Ilarahan bridge across the Mississippi
river here, nine "sandhogs" were
Hiuotherod to death toda. The scene
was so shocking when the caisson in

to the surface, that several spectators
' fainted. At noon rescuers were still
after the other bodies.
The accident was due to the striking
of a natural gas pocket beneath the

GOVERNOR'S OFFICE
UNDERGOING F.EFAIE3
The governor's office is locked :
mid closed to tho public, or at least
the room lormerly used by tha gover
nor is, and visitors can now find til
private secretary in room one, lormorl'
used exclusively by the governor 's Rten
ngrnphcrs. This is not caused bv tho
I.MVernor being on a visit to Denver,
'tit by the fai-t that in building the
vault in the room below, which comes
to tho ceiling, it is' necessary to cut
:i hole sixteen feet square1 through tin
i'ioor in tho governor's offico in order
to complete the work on the vault.
Taking advantage of this and the fa.-t
that everything had to be taken froiri
the room, Airs. Hohhs, like every other
woman nt the coming of i-prihg, tied
her head up In" a sling, metaphorically,
of course, and made herself happy by
having a regular house-cleaning time

WILSON REFUSES TO
I
Believes
Sites for Regional
Were Honestly
Banks
Chosen in Capital.
NO RECOGNITION AS YET
Action Beg aiding Eebels Postponed,
Although His Hand May Be Forced
Suddenly.
(BY JOHN EDWIN-NEVIN.)
Washington, April 0. President Wil
son refused today to tako seriously the
criticism voiced concerning the cities
named by the reserve bank organiza
tion committee for regional banks. He
said lie believed tho selections wero
honestly mnde and that they had been
decided upon after a complete investi
gation regarding actual trado, capitali
zation and the exchango methods of the
banks of each district.
President Wilson also indicated that
he believed the selections would stand
and would not be upset by the federal
reserve board when that body is named.
Just when the board will bo designated
the president would not say, but it was
not considered likely to bo named for
another fortnight.. Tho president inti
mated that he had no hand in the se
lection of the reserve cities, but said
he, believed the selections were sound.
Ho took the position that while the
cities turned down wero undoubtedly
greatly disappointed, ho was confident
much of this would disappear when tho
new law was actually in operation.
Recognition Mar Coino Soon.
Reports that the government intend
ed recognizing the Mexican rebels were
characterized as premature by Presi
dent Wilson. He indicated that cir
cumstances will determin tho action
that he shall take in the recognition
of any government in Mexico, lie also
indicated that his hand may be forced
suddenly, but said, that otherwise bin
policy would bo one of non-rocognition
until nutnblo governmenf had been
established. , . ..
No Information had reached Wash
ington today concernincr tho renorted
action of President lluerta in revoking
tuc consular designation of tleorge
CnrotherH, who is representing tho state
department with General Villa. It was
believed that Huerta hnd taken this
action, but President Wilson indicated
that this made no difference, inasmuch
as Carothf rs was operating exclusively
in constitutionalist territory.

Inrgest oiiantity of election supplies
which has ever been provided in the
history ot the state for use at nil elec
tion occurring therein. These supplies
have been prepared especially fur the
primary clcctl",! of May 15. Some idi a
may be gained of the quantity of elec
tion laws, pell books, tally sheets, state
ments, abstracts, official seals, pencils,
clips and needles necessary from tin
fact that 41 buses weighing, with con
tent:", approximately over six tons, or
12. 1.'I5 pounds comprise the total ship
ment. The quantity of supplies required
for the current primary election is more
than 50 per rent over what was re
quired at the primary election occur
ring in the year 11M2. This is brought
about troin tho fact that the women
having been granted the right of suf
frage, the quantity if election supplies
nc. inly has been greatly increased.
The natural growth in the voting popu
lation in the state has nl.su tn do with
the inrrease, as hns also the fact that
the l'rogressive party is now required
tn riDinmnte its candidate at the pri
mary election. In IV 1 U the number of

Expecetd : Amendment as to

Will Be Modified.
TO CONSOLIDATE BILLS
Three of Them Will Be Included In One
and Lawmakers Handling Them - -v
Are Urged to Hurry.
Washington, ; April 6. Drastically
toned down, revised drafts of the ad
ministration's anti-trust bills will be
submitted to" congress this week, it was
announced today.
The lawmakers who are handling
them have received instructions to
speed matters up as much as possible
but tho opinion was gaining ground
that several of the bills may be shelved
for the sosison and the anti-trust pro
gram curtailed or ucrhaps jeven post
poned in tho'intrests of an early ad
journment, so that congressmen may
get back to their constituencies and
look after their political fences.
Threo of the anti-trust bills, it was
said, are likely to bo compressed into
one. Whether tho labor union and
farmers' organization exemption clause
will be permitted to stand will be de
cided in a few days, it was stated. The
expectation was - that the Bartlett
Bacon amendment, authorizing unions
to make closed shop agreements with
employers would be modifiod, at any
rate by limiting tho unions' exemption
from the oporntion of anti-trust legis
lation to permission for organizations
to exist without legalizing closed shop
agreemnts.

"I wish to say," replied Rocke

"Don't, you think your responsibility
