Saturday evening the doors of the
county Jail swung open for Robert
Uhlich. former local president OF the
miners union, and the strike leader
stepped out into the fresh -air. Bond
In the sum OF $2O,O0Oshad been furn-
ished. Freedom was his to await
trial in the district court on various
murder counts growing out of the
disorders of the coal strike.
Robert Uhlich. standing on the
steps of tile Jail building, drank a
deep breath OF fresh air into his
lungs. He stepped out from under
the shadow into which he passed ten
months ago.
The history of the cases involving
this strike leader is well known to all
who have watched the developments
of Investigation. The first of the
miners officials to be arrested he
was the last to be released.
The many disorders Of the months
of October preceding the coming of
the state militia brought about the
arrest of Uhlich. No November 25
he was taken in custody by a mill
tary detail. After the military COM
mission convened and began its in
vestigations Uhlich was brought be-
for the commission and day after day
was put through an examination.
Statements he made gave the offic-
ers of the commission grounds for his
indefinite detention. After he had
been detained military prisoner for
month General Chase relinquished
him and straightway District Attor-
ney Hendrick filed an information
which caused him to be Immediately
rearrested on charge of accessory to
murder. Since that time he has
been in Jail and three applications
for bail have been denied in court.
The entire community was startled
last December when the military
commission published it's findings in
the case of Uhlich. 1t found him to
be a dangerous and undesirable
alien. Statements alleged to have
been made by Uhlich showed him to
be not in sympathy with the laws
and government of America and he
was said to have made the declara-
tion that he had no desire to become
q citizen. A student of Socialism he
had told OF his wanderings over the
face of the earth-a man without u
country and a man who paid alleg-
lance to no flag.
Against confinement he protested
In a memorable letter written from
the city Jail and addressed to Dis

treated with the utmost cruelty but
his charges were afterward admitted
to be false.

Londonn, Sept. 21.-England
waited in vain today for confirma-
tion of the report that the bulk Of
the German army had begun to re-
tire from France, and prepared for
another period of anxiety and sus-
rense which must last as long as the
great battle of the Aisne, now in its
tenth day, remains undecided.
Though British officials say the
allies are gaining ground their pro-
gress necessarily is slow and the pub
lie is beginning to feel that the turn
ing point in the battle never will be
reached until one side or the other
has been outflanked.
The suggestion that the allies
would accomplish this Saturday or
Sunday on the German right was not
fulfilled, and apparently their efforts
are being continued today.
For days the British press referred
to "Von Kluck's peril, but so far the
German commander has been able to
check what must have been terrific
pressure from the British and French
left.
Naturally there has been no cor
roboration from German sources of
the report that a comparatively small
part of the German proposes to main

France while the main body makes
stand on the frontier, but optimists
here believe that 1t is probable that

CLAIMS THE PROOF
OF DOUBLE DEALING
Mexican Provisional Govern.
ment Explains Quashing of
CarOtherS' EXqeuatur

Mexico City, April 6.-The Mexican for
eign minister, Senior Portillo y Rojas,
informed the Associated Press today that
the Mexican government had intercepted
a telegram from George G. Carothers, the
American consular agent at Torreon, to
Secretary Bryan, declaring it advisable
to persist in the statement that Torreon
had fallen, though such was not the case,
in order to prevent the government from
getting reinforcements to the aid of
Velasco"
This, said the foreign minister, was the
reason for the withdrawal of Consul Caro-
thers' eXequatur.
In making this announcement, the min
ister appeared to be fully convinced that
the federals still were holding Torreon.
He said that President Huerta had so told
him, which information he did not doubt.
The war department announced the re-
ceipt today of dispatches from the custom
agents at Piedras Negras reported that
Gen. De Muiere and Gen. Mas, at the
head Of their forces, had entered Torreon
Three generals recently were reported tc

It was, indeed, a treat to have the privi-
lege of sitting and listening to those two
old comrades talk about their experiences
in a war which was fought and won more
than 60 years ago.
"They recounted many instances with
which both were familiar, in their soldier
days, recalling names and events that had
long since passed from memory. When
they volunteered and left for Mexico,
both we're privates. After the battle OF
Vera Crus, Martin was promoted to first
lieutenant and transferred from the Pal
metto Regiment Of volunteers to the
Twelfth Regiment Of Regulars under Col.
Milledge Bonham. After Martin was
transferred, he, Of course. was not as ia
miliar with the movements Of theformer
command as Mckee, who remained with 1t
until it reached Pueblo, near Mexico City,
where, on account of sickness, he was dis
charged. After the war was over, Mr..
Mckee resided for several years near Due
West, in Abbeville county, and in 1857
moved to Old Pickens Court House. In
1860 he married Miss Emily E. Perry, a
daughter of j. P. Perry, of Pickens coun-
ty. His wife is twenty years his junior.
Their union has beeY' blessed with five
!! children, four sons and daughter. Two
Of the sons and the daughter reside near
them. The eldest is John L. the next
Mrs. A. A. Hooper, and the third, W. P.
Mckee. The third son, James, is In the
railroad work and resides at Fall River,
Kans. The youngest son, who is named
Foster Marshall for his captain, Is farm
or and resides in Oklahoma.
MIR. Mckee was also in the Confederate
service, having served one year in Capt. j.
w. Carey's company on the coast of South
Carolina.
after partaking Of splendid dinner,
which Mrs. Mckee and her daughter pre-
pared, we remained for several hours read
ing several articles from newspapers,
which they had preserved In regard to the
Jackson Vase, which, by the way, If the
conditions are rightfully carried out,
should be turned over to Mr.. Mckee, as he
is now the last survivor living in the state.
Before closing this article we wish to
state that when it is taken into considera-
tion the vast territory acquired by the
| United States as direct result Of the
Mexican war, and the vast wealth Of that
territory, it is shame that these old vet
erans are not given larger pension"

HOME RULE BILL
MOVES FORWARD
Again Given Second Reading in
House.
SIGNAL FOR CHEERING
Announcement of. Figures by
Which Amendment Fails
Gives Rise to Enthu-
siasm.
SIGNAL FOR CHEERING

London, April 6.-Bya majority OF 80,
an amendment for the rejection OF the
home rule bill was defeated in the house
Of commons tonight and without a dlvls-
ion the bill was given, for the third time,
its second reading in the house.
The announcement Of the figures evoked
louder cheers from the opposition than
from the ministerialists, the opposition
interpreting them as gratifying proof OF
dwindling, government majority. But the
diminution is accounted for to some ex-
tent by the abstention from voting Of the
O'Brienites.
The speaches teday were generally
much more conciliatory in tone than those
which marked the bills earlier passages.
John E. Redmond, the Nationalist leader.
who opened the debate, again held out the
olive branch to Ulster, but insisted that it
was impossible for him and his colleagues
to agree to the permanent exclusion OF
Ulster.
Andrew Bonar Law, the opposition lead
er, though protesting to see hardly any
hope of peaceful settlement and predict
ing that civil war was certain if the gov
ernment persisted in pushing the bill
through, declared that he and his col
leagues would gladly accept a proposal
for the renewal of the conversations with
the government leaders.
The second reading Of the home rule bill
was carried the first time by a majority
of 1O1 and the second time by majority
OF 90. Tonight eight o Brienites abstain
ed from voting and two Liberals votad
against the government. One Nationalist
was absent. Three Laborites also were
absent. Charles F. G. Masterman, who
had previously voted as member OF the
government, lost his seat in the election
for Bethnal Green last February. MIR
Asquith took no part in the voting, as he
recently resigned to stand for reelection
on his taking the secretaryship for war.
