Americans in
Lower California
Want Protection
Ranchers Who Are Being Threatened
by So-Called Mexican Liberals
Appeal to Washington.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. July 19.-American
ranchers in Lower California are being
threatened by the so-called Mexican lib
erals there. The United States today re-
quested the government OF Mexico to af-
ford them adequate protection.
The State departments attention was
drawn to the situation in a telegram from
the American consul at Enzenada who re-
ported that Americans had been molested
and had appealed to him for assistance.
Ambassador Wilson at Mexico City was
Immediately instructed to take up the
matter with President De La Barra.
The renewal Of a delicate situation in
Lower California has increased the anxiety
OF the administration over recent develop
ments in Mexico. Conditions in that part of
the country were threatening several
months ago, but with the termination Of
the revolution, Mexico was given permis-
sion to send troops across American terri
tory to quell the Independent move there.
The armed and so-called socialistic rebel
lion. however, died out before the soldiers
reached tho scene. Since then It had been
supposed that peace and contentment had
settled on that quarter of Mexico and that
the lives and property of American citizens
was secure,

Discovery of Cholera
Carriers Complicates
Fight on Disease

NEW YORK. July 19,-The health officers
not only of New York, but of the whole
country may be asked to help repel the
threatened invasion OF Asiatic cholera. The
discovery OF five cholera carriers" among
the 600 immigrants undergoing bacteriologi-
cal examination at quarantine emphasized
what Health Officer Doty has said about
the difficulty Of combining the disease to
the quarantine hospitals or ports of entry
DR.. Doty is comforting with Surgeon Cen
eral Wyman. head OF the United States
marine hospital service to plan how the
country may be protected against car
riers" who harbor the germs while them
selves free from their ill-effects. A system
of general observation is contemplated, SO
that even after tho carrier" is released
from quarantine the health authorities Of
the place where he settles may watch for
possible transmission OF the disease.
The case OF these cholera carriers pre-
sonts puzzle. As yet the health authori-
ties have not decided how soon It will be
safe to permit them TO be at large. Only
the careful system of ARCHAEOLOGICAL ex-
animation put into effect here where
cholera appeared could, 1t is said have de-
tected the presence Of cholera germs in

WASHINGTON. July 1s.-Denouncing the
report Of the majority members Of the spe-

The majority report, recommending the
dismissal Of former Chief Clerk Michael OF

by the minority as "a weak partisan effort
to make scandal"
'Tt is an attempt" say the minority re-
port, ''to besmirch the memory OF one OF
our greatest secretaries of state, the late
John Hay.
"The effort to condemn Michael without
a chance to be heard is itself a scandal

members of which have a business OF

was the sensational charge made today
by State Fire Marshal c. j. Doyle in an
address delivered before the Chicago Asso-

"The country is facing one OF the most
gigantic, organized arson conspiracies the

Marshal Doyle. THE state fire marshals
Of Illinois have united with the state fire
marshals OF Kentucky, Tennessee and
Ohio to wipe out the band of fifteen man
at the bottom of this arson conspiracy.
The head of the fire bug trust is in
Kansas city from which city the opera
tions Of the entire gang is operated. The

the daring of those behind the plot has
grown, into a dozen or more cities. They
have been found at work in Bloomington

Mr.. Ryan said that the firm he was
Identified with had no connection with
the Guggenheim interests, either directly
or indirectly. so far as he knew.
I'VE wanted land in Alaska that we were
willing to improve at our own expense"
said Mr. Ryan. and there was nothing to
suggest grab in our proposition"
well, when l came down to the elimina-
tion contest in Alaska, did l go to Sec
retary Ballinger? No. l went to the man
who could handle the matter-Secretary
Wilson. Who. l ask you. is in charge OF
the forestry? Mr.. Ballinger is not. Mr..
Wilson is at the final lineup.
There was never time that 1 tried to
get one foot of ground at Controller Bay
in Alaska that the request was not abso-
lutely on the level l never tried to use
one bit OF senatorial social or any other
interest in advancing my requests. Every
thing was based on pure justice.
And now, one last word:
81 never wrote such a letter, such a
postscript or such an address. 1 do not
know Secretary Ballnger well enough to
address him by any name excepting his
formal title. l do not know President
Tafts brother even by sight and could not
possibly refer to him This note, made
public by this woman, seems to me to be
