BREAK IN
NEBRASKA
IKE RANKS
LA FOLLETTES COLLEAGUES SHY
AT PRESIDENTIAL BOOM
INSURGENTS TO STAND BY TAFT
Attitude of Cummins One of Big Sur
prises Line of Division Be
tween Brown and Norris
Plainly Marked
Washington Demoralization among
the insurgents is complete following
the discovery that Senator Cummins of
Iowa has determined to cast his lot
with President Taft for another nom
ination as against Senator La Fol
lette When La Follettes friends be
gan to count noses in the senate they
found that they were few in numbers
The only senators who could definitely
he counted upon to stand by LaFol
lette to the end and carry their fight
for him to the floor of the next repub
lican national convention were Bourne
of Oregon Pointexter of Washington
Bristow of Kansas and Clapp of Min
nesota There is some doubt about
Works of California that senator not
having made his position clear as yet
Senator Brown of Nebraska together
with eight other insurgents has de
cided to line up for Taft in 1912 This
break in insurgent ranks is disconcert
ing to LaFollettes friends
It is taken for granted here that
Representative Norris will be a candi
date against Senator Brown in Ne
braska Mr Norris has voted against
Canadian reciprocity Senator Brown
will vote for the measure in the sen
ate Norris is not only vice president
of the progressive league but one of
LaFollettes most ardent boomers and
among the insurgents in the house
J who are unalterably opposed to an-
other nomination otTaft Senator
Brown is for Taft for another term
The two men therefore will have at
least two very important issues as sub
jects for debate in their primary con
test
Will Go After Steel Trust
Washington Within ten days the
result of the investigation by the bu
reau of corporations into the organiza
tion and conduct of the United States
Steel corporation will be placed on
the desk of President Taft It will
then rest with the president and At
torney General Wickersham whether
the administration will begin proceed
ings in the courts against the alleged
steel trust under the Sherman anti
trust law
Movement for More Markets
Detroit Secretary of Agriculture
Wilson addressing the board of com
merce here on the Canadian agree
ment said reciprocity is a movement
for more markets for the products
of diversified industry from field and
factory an enlargement of the policy
or half a century that has made our
home market and brought the farm
ers customers nearer the field
Says Beans Prolong Life
Muldrow Okla A D Dutton
ninety two years old who attributes
his longevity to his habit of eating
beans was married to Mrs Rebecca
Jane Galloway twenty four years old
Despite his advanced years Dutton
farms every working day of the week
He is apparently as hale as a man half
his age
Mrs Cleveland Returns
New York Mrs Grover Cleveland
has returned from Europe with her
son Richard F Cleveland who has
been at school in Scotland Mrs
Cleveland with her other children
will go to the Cleveland home in
Princeton N J and thence to their
farm in Tamworth N H for the sum

Guadalajara -Mexico The volcano
Colima became active when the earth
quake shocks were felt and is now
emitting smoke and lava The towns
of Tonila and San Andres were badly
damaged by the disturbances parts of
them being destroyed
Americans Are Scarce
London Already a quarter of a mil
lion visitors are here for the corona
tion but the shopkeepers and hotel
heepers are disappointed at the ab
fcence of the hoped for influx of Ameri
cans The police regulations for the
crowd on the day of the procession
will be made more stringent than ever
before Temporary gates are being
erected in all thoroughfares thiough
which the procession will pass and
these will be closed as soon as the
route is comfortably filled with spec
tators

procity bill is ready for consideration

Tiaving voted ten to four to report the
bill Tuesday without recommendation

ilXTY THREE KILLI
EARTHQUAKE IN EARLY MORN
ING IN MEXICO CITY
PROPERTY LOSS IS HEAVY
Caught Beneath the Falling Walls of
the Artillery Barracks Most
Serious Shock in a
Score of Years
Mexico City Sixty three killed
Eeventy five wounded property loss
100000
These are the net results of an
earthquake which rent the capital en
Wednesday morning and injected a
note of tragedy into what was to have
been a day of unalloyed rejoicing
When the work of searching the ruins
is completed it is possible that the
list of dead will be lengthened some
what as hiding throughout the city
there doubtless are many wounded
who with traditional fear of the au
thorities and government hospitals
are anxious to evade discovery The
property loss is an estimate based
upon calculations made by owners
and contractors Little of the loss is
covered by insurance
It was 43C a m when the first
shock was felt According to the
meteorological observatory the great
est intensity was reached at the end
of the first minute but the instru
ments continued to record the shocks
for fourteen minutes more
Although the shock was felt in all
parts of the city few realized the
magnitude of the catastrophe until
late in the forenoon due to the fact
that the casualties were confined to
a comparatively small area Accus
tomed as the residents are to earth
quake shocks and to their harraless
ness on former occasions they were
slow to learn that this was the most
serious shock in a score of years
Bonds to Bring a Premium
Washington Treasury officials are
convinced that hen the time comes
to receive bids on the new iBsue of
50000000 Panama bonds at 3 per
cent there will not be the slightest
difficulty in getting a good premium
They will be disappointed if the bids
are not considerably above par and
this despite the fact that these bonds
will be unique among those issued
since the civil war in that they will
not be usable as the basis of circula
tion
Heartily for Arbitration
Paris The American chamber of
iommerce in Paris which transmitted
the resolutions adopted by the New
York chamber of commerce and the
Paris chamber of commerce favoring
unrestricted arbitration between the
United States and France to the
chambers of commerce in this
country has already received enthusi
astic replies The chambers endors
ing the project include those of Bor
deaux Rouen Dunkerque and Troves
May Renew Champagne Riots
Paris The champagne question
which led to serious rioting in the de
partments of Marne and Aube last
April is likely to be revived with all
the usual disorders as the result of a
decree signed by President Failleries
The decree ratified the plan promul
gated by the council of state for the
solution of the much debated problem
of which wines shall be designated
champagne
Washington Carrying out the pro
gram agreed on by the senate com
mittee on privileges and elections
Senator Dillingham has introduced in
the senate a resolution authorizing
the special committee of eight mem
bers of the regular elections commit
tee to investigafc the charges against
Senator LorinMjof Illinois

small strike disturbances the city is

down a fence on a non union building

jail

mittee of the congress to meet in

DEBATE WILL BEGIN AT ONCE
Democratic Majority in House Offers
It as a Wholesome Measure
Republicans Designate It
Petty Politics
Washington The long expected
wool tariff revision bill was introduced
in the house of representatives Tues
day by Chairman Underwood of the
ways and means committee and de
bate on it will begin in earnest The
measure was accompanied by a lengthy
report from the democrats in its favor
while the republican members headed
by Representative Payne of New York
unanimously reported against it In
dications are that the passage of the
bill will be stubbornly contested but
no intimation had been given as to the
time to be granted for debate Quot
ing President Tafts addresses after
the passage of the Payne Aldrich bill
in which he declared the woolen
schedule is indefensible and I propose
to say so the report says
Had the president made these pub
lic utterances earlier while the tariff
of 1909 was under consideration by
congress his declaration would have
been of real service to the people and
would have enabled them to protest
against the betrayal of the public wel
fare to private greed The presidents
silence at that time and his approval
of the act of 1909 makes it impossible
for him to evade his full share of re
sponsibility for the failure of re
vision which he now admits
The report deals at some length
with the attitude of the administra
tion in not communicating to congress
data on the steel trust and other in
dustries now being Investigated and
the failure of the tariff board to com
municate data on the woolen Industry
France to Tighten Bonds
Paris The succession of fetes and
dedications in America in honor of
France and Frenchmen culminating
in the unveiling at Washington May
22 of a memorial to Major Pierre
Charles lEnfant the French engineer
are now being followed up by leading
articles in various French journals
emphasizing the warmth of the friend
ship between the United States and
France
Waiting on Nebraska Case
Leavenworth Attorney General
Dawson of Kansas and attorneys for
thirteen railroads operating in the
state have signed a stipulation in the
United States district court here
agreeing to suspend the hearing of the
cases of railroads against the state in
the 2 cent fare matter until a decision
is reached in the hearing of similar
cases now pending in Nebraska
Taft to Stop at Lincoln
Washington President Taft ha3
practically promised to stop at Lin
coln on his western trip in the fall
Representative Maguire called on the
president and asked him to include
Lincoln in his itinerary The presi
dent said he would be glad to stop off
in Nebraskas capital So far as he
can see now he will be able to accept
Mr Maguires invitation
Famous Hotel Sold
Louisville Ky After serving as a
hostelry for oyer three quarters of a
century the old Gait house famous in
the history of the south has gone un
der th auctioneers hammer bringing
only 81000 The original cost of the

General Pryce Indicates Willing
ness to Do Some Fighting in
an Effort to Attain
His Ambition
Los Angeles General C Rhys
Pryce commander of the liberals in
Lower California who has been in Los
Angeles for several days conferring
with the heads of Mexican liberal
junta and arranging for the distribu
tion of supplies to his force at Tiju
ana has departed announcing that he
was to return to assume command of
the Tijuana forces Phyce reiterated
his intention to set up a republic in
the Lower California peninsula
I have telegraphed to Madero ask
ing for his acquiescence and support
he said If he decides to oppose it
will mean a hard struggle We may
have to abandon Tijuana as it is
badly situated from a strategic point
of view However there are other
towns in the peninsula that can be
made impregnable and it would re
quire a large army to drive us out o
Lower California
Trouble Ahead for Mexico
Washington A pessimistic view of
the Mexican situation is taken in high
official and diplomatic quarters here
In spite of the resignation of Diaz and
the issue of a call for a new election
those who know most about the in
wardness of things in Mexico still in
sist that dark clouds of trouble are
lowering over the republic and that
the end of difficulty is far from being
reached In fact there is a strong
disposition here to believe that Mex
ico is merely at the beginning of her
troubles and that what will follow will
be much worse than that which has
gone before
Coronation Will Be Expensive
London The cost of the coronation
of King George June 22 is going to be
so great that there is really no way
of arriving at an accurate estimate
A sample of the profligacy the people
are showing is seen in the appropria
tion of 925000 made by parliament to
defray the governments expenses
This is 301000 more than was spent
at King Edwards coronation and no
one ever accused King Edward of be
ing a piker
Nebraska Couple Drowned
Glenwood Springs Colo Clasped
tight in each others arms the bodies
of Clyde Lewis and his bride of two
