The amount of bail in each case was $200 The defendants came here with the avowed purpose of heckling the Rock efellers on the Colorado strike situa tion. They are to be tried beginning next Friday. States Ask PEACE fij Niagara Falls, Ont., June 9.— Mexico will not be asked by the United States to pay a war indem nity. The Huerta government learned through the American delegates that the Wilson adminis tration would be content to have set up in Mexico a stable govern ment to succeed Huerta's rule. The intimation that the United States would not demand repara tion for the losses sustained at Vera Cruz or expect to be recoup ed for the enormous expenditures already made in the attempt to pacify Mexico were given to the mediation delegates soon after the conference opened. This made it easy for the opposing delegates to meet harmoniously, and was re sponsible largely for the ease with which a general understanding was reached between them. It lent consistency to the American demand that consideration be given the constitutionalist cause. It was announced by the media tors that they would make pub lic today correspondence with the constitutionalists but word was received today through the Ameri can delegates that Carranza's an swer to their latest note had al ready been dispatched to Washing ton and would be forwarded by the constitutionalist representative. It was decided, therefore to with hold publication for the present, Niagara Falls, June 9.—The media tors submitted to the Mexican dele gates the counter proposals of the American government for the pacifica tion of Mexico. The American plan, with a few modifications, is the same as that which the mediators and Mex ican delegates recently agreed upon, and which Huerta approved. It provides the method of transfer ring the executive power in Mexico City from the present regime to the new provisional government which, in a few months, will conduct elections for president, vice president and mem bers of congress. No names have been agreed upon between the Mexi can or American delegates for a pro visional president or his cabinet. In fact, neither side has yet made its nominations. The program of proceedings is about as follows: Within a day or two the Mexican plan and the American plan will have been dovetailed into one. A full con ference of all parties will be called. Final approval is not expected imme diately from either party however, as the mediators will then ask the Amer ican delegates to ascertain the atti tude of the constitutionalists. The mediators will take a brief recess in the meantime. When an agreement is reached with the constitutionalists the results will be placed before the mediation board and Huerta delegates. If the consti tutionalists are willing to discuss a peace plan with the American gov ernment, it is expected an agreement will be reached in a short time. Final communication from the medi ators in reply to a note brought here by Juan F. Urquidl referred to a para graph saying the differences between the United States, and Mexico, "ought not to be resolved without the con stitutionalists being represented." The mediators asked if this meant that Carranza was willing to enter the negotiations on the original terms, if so. the note said, delegates should be sent here immediately. No answer from the constitutional ists, which does not declare for an Continued on Page Six.

Will Mexico to Pay a War Indemnity 33 PCRCEhT NOT ENODCH Paris, June 9.—Criticism of the management of the Suez canal was uttered for the first time in years at the annual meeting when the usual 33 per cent dividend was declared. Some shareholders demanded to know why the amount was not larg^i Charles Jonnart, former French nlstjfer, now president of the company, said the Suez canal tolls had been reduced by ten cents a ton to meet the ites fixed for Panama. He declared, however, that the Panama canal wouk hflve lit tle effect on the Suez canal. The president added that 'he larger draft vessels at the present day ne cessitated the constant dredsing and deepening of the Suez canal. Some observations were Tiade by dissatisfied shareholders in .egard to the expensive"ess of the management of the canal. It was pointed out that there were thirty-two salaried mem bers on the board of administrators, and it waa said this number might be reduced for the profit of the comr«.ny. All the reports weTe adopted as us ual. STATE PES Bismarck, N. D., June 9.—Guards of the state penitentiary aTe today mak ing a country wide search for John Tivonen, an inmate, who made an es cape during the night over the wall. Another convict, John Yeager, was with Tivonen, they being night engi neer and night fireman and the two overpowered the night watchman. In dropping over the wall Yeager fell and broke his leg. He was beaten into insensibility by Tivonen so he could hot peach. The injured man was discovered by the night watchman who found Yea ger beaten in such a condition that he was hardly recognizable. Yeager was from Barnes county for forgery and had five years to serve, while Tivonen was from Cavalier coun ty for grand larceny and had his term almost served. ONE BANDIT FATALLY SHOT OTHERS FREE Columbus, O., June 9.—That his com panions in the hold-up and robbery of Henry and Frederick SChwilk. wealthy farmers, Saturday, were Earl and Earnest Jonesl, recently released from the Iowa penitentiary, was the confess ion of Arthur C. Strom, who claims Des Moines, la., as his home. Strom is in a local hospital probably fatally wounded by a bullet fired In the battle with a posse of farmers soon after the robbery. The amateur bandits who are still at large were seen yesterday at a farm house in Knox county, where they de manded breakfast, and received it while openly displaying revolvers. The far mer who fed them identified them as the men who are being Bought. The robbery netted only 5150, as the $21,000 in securities is not negotiable. The two young men who are still at large are alleged to have been employ ed at a manufacturing plant near this city and Strom says they told him of the wealthy farmers and interested him in their plan of robbing them. They expected to obtain several thousand dollars in cash. Rig Question tlon had endorsed a suffrage resolu tion at an executive session. The rumor was promptly denied but that did not stop eager discussion by the suffrage leaders who insisted the as semblage of women would be unable to resist the pressure by the large proportion of their number who are ardent advocates of the suffrage cause. More than 4,000 women arrived yes terday and last night, according to federation transportation headquarters and more than 6,000 are expected to day.

REPUBLICAN ESTABLISHED SEPT. 5, 1878. in the HORSES PLOW THROUGH SNOW IN CITY OF PA/RIS Paris, France, June 9.—Two and a half inches of snow and hail fell in one section of Paris last evening, and the amazing spectacle was witnessed of horses struggling through snow on a June day in the Avenue des Champs Elysees. The air had in it a wintry chill, the temperature being 40 degrees Fahrenheit, and here and there quantities of the snow lay throughout tho night where it had drifted. Washington, June 9.—Secretary Bry an's lecture tours cropped up again in the house when Representative Brit fen of Illinois, republican, introduced a bill to make it a penal offense for any cabinet officer or clerk of a govern ment department to lecture for pay other than actual hotel and traveling expenses, and to prohibit senators and representatives from lecturing for pay while congress is in session. Offend ers would be fined $10,000, or impris oned for two years, or suffer both pen alties. Mr. Britten launched a broadside in a statement accompanying his bill, in which he spared no political party, and included Senator La Follette and Representative Murdock. He said: "This bill was prepared last Sep tember, but was not introduced when Secretary Bryan formally declared that he would lecture no more during the period. The recent announcement from Philadelphia that several members of congress and the distinguished sec retary of state had signed contracts for a period of lectures beginning July 1, is responsible for my bill." "I am at a loss to understand how tb« secretary can consistently leave Via office when a state of war practi cally exists between this country and Mexico and the foreign policy of our Kovernment is being iaughed at by pvery civilization on earth. This cer tainly is no time for Mr. Bryan to be hiking around the country doing one night stands with Tyrolean yodlers, contortionists and sleight-of-hand art ists, and I am equally opposed to mem bers of congress doing this sort of thing when congress is in session. "The Philadelphia announcement de clared that Secretary Bryan, Senator La Follette and Congressman Murdock had signed contracts for lectures be ginning uly 1. Speaker Clark last year cancelled contracts at a loss to him of $10,000 on account of his aversion to being away from congress. I propose to ask the house judiciary committee for a hearing with a view to some ac tion along this line." Secretary Bryan announced some time ago that all his lecture engage ments for the coming summer were contingent upon the state of foreign affairs and whether he could be ab sent from congress. 1?SW" ffi- WEDNESDAY.

The Ben Greet players presented the Shakespearean comedy, The Comedy of Errors last night at the Masonic Temple, to which the entire public was invited.

The decision yesterday in the so-called Indian liquor cases, is based on a treaty between the government and the Chippewa Indians in 1855. Two similar treaties, covering the greater portion of southern and western Minnesota, are declared by some to be equally affected by tho decision.

Entries for the entire herd have been received at the office of the fair management. This is one of the best herds of Jer seys in the middle west and the management is much pleased to re ceive this positive assurance that It will be shown. Mr. Slade keeps his herd at his country home, Fenlea farm, White Bear Lake, Minn., where they are be ing fitted for the show ring and it is the supposition that they will be ship ped direct from that point to Fargo it should be a record-breaker.

President Taft agreed to this, and an order was issued modifying the rule made, but less than a month af terward Judge C. A, Willard handed down his decision declaring the treaty of 1855 could no longer be applied to close saloons outside of the reserva tions. This ended the Indian depart ment activity and the saloons reopen ed. Most of the towns took advantage of their saloons, and some have gone "dry" by vote of the people, BO it is claimed that now there are only about 200 saloons in the 16,000 square miles of territory covered by the treaty. Earlir Decisions Sustained. Tho supreme court decision today sustains decisions made prior to that of Judge Willard, one by Judge Pago Morris and one by Judge C. S. Amidon, both of whom held the provisions of the treaty in 1855 still operative. Towns where saloons are likely to be closed as a result of today's decision include Bemidji, Cass Lake, Park Rapids, Bagley. Detroit, Walker and Mahnomen, and it is possiblo that Moorhead will be included. for the big livestock show.
