ON THE JOB FOR THE MINISTERS
Although death te dynamite at
the Thursday afternoon meeting had

letter sent to 'Billy" Sunday, nothing
distrubed the revivalist's sermon ex
cept the Innocent crying of a baby,

It in the "Tab", nursery.
Many curious men had been at
tracted to the "Tab" by the report;
of the theratened bomb throwing,
tut the women were in far fewer
numbers than usual, supposedly for j
the same reason, so the total attend
ance was considerably below normal.
A squad of police detectives, headed
by Sergeants Patsk Have? and Tom
Donahue, watched the crowd care
fully in anticipation o a possible at
tempt on Sunday's life.

WARM ARGUMENTS MARK
CLOSE OF CONN ELL TRIAL
LAS CRUCES, N. M., Sept . -Special
Telegram.) In the closing day of argu
ments In the Porter esse, personalities
and. the bitterest of feelings were In
dulged In by Attorneys Frank W. Clancy
and H. B. Holt, Clancy for the state and
Holt for the defense.
Following an attack upon Clancy by
Holt. In which Holt questioned the pro
priety of the attorney general's presence
in the case, Clancy took forty-five min-
uates In which to defend his position.
He declared that he was In the case to
get justice for the stats of New Mexico
and that he had quashed two Juries be
cause he did not believe Justice could be
obtained " in" Otsro county. Then he
brought the case to Dona Ana county In
order to get a fair trial. He attacked
Holt's private life, his career in the state
senate and said that Holt had worked
to get a law passed preventing the
change of venue in criminal cases to
prevent this case from being changed
from Otero county, where a fair trial
could not be obtained.
Holt also declared that an effort had
been made to exclude Spanish-American
from the jury. This was objected to by
Holt, who declared It to be an effort to
prejudice the present Jury, which Is com
posed of eleven Spanish-Americans and,
one American. This objection was sus
tained. The case was expected to go to the
Jury late tonight as Judge Clancy's argu
ment was the last and Judge Nebietl'e
Instructions followed It.

BERESINA CROSSING
PLANNED
PETROORAD. Sept. 23. (Via
London.) The Russian military
authorities regard the withdrawal
from the very difficult position near
Vllna, which for a time seriously
menaced a large army, as rirtally
completed. They assert the Ger
mans have lost 250,000 men in their
recent operations In this region.
According to latest Information reoeived
here the line now runs from Osmlana to
Smorgon, which is on the left bank of
the Vlllya, west of Vlletka. From Smor
gon the line extends to Lebedevo, protect
ing; the Molodechno railway Junction.
Thence It parallels the Vilna-Ltda rail
way, crossing the Lida-Moiodeehno rail
way, and extrnulng across the Oasda
river at a point eighteen miles east of
Lid a. The line then runs to Novlny,
itolchad, Mllovldy, to the east of Lake
Vygonovskl and eastward along the Of
tnskl canal to Lyscha and the Junction
of the Jaslolda river, with the Wlna east
of Plnak. The remainder of the line Is
unchanged.
Russian officers admit that the new
front in the Vllna region la Interrupted
In planes. The region to the east of Llda
and south of Molodechne la intersected
by a multitude of rivulets. These are
embarrassing the German advance, neces
sitating a detour northward, and conse
quently co-operation between the German
group In the vicinity of Vllna and that
near Llda will be difficult.
The Russians believe that the Qennaas
contemplate a rare for crossings of the
Bereslna river, particularly at Borlaaov,
thirty-eight miles northest of Minsk,
where Napoleon came to grief In 18U.

and C. A. Mitchell, grievance repre

Mitchell Is a negro.
In the course of the conference, which
was la the open air under a slssllng sun,
somebody asknd Mitchell whether mem
bers of the United Vine Workers came
to him with their grievances against the
eompany. "I don't remember that any
union men have complained since I was
elected representative," said Mitchell.
. "I don't believe Mitchell knows whether
they are union men or not," broke in
Rockefeller "I am quite sure the offi
cers of the eompany don't, and, let me
tall you, the Colorado Fuel and Iron

"Look . here," be flashed, turning t

Mr. Rockefeller today had his ' first
meeting with Griffith who was selected
ss the oompany mediator when the plan
of dealing with labor grievances through
representatives of the men was Inaugu

Rockefeller announced that he wanted
te confer with Griffiths la the presence

was working a mile fnside the mine.
Mitchell wee produced and the conferenoe

"Tea. dey does" Mitchell replied.
"De you sometimes find that the fore

sisted Rockefeller.
"Oh yea, suh. and when dey has, I go

Qaeatfoaa for Griffiths.
Rockefeller whirled on Griffiths, "do
these grlevanoe repereentatives over have
to take anything over your head to the

"They never have yet." placidly replied
Griffiths. "Usually the grievance Is ad

By this time a crowd of miners were
standing around gaslng with noticeable
excitement at the man, who Is reputed
to control the big corporation for which
they work.
"Well, let's look at something else,"
remarked Rockefeller, and with Orlfflths
