W. ROOMS WERE WRECKED Contents of Buildings Were Removed to Streets and Burned—Police Looked On But Made No Arrests. Seattle, Wash., July 19.—A party of United States marines and sailors from the Pacific reserve fleet, most of the sailors wearing the name bands of the cruisers Colorado and Califor- nia, started to “clean up the town,” as they expressed it, by attacking So- cialist and Industrial Workers of the World headquarters. A second party of men from the Pacific reserve fleet attacked the In- dustrial Workers’ headquarters on svashington street, in the southern part of the city. The contents ofthe building were carried to the street and a bonfire made of them. the fieet was hurried ashore in cut- ers to arrest all the men ashore. Secretary of the Navy Daniels was dining on the ciuiser West Virginia, the guest of Admiral Reynolds, when the rioting began. Mob Re-Forms. The mob re-formed in the north part of the city after it had been dispersed and went back to the Socialist head- quarters on Fifth avenue and Virginia street and sacked the place, destroying the furniture and a large quantity of alist literature. About a dozen lors, all young, were in the first wrecking party to get under way. They were aided by several members of the Washington naval militia and by a hundrd young civilians, who made most of the noise. Waving United States flags, the storming party swooped down on the cart news stand of Milard Price, a Socialist orator, at A provost guard of fifty men from |- That a Mexican Crisis Is Near !s In- dicated by Confidential Reports to Washington. Washington, July 22.—Confidential advices to the Séate Department, it was learned, led to the belief that the Huerta government in Mexico is | tottering to an early fall. Governor Carranza of Coahuila and Governor Pasquira of Sonora are ad- vaucing steadily and many of Huer- ta’s former stanchest supporters are deserting him. The administration has been obtain- ing reports cn the Mexican situation from special agents, because it be- lieves the consul reports, to a certain degree are colored by local conditions. Particularly that has been true in reports of the outcome of battles where .the federals always declared themselves victorious. These confidential reports are giv- ing the State Department a clearer view of the situation in Mexico, and | Cam this view, it is said, indicates Huerta’s downfall is imminent. However, the administration is anx- fous to ascertain more about the revo- lutionists and particularly about the plans of Carranza of the reel party, as to what he has in view in case the present regime is overthrown. CAPTURED AFTER LONG RIDE Chauffeur Who Stole a Kansas City Car Traveled 1,200 Miles Be- fore Being Caught. Kansas City, July 22.—Ralph Rey- nor, driving a 7-passenger, green- bodied Speedwell motor car, with nickel trimmings, belonging to Col. Willis Wood, has flashed over a route from Kansas City to the Atlantic Coast, which sets a pace for the ad- vocates of the coast to coast high- way. The distance is estimated at 1,200 miles and was covered in less than twelve days, A telegram received from F. T. Ty- nan, chief of police of Portsmouth, Va., a city of 26,000 population, situ- ated, across the James river, south of Newport News, told of Reynor’s ar- rest. With him were two women be- lieved by the police here to have ac- companied him on the “joy ride.” the intersection of Fourth avenue and Weslake boulevard,*the busiest night corner of the city. The cart was broken to splinters in a moment and the big stock of Socialist papers and magazines torn, tossed into the street and jumped upon . BALLOON RACE WAS CLOSE Official Figures in the Kansas City Con- test Announced by the Aero Club. The men then rushed to a store room occupied until recently by the Industrial Workers of the World, at Fifth avenue, near Stewart. The wreckers found the place deserted, the tenants having moved. They then proceeded to the Socialist headquar- ters on Fifth avenue, near Stewart, smashed in the plate glass front and nailed American flags on the front of the building. Police Look On. Two policemen smiled complacently upon the wreckers. The sailors tore the signs from the front of the build- ing and broke them to pieces, and started to drag the furniture and books into the street, but policemen stopped them. There were demands that the Industrial Workers be hunt- ed down, and a young civilian in a white suit tried to induce the party to go to the headquarters of the Moder- ate Socialists in an old church on Olive street near Seventh. Another self-appointed leader led the party toward the Old Unitarian church on Seventh avenue, near Union street, which had just been vacated by the Moderates. As the naval men were crossing Pike street, at Sixth, they were over- hauled by an automobile full of po- licemen, headed by a captain, who told the soldiers that ff they did not disperse he would arrest them. The Policemen by maneuvering separated the men in uniform and- scattered them. No handling of them was nec: essary, The men shouted to the po- lice: No Arrests Made. “Your mayor won't do anything to protect the flag so we are saving your city.” A-young civilian who had been en- deavoring to incite the sailors, kept shouting to them to “Go and get Mayor Cotterill.” No arrests were made. A MOTOR CAR UP PIKE’S PEAK The Trip Made on an Abandoned Road by Two Colorado Springs Men. Colorado Springs, Col., July 19.—H. Brown, a professional motor racer, and J. F. Bradley of Colorado Springs drove a 20-horsepower motor car to the-summit of Pike’s Peak the other day. The trip was made over the abandoned Cripple Creek state road from Cascade, west of here, and was especially difficult and hazardous be- cause of the washed conditions of the roads. They left Cascade at 10:30 o’clock ; in the morning and reached the sum- mit at 4:05 o'clock in the afternoon. The last trip to the summit was made in 1900. Swimmer Found $1,500 Pearl.
