DOUBT EXPLANATION
OF SHOOTING AFFAIR
Police Investigate WOunding
of Peter Rife by John Nor
man Late Saturday Night
on North Fourth.

Chief Goodwin is today investigating
the shooting of Peter Rife, 30O12 Rich
mond avenue, at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. John Norman, 112 North Fourth
street, about midnight Saturday night.
Rife was shot in the right leg, above
the knee, by Norman, but the Nor
mans and Rife all insist that the
shooting was accidental. The case is
peculiar one, and apparently the po-
lice are not satisfied with the explain
alton offered.
Rife was removed to his boarding
house shortly after the shooting. His
wound is not considered a serious one
Sunday when Chief Goodwin called
to see the man, he found Mrs. Nor
man at his bedside tanning him. Mrs.
the river afetr the shooting.
Rifes account of the shooting, which
is substantiated by both Mr.. and Mrs.
Norman, is that when he called at the
Norman home Saturday night he saw
the revolver on mantle and picked it
up. He pulled the trigger twice on
two empty chambers, he says, and
Norman then took the gun away from
him. saying it was partly loaded. Lat
er, Rife says, Norman took the gun
from the mantle and when pulling the
trigger back his thumb slipped, dis
charging the revolver and wounding
Rife.
The police say that there have been
a number of complaints lately against
the Normans, and their house has been
under strict surveillance, but no evil
dence has ever been secured which
would warrant arrests being made.
Mr.. and Mrs. Norman and Rife say
the shooting occurred in one of the
rooms of the house, but neighbors who
heard the shot say that it sounded as
though it had been fired in the rear
of the house.
Chief Goodwin will not say whether
an arrest will be made in the case un-
til he has completed his investigation
of the shooting. Rife was recently ar
rested on a misdemeanor charge.

MEXICO CITY, May 4-While Pres
ident Huerta is ostensibly meeting
with favor the efforts of the A. B. c..
mediators to effect peace in Mexico,
he is actively preparing for war. Dur
ing the last two days he has been in
almost constant conference with gen.
erals of the Mexican army.
Huerta today summoned General
Gonzales Luque here from Cordoba
and General Joaquin Jiminez Castro
and General Pradillo from Jalapa.
They were instructed to bring the
complete reports as to the number of
their men and their available muni-
tions of war. The calling of the COM
manders to the capital indicates that
Huerta is preparing to put up stub
born defense of Mexico City in case
of attack.
The president has refused to accept
the resignation of Esteva Ruiz, sub
secretary of foreign relations. and that
official is still fulfilling the duties of
the post left vacant by the resignation
of Portillo Y. Rojas, minister of for
eign relations. No intimation has yet
been made that Portillo's place will
be filled.
Alcoeer for President.
Senior Alcocer, minister of the inter-
ior, is in line for the provisional pres
idency in case Huerta is overthrown
or forced to resign, but there is no in
dication at present that he intends to
step out. BY orders of the president
many changes have been made in the
personnel of the war department and
General Banquet has been stripped of
his influence in great measure.

TWO VICIOUS THUGS
ATTACK PATR0LMAN
Elmer Stephenson Breaks
Mace on One Assailant-
Both Escape.

But for the skilful use of his mace
and his fist Patrolman Elmer Stephen
son, a recent addition to the force,
would probably have been badly in
jured late Saturday night as result
of an attack made on him by two un-
known men in the railroad yards In
the rear of the North D street Penn
sylvania freight station. Notwithstand-
ing the fact that he broke his mace
on one mans head and knocked the
other one down with left-handed
blow, both men managed to escape be-
cause they succeeded in getting Ste
phenson on his back before he repuls-
ed their attack. After the men fled
Stephenson jumped to his feet and
shot at them two or three times, but
without success.
while in Fairview Saturday night,
some one told me that man, badly
hurt, had been found on Gobbler's
Knob" said Stephenson. 81 went these
and found Herman Radabaugh. He
told me his thigh had been broken by
two men who had robbed him in
freight car and then thrown him of.
l called the police machine, and took
the man to police headquarters, where
it was found that his thigh was only
sprained, and that he had been drink
ing. On returning to my beat l saw
drunk in the North d street railroad
yards, and l ordered him to 60 home.
Just then l noticed two suspicious
characters and l started to question
them. Without warning both attacked
me. knocked one down with my mace,
breaking it, but the other fellow got
me on my back. smashed him with
my left fist, and both started to run.
| shot at them but missed"
The police think they will be able to
apprehend both of Stephenson's as
sailants.

rama. The Constitutionalist chiefs
refusal of an armistice, however. is
viewed here as an insurmountable bar
rier to an agreement between the two
Mexican leaders.
Whether a plan of adjustment. even
between Huerta and the United
States, can be reached is regarded as
an open question. The delegates to
be named by the three parties, how
ever, are expected to be of assistance
to the mediators in reaching a work
ing basis for negotiations.
No Mediation Possible.
Close associates of Carranza, who
have come to Washington, assert that
no mediation between him and Huerta
is possible and that any move on the
part Of the mediators to include in
their program a scheme for the gen.
eral adjustment of affairs in Mexico
will be regarded by the Constitution
labors of the mediators.
1t became known today that Senior
Zubarron. special commissioner from
General Carranza, who is in Washing
ton. is not expected to present creden-
tials from the Constitutionalists chief
to the South American mediators. 1t
was asserted that Zubarron holds no
brief to represent Carranza in media
tion negotiations. In fact, it was
pointed out the Constitutionalist offic-
ial left Mexico before there was any
talk of mediation and in the midst of
the landing of the American forces
at Vera Cruz. His mission here is
said to have been merely to convey
verbally to the United States govern
ment Carranza's protest against the
landing of American forces at Vera
Cruz.

WORRY ABOUT STRIKE MAKES
COLORADO: GOVERNOR SICK.

1t is understood that neglect of duty
as an official in permitting the slay-
ing of women and children at the Lud-
low tent colony and various other acts
in connection with the strike of min
ers would be the basis of the charges.
Both sides conceded that the big
fight would be on the selection of
speaker. Supporters of Governor Am
mons hoped to be able to elect an anti
labor man to the office. Although this
would not prevent the introduction of
an Impeachment resolution, it would
give the governors friends better op-
portunity to block the proceedings.
The situation in the mining districts
throughout the state remained quiet
today.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. May 4.-The
hostile attitude of the Mexicans near
the American outposts at Vera Cruz
and the report from General Funston
that about 10000 of Huerta's forces
are menacing the United States
troops lines caused much concern in
administration circles today and cast
shadow over the prospects for early
peace.
War" conferences were held be-
tween Secretary of War Garrison
Chief of Staff w. w. Wotherspoon and
other high officials on the Vera Cruz
situation. The secretary stated that
no new orders had been issued for the
army of occupation, but admitted that
the conferences concerned the reports
on conditions about Vera Cruz.
Despite the over-Sunday develop
ments as a probable setback to their
plans and the refusal of General Car
rama to agree to an armiStice, the me-
diators went on with their work today.
