He scored the police He said the police have been persecuting Bren and that the newspapers have aroused untold prejudice, digging up matters in no way connected with the case.

Washington, June 10.—Commenting on the report that the National Re- publican Progressive league is in a bad way and threatened with disinte- gration Representative Davis of Min- nesota. a progressive leader, said: “Some people seem to misunder- stand the purpose of the league. It was not formed to further the political ambitions of any man. This was gen- erally understood at the outset. “Some people have the idea that the league was organized to push the presidential candidacy of Senator La Follette and incidentally to oppose the renomination of President Taft. This is a mistake. The league was organized to further progressive ideas and progressive principles and to do everything possible along legitimate lines to put these ideas and these prin- ciples into the form of law. “That is the mission in life of the league. It has nothing to do with poli- tics so far as the personal fortunes of any man are concerned.” BOLT KILLS MINNESOTANS | Man and Son, Sitting in Buggy, Are Lightning Victims.

In none of the advices received at |police headquarters is the mention of the death of any person of promi- nence. The victims were those whose homes were in cheaply built houses, shacks in most cases, whose walls had little power of resistance. | The fury of the shock was spent in the northwestern and western part of the city. The most damage done was in that quarter known as Santa Maria, although cracks in the pavement and | walls toppled over serve to maix its |eourse as far to the south as Colonia Roma, a district inhabited largely by Americans. The water mains of the city were practically uninjured and the light and power company suffered little incon- venience in operations. Two of the capital's old churches | and the national palace are buildings which show the effects of the shock. Long cracks appeared in all of them and in the palace a keystone in one of the arches was loosened and thrown almost entirely out of its place. Three schools Stained considerable dam- age, but in none was there loss of life. DEATH LIST IS INCREASING One Hundred and Fifty Perished in Mexican Earthquake.

The number of casualties, as com- Piled by the police in Mexico City, is sixty-three. Forty-nine corpses have been taken out of the ruins of Ocot- lan, Jalisco. It never will be known | how many perished in villages in re- mote parts of the quake zone. Tonala, in Jalisco state, was wiped out, to all outward appearances, but the score of deaths there cannot be accurately obtained, | Not many persons were killed in the city of Colima, but a considerable jamount of damage was done. The ca- | thedra] is so badly damaged that a | | slight shock might cause its collapse | and the tower of another church was | toppled on the roof. i | The volcano Colima has displayed \greater activity during the last forty- | eight hours, but the chief meteorolog- ical. observatory at the capital is ay- | |thority for the statement that th’'s | | bad nothing to do with the earthquake. | TRUS T 1S NOT IN CONTROL | | Judge Gary eave, Bie Steel Business Is | About Equally Divided. | Washington, June 9—Judge Elbert H.
