FALL 5 Another American Murder Held Last Straw U. S. IS PREPARED TO ACT Lansing Gives Pointed Mes sage to Ambassador, Out ' lining Consequences. JENKINS' CASE DISCREDITED Mining Man Is Killed and Nat uralized Citizen Dies From Bandits' Abuse. WASHINGTON, Nov. 28. An other American murdered in Mexico, close on the imprisonment of Con sular Agent Jenkins, coupled with reports of revolution in Mexico City with Carranza in flight to Quaretaro, added complexities today which seemed to force the already tense Mexican situation toward the long expected breaking point. There were no official pronounce ments for the guidance of public opinion as to what action, if any, the American government might be con templating, but some officials, by in dication, were willing to show that the government is taking a firm po sition, considering the eventualities. and is prepared to deal with them, once a course is chosen. Another of "the last straws" as one official put it, was laid on to day's unofficial report of the murder of James Wallace, an American oil man, by a Carranza soldier near Tampico on Wednesday. Victim Believed Identified. The Wallace referred to here is be lieved to be W. M. Wallace, an em ploye of the Gulf Refining company, familiarly known to his associates as "Jim" Wallace, who recently went to Tampico after having been in Columbia for the Gulf company. He is about 40 years old. The Mexican ambassador, Ignacio Bonillas, called on Secretary Lansing today, and they not only went over the Jenkins case, but Mr. Lansing also laid before the Mexican envoy the report on the killing of Wallace. Their conference was confidential, but it is understood the secretary conveyed to President Carranza's representative a message more force ful and direct than any yet transmit ted in any diplomatic note. Mr. Bonillas was informed that the department placed no credence in the charges on which Jenkins is held in jail in Puebla, in which the Mexican government declines to in tervene, and it is understood that Mr. Lansing further outlined to the N ambassador the inevitable conse quence of continued murders and mo lestations of .Americans,, probably more pointedly than was done in the government's official note of last July. Another American Dead. About the same time word came in of the death of another American as the result of brutal treatment of bandits, who held him for ransom. He was Otto Lund, of Swedish birth, a naturalized American, who died of blood poisoning after being held for ransom five months in the state of Mayarit. His captors chopped off one of his fingers and wrapped it within their written demand for ran som money which they sent to his friends in Tepic. Blood poisoning and gangrene killed the man, while his wife, an American woman, and their child are reported in want in Tepic. Liberiy Bonds Reach Xcit Lon Mark or Year; Coal Strike Dead lock Causes Apprehension. NEW YORK, Nov. 2S. The stock j market again was severely unsettled today, many speculative issues falling five to nearly 25 points on a turn over approximating 1,500,000 shares. On the stock exchange and in the financial district generally the break, which lacked the sensational features of the mid-November upheaval, was chiefly ascribed to growing appre hension arising from the deadlock in the coaj strike and latest events south of the Rio Grande. Shares of .the various coal roads were only moderately affected, but issues with Mexican connections were under constant pressure. European news was again dis couraging and contributed to the heaviness of exchange on London, Paris and the former neutral coun tries of northern Europe. Selling was at its height In the final hour, when call money, -which j had ruled at 7 per cent, rose to 10 per cent on the belated demands of borrowers. Today's setback doubtless owed much of Its success to the renewed activity of the bears, or short in terests, but no small part of the selling originated, according to com mission houses, from discouraged traders at interior centers. Another noteworthy feature was the renewed selling in heavy volume of liberty and victory bonds, several of those issues establishing minimum quotations for the year. It now is generally accepted as a fact that liquidation of these bonds is in process mainly to adjust losses in the income tax returns of indi viduals and corporations at the end of the year. General Motors led today's set back, just as it has led all similar movements recently, at a net loss of 22 points. COLUWIBIANIOUTH NEED HELD SMALL Congress to Be Asked to Appropriate $165,000.

What is said to have threatened a serious sit uation in the public school at Palmer. Wash., was averted by action of the teachers this week after agitation by alleged radicals in that community had planned to put the school under their control, according to a report Tfrom Palmer, brought to the local po. lice today. beveral of the pupils are said to have come to school in a group, each wearing a red flag. Not content with displaying their own tendencies, it is reported, they told the other pupils that unless they, too, put on the red flag they would "beat them." The teachers are reported to have prevailed on the red flag delegation to cease their activities and the threatened trouble has been at least temporarily averted, the police here were told. Local Force Denies VI caring Things to Improve Figures. Thatcher Says Garters Tickle. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Washington. Nov. 28. "The improve ents at the mouth of the Columbia river have made it possible ror ine largest vessels operating on the Pa cific coast to enter and leave at nor- al stages of tide in any weather ex cept during the most severe storms. says the chief of army engineers, in his annual report, made public today. Because the last approved project has been completed and no new work is now contemplated, an approprianu" of only $165,000 is to be asked of con gress this winter for the mouth of the Columbia, and of this amount 150,000 will be expended in operation and repair of '.he tredge Chinook, 15 000 heinir for Incidentals.

In addition to the appropriation recommended, it is explained that $103,796, unexpended out of the last appropriation, will be utilized for op erating the Chinook and for making further surveys and for caring for the government plant. .Further discussing this project, the report says, "The existing project was completed in 1918. The south jetty extension was completed in 1913, the north jetty was completed in 1917, and dredging on the bar was com pleted in 191. A total of 8.729,683. tons of stone have been placed in the two jetties. "At the end of the year the con trolling depth at mean lower low water on the main (dredged) en trance was 42 feet. Pilots claim that an allowance of 8 to 12 feet must be made for the pitch of a vessel on this bar so that the maximum draft that could be carried across the bar June 30, 1919, at mean low water with "smooth" bar wae 34 feet.

Police reserves in vaded the neighborhood and chased the bandits to cover as soon as the robberies were reported. Miss Louise Klose, 266 Twelttn street, was the first victim. Two ot the robbers stopped her at Eleventh and Main streets, and after threaten ing to shoot her if she screamed, took S4.20 from her Thev returned 20 cents for carfare. Miss Klose. who works in Ernst's confectionery. Broadway and Washington street. was on her way home when she was robbed. Before Miss Klose could reach her home and notify the police the high waymen stopped another pedestrian at Fifth and Mill streets, but he es caped them and telephoned the police. A doxen .policemen started for the scene in the patrol automobile, but before they arrived the robbers had held up Gordon Bennett of the Car melita apartments and had robbed him of a gold watch, a gold chain and a gold pencil. The robbers had disappeared before the police arrived, although Mr. Bennett had been robbed on the same corner where highway men stopped the man who escaped. The police did not learn the name of the man who evaded the robbers. Rev. H. T. Cash, pastor of Grace Baptist church, reported to Inspectors Gordon and Wright last night that three men had tried to hold him up at East Twenty-ninth and East An keny . streets and had knocked him down when he refused to elevate his hands. The robbers did not obtain his money. Rev. Mr. Cash said one of the rob bers had pointed a revolver at him and had ordered him to hold up his hands. When the minister refused to obey one of the highwaymen struck him on the jaw, knocking him to the pavement. The trio then fled without searching his pockets. Patrolman Johnson early this morning arrested three boys who answered the descrip tion of the robbers. MINES OPEN PLOT TO MAIL BOMBS AT CHRISTMAS BARED REPETITIOX OF NEW YORK MAYDAY OUTRAGES FEARED. Government Acts to Pre vent Suffering. People of Portland learned yester day that the correct, modish appear ance of the policemen of the Rose City was due to corsets. The secret, although denied by every member of the Portland force, came out in an Anaconda. Mont., newspaper. Here it is, read for your self. "Consternation was thrown among the members of the Butte police force yesterday when Chief Jere Murphy announced he was considering a reg ulation requiring all officers to weari corsets. " 'They're doing it in other cities. he said, 'and judging from the archi tecture of some of you fellows the improvement is badly needed here.' "The chief had received a communi cation from Portland that all patrol men of that city are required to cor set themselves in order to give the force more modish and artistic lines. They appear more stylish in the stays, said the communication. The usual rotundity of form which marks the policeman is removed and he takes on a more clean-cut appearance." The secret thus revealed was de nied yesterday by Chief of Police Jen kins. "Our boya are born that way. That's the reason they make Beau Brummel look like 30 cents," he explained.

The administration, it was thoucrht by those In position to know, had ful ly expected the miners to reject the 14 per cent wage increase offered by Fuel Administrator Garfield. Antici pating this, plans had been considered for augmenting the present output of bituminous mines, officially figured at oetter man 40 per cent of normal. A statement by Assistant Attornev- General Ames late today gave assur ances to all miners that ample pro tection would be afforded if they re turned to work, even if troops had to be called out.

Troops Ready to Act. xne department or justice state ment called attention to the fact that instructions Issued heretofore by the war department in connection with the possible use of troops in coal field regions still were in effect and that department commanders stood ready to guard the fields the instant their aid was requested by the state authorities. Operators tonight set out to resume production so far as possible under the muddled conditions by telegraph ing notice for posting at mines every where offering an increase of 14 per cent for all men willing to work. Increased Output Expected. There were few expressions as to how this inducement might be re ceived, but representatives of the miners here still declared It would be no incentive, and that it wouM h Ignored, especially In the central com petitive fields. Operators, however. believed that it would draw inr numbers to the mines and that next week would see a big increase In the daily soft coal output. In discussing department of justice plans.

"The public cannot and will not be asked to bear the increased bur den of higher prices of coal nor of the payment of a large sum as wages to any special class of workers " he said. Pointing out that his conclusion had been reached only after careful and exhaustive research. Dr. Garfield declared neither the protestation of the. miners against the 14 per cent wage advance, nor the insistence of the operators that they be permitted to charge a higher ori e for coal.
