EL PASO, May 27.—General Gabriel Gavlra, Carranza commander ilk Juarez, was notified today thai the American government had consented to his suggestion that he confer with General Pershing, and he immediately began preparations for departure. It is expected that the Mexican and American leaders will confer at N'amiqilippa, where the commander of tha American punitive expedition has his headquarters. Krench troops penetrated the German positions in Cumieres on the left bank of the Meuse. The French War Office, in its official statement today, said that the French had not only secured a firm foothold In Cumieres, but had also occupied trenches northwest of the'village and advanced at Hill No. :!04. j The strike of the boys at the bottle plant at this time is Ill-advised. No doubt the boys feel that they are earning more than they get. Everybody feels that way., But the boys owe a duty to the community, and they ought to feel fhat the.v owe something to their employers. The present stockholders took hold of this plant in a public-spirited way, for the benefit of the town, in order to save an industry that was toppling, and to provide employment for our people, especially our idle boys. They are struggling to make good. Contracts were taken on the present basis of wages, and only a little over two months of the present Are remain. The boys ask for an Increase of 25 cents a day each. There are 72 of them. That would amount to $18 a day, and a total of over $1,000 for the remainder of the flre, and might easily be the difference between success and failure. When the boys yvent to work at the wages offered there was an implied contract to accept the wages offered, at least until the #nd of this fire. It is not to the ytie of these boys or their#parents ple the industry wlch so much for the prosperity ojjmils town. The boys oiight out( litle heroes, to the end of this flre, feeling that; they are doing something for the town, and then got together and make satisfactory terms for the next fire. There should be a spirit of fairness in everything. Boys believe in fair iplay. They should also believe in fair work. The management of the plant want to do the right thing by the boys, but. the price of their product is based on present wages, most of the contracts being taken on nn extremely low margin to keep things going, and they feel that it is not safe business to Increase the cost of their product after the contracts have been made. Michael Sharretts Sprankle, a pioneer resident of Indiana county, died at :!:l" this morning at his home [near the Little Mahoning Creek, between Trade City and Oeorgeville. Death came to him on the farm adjoining the old Sprankle homestead where he was born, nearly *7 years ago. rie had lived his entire life within a stone's throw of his birthplace. ■ Tho activities of the class of 1910 a component part of the Punxsu- High School came to a close evening when the members of class, 35 in number, received the diplomas that deslg- their successful completion of four years' work in the high Wben the curtain at the Jefferson rolled up at 8:15 to disclose graduates, seated in a semi-circle a bank of ferns aiur potted the filled its capacity/vlth rclaUves and ad. friencU of theyfoung gradu- The hbxeB wo/ occupied by member/of th(yschool Hoard, the school (faculty and the members .

WASHINGTON, May 27.—When General Pershing goes into conference with General Oavlra he will not discuss in any way proposals for the withdrawal of American troops. Secretary of War Baker today announced that the orders to litis effect bad been ghen General Pershing by General Kunston, in connection with the pending conference. NOMINEES OF DEMOCMCTIC HI WASHINGTON PARTIES General Jos. Gallienl, former French minister of Var and former military governor of Paris, died today at Versailles, following an operation for bladder trouble. He was i>7 years old, and had been in the military service of his country for more than 45 years. NEW YORK, May 27.—-All the evidence in the case of Dr. Arthur Warren Waite, on trial for the murder of his father-lin-law, John E. Peck, is in. Both sides rested their case at 11 o'clock ands the summing up Immediately began. The case Is expected to reach the jury this afternoon, and Dr. Waite may know his fate tonight. The evidence given today consisted of testimony given by alienists for the state, who said they considered Waite sane. Dr. <Smith Ely Jeliffe was the first alienist called by the prosecution. He testified that he had examined Waite on several occasions. "Did you rehch any general opinion as to whether he was «ane or insane?" the prosecutor aslced. "I did." he replied. He testified that Waite was sane at the time he killed Peck. On crossexamination he testified that Waite "is a criminal with a mind that differs from that of the average man." Dr. William B. Mabon, another of the state's alienists, testified that he had found no disturbance in Waite'a nervqus sysjem, and had reached the conclusion that Waite was sane. In the fall of 1911 General Gallieni was made military governor of I'aris when the German drive, under Field Marshal von Kluck, was at the Hood tide of its strength. Much of the credit for the check of the Germans at the Mprne goes to General Gallienl, who cammandered all the taxicabs in Paris and rushed 50,000 French soldiers to the front to stem the German rush. General Kunston sent today to the department a statement from General Pershing, in which It was said that, there were no signs of natives being armed, and at present the Mexican forces were not so distributed as to antagonize the American forces. The American government is now refusing passports to any one to go to Mexico City. Thin was officially made known today at the State Department. Officials say the step was made necessary because of the increasingly disturbed condition at the •Mexican capital. Official Vote Shows Thai Wilson I* Popular With Ihe County Democrats.

Her lip waB cut, a deep gash was torn in her chefek at the side of the nose, and the left eyelid was cut clear across. The gash in the lip required three stitches, the one on the cheek, two. The cut in the eyelid was closed with eight stitches and the cornea of the eye made It necessary to put two stitches there to lessen the disfiguration as much as possible.

Michael Sharretts Sprankle Dies in His 87th Year at Home Near Georgeville. EL PASO, May 27.—General Gabriel Gavlra, Carranza commander ilk Juarez, was notified today thai the American government had consented to his suggestion that he confer with General Pershing, and he immediately began preparations for departure. It is expected that the Mexican and American leaders will confer at N'amiqilippa, where the commander of tha American punitive expedition has his headquarters. Krench troops penetrated the German positions in Cumieres on the left bank of the Meuse. The French War Office, in its official statement today, said that the French had not only secured a firm foothold In Cumieres, but had also occupied trenches northwest of the'village and advanced at Hill No. :!04. j The strike of the boys at the bottle plant at this time is Ill-advised. No doubt the boys feel that they are earning more than they get. Everybody feels that way., But the boys owe a duty to the community, and they ought to feel fhat the.v owe something to their employers. The present stockholders took hold of this plant in a public-spirited way, for the benefit of the town, in order to save an industry that was toppling, and to provide employment for our people, especially our idle boys. They are struggling to make good. Contracts were taken on the present basis of wages, and only a little over two months of the present Are remain. The boys ask for an Increase of 25 cents a day each. There are 72 of them. That would amount to $18 a day, and a total of over $1,000 for the remainder of the flre, and might easily be the difference between success and failure. When the boys yvent to work at the wages offered there was an implied contract to accept the wages offered, at least until the #nd of this fire. It is not to the ytie of these boys or their#parents ple the industry wlch so much for the prosperity ojjmils town. The boys oiight out( litle heroes, to the end of this flre, feeling that; they are doing something for the town, and then got together and make satisfactory terms for the next fire. There should be a spirit of fairness in everything. Boys believe in fair iplay. They should also believe in fair work. The management of the plant want to do the right thing by the boys, but. the price of their product is based on present wages, most of the contracts being taken on nn extremely low margin to keep things going, and they feel that it is not safe business to Increase the cost of their product after the contracts have been made.
