MEXICO CITY, July 19. The gap in
the railway between Vera Cruz ami
Mexico City has been closed and it is
expected that by Tuesday, direct com
munication will ne reestablished be
iween the two cities. President Carba
jal informed the British minister that
orders have been issued for the imme
diate completion of the work.
A trip of investigation through the
district surrounding Mexico City,
proved that recent reports of the ac
tivity of Zapata adherents are exag
gerated. The usual Sunday calm pre
vailed today. A bull fight was the
main attraction.
Apprehensive of Zapata
WASHINGTON", July 19. While
government officials feel the Mexican
problem is rapidly shaping itself for a
solution and that the constitutionalists
and the Carbajal government will soon
reach an agreement for the establish
ment of the new administration, much
apprehension is manifested over the
possible operations of the Zapatista
forces.
Officials here for some time have
been cognizant or the7 strength of the
Zarata troops, but the American gov
ernment ha.s been able to exert with
Zapata to prevent an attack on Mexico
City.
Emissaries from Carranza are now
in communication with Zapata and it
is hoped through these parlies to bring
the military operations of the revolu
tion under one head.

FORNIA, LA PAZ, July 19. Eight
hundred constitutionalists landed on
Friday at Rosario near La Paz, Lower
California. The Carranzaisto governor
of Lower California demanded the sur
render of the city. This was refused
and the successful attack begun. It
lasted six hours. Three federal officers
were executed.
Smuggling Ammunition
EL PASO, July If). An average of
Jti.MiO cartridges daily are smuggled
over the international line here, ac
cording to military officials. The army
patrol Is admittedly powerless to pre
vent the smuggling, it is said, on ac
count of existing regulations of the
war department.
The ammunition is destined not only
for Villa's troops but also for the federal
irregulars. It is not permissible to ar
rest or even detain smugglers, although
the patrol is empowered to stop actual i
smuggling.

Find "Treasure Island" Map
Drawn By R. L. Stevenson
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH
LONDON, July 19. A map of
"Treasure Island" which Robert
Louis Stevenson drew is one of for -ty-eight
unpublished letters and lit
i rary fragments of his which Lloyd
Osbourne, Stevenson's step-son, has
brought to London for sale.
The map was drawn by Stevenson
during Osbourne's schooi days. It
was the second one Stevenson had
made, the original having been lost
on its way to the publishers. Of the
first Stevenson wrote; "The shape
of It took my fancy beyond expres
sion; it contained harbors that
pleased me like sonnets; and with
the unconsciousness of the predes
tined, I ticketed my performance
Treasure Island.' " Of the new one
now on sale, the author said, "But
somehow it was never the same
Treasuro Island to me,"
An interesting letter In the collec

Deported Hindus
Drive Officers
From Steamer
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH
VANCOUVER. B. C, July 19. The
Hindus aboard the Japanese steamer
Komagata Maru repelled a boarding
party of armed guards sent out by
the Canadian immigration authori
se, with bullets and a stream of hot
water, after they hail forcibly taken
the stokers fiom the hold of the
vessel.
Several white men were seriously
injured and two or three Hindus
shot. The white men were roughly
handled by the Hindus on gaining
the deck. This happened early this
morning. The wharves are now
crowded with thousands of persons
and four launches are patrolling the
Komagata and cutting off communi
cation with the shore.
The steamer arrived three months
ago with 3."0 Hindus who claimed -as
British subjects the right to land in
Canada. The Canadian immigration
officials refused them permission on
the ground they were undesirable
persons. The courts sustained the
government and the Japanese cap
tain of the steamer was given until
Saturday night to sail for India with
the Hindus.
The Komagata's captain reported
the passengers prevented him from
getting up steam arid asked assist
ance. One hundred and sixty police
men and immigration officers from a
launch were unable to stay on board
the steamer in the face of the show
er of coal, iron baits, pieces of ma
chinery and hatchets
It is feared that lives will be lost
before the Hindus are subdued, as
virtually prisoners aboard for three
months, they are in a desperate frame
of mind. They are known to have
fire-arms.
FOUND CHARRED BONES
Grewsome Developments in Arkansas
Coal Strike
T ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH
FORT SMITH, A,rk., July 19 The
finding of charred fragments of the
bodies of two men in the ruins of the
log cabin and reports of an attempt to
destroy the surface workings of an
other mine owned by the Bache Den
man company, were today's develop,
ments in the conflict between strikers
and non union miners and other com
pany employes in the Hartford Valley
coal fields.
The discovery of parts of two skulls
and human bones raked from the em
bers of the log cabin is believed to ex
plain the disappearance of two mine
guards after Friday's battle at Prairie
Creek, and tends to confirm the state
ment of Sam Thomas, a company em
ploye, that their bodies were placed in
the cabin and a torch applied.

ROMANCHE TO BE j
OBLIGATORY LANGUAGE I
HERNE, July 19. The voters in
the canton of Grisons have just
balloted almost unanimously in
favor of Romanche being the ob
ligatory language of the courts.
Romanche is a survival of an anci
ent tongue derived from Latin, and
is one of the four languages offi
cially recognized In the Swiss par
liament, the others being German,
French and Italian. Romanche has
been dying for centuries and is
now spoken only in the canton of
Grisons and small districts in east
ern Switzerland where Latin was
planted by the legionaries of Cae
sar who settled there. Several of
the judges in the Grisons courts
and many lawyers practicing in
them have only slight knowledge of
Romanche as cases usually have
been pleaded in German and Ital

At Culebra Has
Been Removed
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCHl
PANAMA, July 19. The house at
Culebra which for seven years has i
been the home of Col. Goethals, has '
been removed. It probably will be re- j
erected at Ancon. on the site of the'
cemetery from which the bodies were
recently disinterred, and again serve
as the home of the governor of the
canal zone until a substantial gover
nor's mansion is built.
In the meantime Col. Goethals is oc
cupying the little cottage at Culebra
formerly occupied by his son, Lieut.
George R. Goethals, recently trans
ferred to West Point.
As soon as the new administration
building is completed at Balboa, Col.
Goethals will transfer bis offices to it
and also will remove his' residence to
Ancon. The two towns practically are
one.
The destruction of the engineer's res
idence marks the beginning of the end
of Culebra which is to be abandoned
along with Empire and other canal
zone towns.
Another Step is Taken To
wards Ifeahzation or Plan
to Give Phoenix Hand
some and Useful Struc
ture Soon
Another step towards the realiza
tion of the plan to give to Phoenix
another handsome building combin
ing the features of a modern public
market and a first class hotel of 170
rooms, was taken on Saturday with
the filing of the articles of incor
poration of the Phoenix Public Mar
ket Company, capitalized at $400,000.
James Westervelt of Sloan, Seabury
and Westervelt, and Fred H. Sears
of 517 North Central avenue, are the
incorporators.
While the articles of incorporation
designate the general nature of the
business proposed to be transacted as
almost anything in the way of oper
ating a public market, and to en
gage in any business, whether man
ufacturing or otherwise, which may
seem advantageous or useful in con
nection therewith, and to manufac
ture, market or prepare for market
any article or thing which the com
pany may use in connection with its
business, the general purpose is to
lease from Mrs. Hattie I. Mosher,
the $U.r)0,000 building she proposes to
erect on First avenue, between Van
Kuren and Polk streets, and! to sub
let booths, storerooms and spaces
therein to marketmen, farmers and
others who may wish to engage in
any one of the several branches of
business usually conducted in a pub
lic market.
No stock in the new company will
be offered for sale locally. A bond
issue has been negotiated with New
York bankers for $2.'i0,000. The mar
ket company will loan $200,000 to
Mrs. Mosher to which she wOI add
approximately $50,000 and erect the
building at a cost of $250,000. This
building together with the half block
on which It will be erected . and
which is valued at about $100,000
will make a total investment of
$350,000 on which the market com
pany will hold a first mortgage of
$200,000. This mortgage, together
with the market income from rentals
will be pledged by deed of truet to
secure the bonds.
Approximately $50,000 realized by
the market company from the lxnd
issue will provide ample capital for
sanitary equipment, fixtures, refriger
ation, etc.
This enterprise Is unique in that
it brings this larger amount of out
side capital into the city, without
requiring the investment of any lo
cal capital.
The Salt River Valley can easily
raise all the produce than can be
consumed in the state and which is
now being imported from California,

Besides Electing a United

Congressmen, the Gov
ernorship is Also ('.'un
tested (Special to The Republican)
DENVER, July 19 The fi.Tt of th
state "assemblies'' in Colorado this
year, that of the progressive party,
meets next Wednesday at Colorado
Springs. This marks the real begin
ning tif what is expected to be one
of the most interesting and exciting
campaigns furnishHl by Colorado
politics in some years. At the elec
tion next November the people must
elect a I'nited States senator, lour
representatives in congress, besides
a governor and oiher state officers
and a great many of the legislators.
Under the laws of Colorado, each
party holds what is known as u state
assembly. The members of the as
sembly are elected by the party or
ganizations of the various counties.
The assembly names a first and sec
ond choice for state offices, and no
more. If there be any other candi
dates before the primaries they must
get on the ticket by petition, the
signers being limited to the bona
fide members of their own parties.
Senator Charles S. Thomas, whose
successor is to be named in Novem
ber, is a democrat. He is a candi
date for renomination. Governor
Amnions, whose term is soon to ex
pire, is a democrat, as are also the
(our congressmen ' whose successors
are to be chosen.
The progressives, who are the first
in the field, feel confident of win
ning at the fall election. The demo
cratic party, they argue, has made
itself absolutely hopeless because of
Ihe state administration's failure to
bring peace in the coal strike. The
republican party, they feel, lias been
so weakened by the toll taken from
it by the progressives that it also
has no chance in the slate. The
progressives are said to have re
ceived overtures for an alliance from
both the demot-.'nts and the republi
cans, but rejected all suggestions for
conferences with either.
The confidence of the progressives
has not prevented both the repub
licans and the democrats from pre
paring for a vigorous campaign. In
inch of the old parties there are a
half dozen candidates for the heau
of the state ticket. The democati
assembly will meet next wefK and
the republican assembly the first
week cf next month.
The women's vote is expected to
be an influential factor both in the
primaries and in the election. Al
though the women of Colorado
fought shoulder to shoulder for
equal suffrage until they had at
tained it. they are divided now just
as emphatically as are the men
politically. While a few of them are
avowed socialists, most of them be
long to one of the three dominant
parties democratic, republican or
progressive. The women, to a much
greater degree than the men, are
strictly partisan in their beliefs and
teachings.
Prominent among the partisan
fighters are Mrs. Gertrude A. Lee,
chairman of the state democratic
committee; Mrs. Dewey C. Bailey,
lcpuhlican; Mrs. Mary C. C. Brad
ford, democrat, and Mrs. E. p. Cos
tigan, wife of Edward P. Costigan,
who is expected to be named as the
first choice of the progressives for
governor.
The activity of tiie women political
leaders equals that of the men. The
democrats among the women are in
a position to spread their doctrine
more successfully than the women of
the other parties by reason of the
fact that the democrats in this state
are in power and many of the office
holders are women.
Mrs. Lee, chairman of the demo
cratic state committee, boasts that
she is a machine politician in every
sense of the word. She. declares the
belief that the party in all cases
should be supported in preference to
the man. Since she became head of
the state committee Mrs. Lee has
visited nearly all the counties of the
state and has conferred with the
heads of the county committees. Her
aim Is to build up a machine in Col
orado that cannot be beaten.
Mrs. Costigan, being a member of
the new party, naturally takes the op
posite view. However, she is just
as loyal a progressive as Mrs. Lee is
a democrat. Mrs. Costigan also has
traveled a great deal over the state,
making speeches for her party. Mrs.
Bailey, republican, has confined much
of her work to Denver, but has made
several trips to different cities in the
state. Mrs. Bradford is one of Mrs.
Lee's chief lieutenants and has trav
eled with her a good deal of the time.
She is said to be one of the most
effective stump speakers in Colorado.

This Week
With the appointment today of a
representative eoiiiiiiitiee of Uventy
five, chosen from e ery section of
the county, the progressives ot Mar
icopa county begin llieir campaign
for the nomination and election of a
full party ticket, on which, it is
planned, shall be placed the names of
the best men available for county
offices. A mass meeting will be
he!d, probably before the end of the
week, at which the report of the
nominating committee will be sub
mitted to the members of the party
for definite action.
Enthusiasm over progressive pros
pects in the coming campaign was
the key-note of the meeting Satur
day, at which the fact was brought
out time and again that the young
party has today the best material to
be found anywhere in the county.
The general dissatisfaction with the
present state administration, caused
by the great increase in expense in
conducting the government, also came
'up for discussion, and it was the
unanimous opinion that the time for
action on the part of the progres
sives of Arizona has come.
A county organization in the form
of a progressive club, in which all
of a progressive club will
be started this week. It will be
modeled after similar clubs in Pima,
Pinal and other counties, which al
ready number their members by the
hundreds, and are expected to be a
big factor in the campaign this fall.
That the selection of the men who
are to lead in the coming fight for
principle is being left to the members
of the rank and file of the party is
considered by many one of the best
features of the way in which the
progressive party is entering the
campaign. At the meeting Saturday
it was brought out with renewed
emphasis that the party is one in
which the wishes of no one man or
set of men control party action, and
that in this respect the progressives
of Arizona offer to the voters of the
state the advantages of an
organization that is not dominated
by boss control.

PARIS. July 19. Although th
Portugese have had four years' ex
perience with republican government,
recent dispatches from Lisbon havn
indicated that the legislative ma
chinery is still far from working
smoothly. There is hardly a day
when there are not riotous scenes in
the ancient parliament buildings.
The galleries of both houses ere fill
ed with armed partisans who ap
plaud, deride, denounce or hiss the
utterances of the speakers.
The fact that the presidential and
parliamentary elections, the second in
the history of the new republic, are
pending has lately brought the
struggle for power to a high pitch of
excitement. The decree of the gov
ernment fixing the date of elections
has not yet been issued, but it is
expected that they will be held the
latter part of August or early in
September. Dr. Manoel Arriaga, the
first president under the new consti
tution, cannot be candidate for re
election. The election of the president is
made by the two houses of parlia
ment. The democrats, led by Dr. Alfonso
Costa, have a majority in the pres
ent house of deputies. A typical
scone was witnessed there recently
when the revolutionists, whose chief
is Dr. Almeida, accused the demo
cratic ministry of conniving at gross
frauds in connection with a con
fession to Antonio Maria da Silva.
formerly minister of public works, to
exploit the water power of Rodman
falls, which engineers consider ade
quate to supply power and light to
Lisbon and all of its surrounding
provinces. Silva is now director of
posts and telegraphs, and one of the
triumvirate ruling the powerful se
cret society, known as the Carbon
aiia, with its 20,0fl0 members.
The society is a sort of government
in the shadow along side the govern
ment in the open. Cabinets come
and go, while the Carbonaria exists
always. Only vague rumors of in
trigue and conspiracy within the so
ciety reach the public, but there are
frequent instances of the. power the
society wields.
Debates on the water concession
were interrupted by furious cries and
disorders in the galleries of the cham
ber recently. The spectators were
all armed with revolvers. When the
president of the chamber ordered the
police to clear them out, the fac
tionists in the galleries united against
the officers, and, revolvers in hand,
massed C each entrance to the
house, defying the police to lay
hands on any one. As a result of
parleys, the police agreed to make
no arrests provided the spectators
agreed to leave quietly-, as they did.
In the meantime the deputies were
using canes and fists upon one an
other. Dr. Bernardino Machado, the

a. significant step toward meeting Ihe
