Another American Murder
Held Last Straw
U. S. IS PREPARED TO ACT
Lansing Gives Pointed Mes
sage to Ambassador, Out

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.

teachers this week after agitation by
alleged radicals in that community
had planned to put the school under
their control, according to a report

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.

Before Miss Klose could reach her

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

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

People of Portland learned yester

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

" 'They're doing it in other cities.
he said, 'and judging from the archi

improvement is badly needed here.'
"The chief had received a communi

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

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. Assistant Attorney-General
Ames said:
All united states attorneys in the
bituminous coal fields have been of
ficially advised of the result of the
negltiations at Washington and have
been given instructions relative to the
situation.
Restriction la t'orbiddem.
"It is. of course, obvious that the
time has come when ample protection
will be furnished all persons desiring
to work in mines. All persons, wheth
er miners or operators, making any
agreement or arrangement with each
other to restrict the supply of coal
will be proceeded against as the law
provides and it should be understood
that any person who aids or abets In
restricting the supply of coal Is like
wise guilty by the terms of the Lever
act.
"Instructions heretofore issued by
the war department are situ in force
and under these instruction depart
ment commanders will act in proper
cases when requested to do so by the
state authorities."
While various federal agencies were
preparing to carry out the govern
ment's programme. Fuel Administra
tor Garfield reaffirmed. In even more
emphatic terms, his position that
"profiteering on the part of either
labor or capital will not be tolerated.
High Wages Not Allowed.
"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.
