Refuse to IndOrse Hughes.

New York, June 17.-Amid shouts
of "We've been sold out and delivered
to Barnes!" New York state Progress
sive leaders and delegates to the ma
tional convention refused at a Hotel
Manhattan conference today to indorse
either Hughes or Wilson and approved
this resolution:
"Resolved, 1t is the sense of that
meeting that if Colonel Roosevelt
should not accept the Progressive
nomination the national Progressive
party should nominate candidates of
its own party faith for the offices Of
president and vice president of the
United States, and in no event should
the national committee of the party
indorse the candidates of any other
political faith for such offices, or
either of them. and further
"Resolved, That the national COM
mittee should advise Progressives
throughout the country to use their
own Judgment at the polls on cleo
ton day and should advise the vari-
Gus state and local Progressive organ
izations to use their own discretion
regarding state or local tickets or
candidates"

SNEE WAS FAMED AS
CARVER OF SADDLES

Los Angeles Examiner: The carver
of the finest saddles that ever cabal-
lero sat in during the fete days OF
the old Spanish colony is dead.
Andrew J. Snee, the carver--and
descendant of one of the oldest Span
ish families, the Verdugo family-was
buried Wednesday afternoon in Rose
Gale cemetery. ~s
Born on the north side of the Plaza
fifty-seven years ago, then the heart
of civic activities, Andrew Snee grew
up in that historic locality. He was
baptized in the oil Plaza church and
graduated from the one school of the
young city, then located on the pres
ent Court House site. Then, he bios
somed forth into fame as the finest
saddlery carver in the West.
Snee moved to Ell Centre nine years
ago, and it was there he died last
Sunday. His father, an Irishman, mi
grated to California in al and mar
ried Marie de Verdugo. The eight chill
6ren were at his bedside when he died.
They are Mrs. J. E. Larson, Mrs. H.
M. O'Connell, Mrs. Hazel De Wore,
and Roland, Katherine, Earl, Alfred
and Vincent Snee.
Snee was writing history of early
Los Angeles when he died.

ARE CONSIDERING
THREE-DAY HOLIDAY

Ell Centre merchants were today be-
ing asked their opinion of the pro-
posed plan to declare holiday July
3, to give both clerks and managers
an opportunity to take trip to the
coast or mountains. At the meeting
of the board of directors of the Ell
Centre Chamber Of Commerce the
secretary was requested to obtain the
sentiment of the local merchants re-
garding the plan. Indications were
this afternoon that the holiday might
he declared. The plan will give three
holidays-Sunday, Monday and Tues
day. The action was taken by the
directors after reading a communica-
tion from Warren. Currier, secretary
of the Holtville Commercial Club, stat
ing that the plan would be followed
cut in Holtville if it met with the ap-
proval of Ell Centre business houses
1t is proposed to have this holiday in
all valley towns.
Enforcement of the laws regulating
automobile lights was urged in a let
ter received by the Chamber of Com
merce from William j. Sea, Jr., sec
retary of the Farmers and Merchants
Club of Calexico. The board of di-
rectors last night requested the sec
retary to address letter to the coun-
ty board of supervisors suggesting that
the provisions of the law requiring tail
lights be strictly enforced. The agi-
,tation along this lire follows a recent
accident resulting in one death ano
the injury of several others in col
lision on the CaleXico Ioad.
The financial report of D. c. Bitter
commercial secretary, was received
and approved by the directors. The
report shows collections for May OF
$500, with disbursements of $345. The
funds on hand June l totaled $1,536.54
with bills collectible amounting tc
$621.OO.

Intervention Brought
Step Closer by Order

Washington, Jure 17.-Interventlon
is brought nearer by two developments
of the last two days. Wilson has no.
titled Carranza that the United States
in self defense is forced to police
northern Mexico and General Jacinto
Trevino, commanding the Carranza ar
my of the north, that if he moves to
the east, west or south such act will
be construed as . hostile act and a
signal for war.
That is the nearest the two nations
have been to war yet, and it is so
near that any moment may bring rup-
ture. .r
1t is taken as inevitable that in car
rying on the police work Pershing's S
men will be obliged to move, and in
doing so they must violate the Mexi-
can decree, which is said to have
been issued by order of Carranza.
At Ell Paso the troops are held un-
der arms ready for any emergency,
and it is understood that across the
line in Juarez the Mexican citizens
as well as the army have been ordered
to be prepared for an emergency.
The Mexican government is appar-
emily steadily disintegrating, and an
other period of complete chaos is ap-
parently at hand, in which event the
American soldiers in Mexico will alone
he able to maintain a semblance of
order.
No orders have yet been issued fo1
the movement of militia to the border
from the several states, but it is
thought this order will be given very
soon, and that several thousand mer
from several states will begin to move
toward the border.

GERMAN ALLIANCE APPLAUDS
LONE ANTI-WILSON VOTE

Chicago, June 1.-THE German
American Alliance sent message of
congratulation to Robert Emmett
Burke, the Chicago delegate to the
Democratic convention at st. Louis,
who cast the only opposing vote to
making the nomination of President
Wilson unanimous.
Burke was quoted by interviewers
for Chicago papers as stating he chad
worse things to bear than party os-
tracism," and that he opposed Wilson
because of the dictates of his con-
science.

The Democratic platform, in part,

ton and be apprlsed of the policies

PetrOgrad, June II, VIA LoIluol'-
The capture of an additiona. 100 Of
ficers and $4,000 men was announced
by the war office. The Russian sue
cesses in the offensive along the south
ern front are continuing, the state
ment declares.
The Austrian armies have lost their
power Of coordination and are re
tiring after having lost prac-
tically half of their fighting
strength. Two deep thrusts into the
Austrian line are advancing relentless
ly and threaten blow at Austria from
which she may not recover.
The Austrians have boasted the
Russians would never again take Lem
berg. If the double advance contin-
ues in the direction of the present
thrusts, Lemberg eventually will be
outflanked on the north and south and
the Austrians will be compelled to
abandon it.
Meanwhile the thrusts are deepen
and widening. Each main thrust is
sixty miles wide.
Thrust Is Deep.
The Lutsk thrust has already gone
forty miles deep behind the original
Austrian line, which holds only in
the center at Tarnopol, the district
where the Russians are awaiting
with confidence the effects of theil
success on the wings.
Further south, the Russians now
hold the heights On the western banl
of the Stripa.
The southern thrust extends from
Buczacza to the Pruth, at Czernowitz
and the Roumanian frontier. 1t is no
so deep as the first, but is equally
important and is swiftly developing.
The capture of Enyiatyn gives tn,
Russians a good road to Horodanko
to the complete discontinue of Gen
eral Planners army at Czernowitz
by cutting the communications be
tween that place end Kolomea, whicl
was Planners base.
The Czernowitz group of Austrian
are now practically isolated, not onl.
from the rest of the Austrian forces
but from Austria.
London, June 17.-News of the cap
ture of Czernowitz reached Londol
early today. Dispatches of the pas
few days had, in / measure, prepared
the public for the fall of this import
ant center, and the newspapers yes
terday and the day before spoke O
Czernowitz as "doomed town."
According to the Times, the fate O
Czernowitz was sealed when the Rus
tians took Sniatyn, on the Pruth, cut
ting the most important railway com
munications, while the recent surren
ders of Austrian troops in Bukowin;
had been of such a wholesale charac
ter that the strength of the defender
of Czernowitz had been seriousl,
weakened. Such of the Austria
forces as have been able to escape

position cannot be regarded as hope
full.
Outlining the effects of the Russian
victories of the past fortnight, the
Times says:
"The Russian triumphs have great
iv reduced the strength OF the Aus
trian armies in the East, have shat
tered all dreams of an advance toward
Kiev, have compelled the Austrian Oh
fensive in Trentino to falter and hes
itate and have placed German Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg in an awk-
ward and difficult position"
The Morning Posts Petrograd cor
respondent says the Austrian reverses
have been due mainly to the tremen-
dous efficiency of new shell invent
ed by the Russians.
"This new offensive weapon, which
lis a product of the cooperative work
cf research of the Russian universe
ties" says the correspondent, "has
been used in incredible quantities. OF
course, nothing can be said about the
nature of the she'll"
The Petrograd dispatches in the
morning newspapers emphasize the
fact that the greatest definite breach
in the Austrian line is still in the
neighborhood of Lutsk. This breach
it is stated, now has a front of thirty
miles and is steadily increasing.
London, June 1.-THE last man
who saw Earl Kitchener alive was Sea-
man Rogersson, survivor of the
Hampshire, who arrived at his home
near London yesterday from the Ork.
neys and describes for the Daily Mai
how the field marshal died.
"Of those who left the ship and have
survived" said Rogerson, 81 was the
one who saw Kitchener last. He went
down with the ship. He did not leave
it. 1 saw Captain Saville help his
boat crew to clear away his galley
At the same time the captain wa:
calling to Kitchener to come to his
boat. Owing to the noise made by
the wind and sea Earl Kitchener coulC
not hear him.
when the explosion occurred Ear
Kitchener walked calmly from the cap
tain's cabin and went up ladder or
the quarter deck. There l saw hin

were wearing khaki and had on M
overcoats. Earl Kitchener was calml!

"The crew just went to their sta

to get out the boats, but that was i'm
possible. Owing to-the rough wealth

that were got out were smashed.
"No boats left the ship. What tn
