J. Genardini, or aiding therein, in a search without a war rant for a rebel leader, whom they designed to take into custody.

Holderness is acting adjutant of the regiment. He and his fellow officers are said to have acted under instruc tions from Colonel Guilfoyle. The arrests are the result of the at tempts of the Mexican authorities to utilize he United States army officials after the county and state authorities had refused to act. A few days ago the county authori ties were asked to arrest Joaquin Ea- quera, a supposed rebel leader. The county authorities refused to issue a warrant or make the arrest. Mean while, it is alleged. Colonel Guilfoil, commanding the Ninth cavalry, had received orders to arrest any rebel leader found on American soil. STEAM TURBINE EXPLODES; THREE DEAD, 6 WOUNDED Newport. R. I.—The explosion of the forward end of the port turbine, together with the steam chest, on the torpedo boat destroyer Walke, off Brenton’s reef lightship, killed Lieu tenant Donald P. Morrison, the chief engineer, and wounded eight others, two of whom, J. W. Rumpf and H. L. Wilder, both machinists mates of the first class, died on the hospital ship Solace. E. B. Crawford, gunner’s mate, of the destroyer Patterson, one of the umpires named to watch the speed tests of the Walke, and John Delaney, a first class fireman, of the Walke, were said to be in a critical condition. Others injured are : Lieutenant Robert L. Montgomery, of the destroyer Fanning, and umpire of the speed tests. D. S. Kelley, chief machinists' mate. W. E. Kraus and F. B. Conway, oil ers. The explosion came just as the Walke started on a full-speed test, in company with other destroyers. The discipline of the crew is said to have been perfect, and their conduct in leaping down into the steam-filled engine-room to carry out their wound ed comrades brought the highest praise from their superiors. Lieuten ant Charles R. Train, the commanding officers on the bridge at the time, handled the situation in a way to gain personal commendation from Rear Admiral Hugo Osterhaus, com mander of the Atlantic fleet. BREAD AND BUTTER EXTRA. New York Hotelmen Also Stop Split ting Sirgle Portion*. New York—With butter selling at 41 cents a pound and flour at $6 a barrel, the hotel men of New York have'decided that their patrons will have to pay for their bread and butter now by portion, just as if it were an entree. So if you want bread and butter with your meals now it will cost you ten centB extra, that being the price agreed upon by the members of the Hotel Men’s association. Moreover, no more single portions of anything are to be served to two persons. From now on only one plate and one set of knives and forks go with a single order. By these little economies hotel men figure they can save a large Bum an nually. The hotels that have actually put the “ten-cent bread and butter” plan into effect include the Plaza, Im perial, Park Avenue, Waldorf, Bres lin, Astor, Manhattan, Prince George, St. Regis, Victoria, Martinique and Louis Martin’s. Coal Miner* on Strike. Great Falls, Mont.—Pending action on the proposed new wage scale pre pared at a conference of mine owners and representatives of the United Mineworkers of America last week, every coal miner in Montana walked out Wednesday.

J.—Announcement was made at the closing session of the American Road congress by H. E. Batcheler, chairman of the executive committee of the American Automo bile association, that automobile man ufacturer* of the United States had agreed to contribute one-third of one per cent of their gross returns during the year 1913 for the good roads cause. This will create a fund of $15,000,- 000, he said. Congressman I* Killed. Fostoria, O.—Representative Carl O. Anderson, of Fostoria, O., was killed here when an automobile in which he was riding overturned near this city. INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AND PROGRESS OF OUR HOME STATE SHOWS STATE'S INDUSTRIES. DEEPER RIVER IS TOPIC. Map* In Forthcoming Book of Great Albany Call* Conference ot Valley Statistical Value. Citi** on Subject, A valuable statistical description of the state of Oregon, its resource* aqd its industries, will be provided in a booklet now being prepared under the direction of the Oregon State Immi gration commission and its chief offi cer, C. C. Chapman, state immigra tion agent. The first edition will be out about ¡November 1 and will be 500,000 copies. This book will be the first reliable record or condensed statistical com pendium of the resources and indus tries of the state that ha* ever been prepared. Every figure and state ment will be based upon data which has been obtained from every availa ble source of national, state and local record*, and will have been rechecked several times and revised to present date, so far as possible. The only illustrations will be 13 maps showing complete statistical di rections upon the following public themes: Educational institutions of the state, creameries, cheese factories and condenseries. precipitation map, map showing the distribution of pop ulation by counties, map showing rural population distribution, a com pendium of the forest reserves in Ore gon and separate maps locating the distribution of swine, horses, dairy cattle, beef cattle, minerals, railroads and fruits. Each of these maps will cover half a page in a 92-page book with pages sized 5j by 8J inches. There will also be brief descriptive articles upon the soil, climatic and geographical qualities of Oregon, written by eminent authorities upon those special lines. The book has been arranged by Lester Davis, of Salem, who has served as active ed itor. Many of the maps and figures were prepared by the department of animal husbandry at the Oregon Agri cultural collgee. The pamphlet was designed primar ily to benefit and inform the prospect ive Oregon immigrant, but will be for free distribution within the state, and will serve as a valuable reference book for everyone. It will be bound in paper and be fit for use as a text book in the public schools. Many ap plications have been received already by the commissicn from persons who knew that the book was in the process of production. Their names will be placed upon the waiting list prepara tory to the first distribution. Issuance of the book and an appro priation of $25,000 to cover the cost of publication was authorized by an act of the 1911 legislature. How ever, there was no provision in the bill making anyone responsible for the disbursement of funds, bo Governor West refused, temporarily, to release the funds, although he approved the passage. It was not until last April that he designated C. C. Chapman, state immigrantion agent, to superin tend the publication. Since that time the book has been in the process of preparation. The state will pay the cost of distributing 200,000 copies. The Southern Pacific railroad has or dered a purchase of 100,000 for its own distribution and the Hill officials are contemplating a similar order. Potato Harvest Begin*. Albany— A conference of represent ative* of the cities of the lipper Wil lamette valley will be held in thi* city to consider proposed plan* for the improvement of the Willamette river, whether to concentrate all effort* toward the proposed system of locks which will insure a six-foot channel in the river, or to work for the present for the improvements recommended by the United States engineer corps, which will give a 3.5-foot channel. The commercial clubs of Albany and Corvallis have decided heretofore in favor of devoting present effort* to the leaser project, ami. with it com pleted and all-year traffic as far a* Corvallis assured, then working for the six foot channel plan. Commercial bodies of other cities are discussing the question, and this conference has been called to outline a plan of action on which ail of the cities of the valley can unite. The Albany Commercial club, in its meeting, decided to call thia confer ence, and an invitation will be sent out to the commercial bodies of all the cities of the Upper valley. The club will also invite Represent ative Hawley and Major Mclndoe, of the United States Engineer corp*, to attend the conference and outline plans for river improvement. Both have signified a willingness to come. FAIR DRAWS CROWD. Best Product* of Old Yamhill County Ar* on Display. McMinnville — The first day of the Yamhill County School Fair and Stock Show opened here with the largest at tendance for the opening day ever had and the exhibits on display at the pa vilion exceed all others heretofore. Garden products, stock, colts, horses of every description, cattle and every thing that farmers produce came pouring in until late, and many are still to come. Some farmers utilized their automobiles to bring in poultry, large baskets of plants, fruits and every variety of the vegetable kind. And every road leading into McMinn ville was crowded with wagons loaded to capacity with the farmer's “best.” If anyone doubts the statement that Yamhill county is a garden spot he should enter the pavilion for a quarter of a day while everything is to the front. SALMON CANNING ON. Coo* Bay Season Promising With Two Plant* in Operation. Marshfield — The salmon canning season on Coos Bay has started and the run promise* to be a big one. Two canneries will be operated on the bay. One is at Empire and is owned by the Southern Oregon company, and the other is in Marshfield and waa this year purchased by W. E. Tailant, of Astoria. The salmon this year are especially large and fine. About four tons a day are now being brought to thia city, but soon it ia expected that the catch will be much larger. Many fishermen are engaged in the work. The Tallant cannery is trying a new experiment, employing young women instead of Chinamen to do the work. The young women employed were brought here from Eureka. On the Coquille river the run is larger this year than ever before and two canneries there are kept busy. The fishermen wjll make big money this season. La Grande— To accommodate the immense potato crop of the Elgin country, H. H. Weatherspoon is build ing a frost-proof addition to his ware house in Elgin. The addition is 240x 40 feet and will house 410,000 sacks of potatoes. The potato digging will begin at once, and a hundred or more men will be needed to care for the crop.

The result was 68, pounds of potatoes, large, clean skinned white potatoes, which have been exhibited in the Polk county school children’* exhibit at the State fair. But for the fact that a gopher cleaned out one hill a larger yield would have been returned. STRIKERS FIGHT POLICE. Pared* Without Permit Dispersed Altar Flare* Struggle Lawrence, Maae.—Police and para- der* fought with knives and clubs Sunday before a demonstration by members of the lnduatial Workers of the World. Two officer* were (tab bed, several demonstrators were club bed and an Industrial Worker leader was captured after a hard fight and then freed. Two arrest* were made. Carto Tesca, of Pittsburg, an edi tor, who is an organizer of the Indus trial Workers, waa in custody but gained his freedom a minute or two later. Persons who saw Teaca's ar- reat said he waa rescued by comrades. Tesca said the police let him go. All the police professed ignorance of the occurrence. The clash waa unexpected. More than 20,000 operativea met at the rail road station to welcome 700 members of the industrial Workers of the World who had come from Boston to participate in a parade to the graves of Anna Ixipizzo and John Rainay, who were killed in the strike riots laat January. After the visitor* had detrained an impromptu parade started, turning finally into Essex street, the main business thoroughfare. The parade waa informal and no application had been made for a parade permit. The police, notified that the operatives were marching, attempted to end the demonstration. A squad of 25 officers waa sent to Essex and Lawrence streets, where they threw a line across Essex street and awaited the procession. Two large banners were carried by the marcher*. One was inscribed : "The only justice; the freedom for Ettor and Giovannitti.” The other bore the words, “Police and Militia,” and be low, “Who killed Anna and John?” When the head of the parade reach ed the line of officers it halted and an argument began. The police notified the marchers that they must disperse because they had no permit. Those in the front rank were endeavoring to fall back, when suddenly the marchers in the rear pressed forward and the millworkers tried to pass the police. They struck right and left at the offi cers, who responded by swinging their clubs. Many paradera were knocked to the ground. In some instances the marchers robbed the officers of their club* and began to beat the police. The latter were forced to retreat into Lawrence street. It was here that Tesca was seized by officers. Angered by the arrest of their leader, the crowd made a rush for the officers. The police ap peared to be fighting to hold the pris oner, but a moment or two later Tesca was at liberty. In the fight two Ital ians, Sebastiano de Mano and Vitto Ixincasterta. were arrested and taken to the station house. As they were being taken through the door of the station a shot was heard. It appeared to have been fired by Bomeone in the crowd, but the operatives cried out that the police were shooting. Later the crowd was driven through Lawrence street and to the commons, were the paraders dispersed. Fish Cause* Five To Drown. Toronto—Five member* of one fam ily were drowned Sunday in the Pig eon river. The victims were W’illiam McCaffrey, of Toronto, his mother, wife and two children. Mr. McCaf frey and his party started in a canoe down the river in quest of muscalonge. Seven miles down the river the canoe, floating bottom up, was found. Drag ging operations were commenced and all the bodies were recovered. Clutch ed in the hands of Mr. McCaffrey was a trolling line and on the hook was a 14-pound muscalonge. Federal* on the Move. El Paso, Tex. —More than 1000 fed eral troops have arrived opposite Del Rio, Tex., according to Mexican gov ernment agents here. The troops came from Monterey, Mex. Two federal columns are moving south of Ciudad Porfirio biaz, oppo site Eagle Pass. Tex., according to a report received by General E. Z. Steever at Fort Bliss. They are mov ing against the rebel army under Gen eral Pascual Orozco, Jr., who is near Muzquiz, 80 miles south of the border. War Minister Resign*. Ixmdon—A cabinet crisis in Japan, says a Tokio dispatch to the Times, is threatened over the proposal to estab lish two permanent military divisions in Corea. It is reported the War minister has tendered his resignation, and that he is supported by Count Terauchi, resident general of Corea. Prince Yamagata, president of the privy council, is refusing to yield an inch to the argument that the proposal is ¡incompatible with the ministerial program of retrenchment. WOMEN SEE WAR’S HORRORS Many Slain in Three-Day Eight at Managua. Rebels Abandon Assault When Victory Was Their*' for the Taking— Defender* Exau*t*d. Managua, Nicaragua American* in Managua now know what a sickening tragedy a Centra) American revolution ia. They have passed through a month of turmoil, witnessed a three- fl ay battle, and experienced the hor ror* of a bombardment. They have seen the people of the city panic stricken, women and children killed, have borne the sufferings of hunger in a town beleaguered, and have had mi raculous escapes from exploding shells and bullet*. It waa no |>art of Mena’s plan to take Managua by aasHult. General Zehdon, once minister of war under Zelaya, was responsible for that when Mena lay helpless on a sick bed. The bombardment began on a Mon day morning, although Zeiedon had been warned that thousands of Inno cent women and children were In the city. All day the shelling continued, the shells exploding all over the town. By a strange fatality, women and children were the victims. In one house a mother and her four daughters were wounded. A child sitting on a doorstep was cut in two. A woman, with her babe at her breast, running across the street, was struck by a shell and both were killed. One hundred and thirty-six women and children were killed or wounded. The second evening ot the bombard ment a shell hit the room where the president and his cabinet were in conference. No one was injured. A shell exploded in the Interior court of the house of an American official. Four American officials and three ser vants were on either side of the court, but none waa hit. Throughout Monday and Tuesdsy the battle waged, culminating in a sharp attack in the afternoon, when the insurgents broke over the intrench- ments. They were not supported in strength and were killed with ma chete*. Twice again that night at tack* were made in force. Each time the government troop* were thrust back, but Chamorro saved the day by leading reinforcements, which drove the insurgents back. All that night the bombardment was kept up. Wednesday the people were absolutely panic stricken. Thousands fled from the town. Another attack by the insurgents that day would have meant success. The government's ammunition waa almost gone. But the bolt waa shot. Their failure to win after three days’ successive assaults with tremendous losses had dispirited the insurgents and they retired in dis order. POISON IS NEW WAR MENACE. Rebel* With Stol*n Cyanid* Threaten City Water Supply. Mexico City—Death by poison is a new menace, added by rebellious In diana operating about the City of Oax aca, where resident* fear to take a drink of water. Chemists are making testa for poison in the city’s water supply. A group of rebels ia declared to have secured 200 pounds of cyanide from Natividad mining camp, in the Ixtlan district, declaring they would poison the drinking water in regions which nre not under their control. The rebels said they would first use the cyanide to poison the springe at San Felipe, which supply water for the City of Oaxaca. A small band of rebels waa discovered in the neighbor hood of the springs and was driven off by federal troops. The rebel loss is given at 11 killed. From Tiangistengo, State of Mex ico, where a battle was fought Wed nesday and Thursday, the federal* re port they found on the field many rifles with the breech blown out, testi fying to the efficacy of the nitro glycerin cartridges which government agents tricked the Zapatistas into buying. Shingle Mill* Close. Seattle, Wash. — Shingle manufac turers nf Western Washington played a trump card in the fight now on for control of the market, when they closed about 75 per cent of the mill* or an indefinite period. The manu facturers want to demonstrate to the Eastern trade that they have the sit uation well in hand, and that any at tempts to break the price of shingle* will be resisted. F. A. Trail, mana ger of the Red Cedar Shingle Manu facturers’ association, states that the output will be reduced 75 per cent. Woman Leads Rebel Band. El Paso, Tex.—“Coronela” Alia, wife of the rebel chief of that name, is leading a band of rebels east of Juarez, Mexico, according to a report received by Genera) Steever at Fort Bliss.

Airman Callad Brigand*. Geneva, Switzerland — Another stormy acene marked the concluding session of the International Peace con gress. The uproar was caused by a speech by Dr. Gobat, in which the president of the International Bureau of Peace characterized the Italian air men who have been operating in Tri poli during the war as “brigands of the air.” The congress decided to meet next year at The Hague and in 1914 at Marienbad.
