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.

MEXICO CITY, April 2. It was
learned here on good grounds today
that a British warship Is en route to
the West Coast to look after the In
terests of British subjects. It Is be
lieved that another vessel will be sent
by Great Britain to the Gulf.
This action. It is understood, is the
result of an understanding of the Eu
ropean powers and it Is believed that
other nations with Interests In Mexico
will follow England's lead.

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

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.

Eastern Theatrical Man Comes West

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. Today's purchase
here sounds the final note of the coming
conflict.

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. The concession was ob.
tained through the Japanese Ambassa
dor to Mexico. Kumajl Horiguchl."

TARIFFS ARE COMPROMISE
Freight Cost Will Be Less Than
Present Figures, but Higher
Than "Reasonable" Rates
Set by Commission.
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.
