San Diego, Cal.--Culiacan, in the state or Sinaioa, surrendered to the Maderist§ May 31, after nearly two days of fierce fighting, in which hun­ dreds are reported to have been killed. The city was nearly destroyed. Mazatlan, in the same state, surren­ dered without resistance June 2. These advices were brought by the steamer Brito Juarez, which has just arrived from Mazatlan. Juarez, Mex.--That the United States is becoming tired of the shoot­ ing and other acts of anarchists on the California-Mexico border and steps taust be taken at once to stop it is the burden of messages sent to the Mexican war department by Gen. Ben­ jamin Viljeon, military adviser to Francisco I. Madero. General Viljeon expressed the fear the Washington government may with­ draw its offer to allow Mexican troops to travel through the United States to Lower California unless the privilege is promptly taken advantage of. The former Boer general bases his advice to Mexico City on many com­ plaints of residents of California, who threaten to take measures of their own. Passengers arriving from Chihuahua say the condition in that city is be­ coming unbearable. Five thousand federal troops with 13 generals, in­ cluding Viljeon, Lioz, Rabago and Lu- que, are patroling the city night and day, and have notified the insurrectos that the peace agreement did not pro­ vide for the surrender of the city. General Villar, commander of the zone, says under no circumstances will he allow the insurrectos to enter under arms. Artillery and trenches have been put in place as if for a de­ fense. Outside the city General Orozco, with the forces of the Insurrectos, says he is determined not to lay down arms, and he will soon enter the city by force, if necessary. GARY OENIES THAT THREATS LED TO MERGER. FOUR GIRLS ARE H0WNED Thieves In Harlem stole a grand pi­ ano from a house.

Appleton, Wis.--Four girls, mem­ bers of a pleasure party, were drowned in the treacherous Lake Butte des Morts at the mouth of the Fox river between Oshkosh and Ap­ pleton when a sailing yacht, owned by three Menasha men, was capsized dur­ ing a heavy windstorm. The dead are: Gertrude Kuschel, Appleton; Agnes Ceenan, Kimberley; Bertha Pollex, Appleton, and Elizabeth Brill, Kaukauna, Wis. The owners of the boat and four other occupants were rescued.

BARGE WRECKED; FOUR DEAD Says Roosevelt's Acquiescence in Coal Deal Was Act of Constructive Statesmanship. Washington.--Elbert H. Gary, ex­ ecutive head of the United States Steel corporation, told the house investigating committee & version of the formation of that enterprise which contradicted testimony of John W. Gates that the threats of Andrew Car­ negie to build rival railroads and tube works had induced J. Pierpont Morgan to institute negotiations culminating In the gigantic steel combination. "Such matters as I learned were testified to by Mr. Gates before this committee," Mr. Gary said, after a de­ tailed statement of the formation of the steel combination, "never were spoken of in the delibefrations over the deal. I do not remember that Mr. Mor­ gan ever mentioned these matters to me.' Mr. Gary saia that Mr. Gates bad nothing to do with Questions regarding the charter and form of organization of the steel corporation. Mr. Gary, in the course of his testi­ mony, declared that if former Presi­ dent Roosevelt had not approved of the absorption of the Tennessee Coal and Iron company by the United States Steel corporation he, Gary, never would have voted to consum­ mate that deal. Mr. Gary, cross-examined by Mr. Lit­ tleton of *New York, elaborated his views as to government supervision of corporations and pleaded for greater co-operation between government of- ticiais itiiu the uireeling forces of big business combinations. Mr. Gary in­ sisted that the government was just as likely to go too far in one direction as the corporations in another. Mr. Gary denied charges, attributed to Senator Oliver of Pennsylvania, that the Steel corporation was trying to gain control over Ohio river trans­ portation lines so as to cut out wa­ ter competition in the shipment of coal. These charges were set forth by Robert C. Hall, former president of the Pittsburg Stock exchange, another witness. Returning to the absorption of the Tennessee Coal and Iron company, Mr. Littleton asked "just when" that trans­ action relieved the financial situation. "Just as soon as we sent back word from Washington that President Roosevelt would allow the deal to be made," Mr. Gary said. "I don't know what the committee thinks about it, but I myself believe that the action of the president in this connection was a piece of real constructive statesman­ ship." Mr. Gary again declared in the course of further questioning that President Roosevelt and Secretary of State Root not only sanctioned the ab­ sorption of the Tennessee Coal and Iron company by the Steel corporation, but held it to be necessary to avert widespread financial disaster. Mr. Gary said anew that financial conditions in 1907 were Buch that something had to be done to prevent a panic. The conference at the White House, he declared, was the final step in the campaign of prevention, and he added that if the administration had declined to permit the combination of the two big steel properties he would have opposed it in the Steel corppra- tion. JAILS SCHOOLS FOR CRIME 8and Boat Turns Turtle Off Michigan City, Ind., and Part of Her Crew Die. Michigan City, Ind.--Of a crew of ten men six were saved when the barge J. D. Marshall was wrecked off shore ten miles west of Michigan City harbor after springing two leaks. A cargo of 400 yards of sand was on deck and it is believed to have shift­ ed. cai^sing the boat to turn turtle. She lies in 30 feet of water about 600 feet from shore almost completely turned over with bodies of three of its dead held prisoners. A noted philanthropist, in denounc­ ing "the devil of sneering cynicism" who sits in the editorial chairs of modern journalism, declares that newspapers need young men who pre­ fer $15 a week and to stay honest than $50 a week to doing otherwise.

Boston.--A complete revolution in the treatment of misdemeanants and petty offenders throughout the United States was proposed by Dr. Frederick Howard Wines, statistician of the board of administration of state in­ stitutions of Illinois, at the opening session of the National Conference of Charities and Correction here. Dr. Wines characterized the aver­ age county or municipal jail in this country as a school for crime, a cess­ pool of moral contagion, a propagating house of criminality, a feeder for the penitentiary, a public nuisance and a disgrace of modern civilization. The public indifference to the s'tuatlon he attributed partly to ignorance. "The county officials," he said, "do not know what a jail should be and the people do not know what their jails really are. In plain Anglo-Saxon, the truth is that wherever there exists local graft and political dishonesty, the county prison is its center and its stronghold. The sherifT or the jailer makes a personal profit from crime by charging a per diem for board for prisoners and by the receipt of fees for locking and unlocking the jail doors. That profit is a live wire. No local politician, possibly no member of the legislature or even of the Btate administration dares monkey with it." Recall Troop# From Texas. Washington. --The president, after a conference with General Wood, ap­ proved of the order recalling 2,000 ma­ rines from Guatanamo, 4,000 troops from Galveston and 1,500 troops from San Diego.

From coast to coast Mexico is de­ vastated by the earthquake and to add to the terror of the inhabitants the volcanoes Colima and Popocata- petl are now in full eruption, great cones of smoke hovering over the craters and lava pouring down their sides into the cities and towns lo­ cated there. t The death list placed eraly at 1,456, is growing and word is yet to be re­ ceived from the isthmus of Tehuante- pec, which was shaken from end to end. The famous floating gardens of the Montezumas, located on an island in Lake Xochimilso are no more. Gar­ dens, homes, inhabitants, island and all are sunken beneath the surface of the lake. How many victims were claimed by the earthquake here no one can say, but comparatively few If any of the natives are believed to have escaped. The inhabitants of this island are direct descendants of the Aztecs and of pure, unmixed blood. They raised and sold nearly all the flowers and vegetables for the markets of Mexico City. Now they and their homes and their products are no more. Ono Vmridred Rod fifty persons were Injured In Guadalajara, but no one was killed. The list of casualties is pouring into Mexico City.

Nation of hatchet fame, who devoted her life to a fight on the sale of liquor and cigarettes, died in the Evergreen sanitarium here of paresis, aged six­ ty-six years. She had been suffering from a nervous breakdown since Jan­ uary last. Although it has been reported sev­ eral times since she came here that she was dead, her death was not ex­ pected until several days ago. Mrs. Nation in the sanitarium was incapable of even managing her own business affairs, all trace of the bold prohibition worker had disappeared when her iron constitution began to fall, and she spent the last five months of her life in seclusion, no one but relatives and hospital attendants be­ ing allowed to see her. When told several days ago that she would die, Mrs. Nation made no comment. Only Dr. A. L. Suwalsky and a nurse were with her when dearth came. Mrs. Nation's entry Into fame was made at Wichita, Kan., several years ago, when she demolished a saloon with a hatchet. Later she repeated the performance on several other Kan­ sas towns.

DIRECT VOTE PASSES BORAH RESOLUTION FOR ELEC­ TION OF U. S. SENATORS WINS 64 TO 24. TO AMEND THE CONSTITUTION Brlstow Provision Which Reserves te Federal Government Right to Con­ trol Senatorial Elections Approved. Washington.--By vote of 64 to 24, more than the necessary two-thirds, the senate passed the resolution sub­ mitting to the states an amendment to the constitution for the popular election of United States senators. The Bristow amendment, which re­ serves to the federal government the right to control the senatorial flections in the states, wm adopted before the final vote, 44 t(r 44, with Vice-Presi­ dent Sherman casting the deciding vote. The vote on the Bristow amendment v/as as follows: Yeas--Bourne, Bradley, Brandege, Briggs, Bristow, Brown, Burnham, Burton, Clapp. Clark, Wyoming; Clarke, Arkansas, Crane, Crawford, Cullom, Cummins, Curtis, Dixon, Du- pont, Gallinger, Gamble, Guggenheim, Hepburn, Jones, Kenyon, Lippitt, Lodge, Lorimer, McCumber, McLean, Nelson, Nixon, Oliver, Page, Penrose, Perkins, Richardson, Root, Smith, Michigan; Smoot, Stephenson, Suther­ land, Townsend,'Warren, Wetmore-- 44.

C.; Stone, Swanson, Taylor, Terrell, Thornton, Watson, Williams, Works. This was the supreme test.
