MEXICO TO ACT
Immediately
United States Demands Sum-
mary Action From Authorities.
BRYAN SENDS STRONG NOTE
Shooting of American immigration In
spector at Juarez Calls Forth
Drastic Representations.

Washington, July 28.-Strong repre-
sensations, the most drastic in phrase
| ology that have been made since the
present American administration came
| into power were made to the Huerta
government in Mexico.
The United States government de
manded not only the prompt arrest,
| court martial and punishment of the
Mexican federal soldiers who shot
| Charles D. Dixon, an American immi-
grafton official at Juarez, Mex, Sat
urday, but the immediate release OF
| Charles Bissel and Bernard Mcdonald,
| mining managers, imprisoned by fed
| eral soldiers at Chihuahua City, and
said to be threatened with execution.
So Serious were these incidents re-
garded IN official circles that they
overshadowed largely the policy which
the visit of Ambassador Henry Lane
Wilson had brought to climax.
Ambassador Wilson declined to dis
cuss the affair.
The president had Ambassador Will
sons long report in hand, studied it
carefully, and after an early confer
ence with Mr.. Bryan will be prepared
to inquire of the ambassador what
remedies he would suggest.
In the meantime the ambassador
would give no inkling of the recon-
mendation he has in mind beyond the
general statement that his plan would
conserve the friendly relations be-
tween Mexico and the United States
and protect, likewise, the interests OF
Americans in the Southern republic.
Protest to Huerta Government.
The ambassadors long experience
with Outbursts against American citi-
zens, such as those against which the
American government lodged a pro-
test, will make him an important fac
tor in whatever policy is adopted to-
ward the Huerta government on &C
count of developments at Juarez and
Chihuahua.
The demand that the soldiers at
Juarez be contaminated and that the
guilty be punished is much more
pointed request than has hitherto been
voiced by the American government.
Although Mcdonald, who is BissePs
fellow prisoner at Santa Rosetta, is
reported to be an English subject, the
demands for protection covered both
men, and the American consul at Chi
huahua was ordered to go to the ex-
treme of precaution to prevent harm
from Detailing the two mining men.
kilograms corroborating the reports
OF the shooting at Juarez were receiv-
ed at the state department.
There is little information about the
status of Mcdonald and Bissel.
1t appears that they were en- route
to Parrel in an automobile to bring
out refugees when arrested at Santa
Rosalia.
The machine was confiscated and
the two men taken to the city of Chi
huahua, where news of their impend-
ing fate was carried to the border by
Americans

FRENCH GAMING TABLES
NET MILLIONS YEARLY
Bill Now Before Chamber Of Deputies
Deals With Control by
the State.
Correspondence of The Star.

Foreign Correspondence of The Star.
PARIS May u. 1913.
The chamber Of deputies is conducting
a ministerial bill dealing with state con-
troll of gambling, which is spreading
throughout the country. There are at
present al watering places with author
lied gaming tables, which pay a portion
of their receipts to the government.
While theoretically, all the world is in
favor of the complete suppression of
gambling, there are many practical objec-
tons against this step, which. as several
deputies have pointed out. would ruin a
number of fourishing watering places in
France for the benefit of Monte Carlo.
NJ. Piou. who has urged the chamber to
refuse to strike any bargain with gam
bling, estimates that at the authorized
gaming resorts alone the sums staked
amount to over $2OONO.GOO a year The
profits made by the chief gaming tables
last year amounted to S2.O00NO at the
Enghien Casino. in the neighborhood of
Paris: 81 800 600 at the municipal Casino
of Nice, $4,000 at Nichy and Trouville,
$4,000 at Biarritz. 100000 at AiX-les-
Bains and $3O0.OO0 at BoulOgne and
Cannes.
The government bill provides for an in
creased tax upon the net takings of the
tables. which would range progressively
from Is per cent on takings under S1OO
600 to As per cent on those over $1,000
600

One marvels how major league teams
of few years back managed TO go
through a season with twelve. or thir-
teen players when today the average
team finds itself pushed for material
even though it carry twenty five play
ers on it's list.
In the old days few players were ever
idle Pitchers played the outfield when
they were not pitching, while catchers
were constantly being used in the 1nfeid
when they could be spared behind the
bat 1t would seem that the players
were more versatile in those days or
the standard of play was not as hlgh
as it is today.
The average pitcher nowadays can

to play other positions they naturally
acquired ability aside from pitching and
this made them of more value to their
teams.

do with his being traded is generally con-
coded Chase has not been playing the

BY ]. ED GRILLo.

From this out the real race in the two
major leagues is on Some of the morn
ing glorieS are apt to tumble from this
out and by the time July 4 rolls around
the real contenders will be in evidence.
The Nationals chances depend entirely
on how much longer Griffith will have a
badly crippled team to contend with. IL
Foster. Morgan and Shanks get back in
the lineup within the next ten days,
which is possible. the Nationals should
improve their position at the expense OF
the western teams. The Athletics are
not apt to lose ground. They are still
In front. Sometimes one wonders how.
The pitching staff Is not any to good
right now. although Wyckof is saving
games by exceptional work. The team IS
hitting ~ points below it's strength Thus
in the two rival departments OF the sport
the club is below standard. yet 1t con-
t,nues TO stall off the rush of the Maps
and Nationals
The conclusion TO be drawn is that the
Athletics have a splendid chance to I'M
prove, by coming up to their real strength,
while the Cleveland club should retro
grade The team is probably gong anead
of its real stride. 1t has three or four
men in it's lineup who are hitting
hundred points or more above their
standard and that cannot last.
Joe Gedeon can be used in either the IN
field or outfield by Griffith lie filled
positions in both departments last sea-
son on the coast. and. in fact. showed
his best form in the outfield. 1t was be-
cause of accidents to the regular IN
fielders that Gedeon was given chance
i'm the infield and he gives much promise
there but being able to play the outneid
also makes him a most valuable utility
man.
1t was undoubtedly a fortunate thing for
the American League when Connie Mack
allowed Joe jackson to 20 to Cleveland.
Had the wonderful hitter been retained
by Mack the Athletics would have made
a runaway race of every flag race during
the past three years player OF Jack
sons prowess with the bat, when added
to a team like the Athletics, would make
them absolutely unbeatable, and as re-
suit there would be little interest In the
pennant chase.
