Washington. May 22.-Anthracite op.
orators and miners were warned Satur-
day by President Wilson that there must
be no strike in the anthracite coal
fields during this critical period in the
readjustment of the country.
Writing to the members OF the joint

Quoting negotiations for two months, the
unable to reach an agreement he would
insist that the questions in dispute be
submitted to the determination cf q

that work be continued in the mines

frlendS.
Assassinated as Prisoner.
Early dispatches from Mexico City
said the former president had been
killed in an attack led by General Her
zero. who had gone with Carranza IN
flight, but later deserted to the revolu-
tionists. The announcement made at
headquarters of General Obregon. head
of the revolutionary movement. gave the
impression that CarranZa had died IN
battle.
Later advices received in Ell Paso
charged that Carranza had been made a
prisoner and assassinated in "cowardiy
manner" and said some of the friends
who were with him at the time mad
sent protest to General Pablo Con-
zales.
'srhere were found six or seven more
bodies of the men in Carranza's party"
said one message from Obregon. 1t
is not stated who these men might be.
Old Prophecy stirs Mexico.
The full story may not be imme-
diately known and even then may be the
subject of dispute. In any event 1t adds
one more drop to the river of blood
which has flowed over Mexico since
Porforio Diaz signed his abdication 10
tears and died a heart broken man in
Spain.
But it does bring to mind prophecy
said to have been made by nun. which
is now being talked about all over Mex
ico. She prophesied, according to. re-
port. that after Mexico had seen three
Franciscos in public life she would have
for president an old man with beard
who would meet violent death. and
that he would be succeeded by a presi-
dent who mounted his horse from the
wrong side. The prophecy also added
that thereafter Mexico would lose its
The Three Franciscos.
There have been three Franeiscos in
Mexico's public life since the prophecy
was made They were Francisco de Ia
Barra, now an exile: Francisco ]. Ma
dero, the murdered president of 1913.
and Francisco ella. the bandit leader.
Carranza was well known for his whis-
kers. Obregon, who led the revolt
against him and is expected by many to
succeed to the head of the government,
lost an arm in the battle of Celaya with
Villa, and mounts his horse from the
wrong" side.

Car Family All Dead
According to Sisters
Affidavit on Estate

London. May 22.-Stories which have
been current regarding certain members
of the Russian royal family having es-
capped the massacre in which the former
ear met death would appear to be dis
posed of by an affidavit filed in the Lon
don probate registry by Grand Duchess
Xenia Alexandrona, wife of Grand Duke
Alexander Michaelovitch and sister of
the late czar.
The grand duchess has been living
in London and letters of administrator
had been granted her for the English
estate of the former czar totalling 500
pounds. The affidavit of the grand
duchess asserted that the czar "died on
the 18th of July. 1916, at Ekaterinburg
and adds that he died intestate ''leav-
ing no widow or child"

Dent in Freight Jam
Made by Nationwide
Efforts to Relieve

Washington. May 22.-The edge np-
parently has been broken off the nation
wide freight jam through joint efforts
of the railroads, the Interstate Com
merce Commission and shippers.
Advices from the principal congested
sections showed a slight and continued
decline in the number of loaded cars
awaiting movement.
Despite more hopeful views OF the
situation, however, officers of the as
sociation and railroad men said roads
were so badly showed under that it
would take weeks, perhaps months, to
get hack normal.

Chicago Tribune Special Dispatch to
Great Falls Daily Tribune.
Chicago, May 22.-When Rudolph
Behounek and Emil RychiIck were
buddies in the trenches In France,
the only letters they received were
from their sisters. Each had one
sister, and there was some tall boast
ing about how splendid these sisters
were. Rudolph and Emil fought the
Heinies and the cooties and mud and
hunger and lodged bullets together,
and In their loneliness talked much
of their sisters.
One day 1t occurred to them to
switch. Rudolph was to write Emirs
sister, while Emil was to pen miss
i've to Rudolph's sister. After that
both soldiers received letters much
more frequently and when the bud
dies came back, Anna and Blanche
met them at the station.
Anybody can guess the rest OF the
story. Rudolph and Blanche and
Emil and Anna are to be the princi-
pals In double wedding May 26.
