Kidnaping of BieUtki Simply
an' Isolated Case of
Banditry.
OTHER CAPTURES SAME
Government Agents On Hand
With Supply of Ran
som Money.
(MEXICO CITYi June 28. (By The
, Associated Press.) . Mexican Govern
ment nfliiuli fiAlinva tlint the kidnannini?
of A Bruce Bielaski, in the state ol
Morelos, and the capture of 40 other
Americans near Tampico within a few
Lours of each other, are isolated cases of
banditry which will be adequately at
tended to by federal troops now in pur
suit .
Becrctary of War Bcrrano has not yet
been officially advised of the seizure of
the Cortes Oil Company 's property near
Tajnpico and the detention of the 40 em
ployes, "but nuw&papc'r reports caused him
to direct General Guadalupe tianebcz,
Federal commander in that zone, to start
a campaign against the rebels in the en
tire region.
General Oorozave, commanding the
Tampieo rebels, was reported killed sev
eral weeks ago, tout according to the "War
Office he suddenly appeared in the Huast
cca region last week and his activities
against the oil company's Aguada. cainp
are incident to his program of outlawry.
Corozave, who is a t$x,auiard, is said to
have nearly 300 well armed men under
his command. (No news has reached here
from Tawpico concerning the capture,
and local representatives of the Corte
interests said they had no information
other than that contained in dispatches
from Washington. It is rumored here
of the forty captured less thun a dozen
are Americans, tho remainder being Brit
ish subjects.
According to advices from Guernnvaca,
negotiations are still in progress 'be
tween (Mr. iBiclaki's friends and his
'bandit captors, a 'brief message from
the former stating:
''Arangementa for release almost com
pleted. Bmce safe and well. ' '
,1a aome quarters it is asserted that
thej presence in ICuernavaca of numerous
friends of iMr. Bielaski has mltigntnd
against Ids speedy release, as various at
tempts are being made to pay over the
ransoiri; none of whirti complies with the
programs strictly outlined 'by the bandits.
(Mexican government agents are known
to have been in iCuernavaca since Sun
day night with sufficient funds t,o meet
the ransom demands, but actual contact
witl the bandits has not been accom
plished. The 'War Office announces that
two columns of troops equipped for
niOiintniii. and hill fighting are now
scoaring the terraiuo adjuceut to Cucrua
vaca. ;'
ThtW appears to be ho general feel
ing here ijiat theni is any. connection be
tween the Tainpico5 captures and 'the kid-
napping of Mr. Bielaski, and the most j
popular belief is that the latter is being
held by ordinary 'bandits who were in
need of money and who carefully select
ed their victim from the scores of Ameri
cans and other foreigners who traversed
the road between Cuernavaca and the
famous caves of Cacahuaiuilpa last
Sunday.
The developments of the last few day
have caused little stir in .Mexican official
circles, although in some quarters it is
said that formal ratification of financial
"Secretary do iLa Huerta's agreement with
the New York bankers was delilieratcly
postponed yesterday, so as to allow the
situation to clarify Ibeforc proceeding.

cruises preliminary to entering, her reg
ular route July 4.
A party of abvut fifty persons were

Rail Union Officials Are Still

Vote.
IGNORE JEWELL DEMAND
Officials Say They Will Op.
erate Roads Even If
All Go Out
CHICAGO, June 28. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) The ultimatum sent by
B. M. Jewell, head of Hie railway
employes' department of the American
Federation of Labor, to T. DcWitt
Cuyler, chairman of the Association of
Railway Executives, that the 400,000
shopmen of the nation 's railroads would
go on strike unless the decisions of
the railroad labor board were ignored
and present Vages maintained, today
was met with Bilenco by railway man
agers .
There was littlo indication that tho
railroads would seriously consider Jew
ell's demands to hold back tho $60,
000,000 wage cut and restore abolished
rules governing working conditions in
the shops.
Kail union officials continued their
conferences today on plans for the
threatened walkout next month as they
hastened towards completion of the
canvuss of the strike vote, which is
said to have been overwhelmingly in
favor of a suspension in protest against
the wage cuts and rules laid down
under edicts frmo the labor board.
Maintenance of way employes, clerks,
signal men and other classes whose
wages were slashed in recent orders,
would, in following the shopmen out on
a strike, take more than 1,000,000 em
ployes out of the railroad service. In
spite of this rail officials have asserted
that the roads could continue to operate
to a certain extent with train servico
employes and telegraphers remaining on
tho job. Nono of the "big four''
brotherhoods aro affected by the wage
reductions duo July 1 and there is
believed to be littlo likelihood of the
trainmen joining a walkout.
One road is said to have 100 engines
repaired and tuned in its roundhouses
ready to meet a strike emergency.

METHODISTS WON FROM
PRESBYTERIANS YESTERDAY
Score Was 11 to 1 at Loray
Park Game Coach Pow
ell's Nine Showed
Organization.
Coach Powell's gang from Main
Street Methodist Sunday school jour
neyed up to the Loray ball park Tues
day afternoon and grabbed a one-sided
affair of the national pastime from the
West Avenue Presbyterians by a tally
of 11 to 1. Itain threatened during the
first half of the bout but it was not
necessary to stop play. The victory
seemed to be a pure case of an organ
ized team playing a nine that win
without unison. The victors appeared
to be well organized and each man
knew whtu to do at all times while
the losers were lacking in the above
qualities.
Foy, hurling for the Westerners, did
his best but was not supported enough
to make his offerings affect the oppo
sition as they should have done. An
derson, for the Methodists, did very
well, allowing only three safeties to the
twenty-seven men that faced him dur
ing the afternoon
At times Doth nines showed sparks
of good ball that ; ,s seldom seen in
amateur circles. While at others wv-
ernl bonehead plays were pulled that
cost sonief lung. Mason, for the up
town crowd, poled out two singles and
a double in four trips to the plate.
R. Shannon, for West Avenue, got two
of the three safeties on his side. The
winners' infield played almost airtight
ball, with Mauney'8 peg too mean for
would be base thieves.
The above game was the sjy;ond for
i both teams since their entry into the
I Inter-Church League. The Methodists
j have won both of their exhibitions,
i while the West Avenue Presbyterians
suffered the loss of their set.

LINOOJJNTON, Juno 27. Wliile
there is undoubtedly some feeling here
against Young Komeyu Nelson, of Ver
mont, as a result of the recent difficul
ties of his family with Mrs. Nellie Kudi
sill INolson, his young wife, tho condition
is not believed to Ibe such that he would
'bo in danger of bodily hurm.
Young kelson and his brother whs
were here (Sunday, mere not ordered out
of the city by Chief of Police Z. W.
i'aries, but the chief suggested to them
that, as a matter of precaution, it might
bo toest for them to go. It was an hour
until train time when the chief made the
suggestion that they go by automobile,
tho chief said today.
Mr. iiudisill, father of the young wom
an, declined to make any comment to
day when called by The Observer's cor
respondent, A. L. Quiekcl, attorney for
the young 'woman, was in Kaleigh and no
statement could "be secured from him.
Despite the feeling in some quartern
against the young man, many of the peo
ple of Lincolnton seem inclined tenwaut
to see the young people get together, if
Young 'Nelson is really in earnest about
wanting to effect a reconciliation with
his young wife; at least, that an oppor
tunity Ibe given him to see her and pre
sent his case to her.

short time. This conference, Mr. Huff
man stated, will continu e tomorrow
morning.
While Mr. Huffman declined to give
out any information as to the object of
the visit of tho .Nelsons, it is under
stood that it has a bearing on the future
relations of 'itomeyn (Nelson and wife,
whose domestic relations were Teccntly

late 'Monday night, Young Nelson told ot
his desire to get in touch with his wile,;
that he wanted to place before her his
wish to take her (back to New England
with him, to take an apartment while he
is completing his law course at Harvard,
in the belief that they could bo happy
together.
At times whila he was talking, ho gave
evidence of deep feeling for his young
wife, almost choking with emotion on oc
casions. He said that he wanted to lie
fair iwith her and wanted to take her
back with him, if she would go.
Asked the direct question of whether
or not the $2o,O0u awarded her against
his parents, in which she charged them
with alienating his affections, tried a
