ELKS HOLD THEIR
 ELECTION OF OFFICERS
Sam Mcdonald Elected President and Frank Ennis Remains
 Secretary.

There was a meeting of the Elks yesterday at which the annual cleo ton of officers was held. Isaac Evans, who has filled the office of president most creditably during the past year, declined nomination for re- election. Samuel Mcdonald was then unanimously elected president. Mir. Mcdonald has had a most active career in the affairs of Elkdom. He is past exalted ruler, has been a delegate to several of the national convetiosn of the order, and is life member of hte grand lodge of the United States. Frank C. Ennis, the efficinet secretary, was unanimously reelected.
 The indications are that the Elk's ball on Washington's birthday will be a brilliant event. It will be an invi- tational affair.

Mob of Men Attacks Cable Plant With Guns and Stones and Militia

Hastings on- Hudson, N.

A mob of men at tackled the companys plant with bull" lets and stones
 The trustees of the village voted to place the situation in the hands of Sheriff Weisendanger, who at once summoned to duty the national guardsmen, who began assembling in armories at White Plains, Mount Ver- non and Flushing.
 Sheriff Weisendanger suspended the sale of intoXicants and closed all sa- loons and ordered on duty the dep- uties withdrawn last night after the plant closed down.
 After stoning the shops the strikers and their sympathizers jostled train commuters in the streets and then drew revolvers and fired into the air and at the plant. No one was injured during this attack

GRAND DUKE TAKES
 HIS TENTH VICTIM
Irresistible Russians Gather Trebi- Zond in Their Net and Allies
 Are Rejoicing.

Paris, April 19, 5:15 a. m.-Paris received with great enthusiasm the news of the fall of Trebizond This event was looked for but it was not thought the Russians would be able to capture the city so quickly The political as well as the military con- sequences are expected to be most important, particularly in view Of the fact that Turkey has lost one of the most valuable parts of Asia Minor at @ time when, according to reports reaching Paris, Germany is weaken ing her forces in the Balkans to carry on attacks on the western front
 French military writers state that the plan of campaign of Grand Duke Nicholas, the Russian commander, was daring one, which at first was looked upon as foolhardy but now is fully justified. The Grand Duke de- cided to advance boldly to the attack On this front, where maneuvers of warfare were possible, while the other fronts were still held in dead lock.
 Excluding the operations of the Persian front, Grand Duke Nicholas in this campaign against an experi- enced and stubborn foe, has to his credit the storming of ten cities in less than two months

Washington, April 19-Decision of the Washington government upon the question as to whether the Amer ican forces hunting Villa should be recalled or reinforced for further op- erations today awaited the receipt of further reports from American off, cers in Mexico. General Funston al ready has submitted a lengthy report on the situation and additional ad~ vices from him are momentarily eX pected. Meanwhile, indications arc that the chase for Villa is at a stand still
 The general belief here is that the German situation would have some bearing upon the impending, decision Should a break in diplomatic rela- tions occur, it was pointed out that the troops now in Mexico would be needed at home, as military prudence would require that steps be taken to prepare for eventualities in Europe.
 It was suggested that inasmuch as the main purpose of the expedition, the protection of the border, has been accomplished, an agreement for withdrawal might be reached with Carranza on the basis that if Villa or his bandits again head northWard American troops would again cross the international line.

Concentration of Troops.

El Paso, Tex, April 19.-Con- firmation of reports that the Amer jean expeditionary force was being concentrated at three points in Mex ico, preparatory either for the with draWal of the troops or the organiZa- tion of a new and more extensive campaign was received here today from Mexican sources.
 It was said that General Pershing had withdrawn all outlying detach- ments south of Namiquipa and that in the neighborhoOd of 5000 men were camped at San Antonio, 12 miles west of Cusihui uiriachic and that force estimated a almost double this number was being concentrated near Namiquipa.
 The belief that the American troops are about to leave Mexico is widespread among the Mexicans in Juarez and has completely changed the attitude of the people, who, after the Parral incident gave marked indi- cations of hostility toward Americans.

CUMMINGS CHAIRMAN
 IN PLACE OF REILLY
National Committeeman to Wield GaveI 10 Open Democratic Con-

New Haven, April 19.-The selec- tion of National Committeeman Homer S. Cummings of Stamford, as temporary chairman of the demo- cratic state convention in this city next month, was officially announced by David E. Fitzgerald, state chair man today. It had been expected that former Congressman Thomas L. Reilly would be the temporary chairman.
 MT. Cummings at present is in Asheville, N. C., on vacation. He will be in Washington on April 25 to argue in behalf of former Congress- man Donovan of the fourth district in the contest over the seat of Con- gressman E. J. Hill of Norwalk, and after that he will come here to ar range details for the state conven- tion
 Delay in making definite announce ment of the temporary chairman was due to the fact that State Chairman Fitzgerald was in the south for several weeks, and upon his return to take up political activities he found that MT Cummings was going south requiring correspondence to prepare for convention announce TlentS.

CONFERENCE EXPECTEl
House May Not Agree With Sen;
 Army Bill.

Washington, April 19.-The organization bill, passed by thd ate last night, went to the hou| day, where a conference probab4 be asked for on the measure.
 The bill is a substitute for th' bill, passed by the house, and, as ly approved without a record would produce regular army ar serve forces in the United Statt gregating a million men.
 The bill was hurried throug senate amid exciting scenes, al joint session of the two house been called for today to hear a dress by President Wilson on gra ternational issues. All attempts duce the proposed increases in army were rejected in quick s1 sion.
 The bill differs radically fror house measure. On that accol was regarded as virtually certain a conference would be asked.
