President Wilson
Refuses to Speak
On Garden Transfer.

Pass Christian, Miss. Jan. 5.-Pres-
ident Wilson tonight read with inter-
est press dispatches announcing that
Sir Lionel Garden, the British min
lister of Mexico, would be transferred
to Brazil. The President had no COM
ment to make. 1t is known, however,
that he had no advance information
concerning the transfer. The newpa-
pers in this vicinity continue their
speculation regarding the visit of
John Lind. One publication today
purported to give Gen. Villas activi-
ties in northern Mexico as the chief
topic discussed. Another gave prom
inence to the story that Charge o.
Shaugnessey and Mr.. Lind are not
working in harmony.
President Wilson Is the only in the
United States who knows what took
place at the conference. With the
exception of the general statement
which the President made Saturday
regarding the Lind conference, abso-
lutely nothing has been given out
about it.
The President played golf as usual
this morning.

Lost Articles in Railroad Wrecks

Did you ever stop to think what
might become of your grip, coat or
other belongings If you were caught
IN wreck? The shock felt after a
railroad accident is usually so great
that material things in connection
with 1T are lost sight of. Naturally,
the first thought is of the recovery
and identification of those injured,
The Identification part is not always
easy, and sometimes has been accom-
piished by some piece of personal
property. After the humane work of
caring for the injured has been done.
1t devolyes upon the railroad company
to clear away the debris. Frequently
the quickest and least expensive way
10 DO this is to burn it, but before
this lis possible every effort is made
to recover lost personal property. The
value Of this often runs up into manv
thousands of dollars. In the recent
wreck between New Haven and Wal
lingford. Conn.,, there was recovered
and returned to the owners between
$4,000 and $4,000 worth of personal
property.-Leslies Weekly.

From the fact that all the surviv-
ers were assembled forward" said
Capt. Porter, Il presume that an ex-
plosion took place in the after part of
the ship, where all the working force
in the engineers department were
quartered. Here also were the ships
engines and other machinery. The ac-
cident must have been of a sudden
nature, for otherwise the men after
would have had ample time to have
saved their lives by rushing to the
fore part of the steamer"
The CalEo, which was the first ves-
sci to arrive at the scene of the dis
aster, was 81 miles south of Scotland
lightship, when a lookout saw what
appeared to be a derelict off the port
bow. This was Sunday afternoon. The
Calyo's course was changed and when
she got close to the derelict eight men
could be seen on board. Capt. Bonet
called for volunteers to man lifeboat
to go to the rescue. Six men respond
ed, but when the boat was lowered a
huge wave smashed 1t against the side
of the ship. Three of the men were
badly hurt. They were brought into
port tonight in the ships hospital

Washington, Jan. 5.-Labor forces
pressing Congress for an inquiry into the
Michigan and Colorado strikes today re-
newed their activities, claiming that the
establishment of martial law in either

presented by Rept. Heating of Colorado

1t was said tonight that many mem
bers OF Congress favored an immediate
Investigation into the Michigan and Col
prado strikes. 1t is expected that resolu-
lions will be offered in the Senate as soon

GARDEN Is NOT YET
ADVISED OF INTENDED
TRANSFER TO BRAZIL.

Mexico City, Jan. 5.-Sir Lionel Garden
had not been advised of his intended
transfer to Brazil when the news was
conveyed to him this afternoon by Ihe
Associated Press. He expressed doubt as
to the authenticity of the announce
snent, on the grounds that the appoint
,nent of a new minister to Mexico would
constitute a re-affirmation of the recog-
milton of President Huerta by Great Bri-
tain, which he appeared to regard as q
course which it was doubtful his gov
eminent would pursue. Brazil, the min
lister explained, was his original appoint
ment He had been offered the choice OF
Mexico and Brazil and he chose the lat
ter but was persuaded to come to Mexico
temporarily because of his knowledge OF
the country and people. He thought 1t
possible that his transfer-if that We're
to take place-might be intended as step
calculated to conciliate Washington.
1t is no secret that Sir Lionel Gardens
Ideas since he came here six months ago
have been at variance with President
Wilson's policy of the non-reeognition of
Mexico. He did not hesitate openly to
express his opposition.
Sir Lionel regards as far from hopeIess
the ultimate domination of the situation
by Gen. Huerta- II was ridiculous to
suppose, he said, that a country as rich
as Mexico was now reduced to financial
straits. There were thousands OF
wealthy Mexicans who had yet contrib
uted nothing to the pacification of the
country and who could and should be
reached. The British people, rich and
poor, he continued, are compelled to
stand the cost CT the Boer war. Why
then should not the wealthy Mexicans be
obliged to contribute to the cost of put
ting down the rebellion?

Chivalry's Reward

There is a sham contest whose prac-
titioners often get their "cumup-
pances" as effectively as did Thomas
Raikes. The duchess Of York led him
about her garden, where was me-
nagerie crowded with eagles and some
favorite macaws. A herd Of kanga-
roos and ostriches appeared, and a
troop OF monkeys. Next morning a
kangaroo and a macaw strolled into
Raike's bedroom. He was too much
of a courtier to tell his terror. At
breakfast he said, IT I like one crea-
ture more than another it is kan
garoo while there Is nothing so good
for a bedroom sentinel as q strong
legged macaw." The good duchess
smiled pleasantly and put Raikes
down in her will for two macaws.-

Mr.. Bryan Pleased
With Morgan Action.

Topeka. Kan, Jan. 5.--William ]. Bry-
an, secretary of state. made the princi-
pay address at the Democratic state ban
quet here tonight. Mr. Bryan's topic was
1.-The New Era" He called attention to
a remark credited to J. p. Morgan when
the question of dissolving large corpora
tions was agitated few years ago,
when Mr.. Morgan asked. Can you un-
scramble eggs?" 1t was Mr.. Morgan's
firm, the secretary said, that took the
first steps toward actually "unscram-
bling the eggs by the action taken three
days ago, when Morgan directors with
drew from q corporations.
Referring to Mr.. Morgan's statement
that conditions were now favorable to
carry out the ideas which we have h0i
in mind for some time" Mr.. Bryan said
the President was the man to thank for
squirting the big business men into carry
ing out the ideas which they had had IN
mind.
1.-The next stage in this new era is
to carry out the antitrust law" Mr..
Bryan said. THE President has been
so busy with the work that has just
been completed, that he has not yet
formulated the details of this move
ment but / have heard him say a
private monopoly is indefensible and
intolerable The Presidents use ok
English is so concise and accurate that
feel justified IN saying that if it is
indefensible he will not defend it and
If it is intolerable, he will not tolerate
it."
Mr. Bryan called attention to the
fact that the country had adjusted it
self without excitement or commotion
to the income tax law, even men with
large incomes having in many cases

most of these were strikers. Both fac
tions cheered the Governors assurance
that all he sought was the truth.
To interviewers a few minutes later,
Gov. Ferris intimated that his visit
was occasioned by his inability to get
answers to questions at the conference
with Labor leaders in Lansing last
Thursday.

inged," said the Governor, 81 have no
new plan to suggest. / hope my hum
BILE persuasive powers may bring the
strikers and companies together, but
il fail, then 1 shall say exactly what
I think of the situation and let the
public judge
The Governors program tomorrow
calls for public conferences with the
sheriffs, chairmen of the boards of
supervisors and prosecuting attorneys
Of Houghton and Kekeenawa coun-
ties.
He will also seek an interview with
Judge P. D. O'Brien of the circuit
court. Judge O'Brien is in LAM, seat
of Daraga county, hearing the nu-
merous cases growing out of the
strike. It was expected that word of
the Governors desire to see the judge
would lead to short session of court
there tomorrow.
The Governors announcement that
he hoped to find some method of set-t
ting the struggle between the copper
mine owners and the Western FEEDER
alton of Miners failed, however, to
influence the attitude of defiance to-
wards each other which the opposing
interests have held for FIVE months
I'VE made enough concessions when
John B. Densmore of the federal de-
partment of labor was here last
week." said o. n. Hilton, chief of
counsel for the Federation. I'VE want
as far as we could toward finding
some way by which the striking
miners might return to work. Now 1t
is distinctly up to- the companies. If
the Governor can obtain from them
some sort of definite proposition which
We can consider without humiliating
ourselves, then there may be some
chance for success of his mission.
The company pronouncements were
less definite. but they agreed that the
visit of the state executive might be
productive of considerable good. The
operators express confidence in Gov
Ferris ability to grasp the situation
The Governors visit will constitute

quest of the Governor. The fourth Off
ciaI visitor was Mr.. Densmore. De
spite this multiplicity of inquiries, i
was said that every possible avenue O
information win be opened afresh fol
the Governor.

gan today. John T. Vickery took A
of these men back to New York to-
night. They had been employed at the
