WASHINGTON, Aug. 2-The State
Department fully approves Of the ac-
tion taken by United States Minister
Powell at Port au Prince in enforcing
respect for the sanctty of the United
States Legation. The general practice
has been to discourage United States
officials in granting asylum TO fugitives
from justice, but the point now in

in making the arrest within the legation
premises, not the propriety of granting
asylum.

Speaking of threatened prosecution
Mr.. Pratt said- Why don't they prose-
cute some of the corporations which
place men on their blacklists and fol-
low them up all over the country in
order to keep them out of employment,
sometimes for years. This boycott is
undoubtedly a great hardship TO many
thousands of people. 1t is, however,
the only remaining weapon with which
to- fight powerful corporation like the
Big Consolidated. Should we lose it

organized labor everywhere. 1 have no

Les ANGELES. Aug. 2.-Marshal p.
Wright of Tres, Mexico. who is accom-
panied by Judge Morales OF Hermosillo,
tonight arrived in Los Angeles. Mr..
Wright. who is mining engineer and
operates mines On a large scale eighty
miles east Of Ures, gives employment
to nearly 100 Yaquis.
Il do not believe the reports that
General Torres has been killed" said
Mr.. Wright. and neither am l con-
vinced that the old Indian chief, Tahie-
alta, is dead. Torres has fought the
Yaquis TOO long to be caught by any
of their cunning"
Judge Morales says General Torres,
who conquered these savages several
years ago, will pursue the tactics OF
driving them to the mountains and iso-
lating them in bands that they may be
more effectually attacked. Wright be
lieves that the present outbreak will
lead to the determination of the Yaquis.
When General Torres subjugated
them and the treaty was signed at To-
rim" said Wright, "he emphasized the
fact that If they again rebelled it would
mean a war that would not end until
the republic completely conquered the
tribe.
Two Americans, Jack Remley, a
Hermosnlo merchant, and Ed Miller, a
photogra pher, have been murdered
while going through the country"
Wright says General Torres is re-
cruiting his regiments to full strength
and when decisive battle is fought il
will break the backbone of the present
rising.

the police that a street railroad man
had tried TO purchase dynamite from
him. The report was investigated and
the arrest of Schoenthal followed The
prisoner admits that he is the man who
approached Stokes, but he says he
made the inquiry at the instance of
another man whose name he does not
know. He says he was approached by
the stranger, who asked him if he knew
where ten pounds of dynamite could be
purchased The prisoner told the
stranger that he knew a man in Not
tingham who used dynamite and he
might have some to sell. Thereupon
he went to Nottingham, saw Stokes,
.lllt faited TO get the explosive. He re-
ported his failure to the stranger, ac-
cording TO his story, and that was the
end of the matter.
The police will not say what they
think of the story, but they declare
they are not yet through with the in
vestigation and they look upon the ar
rest as an important one. Schoenthal
had been employed by the company
about four years before the strike be

There was practically no change in
the strike situation here to-day. Presi-
