C., July 16.—Formal protest was filed today by The Seattle Star and the Newspaper Enterprise association against the censorship which has been clapped down by the military authori- ties at Vera Cruz on the Boalt inquiry testimony. The protest was lodged with President Wilson directly. He was asked to overrule the war department, which forbade the news of this week’s testimony in the trial of the charges made by Correspondent Fred L. Boalt of The Seattle Star from being cabled out.

Boalt. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 16.—A searching congres- sional investigation is now seriously threatened as a result of the story told Correspondent Fred L. Boalt that marines shot down unarmed prisoners during the taking of Vera Cruz. What congressmen want to know whether even a little threat of war like the Vera Cruz incident turns our soldiers into barbarians and repeals the ordinary laws of civilized warfare. is, The real charge is one which reflects on the military services as a whole and it can hardly be fairly tried by these "|branches themselves, particularly when these branches furnish judge, jury, witnesses and prosecuting officers. The spirit of the service is indicated in the original order for Boalt’s deportation without a hearing There would not have been even a court of inquiry had not Secretary of the Navy Daniels interposed his cable orders. Daniels is a newspaper man, has been one all his life and he knows what it means to publish unpleasant truths jabout the powers that be and sometimes suffering unpleasant consequences, Since the publication of Boalt’s charges other stories have more For instance, there is a story in Washington attributed to |Staff Photographer Weigle of the Chicago Tribune to the jeffect that a Mexican was summarily executed by the Ameri- can forces following the taking of Vera Cruz on a charge that he had made an attack on an American woman. THE NEWSPAPER CORRESPONDENTS AT VERA CRUZ, ACCORDING TO THIS STORY, WERE PER- MITTED TO WITNESS THE EXECUTION ON CONDI- TION THAT THEY SHOULD SAY NOTHING ABOUT THE AFFAIR IN THEIR DISPATCHES. Senators and congressmen who want an_ investigation do not particularly care for the arbitrary orders of Secretary Garrison in the matter of press censorship over news per- taining to the American occupation of Vera Cruz Officials here do not understand why there should be any Censorship is a war measure. War never has been declared with Mexico and President Wil- son has repeatedly asserted that the present status is not one of war. r Nevertheless, the cable office at Vera Cruz is understood to be under martial law, and every word of copy is subjected to the strictest censorship. It is the belief of members of congress that the boys in the navy and army are as good as boys elsewhere. It is not assumed that our soldiers in either branch are any more brutal than civilians or than other soldiers These acts, if they have taken place, illustrate how young men otherwise decent and humane, when excited by the blood lust of a first experience in killing their fellowmen in time of war, as they thought it was, be- come brutalized and commit acts which are disgraceful to the service, and which the laws of civilized warfare seek to curb and which discipline is supposed to check. The situation here is one which will not tolerate any casual whitewashing operation in Vera Cruz, The investi- gation, which Daniels has ordered, IS NOT CONFINED TO THE COURT OF INQUIRY URSDAY, JULY 16, 1914, 5 UP 10 HUERTA GETS SIX MILLIONS: RESIGNS AND LEAVES TOWN MEXICO CITY, July 16.—Presi dent Carbajal, Gen.
