United States District Attorney Allen and .other federal officials in Seattle are today believed to be in- vestigating a possible con- nection between the cargo jof rifles and ammunition, jseized late Tuesday at Ho- quiam, and plans tor a new |Huerta revolution in Mexico. Allen would not discuss the possi- bility that the 4,000 rifles and belts and 1,000,000 cartridges found on board the schooner Annie Larson might have been consigned to Huer- tistas. Neither would Customs Col lector Harper, whose deputy inspec- tor, R, L. Sebastian, ordered the ves- sel held at Hoquiam. Suspect Standard Plot An interesting avenue of possibill- ties for developments is opened up by the fact that the cargo of muni- tions was to have been transferred, jaccording to the story of the schooner's captain, to a Standard Oil tanker. The place fixed for thi transfer was an uninhabited island off the coast of Mexico. Investigation, according to an opinion some federal officials un- officially ventured today, may show a connection between Huerta’s re jcent activities and the Standard Off company, which has enormous hold ings in revolution-torn Mexico, Breach of Neutrality Deputy Customs Inspector R, L, Sebastian at Hoquiam, | These will be later in the day presented to the collector of customs at Seattle and to United States District Attorney Allen, | “The laws of the United States, said Allen, “allow a wide latitude In the shipment of arms to warring countries, and | am not sure that the Annie Larson has been guilty lof any violation of neutrality laws, “Fitting out a ship or an expedt tion to participate in the war is ex- pressly prohibited, but as to any jother shipment of munitions, there jis no rigid prohibition under our |laws.”
