COWBOYS JOIN IN DEFENSE Archbishop of J5urftnjo, ' Held for Ransom of 500,000 Pesos, Freed on Payment of 000, .Sap piled by Consuls. EL PASO, Tex., July 30.. Officials of the Madera Lumber Company, a Canadian-American corporation which owns a forest of timber, several important towns and mills and controls the Mexi can Northwestern Railroad, appealed today to General Francisco Castro, Fed eral commander In Juarez, American Consul Thomas D. Edwards and in spector of Mexican Consulates Mlg-uel E. Dlebold to send soldiers to protect the little band of Americans at the Madera lumber camp, 200 miles south west of El Paso, who are reported to be threatened with massacre by Mexi can bandits led by "El Mocho" Mar tinez. The lumber company's officials are fearing news of wholesale killing: of their employes. They say that the Americans of their district are in greater peril today than ever before during the three years of revolution in Chihuahua. Messengers were dis patched , on handcars over the north western railroad territory, to learn, if possible, some news of the besieged colony. Cowboys to Join Defenders. There Is no communication with the lumber town, railroad and telegraphic communication having been abandoned nearly two months ago. No word has come from Madera since the middle of last week. Announcement has been made by the American cowboys on the Rablcora ranch east of Madera to Northwestern Railroad officers that they would join the lumbermen in defense of the town. About two weeks ago the cowboys re pulsed a Mexican band in a fight In Tenlente canyon, killing nine of the bandits. The Americans in Madera have armed themselves and are policing the camp. There are six families of American women and children there, besides a dozen single men. M n y Americans In Daranaro. A thousand troops of different de tachments are south of Torreon, but the line Is cut north and south, mak ing the hope of reinforcements from that quarter slight. In reply to the representations of the American Embassy regarding aid for Durango, where there are many Ameri cans, the government has given its cus tomary assurances that it will do the best possible, but there Is little chance that Federal troops will enter Durango for a considerable time. It Is not prac ticable to send them south from Chi huahua. General Carranza is keeping the Federals busy to the east, while help from the south Is possible only after the rebels have been cleared from the neighborhood of Torreon. Archbishop Is Freed. The Archbishop of Durango, who was held prisoner for a ransom of 600,000 pesos, has been freed on the payment of 8000. This sum was furnished by the foreign consuls. The Insurgents, who hold the Na tional Railway, reached a point 60 miles north of San Luis Potosl today and burned thn station a rhirMi well as several bridges south of the xeaerais. This means that at least three detachments of federals are Iso lated at different points between San Luis Potosl and Raltllln Several Americans are employed In ins mines near cnarcos, and the ques tion of their safety has given rise to anxiety. The railway from San Luis Potosl to Tamploo has been cut by the rebels. NICARAGUAN PLAN STIRS (Continued from Page One.) after defraying expenses of the govern ment, shall be inadeauate.

PRESIDENT LIFE IS RESTORED Couple Thought Drowned Re covered by Fisherman. BIG "CATCH" IS SURPRISE Husband and Wife Bragged In on End of Line Are Resuscitated, While Baby Begs Them to Do It Over Again. CHICAGO, July 20. (Special.) An unidentified fisherman, who had been sitting on the breakwater at the foot of Roger Williams avenue. Highland Park, since daylight with indifferent success, was about to quit for the day, Just before noon, when his line sud denly drew taut and nearly dragged him from the pier. Realizing; that he had hooked a tre mendous catch, he kicked his basket of food into the lake and began to reel in, at the same time walking: to- ward the shore to get his catch Into shallow water, .expecting a hard bat tle. Couple Drag-ged Ashore. When the "catch" came into view, it proved to be a man and woman locked in apparently lifeless embrace. As they were dragged ashore a baby girl playing In the sand, shouted and danced with Joy, throwing sand over herself and at the bodies. The baby thought It great sport, and In lisping tones begged papa and mamma to go through the performance again. Telephone messages were sent to the Highland Park police station by llfesavers and a pulmotor was rushed to the beach. After 20 minutes' hard work, both the man and woman were revived and taken into a nearby residence. It was said tonight that both stood a fair chance of recovaiy. ' Undertow Proves Trencher on. They are Mr. and Mrs. John Peter son, of 3841 Lemoyne avenue, and early in the day they had taken Dorothy, their four-year-old daughter, to the beach for an outing. Just before noon they decided to take a plunge in the lake before eating luncheon. Obtain ing bathing suits and leaving orothy playing in the sand, they waded out into the lake, which was exceedingly rough. For this reason they remained close to the breakwater and were un noticed by other bathers and the liie guardsmen on duty. Suddenly the treacherous undertow seized them and was carrying them out when they were hooked by the fisherman. MANY WANT SCHOOL JOB Seven Applicants lor Connty Super intendence In Lane.

WAY NORTH FOR CONFERENCE LAW IS NOT OPPOSED Referendum Against Anti-Alien Bills Collapses. NO PETITIONS ARE FILED Time Limit His Expired and Law Will Go Into Effect in August. California League Decides to Change Course. SAN FRANCISCO. July 20. The Webb anti-alien land law passed by the Leg islature and signed by Governor John son more than two months ago, will become effective August 10, without in terlerence from- tho electorate of the state through the medium of the ref erendum. Time for filing referendum petitions against laws passed at the last session expired today, bringing an end to the threats against the Webb act that have filled the political atmos phere since May. At one time two separate move ments to defeat the act were being planned, one by the Democrats, headed by Theodore A. Bell, ex-candidate for Governor on the Democratic ticket, and one by the Asiatic Exclusion League, which is affiliated with the State Fed eration of Labor. The Bell petitions were never prepared, but the Exclusion League was on the point of beginning its campaign when the executive com mittee rescinded its earlier action and voted to take no steps to prevent the bill s becoming law. The monthly meeting of the Exclu slon League was held today, and the report of the executive committee on the alien land legislation was made public It Is said In the report that the reason the referendum petitions were suppressed was that while the league considers the act wholly inef fective. It Is a "step In the right direc tion." Later, the report continues, the league expects to bring about the enactment of a rigorous law barring Japanese," Chinese and Hindus from both ownership and leasing of lands. The report severely criticises Presi dent Wilson and Secretary of State Bryan for their attempts to defeat the passage of an effective alien land act in Sacramento last May.

Envcr Bey, at the head of the Turkish cavalry, has arrived at Adrl anople, where the BulKnrlan sarrlson of SOOO has received orders not to resist tha Turks. LONDON, July 20. The advent of a new Bulgarian cabinet, comprising a coalition of the Liberal groups, seems to have brought a prospect that peace negotiations soon will be entered Into. After vain attempts to negotiate separately with Roumanla, the Bul garian government, on the advice of Austria and Russia, offered Roumanla an Important territorial concession. Bulgaria also sent delegates to meet the Servian and Greek and presum ably the Roumanian representatives at Nlsh to negotiate an armistice and peace. It is confirmed from Athens that Servla, Greece and Montenegro are all ready to participate in these negotia tions. Turkey, however, has intro duced a new complication and notified the European powers of her Intention to make the River Maritza the new frontier, giving as her reasons that she always has claimed this frontier, but that the powers set the claim aside In order to facilitate and expedite peace. The Porte says it would be prepared to settle the question by diplomatic means, but that the atroci ties and vandalism of the Bulgarians in the occupied territories make it impossible to hope for a diplomatic settlement, and that new conditions arising from the last war between the allies make -it doubly necessary for Turkey to obtain a frontier guaran teeing safety to Constantinople and the Dardanelles. The Porte promises not" to cross the new Maritza River boundary and asks the powers' assistance in establishing it so as to secure durable relations between Turkey and Bulgaria. It is not considered likely, however, that Europe will permit the decisions of the London conference thus to be thrust aside. Fighting of no great importance continues on the Greek and Servian frontiers. In an engagement north of Nevrokop the Greeks captured nine Bulgarian guns. BULGARIAN CABINET NAMED Important Concession of Territory Offered to Roumanla. SOFIA, July 20. The new coalition Cabinet under the Premiership of M. Radoslavoff, the Liberal leader in the Bulgarian Parliament, has been con stituted as follows: Premier and Min ister of the Interior, M. Radoslavoff; Foreign Affairs, M. Guenadleff ; Finance, M. Toncheff; Justice, M. Pecheff; War, General Vazoff; Commerce, M. Blatch off; Public Works, M. Dlmcheff; Rail ways, M. Morphoff. On the advice of Austria, and Suasla the Bulgarian government, with a view to securing peace, has offered Rou mania an important cession of terri tory, which Roumanla has accented. It is announced that an agreement has been reached whereby Roumanla will participate in the general peace negotiations, and tnat she already has sent delegates to Nlsh to arrange" for an armistice.
