When Mr. Batea set out for the East with his party, mostly school teachers, ho and the others had the Idea that the Liberty Bell Is a nation al relic, in which the people of the Pacific Coast have the same Interest and control as the city of Philadelphia, where the boll reposes. The Philadel phians, however, produced their proof to show that the Liberty Bell in In fact the property of the city of Phila delphia, having been purchased by th« city away back in Revolutionary times. This necessitated a change in the tactics of the young women, and in stead of making a demand that the bell be sent West in 1916, they used their artful wiles on the hearty mayor and on the hundred-odd members of the Philadelphia city council to con vince them that Philadelphia, in the interest of patriotism, ought to allow its treasure to I mi carried across the continent. In the party headed by Mr. Batea are Marvel Ramey, Net Perce, l<owis county, Idaho; Laura M. Dawson, Voltage, Harney county, Or.; , Ethel M. Hutchcroft, Yamhill, Or.; Nett R.

Mayor Blankenship extended a cor dial greeting to the young women, who pointed out that by the taking of the bell on a journey to the Pacific (oast thousands of school children along the route would have an oppor tunity to gaxe on the relic. The mayor replied that hie last doubt had been removed, and said that in so far as it lay within hie power he would help along the project. He ex plained that the city council, rather than the mayor, had control of the bell. However, as the matter must await the election of a new city council, no definite answer can be had until next winter. The members of the Bates party are satisfied they have paved the way for a favorable decision. HEAT KILI«S 51 IN ONE DAY Sudden Torridity Causes Suffering East of Rockies.

OJEDA’S SLOWNESS IS OFFSET Federal« Make Up for General’s Failure to Advance. Mexico City—The failure of General Ojeda to advance against the rebels in Sonora, and the acquisition of various towns, including Durango, capital of the state of Durango, during the past week, has been offset, according to the government, by the recovery of a few places by the Federal* and by the work done towards re-opening the railroads in the North. Troops are supporting the workmen and the National railway has been re paired within 70 miles of Saltillo and north of Monterey to Villaldama, but tho activity of the rebels a short dis tance on either side indicates that the road will be cut behind the troops be fore trains are operated. The line from San Luis Potosi to Tampico was cut in four places Mon day. Rails were loosened at other points and several trains were wreck ed, one a military train. Half the railroads in the ¿republic were out of commission. Torreon especially is suffering from a scarcity of provisions. THREE ARE GUILTY OF ARSON Members of Chicago “Arson Trust” Promptly Convicted. Chicago- Edward and Paul Covitx, former woolen merchants, and Joseph Clarke, a public fire insurance adjust er, were found guilty of arson by a jury which returned a verdict in the Criminal court Monday. A motion for a new trial will be made by attorneys for the defense and a date for arguments will be set. The agreement of the jury came as a surprise. Both counsel for the state and defense had expected a disagree ment because the jurors had deliberat ed 20 hours and 25 minutes when the verdict was reached. Two jurors, it was said, held out from the beginning to acquit Clarke. The defendants were in court when the verdict was read. The Covitx brothers almost collapsed, hut Clarke appeared unconcerned. The former said their nationality was the cause of the conviction. The convicted men were not taken into custody. The brothers are under >40,000 bonds and their co-defendant on 575,000 bonds, and the surety probably will be allow ed to stand until the motion for a new trial is disposed of. The convicted men were the first of 40 alleged members of the "arson trust," recently indicted, to be tried.
