FELIX DIAz ARRESTED.
ACCUSED OF MAKING ATTACK ON
YOUNG MEXICAN.
Diaz Denies knowing Anything OF
Shooting. While Guerrero Claims
That He Was Shot by Mexican Rev
OlutiOnist.

Habana, Nov. 7.-Gen. Felix Diaz
was arrested here today and accused
of shooting Pedro Guerrero, the young
Mexican wounded by bullet during
last nights alteration, in the course
Of which Diaz was wounded slightly.
Gen. Diaz is said 10 have handed
the revolver to one of his companions
after he had shot Guerrero and Sc
riOusly wounded him. Guerrero was
the man who had stabbed Diaz with
a knife. His condition is serious.
Gen. Diaz looked downhearted
when interviewed in prison by the AS
sociated Press today. He showed two
slight stab wounds in his neck, Just
behind the ear, as the result of his en-
counter last night. He siad that he
suffered no pain, but had spent the
forenoon resting. The court will not
decide until next week as to whether
he shall be placed on trial or released.
Describing the attack on him last
night Diaz said:
"I was sitting in Malecon park lis
tening to the concert with friends.
Suddenly was struck by an unknown
party. 1 defended myself with an um =.
brella. During the scrimmage ONE

ground and a policeman took him to
hospital.
Il was taken before a Judge at 4.30
o'clock this morning and was placed
under provisional arrest. know
nothing further Of the incident, but
I believe the attack on me was pre-
meditated.
II have nothing to say with regard
to my future plans. was waiting here
for Mexican developments and now
will be compelled to stay until this
case has been cleared up. Several
friends called at the prison this morn
ing and offered to testify that 1 am in
nocent of the shooting Of Guerrero"
Many contradictory versions Of last
nights incidenC are current. 1t Is
| not known exactly how the affray
started. Some say Gen. Diaz pro-
voked followers Of Gen. Carranza, the
Mexican rebel leader, while others de-
clared that Diaz was suddenly at
tackled by his enemies.
Julio Ortez Casanova a Cuban
lawyer, said today he would petition
the court for the indictment Of Gen.
Diaz for attempted manslaughter,
adding that several Mexican and four
Cuban witnesses would testify that
they saw Diaz and his friends attack
Guerrero.
Guerrero accuses Diaz of being the
assailant. He is young newspaper
man and strong adherent of Gen.
Carranza. He was shot in the back,
the bullet penetrating the abdomen.
He was operated on this afternoon.
Several Habana newspapers recently
published the statement that the Mex
lean charge de'affaires, Domingo Ma
jera, had accused the Cuban police
of favOring friends Of Gen. Cara lza.
Senor Najera this morning called
at the Cuban state department and
denied having made such state.

STREET RAILWAY STRIKEPC TT,
RESUME WORK WITHIN
TWELVE HOURS.
Traction Company Will not Recognize
Union of Its Employees, but All
Disputes Between Employers and
Employees Will be Settled by Pub
lie Utilities Commission.

indianapolis, Nov. 1.-THE strike of
the employees Of the indianapolis Trac-
ton and Terminal company was set
tied late today Though the efforts OF
Gov. Samuel NJ. Ralston. The en-
ployes won their demand for arbitra-
ton but nothing is said about recog-
milton Of union or terms of settle.
ment.
Street car service is to be resumed
within u hours, according to the
terms Of the settlement, which also
provides against any further inter
ference with the operation of cars.
All the men who were in the en-
ploy Of the Company Friday night,
October 81, when the strike was call
ed, and all employees who had been
discharged on account of joining tho
union, are OF be reinstated by the
company with full seniority right and
without prejudice.
The company, however, is not COM
PEELED to reinstate men who engaged
in violence during the strike, put
those to whom reinstatement is re-
fused may appeal to the State public
utilities commission.
Disputes and grievances as to wages,
hours, conditions and service will be
referred to the utilities commission for
arbitration if the company and EN-
plOyes fail within 10 days to reach a
mutual agreement. The company
must take up these gric"anccs with
employees within five days afer IN"
. resumption Of service. The utilities
commission BY the terms &C so:t. t.amcnt
must render a decision which for three
years shall be binding on all parties
interested and shall date to the re-
sumption of work within so days from
the date Of the first hearing.
In addition to union and traction
company officers the agreement was
signed by Ethlebert Stewart, repre-
senting the federal government, and
Gov. Ralston for the State.
The settlement OF the strike means
that the 1000 members of the indiana
National Guard who were called tC
Indianapolis yesterday by the governor
for strike duty will be dispatched t.
their homes as soon as possible.
The strike began a week ago to-
night and has resulted in four deaths
and injuries to 100 or more persons
including several police officers. Un-
til yesterday, when the city quieted
down. the down town streets have
been the scenes Of almost continuous
rioting and much damage has been
done to street railway property.
Union officials declare that, while
disappointed in not obtaining recog
milton Of the union, they obtained their
main contention, arbitration of all dis
putes betwee employees and the com.
pany. The railway company assert;
it won in it's fight not to recognize the
union.
Credit for settlement Of the strike
is given to Gov. Ralston who has bee,
untiring in his efforts to bring the
company and it's employees together.

ADMINISTRATION
VIEWS.
OGOrman and Reed Go Back 90 Side

ing Division Six to Six, Hitchcock
Supporting Republicans.

Washington, Nov. IA shift in the
lineup on the currency bill today
strengthened the position of the ad-
ministration forces, but left the SEN
ate committee in a temporary dead
lock. Senators Reed and O'Gorman,
who have been opposing administra-
ton proposals in the committee. re-
joined the Democrats and the commit
tee voted to reconsider the decision
which cut down from p to four the
number of regional banks in the pro-
posed new system.
Senator Crawford (Republican)
voted with the Democrats to recon-
slider but discussion, which at times
waxed warm and which lasted~all af-
ternoon, failed to force a vote on a
proposition to fix the number of banks
at seven. Senator Crawford said he
had voted to reconsider solely as
matter Of courtesy. He made it clear
ton to increase the number.
Senator Hitchcock made it plain
that he would not swing into line with
the other Democrats land with a six
to six tie in prospect the admin
istration forces avoided a vote. They
succeeded, however, in obtaining a
vote on the amendment retaining the
secretary Of the treasury on the pro-
posed supervisory board.
The committee voted down a pro.
posal to force a double liability SINH
lar to that of present national bank
stockholders on the stock of the pro-
posed regional banks.
The section Of the present bill
| which would force ali national banks
into the system under penalty Of los
ing their charters within a year was
changed.
National banks under the amend
ment would be required to signify
their intention of entering the system
within GO days. Banks which at pres
ent are reserve agents. and others
which fail to enter the new system
within 80 days, would forfeit their
reserve agencies. A.
With the committee hard at work
on the fundamentals of the bill the
movemeN for a caucus of Democrats
today gained momentum. A petition
was circulated calling for a confer
ence on the currency question general
ly. No details were included in the
call. 1t was understood that the real
subject of the caucus and it's scope i'm
relation to the work of the committee
would be decided after it met.
Administration senator's, including
Senator Owen, declared they had
taken no part in starting the call for
conference and that the administra-
tion was not behind the call.
Senator Kern, chairman of the
Democratic caucus, to whom the call
is directed, left Washington today. He
will not return until Monday and the
call then will be presented to him.
Talk of rather bitter feeling among
| committee members and reported
heated outbursts during the sessions
cropped up today. 1t was asserted one
member of the committee on the Dem
ocratic side had threatened 70 leave
the committee room and refuse to par
ticipate in the deliberations after
Chairman Owen had made a speech
urging support of administration pro.
posals.
