Arnst then stopped rowing and Barry covered the winning at twenty strokes ahead. Most of the experts are of the opinion that Barry's victory was one of style against strength. This was the first time in sixteen- years that the world's sculling championship had been competed for on the Thames. Arnst.

El Paso Overrun. El Paso is "already overrun with refugees, Mexicans and Americans, and it may be impossible to care for all the refugees. Apostle Evans Is arranging to send as many of the Mormons as possible to Arizona points, where the Mormons have communities. If room can not be found for all the refugees here the United States army will be asked to supply tents. The colonists declare they have suffered many abuses this year at the hands of the rebels and their crops have been destroyed In a number of instances, making many of, them almost penniless.

Mormons Not Robbed. Apostle Evans declared "None of our people have been mistreated by the rebels so far, but profiting by the past experiences during the past winter, they dcided to send their families out at once, when they were informed that all guarantees were withdrawn. They merely issued orders that the Mormons should bring all their arms and ammunition and this was done. The rebels were made to search the homes if the orders were not complied with. There was no promiscuous looting."

He stated that It was a direct order from General Orozco." At Janos a battle was fought with the federals and the rebels were defeated.

This was Friday. More than 400 were wounded at this fight. Paul Boa of Casas Grandes, another refugee, declared: "I heard Sunday afternoon that the rebels sent word to all Americans working in the Candalarta mines at Candalarla that if they did not leave by Monday noon they would slaughter and kill Henry Gallbred, a refugee, declared: 'If the United States does not inter w- I cannot realise what the poilci morning to liieet the private yacht on of the United States is to We have which the governor and Mrs- Wilson escaped with our lives.

W. E. Disney, candidate for renomi- natlon as county attorney, went to Braggs Saturday night to make an address to the Disney club which has been organized by men at that place.

316 West Okmulgee. avenue and that all the bargains offered were for men only. The bargains offered were In the shape of nice cold bottles of the simon pure article that has made Milwaukee famous and to say that they were grabbed up In a hurry Is putting it mildly. It is understood that during the past three days more than 15,000 bottles of beer were sold In this one. place and that the receipts for three days exceded $3,000.

As soon as the law violation was brought to the attention of County Attorney Disney his discoveries were rather startling from a law violating Standpoint. The county attorney discovered that the people running the place had violated every law both Btate and federal as far as'the sale of intoxicating liquors is concerned. begin with there Is an Injunction pending against the place and for several weeks the room which was rented by Tom Anderson has been closed.

Monday Assistant County Attorney Malony, a complaint against Geo. White one of the. bartenders charging him with violating an injunction and he will be arrested.

Monday when it was brought to the attention of Sheriff Wisener that ho arrests had been made for violations of the state prohibition law he instructed his deputies to proceed against the men, and to swear out a warrant against those who made the sales. If Assistant County Attorney Malony brings info court as witnesses some of the men who quenched their thirsts at the bargain sale there would be many prominent faces at the court house. More than a car of beer was sold during the three days and as each car contains about 16,000 bottleB It Is plain to be seen that at 25 cents per bottle some business was transacted. The booze men say that they were given to understand that the lid was to be taken off on beer and that they acted accordingly. No.

Photographic experts in attendance at the National Photographers' convention in Philadelphia said yesterday-that the time of the motion picture has arrived. Within two or three years the motion picture album will take the place of the family album of photographs. Instead of pictures there will be rolls of film, each twenty feet or so in length. In the back of the album will be a crank that can be turned to set the ptctures In motion and the rolls of film will show each member of the family in characteristic occupations.

The mother of 1915 will take the baby to the photographers' studio to have a picture of the family darling taken and the youngster will be given her toys and placed on the -floor to crawl and kick and laugh for the benefit of the camera. A few nights later the family and friends will see the first home demonstration of the baby's pictures and the mother will have an accurate and lasting record of the little one's baby days.

Neill, United States labor commissioner, in six years through mediation had settled forty- seven railroad strikes, involving 163,050 men and 505,880 miles of railroad. These belated figures, however, do not reflect all this wizard diplomat has accomplished in the industrial world since he was appointed to his present Job in 1905. His really spectacular work has never been done In the limelight; It usually takes place behind locked doors.

He enters a strike field when both sides are at wlts'end to know what to do. Both employer and employe have made every concession they regard possible. On appeal from either side Neill begins work. Resourceful, tactful and shrewd, he hears both sides, and then like a playground Instructor, suggests compromises.
