HOUGHTON. Mich., Jan. 9. Oovernor
Woodbrldgo N. Ferris finished his per
sonal work In the copper strike district
today and left for his homo In Big Hap-
ids at noon
"I got what 1 came for," he said as he
stepped aboard the train. "This strike
cannot be settled In a week or a fort
night. I think that If It were left to the
rctners and employers themselves It
would he settled very uulckly. It Is the
advlco of the outsider, and this Is a some
what venturesomo thing to say, that '1
likely to do more than anything else t
prolong this strike."
The" governor said h thought the pres
ent tlmo Inopportune for executive ac
tion, calling attention to the ract tnai
the Judicial machinery of the state Is In
full swing. Ho said ho was unwilling as
gevcranor to do or say anything that
might be construed by any Interest as an
nttempt to Influer.co the course of Justice.
Delegations of workmen representing
union and nonunion elements came to
the Douelass house In a steady stream,
but Governor Ferris managed to see all
of them to clear up his own calenderiof
appointments as well.
Hvlctlonn Ueeome Feature.
Two additional evlcf.on cases were re
lated to tho governor, and It became evi
dent that this phase of tho situation is
likely to assume major proportions soon.
In this connection tho governor was In
fluenced by the decision of tho state su
preme court at Lansing upholding Judge
O'Brien's decision as to dilatory pleas.
Tho mon who told .their stories w.cro
strikers from tho Winona mine. Theo
dore .Bessenetto said his furniture was
thrown out yesterday and was atlll in the
snow. Ilia wife and four children, rang
ing In age from 10 to IS years, he said,
wero housed wlh nelghbofs. Josip Bur
eau whose family consists of four chll
- dren, the eldest less than ycara old,
said qne of his children was sick and
that O10 doctor, at; Wjriona. .wftuldh't
:omo fW nothing. " 'J'-"
That brought action from the govornor
and. turning td Daniel -Sullivan, president
of the union's district counsel, ho told
him to see that the strike relief com
mittee provides a doctor at once. Sulli
van explained that Burcar had made no
report of the Illness to his union.
Sullivan said ho' recognized that the
union would have to meet the eviction
situation, soon. He thought that i or
rangemefits could be made for sheltering
and feeding families in halls of commons,
but said thus far tho union had been
unable to plan definitely for tho caro of
the furniture.
Thus far all cases In which the use of
plain force has been alleged have come
from tho Winona district. The mine
management explained to tho governor
that no evictions as such had taken
place, that thcro had been some dlspo
sesslons wherp families had seemingly"
left tho location and that the company
was holding ,thls furniture in storage.

OJIVAflA Mavlrn .Tan 9 tTatiirnlni-
today to OJlnaga from a reconnolterlng 1
trip, ten miles Inland, General Pascual j
Ororco, commander of federal volunteers. ;
said ho had encountered only the out-!
posts of tho rebel army. I
The rebels wero believed to be con
centrating under the personal direction of
General Francisco Villa, to present a solid
front when they again march on OJlnaga.
The situation was such that the rebel
attack might begin momentarily or be
further delayed.
All of the nine generals who remain' In
the trenches hero with tho 4,000 Huerta
soldiers, said every hour of delay gave
them opportunity to prepare resistance
and General Villa would havo had greatly
to Increase tho rebel force to repeat tin
six days' battle of last week, when the
rebels reached within 400 yards of tho
OJlnaga trenches without being nblo to
take them.
Won't He Ilentoii.
Looking from his adobe hcadquirters
on the high mesa of OJlnaga towards tho
smoke curling from tho d'stant rebel
camps, perhaps twenty miles away Gen
eral Castro, commapder of tho federal
regular army said he was confident his
army)never would be beaten by Villa.
General Castro said he was well awaro
that the conflict Impending at this llttlo
Mexican village, opposite Presidio. Tex.,
was of momentous Importnnco to thu
Huerta regime.
It would settle, he said, a question
whether the Mexico City government was
to maintain Its authority In tho north or
whether the "lawloss rabble which .noes
by the name of constltutlonallcts Is to
havo full sway."
Faith In 111 Soldiers.
The federal commander, with n sug
gesttvo tear lurking In his eyes, added
that his soldlera. had endured hardship,
had gone without food for days, ragged
and footsore, they had marched over tho
waterless desert as a token of their
loyalty, and ne did not believe they would
run at the sound of battle.
"We will never retreat, but all of us
will die right here In OJlnaga If our am
munition gives out," said General Castro,
himself garbed In a torn and dusty uni
form as evidence of tho recent flghtln'g.
Catskill Aqueduct ,
Greatest in World,'
Ready for Service
NEW YORK. Jan. 9. Tho new CataklU
aqueduct, through which .within., a year
New York City's water supply of 600,000,000
gallons a daywljl. flow,, wHl .bp .eijenedj
tornorrow morning, a djbsi 01 aynamuc
will ba fired 400 feet underground at One
Jtuh'drcd arid Forty-ninth street 'and s't.
Nicholas avenud ahd will signal the com
pletion of the tunnel, one of tho most
stupendous undertakings of the sort In
tho history of the world's municipalities.
The aqueduct has cost the city $162,000,-
000 In money and tho labor of moro than
72,000 men and tho injury of death of
nearly 4,000. Foreign engineer's rank the
aqueduct with the Panama canal as one
of the great engineering feats of the
world.
The aqueduct Is tho most difficult part
of the gigantic provision which has been
mude for New York's water supply. The
Ashokan reservoir, from which tho water
will flow through
Its ninety-slx-mllp
iWi!
miles square, and Its cost, Including that
of relocating highways and paying for
cloven miles' of railroad track which must
be removed, will approximate $20,000,000.
Controversy With
Colombia Said to Be
Near Settlement
WASHINGTON, Jan. .-Negotiations
between the United States and Colombia
for thn Rpttlrmpnt nt the latter'a alleged
nciaims arising out or me maepenaence
'of Panama, are now proceeding on tho
basis of direct proposals for a settlement
on Indemnities. State department offi
cials said today substantial progress had
been made toward an ending of tho
long standing controversy.
Colombia Insisted during the Taft ad.
ministration that the case bo submitted
to arbitration and would not consider
proposals made by the United States for
tho payment of any specified sum for the
relinquishment of all claims. It became
known, however, that early In the pres
ent administration, the sonthcrn republic
made a direct proposal to the United
States, the scope of which has not been
made known by either country.
A counter proposition was made by
Secretary Bryan. It Is understood tho
present negotiations contemplate tho
payment of a cash indemnity to Colom
bia by the United States. Thaddcus A.
Thompson, American minister to Col
ombia, Is now In the United States.
