According to tcl-ephono advices received by Governor Amnions at nine a. the men have been fighting in a blinding snow storm which began at six o'clock. So far the Goveror has not been advised whether there have been any fatalities, though hundreds of shots were exchanged. Martial law was declared early today in the southern Colorado coal ileitis, where 8,000 miners are on strike, au a result of a day's rioting -culminating, it is reported, in the killing of two Greek strikers and the wounding of live ilRimly marshals at Ilorwind late yesterday Govrrnor Amnions at 1.30 a. m.

Adjourned Red Bank Council Meeting.

An adjourned meeting of the Mayor and Council, of the borough of Red Bank, was held last night in the rooms on the lower floor ef the borough hall, the regular council chamber being used for a Socialistic meeting. The Council meeting was for the purpose of looking over specifications for two automobile lire engines, which are to be purchased. The commissioners also considered the Relief Fire question, but nothing definite was done. The questions will very likely be brought up at the next meeting. Pocahontas Delegtaes ta Lakewood The sixteenth annual cession of the Great Council, Degree of Pocahontas, opened at Lakewood today.

BRYAN ORDERS HIM NOT SURRENDERED Clash Between Mexico and This Country May Come Over Expected De mand For Return of General.

NO MOVE FOR PRESENT Washington, D. Oct. 28. Gen eral Felix Diaz, a refugee on an American war ship in Vera Cruz harbor, will not be surrendered to the Mexi-ican authorities. This was made certain this afternoon when Secretary of State Bryan, through the Navy Department, requested Admiral Fletcher to find out from Diaz where he to go.

He will be taken to some neutral point on the American warship, so that he can seek permanent asylum without molestation by his former close friend, Provisional President Huerta. Fears that armed Intervention in Mexico is well nigh inevitable permeated official Washington thia afternoon. The developments at Vera Cruz, where Diaz, his two companions and an American newspaper correspondent had to flee the city under cov er of darkness, with reports of an increased anti-American feeling through the Huerta dominated Mexi can states, have admittedly complicated an already serious situation. Huerta is expected to demand that at least the Mexicans be turned over to him. This will not be ddne.

A long cipher message was received by Secretary Bryan from Special En voy John Llnd, at Vera Cruz. Its con- tonta nmra nni mni)n r.i.hlln Tf la known, however, that it recited in detail all the developments of last night and today. It is said that Diaz in seeking refuge in the American Consulate admitted that his life was in danger. And it was because it was felt that even the American Consulate would not prove a safe asylum, that he was spirited to the harbor and taken on board the Wheeling. The contents of the Lind report'' and another one which has been asked for from Charge D'Affairs O'Shaughnes-sey in Mexico City will be submitted to President Wilson when he returns here late tonight.

Meanwhile no further action wil be taken by either the Secretary of State or the Navy Department. Diaz applied for protection to Consul Canada during the night, following his arrest by the Mexican police of L. Blum, an American who accompanied Diaz rom Havana, and who has been with hU since he arrived in Vera Cruz. Cecelia Ocon and Jose Sandoval, friends, of Diaz, and Alexander Williams, a newspaper man, also asked for protection and were put upon the Wheeling. LIVELY An enthusiastic meeting of the Long Branch Democratic Club was held last night in the old Broadway Theatre building.

The club's headquarters were inadequate to accommodate the crowd, and long before the hour of opening the meeting the committee in charge had to make additional arrangements. There were over twice as many present as anticipated. In addition to hearing favorable reports from the respective wards through members of the city executive committee, speeches were made by a number of the club members. The meeting was announced as an old-fashioned smoker, and, after officers had been chosen, cigars, pipes and tobacco were freely distributed. Everyone spent an enjoyable evening.

Lawyer Benjamin P. Morris acted as chairman. Senator John W. Slocum and Mr. Morris made the principal talks of the evening.

Before the meeting adjourned the name of Fielder was cheered to the echo. The city executive committee will meet tomorrow night.

Parents of the children attending the Middletown high BChol at Leonardo are up in arms at the crowded condition of the cars which carry the chil dren to schol in the morning and back home again in the afternoon. When it was voted at a special school election to build the new high school at Leonardo, the parents were promised two definite things. Thev were: (1) That cars would run through from all parts of the line direct to the school, and (2) same would be done for a single fare.

These things were never done. The truth is that through cars were never run, it being necessary for all pupils to change cars at Campbell's junction; as to fares, two tickets have always been collect ed, one to the Junction and another from the Junction to the school. The taxpayers are therefore compelled to pay just double the amount to the trolley company which they agreed to do when they voted to locate the school at Leonardo. -r Nor is this all. Pupils as well as passengers are required to crowd into one car.

This car, which leaves the Junction at 8:. 30 a. m. for the high school, is generally old No. 22, with a seating capacity of just 40 passen gers.

Frequently over one hundred fares are rung up on this car last Thursday the number was 107, thereby requiring 67 to stand and these were mostly small children. It was neces sary for several men who were on the car to hold some of these children on the steps by gathering them- in their arms at the risk of falling off them selves. It is reported that the Board of Eduction has entered several complaints with the Traction Company concern ing these disgraceful conditions, but all hive been ignored, although once or twice a promise to Improve conditions was made but the promised relief never came. The cold facts are that promises -will not render travel safe for small children, and unless something is done at once, there may be a serious accident which will cost the trolley company more than a dozen ex tra cars would. Parents are getting afraid to send their children to school this way.

FIX ELECTION PAY Municipal, borough and township clerks throughout the county today received printed notices from the Board of Chosen Freeholders fixing the amount of their compensation for elec tion expenses. The notices were sent out by clerk Charles E. Close. Heretofore the expenses of clerks varied, and for this reason the board, at a conference, agreed on a fixed amount per polling place so that in the future there would be no trouble. The following is the notice, which explains itself: The Board of Freeholders have es tablished the following sums as compensation for services rendered by the clerks of the various municipalities in connection with the primary and general elections, as well as the compensation for buildings or rooms used as polling places in connection therewith: Municipal clerks, having one polling place, $15; municipal clerks, having two or more polling places, each, $10; in addition to the above each clerk will be allowed for erecting and taking duwn the booths at each polling place J5.

Clerks shall not include In their vouchers presented to the board any item furnished by any other than himself. Persons, corporations or lodges, from whom buildings or rooms are leased for primary and general election pur poses must present their own voucher ior same. The sum of $25 will be allowed as rental for such building or room, for both elections, and with sttch building or room there must be furnished, without additional cost beyound the $25, light, heat, chairs, tables and such fixtures as might be required by the Board of Election in performing their duties. The chairman of the election board, can, if the election board so deside, make out one voucher for all the members, certifying to same as such, and including the names of all the member! of the election board thereon. The county furnishes and pays for all election stationary, ballots, but dees not pay for the local advertising required to be done by the respective municipal clerks of the time and place of holding the primary and general elections.

A voucher- must presented by ach and every person furnishing It or material in connection with the pri- or general elections, excepting as stated in connection with the elec- tion board. Signed, C.

Mi6s Schenck had been in New York all day, and was on her way home from Stryker Strylter's garage, opposite the station, where she kept her machine while away. The trolley car was one of the heavy Brill types and was in charge of Con ductor Ed. Borthwick and Motorman Ed, Drennen. At Maple avenue the brilliant lights of the automobile partially blinded the motorman. As the automobile approached, however, it was seen to skid, and the motorman applied his brakes.

The automobile turned completely around, and was struck in the rear by the trolley car, one of the wheels on the automobile being damaged. Will Winter in New York. Former Park Commissioner G. L. Crum and family and ex-Mayor B.

Aviator Morris intends making an ascension. When Ecen this niorins Mr. Morris said his hard luck was dun to the curiosity of people anxious to see the flying machine in operation. They persisted in blocking his right of way, similar to the uutoinobllc driver responsible for the accident last week. The machine was working nicely, being under perfect control when it collided with the automobile that stopped abruptly in front of It.

Just as soon as the new propeller blade adjusted, I Intend going up in the air or put the machine or myself out of business," waB the conclusion reached this morning by Mr. Morris. There are only two types of machines that have soared the air successfully, he says, and one of them Is the model he has adopted. To take lessons in flying would cost $300, or about $50 a lesson. This is too much money for an amateur to expend, Mr.

Morris thinks. So he will Instruct himself by taking the risk of cn accident. When lie is ready to make an ascension he will notify his friends. Fielder Honors Requisition. Trenton, Oct.

Entry was forced in the same manner as before, by breaking out a pane of glass, entering the large waiting room and the forcing of the window to the ticket office, where the safe was kept.

The same blankets stolen from the same place, the Hulshart Dairy, were used again to muffle the noise when the robbers forced the fafe open with an explosion. Mother of Mrs. Rocs Dies. Word has been received by friends of Mrs. Charles J.
