While Victim Sits With Back
Turned, Gang Pour Shots
Into Him

NEW y DIRK, Aug. 5.-"If | get out
of this. can count a lot OF new
graves in the cemetery" was the com.
ment of William Lustig early today,
as he lay seriously wounded in
"Humpty" Jackson's restaurant, fol.
lowing a gang shooting, the details of
which closely resembled those mark
ing the killing of Herman Rosenthal.
AT the Bellevue hospital it was stated
that although Lustig's wounds were
serious he would probably recover.
Lustig is a brC her of one OF the
detectives attached to the office OF
District Attorney Whitman. He is
said TO have gained the enmity OF
Jackson and 'gangsters" because of
being suspected Of giving information
to the authorities.
1t was after midnight when Lustig
was seen on Third-ave with a young
woman. headed toward Jackson 8
place. Arriving there, Lustig hesitat-
ed before entering, but the young wo-
man took him by the arm and they
took a table near the door. Against
his protests the young woman sat fac
ing the door, according TO the story
learned by the police. Then she ex-
cused herself. A big black touring
car rolled up in front of the res
taurant. four men jumped out and
while Lustig sat with his bacg to the
door the men directed the fire from
their revolvers upon him. Lustig fell
with three bullet wounds in his body.
The four men dropped their weapons
on the sidewalk, jumped into the auto
mobile, and. as the motor had been
kept running, dashed off before a
policeman. half a block away could
make move The young woman had
disappeared from the restaurant in
the meantime and no trace was found
Of her. The police believe the shoot
ing was planned some time ago and
declare they have enough informa-
ton To lead them 10 believe that mem
bers of the "Dopey Benny" gang are
responsible.

OF ARMS ALSO DESIRED
RumOr That President and
Bryan'S Counsellor Have BrOk-
EN-, lis Persistent

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5-Pending
receipt Of a report from his special
representative, former Governor John
Lind, OF Minnesota, now enroute 10
Mexico City, President Wilson will
take no further steps in the Mexican
situation. AS the accredited agent OF
the president, Lind will make a first
hand study OF Mexican conditions. He
viii report TO the president just what
he finds. He will aid the influential
MeXlcans who are trying to bring
about peace. And il he Is convinced
that their efforts will not succeed
then he will acquaint President Will
son of that fact and the latter will
authorize Lind to offer the method of
mediation on which, the president and
secretary of State Bryan have agreed.
Administration officials were very
hopeful today that peace was near in
Mexico. They believe Lind is the
man who can best reconcile the ap-
parently irreconciliable differences
between the Mexican factions. He is
authorized TO speak plainly TO the
most influential Mexicans and to en-
deavor to get them 10 force conces-
sions from the administration and its
opponents.
Another matter TO be Investigated
by Lind is whether the prohibition OF
importation or arms from this side
OF the border to both sides would
help The president has been inclined
10 oppose this because the Huerta
government could easily get all Of the
arms 1t wanted in Germany. But IL
has been pointed out to him that
these arms would have to be landed
at Vera Cruz and that the railroad be-
tween that city and Mexico City is
infested with rebels so that the prob
lem of getting them to headquarters
would be somewhat OF a task. So the
proposition OF cutting off the entire
supply or its alternative, letting both
sides get all they can buy, is to be
investigated
There was much discussion today
or tho report that President Wilson
and John Bassett Moore. counsellor of
the state department. are at odds on
the Mexican question. Moore is said
TO favor recognition OF Huerta as the
strongest factor in Mexican affairs
and then holding him responsible for
the absolute pacifcation OF the coun-
tontinu~d ON page Eight.

The mayors latest street can com
munication to the common council
follows:
To the Honorable the Common
Council:
Hon. Max Koch. city treasurer
has prepared statement showing
taxes in which the Detroit United
railway is delinquent The report
reveals that the company owes
the city $439,734 in taxes, which
run from 1910 up to July of this
year. In addition, there is due
the city for the operation of
freight cars entering and leaving
the city. the sum of $l0,6S5. max
ing the total amount in which the
company is in arrears. approx
mately half-million dollars.
In my judgment, the company
has been permitted to defy the
city long enough in this respect.
| see no reason why the property
of a workingman should be attach
ed when he becomes delinquent in
his taxes and a wealthy corpora
tion which defies our laws and Off
cials permitted to go unmolested.
Only yesterday. the company
protested because it understood
that IL was not TO receive police
protection. Yet II braZenly refuses
TO pay its just taxes towards the
support OF the police and other
city departments. recommend,
therefore. that your honorable
body instruct the city treasurer
to Immediately attach available
property of the street railway
company, in collection of the de-
lnquent taxes. II requires no ar
gument. | believe. TO convince you
of the justice OF this suggestion.
II smaller taxpayers are 10 be pun
ished by seizure of their property,
why should we not treat similarly
this company, which has permit
ted its taxes 10 accumulate for Il
period Of more than three years?

CALUMET, Mich, Aug. 5.-Presi.
dent Claude o. Taylor, OF the Michi.
gan Federation OF Labor has given
up all hope of a settlement by arbi-
tration of the differffences between
copper mine operators and the West
ern Federation of Miners. The strike
will remain entirely in the hands of
the Western federation" declared
Taylor last night. 1T resolves itself
simply into a question of endurance.
Possibilities for trouble in the cop
per country have been materially in
creased, according TO citizens we'll in
touch with the situation, by the i'm
portation of armed strike breakers
by the mine operators. So far these
strike breakers have all been depu-
tized by Sheriff Cruise, and provided
with revolvers.
The deputies are much disliked by
the state troops. who blame them for
the bulk OF the promiscuous shoot
Ing which takes place about the out
posts every night. Last night the
shooting broke out again and militia
men declare that fully two-thirds of
the firing was done by the special
deputies. Gen. Abbey has issued or
ders that the troops take cognizance
OF tn euse of firearms by miners dep
uties as well as by strikers This or
der, II is feared, may lead to a clash
OF authority between the military and
the officers of the law.
Officials OF the Michipan Federation
of Labor will petition Gov. Ferris for
the withdrawal of the troops. main
tanning that no conditions exist which
cannot be handled by the civil au-
thorities. Moreover. they will repre-
sent that more trouble Is likely TO
arise from the employment of the
imported miners deputies than from
any other agency.
Lieut.. Blazer, OF Co. @. Detroit. was
given permission to return to his
home last night, because OF pressing
business duties.
The statements Of the mine oper-
ators that only a small portion of
their employees favor the union, were
not borne out yesterday when a call
was issued for workmen at the Baltic
and TrtMountain group OF mines.
One lone pumpman responded. In
Calumet, where meeting of those
he'd to return to work had
been called. union official entered
and called upon all those who pro.
posed to stand by the union to leave
the hall. More than twothirds of the
men present responded.
