KERENSKY REACHES GALICIA
SEATTLE STRIKE IS UNCHANGED
WITH FULL POWERS
CABINET IN CONTROL
PETROGRAD, July 24.- Quiet
continues to reign in Petrogratl with
the Provisional cabinet given un
limited powers to control the situa
tion and order quite genera!
throughout the capital. The public
is back of the government just now
mainly because o? the fact that the
court party and the reactionists hav
been trying to disturb the rule of
the popular party.
Minister Kerensky, with practi
cally unlimited powers is now at the
front. He reached Galicia late this
evening according to reports, having
been hurried there on a special fast
train which left the capital ’ate Sun
day evening.
Kerensky has given orders that all
German spies and traitors be shot
forthwith and has addressed the sol
diers against their lining up with
the autocratic powers of Germany
which seeks to decoy them to their
undoing. —" -—
Kerensky will have considerable
work on hand owing to the general
feeling among the soldiers. The er
r.orts which (he German airmen
spread that they woie being tie-1
ceived and that while they were
fighting the battles in Galicia, the
provisional government was be
traying them at home, have had a
very clear effect and many are said
to be in open revolt.
Kerensky who appears to be able
to do without sleep lias issued an
order to the troops declaring that
all who fail to obey orders are
merely traitors to the nation and
are not any longer Russian free
men, but German slaves and must
cross the lines to Germany.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 24.—The (
jury in the Rena Mooney case was
still out at eight o‘clock this even- ;
ing. The belief is however growing |
that the jury will yet agree and it
is held that a virdict of guilty will
be brought against the defendant on
account of the injection of the is
sues cf the anarchy and Blast which
the court allowed to be introduced
in the trials.
Late this afternoon the Mooney
trial asked for instructions on
several phases of the law as in
volved in the ease and also asked
tor a copy of the letter written by
E. B. Morton relating to the Blast.
The state is rejoicing at this re
quest and attaches much importance
thereto as in the letter which is re
quested by a juror, there occurs a
remark that Rena and Fritzy are on
the job.
From this it is held that the dis
cussion centers in the interest ot
Mrs. Rena Mooney in the anarchy
and Blast propaganda in the city.
! Apparently little concern is given
the facts of the crime with which
the woman is charged and clearly
the state hopes to convict upon the
reputation which they have been
trying to build round the music
teacher.
Two reports were current this
evening, all unauthorized and very
conflicting. One reported the jury
standing 11 to 1 for acquittal and
the other as 10 to 2 for conviction.
Interest in the case never flags.

WILSON SIGNS THE
AIR CRAFT MEASURE
WASHINGTON, D. C., July 24.—
President Wilson signed the air
craft bill appropriating six millions
lor airship construction. \\ ilson re
marked in signing the bill that he
wished that Congress would use the
same dispatch in the passage of the
other and some of them more es
sential war bills of an emergency
character, doubtless referring to the
food bill.
Today a very important confer

He is invited to exclusive .functions

Horn despises the idle rich and goes

His frenzied finance ruins all that

WASHINGTON, D. C., July 24.—
While the war bills are still hang

RIO DE JANEIRO, July 22.—
To increase its output of cattle and
help feed the Allies the Brazilian
National Society of Agriculture
plans to open a great cattle congress
American packers have taken an
interest in increasing the Brazilian
export in this line and will aid in
staging the exhibition.
ihe laws as passed may differ from
those acts as formulated and upon
which the departments are basing
their preliminary arrangements, the
administration heads feel that there
will be little difficulty in making
such changes as will conform to the
strict letter of the law in every way.
LOCAL ITEMS.
A well known amateur natural
ist reports with interest the fact
he lias located an eagle’s nest with
young ones on Lost Creek. Tin
eagle is the common Alaska bald
headed eagle and is not so rare in
these parts as some people imagine.
Natives look upon the bird with dis
trust because of its great destruc
tion of ptarmigan, but they have
some veneration for it which they
do not explain but which renders
it practically immune from attack
by them. An authority on native
matters says that since their asso
ciation with Americans and their
observing that the eagle was dis
played upon coins and all kinds of
government papers, the superstiti
ous dread of the eagle has become
greatly increased among the abo
TRACTION CO WILL
START LINES TODAY
SEATTLE, July 24.—The traction
company, a strictly extra state cor
poration w;th the majority of the
stock owned in the east, refused
positively to arbitrate. Strike break
ers arrived this morning and the
company announces that it will
probably make an effort to operate
the cars with these employees to
morrow. They made no attempt
today,
Tin strikers will appeal to the
Federal Courts in an effort to com
pel rbitration. The traction com
pan\ feels that it they can stall oft
the strike, the first and more en- |
thusiastic unity among the organiaz j
ations will disappear and the men
will be left as in New York to shift
for themselves.
It is believed by some business
men that the strike can be settled j
permanently and satisfactorily by
giving the traction company more
adequate protection against the jit
neys and that they are really what,
the company wants to cover in its
stand against the carmen.
As it is the traction interests:
through the legislature lias bear
able lo make operating jitneys well
nigh improssible on account of re
strictive laws. There is now a
movement on to place properties
hold by many as security to the in
demnity company which guarantees
in reply to furnish the state with
the quarter million dolar idemmty
demanded of jitneys before they nro
allowed to operate. With this forth
coming the defeat of the street c..r
company will ho morally certain it
is held.

LONDON, July 2 !.—Neither ou the
east nor on the vest fronts lias any
serious or important engagement
been reported.
The artillery engagement which
Haig reported yesterday it is indi
cated by his report today is con
tinued.
The German attacks on the Road
of the Ladies which gained them a
small portion of the French first
line today collapsed, the French re
occupying the positions they had
vacated but which this morning they
found tenantlesss save for a con
siderable number of German <.".ui.
Petrograd reports show tliat the
situation in Galicia is practically
unchanged with a lull following the
forward movement of the Germans
and Austrians along the upper
reaches of the Zlota Lipa and where
the slaughter of the Slavs was ac
companied by such consternation.
AMSTERDAM. July 24.—Because
Holland was obliged to prevent the
exportation of all food stuffs to Ger
many on account of the hunger and
privation that existed in the Nether
lands itself. Germany today replied
by summarily plating an embargo
upon all coal into Holland. The ces
sation of the importation of coal
into the Netherlands will work a
very great hardship as there is no
way whereby a substitute can be se
cured. It is expected an effort may
be made to utilize Dutch warships
in the importation of coal from Eng
land.
MIAMI MINERS WANT
FEDERAL FORCE OWNERS
MIAMI, Ariz., July 24.—While the
ooi per companies have been plain
tively seeking sympathy against the
operations of the I. W. W. as an ex
cuse to prevent higher wages being j
paid, it is noticeable that they are
inclined to pay no more attention
to unions affiliated under the A. F.

The miners who are organized
here under the American Federation
of Labor have been on strike and
have unable to obtain even a hear

strike committee invoked the aid
of the Federal Department of Labor
to force the mine owners to mediate
with the s*rikers.
The failure of the mine owners
to give any attention to the de
rigines and they regard it in the
nature of a semi-divinity.
