BOSTON, Sept. 10. State guards
men opened fire with a machine gun
on a mob in South Boston late to
night, killing one and wounding sev
eral others. The rioting was pro
ceeding at last reports.
An unidentified man had been
killed, a woman shot and seventy
wounded, and a police officer beaten
by a mob and taken to a hospital in
a serious condition as a result of ear
lier rioting in the vicinity of Scollay
square.
Boston is under military rule. Aft
er 24 hours of lawlessness, such as
the city has never before experienced,
a sense of increased security was af
forded an outraged public by the ap
pearance in the streets of 5000 sol
diers under orders to restore order
and to protect life and property at
any cost.
Cavalry Draws Sabers.
A troup of state guard cavalry,;
dashing at full speed in company
front with drawn sabers, cleared
Scollay and Adams squares tonight
of thousands who had jammed those
places since early today. Both
squares had been the scenes of inter
mittent rioting, and when the caval
ry approached a small group of loyal
police officers were maintaining a
semblance of order with the greatest
difficulty.
Gangs of gamblers who have in
Tested Avery street were driven out
at the point of the bayonet by a com
pany of state guardsmen tonight.
There were 15 dive games in prog
ress with about 2000 participants and
spectators. At double quick time the
soldiers drove the crowd before them
and then stationed guards, closing the
section.
Sulking Police Suspended.
""Fifty-three members of the metro
politan police force, who have been
on emergency duty during the strike
and who were ordered to patrol Scol
lay square tonight, refused and were
immediately suspended. They
marched in a body to headquarters
of the policemen's union at Fay hall
and took out applications for mem
bership. It was noon today when Mayor
Petera assumed control of what was
left of the police department and
called upon the commander of the
10th regiment of the state guard to
assist him in preserving order. At the
same time he asked Governor Cool
idge for additional troops from out
side the city. The governor imme
diately called out the fourth brigade
and this evening he ordered out the
14th and 20th infantry. Boston also
furnished a motor transport corps, a
troop of cavalry and an ambulance
company.
Force Believed Sufficient.
This force was believed sufficient
to cope with the situation immediate
ly resulting from the strike of police
last night, but the threat that sym
pathetic strikes might be declared by
the city firemen, streetcar men, tele
phone operators and electrical work
ers and other organized bodies affili
ated with the American Federation of
Labor, was not lightly regarded. Ac
cordingly Governor Coolidge sent
word to the mayor tonight that he
stood ready to supplement the state
guard by an appeal to the president
for regulars.
Downtown Boston presented- a sad
picture this morning. Evidences of
last night's lawlessness were plenti
ful. Attacks on women throughout
the night were frequent and atrocious.
In numerous parts of the city there
were villainous assaults. The vicious
element suffered the most, but ac
cording to reports no woman was
safe in the little-frequented districts

NEW YORK, Sept. 10. Over a five-
mile flower-strewn pathway. General
Pershing led his famous First division
down Fifth avenue today to the wild
plaudits of 2,000.000 proud countrymen.
It was the last great review of the
world war for New York, and it was a
fitting climax to a long series of mili
tary spectacles.
The commander of America's armies
shared honors with the battle-scarred
veterans who won undying fame on the
fields of France. For all of them it
was one of life's most memorable days.
As he rode down the avenue the stern
lines of the leader's face relaxed in the
now famous Pershing smile, and when
dismounted in Washington square.
t the end of the march, surrounded by
his staff, he exclaimed:
It was the most enthusiastic patri
otic outburst I ever have seen."
Flower of Troops in Line.
Behind Pershing rode a score of
major-generals and brigadiers and
back of them strode the commander's
guard of honor, the world-famous com
posite regiment of doughboys, the
flower of six divisions. Stalwart young
giants, magnificent Americans, they
scored in ' the nation's metropolis a
triumph far dearer to their hearts than

SALEM, Or., Sept. 10. (Special.).
Thomas Nelson of Astoria, a member of
the state board of pilot commissioners,
must satisfactorily meet charges filed
against him by the members of Clat
sop post, American Legion, or relin
quish his position, according to a let
ter sent to him today by Governor Ol
cott. "My attention has been called to
charges made against you as manager
of the Union Fishermen's Co-operative
Packing company that you have re
fused to discharge an employe of the
company, who, according to the accu
sations made-to me, is admittedly an
openly a disloyal alien," says the gov
ernor's letter. "It is my understand
ing that efforts have been made t
have you lemove this man from your
employment, but that you have flatly
refused to do so.
Loyalty la Demanded.
"Of course. 1 nave no jurisdiction
over the employment of persons by in
dividuals or private corporations, but
it is my official duty and privilege
to determine that state officers, so long
as they are under the jurisdiction of
this office, shall tolerate no disloyalty
in their employes and shall demand
the highest sense of loyalty and pa
triotism from all whom they may em

loyalty in his eniTvye i", a V,M'IJ

as chief executive of the state of Ore
gon, to request you to submit to tl.ls
office at an early date your resigna

of pilot commissioners for Oregon.
Defense Is Invited.
"If you have any statement to make
in the way of refutation of. these -charges
I will be pleased to givs it,'
careful consideration, as I desire to
condemn no man until he has been
given full opportunity to make his po
sition clear when charges of this char

"I feel it the duty of every citizen to
protect this nation as far as he may
from again allowing tQ grow up in
this country the ramifications of dis
loyalty and alien employment which
were discovered during the great con
flict just closed.
"I will go further and declare it my
belief that those aliens who during the
struggle from which this nation has
just emerged demonstrated their dis
loyalty to the country, from which they
have gained their sustenance, should
be deported never again to return. I
have spoken strongly upon this sub
ject because I feel strongly upon it.
