SEVERE FIGHTING IN MEXICO.
State Department Gets Word That
Neither Faction Has Won.

WASHINGTON, May %. - Secretary
Bryan yesterday received official advices
indicating that battles between the forces
of Generals Villa and Obregon in Central
Mexico were not yet determined, and
there had been no decisive victory won by
either side. The fighting has been of the
severest character. Both the Villistas and
Carranzistas claim to have won the battle,
but these claims are declared by the state
department to be premature.
On the basis of his reports yesterday,
Secretary Bryan made this statement:
The departm Mt is just in receipt of
official advices stating that the report of
the Villa victory given out at chihuahua
by Minister lombard was apparently pre-
mature. From the best information OBJ
tainable, it is stated, both sides rested
after the severe fighting at Leon, with a
decided advantage on the Villa side. 1t is
reported that the battle was resumed on
the morning of May %"

STRIKE AT NORTHAMPTON.
Hosiery Workers at McCallum Plant
in Labor Difficulty.

NORTHAMPTON, Mass, May 27.-
The knitters and helpers at McCaIlum s
hosiery factory in this city voted last
evening not to go to work today and
appointed Il committee to confer with
the officers Of the company with a view
to an adjustment of difficulty over
wages which has arisen. The men met
last evening in the German hall at Bay
State, aud after discussing the situa-
ton decided to strike
The difficulty arises from the manu-
facture of different grade of hosiery,
on which it is not possible to earn so
large weekly returns as in the past.
The hosiery knitters of the McCallum
mills are credited with higher average
earnings than those in any other mills
Of the state, ranging from $25 to $40
a week.
About 100 men in the Northampton
and Florence factories are involved
and it is understood that the men at
the Providence plant of the company
will act with the Northampton men.

PRIMARY DATE UNSETTLED;
LIVELY FIGHT PROMISED

The date Of the Democratic pri'
mary election all other questions
are, for the time being, set aside.
Pleasant and Pierson people are
vitality interested. as are also the
Progressive leaders now in the city.
Under the conditions that have
prevailed since the primary system
was invoked the State Central Com
mittee would be called to meet on
Oct. 5th tc call a primary for a d:te
not more than 80 days nor less than
70 days prior to the time set by the
time set by the general election
laws for the general election. This
would put the primary election
about the middle Of January, 1916.
and would afford ample time for a
second primary, for the printing Of
the general election ballot, etc.
Through an omission Of Section
3 of Act 40 1905, when, at the ses'
sion of 1914, Representative Fonte'
MT amended the old law. no fixed
date is set fol the meeting Of the
State Central Committee, and the
date Of the primary is apparently,
left optional. The amending act is
Act No. 268 Of 1914, which was
made necessary by the direct elec'
ton Of United States senators,
Although Democrats all over the
State have given the matter little
concern there has lately developed
a we'll defined report that friends Of
the State administration have
arranged to use the hiatus in the
law as a means Of postponing the
primary election to March. The
omission in the Act Of 1914, it is
} argued, leaves OPTIONAL with the
; committee when it shall meet as
well as removing all restrictions as
to the time for holding the primary
Daily States.

COURT DOES FOR. THE BOYS

There are no bad boys" said
Floyd Starr, president of the Starr
Commonwealth for Boys in Albion
Mich, at Far Rockaway.
There are no bad boys" repeated
Mr.. Starr. but there are many boys
who are the victims Of misdirected
energies. For the last two years |
have had at Albion fifty boys who
were sent to me as incorrieibles.
Yet during that period not a single
one has failed to measure up to
what was expected Of him. That
seems to me a fine record"
Mr.. Starr then narrated the story
Of a boy 7 years old, who was sent
to him as a confirmed kleptomaniac.
The boy entered a barn and stole
implements for which he had no
use, and then set fire to it. He
stole chickens and threw them into
the river. He stole a bicycle which
he couldn't ride.
The boy was given a hearing be-
fore the judge Of the Juvenile court
in St. Joseph. Mich, and sentenced
to serve ten years in restraint.
When his parentaee was investigat'
!. ed, it was found that his father was
a habitual drunkard, and his mother
. an ignorant woman.

! monwealth in July, 1914 said Mr.
Starr, where he was given nourish
