DOUGLAS, June 6.-MeXican Of
ficials. military and civil, declare that
the present monetary crisis in Sonora
is grave and unless immediate adjust
ment is obtained by General Gales an
archistic conditions are bound to en-
sue General Gales was expected to
reach HermosillO today for a confer
ence with Governo Adolfo de la Huerta,
out Of which there will come either
solution of the financial problems or
definite break between Gales and
Venustiano Carranza, de facto presi-
dent of Mexico.
The feeling in Aqua trieta and other
parts of Northern Sonora is bitter
against both Carranza and De La
Huerta, who is recognized as Carran
za'S agent Officers of the de facto
army in Aqua Prieta are quoted as
saying if General Gales decides to
break with Caranza he has more than
$4,000 well armed msn IN Sonora and
4 Northern Sinaloa who will follow him.
/ General Gales left Aqua Prieta last
night unexpectedly, after spending
Sunday and Monday sending many tel
egrams to Carranza and General AL
varo Obregon, Mexican minister of war
! Late Monday afternoon he came to
a sudden conclusion, as he sent his
bodyguard of one hundred men to Naco,
/ Sonora, by automobile. At the same
time he ordered special train to meet
him there. About nightfall, without

had previously made, he left hurriedly
with his personal staff by automobile
for Naco. Soon after his arrival there
he boarded the train for Hermosillo.
Arrivals today from Cuchuta and
Fronteras say that the de facto sol

paid in the new Carranza currency

in the currency, tore it up spat on it

claim to have been eye witnesses
The commissary department is also
affected and the food reaching the
troops is of inferior quality and small
in quantity.

Thirty Are Drowned

MEMPHIS, June AT least thirty
persons are believed to have been
drowned when the river packet Eleo-
more Capsized in the Mississippi TWEEN
ty miles north of Memphis last night
in the storm which swept the central
Mississippi valley. OF approximately rs
passengers and crew on the steamer
when it was overturned by the wind
only 10 have been accounted for
The Eleonore tied up last night in
a remote spot to escape the tornado
that swept the Central Mississippi val
ley. A heavy gust of wind drove the
craft into the bank and it overturned.
Many of those aboard were in the
cabins and between decks at the time.
A relief vessel left for the place of the
accident tonight. The Eleonore was a

Thirty or More Dead

POPLAR BLUFFS. June 6.-Thirty
or more persons were killed and at least
IS were injured in a storm that swept
this section today. The damage to
crops and buildings is estimated at
hundreds of thousands of dollars
The storm first passed through OK
ley, where several barns and light
buildings were torn from their founda-
tons. At Stoddard, however, the
storm had gained in intensity, and. in
addition to those killed three persons
were injured so seriously they are ex-
pected to die.
] William Simpson and wife, of Poplar
/ Bluffs, who were killed, had passed
Z the night at Stoddard after attending
the funeral of Mr.. Simpsons mother,
held there Monday.
| Two men injured at Sikeston prob
! ably will die They were struck by
flying timbers.
| Bud Bond, of Bernie, was killed by
/ lightning while asleep. His wife was
uninjured.
Owing to crippled wire service the
news of many reported deaths in the
rural districts cannot be obtained. The
storm was general and it is feared later
reports will show heavy loss of life.
At Stoddard, 20 miles east of here,
seven were killed and two injured
seriously. At Moorehouse, thirty miles
east, two were killed and nine hurt.

PREACHING Sedition

CHIHUAHUA CITY, June 6. = A
Mexican giving his name as Luis San
chez Mena, was arrested by military
authorities here today on a charge of
attempting to Obtain promises from
other MeXicans to aid Americans in
the event of American Intervention.
Military authorities say Mena con-
kssed and that he is being held for
trial by court martial. Efforts to OBJ
tain further details of the case are
futile.
Reports here today from Major Leo
poldo Trevino, in the Laguna district
tell of the execution of Pedro Jacques
and Arcade Luna, caught looting
ranches three weeks ago, while Cen
eral Jesus Novoa reported from San
band, whose leader was shot publicly
at Escalon last month, have surren-
dered with their arms. Other reports
received from General Ignacio Ramos
said that after a short skirmish ban
dts under the late Villista general, Bel
tran, who were driven out of the Rio
Florida district, had taken refuge in
| the passes of the Cerro Del Pine.
General Trevino today issued orders
| to General Carlos Ozuma to move his
headquarters and part of his forces
to LampaZos Coha, leaving Genera

terey.

to consider any name other than Colo
mel Roosevelts. To offset this condi-
ton the name of Senator La Toilette
was brought forward. The republicans
Immediately rejected it and charged
the progressives with insincerity in
presenting the name of a candidate
they were unwilling to accept them
selves.
At that point the progressive man
ayers turned the tables and demanded
that the republicans bring forward Il
name. The republicans responded by
suggesting former Senator Burton of
Ohio, arguing that he could unite the
support of all the favorite sons draw
strength from the pacifist element and
had incurred no enmities among the
foreign born voters. The objections of
the progressive managers to Mr. Burton
were voiced by Governor Johnson of
California

and many of these, it is said, cannot
survive.
Heller Springs, resort town Of
1000 inhabitants on the Missouri &
North Arkansas railroad suffered
most severely. Twenty five persons
were killed and more than 100 injured.
Eight of the injured are believed
likely to die. The storm swept up a
steep hillside in the western part of
the town, demolishing twenty homes,
Most of the dead were killed in the
ruins of their homes.
1t is feared that the list will grow

mote communities are heard from A
telephone message from Conway to-
night said it was reported that 40
were killed or injured at Cato. near
there, but it was impossible to get in
communication with that town.
Near Delark, in Dallas county, the
entire family of Mr. and Mrs William
Woomack persisted in the storm in
Guiding their two daughters and one
son. Robert Woomack, a nephew
started for Delark to buy collins for
the five bodies. He never arrived and

he has been a fugitive in his own
country with a price of $1,000 on his
head, offered by the state of Texas.
The information that reached General
Funston indicated that de la Rosa
would not be more than two or three
days at the most in getting to the
border. If raiders strike again there
in Zapata country little injury to the
! residents is anticipated because with
the exception of one or two families all
are MeXicans.

/ horses and mules could be comman-
deered however. General Mann has at
Laredo and in its vicinity one squad
of cavalry, a regiment of infantry and
battery of artillery. 1t is from this
force that he has dispatched addition
al patrols eastward.

Mexican Prohibition

DOUGLAS, June 6.-Thirty women
residents of Nacozari were arrested to-
day on the charge of selling liquor con-
trary to the Sonora state law.
If proven guilty, the women will
serve Jail sentence of not less than
sixty days, according to Ives G. Lele-
vier, de facto consul here.
Consul Lelevier said that a number
of soldiers had been sent to Nacozari
to work as detectives; the arrests fol-
lowed. Similar punitive expeditions"
as General Gales termed them, were
sent on orders from Gales to Cana
nea. Nogales, Hermosillo Guaymas and
other towns Of the state where women
were reported to be violating the pro-
hibition law. Many arrests are expect
ed within the next few days.

NEW YORK. June 6-Hint of
lcssiJle compromise was found in the
discussion today between representa-
tives Of continental railroads and their
45c.ycU employees who are asking fo-
better working conditions and increas-.
ed wages. After the employees had
stated their case. the railroad men
defined their positions. Speaking for
the railroads. Elisha Lee chairman OF
the conference said:
The present schedules of pay and
conditions are the lowest possible
rate; your proposition is the highest
level Between these two This thing
is bound to be settled"
Asked later in the day, what signif-
icanee they attached to Chairman
Lees utterances, Mr. Stone aud Mr..

declared that it was plain the rail-
roads were striving to effect a com
promise. They would not discuss the

the extremely radical clements which
would do anything for conservatism 5
sake and nothing for eXpediency. The
former element composed largely OF
active business men are inclined to
continue the efforts to bring about an
affiliation with the republicans The
other clements demand the accep-
lance of Colonel Roosevelt as the only
basis of compromise. They go so far
as to say that even if Mr.. Roosevelt
should endorse the candidate of such
a man as Justice Hughes the pro-
eressives would proceed with their
I convention and nominate, not Colonel
Roosevelt, but some other leader. for
/ instance. Governor Hiram johnson or
/ Clifford Pinchot
! The varying councils thus indicat-
/ ed have been urged upon the former
/ president by his followers, and it is
surmised that they have had much
! influence in causing him to remain
silent. During the evening word was
/ circulated that Colonel Roosevelt had
manifested a disposition to follow the
advice of the progressives at any
cost and the general opinion was that
nothing would be heard from Oyster
bay favorable to any republican as
| piring to the nomination.
The uncomfortable quality of the
progressive convention lies in the
fact that in point Of numbers it is a
can convention.
Many of the delegates TO the prog
ressive convention are unSchooled OF
averse to the ways of parliamentary
practice and political management and
are intent on voting for Colonel
Roosevelt and no one else In some
cases they are openly disappearing the
dealings of the progressive leaders will

to the convention the progressive dele

10 be tantamount to placing Colon

Roosevelt in nomination. Many expect
a tremendous demonstration there,
threatening to sweep aside all attempt
at delay. How far this view prevails
is illustrated by the fact that Clifford
Pinchot Victor Murdoch, Henry J..
Allen and other progressives at con-
ference agreed that nothing short of a
demand for delay from Colonel Roose-
welt himself should stand in the way of
his immediate nomination.
In all the negotiations for harmony
between the two sides the republican
managers consider that their position
has been strengthened by the fact th2t
all along they have been ready to pc
sent for discussion list of candidates,
any one of whom could command the
support of the others. This fact ad-
mttedly has been embarrassing to the
progressves who found themselves

The Turn of the Wheel.

How the wheel of fortune sometimes turns
person from the top of success and wealth to
the bottom of misfortune and misery is illus
trated in the following story from New York
city:
An old waiter, gazing out of cafe window
of the Hotel Majestic Seventy street and
Central Park West, Sunday afternoon, caught
sight of man shoveng snow from the sidewalk
on the Central Park West SIDE Calling the at
tention of Copeland Townsend, manager of the
hotel, to the man with the shovel, he asked:
isn't that the gentleman, who with his
family, occupied the suite on the seventh floor
ten years ago."
Mr.. Townsend agreed and went out to speak
to the man. The walters assumption was correct
Ten years ago the snow shoveler was a successful
broker here who, before living in the hotel,
resided in West End avenue
The man, whose name Mr.. Townsend was I'M
willing to give, went to Alaska on gold mine
venture. Luck went against him. Two years
ago he returned to New York and obtained a
position which he lost at the opening of the
war. Since then he has been living from hand
to mouth but always cheerful
Mr.. Townsend says he hopes to find some
thing better for the man to do than shovel snow
His wife has been living with her parents in Ohio.
This broker has taken his medicine like a man.
Instead of trying to live off his former friends,
he is trying to make living doing the most
mental kind of work. Despite his fall, he still
has the stuff in him that tells of sound manhood
and good character. A shift of fortunes smile
may rob man of his wealth, but the.shift does
not mean that man must lose his character and
his cheerful outlook on life because he has lost
his money.

How to Lose Indiana

Having been trounced in the Indiana primar-
les, James E. Watson announced that he would
fight in the Republican convention for the nomi-
nation to succeed Senator Kern 1t was char
acteristic piece of insolence on the part OF this
member of the old standpat crowd that brought
defeat and division to it's party Rule or ruin
was and is the motto of men like Watson, as the
1912 convention proved.
But Watson may be able to avoid the desper-
ate course he planned. The death of Senator
Shively gives two senatorial places to fill, and
Watson, of course, will avoid reputation of the
primary and go after the Shively vacancy.
He should be suppressed. Indiana ought to be
carried by the Republicans in November, and we
believe will be unless the party organization ind
Gates it's unrepentant standpattism by putting up
Bourbon like Watson. If it is assumed that
because progressives have gone back into the
party they are ready to swallow any candidate,
there will be a great awakening the day after
election What was selfish, impractical and SEN
timental in progressivism has been left behind.
But sound Repubcanism, which never sympa-
thized with Bourbonism and reaction, will not
adopt them now.
Victory in November cannot be organized by
the men who in 1912 deliberately organized
defeat.-Chicago Tribune

A New Contraband Order.

Great Britain has refused to let typewriters
pass to neutral countries, when they are billed
to Germany or Austria. Makers are protesting
to Washington, but everyone knows that will
bring no relief. British schemes to paralyze the
central powers are devious and hard to under
stand. No one believes that typewriters are
needed to smash the Russian steam roller or
crumble the Verdun forts. The reports of the
generals at the front to the general staff are so
concise that no one believes they need American
typewriters which to chronicle their victories.
American typewriters have enjoyed good sale
in Germany The curtailment of their import
merely gives the German manufacturer better
opportunity to sell his.

ptal welfare service. Their opinions after the
first days work have been summarized by New

Heavens, how my feet ache. I'll certainly
never be an hour and half buying thing when

If hundreds of persons who harrass the nerves
of sales people in Richmond with foolish ques-
tons and needless delays in making up their
minds to buy could stand behind the counters for
day, they might learn how vexatious it is to
sell yard of cloth or a spool of thread to a
crank.
