Omaha Man Selects
Farm on Which Pool
Had Set His Heart
HYANNIS. Neb.. Nov. 15.-tSpeclal Tel
ejram.) Increased Interest and an In
creased number of selections marked tho
proceedings In the allotment of thelands
In the North Platte forest reserve today.
Yesterday twenty-three selections wcro
made, but by the middle of the afternoon
today that number had been passed.
The first to be admitted Into the map
room this morning by Judge Wltten was
Victor Harris of Loomls.
When No. 65, Alex Sund, an Omaha
man who Is tn charge of the elevators
In the Burlington headquarters building,
made his selection ho brought keen dis
appointment to Charles W. Pool of Lin
coln, state labor commissioner. The land
commissioner, whoso number Is 65, had
chosen a certain section about twenty
miles south of Hynanls and was prepared
to have lumber hauled out as soon as ho
made his filing. He was reported to
have said that he would gladly sacrifice
$100 If his choice remained until his num
ber was called. However. No. 65 entitled
htm to one of a number of good sections
remaining and ho chose section 8, town
ship 22, range 39.
The largest crowd yet Is gathered In
Hyannls and all hotels and steeping quar
ters are well filled. The second 100 num
bers will be called tomorrow and the In
dications are that more selections will bo
made among this number than from the
first 100.
One feature of the day was the selection
of a good section by M. D. Spcrry, an
old soldier from Burkctt, who held No.
66. It wall his seventy-sixth birthday and
he regarded his section of land as a vtry
substantial birthday gift.
For the accommodation of the crowds
the Burlington sets out a tourist sleeper
each day and this Is picked up by No.
42 In the night. If the crowds Increase
It may be necessary for the railroad to
set out more, sleepers to supplement the
rooming houses accommodations of tno
town. The selection today were, twenty
seven, nddtd to the twenty-three selec
tions of yosterday. This leaves 462 claims
out of the 612 yet to be selected.

Marl Disappears on
Way from Mexico
EL PASO, Tex.. Nov. 18.-What has
been the fate of Joseph H. Francis,
former alderman of Chicago and one
time president of the Automobile club of
that city, was a question that author
ities In Juarez were unable to answer
early today. Francis, who has been ab
sent from Chicago since last May, was
supposed to have rome to Juarez from
Terrazas on the troop train that carried
Villa's troops to attack that city early
Saturday morning. ' That he did not
reach El Paso seems certain. A tele
graphic appeal from Francis' father In
Chicago last night has caused General
Villa to Institute a search, which he
declared would extend to opening the
gravesof dead foreigners today.

HUNDRED AND FIFTY
THOUSANDJN STRIKE
Walkout of East Indian laborers
Spreads to the South Coast
x of Africa.-
INDUSTRY BECOMES PARALYZED
British Government Hesitates to De
clare Martial Law.
FEARS ITS EFFECT IN ASIA
No Disorders Yet,
start An;
ARRESTS
DURBAN,
Africa, Nov. 18.-'
dlan laborers spread
coast. Practically ever;
workmen of East Indlatv
had laid down his toots at noon.
Thus far the strikers have been com
paratively peaceable, but serious disorders
may break out nt any moment.
Ill feeling among tho East Indians has
been considerably augmented by two In
cidents yesterday. Tho first was the
death from flogging of a coal mine la
borer In Dundee, twenty miles north of
Ladysmlth. The second was the arrest
of 2,000 East Indians who attempted to
cross from tho Transvaal Into Natal.
The federal law of tho Union of South
Africa prohibits the emigration of Asiatics
from ono statn to another. The East
Indians from the Transvaal had planned
a demonstration In sympathy with the
strikers tn Natal.
The strike has paralyzed Industry. The
East Indians do practically all tho labor
In Natal, on the farms, railroads, sugar,
tea and cattle plantations and In the
mines. Most of the mechanics and domes
tics are also of this race. All the strik
ers have refused to pay their poll tax of
$15 per head.
The most alarming menace Is the likeli
hood thattho strike will spread to other
states.
The government ta disinclined to declare
martial law, as the employment of Im
perial troops for the suppression of
trouble would bo almost certain to cause
discontent In British India, 'where the 'na
tives are Irritated over the treatment of
East Indiana In British colonies.
"Cabinet Ladies" Out
"House Ladies" Off
Their Calling Lists
WASHINGTON, Nov. 18.-Blorm slg
naM are flying In official social circles In
Washington as a result of the decision of
the "cabinet ladles" to Cut from their
calling list' the wives of members of the
house, on. the ground that some paring
of the overcrowded calendar had to be
done at the opening1 of a busy social
season. The women of, the official set
now are divided Into two camps .aJid the
feud threatens to spread Into govern
mental quarters.
So many calls tn the season, those held
to be Imperative and those established
by precedent, have to be made by the
wife of a cabinet officer that It wa re
garded as a physical Impossibility to ex
tend the list this year. The 'decision to
cut off the names of the house members'
wives from the list was said to have
been prompted by the greatly Increased
membership of the house and the fact
that no precedent rendered the calls Im
perative. "The cabinet ladles" have endeavored
to hold 6ut the olive branch by assuring,
the "house ladles" that their names will
bo on the cabinet reception day lists.
This has had. the effect of further In-"
censing the congressional women It Is
declared, and the social war Is being
waged merrily.

which final arguments will he made be.
fore him on the question of constitutional
law raised In the petition 'for habeas

Administration
SEATTLE. Wash., Nov. IS.-The pro
gresslvo element of the American Feder
ation of Labor was voted down twice this
morning when the convention In session
here defeated tWo constitutional amend
ments of a similar nature having to do
with, tho payment of strike benefits. The
first measure would have given, the ex
ecutive council. J.'dlscretlonaryJX-4xrver--to
authorise payment to newly organised
Unions, the members of which -were
loclibd out or discharged for having or
ganized. The second substituted "the"
fr "discretionary." The vofe? oh-ther first
was 63 to 113; on the second, 74 to 142. v
'Advocates of 'the amendments declared
the Industrial Workers -of the' World had
accomplshed much that tho federation
had been unable to do because of the
provision of the constitution making
strike benefits available only to those
who had been members of a union at
least a year. ,
; "I havo heard enough about Industrial
Workers of the. World charging the Amer
ican Federation of Labor with not doing
Its duty," declared President Gompers.
"It will be a sorry day for labor men
when we stoop to meet the frivolous,
purposeless charges made by that sort of
people. Every time they have made a
row we have been called upon to pay
the fiddler and the piper. 1 don't think
we should be disturbed by what they
think of us."
President Gompers declared the adop
tion of 'the amendments would bankrupt
even the treasury of the United States
were that at tho disposal of the federa
tion. '

"Despite the llay-Pauncefote treaty," ,

prevent the United States senate from
closing the Panama canal at will against
those having euual rights' In Its use. If
such a course appears to their Interest.
I regard this as a serious situation, If not
an entire breach of faith by the United

WASHINGTON. Nov. 18.-President Wil

parently brought no change, bt(t keen
Interest was shown In the organliatlon of

Talk of a blockade of Mexican ports
was revived, but high officials said such
a step had not been determined on. Fore
most advisers of the administration are
counselling pntlcncc.
The repoit that Carranza might not
need to have the embargo on arms HfteJ

MEXICO CITY. Nov. lS.-The comple

final touches to President Huertx's de

cntlon'ot dispatches from Washington In

contemplate any active measures to sup

Talk' of tho possibility of Huerta tt
slgnltig Is still heard, but all tho acts a
liKearfc'es bt the. provisional president
are calculated (o dls'slpato the Idea that
he himself has any such Intention. It has
been suggested that Washington has been
given ' assurances that General Huerta
will resign after the new Mexican con
gress has ratified his acts since the dis
solution of the former congress.
Foreigners here are keyed up to a
point at which any action promising re
