Maas—Precautions Taken to Protect Lind Vera Cruz, Mexico, Feb. 12—An at- tempt was made last night to assas- ,sinate Lieutenant Arthur B. Cook, fiag lleutenant to Rear Admiral Mayo, of the United States battleship Con- necticut. Lieutenant Cook though struck by a bullet. was only slightly hurt. His as_ eailant was not seen. The lieutenant, accompanied by his wife and Miss Ethel McKenzie of Philadelphia. had been dining with dmiral Mayo aboard the flagship. turning to the landing place, the party entered a carriage to drive to ihe steamer Morro Castle, on which Mrs. Cook and to sail today. The two women occupled the seats of an open victoria, Lieutenant Cook, conspicuous in full dress white uniform ,with gold epaulets and heavy gold cords, denoting his rank as flag rear lieutenant, sat facing them with his back to the driver. Assailant Not Noticed. Shortly after 10 o'clock the party, proceeding down the Avenida De La Indepencia, was greeted by a group of naval officers and correspondents go- ing towards the main plaza of the city. heir carriage proceeded about a block her. when, in passing a side street, # sharp, but not loud detonation was heard and Lieutenant Cook felt a smart shock on the left hip, which provoked his surprise, but apparently was not associated at the time with what appeared to be a shot. o Whoever fired the shot must have made off immediately and the few lcungers who happened to be iq that neighborhood, noting that the report was not attended by any disturbance or outery, paid no further attention to the matter. Bullet Was Spent. The carriage continued on to the wharf at which lay the Morro Castle and on alighting Lieutenant Cook found a small object on the seat where he had been sitiing which proved to be a steel-jacketed .25 calibre bullet, of the type used in pocket automatic pistols. Further investigation showed that the bullet had inflicted a bruise on_his hip. Beyond doubt the hullet was fired at a very short distance, as evidenced by the sharp report, was spent, probably baving lost its velocity by passing through the woodwork of the carriage. General Maas Held Responsible. Both Mrs. Cook and Miss McKenzie were greatly agitated by the discovery of the bullet. Having seen them to their stateroom, Lieutenant Cook re- turned aboard the fiagship and repor ed the attack to the admiral, who this morning _eommunicated with John Lind, President Wilsow's representa- tive, and the American consul, W, W. . Canada. They notified General Maas, military commandant at Vera Cruz, without however making any formal demand. Later Mr. Lind will oficially inform General Maas that the arrest of per- sons assaulting or attempting to as- manlt American officers or civilians is a matter of small consequence compar- ed with the personal responsibility of 1he general for such outrages. It will be made elear to General Maas that he personally will be held to the strict_ * est_accountability. for failure to pre- went puch attacks. Probably Act of Desperado..~ The avenue, in which the ajtack on lieutenant Cook was committed, is the prineipal thoroughfare of the City. It is & wide and brilliantly illuminate street, lined for the greater part wit wholesale and retail stores and banks, the upper floors of which are used as high class residences. At the hour of the attack the street; was almost de- serted, exeept for the frequenters of some saloons and o gambling house “hich the earriage had just passed. JL is mot believed that the attack was the result of a deliberate plot, but the sudden act of some desperado ,who, seeing Lieutenant Cook in a brilliant uniform, mistook him for an American naval officer of high rank, fired the #hot apparently point blank and fled. Precautions to Guard Lind, Reeently quiet arrangements werc made to secure the personal safety of Mr. Lind. Until a few days ago he was in the habit of taking long walks alone, not only in the city, but in the outlying country. At the consulate no #uard was maintained, but three sig- _nal boys were brought from the fleet to act us messengers and keep up com- munication with the nearest ship by wig wags and night signals. In consequence of information reaci- ing the cofsulate the character of which bas not been divulged the sig- nal boys were replaced by gight stal- wart picked bluejackets, of whom four are constantly on duty in the day and four at night. They Bave orders to scrutinize closely all persons entering the consulate, to permit no one to ap- | proach Mr. Lind's reom uninvited and 1o admit no ome after dark without proper identification.

NEUTRALITY LAWS VIOLATED. Band of Huerta’'s Recruits Across the Rio Grande. Dash El Paso, Texas, Feb, 12—The fed- eral recruits who made a successful dash across the Rio Grande at Ysleta last night apparently were safe from pursuers today, although the rebel commander, General Francisco Villa, at Juarez, sald detachments of his men were hunting for them. | _Bleven prisoners, including Jose Marina Martiner, were brought into the Juarez citadel. Reports that 27 of tho fugitive recruits had been shot were not confirmed. Martines is said to be a relative of the federal general, Pascual Orozco. Four Mexicans captured by Captain Davidson of the Thirteenth cavalry Jast night were ordered kept under close surveillance today. Juan Rod- | rigues, one of the number, said that | before’ the arrival of the American troops some of the Mexicans escaped with 27 horses. This statement cor- roborates that of Corporal Kauffman | of the Fifteenth cavalry, who saw three small detachments of Mexicans, all mounted, dash from a corral to- ward the river. Rodriguez said he was emploved to care for the horses by the Mexican federal consul at El Paso, Alfredo Musquiz, but this allegation was denied by that official. No' owners ~ could be found for the | horses saved by the arrival of the troops last night. General Hugh L. Scott, in command at Fort Bliss, has instructed his officers to have nothing to do with the animals, lest the army Dbe put to the expense of caring for them. There are about 200 of them, or almost enough to’ have mounted the Mexican force, which is said to have numbered 258 ‘men. As the incident constitutes a viola- tion of the neutrality laws of the United States, the investization falls into the bhands of Robert T. Neill, the United States district attorney sta- tioned here. Apparently the Mexican recruits n- tend to join another federal force in the vicinity of Ofagua, a hamlet be- tween hers and Chihuahua Villa’s spies reported that this force planned to wreck the rairoad near Villa Ahu- mada. Attached to one of the saddies saved last night by the Americans was a box of dynamtte fuses, which is re- garded as indicating that the railroad as the objective of the band. ‘The - most important _information available today came from J. Todd McClamy, Villa's cattle agent on the American side. McClamy told report- ers that he succeeded in vetting two sples among the plotters as Ysleta, where they obtained valuable informa tion. McClamy motified Villa, who sent out spies along the river bank. REBELS DYNAMITE TRAIN. Federal Escort of Fifty Wiped Out n Subsequent Battle. Mexico City, Feb. 12—The rebels to- day again cut off the oil supply from Tampico over the railroad into San Luis Potosi, this time emphasizing their work by the total destruction of a passenger train, wiping out the military escort and killing and wound- ing many passengers, As Las Canoas, 25, miles south of Cardenas, dynamits mines were ex- ploded beneath a passenger train from Tampico. A battle between the fed- eral escort of fifty and the rebels en- sued, in which all the federals wers Iilled. Most of the passengers, who were in the rear cars, fled to the brush and some of them succeeded in reach- ing nearby stations. | The train was destroved by fire, af- e which the rebels fore up almost # mile of track. A mflitary train has een dispatched from Cardenas to the scene. Mexican officials have so far made no effort at retaliation against Amer- ican residents hers since the lifting of the embargo on arms from the United States, but it is no secret that the close personal relations formerly existing between Charge O’Shaughnessy and President Huerta gre somewhat strain- ed. They have not seen each other since the day the embargo was lifted, aithough Mr. O'Shaughnessy has sent to the president a mnote protesting agginst ihe enimus displayed in the ! editorials published by the newspaper Imparcial. The president did not an- swer the note but the foreign office tonight sent an order to the Imparcial fo cease its editorial attacis on Pres- ident Wilson, | Tampico's Water Supply Cut Off.

Washington, Feb. 12.—Business was advised to be free with its suggestions to congress during the shaping of the trust legislation programme, in a speech today by Louis D. Brandels of Boston which closed a session siven over by the annual convention of the chamber of commerce of the United States to discussfon of pending bills affecting the business world. Mr. Brandeis told the delegates that the measures now being considered by house and senate committees repre Brandeis administration programme, and that in the work of perfecting them along Tines suggested by President Wilson suggestions from the outside would be welcome. “These bills that have been intro- duced are not administration bills" he said. “They are the bills of those members who introduced them. I find much in them that I would see amend- ed or corrected, and 1 have found the Ereatest desire among their authors to get suggestions from you business men that will aid them in carrying out the president’s prosramme.” Free and unrestricted competition was not the president's object, Mr. Brandeis declared, but rather regulat- ed competition. Absolute divorce of transportation from industry, he con- tinued, was essential to any legislative action’ that would set business free. WON'T DEAL WITH THE MINE WORKERS UNION.

Osgood, chairman of the board of directors of the Victor-American ~Fuel company, Dbefore the congressional committee in vestigating the Colorado coal miners’ strtke. Mr. Osgood was put on the stand as a witness for the mine own- ers, to tell the story of the labor war from the operators’ viewpoint. SEPTEMBER MONTH FOR TRANS-ATLANTIC FLIGHTS Conclusion Reached by Aero Club o America. New York, Feb. 12—After making a north Atlantic ocean, the water flying committee of the Aero club of America decided today to recommend the monti; of September to aviators as the best month in which to attempt a trans- Atlantie flight. “We have found that June is a bad month for the flight at St. Johns, the proposed starting point,” said Henry A. Wise Wood, chairman of the com- mittee, “because about two-thirds of the month is habitually foggy, and the fog extends out from the Grand Banks across the Atlantic. Over the north Atlantio in general about 25 per cent. of the June days are fogsy. “September is the month of all the months to look to, because the winds take on ‘an autumn freshness and the fog at Newfoundland is only present for 30 per cent. of the month. Over the course in general the fogey days { amount to 5 per cent.
