Under pressure by the const.tutional it chieftain, Villa today revoked the appointment of Major Fierro and Col onel Domingue. to the rank of brigadier frenerals and put General Raoul Madero a ml Oreya in command of the two divisions of his troops which Fierro and nomiiiguez were to have led, under him, into Mexico City. Fierro, a close friend of Villa, has a black record for cruelties practiced on federals who fell into his hands and is credited with killing the Englishman .(teuton. Dominguez has also been criticised for big summary method of dealing with ' federal prisoners. Car rnnzn considered that to make them conspicuous under his prospective new government would tend to prejudice foreigners against it.

Mexico City, July 2.'!. There has been an astonishing revulsion of feel ing in favor of Americans here. There were not only no signs today of the hostility toward them which for Home time preceded and continued for weeks after the landing at Vera Cruz, but they seemed extremely popular. There was a feeling of some scureity in the city for the first time since the late President Madero 's death, and plainly it was an immense relief to the jieople. President Cnrbajal was in complete control. Good order was being pre served. The government charged that stories of danger from the Zapatistas were circulated only by a small group of Huertistas. In fact, it was not be lieved there was any likelihood of a successful attack by General Zapata tnd his followers. The war, it was thought, was over. The president has given orders for the replacing of the statue of George Washington, which was torn dovn dur ing the anti-American riots, and the newspapers were insisting that the per son in possession of the effigy's arm. broken off at the time of the dis turbance, return it immediately. On the president 's authority, General Iturbide, governor of the federal dis trict, announced last night that an arm istice tad been signed between the pro visional government and the constitu tionalists, preliminary to the re-establishment of permanent peace. Looks Like Peace. Washington, July 23. Administra tion officials today were seeking con firmation of reports that the several factions in Mexico had agreed to an armistice. It was believed in official circles that the report, if true, indi cates that General Carranza has made certain promises to President CarbajaL The latter has insisted that the lives of federal troops must be protected. Preparing for Change. Washington, July 23. Conferencei for transferring control of the Mexican government to General Carranza will begin at Tampico Monday, it was an nounced here today by Jose Castellot, Provisional President Carbajal's repre sentative in Washington.

THE PUBLIC LIBRARY ROBBED LAST NIGHT The Salem public library was robbed last night of $28.09 which had been col lected in fines by the librarian and left in the building. The robbers pried up a window at the southwest corner of the building, breaking the window latch. The entire place was ransacked and every drawer and file In the- li brary turned out. There was but $5 In the till and the rest of the amount was hidden in small sums in different places about the building where they had been placed by the librarian to await being taken to the bank. The thief found every single cache and made his escape with the entire amount. The librnry was entered one year ago last February in exactly the same manner and robbed in the same way. The librarian had intended to bank to day, but the thief relieved her of any and nil responsibility concerning the funds. There is no clue to the robber. The crime was committed between the closing hour, 9 o'clock Inst night, and 6 o'clock this morning. The sheriff's office was notified, but was unable to throw any light upon the affair.

MUTINY REIGNED AND CRAZED 10 THREW JAP Sikhs Valued Their Rights at One Chicken Each Day for the Trip Home AFTER TWO MONTHS START HOME TODAY Government Delivers Ultima tum and Ship Left the Harbor at Dawn Vancouver, B. C, July 23. In the harbor of Vancouver exactly two months to a day, during which time every trick known to the Indian mind was used to force a landing in opposi tion to the .Canadian immigration au thorities' orders, the Komngata Maru with its 372 Hindus, weighed anchor early this morning, and escorted by Ca nadian cruiser Rainbow, lett the shores of British Columbia, never to return with such an expedition. Last night just when it was believed everything was settled and that the Hindus would leave after the government had pro visioned their steamer, came a flat re fusal from the leader of the Sikhs to leave this morning as arranged. Mutiny again reigned aboard the ship, and in their frenzy the Sikhs threw half of the crew of Japaneses on board the steamer overboard, where they floundered until picked up by the rescuers. . The Hindus had demanded, as the price of leaving, one chicken for each man aboard for every day of tbereturn trip, two cows, live sheep and other things which the government could not furnish. At dawn this morning a government tug went out to the Komngata and handed Captain Yamomota an ultima tum which was at once obeyed and the Orientnls started on their long home ward journey. It is proposed to change Culcbra cut to Gaillard cut in honor of the heroic engineer who consecrated his life to the work there. It would be an honor that was well earned.

Moy er of tho federation had asked for state troops to come to Butte during the upheaval when the Moyer fnction wns ousted from control of the Butte miners' union and its hendquarters dy namited a few weeks ngo. Moyer made a speech to the dele gates, denying that he had asked for the militia. lie snid he merely asked Governor Stewart of Montana to pro tect him personally. Finally the convention voted to hold Mayor Duncan and the newspnper re sponsible.

"A cool million or so," was the amount J. W. Logan said he expected to make from tho timber options he exacted from those he located on the quarter sections of the Oregon & California railroad grant, during his testimony today in the United States district court. Lo gan, with E. J. Sellers and W. F. Mi nurd are on trial charged with misus ing the mails in the location of settlers on the forfeited grant lands. Vuited States Attorney Reames ask ed him regarding the 300 or 400 op tons that he hnd secured from appli cants. Logan had answered that they were probably in his trunk somewhere, and following n wordy exchange, re ferred Reames to his lawyer. "Now, as a matter of fact," Reames asked, "you expected to make a lot of money out of tiioso options, didn't youl" "Oh, a cool million or so," Logan replied in the mest careless manner. "Now that would have been real justice to tho people of Oregon for you to have mado $2,000,000 off of them after the settlors got it," sarcastically queried the government attorney. "Well, thoy would have received a handsome profit themselves," answered Logan. Logan judged that ho had taken 400 or 500 applications for locations on tho grant lands. Without a singlo exception Logan branded as falsifiers those government witnesses who had testified against him. - Success is tho one sin some people refuse to forgive in their friends.

I.UUL MIL CAILLAUX TRIAL MOVES SWIFTLY Testimony of First Wife Shows She Has Keen Enmity for the Woman Who Now Holds Her Place. Paris, July 23. That the defense would introduce expert testimony to snow Editor Oaston Calmetto of "Le Figaro" need not have died of the wound Mme. Henrietto Caillaux inflict ed on him if he had had competent med ical attention, wns rumored today in the courtroom where ex-Finance Min ister Joseph Caillaux 'a wife was on trial for murder. The most olementary precautions, it was asserted by those who circulated this story, would have saved the ed itor, and it was argued that Mme. Cnil laux should not be held responsible for the negligence of her victim's own physicians. The courtroom was packed again to day. Andre Vorvoort, formerly a reporter for "Oil Bias" and now editor of a small newspaper, whose name has fre quently been mentioned in the testi mony Already taken, was among to day's witnesses. Shortly before Caillaux 's second marriage, ho said, the latter 's first wife consulted him concerning the best meth od of securing publication of. letters, which sho declared probably would pro voke a scandal on tho eve of his wed dintf. This testimony had been denied in advance by tho former Mme. Caillaux. Bho wns recalled to the stand, how ever, after Vorvoort had finishod his story and repented the denial with much emphasis, recited the details of her marriage to Cailluux, told of their di vorce and repeated most of her former testimony. Her second examination left no doubt in the spectators' minds that a deep animosity existed between the witness and the present Mine. Caillaux, the prisoner. The two women repeatedly exchanged angry glances and once or twico Mme. Caillaux seemed on the point of interrupting the witness, but restrained hern' If. Andre Lessier, a tax collector, testi fied that he hud heard conservations in the chamber of deputies which' led him to believe that Caillaux 's enemies had private doeumonts which they intended to publish against him but he could not remember Who the persons were who mado tne remarks he referred to. Barthou Recalled. Ex-Premier Itarthou was again a wit ness today, amplifying his previous testimony. Ho was recalled to contro vert Caillaux 's story that ho told the latter his first wife had shown him Laillaux's letters to the second one, reading them to him undor a street lamp. This Barthou did. Ha remembered meeting the first Mme. Caillaux and chatting with her under a street lamp but she showed him no letters and he did not tell Caillaux that she did. Francois lupre, a son of the first Mme. Cuillaux by a husband who pre cedent Caillaux, was another witness. He denied that ho was approached by an agent of " Le Figaro" with an offer of money for the Caillaux letters.

A Sensational Story. Her second story was far more sen sational than her first, constituting one of the features of the heuring thus far. After denying the truth of Ver voort 's testimony, she asked permis sion to read from a sheaf of notes she carried in her hand. This was refused. "I face the task," said the wit ness, in explanation of her request, "of breaking down a mountain of lies." ' ' You are not here to accuse any one," said Fernand Labori, Mme. Cail laux 's lawyer, sharply. "But I am alone," answered the witness, glancing piercingly at the present Mme. Caillaux, who returned her gaze angrily. "I have no husband to defend me.

DANGER OF R Situation Is Alarming; 160, 000 Strikers in Capital; Industries Stopped WIRES ARE CUT AND ALL TRAFFIC CEASES Street Fighting General and on Top of All the Finns Threaten to Revolt Vienna, July 23. That tTie Russian strike situation was gravely alarming the ISt. Petersburg government Wednes day night was asserted in confidential advices roceived here today from the czar's sido of tho frontier. Nows dispatches, as usjial, it was . stated, have minimized the extent and seriousness of the trouble. There seem ed good authority for the belief that it had assumed almost revolutionary proportions. The working men were said to bo rioting in scores of towns.

Htroetcar sys tems were at a standstill, wires were cut and In a number of places factoriea were roportcd sacked and partly de stroyed by their striking employes.

St. Pettesburg was not tho ouly Russian city in which blood was spilled today in fighting between tho troops and Btriking workingmen, according to messages from authorita tive sources from points where disturb ances were in progress. The outbreak appeared to be general throughout most of the czar's European terrorities. From all indications the outbreak was carefully planned in ad vance, tho organizers only awaiting a. good opportunity to revolt. This, they evidently considered, was furnished by the labor troubles in the Baku oil country. Nows that tho newspapers In St. Petersburg and, it was understood, in many other cities, had been suppressed was taken here as indicative of the strenuous efforts the authorities were making to prevent the world from learning the gravity of the crisis.
