suits to the American flag ard as
saults made openly upon American
citizens in the streets, the anti

last night with the stoning of the
Mexican Herald offices, developed this
Afternoon into an affair of interna-
tional importance.
A Vigorous prot st was register ID
by the American Ambassador with
the Mexican Department OF Foreign

mess district, WAS torn down this al
terroon by a crowd OF several hun
dred medical students and others,
trampled and spat upon and torn TO
bits. Later photographs of the crowd
were taken before the offices of the
Diarce Del Hogan. a Mexican npwspa-
per, with many individuals waving
bits of the tattered banner.
The demonstrations today was a
continuation of the affair of last
night, caused by antipathy aroused
among the people by the burning at
the stake of Antonio Rodriguez at
Rock Springs, Texas, on the night
of November 3.
Publication of the violent attacks
on Americans by several Mexican
papers, tended TO further incense
the medical studuns, who Were the
promoters of last nights demonstra-
ton.

boosted Yankee civilization"

palace the students marched through
Avenida San Francisco, the princi-
pal business thoroughfare of the city
stopping in front of the candy store,
where the flag incident occurred.
Gathering numbers as it proceeded
the crowd marched to the offices
of the Department of Foreign Rela-
lions, making demonstrations on the
way against American business places
and breaking windows in the Saint
Francis hotel. Jack Davis an automo
bile repair man, had hand-to-hand
encounter with a dozen members OF
the crowd when they attempted to
tear the top from his automobile and
enter his establishment. He knock
ed several of his assailants TO the
pavement and drove them from his
place.
