everal abilities to labor and call
ed for bids.
The crowd which thronged
round the bandstand contained
Bany women who took an active
.... i thp bidding. Unlike the
paiL fc
nrtlnn of yesterday, work for a
week or more at wages that bid
ding carried as high as yib a ween
van obtained by several men.
The party of unemployed went
(mm their west end headquarters
to the Common through the nocn
day crowds in the business district
gathering considerable audience
as they went. The first three men
to be put up found jobs among' the
the bidders, two weeks' workwith
board, clothing and pay at the rate
of 125 a week from a ttieatrtcal
producer and another $25 a month
with food, clothing' and lodging
tor undescribed labor.
Many persons who took no part
In the bidding contributed toward
feeding the workless men.
A fourth man, Angelo Rlcci,
who said he had served two and
I half years in the Canadian army
and was twice wounded, came up
lor a job after sleeping anywhere
he could find for-Ahe last two
months, frequently going three or
four days without food. An offer
of work at $25 a month with boar 1
aid clothing was the bid 'hat
brought him down from the block.
Tony Hruno, a former servile
man, was bid in at $25 a month to
be an assistant janitor.

McNeil Island, Wash., Sent. 9.
Roy Gardner, master escape artist
was believed to be the prowler
who drew attention of two ranch
es on this Island late last night.
Reports reached the federal peni
tentiary of what are considered
probable visits of the hunted mail
bandit at the Rudolph Seaburg
ranch and the Charles Savage
ranch. Two Rhots were taken at
the suspect by Mr. Savage.
As these places are In a general
way in the vicinity in which Gard
ner is believed to have been hid
ing, the penitentiary guards have
been doubled on the west side of
the Island in an effort to find trace
of the man, if Indeed it were he
who disturbed the two ranchers,
and to prevent his escape in the
heavy fog which closed in on the
island and surrounding waters of
Puget Sound early this morning.
About 10:40 o'clock last night
Mrs. Savage was aroused by the
sharp barking of the house dog.
She aroused her husband who
donned a few clothes, seized his
shotgun and darted out of the
house. Fleeing footsteps were
heard but no one was seen. Sav
age fired twice but heard no more
and returned to his home, con
vinced it was Gardner who had
been the prowler.
The Savage ranch Is less than a
mile northwest of the federal penitentiary.

Dover Sent
To Mexico
By Hughes
New Plan Launched to
Untangle Diplomatic
Snarl That Prevents
Recognition
By Louis P. Kirby
Mexico City, Sept. 9. Outside
of President Harding and Secre
tary of State Hughes, the Amer
ican most talked about In Mexlca
to-day is Elmer Dover, of Tacoma
Washington. Mr. Dover, who
came to Mexico City with a group
of Pacific Coast bankers and,
while here, held numerous con
ferences wtth President Obregon,
Is now in Washington, where he
Is working to bring about an
agreement between the United
States and Mexico. If he Is
successful and the United Staten
government recognizes the Obre
gon" government It Is likely
that Mr. Dover will be the next
American Minister to Mexico.
There have been no outward
Indications that Mr. Dover Is
making progress, but Mexican of
ficials and American business
men In Mexico have not given up
hope.
Mr. Dover was active in Presi
dent Harding's campaign. For
merly he lived In Ohio and at
one time was secretary of the
Republican National Committee.
When he departed for Washing
ton he left behind high hopes
that, owing to his close relation
ship with Republican official he
might be able to induce Secretary
Hughes to change hi severe at
titude toward Mexico.
Eager (or Recognition
There I little doubt that most
of the Americana here are eager
for American recognition. Some
having business which would Im
prove from the Mexican Govern
ment, favor Immediate, uncondi
tional recognition. Others would
be satisfied If the United States
modified its attitude toward
Mexico. They talked with Mr.
Dover while be was here and Im
pressed their views upon him.
Whether Mr. Dover carried any
proposals to Washington with him
Is not known, but Mexican of
ficial emphaalzed to him their
desire for recognition before any
treaty negotiation were under
taken. Mexican have been led to be
lieve that propaganda for recogni
tion I making much prograe
with the public In the United
States.
