Police Open Fire at Close Quarters * Crowd Later Invades Build- ing and D-‘est'roys Much Property Before Federal Troops Arrive . Mexico City, Dec. 1.—(By Associat- ed Press)—V¥ederal troops guarded a badly battered municipal building to- day, while the city counted the cas- ualties of a pitched battle between the police and a mob which attempted to storm ‘the building last night. The death list, as a result of the fighting, stood at 17 early today, while 18 per- sons are known to have been serious- ly injured and 33 slightly hurt. It was thought that a closer ' check might reveal further casualties, The city, after a night of wild ex- citement, found its main plaza before the municipal building a shambles of broken glass, timbers and stone—evi- dence of the arger of the mob which forced its way into the building half an hour after the police rifics had tak- en their toll. Six Hour Struggle The trouble, which lasted for more than six hours, started when a crowd marched to the city hall to protest against the aldermen who are held responsible for conditions leading to the water famine. The demonstration was intended by the labor unions that organized it as a peaceful protest, and several hundred persons paraded the downtown streets before proceeding to the hall to voice their adverse senti- ments againgt the city government. These . protestants were reinforeed along the route and when the muni- cipal building was reached the crowd numbered more than 2,000 persons. Fire With Deadly Effect. Yelling inveetives against the alder- men, the ‘mob gave emphasis to its words by hurling stones and other missiles.. When one leader suggested that the hall be entered the demon- #trafors made a concerted rush for- The police guards met their advance by firing their rifles over the heads of the: crowd which however did not check its course. When it became apparent that the mob would enter the building despite the police, ! the latter aimed their rifles point blank and fired with deadly effect. . Staggered by the bullets, the de- monstrators retired, carrying with| them their dead and injured. ! But in half an hour they returned | and several of their humber breaking | windows, entered the hall and FRENCH INVENT GUN HAVING NO RECOIL . New Weapon, Similar to One U, &, Navy Has Developed, Also Elim- inates Flash at the Mnze, Paris, Dec. 1. — (By Associated Press) — The offensive powers of fighting aircraft will be tremendously increased, it is believed by experts, as a result of an invention now under- going fin&l trials in the Irench naval arsenal, The invention was at first reported to be a newly developed recoil absorh- er for big guns but it is authoritative- ly learned that it consists of a com- hined muzzle brake and muffler, sim- ilar in principle to an American in- vention which it is understood is al- ready beng manufactured under the supervision of the United States navy, The device, the details of which are being kept secret, was developed from amuzzle brake invented by M. M.Gal- liot and Bory, I'rench nayal research experts, In it there has been incorporated the muffler feature, so that the result is said to be an almost total absorp- tion of the gun's recoil and elimina- tion of the flash at the muzzle, Another great advantage is seen in the fact ‘that it makes possible a great reduction in the weight of the gun mounting, so that the airplanes of the future may carry much more power- ful guns. YET-FOUND BY POLICE Eludes - Woonsocket Blue- coats—Determined Not to Be Taken Alive Woonsocket, R, I, Dec. 1.——Isidore Guilbault, wounded in one shoulder and carrying two revolvers with the announced purpose not to be taken alive, was sought by the police today as the murderer of Alfred Touchette, a grocer of Blackstone, Mass, who was shot down in his shop Wednesday night, Inquiries made i the wake of Cuil- | bault's flight from a Thanksgiving Day dinner thorugh a window de- veloped positive identification of him as the Blaekstone bandit, authorities said.

Valu- able documents, some of which: dated | back several centuries, wete tossed into the streets and the city records were given to the winds. | Federal Troops Arrive, i By this time the federal troops had | arrived but the intruders were not ejected before the building had been fired in many places and the furni l ture wrecked. A line of hose which the fire department was able to bring! into play despite the water shortage, | was successful in holding back the crowds outside. Several sporadic attempts to con-! tinue the demonstration were made in! the succeeding hours but when the/ demonstrants returned to the attack they found a cordon of keveral hun-‘ dred soldiers about the building and contented thomsawn with jeering and hooting officials®n general, including | some of the members of the federal| government. | Thus baffled in their attempts to re-enter the hall, Several small xmup_s" of citisens marched through the! streets committing minor depreda- | tions.
