ST. PETERSBURG. J.*!y 22.—Fierce rioting broke
out here today v-hco one it. Icc.l tr.o isand men attempt
ed to make a demonstration as a protest against the cruel
treatmei i dealt out to strikers at Baku, the great mass
of workers were marching through the principal streets
when th i lirected to make move
ments that were intended to interrupt the proceedings
planned by the people. Some of the marchers resented
the work of the authorities and a fight began which ended
in soldiers being »rder; rhe scene from that
lime became • s irutality and even yet
the streets are in a most disturbed condition and even
• ore serious disturbances are momentarily expected.
'• lu> demons.ration in the first place was due to the
frightful cruelly wstn w li.cn inc strikers al Baku have
been treated erely because they
went out on strike they were -treated worse than crim
inals. Many of them were beaten and whipped like dogs
and not a few tost their fix cs when they were driven by
desperation to oppose iue s t.ur.i's and police, Similar
cruelities are r* gtt uea as o to occur here also before
the present trouble has passed over.

FORMER FRENCH CABINET MIN
ISTER TELLS 1HE INNER
STORY OF THE
TRAGEDY
PARIS, July 21.—Caillaux, the for
mer cabinet minister of the French
republic, took the stand this afternoon
as witness in the trial of his wife for
the murder of Calmett, the editor of
the Paris Figaro. The statesmen told
his storv without hesitation and with
a quiet dignity which impressed the
audience deeply.
Vie testified in the beginning re
garding his wife’s emotional insanity
ind gave several instances which
w »nt to prove that wnile laboring u i«
lei* great excitement she was never
responsible for her acts.
Then lie entered i 1 detail into Hu
story of the tragedy of their lives.
Iis first marriage had been unhappy
nit his second marriage with the wo
nan who is on trial was as happy as
•ould possibly be. Before divorcing
;is first wife he had written love let
ters to the woman who is now hi
• ife and had bared his soul to her. He
told her in these letters that he did
lot intend to become divorced from
his first wife for several reasons, one
>f which was that it would spell the
ruin of his political career. Later
when he was divorced his first wife
stole those love letters and to the
■stealing of those letters Calmett owes
his death. The divorced woman gave
the letters to the editor who was th'»
political foe of Caillaux and who
ranted every weapon he could com
mand to destroy him. All the other
newspapers of Paris refused to buy
the letters and even the editor of the
Figaro at first disdained such a wea
pon but finally he fell for the tempta
tion and published one of the letter.1'.
Caillaux then described the effect

WASHINGTON, July 22—An appeal
was sent out today by President Wil
son and Secretary of State Bryan to
Carranza and Villa to bury their differ
ences and unite for the sake of Mex
ico’s peace.
This appeal was considered to be
necessary as the rumors coming from
Mexico regarding the relations be
tween the two leaders of the constitu
tionalists arc disquieting to say the
least of it. Indeed it is generally con
sidered that peace will come if these
two unite and agree on some fixed pol
icy but on the other hand if they refuse
to come to terms the most serious re
sults may be looked for.
The whole fate of Mexico seems to be
hanging on the next words uttered by
either Carranza or Villa. No informa
tion has reached this city as to whether
they are still negotiating or not but it is
presumed that some efforts are being
| made to bring them together. There is
a feeling that the differences are more
serious than was generally known.
MURDERERS OE MADERO
MUST MEET THEIR DEATH
WASHINGTON, July 22 —Carranza, head of the con
stitutionalists, has answered the demands of Carbajal, the
acting president, by declaring that (he murderers of Ma
dero must die.
Carbajal formally offered the constitutionalists to let
them take over the governnn i t provided an amnesty were
granted to Huerta and his sympathizers but it has now
been made clear by the answer of the constitutionalist
head tb»t no such amnesty can be looked for. He has,
however, declared himself to he willing to suspend hostili
ties until some anangcmcn: can be made and there is a
hope that peace will prevail long enough to let both sides
conic together and try to bring about a friendly under
standing.
The government forces under Carbajal are still pow
erful but it is doubtful if lhoy will attempt to oppose the
rebels if the latter should march on the capital.

John Ronan, the well-known Fair

prospects as well as reported, they
are planning on putting on a drill and
giving it a thorough overhauling.

DOING GOOD WORK
ON COOPER CREEK
Frank E. Youngs arrived in town
last night from Cooper Creek and re
ports that things are booming on the
Upper Kenai in a placer way. There
are a number of small outfits work
ing in his section and all are doing
well. Mr. Young brought in some
lust with him to back up his state
nents and says that there will be
some good cleanups in that vicinity
later in the summer. The Pulver par
ty are still at Cooper Creek and will
be there the rest of the season. Mr.
Youngs has a crew of seventeen men
working on Cooper Creek and is fast
getting things in shape to begin pip
ing into the boxes. He plans on be
gining sluicing by the tenth of Au
gust. In order to do this it will be
necessary to build two trestles, one
across Cooper Creek canon, 60 feet in
height and 225 feet in length and an
other across a draw, 70 feet high and
a trifle over 100 feet long, to support
the flume that will carry water for
piping. As soon as this trestle work
has been completed all will be in read
iness to begin mining as the ditch
used by the Kenai Mining and Mill
ing company will be used and there h
a complete hydraulic plant on the
grounds. The ground that will be
mined this summer has been thor
oughly prospected and carries values
tha* insures good cleanups. Mr.
Youngs will leave in the morning
with additional supplies, intending to
stay on the job until the water is run
ning through the boxes.
