U. s. RESENTS MAIL SEIZURES
PREPARING VIGOROUS PROTEST
TO GREAT BRITAIN.
State Department Collecting Mass of
Figures-President Wilson Re-
ported Out of Patience.

Washington, May 16-President Will
son is preparing very vigorous mes
sage to Great Britain on the subject
of mail seizures.
The State department is collecting a
mass of figures showing how far Great
Britain has gone in Selling American
mail. Secretary Lansing declared the
entire subject Of mails lis under con-
sideration." This was taken to mean
that the government plans new pro-
test against the British course.
Demands Passage for U. S. Mail.
The last step In the situation was
the British memorandum indicating a
willingness to make concessions on
some points. Apparently the conces-
sions do not go far enough, and it is
expected this government will be in
sistent upon entire freedom of passage
for United States mail.

MEXICANS BUILD ROADS
FOR u. S. ARMY IN MEXICO
VIliistas Fail to Spread Revolt Against
Americans by Threatening
Laborers With Death.

Field headquarters, via army motor
to Columbus, n. NJ, May 16.-Another
failure of Villistas to spread revolt
against Americans has been registered
here in the employment of 40 Next
can laborers from the town of Las
Cruces at road building under the di-
rection of the Z. S. engineer corps for
the use of the army motor trucks.
When Cervantes, the Villista leader,
entered Las Cruces with some of his
followers recently he threatened with
death any Mexican thereafter caught
working for or selling food to any
American soldiers.
Cervantes claimed to have tele-
gram from Villa, which represented
that Villa had recovered from his
wounds and was returning with 5000
men to attack the Americans. For
some days the power of this threat
manifested itself. But with strong
American patrols this fear passed and
at the hour set by the engineers the
Mexican road makers reported for
duty The pay is better than they
are accustomed to getting.

Laredo, Texas. May 16 - Bandits
wrecked q train and caused the death
of "a persons between Queretaro and

currency was said to have been taken

Jar Awakens Passengers.
The train with the private car of
Charles A. Douglas, consul of CarranZa
IN Washington, attached, left Mexico
City at o'clock in the afternoon. At
2:30 the next morning, the passengers
were awakened by sudden jar and
q terrific defamation followed by vol

MEAL-TIME CONSCIENCE.
What Do The Children DRINK

There are times when mother or
father feeds the youngsters something
that they know children should not
have. Perhaps it is some rich dessert
but more often it is tea or coffee.
It is better to have some delicious,
hot food-drink that you can take your
self and feed to your children, con-
scious that it will help and strength
en-, but never hurt them.
A Yorkstate lady says: Il used
coffee many years in spite Of the con-
yiction that it injured my nervous sys-
tenn and produced my nervous head
aches. While visiting a friend was
served with Postum and / determined
to get a package and try it myself.
The result was all that could be de-
sired-a delicious, finely favored, rich
w colored beverage. Since / quit cof-
fee. Postum has worked wonders for
me.
"My husband, who had suffered from
kidney trouble when drinking coffee,
quit the coffee and took up Postum
with me and since drinking Postum he
has felt stronger and better, with no
indication of kidney trouble.
"You may be sure find it a great
comfort to have warm drink at
meals that / can give my children,
with a clear conscience that it will
help and not hurt them as coffee or
tea would"
Name given by Postum Co., Battle
Creek, Mich.
Postum comes in two forms:
Postum Cereal-the original form
must be well boiled 15c and Csc pkgs.
Instant Postum soluble powder
dissolves quickly in cup Of hot wa
ter, and, with cream and sugar, makes
a delicious beverage instantly. 30c
and soc tins.
Both forms are equally delicious
and cost about the same per cup.

LEADER OF IRISH REBELS RE,
GENTLY GAINED INTERNATIoN-
AL FAME FOR SERVICES
RENDERED BRITISH.
MUCH INTEREST IN CASE;
ADMISSION is RESTRICTED
Crowds Gather Outside Police Court
Long Before Hour For Hearing
Sir Rogers Appears Undisturbed
Irish Soldier Stands Be-
side Knight.

london, May 16.-Sir Roger Case.
ment, who only few years ago achiev-
ed international fame for the services
he rendered his government in the ex-
posture of the Putumayo rubber atroci
ties, is facing the bar in an ordinary
police court for a preliminary examina-
ton to determine whether he should
be held for trial on the charge of high
treason against the same government
in connection with the rebellion in Ire
land. Beside Easement stood Daniel
Julian Bailey, who faced a similar
charge.
Easement Takes Notes.
Easement busted himself taking
notes, indicating that he intended to
have a hand in the presentation of
his defense. He was always self pos
sessed and, as the case wore on, be-
gan to assume considerable assurance.
The prosecution devoted It's atten-
ton to showing how Easement car
ried on the alleged recruiting for his
Irish brigade i'm German prison camps.
Admission Is Restricted.
Not in many years has so much pop
ular interest been manifested in case
before the courts. Long before the
hour set for the hearing crowds began
to gather outside the Bow Street
court, hoping to gain admittance, or at
least to have a glimpse of the man al
legged to have been the moving spirit
in the recent Irish. conspiracy.
Admission was restricted to about
100 persons, including representative
of the press.
Two Defendants on Trial.
In the formal charge Easement is
described as Of ne occupation and no
fixed abode. The charge against both
defendants read:
For that they did between the first
day Of November, 1914, and on divers
other occasions between that day and
the 21st day of April 1916, unlawfully,
maIiciously and traitorously commit
high treason within and without the
realm of England in contempt of our
sovereign lord and king and his laws,
to the evil example of others in like
case and contrary to the duty and al
legiance of the said defendants"
Easement is reported to have made
a long statement to the authorities
and it is believed that the statement
will shorten the hearing before the
magistrate The police court hearing
is merely a preliminary to the real
trial, which will take place later be-
fore a panel of the judges Of the high
court of justice.

Il wish you'd say something to

that you've no idea how hard it is to
wait on him. He's worse than bear

What can / say that will please
him most?" asked the doctor.
"You might just tell him in an off

that they may have to hold a post
norton on him any minute now" was
the solemn suggestion.

To Guard Border Railway.

San Antonio, Texas, May 16.-Major
General Funston and his chief of staff,
Major Malvern Hill-Barnum, have
worked out many details of the plan
for reorganization of the border patrol.
The safeguarding of the Southern Pa
cific railway from here to Ell Paso was
decided upon and as quickly as posi-
BILE troops will be sent to every bridge
along the line. In the event of mill
tary operations on big scale the use
OF that railroad would be imperative.
For great distance the line parallels
the Rio Grande.

FOUNDATION OF BUILDING
UNSETTLED BY EXPLOSION
Tremendous Roar, Echoing Screams of
Dying, Bring Thousands to Scene
of Disaster-Victms Buried I'm
der Pile of Ruins, Steel and
Tons of Brick.

Akron, Ohio, May 16.-Ten persons
were killed, two are missing and a
score were injured when the old Bea-
con Journal building, occupied by the
Crystal restaurant, collapsed as a re-
suit of blast of dynamite in an ad-
joining excavation.
Eight identified and two unidenti-
fed bodies have been recovered.
Battery B, Ohio National Guard field
artillery, was called out to aid the
police in restraining a crowd of more
than 10000 persons who packed the
streets at Main and Quarry, where the
accident occurred.
Roar Brings Out Crowds.
A tremendous roar, echoing the
screams of dying, brought thousands
to the disaster scene, in the heart of
Akron's business district. Instantly
the entire city, railing under the
shock, plunged to the work of rescue.
A great pile Of ruins, broken tim
bers, twisted steel and tons of brick
and mortar, buried the victims, who a
moment before were dining in the res
taurant.
Eight bodies were soon taken out
of the wreckage after firemen, police
and volunteer rescuers had worked
frantfcally digging and chopping
through the debris.
Nineteen Sent to Hospital.
Nineteen persons, many of them
fatally injured, were extricated and
sent to the City and Peoples hospital
Only two or three of the others known
to have been in the restaurant sue
ceeded in escaping before the crash.
Blasts Of dynamite, set off in an ex-
cavation for new building, directly
north Of the restaurant, unsettled the
foundation.
The first body to be dug out from the
tangled heap Of debris was that of
little Mary Lawson. Fremen dug her
out, revealing deep cash on her neck,
where she probably had been strangled
to death by the. edge of the table fall
ing on her.
A piece of bread that she was eat
ing was still clutched in her hand.
