W|CKENbURG' 5
 5. ]. ]. HEEDED

Thlngs must be getting pretty bad in Wlckenburg. Or it nav be that the town marshal thinks they are due to become had unless he adopts drastic measures. Perhaps there isn't a thing the matter in the busy mining town, and that the chief is just going to make certain that matters will continue Tn the present peaceful state.
 But for all that there went forth 'by express last evening, a strange package the like of which has not been shipped by express out of Phoenix in a long time, if ever.
 That package contained four ancient. put perfectly goods sets of leg irons" Shackles, some people call them, but they are iron jewelry worn on the an kles by persons selected by the law for such honors.
 It all came about through a hurry up appeal from the marshal of Wicken- burg to the police department Satur- day, which in substance said please rush me all the leg irons you can spare And as Chief of Police Brisbois could spare all there are he sent all he had. From the dust and grime of the city hall boiler room, where they had lain for many cobweby months. the balls and chains were dragged into the light of day. A trusty was put at work shining them up and preparing them for resumption of their official duties after long period of inactivity.
 It is believed that. an undesira ble element has been drifting into Wicken- burg recently, and that the police there are determined to get rid of them CT | put them at work on the roads

NEW MINISTER'S ASSUME POSTS
 ASSIGNED THEM
Republican A. p. Leased WIre]

PETROGRAD, March 1S.-(via Lon dOn) ).-With the cementing of the ele- ments concerned in the construction or the new government upon the ruins of the old, the new cabinet ministers have assumed the posts to which they were assigned. Professor Paul N. Mitukoff yesterday received at the for 'eign office the diplomatic representa- tives of the entente allies, after which he entered upon long cabinet con- ference
 One of the first acts of the minister was to notify Russian diplomats abroad that Russia was united in the desire to fight out the war with the allies, the determination to continue the conflict until victory is achieved being stronger than ever.
 The armies in the field have ad vised that the abdication of the emper- or has been enthusiastically acquiesced in according to a foreign office of- ficial Telegrams from virtually all the commanders have been received assuring their support, guaranteed in advance byfGeneral Michael Alexieff chief of staff
 Meanwhile the last vestiges of the empire are disappearing Portraits of the erstwhile members of the imperial families, once seen upon the walls of almost every government office, have been removed. While the correspond ent of the Associated Press was wait ing in an ante room of the foreign min isters office, a liveried attendant mounted chair and quietly took down portraits of the former emperor and empress. The national colors with their eagles have given place to plain red flags, one of which floats over the famous Winter Palace.
 The proper designation of the new government appears to puzzle even of ficials. While of a temporary nature, it is permanent compared with the first duna committee, in the opinion of one official, although it is contemplated 1 that the cabinet heads shall govern only until those elected by a constitu- I tional assembly. shall replace them. l The assembly, comprising 600 members to be selected by popular vote, will de- termine the form of the future govern ment and draft a new constitution. | Confidence is everywhere expressed 1 that under the new government, the country will be enabled to carry on operations upon a much larger scale than before and considerably magnify
 it's efforts toward a speedy termina-
 tion of the war. Endless friction be-
 twee departments and the continual
 fear of the old government that a too
 complete organization might result in
 the sudden growth of popular power
 have left great part of the resources
 of the country inert and useless.
 Probably no revolution of similar
 magnitude ever had a less colorful af-
 termath or was accepted by the people
 so vitally affected with less of dem- onstration. With the exception of g few parades, chiefly in the district o1
 the duna, people went soberly about their business yesterday as if satisfied with a good task well performed.

by tomorrow and a strike averted.
 Persons in close touch with the situ- ation seemed optimistic that some means would be found to prevent a blockade of the nations transportation system, although no one has hazarded a guess as to how it would be done. The prediction was heard frequently that President Wilson would act if the conference ended in a deadlock.
 The president already has appealed to the patriotism of the men and man. agers and it was assumed that his representatives in view of the new in ternational crisis would place addi- tional emphasis on this appeal. An other argument which it has been Te- ported has been brought to bear, is that if a strike takes place the next session of congress will enact stringent legislation to prevent a repitition of the Walkout and that it would give a strong weapon to the advocates of gov ernment ownership which both em- ployes and employers oppose.
 The railroad managers left the hotel at which the conference was being held at 11:S0 o'clock. The brotherhood chiefs were said to have retired. The mediat- orS still were conferring.
 All the parties concerned appeared somewhat optimistic. No announce ment was made as to whether the con- ferences would be resumed during the night.

Theodore Hoemuller. also of PaIral. were the two Germans killed by Villa in that town, was made tonight by Hoemuller, who is a refugee in Fl Paso.

The numbers engaged were not given, put it was asserted that Salazar lost a third of his command.
 The paper made no mention of the situation in southern Chihuahua, where Villa is reported to be ad- vancing after his victory over the government forces at Rosario on the Durango border.
 All of the Mexican newspapers ar irving here give first place to news from Washington relating to the German situation, although the Amer ican attitude toward the Cuban rev olution is closely watched. Tho Heraldo Del Norte prints long ar ticle against what it calls "the lies ot the American press on German ac- tivities in Mexico"

FL PASO, March 1S.-Francisco Villa obtained a large shipment of arms, ammunition and military stores from the west coast of Mexico recent ly and it was these elements that he used to defeat the ,Carranza forces in command of General Francisco Murguia near Rosario Durango, March II. according to a report made by government agents at Washing ton. An investigation is now being made to ascertain how Villa obtained these supplies. Villa was said to have been on his way to the coast from Parral, when he was reported to have been ill with pneumonia in a cabin near San Andres, Chihuahua.
 Partial confirmation was also re- ceived here tonight of the report that a prominent German, said to have been a nobleman, crossed the border near here, went to the vicinity of Parral where he held a conference with Villa and offered to supply him with arms and ammunition. It was immediately after this conference that Villa, with a picked body of 300 men, left for the Pacific coast according to the report.

 See Mir. Lane," they said.
 While no official information was available, there was reason $o believe that the mediators who are acting as Representatives of President Wilson, had asked for no further postponement of strike at the expiration of the 4S hours truce which expires at o'clock tomorrow night, if no agreement is reached in the meantime.
 The agreement reached yesterday will avert hostilities between the men and their employers if the supreme court hands down decision tomorrow declaring the Adamson eight hour law constitutional The railroads have agreed to accept the brotherhoods in depreciation of the law if it's is upheld.
 This would grant them basic eight hour day and pro rata time for over time.
 The questions under consideration today had to do with what would hap pen if the law were declared uncon stitutional or if the court fails to hand down a decision tomorrow. Whether either side had agreed to recede in the slightest degree from the firm stand hitherto taken, could not be learned. The managers have declared they would make no concessions until the highest court acted.
 The brotnerhoods have informed President Wilson. however, that there would be no strike if the country be- came engaged in hostilities and that in any event they would provide train crews to move military and naval sup plies. It was assumed, for this reason. that the crisis resulting from the sink ing of American ships would be em- phasized in the deliberations now go l. ing on.
 While W. c. Lee positively refused to make any statement during the day, he did not discount in any way the op- timistic prediction he made last night that an agreement would be reached
