Perllnlnc with thanks the offer of 309 first and prT-orlri.clans panders to act volunteer fireman on the Olympic for her voyage ar-rona the Atlantic, the captain if the White Star liner, after conference with officials of the com pany, decMed to abandon the voyage to New York. All remaining salon pas-aena-ers were entrained for Liverpool, where they will embark tomorrow mornlnr on the L-usltania. One hundred and twenty-one passen gers who were awaltlns the Olympic at Queenatown have been, transferred to the Baltic, which will leave here today for New York. Fourteen hun lred eacks of mall which were to have been forwarded by the Olympic will be held at Queenatown for the Lusltanla. The Cunarder Is likely to reach New York ahead of the Baltic, and for this reason the mail will be Intrusted to her. eaaea C harared With Matlay. The seamen deserted the Olympic this morn Inc. This earn the strike a more serious aspect, beyond the incon venience to the traveling public, as the seamen, havina; signed for the voyace, have now laid themselves open to the charse of mutiny. Immediately follow in the walkout the White Star offi cials appealed to the authorities, with the result that the Olympic's whole complement of seamen, numbering 61. were arrested when they came ashore. All these seamen. inrltidinK six quar termasters, were arraigned In Police Court at Portsmouth, charred with mutiny. They pleaded not fruilty and were remanded for trial next Monday. The court accepted ball for their ap pearance. The National Sailors' and Firemen's I'nlon repudiated the action of the strikers, who are said to have been advised by the Seafarers- organization which recently withdrew from the par. ent body. Crowds of seamen and nre men thronjted the docks throughout the day and many of these condemned the action of the strikers. The dis tress In this port is already great In consequence of the loss of so many heads of families with the Titanic and today's events will perceptibly add to the hardships. Mm Replace rlreaaea. The firemen of the Olympic struck Wednesday five minutes before the vessel was due to sail for New York. Their whole grievance was the alleged failure of th company to equip the steamship properly with lifeboats. Rub lequently a deputation of union fire men witnessed a test of th llfesavlng apparatus and. being satisfied with the same, a r reed to return to work. Meantime, however, their fellows had dispersed, leaving word that they would not rejoin the ship unless IS firemen who had remained aboard then the others left ere discharged. This concession was refused by the company, which said It would lay up the Olympic rather than suffer coer cion. Officials of the line forthwith becran to recruit a new force of firemen from Sheffield. IJverpool and Portsmouth, and yesterday announced the Olympic would sail at daybreak today. This morning tugs containing tv firemen to replace the strikers came alongside the Olympic and were putting the new men aboard when the seamen struck. They declared they would not worn with non-union men and promptly clambered over the ship's slde Into the waiting tugs. Cralaer 4astala Warms C rw. Captain Haddock appealed, for as sistance to the cruiser Cochrane, whose commander boarded the steamship and warned the crew that any of them tak ing part in the strike after having signed fcr the trip would be guilty of mutiny. This had no effect upon the seamen, who proceeded to shore. Here they were met by a strong force of police and placed under ar rest, on the ground that their presence in town under the circumstances might lead to disorders. Later the strikers were haled Into court. When the helplessness of the Olym pic became known a steamship was dispatched hence for Ryde to take off the saloon passengers. who were brought here pending arrangements for their transfer to other vessels.

OS WEST COAST OF will occur, hut Saturday. April 2T. Is the date nine out of ten of the Liberals, some of them close to General Orozco, believe will mark the beginning of the advance to the south. General Orozco probably will visit the camps south of here tomorrow and he and General Salazar. who doubtless 111 be In direct command, will make their final plans for closing In on the government army directed by General Victorlano Iluerta. There is prevalent a feeling that the federals will not offer battle, but will fall back on Bermejlllo, Mapiml and Torreon. Should they do so, there is doubt if there will be any battle at all. The Liberals know that the govern ment has placed a quantity of artillery at these points and Orozco probably will adhere in that case to his original plan of besieging the federals. Reports from Zacateeas. Jalisco and Durango are that there are tbnisands of men In that region ready to act un der orders of the Chihuahua General and. with these and the 6000 or S000 who could be taken from this state, he probably would be able to starve the loyal garrisons into submission.

VAUDEVILLE WAR NiGH KEITH BUYS SITE AT LOS AN GELES XKAK OKPIIEVM. Eastern Theatrical Man Comes West to Invade Territory of Martin Berk. LOS ANGELES. April 26. (Special.) The guns of a big new theatrical war were heard booming Just over the horizon today when representatives of B. F. Keith bought a magnificent site In the heart of South Broadway's "white lights" for 1450,000. On this Keith is to build a $500,000 theater. Keith's position in Eastern vaude ville is similar to that of Martin Beck In the West. Beck startled all vau deville followers last Winter by bold ly Invading Keith's territory, then New York and Chicago, and beginning work in the Metropolis upon his new palace, designed to be the world's greatest variety temple. Keith ordered Beck out of New York and Chicago, with a threat or Invading the Western territory- After a bitter clash. Beck assented to a 20-year ter ritorial agreement, provided New York be made neutral ground. This was the breaking point with Keith. Sites were bought in San Francisco and other Orpheum centers.

GRANT IS SURVEYED Japanese Looking Over Big Mexican Concession. HOLDINGS ARE EXTENSIVE Nipponese Morgan Is Backer of Col onization and Fishing Enter prise Obtained Through Diplomatic Channels. SAN FRANCISCO. April 26. Present conditions at Magdalera Bay, Mexico, are reported as follows In a special dis patch to the Examiner from an expedi tion of three staff correspondents: "An extensive concasslon of timber and agricultural lands, accompanied by a grant of fishing rlgr.ls for 700 miles from Manzanilla to Salina Cruz, was ob tained through the Japanese Ambassa dor to Mexico last year. Thirty Japan ese scientists are now on the ground, making elaborate surveys, among them Katsuyo Tago, official representative of the Japanese government. The con cession was made to a private company backed by Solchlro Anno, president of the Oriental Steamship Company, and a wealthy banker." It is explained that an expedition of three men was sent to Magdalena to investigate reported purchases of Mex ican lands by Japanese interests, after the matter had been brought up by a resolution in the United States Senate asking President Taft for full Informa tion regarding the supposed purchases. The dispatch Is printed as a report of the findings of the expedition, and de clares that the explorations of the Mex ican coast are being made under the direction of men directly ' connected with the Japanese Government. The account continues: "This scientific survey Is under the personal direction of Itpey Yokayama. a member of the Japanese Parliament, vice-president of the Japanese-Mexican Fishery Association. Incorporated in November to develop the fisheries and colonize the islands of the concession. In the party Is Katsuyo Tago. as the official representative of the Japanese Government. Solchlro Aaano, the 'Jap anese Morgan," president of the Orien tal Steamship Company, Is the financial backer of the colonization and fisher ies enterprise.

SPOKANE. Wash.. April 28. An agreement was reached today by rep resentatives of the shippers and con sumers of Spokane and the transconti nental railroads, adopting a schedule of rates to be used pending the rehearing of the Spokane rate case by the United States Supreme Court next October. The compromise tariffs are lower than the rates now in effect, but high er than the rates found to be reason able by the Interstate Commerce Com mission in Its tentative decision of 1910. The agreement must be ratified by the County Commissioners of Spokane County and by the Spokane City Com missioners, who are parties to the Spo kane rate case. It is expected that they will ratify the agreement imme diately. The principal proposal, as submitted by the railroads, set forth their will ingness to take the rates found by the Interstate Commerce Commission to be reasonable in the Utah Cases, as a ba sis for the new Spokane rates. By the acceptance of this agreement the shippers specifically waive the right to ask better rates of the Interstate Commerce Commission at the hearing set for May 8. At that time they are to assure the Commission that they have accepted as reasonable the tariff offered by the carriers. Rntes Exceed 11 ah Tariffs. The distance between Omaha and Salt Lake City is about 1000 miles and be tween St. Paul and Spokane about 1500 miles. Considering this feature, the Spokane rates, as agreed upon, are from 4 to 9 per cent higher than the rates as found to be reasonable in the Utah case. Taking the Missouri River-Spokane rates as 100 per cent, the rates from other points will be in the following proportion: Mississippi River points, 112 per cent; Chicago and common points, lit 2-3 per cent; Cincinnati-Detroit common points, 125 per cent; Pittsburg-Buffalo common points, 130 per cent; New York common points, 140 per cent. The acceptance of the compromise rates, it was agreed, is not to prejudice the lontr and short-haul ease now in the Supreme Court of the United States and set for reargument October 15. Reparation Ce Not Dropped. It Is also agreed that the acceptance of the compromise Is not to mean the dropping of the reparation cases, in which the shippers are suing the rail roads for the refund of alleged over charges In all westbound shipments made In the last two years. This suit is for 12,000.000. It is be lieved, however, that if the shippers are successful in these suits the amount recoverable would be reduced 30 to 50 per cent. The railroads made a further conces sion io writing by agreeing that Spo kane will be entitled to lower rates when the Panama Canal is completed. The carriers also hate agreed, orally, to hold another conference within the next few weeks, for the purpose of tak ing up with grocery and drug Jobbers the proposal of establishing carload commodity rates from the Coast.
