Philadelphia.--Archbishop Ryan of Philadelphia, one of the best-known Roman Catholic prelates in America, is dying at his home in this city of heart failure and the physicians in at­ tendance momentarily expect bis death. The rumor that the archbishop has been sick has been prevalent for month*. Dr. ErneBt La Place, who is in at­ tendance, settled all doubt Sunday by declaring the archbishop could not live mnch longer, that the aged pre­ late who will be eighty years old on February 20, should he live, knows that he cannot live much longer, and is perfectly resigned.

CONDEMNS CIVrC FEDERATION United Mine Workers' Convention De­ clare National Body Is a Foe to Organized Labor. Columbus, O. -- By a vote of 497 to 369 the substitute offered to the motion condemning the National Civic federation as opposed to the in­ terests of organized labor was adopt­ ed by the United Mine Workers of America. This disposes of the original motion which called for the condemnation of the federation and the withdrawal of all the members of United Mine Work­ ers from that organization and also the minority report which provided that no action regarding the Civic fed­ eration be taken.

Manager of Journal of Commerce Bare* Efforts Made to Buy Up His Paper. Washington.--Several offers, includ­ ing one of $100,000, made to the New York Journal of Commerce, to in­ duce it to drop its hostile atti­ tude toward ship subsidy legisla­ tion and to give such legislation its support, were revealed to the house committee investigating ship subsidy by Aifrea W. Docieworth. Mr. Dodsworth is business manager of the Journal of Commerce and Com­ mercial Bulletin. As a result of the evidence Mr. Dodsworth's brother, John W. Dods­ worth, the editor of the Journal 91 Commerce, will be recalled to Wash- , ington to explain why he failed to en­ lighten the committee during his re­ cent testimony. The witness said that his paper never had been subsidized by any In­ terests whatever, and its business and editorial columns had no relation. But, he testified, about six years ago an unknown man came into his pfflce and offered to pay the Journal of Com­ merce $100,000, taking 1,000,000 cop­ ies of his paper for the Insertion of an article in one issue supporting the ship subsidy legislation. This man refused to disclose his identity unless his proposition was to be accepted. His proposition was, in the event of acceptance, to make out a certified check immediately for $10,* 000 to bind the agreement and to pay the $90,000 upon publication of the article. Mr. Dodsworth said he immediate­ ly called his brother, John W., Into Lis office as a witness to the conver­ sation and the proposition was turned clown as an attempt to make an im­ proper arrangement SPYING FOR OTHER WORLDS TO CONQUER //€«• MO N 1 J HAS *W37 JNYK.T jJCi£ i'j'1 ' •" - V Is - • 1 wm:-r*sls>£t 7 11 ' < \ is PAYNTER ELIMINATES TAFT President's Name Is Brought In Lorl- mer Case for First Time by Kentucky Senator. Washington.--For the first time since the debate i* the senate in the case of Senator William Lorimer of Illinois began mention was made of the reported interest of the president In the unseating of that senator. The reference was by Senator Paynter of Kentucky, who was a mem­ ber of the subcommittee which made the investigation into the charges. Declaring the question to be a judi­ cial one, Mr. Paynter said: "I did not approach the investiga­ tion with any feeling or thought that the country demanded a victim to ap­ pease its wrath, or thrtt any member of this body, if such a demand was made, would subserviently yield to it; nelther«did I suppose that a sacriflcal offering would be made of the accuse^ senator to satisfy a popular demand, nor did I suppose it wfls necessary to do so to give character and standing to the administration." Having brought the president into the discussion, the Kentucky senator professedly undertook to eliminate him from it. Referring to the fre­ quent assertion in the public press that the president is using bis personal, if not his official, influence against Mr. Lorimer, Mr. Pjiynter said he desired to resent the imputation against the president.

FORCES LED BY AMERICAN Governor and Officials Are Arrested, •Jailer Killed, and Prisoners Given Their Freedom--Commander of Band Is California Socialist. Calexlco, Cal.--The town of Mexi­ can i, in lower California, Mexico, just across the California border, was cap­ tured early Sunday by a band of 100 armed revolutionists, led by a Cali­ fornia Socialist. They appeared at the house of Gov­ ernor Terrazas, sub-prefect of this dis­ trict, and placed him under arrest. Proceeding in an orderly manner to the customs house, they demanded the surrender of the government's of­ ficials. Here the revolutionists met demurrers, but when a window was broken In and the chief of the cub- toms corps was dragged out, they laid down their Winchesters and sur­ rendered. All federal officials were placed under guard as the main party proceeded. The revolutionists then went to the jail and demanded the keys of Jailer Jose Villasenor. He refused them and was shot dead with a bullet through his head. The lock on the jaS! door was then broken off and the lnnates found within were all freed, including two revolutionists who had be<m arrested two days previously. These joined the forces of the lnsur- re^tos, with cries of "Vive Mexico." The leading stores were visited and the proprietors informed that no loot­ ing would be allowed and that as long as their demands were com pli-sd with there would be no rioting or killing. General Bertholdt said: "This Is a geenral movement that is taking place all over Mexico. We are a portion of the Mexican Liberal party, which Is the same as the So­ cialist party in the United States. We aim to make Mexico free from the tyranny of Diaz and all the present intolerable officials. We are operat­ ing without riot, bloodshed or de­ bauchery. We have ordered all sa­ loons closed and will allow no Ill- treatment of women or children and American citizens will be treated with respect. "We have two hundred armed men in this vicinity and are prepared to fight to a finish to hold the ground we have gained. The plans are for the overthrowing of the government and placing the common people on a footing with the higher classes." Mexican government officials de­ clare the uprising /nerely Incidental and that as soon as the revolutionists have all the whisky and loot In the places of business they will disappear. There will be, however, every effort made to catch the whole party and deal with them under the law. Ecuador Calls Off Sale.

OVERSEA RECORD IS BROKEN Distance Covered Over Wafer go Miles---War Craft Takes Alrinan Aboard When Lubricating Oil Gives Out. SEVEN Havana, Cuba.--Within ten miles of the Cuban coast and only a short dis­ tance farther from his goal and an |8,000 cash prize, the Camp Columbia aviation field, J. A. D. McCurdy, the Canadian aviator, ran ont. of lubri­ cating oil and was Monday compelled to abandon a magnificent flight from Key West, Fla. When he saw that he could not reach this port McCurdy alighted safe­ ly on the waters and the pontoons with which it was equipped floated the aeroplane until the destroyer Paulding, splashing along in its wake, had overtaken the aerial craft. Mc­ Curdy and b.ls biplane were taken on board, neither the worse for the mis­ hap. At first it was believed that the aviator could make a new start from the deck of the destroyer, but this proved impractical and after consid­ erable delay the Paulding brought the whole outfit into the harbor. McCurdy had covered approximate­ ly 80 miles of the distance of 112 to Havana when he was obliged to descend and, though he failed to meet the requirements of the competition, he accomplished a feat unprecedented in cross seas flying. Compared with the 18-mile flights acroaa I he English cliaiiuel. Lib per­ formance stands out as far more re­ markable. But for a slip in taking supplies It is not to be doubted that the trip would have been successful. Great disappointment is felt by thou­ sands here who gathered to catch a glimpse of the bird man. The money offered for the aerial voyage included $5,000 tendered by the Havana Post and $3,000 appro­ priated by the Havana city council. McCurdy made his start from Key West at 7:32 o'clock under the most favorable conditions after a week of nerve-trying wait. It is estimated that fully 10,000 peo­ ple saw the start. McCurdy first cir­ cled over the harbor at an elevation of 500 feet. He made a second circle at an elevation of over 1,000 feet, and then the flag dropped and the aviator crossed the line over the wireless sta­ tion, going at the rate of nearly sixty miles an hotir. In ten minutes he was out of sight overhand Key, ten miles away. AU Relieved hy Lydia E. Pink- ham's Vegetable Compound. Sikeston, Mo. -- "For seven ye-ars I Buffered everything.

The native population In all direc­ tions are abandoning their villages and fleeing to the hills in terror.

A lady writes from the land of cot­ ton of the results of a four years' use of the food beverage--hot Postum. "Ever since I can remember we had used coffee three times a day. It had a more or less injurious effect upon us all, and I myself suffered almost death* from Indigestion and nervous­ ness caused by it. "I know it was that, because when I would leave it off for a few days I would feel better. But it was hard to give it up, even though I realized how harmful it was to me. "At last I found a perfectly easy way to make the change. Four years ago I abandoned the coffee habit and began to drink Postum, and I also in­ fluenced the rest of the family to do the same. Even the children are al­ lowed to drink it freely as they do water. And it has done us all great good. "I no longer suffer from Indigestion, and my nerves are In admirable tone since I began to use Postum. We never use the old coffee any more. "We appreciatae Postum as a de­ lightful and healthful beverage, which not only Invigorates but supplies the best of nourishment as well." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek. Mich.
