lay Mediation.

Washington, d. C.-The United
Government news of the fate of Privat,
Parks, the American infantryman who
strayed into Mexico lines near Vera
Cruz, declaring that unless information
about him was given Immediately the
American Government would consider
that IAN unfriendly and hostile act
had been committed in violation of the
understanding for cessation OF war
like moves pending mediation.
President Wilson and Secretary
Bryan, drafted strong communica
tion after receiving word from the
Brazilian Minister in Mexico City that
Parks had been executed"
No mention was made In the Minis.
ter's report Of whether he was shot as
a spy after court-martial or whether
his body was burned, as has been per.
sistently reported to General Funston.
The American Government cabled the
Brazilian Minister to inform the
Huerta Government of the strong feel
ing OF the United States In the mat
ter, directing him to make vigorous
representations concerning the Incl
dent.
The note asked the Minister to pro.
test to the Huerta Government that II
Parks were alive the failure to explain
his whereabouts was in itself an un-
friendly attitude, and that II the sol
der has been executed, as has been
reported, such execution OF man who
came into the Mexican lines in full
uniform was contrary to military pro.
cedure Of civilized nations and an act
OF hostility.
No mention was made In the Amerl.
can note of the course the United
States intends to pursue In the mat
ter, but an official close to the Presi-
dent said 1t was one OF the things
which would be held up against the
Huerta government when the final
reckoning came over the offenses COM
mitted against the United States.
The three South American mediators
had received no communication from
the United States about the Parks
incident and persons in the confidence
OF the President said the affair prob
ably would not interfere with the be.
ginning Of the mediation proceedings,
though 1t was recalled in many quar-
ters that the United States accepted
the tender of good Offices with the
reservation that no hostile acts toward
Americans should occur while the
negotiations were In progress.

TEN KILLED By
ACID EXPLOSION
Four Others Taken From Debris
May Die.
BUILDING 0BLITERATED
Most OF Victims Were Chemists
At Mexican Crude Rubber
Companys Plant, In
Detroit

Detroit.-Ten men, most OF them
chemists, were killed by the explosion
of acid and chemicals in the mixing
room of the Mexican Crude Rubber
Company, on the West Side here. Four
other employees, removed from the
steaming debris, were taken to hos
pital and all may die. Two men were
less seriously hurt The building, q
one-story structure Of solid concrete
and cement, was almost obliterated.
Other buildings within radius Of a
mile were more or less damaged. The
loss was estimated at $4,000.
Among those who escaped were John
II. Evans, superintendent, and John c..
Treadwell, manager of the plant.
Just what caused the explosion prob
ably will never be known. In the
mixing room was large vat Of molten
rubber being prepared by a secret pro-
cess. Without a moments warning
the building was torn to pieces Every
man who was in the mixing room at
that moment was killed.
Masses of cement and concrete were
found several blocks from the scene of
the explosion. Nearby buildings were
battered by the hail Of flying stone and
hundreds OF windows broken. Several
pedestrians had narrow escapes. A
short distance from the rubber factory
was the plant of the Commerce Motor
Car Company, which was badly dam
aged.
The company MANUFACTURED imita-
ton leather and 1t is understood that
ether and other explosives were used
in large quantities. Because of the
secret process of preparing the crude
rubber, employees were not allowed to
leave their department to enter other
parts of the plant. Few of the en-
ployes knew each other and 1t was
some time before the victims were
identified.
