TRAINMEN AND R. R.
 MEN AGAIN MEET ID
 ATTEMPT AGREEMENT
By Hsyiew Leased Wire)

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-Representa- tives of the national conference com mittee of railways and the four broth erhoods of railway employees will re- sume their meetings here tomorrow for the announced purpose of arriving at some agreement as to the applica- tion of the Adamson law in the event it is held to be constitutional by the United States supreme court. The meetings had been adjourned to await the handling of the award in the case of the switchmen's arbitration which, it was expected, might have some bearing on the eventual interpretation of the Adamson act
 The railway managers held a prell- minary meeting today. It was in timated in railroad circles tonight that among other things which would Oe considered was an agreement to bring the two forces together in a concerted effort to fight the proposed compulsory legislation The railroads, however, are not altogether opposed to the principle of compulsory arbitration, it was indicated, providing a suitable plan can be evolved looking toward the selection of the arbitrators.
 Rather than make separate appeals co the courts to decide the many points that could be brought to issue in this regard. it was reported that both sides, after agreeing on as many points as possible, would consent to bring their differences for final adjudication to the Goethal's commission, appointed by the President to observe the operation of the Adamson act.
 A representative of Elisha Lee, chairman of the conference, author ized the statement, however, that un- der no circumstances will the railways seek to vitiate the Adamson act by any other means than those already adopted.
 The brotherhood leaders expected at Tomorrow's conference are Wm. c. Lee, president of the Brotherhood Of Railway Trainmen; W. s. Stone, grand chief of the Brotherhood of Locomo- tive Engineers; W. s. Carter. president of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire men and Enginemen, and Edward L. Sheppard acting president of the Or der of Railway, Conductors.

FL PASO MISTAKES SLkG EXPLOSION FOR
 BANDITS ATTACK
(By Review Leased Wirel

FL PASO. Dec. 27.-Three explo- sions that sounded like cannon shots and seemed to come from the MeXi- can side filled Fl Paso tonight with rumors of a Villa attack on Juarez. until it. was learned that they were caused by molten slag escaping and flowing over wet ground at the smelt- CT near here.
 A local Mexican paper, Los Sucesos. added to the excitement by issuing an extra at the same hour. proclaiming that rebel army of 2,000 men was marching on Juarez. These men, com manded by Mariana Tamez, were about fifteen miles from Juarez early this afternoon. it was said. It gave Mexican refugees as authority that the rebels wore crepe on their arms as token of death to the followers of CarranZa.
 Although the paper claimed that Juarez was in terror over the report, Americans returning from the Mexi- can side said the town was at least externally peaceful.

GENERAL HERRERA
 SLAIN AT TORREON
(By Review Leased Wire)

.UAREZ, Dec. 27.-Mayor Melchor Herrera received a message today from Mexico City telling him that his brother. General Luis Herrera, was killed in action at the battle of Tor reon. Mayor Herrera transmitted the news to his father, Jose de la Luz Her rera, who is making his home here. The latter was mayor of Parral at the time Major Frank Tompkins of the Pershing expedition, had a clash with the Mexicans there while in pursuit of Villa.
 General Luis Herrera was a minor at Parral when the Madero revolution started. He, with his brother, Mac lovio Herrera, joined the movement. Both brothers were wounded at the battle of Santa osalia. They next joined the Villa forces against Huerta, but later quit Villa and allied them selves with CarranZa. Maclovio, who was promoted to be general, was accidentally killed during the cam- paign against Villa and his brother Luis was made commander at Parral. He recently evacuated that town, went to Tepehuanes, Durango, and from there to Torreon where he met his death.

RUSSIA WON'T TAKE NEUTRALS' PLEA FOR
 PEACE SERIOUSLY
(By Review Leased WiTe)

PETROGRAD, Via London, Dec. 27. -Switzerland's endorsement of Presi- dent Wilson's initiative in soliciting the formulation of peace terms by the warning powers, and the news that other neutrals will follow suit has de- cidedly strengthened the impression made here by the American proposal and confirmed whatever tendency there existed in certain quarters to re gard MT. Wilson's note as inspired by other motives than those set forth.
 In well informed quarters it is said there is no reason to believe that the added influence of other neutrsls will in any way change the point of view presented by the allies. The tone of the press comment has become today considerably more inclined to view the possibility of intervention on its own merits.

 IN SOUTH AMERICA

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27-Convinced that South America offers a practic- able market for coal produced in this country and that development of such a trade would aid materially in build ing up an American merchant marine, department of commerce officials have decided on an investigation of the coal demand throughout the southern con tinent. Grosvener M. Jones, a special agent of the bureau of foreign and do- nestle commerce, has been designed to take charge of the investigation and will sail for South America in Janu- ary

BRITISH TRY TO KEEP
 GOLD FROM ARGENTINA

NEW YORK, Dec. 27-Bankers here heard tonight that cable instructions had been sent out by A. Bonar Law, British chancellor of the eXchequer, in conjunction with Bank of England of. ficials to all British branch banks and banking agencies in this city, directing them to discourage further shipments of gold to the Argentine republic and in general all gold shipments from the United States to any country.
 The main reason for this is regarded here as being the desire of the British government to keep the New York money market as easy as possible to enable it more successfully to float a new British loan in the United States.

 Fl Paso & Southwestern. and should be coming in, car or so a day here after
 In addition, the Independent Fuel X Feed company has two cars of Gallup N. NJ, coal enroute, and they are eX- pected to reach here about Friday. Another car which had been confiscat- ed is to be made up immediately by the Gallup coal company and rushed to Bisbee. The Independent also has two or three cars of wood at Elgin. in the Huachucas, which will be brought here in the next few days.
 The Warren company has a car of Trinidad nut coal on the way here, and it should arrive within the next week. One car ordered by the Warren company late in November has been cohfiscated by a certain railway mak- ing the situation much more severe than it otherwise would have been. In the meantime, the Bisbee Inn prOvement company is trying to meet the usual demand for gas for fuel, and it has kept Manager c. S. Thompson and his assistants, H. F.. Robinson, William Officer and Frank Gaiusha, working night and day to meet the emergency. As a result the homes fitted with gas have been kept com iortable throughout the cold spell.
 Agent Williams expressed the be- ! lief that the situation is now well in hand, that no one will be frozen, and should the situation get worse, which he doubts, he will gather up all the loose ties on the Fl Paso & Southwest eTn lines here and sell them for fuel, ten cents Ile.
 However, he says it will be possible for the community to continue to be supplied with Dawson coal if the con- munity is willing, and that the coal has certain advantages despite a cer. tain prejudice to it. The coal makes more heat than other coals, and he says, if folks don't shut off the draft too much, yet are careful to keep the fire from melting the grate, it will prove more satisfactory than others and almost doubly as cheap.
 The Dawson coal now being distri. buted, sells for 52 1-2 cents for each one hundred pounds, whereas the Gal. lup coal sells for from so to 90 cents, and in some cases in small sacks, sells for one dollar a hundred.
 Williams uses Dawson coal entirely at the railway station
 The Fl Paso X Southwestern gave it's trainmen orders four or five days ago to give right of way to all coal cars destined for commercial use, and | General Manager Hawks has issued positive orders that under no circum stances must commercial coal be con, fiscated for company use"
 It is believed the shortage is largely due to mismanagement at Gallup where the coal companies in the past had lain off part of their miners be cause of an insufficient supply of caI5 only to receive plenty of cars now and have not sufficient miners to fill them It is believed the Gallup companies will correct this situation within the ] next two weeks.

 attitude toward the Atlantic City pro- tocol, which will determine whether negotiations between the United States and the Mexican de facto government are to be continued through the com mission, will be outlined to Secretary Lane here tomorrow by Luis Cabrera. No definite information to indicate what the attitude had reach officials tonight.
 Secretary Lane, who is chairman of the commission, was notified officially tonight that a special messenger bear ing a communication to the Mexican commissioners, presumably General Carranza's reply to the American de- mand that he approve or reject the protocol, had left New York for Wash ington. When the secretary retired for the night, however, the messenger had not arrived and word had come meantime that Mir Cabrera himself would reach the capital tomorrow morning to explain personally General Carranza's position.
 Reply Overdue. Although the United States had set last night, the time by which a reply | from General CarranZa would be eX- pected, it was understood tonight that if the protocol is approved the delay would be overlooked since the chief purpose here has been to secure a satisfactory adjustment If the pro- tocol is rejected Secretary Lane will proceed with plans already under way to wind up the commissions affairs and adjourn sine die
 | Just what the next step would be, officials will not discuss. A rejection of the protocol, which provides for con ditional withdrawal of General Pers h. ling's expedition, would be interpreted here as a reinforcement of General Carranza's demand of last summer that the American expedition be withdrawn internationally.
 Troops to Remain. IL was reiterated that there has been no change in the administration s policy which contemplates the main tenance of an efficient force at the border and does not purpose with drawal of the Pershing expedition. Il
 is apparent that the expedition will | remain in Mexico.

HOME FOR CHRISTMAS.
Good Progress Md,le With Shaft Sink
Ing job at Norway.

The Iron county miners who left
here over a year ago to sink shaft
for the Orkla Mining company at Lok-
ken Verk, near Trondhjem, Norway,
hope 10 complete their contract with
the Il. J. Longyear company before
Christmas, so that they may spend the
holidays at home. The shaft is now
down over 1000 feet, and II must be
carried down an additional 200 feet.
Matt Dahline, one OF the American
miners, was killed July 23, when he
fell fifty feet into the shaft. 1t is
thought that Dahline, who was tim
bering at the time, was seized with
fainting spell that caused him to lose
his balance, as he had complained OF
not feeling well before he went TO
work. Bedard, another OF the Ameri-
cans and known to many in this city,
was married a few weeks ago to
Norwegian girl, and he provided an
entertainment for his American
friends the night of the wedding.
Two levels have already been cut
in from the shaft, and the men are
well satisfied with the progress made.
The contract signed by the men
provides that they will receive their
fare back to their homes in this coun-
try and wages for the time spent
travelling. They will be permitted to
compute the wages and fare for the
return trip at the completion OF the
work and draw them in Norway.
The only complaint the men have is
the manner in which they are fed. In
a letter received recently one OF them
said; The food here is very poor
and one would think that we were in
the trenches the way it is handed out
to us. The lunches we used to have
at Pelto's club in Negaunee contained
mountains OF nourishment compared
to what we get here"

Crystal Falls was we'll represented
at the fair in Norway last Saturday
about seventy-fve from this city be-
ing in attendance. On account of the
rainy weather the two days previous
many Of the races and other sports
were held over awaiting better wealth

The rain let up on the last day and
although the weather was quite chill
ly there was a large attendance on
hand to see the program of races and
sports carried out The horse races
were interesting as was also the BIZ
cycle and motor cycle races. Joe
Bittner was an entry i'm the motor
cycle race but after covering one lap
in pretty fast time, had gas trouble
and was compelled to bring his ma
chine to a dead stop for about a min
ute. After getting his machine in
working order he started out again
and did remarkably well in making
up his lost time. There were two
other entries in the race and Joe car
ried away second money after all his
trouble Irving II. Jackson was one
OF the judges and John Tufts was
starter I'm the horse races.

WILL STAND TRIAL.
Joseph J. Drey, OF Palatka, Placed
Uuder Arrest.

Joseph j. Drey, the Palatka mer-
chant whose affairs were aired in
three cases az the April term of the
United States district court at Mar
quette. was arrested Monday by t. T.
Hurley, Herman o'Connor and Fred
J. Schultheis. district court officers,
and Internal Revenue Officers Wolf
and Johnson. an an indictment re-
turned by the federal grand jury at
its meeting there recently. He fur
nished a bond OF 81, 500 for his ap-
pearance at the next term OF court
which will probably be held in Mar
quette in October or November.
The indictment charges Drey with
attempting 10 defraud his creditors
by issuing false property and finan-
cial statements to wholesale dealers
TO whom he owed large bills. In
statements sent to Lindeke-Warner
& Sons, of st. Paul, and Kolliner Bros.
& Newman company, OF saltwater,
Mimi, Drey made IL appear that he
was perfectly solvent, and that his
assets were from $4,000 to $1,000
i'm excess of his liabilities.
The financial statements neglected
to mention that Drey owed Sam Rus
ky, his father-in-law, nearly $4,000
and that he owed his wife, Mrs. Sim
mie Drey, about $4,000. Just prior to
the time when bankruptcy proceed
ings were started against Drey, he
paid these two debts TO relatives, and
also paid $1,000 that he owed the
First National bank of Iron River and
$500 that he owed the Commercial
bank Of Stambaugh.
At the April term OF court, c. G..
Rite, trustee of the ]. J. Drey estate,
sued to recover the amounts OF these
four payments. on the grounds that
the persons receiving the money re-
ceived greater proportion Of their
claims than other creditors OF the
same class would receive He OBJ
tanned judgments against Rusky and
Mrs. Drey, but the jury decided
against the trustee In the bank cases,
which were tried together.
The former trials were of consider
able interest In the hearing OF the
case against Mrs. Drey, the defend
ant asserted on the witness stand
that she received the $4,000 from her
husband and that she spent over
so 900 of It in one week in Chicago.
She was unable to remember Just
what she spent the money for.

TEACHERS WILL
GATHER SOON
EXPECT 500 TEACHERS TO MEET
IN MEN0MINEE
DATES SET FOR OCT. 11-12-13
Large Number Will Attend Annual
Meet of Upper Peninsula
Educational Assoc.

Five hundred teachers OF Clover
land OF the Upper Peninsula are ex-
pected in Menominee Oct. IL, ~ and
13 10 participate in the annual con-
vention of the Upper Peninsula Edu-
cational association and during which
J. time many prominent educational
men and women will be present.
This organization, though young in
years, is one of the largest Of its kind
in the Middle West Three days are
devoted TO the convention each year
and every teacher is expected TO at
tend the sessions and report to their
superintendents.
Although the general impression is
that Cloverland is still wild coun-
try In which copper and iron mining,
/. numbering, hunting and fishing con-
stitute the chief activities, yet in
truth it is so far developed that this
part OF Michigan has more public
schools than Rhode Island, Delaware,
Wyoming, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah
and Nevada and spends more for edu-
cational purposes than does New
Hampshire, Vermont. Rhode Island,
Delaware, Wyoming, New Mexico,
Arizona or Nevada.
Outside OF the fact that one-third
OF all the iron ore produced in the
nation; that one-sixth of United States
copper ore and that much OF the lum-
ber used in the country comes from
Cloyerland but little is known OF this
country. For years II was supposed
that this peninsula was the home of
polar bears and esquimox and that
they lived on snow balls and icebergs,
but today the impression is gradually
changing.
Trips through the remarkable
schools OF Menominee will be made.
That city boasts OF a new Junior High
school, the only one of its kind in
Cioyerland. This is vocational
school where students in the last
year OF graded school and the Fresh
man year OF High school are taught
along such lines as they may select.
There are two new graded school
buildings being erected as the result
OF bond issue which was carried
last year. In the High school the new
eight hour system" will be explained.
The students there go to school at s
o'clock and remain only during class
periods. However, during the ninety
minutes OF class periods one-half of
that time Is given TO supervised study.
Menominee today boasts of Million
dollar school system.
