CHIEF US H^Ill
Special Cable.
Mexico City, June 17.—The state
of Morelos Issued a defiance to Madero
in the shape of an open letter today
stating that it would not acbept Bmll-
iano Zapata, who they say is a former
bandit chief, as the head of the rurales
of the state. They declare that the
entire army of the south will raise
fifteen thousand strong against Mad-
ero’s government, if the appointment
is not changed.
Madero has called a meeting of dele
gates and all the residents of More
los to an effort to pacify the objec
tors.

to the Coronation, and Rear Admir
al Charles E. Vreeland, .the official
r^i*esentative of Uncle Sam’s navy,
.ow, Is General Greeley, the Unit-
States army representative.
’ icause of the fact that the United
States is not a' monarchy, our spec
ial ambassador, Mr. Hammond, will
be among the last of national rep
resentatives In the coronation pa
rade, while the delegates of the
smallest of sovereign countries will
be before him. But Just the same,
^ Uncle Sam’s man will receive great

the titled foreigners, even as did
Colonel Roosevelt when he brought
up the rear in King Edward's fun

upon to give his testimony. I believe
Miss Conrad and Miss Graham will

“Immediately upon the releave of

preferred against Mr. Stokes.”
This prediction of proceedings of
the next few days in the Stokes case
was made to the International News
Service today by a legal authority as
sociated with the defense.
It is confidently predicted that if
Stokes takes the stand Monday after
noon or at the following hearing, he
will be subjected to a severe grilling
such as has not been heard about
the criminal courts building since the
famous Jerome-Thaw tilts.
“We have enough facts to tear
Stokes’ whole story to tatters,” an
nounced Clark L. Jordan today.
“Mr. Stokes’ story about the girls
telephoning to him and luring him to
their flat is untrue. There is no tele
phone in their flat and we can prove
that they did not leave the house that
afternoon.”

--Aunt Delia ts Feeling Fine
Despite Her Years.
Washington, June 17.—Aunt Delia
Torrey, escorted by her great nephew,
Robert Taft, son of the president, ar
rived in Washington this morning to
attend the silver wedding festivities
at the white houe on Monday night
Desptte her 83 years, “Aunt Della”
did not appear tired out by the jour
ney from Milburn, Mass., and seemed
to quite enjoy the novel modern ex
perience of being snap shot as she
stepped from the train.
Some on had sent a wheeled chair
forher, which the dear old lady de
clined with a laugh. She told the re
porters that the president had been
“quite nerv'ous” on his wedding morn,
twenty-five years ago. She solemnly
expressed the belief that her nephew
could be renominated and re-elected.
Miss Torrey wore a black cashmere
gown with a modish hat of black
straw, trimmed with black plumes and
ornaments of jet which gave her
quite a characteristic appearance
Another old lady who happened to be
in the Union station at the time had
been taken for Miss Torrey and the
real Miss Torey laughed heartily when
she learned of the mistake.
On arriving at tae white house
Aunt Delia” w^as greeted affection
ately by the president. Among others
of the Taft families who reached
Washington today were Henry W. and
Horace Taft, the president’s brothers
and Master Charles P. Taft, the young
er son of the president, who celebrat
ed his arrival speedily by a fast and
furious game of ball on the back lawns
of the white house.
If the weather be favorable the re
ceiving stand will be on the white
house lawn under a canopy.
There will be no receiving line. The
5,000 guests will approach the presi
dent and Mrs. Taft and will be pre
sented by Major Archibald Butt, with
out the formality of passmg down
long line of cabinet officers as at
the winter receptions.
A feature of the anniversary is
wedding cake so big that each guest
will be given a soiivenir box to save
for posterity and enough will be left
for the younger folks to dream on. The
cake is a masterpiece, a mass of
white frosting circled around which
are tweney-five crystal hearts inbed
a re*
organization.

Special to The News.
Mooresville, June 17.—A distressing
accident occurred here this afternoon
about 2 o’clock. Mr. Henry Wallace
familiarly known as “Coon” Wallace,
a son of Bob Wallace of Mecklenburg,
fell between two freight cat^ and re
ceived almost fatal injury, his left
arm being crushed to jelly, the en
tire length of the shoulder.
Mr. Wallace was on top of the train,
passing from one car to another. He
stopped on the last car and stooped
to catch the brake, in order to climb
down. As he did so the train made
a lurch forward, throwing him from
the top of the car to the middle ol
the tracks. Before he could get up the
train backed, turning him over a
number of times ai;id mangling his
left arm near the shoulder and injury-
ing his back.
Accompanied by Drs. Gilmore and
Carpented he was taken to Charlotte
on a special train, -
Mr. Wallace was brought to Char
lotte at 4 o’clock by his brother-in-
law, Mr. V. G. Freeze. 'He was taken
to the Presbyterian hospital, and Dr.
Gibbon, the surgeon of the Southam
railroad, summoned. The sufferer was
ii^ a terrible condition. He was only
semi-conscious, having lost so much
blood that* his life was despaired of.
Dr. Gibbon amputated the crushed
arm at the shoulder. At a late hour
last night Mr. Wallace was in a des
perate condition. He was delirioup and
suffering greatly. The young man is
about 22 years of age. His frightful
injury is deplored by all who know
him.

had been indicted on a charge of con
spiracy to dynamite the structural

liam Burns is under a $i0,000 bond
from this court it is permissible to an
nounce tiiat he has been, indicted on a
charge of kidnapping John J. McNam
ara.” ;

\
Wages and Treatment
New York, June 17.—^Unless the
steamship companies running boats on
the Atlantic seaboard comply, within
the next three days, with the demands
of the international seamen’s union ol
America, 20,000 seamen, stewards, fire*
men, coal passers and longshoremen
will strike and the general tie-up of
shipping between Eastport, Me., to
New Orleans, will ensue.
All the companies were notified tUa
week ttat the men wanted better treat-
misnt and better wages and they were
told at that time a strike would re
sult if they did not answer tbe nnton't
secretary by today. Every eompanjV
with the exception of the Sontheni
Pacific asked for an extension of tlniiA
and their boats sailed at the scheduled
hour.
Through the failure of the Southern
Pacific company to notice the d®*
mands five of its boats were held up.
Late this evening they were able w
send two boats to sea.
The boats that sailed were tlie El
Rio and the El Norte; the Momua.
which had a cabin list of 75, the AS"
tilles and the El Cld eould not get
crews. The company hopes to be
able to get enough men to 'miui them
tomorrow.
C. W. Junger, general manager gl
the Morgan line, of the Southern
cific Steamship Company, declared
that the strike troubles were directed
on his boats because the union wanted*
to ‘‘try it on the dog.”

that they want to get out of the srtp
of the boarding house masters. Theyi
allege that if they are not known t"
certain masters or do not live at oe
tain boarding houses tbejr are not abl^
to obtat^ employment.
The firemen want to make an agree*
ment with the company direct. The7
also demand better sleeping quarters
and better food aboard ship. The stew
ards demand an increase In wages
from $20 to $25 and that they be re
lieved from doing the work of steve

“Of the 20,000 men that will be on
strike if these lines do not comply
with the men’s deniands 14,000 will be
men in this port,” said Fourth Vice-
President Griffin of the international
seamen’s union. “I have detailed six
men to do patrol duty to keep the
strikers from congregating on the
streets so that the police will have
no need of doing anything more than
