.Yaquis Give Notice
ofMurderousR Raids
Set For Next Month
Republican A. p. Leased WireI


NOGALES, Nov. 8.-Yaqui Indians
recently looted the Gotares mines be-
tween San Xavier and Tonichi, Sonora,
according to advices received here to-
night. The redskins had previously
cut the telephone wire to Torres and
San Xavier, where Mexican federal
troops were quartered. The raiders
left a note addressed to Americans,
warning that next month the Yaquis
would start Campaign of assassina-
ton" and blaming the Carranza gov
eminent for provoking such a cam
paign.
The note follows, in part;
81 hereby make known to all citizens
of Sonora that on September Is, 1919,
my general gave me orders to warn
all inhabitants in the state of Sonora
to beware, as General Espinez is CIV
ing orders to open a campaign against
the enemy.
ION December next we are going to
start assasslnating. We shall not care
whether the victims are men, women
or children-we must kill all alike.
For this reason, before anything hap
pens, we are advising you because we
do not want to kill anybody. We are
friends of the whole world, but the
soldiers of General P. Elias) Gales
arrived in Topolohampa (Sinaloa) and
assassinated men, women and children
and we can do the same.
For this reason, you will have to
excuse me, as this is not my fault, but
that Of the Carranza government and
Of the invaders Of our country. II
these invaders do not leave the Yaqui
river we cannot be good brothers,
with affectionate greetings.

PROBE BODY INDS
RADICALS BEHIND
BIC STEEL STRIKE
Republican A. P. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, Nov. S.-Refusal of
Chairman Gary, of the United States
Steel corporation, to meet union rep
resentatives and the determination of
the American Federation of Labor to
organize the steel industry, rather than
any complaint of the steel workers
themselves, brought about the steel
strike, in the opinion of the senate
committee which investigated the con-
troversy.
In it's report submitted to the senate
today, the committee characterized all
strikes as industrial barbarism." and
recommended establishment of a
permanent mediation board similar to
the former war labor board as means
of settling industrial disputes. The
board should have. the committee said
powers of compulsory investigation adj
hitting 1t to all facts, but compulsory
arbitration was not recommended,
The committee summed up its
findings as follows:
THAT laborers in the steel mills had
just complaint relative to long
hours of service, though wages were
satisfactory.
THAT they had the right to have
representatives of their own choosing
to present grievances to employers,
though possibly the representatives
should come from the industry af-
fected.
THAT behind the strike there was
massed considerable element of l. w.
WIS, anarchists, revolutionists and
Russian soviets."
Remedies suggested by the commit
| tee included:
THAT congress establish a commits
sion somewhat of the nature of the war
labor board with wide powers, though
not with the power of compulsory ar
| bitration.
That an arbitration law be passed
requiring the effective education OF
foreign and native illiterates
That congress consider ways and
means of extending aid to workmen
seeking to buy their own homes.
THAT naturalization laws be
amended so as to provide for the de-
portation of aliens who fail to Learn
English within five years.
That congress enact Legislation
dealing with anarchists, revolutionists
and all who would destroy the Ameri-
can government"

No VACAT|ONFOR
IGNITE MINERS

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo, Nov.
S.-The situation in the Pixies Peak
ignite field has so far cleared up that
there is no danger of a fuel shortage
operators say. Work at the keystone
mine was resumed today, and 1t is
announced that the Klondike mine will
reopen within the next few days.
Union miners at the city coal mines
have decided not to lay off tomorrow
or Tuesday, armistice day, but to pro-
duce as much Ignite as possible to
meet the local demand. One hundred
men now are at work at these mines.
n. Fontechie, organizer for the
United Mine Workers, declared his ar
rest on a charge of violating the in
dustrial commission act, undoubtedly
had acted as deterrent to the activities
Of organizers in the southern fields.
Fontechio's preliminary hearing will
take place Monday, William Reilly,
member OF the state industrial COM
mission, who is here to attend the
hearing, said tonight that the COM
mission is not anxious that these men
be punished so much as to ascertain
definitely the validity of the law. 81

WITNESS SAYS PAN
ENGINES ARE GOOD

CHICAGO, Nov. S.-Five of the new
model Pan engines mounted on chassis
made good records in road tests two
weeks ago, Victor Gauvreau, designer
of the engine, testified today in the
trial of 10 officers of the Pan Motor
company for misuse OF the mails in
selling stock.
He said that Pandolfo had asked him
to produce a reliable engine and a
sturdy car with high clearance, low
center of gravity and short turning
ability and that this was the kind Of
car he did produce.
Attorney Brewer, Of the defense,
brought out evidence to show that the
length of time taken to develop the
Pan car was no longer than the time
used in developing any other new
model of car. Some of the excellencies
of the new motor as explained by the
witnesses are the light piston, COM
pactness and large valves.

Bob Keeps Silence While My Anger
Terrifies Me and insults My

A sound from Daddys door made us

Morrison had heard my hysterical
giggle. Bob hurried to join them and
closed the door between us. | heard
the clock chime again before their con-
versation ended.
Nobody spoke, when Bob came out

attention to me, but dear old Daddy
saved the situation. He kissed me,
and fused over my cloak, and put me
into Bob's car.
II struck me that he was terribly
distressed. I couldn't think it was al
together about Babs, since in the early
evening, Daddy had declared that we
would have her back next day.

But Bob never gave me an opening
He never said a single word all the

the mad words which went racing
through my brain. I had deradful
time keeping them from spilling over
my lips. Mad words, indeed. they were

testable letter to Bob:

ayes" leading role of "euddies

Everyone knows the magnetic
personality, and although personal
magnetism is oftener ascribed 10
women as a feminine" characteristic
than it is to men, l think it is even
more important in men than in women.
In a man, magnetism is that charac-
teristic which corresponds to charm
in woman. like a charming woman
and magnetic man.
The man who has magnetism is
human, he is able to appreciate q
woman, he can laugh when a laugh is
called for and be serious when the oc
casion demands it. He understands
a woman" as have heard it put. He
is the kind of man to whom a woma~
feels instinctively drawn. one in whom
she feels that she can put her trust.
1t is difficult to describe magnetism,
but every woman knows the quality
in a man when she meets with it.
The magnetic man is able to appre-
ciate wife-something that so many
husbands Lakeland he is likely to
wear better" on acquaintance than
most any other type of the male.
Therefore, L think this quality is most
important in picking a husband.

.Sh0W Reason For
Seeking Reduced
Rates On Freight
Republican A. p. Leased wIreT

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Nov.
8-Witnesses for the shippers who
seek an adjustment of freight
rates from eastern points to the
intermountain territory continued
to give testimony at hearing be-
fore examiners of the interstate
commerce commission here today.
Chief testimony was given by
n. w. Pritchett, representing the
Utah traffic service bureau and
Leonard Way, rate expert of Idaho.
Testimony given by Way was
questioned by Seth Mann, repre-
sentine the San Francisco cham
Der of commerce and j. NJ. TesIe,
of the Portland chamber of COM
merce.
Way told the examiners he did
not believe in graded freight rates
for every side track but believed
a change from the present system
was necessary. Under the priv
ilege system, he said, freight rates
from the east to the intermountain
territory were the same as those
TO Pacific coast points, in some
cases hundreds of miles farther
west.
The hearing will be resumed
Monday.
