inflicting the death penalty by electricity.

Consciousness is bloted out Instantly. Advocates One Central Plant He said it should be adopted, and advocated that the executions should be conducted in one central plant not connected with any existing prison and therefore remote from convicts not capital criminals and perhaps susceptible to reform.

JOHN MITCHELL FOR THE MIDDLE COURSE Speaking On "Capital and labor" Miners' Leader Calls for Justice. SILENT ON MINERS' ACT NEW ORK, Feb. 7. Speaking on "Capital and Labor" at a dinner here tonight, John Mitchell, former president of the United Mine Workers of America, said in part: "On the one hand are found forces that would deny to labor the right of organization and combination, although exercising and enjoying the benefit of these rights themselves; on the other hand, are forces at work advocating and demanding the abolition of the whole competitive system. "Between these extremes stands a great army or woricmen ana employ ers earnestly striving to find grounds of mutual agreement upon which the right3 and obligations of each may be defined and brought Into harmony, "With all due respect to the opinions of others, I submit that the path of safety, progress and justice lies in the middle course, in the recognition of the right of organization on the part of both labor and Capital, by which and through which these factors in our industrial progress may work out their inevitable destiny, discussing freely each with the other all questions of mutual concern.

Mr. Mitchell sat complacently while F. Hopkinson Smith, author, artist and builder of light houses, said he wasn't in sympathy with labor unions or the walking delegate. As instancing the incon sistency and illogical reasoning of unions he turned to Mr. Mitchell and referred to the recent demand made upon him to resign either from the United Mine Workers or from the National Civic Federa tion.

Mr. Mitchell said nothing. WAITERS ARE CHARGED WITH RECTOR ROBBERY Employe of Chicago Restaurant Confesses Implication In Hold up Plot. CHICAGO, Feb. 7.

the realm of the millionaire. One was to increase the salaries so as to enable a comparatively poor man to live on a scale with his colleagues and the other was to provide him with a suitable house in which to live. "Failure to do either one of Miese two things," said Mr. Longworth. "has developed in this country an office holding aristocracy which is utterly repugnant to a democratic form of government an aristocracy that deoends not upon birth, but upon the might of money."

Longworth appealed especially to the Democrats to suDoort the bill, claiming that it had been endorsed" by William Jennings Bryan and Samuel Gompers.

WILL' COME IIP AGAIN Harrisburg Bureau, ihe I'ribune Uepublivan. 'HARRISBURG.

Feb. 7 Probaibly the most important action in the house today was its refusal by a vote of 103 to 77 to place on the calendar a resolution requesting the United States senators from Pennsylvania to vote for the amendment providing for a direct vote of the people for United) States senators. The resolution had been negatively reported from committee. A motion was made bv Mr. Kelly, of Allegheny, to place it on tlie calendar.

This was declared out of order. The vote above given was on Mr. Kelly's appeal from the decision of the chair. It is expected that the matter will again come before the house next Monday flight, when resolution are in order. The house adopted a resolution calling upon the attorney general to inform the house what each defendant paid in the settlement of the capitol suits.

The one bill passed finally by the senate abolished the February election day and provides that Columbus day shall be a legal holiday. There was some doubt whether the Columbus day act already upon the statute books permitted banks to close and the bill passed today and sent to the governor removes this doubt. Both houses will meet tomorow. One of the developments of the day was the final decision, not taie recess during the week that includes Washington's Birthday. It is probably that when the legislature adjourns this week it will be to meet next Tuesday Instead of Monday which will be observed as Lincoln'! Birthday.

WOMEN PLAYING IN COMEDY WAR Mexico Stages "Battle of Juarez" With Ladies Inthe Leading Parts of Fray. FIGHT FOR MORAL EFFECT Leader of Insurgents Declares That He Is Glad No Blood Was Shed In Encounter. EL PASO, Texas, Feb.

7. The first battle of Juarez between federal troops and Insurrectionists was exhibited today. "Exhibited" is the proper word, for no one was hurt on either side and the "exhibition" was viewed by a thousand or more El Pascans who lined the bank of the Kio Grande on (he American side aibout three miles west of El Paso. The exchange ofmissiles lasted: about fifteen minutes and about 200 shots were fired. Tonight, the federals are behind the walls of the Cathedral of Guadalope, of the barracks and of the bull ring at Juarez, across the river from here.

Oroczo declared in an interview with the Associated Press correspondent that he firmly intends to attack Juarez, but that, he awaited the arrival of General Blanco with 350 men. He looked for the latter at any moment. The Opposing Forces. Oroczo's present force around JUraez numbers under 600 men, probably 650. Of these 320 were with him in the skirmish this afternoon.

The federal forces by actual count numbered 184, including 100 foot soldiers and eighty four mounted infantry. They took with them no artillery, and Oroczo has none. Oroczo's 320 men were scattreed along the hills for three quarters of a mile. Some of them had the horses on the other side of the range, watering from the river. Some one leaving El Paso in an automobile coincident with the departure of the federals from Juarez under Colonel Rabago, gave them the rebel warning.

Making a trumpet with his hands the El Pasoan shouted: "Get busy, the troops are coming." The scout machine was quickly followed by scores of others, each with a load, many of the passengers being women. Automobile Gives Alarm. At the alarm of the automobiligt, as the federals marched out, the whole mountainside awoke to life. At 200 yards the revolutionists looked like insects making their way on all fours to avoid bullets, through mazeoi cactus, soap weed, sagebrush and boulders. It was about 2 o'clock this afternoon when Colonel Rabago marched out the river, road.

The eastern wing of Oroczo's force opened fire when the foot soldiers appeared on a crest about six hundred yards distant. The federals halted in a compact mass but escaped injury because the "thirty thirties" carried by the revolutionists are not effective at that distance. They returned the fire for fifteen minutes. Then they turned and retreated at a dog trot. The mounted men of the federals did not come within rane.

The skirmish had been over for an hour when" an insurrectionist clutch ing a five peso bill in his hand crossed the American side. He had been sent to buy a dinner for Oroczo who had had a surfeit of goat (meat. A soldier turned him back, fearing that he wish, ed to purchase ammunition. Again on the Mexican side he encountered some newspaper men who guaranteed the innocence of his mission. He bought his supplies under supervision was sent back grinning.

Oroczo was content with repulsing the enemy. After the retreat of the latter he searched the ground thoroughly but discovered no sign of blood letting. Seen following the skirmish Orozco said that while there had been no loss of life he was glad of the moral effect of repulsing the enemy. The Commissary Force. President Dias has no organized com missary.

In its place, there are the women Each soldier gets a few centavos a day to buy food. This they turn over to the women who forage the country, cook tor tillias. if they are able to buy corn, and provide "jerked" beef. Store often than not, the women have children with them. They arc officially recognized by the war department, which furnished them passs age on.

troop trains. Two of them were killed at Bauche. It was a spectacle both ludieroui and pathetic today to see a dozpn of them, mostly barefoot, running after the troops as they advanced toward the rebel camp. Their faces bore evidence of anxiety, as most of them are bound for what serves as matrimony to man in the ranks. There is no danger or privation they will not face.

Residents of Mexico declare also that they are more crwl than their men folk, and that It is they who usually strip the dead, a common practice.
