CALLS GEN. DIAZ
BACK TO MEXICO
President Huerta Summons Right
Hand Man Home-May be
Next Leader.

Mexico City, Sept. 1S.-Instruc-
tions have been sent by President
Huerta to Gen. Felix Diaz, who now
is in Europe, to return to Mexico i'm
mediately. 1t is expected he will
sail within a few daysA
This fact is learned on high au-
thority and it is regarded here as in
dicating that General Huerta intends
to abide by the pact signed at the
American embassy last February to
place no obstacles in the path of
General Diaz in his candidacy for the
presidency. 1t is considered possi-
BILE that General Huerta will throw
his influence TO Diaz, which almost
would insure his election.
The partisans of Diaz have not
ceased to labor in his behalf They
assert they have organized nearly
5000 clubs" throughout the repub-
lie. Up to the present General Diaz
is the only candidate in the field.
The Catholic party, the only big
organization likely to put forward a
candidate, in opposition, held a con-
vention several weeks ago, and ad-
journed without naming one. Lead
ers of that party have called another
convention for Sunday. 1t is no Sc
cret that they favor Huerta, and in
the previous convention they decid-
ed to support the President should be
again become a candidate.
Much comment has been caused by
the selection by Huerta of Eduard
TamariZ, one of the most prominent
among the younger leaders of the
Catholic party, for the portfolio of
public instruction in his cabinet, va
Gated by Jose Maria Lozanzo, who
has been transferred to the depart
ment OF communication and public
works. Tamariz never has held an
important public office, although for
several years he has been identified
closely with political affairs.
1t is learned that bankers who re-
Gently agreed to finance the admins
tration to the extent OF IL, 900, 900 to
100000 pesos have declined to
offer any hope Of assistance dating
beyond the coming elections
General Treyeno, selected by Cen
eral Huerta to head the military
court, has declined the post, giving
as his reason i'll health and his ad-
vanced age.
Such newspapers as commented on
the Presidents message have voiced
ticular significance to any portion.
Federico Gamboa, the foreign min
lister, is regarded as the probable
choice of the Catholic party after
General Huerta for the presidency.
A bill was introduced in the cham
Der Of deputies tonight for the e''
nation of the vice presidency. 1t was
referred to a committee.

DUEL rs FOUGHT
IN AUTOMOBILES
Rival Gangs Clash and Shoot in
Cars Twice in One Day-Shoot-
ing Outcome of Primary

New York, Sept. 17.-Gunmen,
said by the police to be members of
rival gangs, whose activity in the
primary election yesterday led to the
renewal of an old feud, engaged in a
revolver duel while seated in two du-
tomobiles standing in upper Broad
way just as a nearby matinee crowd
swarmed into the street.
The attacking party of seven, af-
ter firing on three men in the other
car half block away and being shot
at in return, attempted to speed away
but were overtaken by traffic patrol
man in taxicab. Three men jumped
from the car and escaped. Four, in
Guiding the chauffeur, were arrested
and locked up, charged with attempt
ed felonious assault and violating the
concealed weapon law. No attempt
was made to capture the members Of
the besieged party. So far as could
be learned none of the gunner were
injured.
According to the police, the shoot
ing was an outcome of the primary
fight in the 18th assembly district be-
tween rivals Of the Democratic lead
ership. They say the four men un-
der arrest are members of the Jack
Sirrocco gang" and that they opened
fire on members of the Hudson
busters" and the "Rose gang"
A search of the captured car re-
vealed under a rug In the tonneau
six packages of typwritten slips, con-
tanning more than 500 names, sup
posedly of voters in the eighth as
sembly district downtown, and the
police are working on the theory that
the men arrested are repeaters, who,
after voting in the lower part of the
city, went up to the 18th assembly
district to work" the primary there
in the same way.
1t became known last night that
the shooting which resulted in the
arrest of the four men early in the
evening was the second of the day.
In mid-afternoon the same two auto
mobiles met on West Sixty-ninth
street and their occupants started to
"shoot up" each other. Three men
are said to have been injured, es-

FOOD FAMINE AS
RESULT OF STRIKE
Mammoth Freight Depots at Liver
pool are CIosed-Trouble Began
as Result of Lockout in Dublin.

London, Sept. 17.-England is
threatened with the most serious
strike OF union labor in its history,
according to union leaders here to-
day. The trouble began with the
lockouts of large numbers of work
ment last week in Dublin in conse-
quence of a strike of transport
workers because of the employment
of non-union laborers. Mumblings of
discomfort have since been heard
throughout the entire labor commu-
nifty of the British Isles, but thus far
eruption have occurred only in
larger cities.
The sympathetic strike of the Liv-
erpool dockers and of railroad work
ers there and at Birmingham has
already crippled the three great trunk
railways serving the midland coun-
tries of England and the Manchester
Ship Canal Co., also is contendin ng
with a strike of dock laborers for
better wages.
At Liverpool seven of the great
freight depots were idle this morning
and others are likely soon to be
closed for want OF traffic.
In Ireland, too, all attempts have
failed to settle the Dublin trouble,
which was the direct cause of the de-
velopments at Liverpool and Briming
ham. The difficulty OF getting provi-
sions into the Irish capital has be-
come so great that IL is believed the
markets there will have to close their
doors.
London has been only indirectly
affected by the strikes on the railroad
systems in the midlands The me-
tropolis is more directly interested in
the threatened strike OF motor omni-
bus drivers because the employers
refuse to allow employers to wear un-
ion badges.
The men held a meeting today and
passed a resolution in favor of a
strike which will tie up all the motor
omnibuses and tube lines in London.
Labor members OF parliament de-
clare that the trouble in Dublin Lon
don and elsewhere has been caused
by the determination OF the employ
ers to challenge the rights of labor
to organize.

HOUSE PUTS ITS 0. K.
ON CURRENCY BILL
Measure Championed by 29S
Members.
EIGHTY-FOUR OPPOSED 1T.
Test Vote on Gold Standard Amend
ment Showed 60 Democrats
Against IL.

Washington, Sept 18.-The ad-
mln1stration currency bill was passed
by the house today by a vote of 2S3
to "a practically unamended i'm its
essential provisions.
Some house Democrats were in
clined to look with disfayor on an
amendment incorporated in the
measure last night at the suggestion
OF the banking committee. The
amendment, proposed by Representa-
tive Foss, Republican, Of Ohio, in
cluded a statement that none of it's
provisions was calculated to repeal
the law of 1900, prescribing the gold
money standard, or to disturb the
parity of money.
GLASS QUELLS FEARS.
Chairman Glass, however. declared
that the amendment only made clear
the meaning of the bill as originally
framed. A few minor amendments,
changing phraseology or designed to
make clear possible antiquities in
the bill were the only changes made
In the consideration of hundreds of
amendments offered by Republicans
and Progressives.
Passed by the house, the bill will
go to the senate where a lengthy
consideration before the banking
committee awaits it.
1t probably will be some weeks be-
fore the measure is reported to the
senate where further debate is eX-
pected to delay final passage.
William II. Berry of Philadelphia
urged the senate banking committee
today not to empower the proposed
federal reserve banking board to fix
an arbitrary discount rate in the ad-
ministration currency bill. Such a
provision of law, he said, would give
financial cliques practical control of
the money market. Discount rates
should be regulated solely by bust
ness conditions, he said.
"There must be actual competition
on both sides Of the bank counter" ,"
said Mr.. Berry.
VOTE ON AMENDMENT.
Representative Wingo of Arkansas
demanded a record vote on the So
called gold standard amendment and
on division, 165 Democrats and Re
publicans voted for it and As Demo
Gratis voted against it. A roll call
was ordered.
The record vote on the so-called
gold standard amendment was 29S
to SO. All those voting against it
were Democrats.
