 As notice of appeal was given Howat and Dorchy retained their lib- ertv on their original bonds of $2,00o each.
 Judge Frank W. Boss. who sent enced the men,. directed also that they give bonds of s2,0o0 each not to violate again the industrial court law.

 Before sentence was passed Howat made speech to the court denounc- ing his trial and alleging he was not given fair treatment. He said he did not know he was violating the law when he called the strike.
 Late today Howat addressed a meeting of miners in the city park. He vigorously denounced the indus trial court law and Governor Henry J.

 Appended to the motion for a new trial. was an affidavit signed by II of the jurors who found the men guilty.
 The affidavit set forth that leach and every juror expressed himself as absolutely and positively opposed to any such law as the industrial court law and that the only req son they arrived at verdict or that any of them favored a conviction even on the charge of misdemeapor was because they had taken an oath when qualified as jurors that they would be governed by the law as set forth in the courts instructions. and the evidence had it not been for said law. given to them bv the court in said instructions, that not one of said jurors would have made a finding that the defendants had done any wrong''
 The affidavit stated that on the first ballot the jury stood nine for ac- auittal and that a general discussion of the merits of the Kansas industrial court law ensued wherein each juror expressed himself as positively op- posed to any such law. Furthermore stated the affidavit, never at any time did any one in the jury room express himself favorably toward the law. The document concluded by saying that il was callei forth voluntarily and gladly
 The only juror who did not sign the paper was s. l.. Cook of Baxter | Springs.

Your Life Is Not Safe H There Are Rats On Your Premises

The rat is the worst animal pest in the world.
 From its home among filth it visits dwellings and storerooms to pollute and destroy human food
 It carries bubonic plague and many other diseases fatal to man, and has been responsible for more untimnly deaths among human beings than all the wars of history.
 In the United States, rats and mice each year destroy crops and other property valued at over $200.000. .000- : a de Instruction equivalent to the gross earnings of over 200,000 men.
 On many a farm. if the grain eaten and wasted by rats and mice could be sold the proceeds would more than pay all the farmers taxes.
 The Department of Agriculture has issued comprehensive free bulletin which shows how to fight rats and mice. Our Washington Information Bureau will secure copy for any oat who sends two cents in stamps tc pay the return postage.

 WASHINGTON, July s.-Dehate on the soldier bonus bill dragged along in the senate today while the list of senators favoring indefinite post ponement of action on the legislation through recommittal of the measure to the finance committee steadily grew in proportions. Leaders tsaid they were assured of enough votes to put through such a program.
 President Harding will send a spe- cial message to congress on the bonus bill next week and definite action is expected to follow reading of the message.
 Less than a score of senators fol- lowed the days debate. Senator Me Cumber, Republican of North Da:.o- ta, chief proponent of the bonus. led the discussion.

 "Despite the pleadings of the secre- tary of the treasury; despite the ear nest plea of the president not to en- ter into new fields of expenditures, this congress has appropriated mill lions to go into new enterprises. + appears this congress seems bent on spending all of the money that can be raised by taxation.

 The warships were ordered to the navy department, Secretary Denby explained that information had reached the department that labor troubles were probable in the Tam pico district because of the shutting down of American oil activities, due to the new Mexican oil tax and that the warships were ordered to the port to protect American lives and property in the event that that should be necessary. Before the announce ment of the withdrawal e the ships came from the navy department it | had been indicated at the state de- partment that the vessels would not long remain at the Mexican port, be- cause their presence there at this l time would not be necessary.

Bombs were thrown and an attempt was made to set the train afire, petrol being poured on the roofs of the coaches as they passed under a bridge from which blazing material was thrown.

In Dublin, De Valera. Irish republi- can leader. and his Nationalist as- sistants, renewed their conference with the southern Unionists. Earl Middleton, a Unionist who recently conferred with the British prime min ister. read a letter from MT. Lloyd George to the effect that hostilities must cease if negotiations looking to peace were to succeed.
 General Sir ,Sevil MacReady. Brit ish military commander in Ireland. appeared at the De Valera confer ence, and it was not many hours later that the announcement was made at the prime minister's official residence in London. that in accordance with the premier's offer and Mir. De va- lera's reply. arrangements were going forward for the cessation of hostili- ties from Monday noon.
 The king of England has been a leading figure in the developments up to the present, while General Shuts, the South African premier. has acted as the pivot on which the peace movement has turned. There is hope in London, and in Dublin too. that peace must come out of the forces which are now engaged in seeking a settlement.
 Events Move Fast
 Events moved swiftly today both in London and Dublin. Not only has MT. De Valera, contrary to the gen. eral expectation. consented to come to London to discuss with MT. Lloyd George the basis of a settlement of the Irish question that might be reached by the prime ministers pro- posed London conference. but truce has been arranged to begin at noon Monday.
 This has given reasonable assur- ance that the original conference, to which the prime minister invited the Irish republic leader and Sir James Craig, the Ulster premier. will be held.
 The day started hopefully with the king summoning the Ulster premier to conference at Buckingham Pal ace This following upon the king g conference yesterday with General Jan Christian Shuts. the South Af- rican premier. is an indication of the intense interest the king is taking in the Irish problem.
 General Shuts is going to Chequers Court to spend the weekend, togeth- CT with the other premiers of the overseas dominions with MT. Lloyd George. General Shuts evidently is the influence in the negotiations, per- haps something more than mere in- fluence, for lacking his active aid. it is hardly conceivable that even they could progress as rapidly as they did today, and the fact that the prime minister has not stood upon the dig nifty of his office. but seemingly is willing to discuss with MT. De Valera tbe basis for general conference is considered full of hopefulness.
 sMacResdy at Meeting
 The principal events of this impor- tant day, however, occurred not in kLondon. but in Dublin and the most striking was the sensational appear ance of General Sir Nevil MacReady. the military commander in Ireland. at the conference of Eamonn de Valera and leading southern Unionists, after

The reports were based upon Caruso's alleged refusal to sing at a concert given on boardship. MT Zirato said. Caruso's message said in part:
 Officials of steamer Wilson never asked me to sing and if they had I should have refused. as it is not my habit to amuse people under the ex- cuse of patriotic occasion. When I want to show I have not lost my voice I will do so at the proper time and place."
