AMERICAN ‘SRILORS SHOT IN MEXICO Chief of Police at Ghaymas Kills Two and Wom‘ids “ Three---Will be ' Investigated BITTER ANTI-AMERICAN FEELING ON BORDER Americans at Matazlan Call For United States Cruiser at That Port—Official Mexican Report on Shooting Accuses . Americans of Being Drunk — Mexican Government " Weak Because of United States’ Failure to Recognize It. Washington, April 11.—The atten- tion. of the state department which lately has been given to a- Vexatious problem arising from ° the : repeated wounding of ‘American soldiers and other American _citizens along the Mexican border, today was directed to the seérious situation resulting from the slaying of a petty officer and a sailor from the United States battle- ship California at Guaymas. Chief of Police Did Shooting. Charles D. Taylor, consular agent at Guaymas, in reporting the deaths to the department, said a strict investiga- tion was being made. The shooting was done by the chief of police of Guaymas, and as American sailors go- ing ashore in a foreign country in- variably go unarmed, officials here will insist that the circumstances of the slaying be probed to the bottom. Must Show Good Cause. If the Mexican authorities are un- able to show that there was provoca- tion for the attack by the armed police serious consequences may ensue. It ‘was pointed out that the double killing might be taken as an indication of the inadequacy of the present government and have an influence when the United States gives further consideration to the question of the recognition of the Huerta government. MEXICAN. FUNDS LOW. New Government Weak Because of Failure to Recognize It. Mexico City, April 11—That the withholding of official recognition by the United States has materially weakened the Huerta government is the opinion generally expressed by the public and privately admitted in cer- tain Mexican official circles. The new rebel movement has made greater progress than has the pro- Visional government in -opposing the fnsurgency and it is no longer a secret that the condition of the treasury is guch as will not permit much longer a continuation of military operations. fThis_has been publicly admitted by the Mexican minister of the intetior, Garcia Granados. The chamber of deputies has mot approved the proposed foreign loan, but its failure to take up this matier is sald to be due to a desire to avoid further embarrassing the finance de- partment, which so far has been un- &ble to arrange for the flotation of the joan, notwithstandihg recent _assur- mnces to that effect from London. It s assumed by the government that its inability to issue the loan is due di- rectly to non-recognition by Washing- on. Editorial writers comment upon this phase of the situation and there has been a propaganda in the local press tending to place responsibility for the fate of Mexico on the United States. Further complicating the financial difficulties harrassing the government | is the steady increase in the exchange {rate, which within a week has mount- | ed from practically parity to 220, and | that rate is only available to favored In an effort to' check the up- of the exchange rate, inance is urgingicon- ze a rate of 10 per | cent. in the export tax on gold. This has brought Me: to the realiza- tion that even the national currency is no_longer maintained on a gold basis. Business conditions in Mexico are reflecting seriously the revolutionary disturbances. Smelters at Monterey, Veladena and ' Torreon have been closed for lack of fuel, At San Luis Potosi the emelters afe running on half time, and at Aguas Calcjentes to a third of their capacity. At Chihuahua and Matehuala the mills are running on full time. Transportation facilities remain se- riously crippled since the railroads to the seaboard and Matamoras are the only outlets. Rebels practically control the states of Sonora, Coahuila and Durango in the north, while the pituation in the south, where Emiliano Zapata and his | rebel followers are still in control, has not materially changed. ANTI-AMERICAN FEELING. Americans at Matazlan Ask for a United States Cruiser. the minister of gress to author Guaymas, Sonora, Mexico, April 11— The killing here of Seamen J. C. Klewstow and W. W. Corrie and the wounding of three other sailors from the United States cruiser California are mentloned today in a request from Americans at Matazlan that a crulser be detailed to the Pacific port.

BLAMED FOR "YOUNG WOMEN’S RUIN Employe of One Tells of Tragedies He Has Observed. Chicago, April 11.—Testimony as to the assistance of certain downtown ho- tels in furthering the downfall of young girls was given at today’s ses- sion of the Illinois legislative white slavery commission which is attempt- ing to uncover the reasons why girls drift into immoral lives. After juvenile court officers and so- cial workers had testified concerning immoral dance halls and one girl wit- ness had told the story of her ruin, George Tollen, an employe jof a hotel a few doors from detective headquar- ters, took the stand and told of how girls as young as 15 years of age wero brought to the place. Young women “were often brought there-iniaxicabs between American sailors and police here. An_official consular report from an eyewitness of the fight of Wednesday morning says the Americans were drunk. The men are sald to have been shot by the chief of police. For some time irritation on the part of Mexicans had been evident, admittedly caused by the presence in Mexican waters of American ships of war. All sailors permitted to go on shore leave had been given strict orders to maintain friendly relations. BUFFRAGETTES SET FIRE ON A CRICKET GROUNDS. Photograph of Mrs. Pankhurst Found On the Premises.

Prof. Munsterberg Says She Was Aid- ed by Mother and Sister. Middletown, Conn, April 11—That there was nothing miraculous in the alleged mind reading powers of Beulah Miller, a ten vear old Rhode Island girl he has had experimented with, was made in a_statement today by Professor Hugo Munsterberg of Har- vard, at the close of his address on the subject of mind reading before the tenth annual meeting of experi- mental psychologists at Wesleyan university. He said his experiments with the girl showed that she could not exer- cise her alleged powers of mind read- ing unless her mother or sister was present and he attributed her ability to locate hidden articies to involun- tary muscular movements on the part of the mother or sister which indicated the place where the arti- cle in question was hidden. There was nothing brought out in his experi- ments he sald that would lead scientists to change their mind read- ing which is that there is no such thing. ORDERED TO VACATE PROVIDENCE HOTEL dmann’s Patients Objection- Dr. Fri able to Management. Providence, R. I, April 11—Dr. Friedrich Franz Friedmann, who claims to have a vaccine cure for tuberculo- sis, was notified today by the man- agement of the hotel where he has to this city that he will not be allowed to use his suite for professional pur- poses. - He and his secretary and as- sistant were secking new quarters to- night. All his patients who were in the ho- tel were askeq to leave and private de- tectives were stationed at the doors to prevent others from entering.

Charge That Old Wound Was Re- opened to Establish Damage Claim. New York, April 11.—A medical wit~ ness by the Mason-Seaman Transportation company, testified in the federal court today that the in- juries on account of which Miss Nellie G. Guertin of Boston, Is suing the o y for $76,000 wtero clldused bdy o] of an old wound. Miss Guertin's ician declared that she was hurt the head when she ‘was run down here by one of the de- fendants’ taxicabs two years ago and that the wound was re-opened in a fruitléss effort to eave her reason. Miss Guertin, he sald, is becoming in- sane. The conflicting testimony se im- pressed Judge Mack that he asserted that the case ‘reeked with perjury” and directed the United States district atterney to to take action ll‘ the close of the trial, been receiving patients since he came | in a state of intoxlcationm, Tollen de- clared. Mrs. Gertrude Howe Britton, presi- dent of the Juvenile associatior, charged that damcing the tango by per- sons. of soclal prominence encourages Iascivious forms of dancing among poor girls who were proud to imitate them. “No worse influence cemd be exert- ed,” she said. A pitiful story by Tollen of the sui- clde of a sweefheart under stress of poverty and disgrace led to the issue by the commission of a subpoena for Coroner Hoffman with a view to ascer- taining the number of suicides of girls in_“shady” hotels and resorts. Tollen related that he and his swest- heart each received $5 a week. They subsisted on this until she fell sick, when he gave up his room to buy her medicines, food and a doctor's ang slept in box cars. He finally suc- cumbed to privations and was taken to a hospital, where he remained a month in ignorance of the girl's fate. When he was released he found that the worst had happened. She had walked the streets penniless and hungry, un- til finally exhausted, she had fallen into the clutches of a “white slaver.” “She cried on my shoulder,” sald Tollen, ‘“the story of how she could not stand it longer and had fallen. The next morning she was dead. She had killed herself. THE TROLLEY STRIKE AT BUFFALO SETTLED Men to Resume Cars While Demands Are Being Considered. Buffalo, N.

It was the first real break of the democrats' from the ways and means committee rates, though earlier in the day the caucus had agreed to an amendment offered by Representative Palmer of Pennsyl- vania ,a member of the committee, and in charge of the metal schedule, under which lead, containing a strain of less than three percent of zine, would be admitted free of*duty on the zinc contained in it.

Rome, Apiil 11—Despite the injunc- tions of his physicians and the remon- strances of his attendants, Pope Pius this afternoon received in audience three bishops who had headed a pil- grimage to Rome to visit him and be- stowed upon them the papal blessing. Tonight his holiness, wearied by his efforts, fell into a deep sicep immedi- ately after his- physicians had made their customary call. Visiting Bishops in Tears. The meeting between the pontiff and the three aged bishops was pathetic. As they entered the sick room they | threw themselves at the feet of the pope, wiio was sitting in his arm chair. The smiled and, lifting his hands above their heads, bestowed his bless- ing. This, he said, was intended not alone for the prelates, but for the pil- grims who had jeurneyed to Rome to pay him tribute.

Amendments to Sugar Schedule. The ether development of the day was the agreement of Louisiana mem- bers on am anti-free sugar programme in the caucus, with Representative Broussard on guard te offer a series of amendments to ihe sugar schedule to represent the sentiment of the Louisiana cane sugar interests and the beet sugar sections. Wood Kept Off Free List. Representative Howard of Georgia, Gard of Ohio and others ineffectually sought to have machine tools put on the free list, while Representative Hensley of Missouri led a vain fight against the reduction of the duty on lead. Some of the democrats urged free zinc in place of the ten per cent. duty. The wood schedule was quickly dis- posed of by the caucus. An\amend- merk by Representative Raker of Cali- fornia to transfer paving posts, rail- road ties and telephone, telegraph and other poles to the free list, in place of the proposed ten percent duty, was voted down.

The recevery of the pepe from his relapse from the influenze apparently is progressing rapidly. His sisters, speaking today with the parish priest of Riese, their birthplace, who was with the Venetian pilgrims visiting the vatican, said the condition of the pontiff was now so satisfactery that it was possible within a few days to receive some of the pilgrims from his native region. They declared it was the desire of their brether to do so, but that nevertheless his physictans were gently resisting such a plan, wishing that their patient have im- munity frem excitement in his period of cenvalescenee owing te. the weak- ened state of his constitution. Pilgrims Express Devotion. The pilgrims arrived at the vatican led by the archbishops of their re- spective dioceses. They carried ban- ners and wore the costumes peculiar to thelr localities. In the royal hall they were met by Cardinal M;n'y del Val, who was accompanied by Mgr. Canali, under papal secretary of state; Mgr. Pascini, private secretary to Pope Pius, and Prinze Arzoll and other members of the papal court. The archbishop of Chietl presented the pilgrims. He said they had come to visit the pope on the occasion of the jubilee in commemoration of the relig- lous toleration edict issued by the Emperor Constantine in the fourth cent: and to express their senti- ments of devotion and of filial loyalty {o the pontiff. . Cardinal Responds for Pope. Replying, Cardinal Merry del Val sald Pope Pius understood the sacri- fices the pilgrims had undergone in coming to Rome and he would have been most. happy to see them if it were possible. “At this moment,” the cardinal comtinued, “meore than from the slightest - illness which, thank heaven, 1s about to disappear, he suf- fers from being deprived of the con- solation of meeting you.” PRESIDENT TO ADDRE.B— THE D.
