MEX|CANS. RIOT
 IN L0S ANGELES
Street Orators Urge Mexicans to kil' Policemen, But Latter Quick
 est Witt Guns.

Los Angeles, Nov. 4.-Race riots which are believed to have been in- s,igated by sympa thizers of the Hu- erta government in the hopes of pre- judicing Mexicans against Americans broke out on Sunday and resulted in the death of one Mexican and the ar rest of fifty others.
 The trouble tarted when po- liceman on duty in the Mexican quar- ter attempted to arrest Mexican for some minor offence. Several of his countrymen attempted to frighten the policeman and began shooting in his direction. The policeman return ed the fire and one of the Mexicans tlfopped, having been shot through the head. A hurl jed call to head quarters brought a squad of police which quiuckly quelled the riot. Dur ing Sunday afternoon street orators urged the Mexicans to kill the police, claiming that the members of the force were grafting from foreigners. 4 feature which lends color to the claim that the agitators are deliber- ately trying to cause trouble is the fact that they are new arrivals from southern California.

Senator Jones Believes Alaska Rail- road Bill Will Have Easy Sled
 ding in Both Houses.

Seattle, Nov. 4--Senator Wesley L. Jones is in the city and in an inter- view states that he believes the Alas ka railroad bill will pass at an early date after the opening of the regular session of congress.
 He predicts that the bill will have easy sledding through the House and does not anticipate any strenuous op- position from the Senate, as many of the western members have signified their intention of giving their sup port to the measure. The senator states that the entire country real izes that something must be done to help Alaska develop her resources. The coal is required on the coast and for the Pacific fleet. He does not believe any private capitalists could afford to construct roads to the coal fields unless they were permitted to own the coal lands He does not be- Iieve that is practical and is giving his support to government ownership of both the railroad and mines.
 Senator Jones is opposed to any amendments being attached to the bill which would cause confusion and delay action. He says the bill will have the right of way and he does not want to see anything occur which might cause it to be sidetracked.

WANT CAR TRACKS
INTO FAIR GROUNDS

Leigh r. Page yesterday asked the
board Of supervisors of Henrico coun-
ty to give him and the State Fair as
ISOLATION an opportunity to discuss the
situation regarding the running of
street cars into the fair grounds.
Several days ago the supervisors de-
cided that ii was not good thing
to have the cars run into the grounds,
because, as they stated the Virginia
Railway and Power company wished to
cars out the Boulevard.
to have the cars dump" the people
rather than across the railroad tracks.
They want to accommodate the public,
and have no personal interest in the
matter.
I'VE, personally, do not care whether
the people have to walk over the bridge
or not said Mr.. Page last night.
But as an association, and as body
of men who wish to give the people
who attend the fair all the cont forts
possible, we would like to have the
cars run directly into the grounds.
1t would prove most convenient to
all who attend the fair. And as the
bridge has been most inconvenient
venient heretofore. not only to the
visitors from throughout the State but
the citizens of Richmond and Henrico,
too, 1t seems to us that there is no
reason why the cars should not be
permitted to enter the grounds
The board of seprvisors will hear the
fair officials next Tuesday morning.

that they had burglarized the home of

street Sunday afternoon. They led
the sleuths TO where 1903. the major
portion OF the loot, was buried. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Hebring between $3.50
and $500 in gold and biIh, and a
gold chain were taken when his home
was robbed. Regain promised to hand
over the chain today.
fearful and repentant, the boys
sobbed out the tale OF the robbery,
after Wilkinson had been arrested
while in attendance at the night

been accosted at his home. Wilkin-
son dug up sl02 which he had buried
under his own house, end Regain ex
cavated $107. which he had cashed
in hole beneath the woodshed in
his back yard.
The Wilkinson boy was a particu-
lar friend and favorite of the man
whom he robbed. He Is not a bad
boy naturally, according to the VIC
tim Of the burglaryq and the detec-
tives, but he knew where Mr.. Hebring
kept more than $500 of his savings.
