FORCED TO CAMP BESIDE RUINS
80 Rapid Was the Firm’s Progress that
the Entire Population Confined Their
Efforts Wholly to Saving Food Sup
plies.
New Orleans, June 6. —Duck Hill,
Miss., a town of one thousand inhab
itants, was almost completely de
stroyed by lire Wednesday, according
to a dispatch to the postmaster here.
More than 800 inhabitants were ren
dered homeless and forced to camp be
side their ruined houses.
So rapid was the fire’s progress that
the entire population confined their ef
forts almost wholly to saving food sup
plies. The was destroyed,
together with part of its contents.
Lockout Is Declared.
New York, June 0. —The four trade
associations of employers in the build
ing trades employers’ association, who
employ carpenters, met and passed a
resolution declaring a lockout of the
Brotherhood of Carpenters to go into
effect today. The lockout will affect
12,000 carpenters in the metropoli
tan district and throw into idleness
thousands in other trades. The lock
out Is to continue until the striking
carpenters in Brooklyn return to work
in accordance with the arbitration de
cision of Justice Gaynor. This de
cision has been submitted to the local
unions for a referendum vote of ap
proval. The voting will occupy some
ten days.
Situation Quiet at the Mines.
Dillonvale, June 6—Situation at all
points in mining sub-district No. 5
was quiet Wednesday. No attempt
was made to start the Mahanna mines,
and it is now said they will probably
not be opened before next week. No
trouble is apprehended at Bradley. At
Plum Run additional nonunion miners
went to work. One company of mi
litia attached to the fourth Ohio reg
iment arrived from Bueyrus Wednes
day and the Seventh regiment reached
here later. While more troops are
not needed, it is the intention, it is
said, to mobilize the soldiers at this
point and order them in camp for a
ten days’ outing.

timent in favor of the endorsement of
William Jennings Bryan for the Demo
cratic nomination in 1908 is notice
able among the Democrats of Indiana,
gathered here for th'; state convention
which will be held tomorrow. Indica
tions are that a strong Bryan resolu
tion will be incorporated in the plat

will address the Democrats at a mass
meeting tongiht.
Caused Animated Discussion.
St. Paul, June G. —An animated and
somewhat bitter discussion opened the
convention of the general federation
of women’s clubs today. The cause
was the rigid enforcement of the rule

of the minutes. Many delegates com.
plained that they were shut out from
hearing the opening part of last night’s
musical program because they were a
few minutes late.
Italian Overseers Murdered.
Pietermaritzburg, Natal, June (L —A
report was in circulation Tuesday that
300 natives employed on a railway

ing been confined to natives, and that
no Europeans were injured.

ORDER RESTORED
AT MEXICAN MINE
So Says Signed Statement to
The Associated Press.
GENERAL REVIEW OF THE FACTS
Governor Yzabel, of Sonora, and Gen
eral Torres, Commander of North
ern Zone, United in Signed State
ment to Associated Press.
Los Angeles, Calif., June 6. —Gov-
ernor Yzabel, of Sonora, and General
Torres, commander of the northern
zone, have united in the following
signed statement to the Associated
Press:
“Ronquillo, Mexico, June 5. —Since
day before yesterday, order has been
re-established and public tranquility is
increasing more and more every mo
ment in this mining district. A re
view of the facts which have happened
is as follows:
“On the first day of the month a
group of workmen, all Mexicans, aban
doned their work, declaring a strike.
Going through various departments of
the business they induced other work
men to join them and went to the lum
ber yards, where entrance was denied
them by the superintendent of the of
fice by Mr. Metcalf.
“A conflict resulted. The Americans
threw a stream of water from a hose
upon the Mexicans, and in the riot
the American Mr. Metcalf, was killed,
the office and lumberyard were burned
and two Mexicans died. A general
disorder followed. The American em
ployes of the concern armed them
selves and their partisans on one
side, and the strikers on the other, the
result being three Americans killed
and ten Mexicans., The night was
passed in comparative tranquility. On
the second dayN hostilities were re
newed, but the announcement of the
coming of Governor Yzabel contribut
ed somewhat to calm the minds of all.
The governor came at 10:30 a. m.,
went through the town accompanied
by Colonel Greene, president of the
mining company and two otther per-
They found a number of frou uu
sons representing the government.
They found a number of groups of
excited Mexicans who listened to the
warnings of the governor, but kept on
their arms. In the same way the
American employes of the company re
mained armed. In the afternoon, and
\ without any known reason, there was
I a new disturbance, and firearms were
discharged in various parts of the
town, as a result of which two of the
Americans and six of the Mexicans
were killed and a number were
wounded. Governor Yzabel endeavor
ed to repress this disorder, but he did
not have the force to do it, inasmuch
as among the Americans and Mexicans
there were more than 3,000 men, many
of them armed. The local police force
was tireless in the discharge of its
duty but it was small In number. In
the afternoon of the same day at 2
o’clock there arrived 43 rurales and 30
guards of the fiscal gendarmes. The
night was passed in relative quiet
ness. On the morning of the third
day, 70 men of the federal forces ar
rived and 20 of the national guard.
General Luis E. Torres came on the
third day at 7 a. m., having proceed
ed from Torrin Rio Y&qui where he
received the news. Immediately af
ter his arrival he joined the work of
the governor, seconding all his efforts.
“We repeat, that order has been re
established, and publio tranquility is
more firmly established each moment.
Since the night of the aecond instant,
an order was issued that disarmed
everybody who was carrying arms —
Americans and Mexicans alike, and
some arms have been seized. Yes
terday and day before yesterday pass
ed without the slightest sign of distur
bance. Business has been resumed,
and more workmen are returning to
the mines and shops. For tho infoi*
mation of persons whom you serve
with news, we state thaf the popu
lation of Cananea la something more
than 20,000 people, scattered in vil
lages stretching over the valleys and
foothills for a length of six miles.
(Signed) Louis E. Torres and Rafel
Yzabel.”

COTTON REPORT
DECLARED CROOKED
Great Wrong Done to Planters
of the South.
AN INVESTIGATION IS DEMANDED
Representative Ellerbee Says, in De
manding an Investigation by Con
gress, that Report Was “Cooked” to
Show Big Acreage.
Washington, D. C., June 6. —The es
timate of cotton acreage by the de
partment of agriculture has resulted
in a demand that the reports on which
this estimate was based be sent to
congress.
Representative Ellesbee, of South
Carolina; President Harvie Jordan, of
the Southern Cotton association, and
others, will call upon President Roose
velt Wednesday and ui’ge that he take
a hand in an investigation into the
methods resorted to by the depart
ment.
It is claimed by Representative El
lerbee that the figures given out by
the department are not warranted by
the reports sent to the department.
He asserts that there is nothing In
these reports to warrant the estimate
of increased acreage.
Late Tuesday afternoon he introduc
ed in the house the following resolu
tion :
“Whereas, the department of agricul
ture on June 4, 1906, made an esti
mate of the area of land planted in
cotton during the current year; and,
“Whereas, it is believed that this
estimated acreage is far in excess of
the area actually planted in cotton,
and is not warranted from the returns
received by the department of agricul
ture from its correspondents.
“Resolved, That the secretary of
agriculture be, and is hereby difiect
ed to furnish to this house at once the
tabulated sheet showing the estimate
of acreage made by the seven classes
of correspondents, viz.; -the field
agents, the state agents, the corre
spondents, the ginners, the special cor
respondents, and the individual farm
ers.”
Mr. Ellerbee asserts that he knows
of his own knowledge, having gotten
It from a person who saw the reports
received by the department, that there
is nothing in them to warrant an es
timate of an increased acreage.
In speaking of his resolution and
what called it forth, Mr. Ellerbee said:
“I introduced the resolution because
I have direct and positive information
that the returns received by the de
partment of agriculture have been ma.
ipulated to the great injury of the
soulh.
"The department has seven sources
of information from which this esti
mate is made. It has about 85,000
correspondents in the cotton bolt, and
it is fair to say that information from
such various sources will, on the aver
age, be more refiable than that from
three or four field agents who may
be influenced by personal considera
tion, as others have been in the past.
“I charge and can prove that tak
ing the most numerous class—about
GO,OO individuals scattered all over
the belt—their returns show a de
crease in acreage from last year.
“I further charge that, taking all
sources of information except the
three traveling agents, the increase
would be immaterial.
“I charge that the department is
unable to show any returns from its
correspondents justifying the absurd
increase which they report in Okla
homa and Indian Territory, and ven
ture the assertion that the increase
reported there is double what the
figures will warrant.
"Judging by my own state and the
state of North Carolina, I am sure that
the estimate of the department is in
correct.
“I believe in president Roosevelt’s
courage • and hqfciesty. If he wants
to give the south a square deal, let
him send for these figures and look
at them for himself, and when the
committee of agriculture Is presented
with the facts they will feel so out
raged at this prostitution of justice
and this evident manipulation of fig
ures that there will be no hesitation
In unanimously passing this resofti
tion. When the truth is known the
world will be staggered at department
al audacity.
“It was impossible for the south to
Increase its acreage materially on ac
count of the scarcity of labor, and be
fore the Ist of next October the world
will realize what a mistake has been
made.”

Motor-Car Divorce
By LOUISE CLOSSER HALE
A BREEZY and deliciously humorous motor-car romance —the
fact that the hero and heroine are man and wife makes it
no less a romance.
Mrs. Ward, a believer in the theory of the ten-year C
contracts advanced by George Meredith, goes with her indulgent
husband on an automobile tour through France and Italy for tne
purpose of securing a divorce on the grounds of “ incompatibility
of temper,” which, in reality, do not exist. It takes another woman,
several accidents and the automobile to bring Mrs. Ward to her
proper senses.
