SPLIT IN WESTERN FEDERATION OF MINERS. Rioting Continues in Montana by Se ceding Members. Butte, Mont;; Jusis i—Rioting by se- ceding members of the local union of the Western Federation of Miners con- tinued all last night and today, but with the announcement tonight that Governor S. W. Stewart would arrive before morning to investigate the situ- ation some semblance of order was re- stored. After dynamiting and looting the safe of the local union last midnight, tnost of the 2,000 revolters against ex- tra assessements and the card system of the union continued to parade the streets. Dynamite was exploded under the poreh of the home of P. K. Sull- van, an officer of the miners’ union and the seceders vowed that a new un- ion would be formed under leadership of the Industrial Workers of the the World. g Although several hundred miners returned to work today many disorder- ly persons kept up riotous tactics In the afternoon a crowd took two pris- oners from the city jail and later seiz- ed'a fire truck. A false alarm of fire had been turned in and the firemen tried to run the fire apparatus through the crowd. A\ Delegations were sent to twd stations with a demand that the fire depart- ment make sure there was a fire be- fore answering the alarm. The crowd broke several windows and did other damage to one fire station, Threats were made to lynch Deputy Sheriffs Owen Cribben and Martin Harkins but the officers were guarded by the police who arrested two men. The policemen with drawn revolvers backed down an alley but the crowd became so menacing that Chief of Po- lice Jere Murphy ordered the two pris- oners released. The rioters carried the two men away on their shoulders A delegation visited the three mews- paper offices and demanded thgt no further mention be made derogatory to the Industrial Workers of the World and that the words “mob” and “rioters” should not appear in any story of the situation. The remainder of the day was spent in parading the streets until members of the newly-appointed executive com- mittee of the insurgent members, con- situting themselves a law and order committee, informed the marchers that no more disorder would be tolerated. The committee finally dispursed the miners to their homes. DIFFICULTIES OF SELECTING PROVISIONAL - PRESIDENT. Many "Names Have Been Suggested, But None Found Desirabl Niagara Falls, Ont, June 14—Al-| though there were no conferences to- day between the mediators and the American or Mexican delegates, it was apparent that things were making for a titanic struggle in diplomacy between the United States and the Huerta gov- ernment during the coming week. While mediation has passed safely over many an obstacle in its month journey toward the formulation of & Teace plan, the factor on which peace in Mexico most depends—the selection of a provisional president acceptable to all of the factions—has brought the entire mediation body to a realization that ultimately on this point mediation will succeed or fail. Many names have been suggested, but thus far none has names will continue for several days. The United States has taken a firm position that a constitutionalist must be selected for the new provisional | presidency to succeed Huerta. The Mexican delegates have shown a dis- tinct apathy toward such a selection. The American government feels that it will be held responsible by the pow- ers of Europe and the world generaliy for what happens In Mexico. FEurope has refrained from taking a hand, only because it has been looking to the United States to solve the problem. ‘The opportunity has not yet come for the American government to out- line its alternate course of action should mediation fail. While the United States might resume its atti- tude of passive observation as the con- stitutionalists pressed onwards, inti- mations have come from well informsd quarters that on the other hand Amer- jcan occupation of Mexico City might De the ultimate outcome, The discussion of names, it fs be- lieved, will develop soon what *policy the United States will be forced to pursue, for the Mexican delegates have shown no inclination as yet to accept a constitutionalist Monuement * Dedicated at West War- wick. ‘West Warwick, R.

Lassen Emits Volcanic Fire LASTED THIRTY MINUTES One Man Reported Killed, One Injured and Ten Driven Insane as Result of Terrific Outburst—Pillar of Smoke Could be Seen in Towns Fifty Miles Distant. Redding, June 14—Mount Lassen finally erupted with volcanic fire todny and one man is reported killed, one in- jured and two driven temporarily in- sane as a result of the terrific outburst from the crater which had been laten for many years. - . The sixth eruption on Mount Lassen cicurred early today and shot a huge column of dense biack smoke, steam and ashes twe thousand feet into the ar. The eruptidn lasted thirty, minutes. The crater had been greatly damaged b the latest outbreak. The pillar of smoke was seen in towns fifty miles distant. Party of Eight Overwhelmed. Reports that seem to be authentic came tonight that a party of eight men who had ventured mear the crater just before the sixth eruption this forenoon were overwhelmed by a sudden explo- sion that sent a mass of rocks, ashes and thick smoks some 2,000 fect In the ain A rock fell on Lansing Graham, & lumberman of Viola, Cal., according to the report, and fatally injured him. Another man in the party was severely injured. The wounded man, with the aid of his compaaions, fled from ihe scene as rapidly as possible. Two others are sald to be missing. Greatly Enlarged Crater. There was a seventh outbreak of ihe peak this evening, and tonight persons at Red Bluff reported that flames could be seen issuing from the greatly en- | larged crater. The latent volcano seem- ed to be in full eruption after nearly two weeks of what appeared to ov geyser activity. Steam and vapor had been emitted and some rocks and asn had been reported during the interven- ing outbreaks. Two new craters, in addition to one blown oper on May 30, burst from the mountainside tonight. Fire from them was seen from roofs in various towns at considerable distance. The first eruption today came from the crater of May 30. It was this ex- plosion that killed Graham. A jagged rock sawed him nearly in two, cutting off his arm and exposing his heart. He was taken to Viola, a few miles dis- tant, and dled there. Two Men Missing. Hugh Addington and Hiram Blodgett are missing and a Mr, Stipple was seri- ously bruised ahd cut by rocks. Six of the party saved themselves by burying their faces in the snow and avolding the pulsonous guses which belched from the volcano. They found Graham and Stipple after the guses had lifted somewhat. Tonight's erup- tion, the seventh of the series starting May 30, was not so bad as the one to- day. The two new craters, as nearly as can be determined, are about a mile apart. They were torn in the mountainside simultaneously with the first appear- ance of fire. The sixth outburst occurred early today. Throughout the middle of the day the crater was quiescent, but at i P. m. a second, funnel of smoke and ashes shot skyward. Todays' eruptions were more violent than any that have preceded it since the volcanic nature of the peak became evident recently after a rest of many years. Today’s activity was remarkable for the quantity of smoke and mineral sub- stance which burst from the mountain. The heavy cloud was blown northward for several miles. The height of the eruption has been reduced, it is be- lieved, by the enlargement of the cra- ter. The entire snow-capped peak has been blanketed with & black covering of ashes. GAS EXPLOSION KILLS FOUR MEN. Ocourred Which a Gang of Laborers Were at Work. Columbus, O., June 14—Five men, four of them foreigners, are dead and !ten are in hospitals, probably fatally injured, as the result of a gas explo- sion which occurred here today in a trench in which a gang of laborers were laying a gas main. Five other men were painfully burned, but they will recover, according to physicians. The cause of the accident has no. been fully defermined, but it is be- leved that a“cap on a joint of gas pipe was blown off and that the escap- ing gas was ignited by a lighted cigas- ette. The death list includes George W. Scott, aged 40, of Columbus. REV. L. T. CHAMBERLAIN LEFT OVER $100,000. Former Broadway Church Pastor Made Several Public Bequests.

Rome, June 14.—With the eccupa- tion of the disaffeeted provinces by the military forces, order is rapidly being restored, and it is expected that ‘within a day or two the entire district of Romagna, comprising the provinces of Bologna, Ferrara, Ravenna and Fer- I, will have resumed its normal con- dition. In the Lugo district, however, in which there are many villages, dis- turbances eontinue, owing to the non- arrival of troops and at Ancona signs of diseontent persist, as the anarchist propaganda Is still being carried on. Troops Quard Telegraph Lines. The general strike has ended, and the strike of the railway men, which included only a small number of em- ployes, has been calied off with the result that the workingmen are re- turning to their tasks. Railroad, tele- graph and telephone lines are hur- redly being repaired. Ravenna and Pimini have again been connected by telegraph. These lines were cut five times, each time being repaired with difficulty and they are now guarded by troobs. The rallway line between these two points has been restored by the use of a military train with sharpshooters. The first train sent over the line from Ferrara to Ravenna was loaded with soldiers, who kept a sharp lookout for the revolutionists who have been destroying everything Within thelr zone of action. | Town Without Lighting Fac i es.

Admiral Cagni, who was in com- |mand of the Italian bluejackets on the | first landing in Tripoli, has now un- der his direction the quelling of dis- orders at Ancona. A detachment of bluejackets from his naval division has reinforced the garrison there. Before lanfing, the admiral reminded his men that they were Italian sailors and had never endured insuits, either abroad | or at home. He hoped that they would { be_worthy of their traditions on this occasion. Shortly afterwards a mob attacked the station which was guard- ed by sailors, and the bluejackets with fixed bayonets charged the revolution- ists, who fled before them. Anarchists Organize Court. When the revolutionary movement began at Ancona a week ago, the an- archists headed by Malatesta organ- ized a committee composed of thir- teen members before which persons suspected of not favoring the revolu- tionary cause were summoned or taken by force and interrogated and judged according to their ability to prove thelr allegiance or evade the questions, Among others thus interrogated was | Count Ugolini, of Pesaro, who was seized while driving in his automo- | pile. | _ The count pretended to sympathize with the resolutionists ang finally a red flag was raised over his automo- bile, and he was ordered to drive | through the district, accompanied by a member of the committee nicknamed “Robespierre” and spread the news of the advent of the republic. Publish Special Newspaper. The anarchists published a special newspaper, which they called the “Brutus Gazette.” This contained in large type the following announce- ment: “A revolution has broken out and is spreading through Romazna. The Quirinal has so far escaped invasion by the revolutionary bosses, but is threatened. The monarchy has been condemned and may fall today or to- morrow—certainly soon. Therefore | we must act most energetically. Any hesitation or weakness today is cow- ardice, treason, imbecility.” By means of this “official” organ, reports were spread throughout the surrounding country that fifty people had been Idlled in Ancona, that a pro- vislonal government had been instalied at Milan, that Tuscany had risen and that the navy had mutinied.
