ULTIMATUM GIVEN Southern General's Followers An nounce That Unless Plan ol Ajala Is Adopted They Will Continue to Fight. AGUAS CALIENTES, Mexico, Oct 27. (Delayed in transmission.) A coali tion of the delegates representing Gen eral Villa and General Zapata prac tically ruled today's . session of the Mexican national convention after the stormiest and most exciting meeting the assembly had witnessed. For a time it threatened to break into a riot. The convention for several minute3 was in confusion. The delegates reached for their revolvers, but finally yielded to the calming speeches of their colleagues. Zapatista Threaten War. The outburst occurred shortly after the arrival of 26 representatives of General Zapata. It developed that they came not as authorized delegates, but to learn the views of the convention before telegraphing for credentials. They were assigned seats on the plat form amid cheers and their leaders were invited to speak. Paulilo Martinez described the ideals of the plan of Ayala, the platform of the Zapata movement, informing the convention in forcible terms that if it were not accepted by the convention Zapata's army would continue to light. He received an ovation, which was the first indication that the convention believed- in the plan of Ayala, which de clares for an immediate division of the tig landed estates in Mexico. Metaphor Precipitates Riot. Antonio Zoto y Gama, who spoke next for the Zapatistas, precipitated a climax which threatened to disrupt the convention. The first part of his speech, full of flowery phrases, was unanimously applauded, but one of his metaphors miscarried. He had com pared the Mexican flag with a rag and was not permitted to finish his figure of speech. Indignant and angry dele Bates rose to their feet with menac ing gestures. The Mexican flag on the platform was borne away by angry delegates trom the place where the orator stood and the convention was in an uproar at once. Some of the delegates, with hands on their pistols, yelled at each other in a mad fury. Antonio Villa real, the chairman of the convention, pounded in vain for order. Out of the boxes and galleries crowds of spec tators started in a panic for the doors, hoping to escape before the shooting began. Leaders Stand by Flag. General Obregon and General Hay nd other prominent delegates how ever, rushed to the platform, and standing" by the flag, succeeded In ob taining order out of the chaos. During the hostile demonstration, Antonio Zoto y Gama stood on the ros trum, indifferent to the epithets of the delegates on the floor. Finally, when quiet was restored, he resumed his speech, explaining that If he had been Permitted to finish his sentence it would have meant no affront to the Mexican flag. What he intended to say, he declared, was that the flag had become a rag which traitors to real liberty had used as an emblem to ob tain power, and that the flag was com ing to stand for individualism rather than a purely national emblem. Villa Delegate Supports Him. lioque Gonzales Garza, of the Villa faction, then arose, defending Gama and deploring the incident With dra matic fervor he announced that all Mexicans clamored for the plan of Ayala. One of the delegates then asked if the other Generals of the Di vision of the North held the same view Led by General ' Felipe Angeles, the Generals of the North rose to a man and signified their approval, where upon a standing vote recorded the great majority as favoring the plan of the Zapatistas. Another dramatic moment in the ays session came when Colonel Al fredo Serranos. of the Zapatistas com mission, defending Gama's utterances, said the Zapatistas did not carry the Mexican flag when fighting against their brothers, but entered battle with courage in their hearts and rifles in their hands. As he stood there, coat less, wearing- a or own shirt with a black handkerchief around his neck in khaki trousers and leggings, he 're ceived the most enthusiastic ovation which the convention has accorded any previous speaker. Zapatistas Take Formal Part. When the other delegates had spoken telegrams were received from General Zapata authorizing some of his rep resentatives at the convention formally to present their credentials at the con tention as delegates. The report of the commission headed by General Obregon, which went to Mexico City to Interview General Carranzo wiil not be presented until after the con vention passes tomorrow on the cre dentials of the Zapata delegates. .Wien the dav'a session adjourned the Zapata delegates were conversing in a friendly way with the remainder of the delegates.

SHIPS SIXK BY GERMANS, Dummy Fund Changes Appearance ot Kaiser's Cruiser and British Harbor Is Easily Entered. TOKIO. Oct 29. The Russian cruiser Jemtchug and a French destroyer have been sunk in the harbor of Penang by the German cruiser Emden, which en tered the harbor flying the Japanese Hag and carrying a dummy funnel as a disguise, according to Information re ceived by the British embassy here. Penang Is a British possession in the Straits Settlements. The fate of the Russian crew is unknown. The Emden escaped through the Strait of Malacca, after entering the harbor close under the guns of the forts. After the battle in the Sea of Japan, in which the Russian fleet was defeated by the Japanese in 1905. the Jemtchug was interned in Manila Bay. She was laid down in 1902 and was of about 3100 tons. She carried a crew of 334 men and her speed was 24 knots, while her main battery consisted of six 4.7 inch guns. The German cruiser Emden has sunk more than a score of British steamers in the India Oceon since the outbreak of the present war, and was reported to have sunk a Japanese steamshiD Tuesday. The Straits Settlements group. is tar removed to the eastward from the field in which the Emden had oper ated until a few days ago. CARDIFF, Wales, via London Oct. 29. One explanation of how the German cruiser Emden is able to keen at sea without putting in to ports for coal is contained in a cablegram received from Colombo, Ceylon, today by the owners or. tne steamer Exford. one of the vessels, captured by the Emden. The cablegram reported the safe arrival at Colombo of the captain and crew of the Exford and added that the commander of the Emden announced before he sank the Extord that he intended to take on board the cruiser the 70 30 tons of steam coal with which the Exford was laden.

County Judge Anderson said today when informed of the decision: "I was confident that Attorney-General Craw ford would decide the matter in the way he did, as the case is clearly under the Supreme Court decision. The out come of the election would have no bearing on the case whether I should receive the greater number of votes or not. To save Clerk Mulvey any extra work or complications which might arise, I would be perfectly willing pub licly to withdrawn from the race, should my opponent, Mr. Cook, care to do so." Judge Anderson was chosen at the recall election a year ago, when Judge Beatie was recalled by a 500 majority. "COPS" HOSTS TONIGHT POLICE BAND MILITARY BALL TO BE AT COTILLION HALL.

Mr. Crawford Says Official Is In Same Class With Judge Cleton In Case Recently Decided. OREGOX CITY. Or.. Oct. 29. (Spe cial.) There will be no County Judge elected in Clackamas County at -the November election. An opinion was re ceived by County Clerk Mulvey Thurs day morning from Attorney-General Crawford to the effect that the recent Supreme Court decision in the Cleeton case clearly was applicable to the local situation, and that Judge Anderson, the incumbent, is a hold-over otlicial. Attorney-General Crawford says: "I am informed that the present County Judge was elected at a recall election held during the past year, and if such is the case he would hold for the unex pired term of the official whom he de feated at such recall election. "Therefore the candidate who was elected att he recall election in your county would be elected for the remain der of the term of the original incum bent, which, in the light 'of the recent from Fantages Theater; the Hippo drome Four in "Dinkelspiel's Night School." from the impress, and Miss Madeline Jtowe, of the Lyric, in vocal selections, are among the performers who have volunteered their services for the ball tonight.

The ballroom will be opened at 8 o'clock with a prom enade concert by the band. , The" Kastern trip has been under con sideration by commercial organizations of the city and state for- some time.
