 ed in Gravel Pit.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2S.-The De.
 partment of Justice has asked for a federal investigation into the conduct of the management of the Morning
 side asylum, Oregon, where the insane
 of Alaska are confined. The inves- tigation results from the death of
 Louis Anderson, of Iditarod, who was
 killed by cave-in in a gravel pit,
 where he was working, in company
 with other patients.
 The district attorney took the mat
 ter up with. the department and ask
 ed that the institution be investigat-
 ed. During the inquest witnesses
 testified three insane patients were
 working under a wall forty-fve feet
 high and that q slide had occurred
 earlier in the day. Julius Schaefer, another patient, WAS buried for some
 time, but was released in time to save his life.
 The physician of the asylum stat ed that he had authorized the men to be placed at work as he had found it was greatly to their benefit to be employed in the open air. Evidence showed that the gravel bank where the men were employed inclined out ward and was dangerous. It is pos sible that the management may be prosecuted for manslaughter for working men in a place which was dangerous The patients are regu- larly worked at labor for the benefit of the institution.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2s-Mrs. Elm maline Pankhurst, leader of English militant suffragettes, sailed from here yesterday for France. taking with her drafts for $2o.ooo. the proceeds
 of her three weeks lecture tour in
 America.
 Only few of the American wo- men working for the cause in Amer ica were at the dock to bid the aged English woman farewell, because of the many disagreements between Mrs. Pankhurst and the American committees, as the British militant
 was always asking for greater re- turns than her contract called for, and desired to pass the hat around at each lecture, not for the good of
 the cause, but for herself and in ev- cry case she refused to share with the
 managers of the lecture if collections
 were taken up. Mrs. Pankhurst lectured under con- l tracts which guaranteed her as high as $2,O00 a night and in many in-
 stances the managers lost money, as
 they were unable to fill the halls.

 be Destroyed in Riots.

 It is generally believed that the Huerta reign is about to fall and that the conditions in this city will be something terrible when the strong hand of the dictator is withdrawn. Americans and foreigners who have, up to the present, been unafraid are now sending their families to Vera Cruz and ordered them on to Cuba and America, as it is feared a reign of anarchy will follow the downfall ef Huerta, and that murder, rapine and footing cannot be stopped.
 All valuables of foreigners have been placed in custody of the foreign sonsuls and register of the prop Arty which cannot be stored has been fled, one with the Mexican foreign (Rice and the other with the consul = the country te which the foreign sr belongs.
 It is expected that the damage will ha enormous and that in the end Mex leo will indemnify the losers.
 Americans in this city are bitter at the attitude of the Wilson admins ration in blocking the Huerta re- 4inle from securing funds and also by 3viAg aid to the rebels of the north, vho are unit for recognition and have been enlisted from the bandits aad jail birds and the vicious ele- 4ent and have murdered, raped and stolen to their hearts content. The American business men of this city 6aim that Huerta is the only Mexican strong enough to establish peace in tAe republic and that President Will con should have upheld him instead sf making it impossible for the presi- dent to secure funds to pay the army.

BERLIN, Germany, Nov, 2s,---The reichstag assembled here today and the members of the German parlia- ment will try to find some means of busting the American Standard Oil company, in spite of the fact that the company now owns two-thirds of the visible supply of oil in German oil fields.
 The Standard has driven out all competition by underselling the Ger man trust and German manufacturers have complained tJ the government, claiming that unless relief is soon offered they also will be driven from the oil refining business and that the American trust would have the field to itself.
 The government proposes to oust the Standard Oil company if some way can be found to do so and not violate the treaty rights of the Amer ican concern.
