the man, was shot four times, but

Stefunsk had called at the office

Egloff saw he had crank to deal
with and tried to parley with him.
officer Lang overheard the demand
and walked toward the two men. The
sight of the uniform apparently
alarmed Stefunski, who stepped back
and drew revolver, yelling at the
same time: I'll get that hundred OF

Lang closed in on Stefunski. but
was unable to pinion his right hand
in which the infatuated man held tie
revolver. Stefunski fred five shots

his neck and shoulder, and the fifth
at Egloff, which went wild.
Weakened by his wounds, Lang
easily was shaken off by Stefunski
who rushed to the other side of the
room and began to reload his revolver.
He had difficulty in getting out the
empty shells and this probably saved
further bloodshed. Lang staggered
out into the hallway.

springs are wonderful and extreme

more beautiful were the surround

Diplomatic relations are practically

statement made officially by the Mex
lean government last night.
Charge d'Affaires 'Shaughnessy
IS at the end of his rope. He can
approach no member of the cabinet

Aldape was the only one who showed
cordiality towards 'Shaughnessy

As a result O'Shaughnessy is per-
esona non grata with the Mexican
government. O'Shaughnessy' pri-
vate property is all packed and he is
ready to leave at a moments notice.
Friends of Aldape declare that he
will be lucky if he gets away from
Mexico alive. 1t is charged that at
|tempts were made to assassinate
him as he was entering his private
car for Vera Cruz last nigh. Aldape
said that he was forced out of the
cabinet because he urged Huerta to
resign. There are rumors of further
changes in the cabinet.
