BEES HOLD CHURCH
AND CONGREGATION
WORKSHOPS OUTSIDE

Chicago, June members of the
First Congregational church at Blod-
gett, near here, are wondering today
how large swarm of bees got into
the church yesterday and prevented
services from being held in the build
inf. Rev. Elias Stricken was the first
to arrive at the church. He got as
far as the door when the bees started
an attack and he soon retired. Then
number of young women were rout-
ed and finally it was decided to hold
services out of doors.
investigation showed that large
ball hanging from an arch at the en-
trance to the edifice was covered with
bees and it is thought that some one
who did not desire the holding of the
services put the nest there Several
worshipers were stung severely in at
tempting 70 get into tho church.

COWBOY ESCAPES
FROM MEXICANS
American After 30-Mile Walk Tells Of
Ending Bandits Who Raided
Coleman Ranch.

Laredo, Texas, June 12-George
Conover. an American cowboy cap
tured by Mexican bandits yesterday
when he and Arthur Meyers trailed
those narauders who raided the T.
A Coleman ranch at San Samuel, ar
rived in Laredo late last night after
a 30-mile trip on foot after his escape
from the Mexicans.
He said the band which sought to
rustic so head of horses across the
border was composed of five MeXicanS
and two japanese The japanese, he
said, were later captured by de facto
government troops. He and Meyers
attempted to follow the Mexicans
making away with the horses and
caused the animals to stampede, but
they were captured.
Conover said he was we'll treated
by the Mexicans, but the two Japan
csc wanted to hang him.
The bandits left him and Meyers at
secluded place and told the Ameri-
cans to await their return. The Amer
leans then took quick flight, hiding in
the brush when the Mexicans came
back to look for them. The searchers
passed within Is yards of the refu-
gees.
A number Of armed citizens and
state rangers were dispatched to
Webb, Texas, north of here, early to-

HughesMan

St Louis. Mo, June 12.-Henry
Allen. Kansas progressive leader, here
as a newspaper correspondent report
ing the democratic convention, who
has announced his support of Mr..
Hughes, today expressed belief that
Colonel Roosevelt also will take an
active part in the Hughes campaign.
Mr.. Allen said that former Represen-
tative Victor Murdoch, chairman of the
progressive national committee, was
most prominently suggested to sue
coed Colonel Roosevelt as the progress
sive standard bearer if Colonel
Roosevelt finally refused the nomina-
ton.
Il think the hour is too important
for any man to woTry about the name
Of the party he is going to support, y
said Mr. Allen.
If Colonel Roosevelt accepts the
splendid statement of Mr.. Hughes al
meeting the conditions which he laid
down to the progressive convention. a
majority of the progressives in the
central and northern states will sup
port Mr.. Hughes
AS far as l am personally con-
cerned, if Colonel Roosevelt declines
the progressive nomination, will
support Mr.. Hughes rather than vote
for some lesser leader of the progress
sive party, not that / have lost in any
way my enthusiasm for the principles
which we have sought to introduce.
but because l think the fight is going
to be clearly between Wilson and
Hughes and in that case l prefer
Hughes"
Although declining to predict posi-
lively that Colonel Roosevelt will sup
port Justice Hughes, Mr.. Allen said ::
AS I read the Hughes statement, it
seems to be to meet the conditions
laid down by Colonel Roosevelt and
believe Colonel Roosevelt will main
tain rather an important relationship
to the Hughes propaganda"
Mr.. Allen said Governor Johnson of
California was going to Oyster Bay to
urge Colonel Roosevelts acceptance of
the progressive nomination and that
the progressive leaders were consider
ing the selection of Justice Hughes to
fill the Roosevelt vacancy as the pro
gressive presidential nominee, with
Colonel John NJ Parker Of Louisiana
as the vice presidential candidate in
order to maintain the party's exist
ence and its right to a place on state
ballots, especially in the south.

Demands on
Demo Chiefs

St Louis, June 12.-Suffrage of the
newly organized woman's party and the
National American Woman Suffrage
association today rained demands for
two widely different actions on their
issue upon democratic leaders,
The national organization, headed
by Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait. insisted
upon declaration for suffrage in the
democratic platform, while the wo-
mans party representative, through
it's chairman, Miss Ann Martin, de-
clared that unless the convention res
olutions committee demands immedi-
ate adoption of the Susan B. Anthony
resolution by congress her organiza-
ton will declare war.
There is no use to delay" Miss
Martin declared today The party
has the votes in congress to pass this
amendment if it so desires. We will
present our last move and the leaders
can do as they choose. The time for
declarations of good intentions and
friendliness is past. With 100000
voters in twelve states clamoring for
universal suffrage, we demand action"
Senator Hollis of New Hampshire
was the first leader interviewed today
by the Woman's party representatives.
He declared that he had no idea the
present congress would be able to pass
the amendment, event democratic
leaders SO desire.
Mrs. Gait expressed confidence that
the democrats would put suffrage
plank in their platform. She regards
the declaration of the republican plat
form as distinct advance even
though it was not a declaration for a
constitutional amendment.
The ambiguity of the suffrage dec
laration in the republican platform
may be Strengthened out in few days
by a statement from Charles D. Hilles
Senator Borah or some other republi-
can leaders, suffrage leaders Of all or
CARNATIONS heard here today. Mr.
Hilles insists, Miss Alice Paul of the
Congressional Union said, that the
plank puts the party on record fol-
suffrage and does not intend to cay
that the states should deal with the
QueStiUu SSpdi dloiy Jul luciOiS iCSo6
nizes that they have this right. Only
few suffragists interpret the declar'
alton that way, however, and they are
demanding a formal statement of tn.
republican attitude.
| An effort also will be made to have
Justice Hughes declare unequivocally
for suffrage in his speech of accept

THE WAR TODAY

The German attack on Verdun
has again swung to the east of the
Meuse. following the assaults Of
Saturday night on the French po-
sitions west of Fort Vaux. but the
French war Office reports, was I'M
able to gain ground.
At the same time the French po-
sitions near Forts SOuville and
Tayannes, south of Fort Vau1,
were bOmbarded heavily. Paris
looks for severe struggle for pos
session of Fort SOuyille, to which
the bOmbardment may be prelim-
mary. Should the Germans cap
ture the fort they would open
breach in the French defenses
which might compel the French
to abandon this entire line and fall
back on the inner defenses on the
right bank of the river.
West of the Meuse the only de-
velopment of the night was q
heavy artillery action in the vicin-
ity of ChattancOurt
The spectacular Russian adj
vance in Galicia and Y0lhynia ap-
parentiy has not been checked, al
though few details Of the campaign
are permitted to come to light.
Vienna comedies the withdrawal of
Austrian troops in northeastern
BukOwina, where the advance of
the Russians has brought them
within Il miles OF the capital,
CzernOwitZ.
The sinking of two more neutral
merchantmen is reported. The
Swedish steamship Emmy has been
destroyed by a mine off Falsterbo,
with the loss of five men. The
. Norwegian steamer Bur also has
been sunk, whether by mine or tor
pedo is unknown. Fifteen men
from the Bur have been landed at
Ymuiden. Holland.
The gigantic offensive of the
Russians against the Austrians
continues along a front of more
than $50 miles. In the last 10 days
the Russians have taken more
than 100000 Austrians prisoners
and have captured many guns and
enormous quantities of war SUD-
plies. The Russians have cap
tured Lutsk and Dubn0, great
fortresses. in the V0lhynian, tri-
angle held by the Austrians and
are pressing the retreating Aus
trians westward. On the Styr
river south of Lutsk, the Austrians
have made stubborn resistance and
great battle is in progress.
Heavy bOmbardments are going
on around Verdun between the
Germans and French. In the VI
cinity Of Ypres the British have
been again heavily sheiled by the
Germans.
The Italians claim to have re-
nuIsed the Austrians with heavy
losses at Monte fMerle. The ltal-
ian cabinet has resigned as a re-
suit of the refusal OF the chamber
of deputies TO give vote of conf
dence in the government after it
had failed 10 pass the budget OF
the ministry OF the interior.
British troops in German East
Africa have captured two towns.
