A Mexican who can play no mu-
steal instrument is nothing less than
a curiosity. There is no hamlet so
insignificant that it has no band.
Eight or ten men get together and de-
eide to form a band. Having reached
that decision, they go to the jefe po-
litico, or mayor.

Standing in the black group under
gaunt trees at the cemetery, three days
later, Bibbs unwillingly let an old, old
thought become definite In his mind:
the sickly brother had buried the
strong brother, and Bibbs wondered
how many million times that had hap
pened since men first made word
to name the sons of one mother. Al
most literally he had buried his strong
brother, for Sheridan had gone to
pieces when he saw his dead son. He
had nothing to help him meet the

philosophy" definite or indefinite. He

SYNOPSIS.

Sheridan's attempt to make business

LOSES LIFE TRYING TO RESCUE DROWNING BABE Maple Street Man and Child Both Sink Off Indian
 Neck.

In a, vain attempt to save from drowning the four month old child of MT. and Mrs Frederick R. EId- redge of 56 Grove Hill. Charles Mel len of 40 Maple street sacrificed his life yesterday afternoon in Long off Indian Neck, Branford. The bodies of Mellen and the child have not been recovered.
 Mellen, Mr. and Mrs. Eldredge and their baby, Mrs. Fannie Remington, Eldredge's aunt, and Edward Sharp of Maple Hill left Eldredge's cottage at Indian Neck in his motor boat When a mile and a half off shore the breeze began to kick up a heavy sea and the boat labored in the waves The lurching of the craft threw Mrs. Eldredge and her child into the sea. Instantly Mellen dove in after t1Jm but it is evident that he was taken with a cramp as he failed to appear again. Eldredge followed him over the gunWale and succeeded in seiz- ing his wife and keeping her above water until Sharp could maneuver the boat to their rescue. The child sank almost as soon as it hit the water. Search was made for the two bodies but without success and the party that started out so gayly was forced to turn back to land with grim tragedy written in their hearts.
 Mellen was a toolmaker employed by Pratt & Whitney in Hartford He IS survived by his wife, who, before her marriage, was Miss Leah Cohen, daughter of the late Nicholas Cohen, and ten year old daughter. Erma. lie was member of a local lodge of Odd Fellows and of Worcester lodge, B. P. o. B.

REPUDIATES CONFESSION
Erwin King Now Denies Double Mur- der for Which Charles Stielow is Under Sentence of Death.

Albion, N, Y., Aug. 14.-Dictrict Attorney Knickerbocker of Orleans County announced today that Erwin King had repudiated completely the confession he made at Little Valley. N. I.. on Aug. 10 that he was guilty of the murder of Charles Phelps and ms housekeeper, Mary Wollcott, at West Shelby on March 22, 1915. Charles StieloW now is in Sing Sing prison under sentence of death for these murders but was reprieved re- gently on the day set for his execu- ton. Stielow's friends believed Kings confession would save the life of the condemned man.
 It is said that King gave the rea- sons that actuated him when he made his confession at Little Valley but the district attorney did not make public that portion of the statement.
 A warrant was issued here today by Peace Justice H. C. Tucker, charging Erwin King with murder in the first de gree in connection with the Phelps and Wolcott murders at West Shelby in March, 1915, for which Charles F. StielOW is under sentence of death.
 The peace justice refused to say upon whose information the warrant was issued.

London Admits Ger mans Have Gained Footing in Trenches Captured From Them Near .PoziereS

The Russian drive in Galicia is pushing the Austro- German armies backward towards Lemberg at a rapid rate.
 Both Hanks of Gen. Count Won Bothmer's army on the Lemberg front are under heavy pressure and it's center, forced from the line of the Stripa, is accounted by military ob- servers in entente capitals to- have none too secure a position in it's rear along the upper Zolta Lipa, to which it is presumed to be retreating.
 Petrograd today announces new gains for the Russians on the north ern wing of this front, on the upper Sereth, while to the south Gen. Letch- itzky is continuing his thrust up the Dniester in the vicinity of Mariampol seven miles from Halicz. The Rus sian armies in the center also are pur- suing the Austrians in the middle Stripa and Koropice regions.
 Continuing their advance from Cor izia on the IsOnzo front, the Italians have mace further progress on the Carso Plateau, to the southeast Rome reports the piercing of a strong ly defended Austrian line east of Hill PIP, and the capture of about 500 ad- ditional Austrians. The Austrians are sharply attacking along other sectors of the front but were re- pulsed in all attempts, the Italian war office announces.
 Following the usual course, the Germans have sharply counter-at- tackled along the line west of Pozieres, which London last night reported the British to have carried to a depth of 300 or 400 yards on front of nearly a mile.

WILSON TRYINGTO
 HALT K. R. MENACl
STRIKE WOULD STYLE
 COMMERCE OF NATION
Industry Would Be at Stand still if Men Walked
 Out.

New York, Aug. 14.-If President men and their employees to settle their differences and general strike is called it will be directed from head quarters in this city. The announce the four big railway brotherhoods and the railroad managers reached Wash ington for d conference with the head of the nation.
 At the other brotherhood headquar- ters it was said that all preparations had been made for putting into effect a strike that would stop every train, passenger and freight, on the FPS rail way systems of the United States. The critical state of affairs was indicated by the anxiety displayed in every big industry which would be crippled by the failure of transportation.
 Authorities here declared that while the national labor laws gave the pres ident no right to interfere officially, the broad police powers vested in him gave him authority to put soldiers on the trains and even to declare martal law if he believed the peril of the sit uation called for such drastic meas ures Attention was called to the last national railroad strike in 1894 when President Cleveland used the regular army to guard locomotives and cars.
 The tension in business circles here today showed a realization of the acute danger of national calamity.
 It was to be remembered business men said that there is scarcely tac- tory of any importance which does not depend on railroad for its products. A strike, for instance, would mean that the steel mills of Pittsburgh Will be cut off from their ere supplies III Michigan and Wisconsin, the automo- bile industries of Michigan from sup plies of steel from Pittsburgh, the cot ton mills of New England from their cotton from the south, the garmer' | manufacturers cf New York from their cloth from New England, anC every industry everywhere will be GU off from coal to feed the furnaces anc dynamOS.
 The suspension of the country's ex. ports, the congestion of imports al coast cities, the stranding of hun. dreds of thousands of travellers anC summer resort visitors far from theil homes-these are other possibilities which 7he strike situation presents, tc say nothing of its effect on the rail roads themselves and their employees
 The total capitalization of the rail roads in the country amounts to more than S2O.O0O, O,000,000 and their gross revenue has been estimated at more than s4,0OO,OOO,O00 on the basis of recent reports.
