The supply of hearses was inade- quate and there were only fourteen of these vehicles in the van. Then rame three undertakers’ wagons and gn automobile truck, the latter carry- fng three coffins. These vehicles con- tained the adult victims and the older hildren.

Hymns Chanted as Cortege Moved. Fifty singers chanted hvmns in the wake of the children carriers. . Most of them were English miners, who had Jearned in Cornwall to chant Christ- mas carols in the streets and vears 2zo brought this old custom to the cop- Der country. Today, however, they did not sing songs of a new life born. Jesus Lover of My Soul, Rock of Ages and Nearer My God to Thee came from throats thick with emotion, but the harmonies were full and rich.

Charged With Responsibility for Panic in Italian Hall. :Chicago, Dec. 28.—An appeal to con- gress to investigate conditions in the copper country of Michigan was made today by the Chicago Federation of Labor, in resolutions which directly charged owners of the mines and their agents with being respoasible for the tragedy of Christm: When 72 children and adults lost their lives. The resolutions also charged that Houghton county is under a govern- ment by gunmen by orders of the mine owners, and that Charles H. Moyer, president of the Western Federation of Miners, was assaulted, shot and driven out of Hancock by thugs and gunmen. f The announcement that the Western Federation of Miners will concentrate its strength on the copper strike was made by Tanco Terzich, a member of the executive board. Ivery member of the board, he said, plans to go to copper mining region next week. are going to win that strike or break up the organization,” he said. "As soon as Mr. Moyer is_ able he will be there as the leader.” Charlgs H. Tanner, auditor of the Western Federation, who, with Moyer, was escorted from Hancock, stirred the fire against the Citizens’ Alliance. “We have ample evidence,’ he sald. “Half a dozen will testify that the man who called ‘Fire!’ in Ttalian hall wore a. Citizens' Alliance button.” Violence Advocated. Emmett T, Flood, national organizer of the American Federation of Labor, was the only speaker directly counsel- ing violence. “Meet them with their own weap- ons,” he urged. “If it is known that the state and county government will not give the protection guaranteed un- er the constitution, every man who goes to the strike region should have his own protection with him.” John H. Walker, president of the Ilinois United Mine Workers, urged that relief was to be found in the bal- lot. Barrett (’Hara, leutenant gov- ernor of Tilinois, and Claude Taylor, president of the Michigan Federation of Labor, also spoke. It was at the conclusion of the speeches that the resolutions were adopted. The resolutions related the conditions of labor of the miners, de- clared that representatives of both state and national governments, after investigation, had found that the min- edrs had a real grievance, and conclud- ed: Resolution to Congress. “Resolved, That the assembled citi- zens of the United States appeal as a last resort, to the congress of the Unit- ed States to investigate conditions in the copper country. of Michigan, to the end that the people of this country may know the trtuh and that all zens may be protected in their rights guaranteed by the constltution.” There is only the remote chance that the wound in Charles H. Mover's back will prove fatal, it was said tonight. Probably within ten days he will be back in the copper country of Michi- gan, directing the strike, as president of the Western Federation of iners. Optimistic news of his condition came from St. Luke's hospital -when the skiagraph showed that the bullet was embedded in the muscles of the left shoulder.

Dr. Jones preached fervent- Iy. oI selected a text,” he said, knowing that it would be my distin- guished honor to preach before the president of the United States, but I wanted to give all of you something helpful that would remain with you in the days to come.

A new era has dawned in the world’s diplomacy that will see emblazoned around the coronets of princes and the crowns of emperors the teaching of a new interpretation of man’s duty to man.” Methusaleh’'s Untimely End. The Rev. Dr. Jones did not know to- day about the president’s birthday, though his sermon was devoted to re- flections on the passing twelve months. “Methusaleh lived to be 969 years old,” said the preacher, “but was drowned in the flood. He lived all these years, yet, as we say in common parlance, he didn't know enough to come in out of the wet.” The president smiled. ‘Exlemporaneously and with many an jllustration of homely thought, the minister unfolded his ideas. He was an interesting figure as he talked— white hair, gold spectacles that hid sunken eyes, a wrinkled face and lips that trembled with the nervousness of age, but he enunciated his thought with intense feeling. Preached Before President Garfield. When_ the sermon was finished a choir of seven lifted their volces in song. Then followed a short prayer, concluding the service. The entire congregation stood in solemn silence until the president and his party passed out.

One of Conditions for Peace Demand- ed by the Rebels. Chihuahua, Mexico, Dec. 28—"Noth- ing less than the fall of Huerta aad his banishment from the country will be considered as a preliminary toward peace in Mexico,” sald General Fran cisco Villa today. *“Any overtures for a compromise would be treated with contempt Dby the revolationists.” General Villa was prompted to 4is- cuss the subject because of the repe- tition of a report M City that General Huerta was :mm ol taking the field against the rebets it was not considered in any way as a possible peace move, The subject of Deace, however, came up in Gen. Villa's councils and the rebel leader was moved to oufline the rebels views in case future events brought them to consideration, In substance the terms demanded by the rebels are: “The elimination of General Huerta and his supporters. “The complete surrender to the con- stitutionalist cause of politiclans now opposing it. \The restoration of the constitution, “The selaction of a provisional pres- ident acceptable to the constitutional- gtl and provisions for a popular elee- on, “Guarantes of a change in the land laws #o that deeds-to land would be more generally distributed. “Ratification of confiscation by the rebels of the vast Terrazas, Creel and other estates, valued at many milllons of dollars. “Nullification of all acts of the Huer- ta regime.” Opinions of General Villa's advisers were that General Huerta would not resign and that the rebels must ad- here to their original plan of fight- ing their way to Mexico City. “Our cause has progressed to such a point that we would treat any sug- gestions of a compromise with com- | tempt,” sald General Villa. “Wa re- zard Huerta as a traitor who has | dragged his country through bloud for personal ambitions. We have gone | through go much distress for the sakc - | of freedom that we would not now stop { short of 1e. “Within & few months we have won almost all of the north from the usurper. Our forces have Increassd from a few hundred until they now number more than twenty thousand This pumber will grow, for in every city that we take, hundreds are realv | to Join. By the time we reach the ci { of Mexico we shall have enough men |in arme completely to overwhelm tha | | | federals. And we intend to fight wntil there is no more fighting to do.” The ldea that Genera] Huerta might take the fleld against the rebels, Gen- eral Villa said, caused no terror to him, although General Huerta is fam- illar with the north country, having commanded forces here during the Orozeo revolt against Madero. ifife-m dev-avimanH. ocof-nbligat = CARRANZA’S STATEMENT.
