File Petition in Equity.

& NEW YORK, June 25.-Receiver
were appointed today for H. B. Claflir
Z & Co., one Of the biggest dry good.
firms in the world. A petition il
equity was filed before U. S. Judge

ship involved about $25, 100000 Judge
Hand named Joseph Martindale and
F. A. Juilliard as receivers and fixed
the bonds at 100000.
New York Banks Involved.
1t is asserted that all the subsid-
iaries of the company would be taken
care of. Thirty New York banks held
the firms paper and probably 1000
banks in other parts of the world
handled business for the concern.
Thrown Into Bankruptcy.
An involuntary petition in bank
ruptcy was also filed in addition to
the petition. This was evidently re-
suit OF a prearrangement. 1t is un-
derstood that the United Dry Goods
company and the Associated Mer-
chants, besides other companies con-
trolled by the CIaflin company are not
involved directly in the receivership.

mons, three carloads of shrapnel and
other ammunition and nine train loads

he said, the federals dynamited the

Mediation Seems to Have Succeeded
With This One xceptiOn-United
States Yields Indemnity.

NIAGARA FALLS, June 25.-Despite
the report that emissaries of General
CarranZa are at Niagara Falls, there is
a growing feeling that the latest de-
velOpments in Mexico will result in a
refusal of the cOnstitutionaIists to
negotiate with the Huertistas.
General Villa having taken Zacatecas
lit is argued that the rebels are ex-
tremely likely to consider their cause
won and that it would be better to
continue the campaign and take every
thing than to make the slightest con-
cessions.
The mediators, American and Mex
leo City ENJOYS last night signed a
protocol composing the international
differences between the United States
and Mexico.
Conditions OF Protocol.
The protocol sets forth: That the
and Chile-the mediating countries
shall recognize the new provisional
government and that henceforth diplo-
matte relations between the United
States and Mexico shall be resumed.
That the United States demands no
indemnity and does not further exact
satisfaction for any of the incidents
connected with the patrol of Mexican
water and invasion of the country.
That a commission shall be appoint
ed to adjust private claims growing
out of the revolution and internation-
al incidents.
The character of the settlement is
not expected to arouse opposition from
the constitutionalists, who will partici-
pate in, and to a large degree will
mould, the adjustment of all internal
disputes.
When new provisional govern
ment is established to succeed that
headed by General Huerta the result
of mediation-recogniz as triumph
for Pan-American diplomacy-will be-
come effective.

it was announced that the actual |

How Came This Roman Catholic
Priest To Be Syrnpathizing
with a Negro Rapis9 of
White Girl?
THE people of Virginia are intenseIv
wrought up, over the crime of negro
brute, John Clements. who on the night of
May 8, assaulted Miss Fannie Chcnault.
During the commitment trial a Romanist
priest, ''Father" Hannigan, was present. aid
ing the lawyers for the black brute who raped
the white girl
What did Father" Hannigan have to do
with it?
Why was his sympathy enlisted for the
negro?
Why was he so indecentIy helping the
defence?
1he newspaper report says
John Clements, the negro charged with a capf-
tai crime against Miss Fannie Chcnault on tire
night OF May 9th this morning sent on to
the grand jury by Magistrate II. S. Sunday, before
whom, together with Magistrate r. A. Smith,
who acted in an advisory capacity, the case has
been heard
In sending the case on Magistrate Sunday said
in substance:
u think that there is sufficient cause to believe
that there is probability Of this mans guilt, and
therefore cause for sending to the grand jury, and
| order the case sent to the higher court
The decision Of the court under the legal b0un-
daries defined by the counsel IN the in inter
pTetng the statute, means that there is, from
the evidence adduced, probability Of the prison
erS guilt.
The case will come before the grand jury OF the
Henrjco Circuit Court at the July term
Notable among the spectators in court was
Father Hannigan, a Catholic priest, who has
occupied a prominent place in the court room
throughout the trial and who has remained
throughout all of the long, weary sessions OF
court. He only excluded when Miss Che
nault gave her testimony, and then by her direct
request. At that time Father Hannigan said:
Il only here to see that Justice is done His
conversations in the court room have been with
the defense.
Why did this obscene virgin, Father"
Hannigan. want to remain in the court room,
and gloat over that poor Girl as she described
how her person had been violated?
What business is it OF his, TO stay in the
court room and see that 'iustice is done!"
Insolent beast! His remark was as much
an insult to the magistrates, as his attempts
to aid the criminal was an additional outrage
upon the girl.
I would love to read that some stalwart
Virginian, of Hqnrico County, had taken
stick to this Gather Hannigan. and had
given him just such deserved beating as
Jerre Walsh gave Bishop Keilys pet, in
Savannah.

Then came President Taft's extraordinary
conduct in Jumping the Roman Catholic cor
poration friend, Edward White. over the head
Of Justice Harland Of entucky-Harland

President Taft said at the time that he
did not appoint White willingly, but yielded

When he was asked to tell who brought this
tremendous pressure to bear on him he
refused to answer.
Mr.. Bryan challenged Mr.. Taft to publish
the names of those who demanded the pro-
motion of the Roman Catholic over the Pro

After the challenge had served its political
purpose, and mr. Bryan had entered has oaon

Lurtons place.
Was Mr.. Taft the Republican who decided,
when on the Federal BENCH that O. Lab0r8r
had no right to Qait acorz.ing for railroad
corporation?
He was. Judge William Howard Taft
enjoined engineers from leaving their loco
motives Wasn't such decision equivalent to
subjecting Labor to involuntary servitude?
Mr., Taft is the man who gave public money
to priests and nuns in the Panama Canal
Zone; and he admitted that he violated the
law In doing so.
Mr.. Taft IS the man who gave the Roman
Catholic friars seven million dollars for the
lands that they had scooped by pious frauds
from the native Filpinos.
MIR. Taft is the man who sent Major Archie
Butt on a secret, personal errand to the Ital-
ian pope, and caused that gallant young off
GER to lose his life.
Mr.. Taft is the man who pardoned Charles
W. Morse, the Ice-trust king whose greed
and savage inhumanity caused SO many deaths
of children in New York and New Jersey.
Mr.. Taft is the man who tried to prevent
the indictment of the Sugar Trust thieves
and who, after they had been convicted
pardoned them before they had served a day.
MIR. Taft Winked at the rascalites Of Dick
Balllnger who was put In the Cabinet to steal
coal land and power-stes for the Morgan
Guggenheim syndicate
Mr.. Taft discharged Louis CLAWS and
Clifford Pinchot because they were honest,
and were trying to defeat the grab game of
Ballinger and his thieving associates.
During the progress of this ugly and
scandalons episode, Mr.. Taft was caught
6ach-dntimg ON important document, about
which he had told the country a wilful and
deliberate falsehood.
Lewis Brandeis IS the man who caught MIR.
Taft in that shocking attempt to cover fraud
and to deceive the people.
Mr.. Taft IS the man who, as a candidate
for President, promised a reduction Of the
Tariff taxes which would materially reduce
the cost of living; and who after his election
signed the Payne-Aldrich tariff which doubled
the cost of living.
Mr.. Taft then declared in his Winona
speech that this Payne Aldrich tariff was the
best the country ever had--onc Of its features
being that the heaviest taxes were levied on
the necessaries of life, and the lightest, on the
luxu1ies.
Mr.. Taft is the man who massed our Army
on the Mexican frontier, on the dishonest pre-
text of 'military maneuvers," and thus gave
to the reform administration OF Aladero a
fatal stab destroying It's prestige, and paving
the way for the betrayal and murder of that
constitutional President of neighbor
Republic.
Does ony man deny that this Is Taft'S
record?
Can any man defend 1t?
Consider one concluding statement Of
well-known fact:
Mr.. Taft's family connections his million
aire brother and his lawyer brother, are per-
sonally interested in every one of the lawless
combinations of Big Money, Big Business
and Special Privilege that are now under the
criticism of the people and the prosecutions
of the Federal Government.

British Columbia CoaI Trade

c. c. Woodward, U 8. vice-consul general at Vancouver B. C., reporting to the Department of Labor and Com merce on the coal situation in British Columbia, has the following to say.
 "Brjtish bia, especially Van- couver, has been inconvenienced for the past eight months by a scarcity of coal, cau-ed by the strike of miners on Vancouver Island. While domestic coal usually sells for sZ5O per ton, it was difficult to obtain last winter at sIO Go 61l By reason of the strike Se- sttle has not only secured a market in British Columbia for coal of Puget Sound mines, which it may hold to g certain extent, even after the strike is ended, but it has also secured coalinR of great number of vessls A num- Der of local steamers have also recent ly changed to oil burners.
 "Evidence presented to the govern. ment Investigating commission by a civil engineer was that the price of bi. luminous coal from the United States at Fort William was only S5 per ton delivered to Che retailer, with duty paid, as against the following prices in Vancouver: Lump, SZ5O; nut, S65O; pea, s45O; slack, 535O; these prices be- ing increased 9 To 8 per cent during the shortage. It was shown by the Trades and Labor Council that wages paid Go British Columbia miners at various coal producing points were; Cumberland, SO8215 per 2,340 pounds; Ladysmith, 5082 per 2,359 pounds; Nauaimo, in the upper seam SOFAS per per 2,24O pounds and in the lower seam s085 per 2.24O pounds, the men buying their own powder (which costs S0.2O per pound in Ladysmitb, S030 in Cum berland, and 5O16 in Nauaimo). Itwas also stated that it costs the mines 5l per ton to mine wash and screen the coal and that 1t could be transported 40 miles from Vancouver island to the mainland for S025 per ton"

wounds, where the ribs are not touch ca, healing is usually very rapid, even though the lungs be penetratd.
 A new kind of wound has been caused by the sharp steel arrows thrown at great heights by French aeroplanists. These arrows have about the thickness of an ordinary lead pen cil, and when thrown from a height of about 5000 feet strike their victim at the velocity of a bullet just leaving the muzzle of a rifle. Payr says they produce very dangerous wounds.
 Dr. Payr declares that the small bullet badly shatters the hollow bones of arm and legs when striking them at short distances but that at greater distances they tend more to bore a smooth hole, with little or no fractur- ing. Bones near the joints are shot through smoothly, and the wounds heal with no difficulty. Another effect of the present type of bullet is to cnt through the blood vessels, whereas they would often be pushed aside by the older lead bullet and escape dis ruption. This is regarded by Payr as one dangerous result of the small calibre bullet, especially where veins and arteries are cut through deep in the flesh.
 Wounds in the abdomen, says Payr, are most likely to heal without an op- eration than with one; and this, he says, was first proved in the Boer War. The difficulty in the way of an operation is that it is almost impos- sible to take the necessary antiseptic. precautions.
