S. P. FORCES VICTORS IN
SACRAMENTO SKIRMISH
Police at Capital Fail in Effort
to Drive Railroad from Dis
puted Street Crossing

SACRAMENTO, Nov. 15.-In strug-
gle today between the forces of the
Southern Pacific railroad and the Sac
ramento police department the South
ern Pacific won the fight for control
of the Front and Main street crossings,
desired by the Northern Electric COM
pany as an approach to the proposed
bridge at the foot Of NJ street.
Chief Ahern and a squad of men
took possession of a locomotive stand
ing across NJ street at Front and at
tempted to move it up the track, but
the attempt failed because after IT
had been moved up trip back was
necessary to get a box car which had
been uncoupled by the railroad men,
and once back at the old station the
Southern Pacific engineer and firema n
KILLED" the engine by opening steam
valves, water plugs, smothering the
fire and blocking the wheels. Finally
the company ran two engines from
the crossing when the Northern Elec-
tric agreed not to cut the rails of the
Southern Pacific.
A fence inclosing the entire foot OF
M street claimed by the Southern Pa
cific has been removed. although the
board of trustees, the mayor and also
the city superintendent of streets de-
mand it's removal Thousands Of tons
of scrap iron and machinery still stand
in the street, blocking the progress of
the Northern Electric track layers.

BECOME
CANNIBALS' PREY
Austrian Scientists Reported to
Have Been MaSsacred on
Solomon Island
(Associated Press)

VICTORIA, B. c., Nov. 15.-That
they were killed and eaten by can
nibals is the solution offered of a mys-
terry Of fourteen years concerning the
fate of the Austrian scientific expedi-
ton from the ship Albatross in the
Solomon islands. The discovery was
made by Dr. Northcott Deck of the
South Sea Evangelical miss on. News
Of the finding of the remains of the
party from the AlbatrOss was received
today by the steamer Zealandia from
Australia.
The expedition from the Albatross
was headed by Baron Won Norbeck,
and included Lieutenant Budik. Mid
shipman de Beufort and nine sailors.
Dr. Deck found evidences of mas
sacre on Tatuve island and from the
natives learned the details of the
slaughter.
The Austrians, according to the
natives tale were surprised by the
blacks. Baron Won Norbeck was
tomahawked by a savage, who crept
up behind him The sailors fought off
the blacks after several were wound
ed, and made a camp where the baron
died. During the night the camp was
attacked again and only three of the
men escaped. They made their way to
the coast without learning the fate of
their fellows who fell into captivity.
Remnants of bodies cast aside after
the cannibal feast were found near
the scene of the massacre, and this
leads DR.. Deck to believe that the
captives fell prey to the inhuman prac-
tices of the savages.

OFFICIAL HERE ON
OIL INVESTIGATION
g. o. Smith of U. S. Geological
Survey to Probe Problems
of Big Industry
WILL START THE QUIZ TODAY
Governments Man to Go Direct
to Principal Field and Find
Out Situation

Oil men and oil interests of Califor-
liza will be given an opportunity within
the next ten days to place their griev-
ances before a federal officer who has
jurisdiction over their particular field
of endeavor, for George o. Smith, head
of the bureau of the United States geo
logical survey, arrived in Los Angeles
last night for the purpose OF giving
them an opportunity to do so.
Mr. Smith, who arrived late last night
on the Salt Lake limited, will go to
Bakersfield this evening, where he will
hold open court for several days-or at
least will hear the representatives of
the oil interests Of that section, in or
der to inform himself Of the problems
confronting oil men, with view OF dis
covering some method of overcoming
these problems. He will be accompa-
MED by w. C. Mendenhall and Robert
Anderson, both engineers connected
with the geological survey.
In regard to Mr. Smiths visit tQAthis
coast, Mr. Mendenhall said last even
mig at the Van Nuys, where he is a
guest:
"NIr. Smith is here to acquaint him
self at first hand with the problems
which are confronting the men engaged
in developing the oil industry in Call
fornia. He desires to find out their
opinion on certain proposed changes in
the laws governing them. He desires
to ascertain whether they want certain
changes in the rules governing the de-
partment of which he is the director, or
whether they are satisfied with these
rules as they stand. In short, he wants
to find out just what the oil men them
selves-the interests which will be most
affected should any changes be made
want in regard to legislation. AS
means of getting this information he
has deemed it best to come to the coast
and personally meet the oil men here
1--WE will probably be engaged on this
inquiry for ten days." he continued.
1--WE will go to Bakersfield first, hold
informal meetings with the oil men
there and inspect the fields, and then
continue on to San Francisco, where
the same program will be repeated. l
do not think that Mr.. Smith will return
here after his Investigations, but will
instead return at once to Washington"
AS Mr.. Smith will be here only until
Q o'clock this evening, several informal
meetings with local men interested In
the industry have been arranged for.
They will probably be held in the Van
Nuys hotel.

MUNICIPAL LEAGUE TAKES
UP CITY HEALTH PROBLEM
Chicago Delegate Reviews Status
of Direct Nominations

BUFFALO, N. Y, Nov. 15.-The best
methods of conserving the public in
terest in the granting Of franchises,
nomination and convention reforms,
and municipal health and sanitation,
were among the important subjects
taken up at todays sessions of the
National Municipal league.
William Dudley Foulke of Richmond,
Ind, was chosen president to succeed
Charles J. Bonaparte of Baltimore.
Louis NJ. Greeley of Chicago spoke
on "The Present Status of Direct
Nominations" He reviewed in detail
the progress of the movement in all
states and court decisions affecting
direct nominations.
1.-THE general result OF recent ex-
periences," said he, seems to show
that where the voters are alert and
interested the direct primary will ac-
complish the purpose for which it was
intended-the characterization of nom
nations, the wrestling of control of
party nominations from party bosses
or machines"

WAITER FIRES At
CAFE PROPRIETOR
Bullet Misses Mark - AsSaiIant
IntimidateS Special Dep
uty Sheriff

Angered because he was laid off for
the evening, Otto Wunderlich, waiter
employed at the Palace cafe at First
and Spring streets, appeared at the
place at 10:30 o'clock last night, walked
behind the service bar where he usual
ly worked, and when ordered out of
the place fired art A. Jahnke, proprietor
of the cafe. and held up Ernest R.
Werdin, a special deputy sheriff, when
the latter attempted to disarm the
irate waiter. Wunderiich was arrest
ed few minutes afterward by Patrol
man c. A. Hodson, who, hearing the
report Of the shot and seeing the peo-
pie running from the place, rushed
into the cafe and disarmed the man.
Wunderlich, who is on the night
shift, appeared for duty last night in
an intoxicated condition. He was un-
able to attend to his duties and was
sent away by Mrs. Jahnke, wife of the
proprietor. He went to his room, and,
obtaining a revolver, reappeared at the
restaurant several hours later. He
waited a short time at the entrance,
apparently looking for Jahnke. Final
ly he entered the place and walked be-
hind the bar. Jahnke saw him and
started to eject him. Wunderlich saw
him coming, drew his gun and fired.
The bullet lodged in the floor. Jahnke
stood his ground and repeated his order
for the waiter to leave.
Instead of complying with the COM
mand Wunderlich pointed the gun at
his employer and ordered him away. AT
this moment Ernest r. Werdin, a re-
cent candidate for sheriff and who
wears a badge of special deputy sher-
iff, approached and ordered Wunder-
Itch to relinuuish the weapon. The
waiter then turned the weapon on Wer-
din and ordered the latter to let him
alone Werdin promptly obeyed and
suspended action until Patrolman Hod-
son appeared.
In the meantime the patrons of the
place, scenting danger, promptly aban-
doned their tables and rushed pell nell
to the street. The orchestra, feeling
that it was up to them to save the day,
struck UP a lively tune and succeeded
in allaying the fears Of those who were
unable to get away in the first rush.
The musicians further restored order by
playing See the Conquering Hero
Comes" when Patrolman Hodson
marched in, arrested Wunderlich and
marched out again.
Wunderlch is booked at the central
police station on a charge of assault
with a deadly weapon.

OKLAHOMA CITY LOSES
FIGHT OVER CAPITAL
Court Rules Election is Void Be-
cause of Defect in the
Ballots Used

GUTHRIE, Okla, Nov. 15.-Olkaho-
ma City lost in the state capital fight
today when the supreme court decided
that the seat of the state government
must remain in Guthrie. The court
held that the election on the amend
ment to remove the capital to Okla
homa City was void, because of defects
in the title of the ballot.
The court decided that the provision
of the enabling act locating the capital
at Guthrie until 1918 had only the force
of a law that could be repealed by the
votes of the people of the state.
The decision upsets the plan Of the
state capital commission now engaged
in laying out state capital site at
Oklahoma City, The law regulating
the submission of initiative questions
requires that an essential question in
the ballot title shall be ''shall it be
adopted" meaning the entire measure.
This question was omitted from the
ballot title in the capital removal eiec-
ton.

Competitors for Prize

tended the grand ball given under the
auspices of Helmet lodge No. 25,
knights of Pythias, in the Goldberg

directly interested in the company be-
ing formed believe it will capture a
prize for Los Angeles.

U. S. TO TEST LANDING OF
AEROPLANES ON WARSHIPS
Navy Officials Study War Utility
of Air Craft

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-The next
step which the United States navy will
take in its study of airships to de-
termine their utility for war will be
to test the possibility of an aerial
craft landing on a warship.
This was indicated by navy officials
today, who are convinced as a result
of Aviator Ely's fight from the Bir-
mingham that the airship will play an
important part in the naval warfare of
the future. Officers of the navy gen
orally believe its principal usefulness
tor fleet will be for scout duty.
The question of landing an airship
on a vessel presents many difficulties.
Some experts believe a net could be
stretched to receive the airship and
protect it from turrets and other OBJ
stacles, while others believe it will be
necessary to equip the machines with
pontoons so that they may descend
in the water beside the warship.

NO WAR, DECLARES
MEXICAN OFFICIAL
Ambassador to United States
Explains His Country'S Atti-
tude Regarding LynChing
FRIENDSHIP is NOT ALTERED
Incident Will Be Closed as Soon
as Guilty Are Punished,
La Barra Asserts
FRIENDSHIP is NOT ALTERED
ASSOCIATED Press)

NEW YORK, Nov. 15.-Senor Don de
la Barra, Mexican ambassador TO the
United States, explained the attitude OF
his government on the Rodriguez
lynching in Texas, and the subsequent
demonstration against Americans IN
Mexico, in an addres at the Quill cIuo
tonight.
"In former times" he said, "two ma
tions could be plunged into the horrors
of war by the simple caprice OF a
sovereign. Today such a thing would
be impossible, the people impose their
will and, within proper bounds, they
are the arbiters of their destinies. You
have lately seen proof Of the bene-
fetal effect of such international policy
in the unhappy events that nave pro
duced passing disturbances on elIheF
side of our frontier.
The manifestation of public sentiment
in Mexico, which would have been
easily understandable within reason
able bounds, exceeded the limits re-
quired by law, but my government,
acting with the utmost promptness'
repressed such unexpected disorders
The American government was not re-
sponsible for the punishable acts which
gave rise to a public manifestation
born of legitimate sentiment.
BOTH SHOW GOOD FAITH
1.-THE statements simultaneously
made by the secretary of state of the
United States and the secretary OF
foreign affairs of Mexico show the
same sentiment and contain equal
promise of a prompt and effective solu-
flon of the case. My government mas
already shown by it's prompt action
that it is fully aware Of its Obligations
and ready to discharge them consls-
tently with the sovereign rights In
Mexico over whose integrity we are
very jealous.
"When this has been accomplished
in a sincere spirit of justice and other
legal consequences have been fulfilled,
the incident will be a matter OF MIS-
tory. But the lesson for the future
will be a profitable one, without alter
ing in the slightest the friendship be-
tween the two countries and the two
governments"
Senior de la Barra explained 1t had
not yet been definitely established
whether Rodriguez was a Mexican sub
ject, but that this will soon be deter
mined by his government.
