iudiguities to the flag of
the .Dolphins shore boat apparently
are unfounded The advices of Ad-
miraI Mayo to Admiral Fletcher say
the flag was not removed from the
socket in the stern of the boat.
In the formation OF the demand for
a national salute Admiral Mayo took
the position that an affront to the uni.
form was identical with an indignity
to the flag Admiral Fletcher sus
tanned that view.
Washington. april 15.-Upon wheth-
er the commander OF the Huerta
forces at Tampico salutes the Ameri-
can flag in apology for the arrest OF
American marines depend upon i'm.
mediate developments in the Mexican
situation.
President Wilson declared unofficial
ly that he expected the federal COM
mander at Tampico to fire a salute to
the Stars and Stripes as demanded
by Rear Admiral Mayo. He spoke
on the subject with a confidence that
implied insist2pce.
The presence in Washington OF
John Lind, President Wilson's person
al representative in Mexico for eight
months, gave the government an adj
wiser with special knowledge OF the
at Tampico.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington tense feeling in
government circles over the Mexican
situation was increased by the news
from Mexico City that Huerta, reply
ing to demand, presented to him by
Mexican capital. Nelson Shaugh-
messy, for the protection of foreign
property at Tampico, answered in in
solent terms that the United States
should realize that 1t was impossible
for him to protect the property of for
eigners when he was trying to put
down. revolution.
Furthermore, added Huerta, that by
President Wilson's encouragement OF
the revolutionists and his supplying
them with arms were chiefly RESPONSE
BILE for the condition now prevailing
in Mexico. 1t is definitely reported
that Huerta refused to see Nelson
O'Shaughnessy when he appeared at
the national palace in Mexico City to
present further demands. Huerta sent
word that he considered the incident
closed with his last message, which
was so unsatisfactory to Washington.
The government is said to be planning
to land force 1T Tampico. The seizure
of the custom house there probably
will be the first step, and it may be
taken prior to the arrival Of Adm.
Badger and his feet.

CHAPTER XIII.

The Knight of the Crimson Rose.
The row of horsemen had halted in
a curving line before the grand stand,
and now in the silence the herald,
holding a parchment scroll, spurred
before each rider in turn, demanding
his title. AS this was given he
whirled to proclaim 1t, accompanying
each evolution with blast on his
horn. Knight Of the Golden Spur"
Knight of Castlewood," Lord Of
Brandon" 'Westover's KING b t."
knight of the Silver Cross: the
names, fanciful, or those of family es-
tates, fell on John Valiant's ear with
q pungent flavor of medievalism. He
started as he became aware that the
rider next him had answered and that
the herald had paused before him.
Knight of the Crimson Rose!" 1t
sprang to his lips without forethought,
an echo, perhaps, of the improvised
sash and the flower in his hat-band,
but the shout of the herald and the
trumpet's blare seemed to make the
words fairly bulge with inevitability-
And through this struck sudden ap-
palled feeling that he had really
spoken Shir1ey's name, and that every
one had heard. He could not see her
face, and clutched his lance fiercely
to overcome an insane desire to stoop
hideously in his saddle and peer un-
der the shading hat-brim. Lest he
should do this, he fastened his eyes
determinedly ON the major, who now
proceeded to deliver himself of the
Charge to the knights"
The major made an appealing CEN
ter to the charming picture as he
stood on the green turf, "the glass
of fashion and the mold of FORM" his
head bare, his shock of blond-gray
hair thrown back, and one hand thrust
between the buttons OF his snowy
waistcoat. His rich bass voice rolled
out to the farthest corner Of the field:
"Sir knights:
"The tournament to which we are
gathered today is to us traditional; q
rite of antiquity and monument of
ancient generations. This relic of the
jousts of the Field of the Cloth-of-
Gold points us back to an era of
knightly deeds, fidelity to sacred trust,
obligation to duty and loyalty to wom-
an-the watchwores cot true knight

I'VE like to think that when our
forefathers, offspring .of men who es-
tablished chivalry, came from over
seas, they brought with them not only
this ancient play, but the precepts 1t
symbolizes. We may be proud, in
deed, knowing that this is no hollow
ceremonial, but an earnest that the
flower of knighthood has not withered
In the world, that in an age when the
greed of gold was never so dazzling,
the spirit Of true gallantry has not
faded but blooms luxuriant in the
sparkling dews of = the heart of this
commonwealth.
