MEXICANS SHOOT
AMERICAN OFFICIAL
United States Immigration In
spector Seriously Injured
by Federal Soldiers.
El r80, Tex. Charles R Pixon, of
San Dloso, t'nlted States immigration
Inspector, was shot In the Wk by
Mexican federal soldiers at Juarvs.
Pixon was in Junrei on offielal busi
ness, investigating a white slave ease,
when he was arrested by a band of
federal soldiers, who started to tnarvh
him away from the city In the direc
tion of the foothills, where many exe
cutions have taken place. Pixon start
ed to run, and after getting a block
away, was fired on.
Pixon made a statement to Ameri
can, officials that he was satisfied the
Mexicans were marching him out to
shoot him when he ran. He said the
Mexican soldiers were drunk.
"I told the soldiers when they ar
rested me that 1 would ao to the com
mandant's office." said Pixon. "But
Instead of taking me there they start
ed to the foothills south of the city.
I was attired in the immigration uni
form of kahki and I thought perhaps
they had taken me for an American
spy and Intended executing me. I
thought the only chance I had was to
run for the bonier, so I broke loose
from the two drunken troopers who
held me."
Washington. Strong representa
tions, the most drastic in phraseology
that have been made since the present
American administration came Into
power, were made to the lluerta gov
ernment in Mexico.
The United States government de
manded not only the prompt arrest,
courtmartial and punishment of the
Mexican federal soldiers who shot
Charles B. Pixon, Jr., an American Im
migration official at Juarez, Mex., but
the immediate release of Charles Bis
eell and Bernard McDonald, mining
managers, imprisoned by federal sol
diers at Chihuahua City and said to
be threatened with execution.
SOCIALISTS DAMAGES $3047
Mayor of Seattle Declares City Re
sponsible for toss in Riots.
Seattle. Mayor Cotterill has sub
mitted to the city council claims for
damages amounting to 13047 because
of losses suffered by socialists and
others during the rioting by United
States soldiers and sailors on the
night of July 18.
The mayor in his communication to
the city council, says that the city of
Seattle is responsible for the destruc
tion of the property for the reason
that it was the duty of the polica de
partment to protect such property
from destruction, no matter who the
destroying aiynts might be.
Nothing Iw his letter refers to loss
sustained by the Industrial Workers.
AMBASSADOR AND
PRESIDENTDISAGREE
Washington. Ambassador Henry
Lane Wilson, summoned from Mexico
City to inform the Washington admin
istration of conditions in the rebellion
torn republic, conferred with Presi
dent Wilson and Secretary Bryan, sub
mitting chiefly a recommendation that
the United States use its influence to
establish the Huerta regime.
It became known that the presi
dent's Ideas and those of Ambassador
Wilson as to the course to be pursued
are so radically different that the ad
ministration officials interpreted the
developments as forecasting the accep
tance ofAmbassador Wilson's resigna
tion. President Wilson and the ambassa
dor looked on the future Mexican sit
uation, it was learned, from opposite
viewpoints. The president Is concern
ed over the morality of any policy
adopted -by the United States and the
effect on other Latin American coun
tries and Is disinclined to strengthen
a government that came Into power
through the questionable events Inc.
dent to Madera's assassination.

MUCH OREGON LAND
TO RE THROWN OPEN
Portland. Thousands of acres of
Oregon agricultural land heretofore In
cluded In the national forest reserves
will be thrown open for settlement be
fore the end of the year.
Most of this land is in the Siuslaw
and in the Paulina national forests,
but acreage in other districts also may
be affected.
Within the last year the federal
Forestry bureau has been developing
a more liberal attitude toward pros
pective settlers. This new attitude is
finding expression in the apparent pol
icy of the forestry officials to return
all agricultural land within the forest
areas to the public domain.
The recent visit to Oregon of Henry
S. Graves, chief forester of the United
States, and the approaching visit of
David Franklin Houston, secretary of
agriculture, are for the purpose of In
terpreting to the people of this state
the meaning of this newly developed
policy.
