TOWIISEIID CHARGES USE OF MONEY FOR TOLL ML BILL (Michigan Senator Argues Repeal Involves Compromise of American National Sovereignty to Great Britain.

BY LEASED WIRE WASHINGTON. May 4. Asserting that the tolls repeal propaganda is supported by unlimited money which "'has been and is being expended with 1b lavish hand," Senator Townsend of Michigan, in opening the Panama canel tolls battle in the senate today upheld the doctrine that the repeal Vould involve a compromise of American national sovereignty. He declared he could not consent to a surrender of the rightsfof the United States in Panama which would leave this nation "naked and helpless in the struggle of nations." , "The country will not be deceived fby the false issue raised in this controversy," said Senator Townsend. "'He who utters the cry of special benefit to American ship owners, who during all our past have been encouraged to build and operate American ships, and he who asserts that the advocates of our national doctrine are working In the interests of a ship trust, will invite the inevitable criticism upon himself of being interested in a propaganda to destroy competition of railroads and to yield a right of sovereignty which ought not to be surrendered. "The known beneficiaries of the money expended by the advocates of this propaganda have been very active in their efforts to secure action favorable to Great Britain. They have been much in evidence here in the capital. But this case will not be decided by the American people upon any collateral issue. They see the great principle involved. Greater than the question of subsidies, greater than all grow out of the canal; greater than ,of the material benefit which can the good opinion of all the world, because it includes them all, and upon it all depends, is the absolute unlimited right and power of the United States to do what it pleases in its own domestic affairs. I cannot consent to yield that right and power at the command or solicitation of any country or of all the countries of the world." r CITY STATISTICS Deaths and Funerals.

RUSH

TO MEET BY THOMAS P. COATES. VERA CRUZ, May 1 (by International News Service Dispatch Boat Senator Ball to Galveston, May 4. "Train going out" is a soul-stirring cry at Vera Cruz. It is the signal for hurried, but orderly" activity at the terminal, the Union Railway station. Orderlies are dispatched for the officers in charge of the railroad scouting and refugee rescue squads. Guards, generally about thirty men with machine guns, are hurried on board the train, water and food for the refugees are placed on board, a navy doctor with a hospital detachment embarks and a frantic rush is made by war correspondents and photographers for official sanction to accompany the train. On Tuesday, April 28, word came from across the break in the railroad, where the Federals had torn out fiveeights of a mile of track, Ave miles out of this city, that 103 refugees had arrived at the other end of the break and were walking in. The train was made ready and within fifteen minutes was under way with Lieutenant F. J. Fletcher of the Florida, and Ensign Oeorge E. Lowry in charge of a guard of twenty-five sailors, each heavily armed. Meet Refugees. Beyond the outposts from Vera Cruz, the first of the refugees were encountered. They were walking along the sied of the track. Most of them were scantily clad. Some had baggage which they carried themselves, or was packed on the backs of peons. Women with little children holding to either hand, trugged wearily along, barefooted, most of them, their feet bleeding from the sharp stones of the road's ballast. Most of their faces were drawn from hunger. All were hysterical from their experiences of the past week. Women, who had been living lives of ease, had seen their protectors taken from MAY ORDER STRIKE Executive Committee of Miners in Session. BY LEASED WIRE INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., May 4. The executive committee of the United Mine Workers of America met here today to discuss the advisability of calling a nation-wide strike in protest of conditions in the Colorado mining districts. Scores of petitions from District Conventions and cities through out the United States have been received, urging the International organization to call a general strike. Officers of the organization today said the discussion of the Colorado situation would probably occupy the greater part of the meetings which were expected to continue throughout the week. PROPOSE TO GROW FLOWERS IN PARK A group of "shooting star" wild flowers, including roots, were presented to Park Superintendent Ford by F. H. Edmunds today. Mr. Edmunds is an enthusiastic botanist and has long cherished the idea of being able to see at least one specimen of every Wayne county wild flower growing in Glen Miller park. Superintendent Ford takes kindly to the idea and is cooperating by lending his tools and caring for the specimens after planting. Mr. Edmund's plan has been endorsed by the Women's Federation of Clubs, and others interested in wild flowers. The federation has a committee to assist in the undertaking. ON SERIOUS CHARGE. George Gray and Emma Burton, both colored, were today fined $5 and ! costs each on a statutory charge. The j woman paid her fine. They were ar- j rested at Gray's home in the north : end. The woman admitted, her guilt and paid her fine before court convened. The fifty-nine hour working week has gone into effect, at Switzerland. Miss Dora Dow, of Cincinnati, owns twelve drug stores in that city.

TRAINS

U. S. REFUGEES their home by armed Federals and thrown into dingy Mexican prisons; had been forced to stand helpless, while mobs, made with rum, looted their homes, taking all that was valuable, even to their food and water. In Tierra BJ,anca and Cordoba the men were held in prison for five days, and when finally released after pressure had been brought to bear by the English consulate, were herded on flatcars and coal cars and sent toward the coast. As the train passed them slowly, the word was given out to the refugees: "Wait here; we are coming bock." Have Thrilling Escape. Tired and footsore, the weary refu gees dropped to the roadside, many of them in a state of exhaustion, but with the light of hop in their eyes. Hospital attaches dropped off the train and gave first aid to the suffering. ! Sailors with food and water gave nour ishment to the hungry. About halfway out to the break in the railroad tracks the last of the refugees was encountered. H. Riley, a conductor employed by the Mexican railroad, said he had been the last to get away from Cordoba. Lieutenant Fletcher ordered the train to return and began picking up the refugees. Some of them were so weak that they had to be lifted on board. With a sigh of relief they sank into the seats of the train and told of their harrowing experiences. One of the most thrilling stories was related by Mrs. Sidney M. Emery, of Vista Mosa. The house was robbed by a mob, her husband carried away, she thought to be shot. She had remained in the house until nightfall, then mounted the only horse left by the looters. "All they left me to wear was a riding skirt, and there I was with my little three-year-old boy, and nothing to wrap him in but a sheet," said Mrs. Emery. "I had to ride six hours on horseback." GIVE LIQUOR LICEHSE Commissioners Have Figures to Show 30,100. The fourth new liquor license issued in 1914, was granted today by the county commissioners to William P. Idleman, who. will open his saloon at 431 Main street. Richmond now has fifty-seven saloons and the proof given by Idelman today showing that he is entitled to a license, also showed that sixty saloons can operate in the city legally, based on the ratio of 6,000 votes cast within the city limits at the last general election. In order to prove the legality of issuing another license, Idelman brought a sworn statement from the election inspector in Spring Grove, which is part of the Seventeenth Richmond precinct, showing that only eighteen votes were cast outside of the city limits in that precinct. The inspector frotn the Twenty-fifth precinct was also called in and swore as to the number of votes cast outside the corporation line in that precinct. The population of Richmond based on the figures of the commissioners is now 30,100, instead of less than 25,000, acording to the United States census of 1910. J. L. Brown was granted a license on his application for renewal. AUTOMOBILE HITS IRON LIGHT POLE Unknown autoists had a narrow escape from serious injury at Glen Miller park yesterday afternoon when the driver lost control of the car going down the steep east hill. The machine crashed into an electric light pole, breaking it down. The machine however, was not badly damaged and was driven out of the park under it own power. Park Superintendent Ford complained today that he had been having much trouble with bad boys. Their latest stunt has been to mutilate new tincups at one of the springs. Coal has been picked up at Poham Me., which is crusted with barnacles on three sides, while on the fourth side is perfectly clean, showing that the pieces were broken off of some submerged ledge.

REQUIRE STUDENTS TO MEJEACHIHG Rules of North Central Conference Call for Practical Training.

Through a recent ruling of th North Central Conference of Colleges and Universities that all high school teachers starting work on or after January. L 1915, must hare at least 11 hours of educational work, the teaching courses at Earlham will have to be rearranged and It Is possible that additional instructors will be placed on the faculty. This ruling, however, will not affect the 1914 graduates who desire to take up the profession of teaching. Hitherto the graduates have taken a minimum amount of educational work foe the school has not specialized to any great extent in the teaching of that branch. There is a course, however, beaded by Professor William N. Trueblood. , called "Methods in School Instruction," which gives the students an Insight in teaching by assigning them to ' visit classes at the graded and high ' schools of Richmond. This course Is the nearest approach to practical school teaching. Since the rapid strides have been made in the line of education the high school boards and state boards of education of the states In the Middlewest have been requiring the new applicants for teaching positions to do more practical work before entering the profession. This has culminated in the recent ruling. LODGE NOTICE Members of Hermenia lodge. No. 25, will meet at the lodge rooms at 7:30 o'clock Wednesday evening to attend the funeral of Louisa W. Nichter.
