D ANNUNzIO MAY
Be TOLD To QUIT

Paris, Sept. 20.-Capt Gabrielle
D'Annunzio may be given twenty
four hours to move his forces out OF
E'iume, upon which city a squadron
of allied warships have turned their
guns, according to advices received
here by way of Berlin, Laibach and
Vienna. It is indicated that this ulti-
matum will come from the allied
powets, representatives of which are
reported to have conferred at Abbazia,
about two miles northwest of Fiume
TO which place they retired when Cap
tain D'Annunzio entered the latter
city.
In peace conference circles II is in
timated the settlement of the question
of the disposition of Fiume has been
complicated by the DAnnunzio coup,
but Italian delegates insist decision
is being delayed because of the fact
that President Wilson has not an
swered definite proposals made by
Italys representatives here. Ameri-
cans assert the Italians are constantly
changing the detail of their offer and
that for this reason an answer has so
far been impossible.
Advices from Rome say that the
Duke of Acosta, a close friend OF
Captain D'Annunzio, has conferred
with King Victor Emmanuel and Pre-
mier Nitti and it is suggested he may
act as mediator in an effort to bring
about an abandonment of Fiume by
the D'Annunzio forces.
Fiume is closely blockaded by land
I an sea, but there are stores in the city
sufficient to maintain the people ano
TROOPS for three months. Captain
| D'Annunzio is reported to have witt
/ him many members of his famous
| aerial squadron which fought on the
Austrian front during the war. This
Italian government, however, has or
dered the magnetos of airplanes at al
aviation camps removed so that nj
more machines may go to Fiume.

ference with coal industry of southern
Colorado. Idleness at the steel plant
will cause less demand for coal from
the company's twenty producing

mand for the closed shop and other
union contentious may be put for

comes and they are called upon for
supporting strike.
A late copy of the industrial bull
letin of the fuel and iron company
furnishes statistics concerning the
earnings of coal miners in one month
this summer, when not all the men
worked full time. In five typical
mines LISP labored over twenty days.
Being paid by the ton produced, and
not by day wages. their earnings large

TRADING AUTOS GETS
A MAN INTO TROUBLE


East Las Vegas, N. NJ, Sept. 90
Trading in automobiles has gotten
Bert Meredith into trouble with the
law and caused Encarnacion Sandoval
of Watrous a good deal of bother. Ac-
cording to the story, Meredith traded
a Dodge car 10 Sandoyal getting in
its place a Studebaker machine and
$3.50. Later it was discovered that
the Dodge was the property OF man
named Osmund of the Globe OIL COM
pany of Wichita Falls, Tex,
In the meantime Meredith had sold
the Studebaker to an Italian in Trini-
dad for $500. Meredith has been
brought back here upon request of
District Attorney Ward. having
waived extradtion. The Trinidad Ital-
ian has attached the Studebaker car
to hold it, and the officers have taken
the Dodge. so that all Sandoval holds
is the sack, though eventually he
doubtless will get his car and his
money back.

CHIN LANG CHUN IS GUILTY IN
 2ND DECREE
(From Tuesdav's Daily

----- (trom Tuesdays Daily.)
 If Chin Lang Chun killed An Fee, and jury in the superior court last night said he did, he. committed the crime just in time. Had he waited days, he would have stood trial under the new statute; the referred law, that prescribes the death penalty for murder in the first degree, and severe penalties for murder of the second.
 Chin Lang Chun is guilty of mur- der of the second degree.
 The killing took place the night oi December ?, 1918 and on the 5th, the new law went into effect
 , It was adjourning time when the attorneys concluded their arguments. The case was prosecuted by Count> Attorney Neil Clark and defended by Robert E. Morrison, both of whom made eloquent arguments to the jury. Judge Sweeney instructed and sent the jury to its room about sup. per time, and the representatives of the law and the defendant were sum moned about three hours later to lis ten to the verdict which was signed by w. L. Jones, as foreman.
 Chun was accused of having shot An Fee in the latter's laundry al Clarkdale. It is supposed the motive was either jealously over An Fees good looking American wife, or dis putc over a matter of $250O said to have been owed by Chun to Fee.
 One of the features of the defense was the alleged alibi built up by Chun and another Chinaman named Chin Wing Yee. It was outweigh | ed. however by the dying declaration of Fee, who accused Chun, and i -tun's alleged confession to Corouet | C. w. Bennett the morning after the

Arriving yesterday from Big Bug creek, Captain John Kinney reported scenes like those of long ago, as the placer mining industry is being re vived. .---.. -.
 Scattered along the creek were a dozen placers in action, and many freely admitted they were making better than copper wages"
 The reason for this pronounced ac- ton is that cold weather has held back the snow in the mountains that is slowly thawing and water is abund- ant for weeks to come for sluicing Several locations had been stripped previously and now they are being worked ill lively manner.

 Lund says his iwife, since their marriage at Florence in July 1918, has shown a keen temper. She be. gan misbehaving after their arrival at the home of the husband at Jerome. Mrs. Lund failed to find the place at. tractive and failing to induce her spouse to move. she began a series of exhibitions of temper and cruelty In fact, it is alleged the lady swore.

So, she departed. and is now living in Tucson. The plaintiff, who Is represented by !. E. Russell NYants completes arestora- ton to his status as single man.
