J.'ioih Ituiit Serious Confluences
May Arise From tho Incident
(Hy Associated Press to The Observer
WASHINGTON', July 20. The
most seiious of the recently growing
list of atucks on Americans fn Mex
ico cii'ine to light today. A boatload
of American sailors fioin tho U. S
Ship Cheyenne mere ln-Jd up on thn
Temesi River, July lith, within iilu
miles of Tani'pico, and the sailorr
robbed. Tho Amejlcan flag was fly
ins from the boat.
Closely 'resembling tho attack on
American (jailors which led to the
occupation of Vera Cruz in 1914, thn
State Department did not hesitate
to regard it as a grave afrak and dis
patched urgent representation tc
the Carranza government and tho
Tainpico authorities.
Although the sailors were fishing,
they ,w;re on official duty, bringing
food for their ship, and the Ameri
can flag flying from their boat de
noted that it was on official business
A'pTellmlnary report of the attack
reached the navy department July
7th, but was not foi warded to the
state department until today. The
reason for the delay Is not under
stood by officials of the state de
pal tinent.
The incident is regarded as most
serious and as charged with possl
bllities, because the Carranza foices
are, In full contiot In the Tampice
dictriet and because It comes as a cli
max to a long series or attacks on
American citizens, all of which have
increasingly aggravated the feelings
of the United States toward Mexico.
Since President Wilson icturned
from the ipeace conference he has,
turned his attrition a, great deal to
the Mexican situation. anous re
ports have been cii dilated to the
effect that the American government
policy has undergone a change bin
there has been no official announce
mont.
It Is knoiwn thai United Stntcs
truops along the bolder have now set
of oiders which was evident by the
piompt manner in which they cross
ed into Juarez and cleaned up the
fighting there when it menaced El
Paso. The extent to which the. mill
ta'y establishment has been prepared
to meet a militaiy situation i" "-
ico has not been diselos.d but their
are evidences that the government
is taking measures to he prepared
for any e,vcntuallics Into which it
may be foiced.
It was an incident at Tamplco In
l'jl which In ought on the occupa
tion of Vera Cruz when a boat Iron
one of Admiral MayoV ships .was de
tained. A -Postmaster wm arreted
and Jailed and at other '.H'" '
sengers from the -hi.. weie menaced

IMAKES GETAWAY
ISSUES A FALSE CIIIiCK 0 TILE
PALMER LUMtiHt CO.
Toggery Caustics Check and Then
Suspicion Is Aroused
Man Gets Away.
One, Charles Lethe, is sought by
the officers. The reason for this is
that he uttered a bad check last even
ing and got the cold coin of the realm
on it from the Toggery. 1'ifty dollars
in bad money iis in the Andrews
Brothers till and Mri Lethe is happily
on his way. 'Jhe bold fellow made
out a check on the Palmer Lumber
company and endorsed ft in the. proper
manner, asking that it be cashed. Pal
mer checks arc legal tender in La
Grande, and the Toggery had no hesi
tancy in tl'.rowing out real money to
the man. But when he had left the
store, Al. Andrwes, who has handled
checks for so long that he can smell
a bad one, saw the check was a yellow
one and h(? knew the Palmer people
ssued the blue check to employes.
Suspicion was at once aroused and
officers were sent out to find Lethe
but he had left the citj, probably ip
an automobile.

HURT HAMILTON UKLIVERS ONE
OF THE FINEST MACHINES
TO HE HAD.
Evuy Refinement of l'J2U Manu
facture Contained in Beauti
ful Car.
Possessed of every improvement and
icfincment known to the last word
in automobile manufacture, the new
eight cylinder Brougham Sedan Cadil
lac, which was ordiled some time ago
for Mrs. W. G. Hunter of Island City,
was delivered to the owner today by
Bert Hamilton, of the Hamilton gar
ngc.
It is a beautiful mach no with full
glass enclosed top set on the best
chassis made by the Cadillac builders
ar.d fitted with every feature known
to the industry. The interior is done
in velvet molrftir and it is without
doubt one of most satisfactory ma
chines ever purchased in Union
Viunty.
"I am very proud of the cur," said
Mr. Hamilton, ''for it is up to every
xpertation. Not a thing has been
omitted and every feature bespeaks
the most modem production of the
makers."
Mis. W. G. Hunter, the. purchaser,
is one of Grande Uondc valley's oldest
and best known citizens. She is the
w ife of the late W. G. Hunter, whose
r.amc is legend in Union county, for
he was for years one of the leading
men and his good work.1 stand as
monuments to his memory. Mrs,
Hunter is one of the pioneers. No
one knows better than snc every step
of advancement made by the valley
In her carrier years the mode of
transportation was by team and on
horseback. In those days it was ((UiU'l
a tiip to visit Union or Hummcrville
anil she has seen the iiroifresa come
steadily until the automobile caps the
whole line of progressive march by
annihilating distance.
Foreseeing the hard surface pave
ment which was to connect her homi
in Island City with Iji Grande Mrs,
Hunter placed her order for a miii hinc
that will withstand, all the tr-.ubies
and give her an ctu'lysed car which
she can use alt season of the year.
It is doubtful if this ,car could be
appreciated more by anyone than. Mrs.
Hunter.. Wh. ie she is tn her seventies
she is still possessed of strength and
keej.s nhrcust of th" times in every
way. Shs is. the mnther of.Rcpie

WASHINGTON Altho administra
tion lenders both in executive unit
scnato circles discount the possibility
of President Wilson accepting any
reservation in the ratification of tho
peace, treaty and tho League of Na

terpretative reservations are discuss
ing what middle ground may be found
on which tho opposing forces inny
unite. ' ,
If tho administration senators con
tinue to stand firm on their claim,
they will have the votes to pass the
treaty without change and say that

shall in any way impair the Monroe
doctrine or curtail the nation's pre
rogative of administrating it as a
purely national policy and
"That it shall be understood that
in accepting the covenant the United
States docs not subtract from its
sovereign right to 'determine purely
domestic problems such us immigra
tion and the tariffs.''
These and other reservations of
similar character designed to give ad
ditional guarantees of the right of
independent national action without
violating- the' fabric of the Longuo

who are favorable to some sort of
