Job During Peace
Confab
WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.—President
Wilson's new Colorado strike commis
sion will “get on the Job” immediate
ly. The president received word to
day from Seth Low, of New York, its
chairman, that he 1s ready to begin
negotiations tor a permanent settle
ment at once. He and his associates,
l’utrick Gilday, of Clearfield, Pa., and
Charles W. Mills, of Philadelphia, will
arrange to meet at once with the Col
orado operators. The representatives
of the department of labor now In
Colarod, have ueeu instructed to con
fer with the leaders ol tin* mining cor
porations, and plan the work for the
new commission.
The president is confident that his
commission will have the same suc
cess In settling the present trouble
us did that of Col. Roosevelt In the
Pennsylvania anthracite conflict. He
believes that the commission will
evolve a plan of settlement that will
permit the reopening of the mines
and the withdrawal of the federal
troops. He Is convinced that al
though the representatives rejected
his former offer made through an un
official commission, the standing of
the men on the present body ls such
that any effort they may make for
peace will be welcomed by all con
cerned.
If hla plans work out. It so believed
the president will suggest that a com
mission of this sort be created by
congress for future action In similar
controversies. The success of the
federal mediation commission, which
nas settled all railroad disputes with
out strike since its Inception, has con
vinced the president that some such
body should be In existence to act In
other industries.
Meanwhile, It Is stated that the fed
eral troops will remain In Colorado
until the I-ow commission can* com
plete Its efforts to reconcile the min
ors and operators.

Police Think “Terrorists” May

When Emilio Clpolleseii, proprietor
of the rooming house at No. 13U Rus

the second floor at 6 o’clock Monday
morning he stumbled over a tin olive
oil can that stood Just outside the
door. The can was decidedly heavy,
and as Clpolleseii stoope dto examine
it, he saw a fuse, about six inches
long, protruding from the top of the
can that had been neatly cemented.
The fuse hud gone out, however, from
some cause that is a puzzle to the
police, und the flve pounds of gun
powder in the bomb was not ex
ploded.
Cipolleueli’s wife and two children
were asleep in the bedroom, outsldo
which the bomb lay. Fifteen board
ers were in the houae.
Cipollestll at once notified the po
lice, and Detectives Patrick O'Orady
and D. O. Smith were sent out to
Investigate. The only explanation
that they can give for the failure of
the fuse, is that the ‘•terrorists" did
not intend to destroy Clpolleseii und
bis family and hoarders, but only to
frighten them, and that after lighting
the fuse and letting it burn for a
moment, they pinched the fuse und
left the bomb by the door, an object

might accomplish if they wanted to.

MEXICO NOW HAS
3 FULL-FLEDGED
GOVERNMENTS
Others Believed Ready to Burst
Into Bloom; Battle For Su
premacy is Imminent
CAPITAL NOW IS
QUIET, SAY REPORTS
Washington Will Protect For
eign Interests, and Let Fac
tions Fight it Out
WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.—With
three distinct governments proclaimed
in Mexico and others believed ready
to burst Into bloom, the beginning of
a battle royal which will show one
distinct faction supreme, was in sight
today. The latest claimant reported,
Gen. Pablo Gonzales, lias heretofore
been looked upon as one of Carrauza’s
chief supporters and his reported de
fection may prove serious to the for
mer first chief.
Gonzales is reported at P&chuca, 40
miles northeast of Mexico City with
the outposts of Villa's army In close
proximity. News of fighting between
them was expected. At the same time
C&rranzista and Villa forces are rac
ing for Tampico where Gen. Luis
Caballero has repudiated Carranza
and declared for Villa and the Gutleb
rez govern ment.
Mexico City, now held by Zapata
troops with several of Villa’s veteran
regiments In reserve -is reported
qnlet. The reorganized police force
is in complete control and all threat
ened rioting Is being effectively
stamped out.
Vera Cruz with Carranza In charge
Is also tranquil although fighting Is
reported between there and Mexico
City. Unofficial reports that Carranza
has demanded the withdrawal of the
battleships now In the harbor are not
treated seriously In administratfcm
circles. It Is said that, If such de
mand has been made, it is for “home
consumption" and with no belief that
it will he acceded to.
The administration expects general
fighting at many points In Mexico
during the next few’ weeks. It be
lieves that it Is necessary to clear
the air and show who really Is In
control. Meantime the government
will devote all of Its energies to see
ing that foreign Interests are protect
edwhile the Mexicans “work out their
own salvation.”
EL PASO, Texas. Nov. 30. —Oen.
Felipe Angeles, chief lieutenant of
Villa, is enroute to Mexico City to
day with an lnfantxy division with in
structions to protect the foreign lega
tions. Villa ordered Angeles to the
capital when the latter returned to
Tula after capturing Guadalajara, but
dispatches early today said that Villa
himself has not yet decided to enter
Mexico City at once.
The Zapata forces in Mexico City
sent a special train and a delegation
to Tula Sunday to escort Villa to the
capital. Their plans called for his
triumphal entry into the city today,
hut for some reason the northern
leader delayed his entry and was .v
--ported among Villtsta leaders at
Juarez, that Villa’s leader entering
the capital, may decide to move at
once against Gen. Pablo Gonzales,
who is reported to have repudiated
both Carranza and the Aguas (‘alien
tes convention and to have declared
himself provisional president of
Mexico.
