Start of the Tronble. All the trouble as last night's meet- .. ing was precipita ‘when the com- . -mittee suggested. that the city pur- * chase or hire two wagons with which to go into the ice business. Mayor ' Quigley stated that it would simply mean a price cutting war between the city and the ice corporations if the _city went into the business on this plan 'and he expressed the firm be- lief that he did not think the city ¥ ought 'to go into this business in such a way as to wreck the business of clqnu and taxpayers. who have beén long established. Mayor Quigley averred that the pur- pose of the municipal ice proposition hés been attalned inasmuch as it has secured a lowering of the price of ice that the rates are now at a de-| cent figure and he did not think that the ice committee, because it is backed up by the large city, should now go ahead and ruin the business of some of its citizens. g Charges Are Made. *‘When Mayor Quigley. made these statements at last night’s meeting Al- derman Shine said: “That is just what I read between the lines of that letter of yours.

New York, July 10.—Mayor Mitchel annqunced today that he had instruct- ed the police not to allow the pro- cession Alexander Berkman, anar- chist, and his associates proposed to hold tomorrow in honor of the three men who were killed in a Harlem tenement house last Saturday by a bomb explosion. “There will be no parade,” said the mayor, “as Police Commissioner Woods and I agreed that it woula lead to disorder and a breach ot peace. The free speech policy of the administration will be continued, ana these or other persons may meet in public assembly under the ‘conditions laid down in the statutes and be protected in their constitutional rights.” This means that while Berkman and his followers may hold a peace- able meeting in Union Square or any other public place, they may not ex- hibit the urne containing the ashes ot the men killed or hold any parade. Berkman announced after the decl- sion of the mayor was made known 'to him that the parade as planned would be held. The police, Berkman asserted, had been notified of this de- . cision of the anarchists, Industrial | Workers of the World and other or- | ganizations. Berkman added that he | expected no digorder as there would . be no inflammatory speeches and that i it was his desire to show by a solemn | memorial service the respect 'in { which the three men were held by the | organizations named. { CARSON GIVEN POWER | | 10 MUSTER VOLUNTEERS Unionist Leader * Delivers Stirring Speech at Bel- fast Meeting. Belfast, July 10.—The ‘“provisional government,” formed by the Ulster unionists at its first meeting today, gave Sir Edward Carson a free hand to take whatever action he may think necessary in calling the Ulster volun- teers to arms. . The' men were de- clared ready for mobilization at a moment's notice. Sir Edward; Car- son, in a speech, 'detlared that the time had come for the loyalists . of Ulster to translate their words into action. He sald something must be done to compel the British govern- ment to make up its mind. Ulster, he concluded, was anxious for peace, but was not going to accept peace with surrender. Full military honors were accorded by the Ulster Volunteers today to Sir Ed- ward Carson, the Irish unionist leader when he arrived accompanied by the Marquis of Londonderry, Viscount Castlereagh, Walter H. Long and Ronald McNeil and othér ° unionist members of parliament to attend the raeeting of the Ulster provisional gov- ernment. A guard of honor composed of 400 armed volunteers and Afifty .armed motorcycle dispatch riders: met and ‘afim:fl the leaddrs to the residence of Captain James Cralg, the military lelda-r,-wh‘e{-o they will remain for a ‘week. The intentions of the provisonal government have not been disclosed, but one object of the meeting is the arrangement of an impressive cele- bration of the itwelfth of July, or “‘Orangemen’s Day,” in order to “show the government and the people of Great. Britain that nothing but the absolute exclusion of Ulster from the Joperations of ‘the Irish home rule bill will satisfy us.” As one prominent Ulster man put it, the government is somewhat un- casy as to the outcome of the cele- bration. Major General Sir Cecil Macready, who is in command of the military in the Belfast district has been in con- ference with Premier Asquith on the subject of the situation and the police have been instructed to act with great care so as to glve no excuse for an outbreak.

St. Louis, Mo., July 10.—The two masked bandits who held up the west- bound “Katy Flyer” on the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railroad near Matson, Mo., sixty miles northwest of St. Louis, last night, captured a track walker who surprised them as they were robbing the train and took him away with them. This was learned from membets of the train crew this morning. The story of the robbery was told by A. L. Mudd, conductor of the train, and by John Snadley, engineer, The train, which left St. Louis at 8:32 last night for Texas, stopped at Matson, Mo., on the north bank of the Missouri River at 10:15. There the bandits, of whom there were only two, are supposed to have boarded the train. of Engineer Heard Noise. After the train had gone a short distance the engineer heard a nolse behind him and, turning, saw a man with two revolvers levelled at him. | “We were told to stop the train,” said the engineer, “and I did so. Then he told the firemen to run back and uncouple the train between the last express car and the first passenger car.” The fireman uncoupled the train and the bandits forced the engineer to run the engine and express cars to a point near Klondyke on the river bank, Blew Doors From Safe. They entered the American Express car and forced the messenger, J. J. Nicholson, to stand with his face to the wall while they blew both doors from the safe. While this was going on a track walker, sald to be Willlam Christo- pher, appeared. The robbers made him prisoner, ‘When the train first stopped at the command of the bandits, Conductor Mudd “and Willlam Glass, train auditor, got off to learn the trouble. “We were greeted with a fusillade of shots,” sald Mudd. “We were told to stay In the coaches. . We, stayed in.” Passengers Not Molested. The bandits made no effort to mo- lest the passengers, but warned them to keep their heads Inside the win- dows. So far as is known nothing was taken except the contents of the express safe. What this amounted to is not yet known, Conductor Mudd said he saw several pleces of jewelry on the floor of the express car after the robbery. . The bandits are thought to . have crossed the Missouri river near the scene of the robbery and to have started south. Nahum T. Brown, general agent here for the American Express com- pany, said there was no shipment of money in the express safe, but that there were a few packages of jewelry, the value of which he would not esti- mate, Flagman Defies Robbers. The first news of the robbery was glven by the flagman of the flyer. Despite warnings of the bandits, he got off the rear passenger coach and ran back to Matson, where he notifled the station agent that thé train had been held up. Covered With Revolvers. Members of the train crew who witnessed the robbery while two of the bandits held them covered. with revolvers against the bluffs of the Missouri river, declared the bandits obtained several thousand dollars. The bandits boarded the = *blind” baggage at Matson and after riding three miles crawled to the cab and covered the fireman and engineer with revolvers. After detaching the coaches they wanted, the bandits compelled the crew to run them about a mile up the track. Disappeared in Woods. Done with their work of pillaging, they ordered the crew back to the train and then disappeared in the woods. The police of St. Louis towns in the vicinity are ordered watch for the bandits. BITTER POLITICAL FIGHT. ‘Winnepeg, Man., July 10.—General elections for the legislature of Man- ftoba were held today, and one of the bitterest political fights in the history of the province came to a close. What is known as ‘‘progres- sive” forces have united to overthrow the cabinet of Rodman Roblin, which has been in power fifteen years, on a platform of prohibition, initiative and referendum and compulsory edu- cation. and all to FALLS FROM TREE. Marek H. Fox, aged thirty-four, who runs a delicatessen store at 109 Hartford avenue, received a cut about the lips and slight internal injuries this morning by falling from a cherry tree at the corner of Winthrop and Griswold strets.

Theresa Hollander was dragged into a grave yard on the outskirts of Aurora and clubbed to death. Her body was discovered an hour later, lying in the snow, with her arms broken and her skull fractured. Rob- bery was not the motive, as all her belongings were intact, Miss Hollander and Petras had been sweethearts up to a year before the crime was committed. It was brought out at the trial that the girl’s parents caused a break between the two. Shortly after that Petras married Miss Meta Mathews. She sat with Petras throughout his trial and en- couraged him. NO REMONSTRANCE T0 SIMONS’ GRAND HOTEL County Commissioners Re- serve Decision, Pending Inspection of Place. His Wife. Not a hint of remonstrance was expressed today when Isadore Simons was given a hearing before the county commissioners on his application for a license for the Grand Hotel at 25-38 Myrtle street, . The commissioners reserved decis- ion and sald they would visit the hotel in the near future and then an- nounce whether it should have a li- cense. In some quarters it was believed that there would be objection to the hotel license, as there was heavy re- monstrance against the Hotel Wash- ington, which is in the same district. ‘The opposition did not crop out, how- ever. Simons described the hotel for the commissioners and was questioned by his counsel, Judge F. B. Hunger-~ ford. He said the hotel would be located on the second and third floors of the building and would consist of forty-eight rooms, eighteen of them having private baths. There will be a telephone in every room, he said. He told the commissioners he had taken several manufacturers through the hotel and they had expressed sat- isfaction. Simons said he would con- duct the hotel himself and would live there. The property is owned by his brother, Rudolph, he sald, but a half interest would be transferred to him soon. Mrs, Nellie Simons, wife of the ap- plicant; Frank Slater, an architect; N. E. Mag, a Main street business man, and several others spoke in favor of the petition, MRS. ANGLE WILLING TO GIVE TESTIMONY Stamford Woman, However, Wants the Consent of Her Counsel Be- fore She Issues Statement. Stamford, July 10.—It was uncer- tain early this afternoon whether or not Coroner John J. Phelan would resume his inquest later in the day into the death of Waldo R. Ballou. If he does sit it was thought the session would be short and the in- quest would not be closed at this time. Dr. Bruce F. Weaver, a patholo- gist of the local hospital, who has been making tests of certain stains found ih the apartments.of Mrs. Helen M. Angle, who is held without bail under the coroner’s order as a ma- terial witness in the case, said that he was ready to testify to his analy- sis. The coroner who was in Bridgeport this morning said he did not expect to be here until the middle of the afternoon and upon arrival would see the police and also State's Attorney Cummings. Judge N. C. Downs, counsel for Mrs. Angle, is away. Mrs. Angle has told the police that she was willing to testify and'give her version of the incidents of the night of June 23 when Ballou was killed, if Judge Downs would consent to her making a statement. Judge Downs when here last said he did not wish Mrs. Angle to testify and should he be absent when the coroner sits to- day it seemed unlikely that ' Mrs. Angle would be in the court room. DATE SET FOR ROOSEVELT. The state-wide progressive rally, which was to have been held in Hartford on July 23 and which was postponed on account of his doctor's orders to Colonel Roosevelt to take a six weeks' rest, will be held on August 15, Colonel Roosevelt has notified the Hartford office that he will be present on that day and that this will be his first appearance In public after his rest.

TORREON CONFERENCE ADJOURNS Gen. Obregon Routs Federal Army of 12,000 Men Defending Guadalajara .in Fierce Battle Extending Over Zone of Sixty-five Miles, » Torreon, Coahuila, July 10.—Vindi- cation of the conduct of General Villa, his speedy return to the front of the central advance on Mexico City, with General Felipe Angeles as chief of artillery and the clear definition of Villa’s attitude toward the first chief of the constitutionalists, General Car- ranza, are reported to be the cardinal points of a statement of tneir discus- sions promised for today by repre- sentatives of Carranza and Villa after the adjournment of the internal con- stitutionalist relations conference yes- terday. The statement will be based upon a. protocol covering the transactions of the conferees signed upon adjourn- ment. Depart for Saltilio. The Carranza delegates immediately upon signing the protocol departed for Saltillo. It is unofficlally known that be- cause neither Carranza nor Villa was pleased with the trend of some of the discussion between the representatives of the factions, the conference was prolonged after business was finished Sunday. However, it was officially announced last night that “These dif- ficulties were removed to the entire satisfaction of both parties.” It was intimated that the provision- ing of Villa's forces figured largely in the discussions at the conferences. Reorganizing His Forces. Douglas, Ariz., July 10.—General Alvaro Obregon, commander of the Constitutionalist forces, who on Wed- nesday captured the important city of Guadalajara, Mex., and took prisoners more than 5,000 federals after three days battle, prepared today to reor- ganize his forces for the march ron Irapuapo, the junction on the Mexi- can Central railroad connecting Mex- ico City with northern and western Mexico. General Obregon last night tele- graphed F. S. Elias, border represen- tative of the Constitutionalists here, that he routed the federal army of 12,000 men defending Guadalajara under General Miel, federal governor of the state of Jalisco, in a flerce bettle, extending over a zone of sixty- five miles. Federal Loss Heavy. General Obregon sald the federal loss was very heavy, but that his own casualties were small. The federals vho escaped are being pursued by the constitutionalists, and General Obre- gon was of the opinion that he would obtain several thousand recruits for his army in the captured city. He said his own force numbered 10,000 men. Villa’s Return Predicted. El Paso, Tex., July 10.—The speedy return of General Villa’'s army south- ward from Chihuahua City to resume the campaign against Mexico City was predicted here today following the re- ceipt of advices from Torreon that the internal peace conference was finally ended and a report of its tran- sactions soon would be given to the press. ‘With Guadalajara in constitutional- ist hands, and San Luls Potosl be- sleged, there remain only two or three points of defense for the federals be- tween the national capital and the southern ,edge of the territory con- trolled by the revolutionists. On the east Geperal Pablo Gonzales, with an army of 20,000 men, holds dominion from the border to San Luis Potosi, twenty-four hours by rail from Mexico City. In the center General Villa's di- vision occuples the country from Juarez to Aguas Calientes, eightecn hours’ travel from the capital city. Six Hours’ Ride., To the west General Obregon has stretched his lines so far as Guadala- jara, second largest city in the repub- lic, and within six hours’ ride by rail- way of the central goal. Once San Luis Potosi is captured the three military divisions, totalling 60,000 men, will converge on Mexico City, according to assertions made in El Paso today by both Carranza and Villa followers. It was predicted here that con- centration would take place at Celaya, state of Guanajuato, and eight hours’ ride from Mexico City. This point Is a junction of National railways from Guadalajara, Aguas Calientes and San Luis Potosi. Three Fortified Towns. Before the three armles arrive there two or three strongly fortified towns held by Huerta’s troops, including Guanajuato and Silao, must be cap- tured. From Celaya, the meeting point, the combined armies would have before them only one fortified city. This is Queratoro, ninety miles from Mexico City, and the place ! where Huerta, according to general belief, intends to make his last stand. General Obregon has advised Gen- eral Carranza that his men In taking (Continued on Fifteenth Page.) ‘Katmal June 9 1912, when Kodiak STUBBORN DEFENSE FOR MRS. WAKEFIELD Counsel for Woman Accused of Mur- der Deny She Will Enter Plea to Lesser Degree of Crime. New Haven, July 10.—With all other criminal business of the present session of the New Haven superior court sent to the background tem- porarily, State's Attorney Alling pre- pared today to be in readiness for the second trial of Mrs. Bessle J. Wake- field, charged with the murder of her husband, William, which will open on Tuesday. There has been a Treport current that Mrs. Wakefield's case might be disposed of by entering of a plea to a lesser degree of crime which would carry a prison sentence, but absolute denial is made of this and evidently Mrs. Wakefleld’'s counsel is ready for a stubborn defence. A panel of eighty-four talesmen has been summoned, which is a larger number than usual. The summoning of talesmen has kept the deputy sheriffs busy for several days. The trial will be in the new court house, Accommodations for spec- tators are limited. Acoustic properties of the room are not good and even among the small number of spec-’ tators who can be given seats many will be unable to clearly hear the tes- timony unless witnesses speak in & loud voice, The moment an attorney or witness raises his voice an echo s created which confuses ti tones. The first trial was in the old court house, where the interested °public was able' to flll seats in a gallery. The deputy sherifts look for many ap- plications for admission to ‘thie trial by reason of the interest awakened in the case. Vi YOLCANOES. ACTIE N ALASKAN PENINSULA Captain McMullen of Steam- er Dirigo Brings News of Activity. Seward, Alaska, July 10.—Further details of the tremendous volcanic ac- tivity in progress along the Alaskan Peninsula, west of Seward and reach- ing to the Aleutian Islands, were given today by Captain McMullen of the steamer Dirigo, which brought first news of the outburst. Obgervations made by the crew of the steamer July. 1 showed that a new ¢rater had opened on the nofth side of Mount Shishaldin, the. most westerly of the three peaks reported in eruption. Flowing lava had cut a wide path through the snow for miles down the side of the mountain. Mount Shishaldin which is on Uni- mak Island, is one of| the most ac- tiye voleanoes in the world and has been in almost continuous eruption for years. i Paviof Volcano, on the Alaska Pe- ninsula west 8¢ the Shumagin Island, 100 miles southeast of Mount Shish- eldin was also active when the Dirigo passed. The action of Pav- lof was peculiar, the mountain throwing out a black ash, the light fall of which was noticed on the Dirigo. Paviof has not been in eruption since 1912, The passengers on the steamer said that fishermen reported two of the six craters in the mountain ridge west of Cook Inlet, known as Mount Kat- mal have been emitting dense voi- umes of sulphur laden smoke, but none of the other craters has been active. The volcances are so remote from civilization that .no -accurate record can be kept of their actlvity, but it is believed that the present activity began late in May as the weather since then has been similar to that following. the first.violent outburst of Island and the adjacent mainland were covered with a deep layer of voleanic ash. For more than six weeks the sky has been overcast with heavy clouds high in the air and there has been more than the usual amount of rain. After a heavy rain three weeks arn; a yellow deposit was observed on the surface of the sea. This is believed to have been sulphur dust thrown out by the volcano and hundreds of miles west of here. NO LICENSE FOR KANRICH, ' Park Street Opposition Prevents Ad- ditional Saloon on That Thoroughfare, Organized opposition against the addition of more saloons on Park street has again proved stronger than the attack of the applicants, for the county commissioners have at last de- cided that Isaac Kanrich shall not have a saloon at No. 331 and 335 Park street. The commissioners de- cided that the place was unsuitable, The hearing was given on June 15, In hopes of securing a license, Mr. Kanrich remodeled- his store at the above location.
