GIRL IS VICTIM IN MEXICAN RAID {Los Angeles School Teacher Severely Injured | Washington, Aug. 25 (—Mexlecan bandits “serfously wounded” Miss Florence Anderson, an American in |an attack Wednesday on a train 15 kilometers south of Acaponeta, Mex- ico, the state department was ad- vised today by J. Winsor Ives, vice- consul at Mazatian, | Miss Anderson was the only Am- !erican injured out of a party of 11 | although Ives placed the number of dead and wounded as high as 16. | Several hundred men participated in the holdup, which took place at 4 p. m. and more than 40 shots were fired, Ives reported. After the at- tack the train proceeded to Maza- tian and Miss Anderson was taken to a hospital. | Wounded in Side A wound was found upon her left {side, and an operation was deemed necessary. No advances have been | received as to its outcome. Ives said Miss Anderson was re- turning to Los Angeles, from Mexico City where she had attended sum- mer lectures at the Mexican Nation- al university. | He advised the state department that he had made vigorous repre- sentations to the governor and mili- |tary authorities of the state of | Nayarit, in which the attack occur- red. The department is understood to be awaiting more detailed informa- tion as to the attack itself and the steps Mexican authorities have tak- en to apprehend and punish the | bandits before deciding upon a |course of action. If negligence in the pursuit and prosecution of the | bandits become apparent, it is ex- pected that representations to the Mexico City government through | diplomatic channels, will be added [to those already made by Vice-Con- | sul Ives. | |Harvard Sacco Ally Released From Jail Boston, Aug. 25 (P—Powers Hap- good, Harvard graduate who was five {times arrested for Sacco demonstra- tions, was released Tuesday from jthe psychopathic hospital where he {had been under observation at about {the same time that attorneys were considering bringing habeas corpus |proceedings to obtain his liberty.
