Though there are any reports to the contrary, there are many matters of great importance in- volved which will have a bearing on the situation and which are not to be overlooked.” Mutiny Among Federal Troops. The mutiny which has broken out among Mexican federal soldiers near Americgn outposts at Vera Cruz was a i subject of keen interest in American | official quarters, and several messages on the subject were received from General Funston, who reported that fighting between the federals and mu- tineers was in progress.

Wanted Permission to Direct Mutiny. An element of humor was injected into the situation when a_report of the revolutienary junta at Vera Cruz asked General Funston for permission for himself and others to go out and direct the mutiny. Reporting his re- fusal of this request, the general said | no incidents had been reported from the outposts. He added that trains had made-the trips back and forth be- tween Temblade-Ras and Vera Cruz. Passengers estimated that the forces engaged in quelling the mutiny num- bered 1,500, but General Funston thought the number was exaggerated. 1s here see danger for General Huer- | Huerta should the mutiny cut off his | means for an exit from Mexico City. His early departure-is assumed in offi- cial circles, but if the mutineers tri- umph in their present uprising it is pointed out that Huerta and his fol- lowers could scarcely expect safe con- duct to the gulf comst through the en- emy’s linea. DESPERATE CONDITION IN ILLINOIS INDUSTRY. 40,000 Out of 90,000 Miners in the State Out of Work. Springfield, Tis., July 7.— A des- nlte condition in the coal mining ustry in Illinols was depicted by Duncan MecDonald, Secretary-treas- wurer of the Iilinois Mine Workeers, addressing the state efficiency and economy committes at its meeting to- day at the state house, considering reorganization of the labor and min- ing agencies of Illinols. Forty thous- and of the ninety thousand members of his order in the state are out of ‘work, said Mr. McDonlad, because of everdoing of the industry in Iinois. “Many of these miners are on the werge of starvation,” said the speak- &r, “as we have not enough money in our relief fund to supply them all. Eighteen mining companies failed last year. Too many mines are being opened. There should be a law here, like that in Germany, restricting the opening of new mines.” WARBURG WAVERING. Belief That He May Accept Nomina- tion to Federal Reserve Board. W m, July 7—With Presi- @ent Wilson urging Panl M. War- ®urs, the New York banker, to recon- sider his request that his nomination as a member of the federal reserve board be withdrawn, it was reported tonight in corcles close to the White House that Mr. Warburg was waver- fng and that there was a possibility of his changing his mind. The pres- nt himself is said to believe he will a hard time finding another man as familiar with foreign banking con- ditions who will .accept the place. Members of the state banking com- mittee were inclined today to comn- sider that Mpz. Warburg had finally eliminated himself by his telegram to Chairman Hitcheock declining to ap- pear and submit to questioning oy the ocommittee. In this message, made public soon after the announcement from the White House of the request for the withdrawal of the nomination Mr. Warburg sald he feit the action of the committee in holding up his ap- pointment and one other while three were confirmed would impair his use- fulness as a mamber of the reserve board.

Seven Coal Cars Also Upset—Hand Car Did the Damage. Clinton, Conn., July 7.—Traffic om the Shore Line branch of the New ‘Haven railroad was blocked for a time by a collision between an eastbound freight train and a handcar near the Grove Beach station late today. No one was injured. The engine of the freight was derailed and thrown on its side, three coal cars and a boxcar were smashed and two other coal cars over- turned. The engineer and fireman stuck to their cab and crawled out un- ‘hurt afterwards. The freight train was in charge of Conductor Hyde and Engineer Wilson. The handedr belonged to a section gang at work near by. On the handcar were two steel rails. One of these rammed the locomotive in such a manner that the engine was thrown several feet into the air before landing with its tender on its side in some marshy land on the south side of the tracks. The roadbed was torn up and the rails bent and twisted. One car loaded with coal was thrown cross- ‘wise of the tracks,’ effectually blocking traffic. The wrecker sent from New ‘Haven had the westbound track cleared for trafic early in the evening, but it ‘was believed that the task of repairing the eastbound line would eonsume. the greater part of the night. Local trains transferred their passengers around the obstruction, while the express trains were detoured over the Say- brook-Middletown branch. BAY STATE LEGISLATURE ADJOURNS AFTER 183 DAYS Barbers Bill In Member's 'Pocket, Caused Delay—Mock Session At Close.

The annual mock session was held while the houses marked time for one cause or another and the legislators heard former Mayor John F. Fitzgerald sing “Sweet Adeline” from the speaker’s chair of the house.

The session lasted 183 days, a period exceeded by only three other legisla- tures. Governor Walsh signed 956 acts and Tesolves. He was sustained on every one of the 14 yetoes which he sent down. Most the vetoes were on bills calling for appropriations for state institutions, which would hove increaseq the state tax.

WILL DEMAND INDICTMENT AGAINST WOMAN NEW WITNESS APPEARS Has Tale of Woman Who Would Pay $50 to Have Revolver Brought to Her On Dr. Carman’s Lawn. Freeport, N. Y., July 7.—The grand Jury will begin its investigation of the murder of Mrs. Loulse Bailey in Mineola, the county seat, on Thursday District Attorney Smith announced to- night. He added that he would de- mand that an indictment charging murder be returned against a woman whom he said he was positive was the person who just a week ago broke a window pane in the office of Dr. Ed- win Carman and fired a bullet into the heart of Mrs. Bailey, there for a consulation. 2 Upon what evidence the demand for the indictment would be the district attorney would not say. He admitted, however, thers was a possi- bility the grand jury might not heed his demand because of of sum- cient evidence. “T Dbelieve, thoughl’ he went on, “that the indictment will be returned. If the unexpected should happen the evidence at hand now .and any new facts that may be discovered will be presenteq to the next grand jury. I intend to have this woman indicted if I have to present the evidence to every grand jury that meets in Nassau County for the nexd ten years. The story told by the witness who was rexamined in secret during the recess between the morning and after- noon sessions of the Inquest yesterday was revealed today. Story of New Witness. A half hour before the morning proceedings opened, a man whose name the officials say will remain a Secret until Thursday, walked up_to Carl Darenburg, a captain of the local police department and boldly inform- ed him that he knew who had killed Mre, Balley. He then told the cap- tain the story he later repeated to the district attorney, his assistants and several detectives. Briefly, it is as follows: ~Woman Agreed to Pay $50. Last Tuesday morning the woman suspect met him (the new witness) and a man whose name he gave and who he said is now in Kansas City, in New York. The woman agreed to give them $50 if one would bring a revolver and deliv@r it to her on the lawn at the side of Dr. .. 's home, The new witness and"the man, he declared ‘has since -fled, came to Freeport from New York on the same train with the woman. The man now missing had the revolver In his pocket. “At half past seven o'clock that night he went to the Carman home and there met the woman, who said She wanted to ‘scare’ some one inside. After a short talk the woman teok the revolver, the man propped up the screen and broke the window and then stood to one side while the woman thrust the weapon through the open- ing that hed been made and fired. Then, according to this story, she handed the revolver hack te her ac- complice, who leaped over the low fence at the side of the house and made good his esecape, while the wo- man disappeared in another direc- tion” Failed to Turn Over Money. According to the story, the man who. told it decided to inform the au- thorities when his companion failed to turn over the money collected for bringing the revolver from New York and carrylng it away. It was at first decided to hold the man who told the story as a material witness. After detectives had taken him to sev- i eral places in an attempt to verify his assertions, however, and he had assured the district attorney that he would not go away, he was alowed to return to his home. District Attcrney Doubts Story. ‘“The man is under no restraint now,” District Attorney Smith said, “but he is of course being watched by detectives. He will be in Mineola when the grand jury meets and I will allow him to be questioned at that time. I do not know whether to be- believe his story or not. I am inclined to think it unveracious. But you can depend upon it that 4t is being fully investigated. Accorging to the story he told .us the first 'name of the man who carried the revolver was George and he is known in New York as a gunman. The woman who hired him met him In the office of a detective. I may bring this witness before the grand jury on Thursday. . In a statement today, Coronor Nor- ton declared it was iy possible he might hold some one for the mur- “der upon the conclusion of the inquest. He added that he may decide upon a verdict before tomorrow night. District Attorney 8mith was inform- ed tonight that J. Howe of Philadel- phia had admitted it was he who.call- ed up David Kennedy yesterday and informed him he was ready to make an afidavit that a woman he knew had vowed she would kill Dr. Car- man. - ‘T have heard ths story told by Howe,” said Mr. Smith, “and I have heard all about the .telephone call. 1 have also been informed that Mr. Howe sald in Philadelphia today that he had been informed that detectives had been unable to find the woman at her home in Freeport. If any de- tectives were looking for her I know nothing about it. We have run down several stories of this kind and found there was nothing to them.” MRS.

New Haven, July 7—Judge Reed in the superior court late today denidd a motion of counsel for Mrs. Bessie ‘Wakefield, charged with the murder of ‘her husband, Willlam Wakefield, that the case be put over .until the next term of the superior court.

Newport, R. I, July 7.—Thick weather this forenoon prevented the cup class yachts, Defiance, Resolute end Vanitie from salling their first trial race, which was to have been held by the Eastern Yacht club. i4 the weather is more propitious tomor- row the yachts will go out, although the sea outside at sunset tonight was sufficient to keep all but the staunch- est coastwise craft in snug harbors. Defiance Felt the Full Force. One of the largest fleets of yachts seen in Newport harbor for several years rode out the storm without trouble, as the heft of the blow was from the southwest. The Resolute and Vanitie were at anchor in Bren- ton’s cove well under the lee of Fort Adams when the storm broke last night, but the Deflance was at a mooring off the torpedo station and this forenoon was feeling the full force of the gale as it drove up Nar- ragansett bay. The big mahonany boat rocked and tugged at her anchor chain so lively that this afternoon her tender took her In tow and gave her smoother water well inside the Reso- lute. The change was made with consider- able difficulty for there was a heavy sea running and lines had to be passed to the tenders. Although the thick weather was of- ficially the cause of the postponement of the day's sport, none of the man- agers of the cup yachts were particu- larly keen for racing in a gale of wind. FEach knew that he was taking chances with yachts so lightly con- structed, rigged and s and to face dismasting and the chance of be- ing out of the trials for a week, was too much of a proposition for any Becretary of State Bryan has leased & summer home at Asheville, N.

Barly in the day he will go to New York for a meeting at progres- stve headquarters with the state lead- ers. George W. Perkins also will at- tend. The selection of a nominee for gov- ernor is to be brought up again in the hope of deciding whether Colonel Roosevelt will run. It was believed tonight, however, that no settlement of this question tomorrow would be possible. = Colonel Roosevelt has not vet learned whether he would be physically able to make the campaign. Another complication which probably Will delay matters is the recent pro- position that the progressives and in- dependent democrats co-operate.

Outcome of the Torreon € Villa Hopes Compaoct Will be Kept. Torreon, Mexico, July 7—General Venustiano Carranza has been recog- nized as first chief of the constitu- tionalist revolution and General Fran- ! cisco Villa is subordinate to him.
