Plaza district in the older section of
this city. where riot among unem-
ployed men resulted in the death of
one and the injury of more than a
dozen others late Christmas after
noon. was practically placed under
martial law by police today.
A Gordon of patrolmen searched
all persons attempting to pass into
the district for weapons while city
detectives hunted the Mexican quar-
tors for information concerning the
reported death of two more rioters
Last night police raided every res
taurant, saloon, POOL hall and lodg-
ing house in the vicinity of the Plaza
arresting all who were armed or
who showed signs of having partic-
ipated IN the riot.
Police visited the rendezvous of the
Industrial Workers OF the World.
where they claim to have found
short lead pipes. clubs and other
weapons.
The riot occurred when the police
attempted to break up street meet
ing of nearly thousand of the un-
employed. mostly foreigners. at which
speeches. melting violence were made.
In the fight Rafael Adames, u
Mexican. was killed by Harry Koen-
igheim, patrolman. Witnesses de-
clare that keonigheim probably saved
the lives of half dozen policemen.

President Wilson today mapped out
the program reception for his
visit here. He will sleep at least
nine hours each night After break
fast he will motor to the Mississippi
country club, 3 miles, for n game of
golf with his physician, DR.. Cary T.
Grayson. At noon he will dispose of
important letters and kilograms from
the White House. After luncheon
he will take an automobile ride with
his family, followed, perhaps, by a
long walk He plans to spend his
evenings reading. He hopes thereby
to get back to vigorous health.
While the President will do little
official work. there are two things
uppermost in his mind-the selection
of members of the federal reserve
board, and the writing of special
address to congress on the relations
OF the government to big business
and the trusts.
There Is little possibility that the
President win select members OF the

The injection ~ what the admins

to be dwelt upon by the President.
Those who conferred with the
President before leaving Washing

innate establishment of an interstate
trade commission to outline accurate
details of what the Sherman law per-
mits or prohibits. 1t is considered
likely that this one feature will be
discussed. lt is probable that the

Hostilities were not so marked to-

in earnest III their effort to raise
funds for the stricken families. An
Almost unlimited amount of money
was pledged by the mine owners and

the survivors.
Following these went others with
the diplomatic suggestion that peace
be arranged.
The funerals will be held Sunday.
Each nationality will hold a separate
service. Coroner William Fisher will
open an investigation Monday.
1t is stated here that the morgues
contained 8 bodies. although only
~ are known to have been killed
Wednesday night. Authorities are
unable to account for the difference.
In telegram Secretary Wilson
said it appeared that the tragedy
was not i'll any way connected with
the strike situation" He added:
From information in my posseion it
would appear to be purely a statutory
crime solely within the Jurisdiction of
the police powers of the state" He
declared that he was shocked at ac-
counts of the disaster, and expressed
to President Meyer sympathy for
friends and families of the victims.
The citizens committee say that
