 eigners in Mexico.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.-lnterna- tional lawyers of this city stated to- day that the action of President Will son in lifting the embargo on arms from the United States to Mexico made the American government re sponsible for the damages which the rebels may do to the property of for eigners and for damages for the death of any foreign citizen in the republic,

ST. BENEDICT LADS
ATTACKED BY GANG
McDermitt and Cavanaugh VIC
tins of Free-fOr=All Fight
After Basketball Game.
STARTED DURING CONTEST

The vicinity around Central High
School yesterday resembled a "Dons
nybrook'' for few brief minutes
after the East Orange Central bas-
ketball game. A crew of "huslSies,"
said to be the Happy Ramblers," dis
embarked from two automobiles att
attacked Frank McDermit and James
Cavanaugh, two members of the st.
Benedicts College basketball team.
The odds were too great, and Cavan-
augh received severe beating. Nc
Dermitt took to flight.
1t is alleged that Cavanaugh and
McDermit became involved in
pickering with a rooter supporting
Central High School. officer Nc
Guries subdued the combatants tenn
porarily, but they were ready to
renew the alteration after the game.
When the object of McDermit and
Cavanaughs wrath appeared he was
reinforced by the occupants of the
two automobiles with disastrous re-
suits.
In regard to the Central High
School East Orange High School bas-
ketball game, S. S. Roper, the father
of Lawrence Roper, the all-scholastic
selection for quarterback this fall, has
submitted letter. Mr. Roper Is
close follower of schoolboy athletics.
and it is his boast that he has not
missed an East Orange contest for
over a decade. The letter follows:
~. P. N:
II must criticise the basketball COM
ments on the Central-East Orange
game as being misdrected and un-
fair. The trouble yesterday on the
Central High School court was not
due to rough playing by either team,
but wholly to a false Interpretation
of the rules by the referee. He pirates
of the spirit of the rules as he calls
it, and then proceeds to call foul at
every slight technical infraction,
slowing up the game, preventing all
speedy play, arousing the resentment
and ire of players and spectators
alike, and implanting the seeds of an
ill-feeling difficult to kill.
THE basis of yesterdays trouble
was distinctly the tactless refereeing
of Moeller We have no such trouble
in East Orange. Our referees,
Hencke, Knapp, Mccall, Grant, etc,
understand better the boy nature.
Technical violations, where no harm
is done or intended. they ignore. They
exercise tact and intelligence, and
games in the Oranges are enjoyed by
players and spectators. East Orange
High School will not soon forget yes
terday's experience, and will work
for the elimination of such referees
as Moeller and his tactless kind. They
are inimical to all good sport. Sim
cerely, S. S. ROPER"
