SONORA'S GOVERNOR
APPEALS TO WILSON
says Must Have Means if the I.ivee
and Property of Americans
Are to be Protected.

DOUGLAS, Arizona, July 24.-Gov-
ernor Pesquera of Sonora. commander
OF the constitutionalist insurgents in
northwestern Mexico today appealed to
Washington, asserting that the forces
under his charge could not protect
americans unless afforded the means.
In message to Pedro Romero. the
constltutionalists representative. the
lhsurgent governor said: '.T prav Won
to call the attention of President Will
son to the fact that unless the consti-
tutlonallsts are allowed to bring in
ammunition and arms they will be
unable to maintain order and protect
lves and the property of foreigners
~ every section where foreigners are
threatened. Investigation shows that
the federal troops and svmpatbizers
are at fault. We are more than will
ling to guarantee protection if afforded
the means''

CHINESE REBELS
ATTACK ARSENAL
Southerns Reported to Have Been Re
pulsed with 600 Killed-Japanese
in the Ranks.

SHANGHAI, July 24-Southern
rebels, reported to number 10000
strong, attacked Kiang-Nan Arsenal
at } O'Clock Wednesday morning. The
defenders, not exceeding 1000 were
strongly entrenched, and, assisted by
the navy, repelled three separate at
tacks. The fighting lasted until 7.30
o clock. According to the estimates
600 rebels were killed.
Another attack was also repulsed
this morning, the southerners being un-
able to gain any ground.
Some reports say that only 5000
southerners were engaged in the at
tacks, but their casualties largely ex-
eeed the original estimate. MANY of
the killed were civilians The attacks
We're delivered from three sides. The
thick vegetation and insufficiency of
men prevented the garrison from at
tempting a sortie and enabled the reb-
els to fall back to their camps and
reorganize their forces.
Reports are current that Japanese
were fighting in the southern ranks.
Foreign volunteers were called out to
guard the settlement. 4 few shells
burst in the French concession, and
several Cinnamon were injured, but no
foreigners.

Flames - Demonstration by
1000 Prisoners.

OSSINING, N. Y, July "a, - An
other fire in the Sing Sing prison to-
day gave the mutinous convicts a
chance for more demonstrations. The
blaze started in the clothing shop, and
was extinguished by the prison fire
brigade. When the fire broke out every
precautlon was taken to guard againsc
the escape of the convicts. While the

their cells raised a chorus of wells.
sounding high above the noise of the
alarm Warden Clancy attributed the
disturbances to the recent order to
transfer some of them to the Auburn

ers come from New York and object
to being sent up state, where it is diff
hcult for their friends to see them.

Schooner Gardiner c. Derring
Badly Damaged.

BOSTON, July "a - The Holland
American Line freighter Stolterdyk re-
turned to this port late last night bad
ly damaged by collision with an I'M
known four-masted schooner off Nan
tucket in a fog late last night.
When they learned that nothing
had been heard from the schooner
some of those ON the freighter ex-
pressed fear that she had gone down
with all on board. Captain Metz of
the Sloterdyk refused to discuss the
matter
The Sloterdyk, which sailed from
Boston for Philadelphia and Rotter-
dam, had a great hole torn in her port
side amidships 30 feet high, from the
lower part of the chief engineer 5 cabin
to within a few feet of the water line
and II feet wide at its greatest point.
There was some danger of the steamer
filling in a heavy sea, but her race
back to this port was accomplished
without other damage and without loss
of life.
The schooner disappeared in the fog.
and although the Sloterdyk cruised in
the vicinity for FIVE hours-from mid
night until dawn-she was unable to
secure any trace of the vessel.

VISIT OF FORMER RECTOR.
Rev. e. T. Matheson in Town Last
Night-Going to Shattuck School.

Rev. E. 7. Matheson, formerly rec
tor of St. Michael's Episcopal church
OF Brattleboro and recently rector of
an Episcopal church at Hyde Park,
ILL.,, who has resigned that position to
become rector of the Shattuck
school at Faribault, Mimi, was
at the Brooks House last night
and visited the Masonic temple, where
he renewed many acquaintances of the
days when he was a resident of Brat
tleboro and active in local Masonic
circles. He was high priest of Royal
Arch chapter and prelate of Beauseant
commandery, X. T., during a part of
his residence in Brattleboro Mr.
Matheson s family are spending their
summer vacation on the Connecticut
coast as they have done for years and
he was on his way there to join them.
Mr.. Matheson some time ago was
asked to go to the Shattuck school at
Faribault, large Episcopal and mill
tary institution where it is expected
that he will eventually succeed the
present rector, Rev. James Dobbin. who
is aged and desirous of retiring from
the active duties of the management
of the school. Mr.. Matheson s posi-
tion pays a salary of $4,000 annually
with rent, light heat and other per
quisites amounting to some $4,000 more.

at Washington had protested to the
state department that inasmuch as the
Huerta government had not been
recognized it ought not to obtain arms
There is, nevertheless, a firm feeling in
Congress in favor of lifting the en-
barge on arms and giving both sides
an equal opportunity to equip them
selves. This sentiment finds favor
especially among those who believe
that the Carranza rebels have public
opinion behind them in Mexico and if
given the arms, the revolution would
end speedily in their favor.
For the present, however, the admin
istraton will issue orders to its agents
everywhere to keep arms from enter
ing the rebellion-torn country. This
will interfere materially with the plans
of the Huerta forces, since orders for
large supplies of arms and ammunition
are said to have been placed with firms
in the United States recently. Al
though the constitutionalists hold no
seaports of consequence, they have
demorallized the railroad systems and
it would be difficult for the federals to
get munitions transported in the in
terror after importing them from Eu-
rope.

Neither Faction in Mexico to
Obtain War Supplies
from u. S.
ACTION LOOKS LIKE
A BLOW TO HUERTA
De Facto Government Stands the
Same as the Rebels with the Ad-
ministration-Prov President
Said TO Have Recently Ordered Arms.

WASHINGTON, July 24.-President
Wilson has determined that no faction
IN the present Mexican revolution shall
obtain arms or ammunition from the
United States and that neutrality
must be observed in the strictest
sense. This was the Interpretation Of
the neutrality laws decided upon bv
the President at Washington Yesterday
after conferences with Senator Bacon
and Representative Flood, chairman of
the two congressional committees on
foreign relations. While the Mexican
rebels have been getting no arms here
tofore, developments yesterday mean
that the Huerta government will be
deprived of the privilege previously
accorded the Madero government and
that the United States will treat all
sides alike in the present dispute.
The situation was precipitated by
the repeated complaints of the consti-
tutionalists and their sympathizers i'm
this country that if the United States
did not virtually assist the Huerta
government by selling it munitions of
war. termination of hostilities would
be possible Sentiment in favor of
new policy grew in Congress to such
an extent that a canvass was made
yesterday of the foregn relations com
mittees in both houses. 1t was found
that there would be little objection
to repeating the joint resolution of
March IL, 1912, giving the president
discretionary power to prohibit the ex-
portation of arms or munitions of war
to countries where domestic violence
existed, but permitting him to allow
the legally constituted government of
any country to buy war supplies as us
ual Senator Bacon, however, reiter-
ated that the Huerta administration
could not be considered a legitimate
successor of the Madero regime or
legally constituted government.

Protest Against Increasing
Size of Packages and
Reducing Rates
RAILROADS WOULD
LOSE $2O,OOO,OOO
Every Year, According to Claims Pre-
sented in Washington Yesterday
Resolution in Senate to Repeal Law
Under Which Burleson Acted.

WASHINGTON, July 24.-Railway
representatives yesterday Joined in the
fight to prevent Postmaster General
Burleson from Increasing the size of
parcel post packages transmissable
through the mails and reducing the
rates, to become effective Aug. l6. A
delegation representing the railroads
throughout the country laid their com
plant before senators and representa-
tives and prepared to protest formally
against the changes, to the interstate
commerce commission.
The movement in the Senate itself
to forestall the department changes, bv
repeating the section of the parcel post
law under which the postmaster gen
eral claims the right to regulate rates
and sizes, further crvstalized when
Senator Bryan of Florida introduced a
Joint resolution to repeal the legisla-
tlon IN question. Another development
was the poStponement of the explana-
tlon demanded by the Senate post of
flee committee of Postmaster General
Burleson of his authority to inaugurate
the changes, from tomorrow until Fri
day.
In protesting against the changes the
railway representatives said that at
present the roads received 30 per cent
of the pay collected by express com
panies for the carriage of packages, and
complained that they would lose from
$4,000, 900 to $4,000, 900 a wear on
business the government would take
over through the reduced rates and
increased maximum limit on the size
of packages. 1t also was explained
that the roads would receive no com
pensation from the government for car
rying of the very business for which
the express companies had paid them
millions. The delegation suggested
that the matter would be carried to the
courts, if necessary.
Several inquiries were made during
the day of the interstate commerce
commission as to its part in the pro
posed changes. The law requires the
commission to give its consent after
investigation to proposed changes by
the postmaster general. Officials gave
out the information that an investiga-
ton of rates and sizes had not been
held in the sense that public hearing
had been granted, but that the com
mission s consent had been given to
the postmaster general.

pened to escape death.
The bolt traversed five miles of the
telephone wire, snufiing out IL tele-
phones and at the Baptist parsonage
melted the water pipe in the cellar. At
the round scho0ihouse it melted the
telephone wire. Ia entering the house
.of G. p. Stickney it DESTROYED the
utility of the wire and made a complete
wreck OF the telephone, terrorizing the
lahniIy. Horses standing in a nearby
stable jumped from the floor.
Mr.. Stickney, sitting in his arm
char IN the dining room, was struck
unconscious, but recovered. The bolt
tore open the shirt sleeve ON the left
arm, opened the left trousers leo in
several places and ripped the top of
the left shoe. The bolt made a blistering
burn IN several places on the left arm
and passed to the left side of the BODY.
