May 2U (via wireless to Columbus, N. M.). Candelaiia Cervantes and Juan Reaucome were buried Sunday without religious ceremony. There were no llowered carts: no words spoken over the graves of the bandits, who had caused the expeditionary command almost as much trouble as has Villa himself. Even the village padre at Namiquipa, where Cervantes had grown to manhood, declined to officiate at the esrvices. Two dusty two-wheeled carts, drawn by dustrier mules, lore the coflins through the huddled adobe houses to the town to a little cemetery on the outskirts. A few Mexicans, wrapped in dirty blankets, one of them Cervantes father, a toothless old woman and a few doys comprised the funeral party.

Copper mining there began in 1901 nnd the total output to the close of 1913 is 219,913,373 pounds, valued at 34p919,581. Of this amount, according to the United States geological survey, 88.309.312 pounds, valued at $15,lo9,129, was produced in 1913. Sydney (Australia) newspapers are calling attention to the fact that while Australia has produced a record wheat crop following on the pressing request of the British governmet to grow it abundantly, with the object of meeting the Russian and other shortages, British ship owners refuse to transport it except a; the highest rates in the memory of the oldest Inhabitants. As part of the regular school curriculum seniors in the high school at Knoxville, Tenn., are to make a systematic survey of the occupations and industries of that city. The survey will cover condition of workers, maximum and minimum wages, chances for promotion and any other information that will serve to throw light on the character of the specific vocation. A study of the social, civic and economic condition of the city will also be made. An examination of the kinity of Ororino. Idaho, where valuable coal beds were thought to exist, has resulted in a report by the United States geological survey thut there i subbltumlnous coal of medium grade. In view of its character and the thinness of the beds, the survey believes that this locality will not be of Importance as a coal field, except porlMy in a small way, by nupplyhig coal for local use in the distant future.

Hilles of the republican national committee Sunday eNpressed the opinion that the platform which will be adopted by the national convention next month would be unusually brief and deal only with the most vital public questions. From inforamtion obtained in talking with party leaders on the subject he believes the principal planks in the platforn will include the following: A statement on Americanism. A statement on preparedness for adequate military and naval defense. A declaration in favor of a pro-, tective tariff to be prepared by a non-partisan tariff commission created by congress, with special attention to the need3 of the industries of this country, after the close of the European war. A declaration in favor of a merchant marine. A statement dealing with the alleged shortcomings of the democratic national administration. T. R. tlie Dictator. In speaking of the probable action of the progressive national convention called to be held June 7 In Chicago simultaneously with the republican national convention, Chairman Hilles said: "I imagine everybody assumes that the progressives will nominate Roosevelt for president. If the republican convention adopts a rtralghtforward, sincere, ringing declaration of the vital public questions now bein? discussed and nominates a man clearly equal to the important tasks which will confront the next president, Roosevelt might not think there would be any need of his entering the field. Put if the republicans nominate a man who Mr. Roosevelt thinks Is a misfortune and adopts a platform which he regards as 'bunk' he may feel so outraged as to run, and perhaps help re-elect I'res't Wilson." On the quest. on of national woman suffrage Chairman Hilles said there was a difference of opinion among the party leaders and he did not know what action th convention would take on the subject. IuVl)- Rclibvrathc. Chairman Hilles denied a report that the organization had ever thought of attempting to forcf the nomination of a candidate for president the first cay of the convention.
