Documents were found on the pris- oners identifying them as supporters of Zapata and setting forth an outline of the plot. Several prisoners have confessed. In a building souewhat re- -“motely located they had practiced the throwing of bombs. The American ambassador's note of protest to the foreign ‘office against * permitting an anti-American demon- j stration here had certain tndirect re- sults, although the government did not absolutely forbid the holding of what officials style “a popular mani- -festation of patriotism.” A demonstration tcok place in the capital,-but no more than 400 persons participated. There were no speeches and very few cries against Americans The line of march was through the principal streets and the participants halted in front of a big Japanese store crying “Vivas” for Japan.

Cueller, governor of the federal dis- trict; flatly refused permission of .a demonstration on Sunday and ordered the police to disperse it if formed.

The ambassador denied the truth of the allegation, but an Amer A ican warship at Guaymas threw the ; rays of its searchlights on the city \ during the recent fighting, thus en- ‘ abling the rebels to take better aim. > FATAL TROLLEY COLLISION Twelve Persons Killed and Fifty In- Jured Between Los Angeles and Venice, Cal.

Washington, July 15.—Represénta- tives of the 80,000 conductors and trainmen of eastern railways, who have voted to strike for higher wages, and managing officers of the railroads agreed at the White House to submit their differences to arbitration under the provisions of Newland-Clayton act, which President Wilson and congres- sional leaders promised to make law at once, In the meantime no strike will be declared, officials of the employes’ brotherhoods agreeing to an armis- tice. This victory for arbitration was the result of a two-hour conference at the White House between President Wilson and congressional leaders, both Republicans and Democrats, the pres!- dents and managers of the railrogds and representatives of the brother- hoods of trainmen and conductors. The agreement not only averts, tem- Porarily at least, the strike, which threatened to tie up railroad traffic generally in the East, but smooths out differences of opinion that had arisen in both houses as to the com- position of the board of mediation and provides a permanent commission to deal with railroad disputes. Way Clear for Action. The pathway was cleared for prompt action in both houses, Senator Kern telephoning from the White House to have the senate adjourn for one day instead of two as contemplated, and Representative Clayton announcing that he would move to take from the speaker's table his bill to which amendments in conformity with the Newlands bill in the senate would be attached. The president later an- nounced that he would sign a meas- ure such as agreed upon, and described the conference as “simple and satis- factory.” Seth Low, president of the National Civic Federation, who has been in- strumental in bringing the railroad heads and labor leaders together, act- ed as spokesman for both sides, re- lating to the president the details of the ,legislative situation that had arisen in the attempt to provide a substitute for the Erdman act. The bill introduced in the house by Representative Clayton, chairman of the judiciary committee, originally was identical with that introduced in the senate by Senator Newlands, but had been amended at the instance of Secretary Wilson of the department of labor, who wished the arbitration board to consist of nine members who were to be under the jurisdiction of his department, At the conference, however, Secretary Wilson, while still expressing his preference for the amended Clayton bill, announced that he would not insist on it, and an agree- ment was immediately reached to put through te Newlands bill, of which both parities to the controversy had previously expressed their approval, with two minor provisions of the Clay: ton bill incorporated. HERE’S A NEW COMPLICATION Foreign Diplomats in Mexico Urge Recognition of Huerta Govern- ment by United States. City of Mexico, July 15.—An addi- tional complication in the relations between the United States and Mex- ico may result from the attitude as- sumed by the European diplomats sta- tioned here. It became known that all of them, acting in concert, have sent to their respective governments identical notes, in which they declare that the position taken by the United States with reference to Mexico is contributing to revolutionary condi- tions, and ‘suggesting that the repre- sentatives at. Washington of the re- spective European countries be in- structed to request recognition or that the United States assume responsibj- ity for affairs here.
