PiCKETING CONTINUED
Continued from Page One)

Dealing particularly with the death
of the two women and IL children, the
report sets forth:
1T was supposed by the officers aft
er a thorough search of the colony,
that all OF the remaining women and
children had been taken out The
events proved that one of the pits had
been missed in the search. In this pit
were discovered two women and IL
children, all dead"
The manner in which the tent colo
ny was destroyed is explained as fol-
lows: I'VE find that the tents were
not all of them destroyed by acct
dental fire. Men and soldiers swarm
ed into the colony and deliberately
spread the fire from tent to tent. This
was accompanied by the usual loot
ing. Cans of oil were poured upon the
tents and lit with matches" Concern
ing the death of Private Martin and
the subsequent mutilation of his body,
the reports sums up the incident by
saying:
1T is shocking to think of our Colo
RADIO youths, defending their state, ex-
posed to practices of savagery I'M
heard of save in the helf-b believed
tales of the Sicilian Camorra.
THE discovery of Martins body.
thus mutilated, we find to have had
the effect of exciting his comrades to
a frenzy, which. may account for
seine things that took place later near
the tent colony. The report declares
that the Greeks of the colony had
planned to attack the soldiers and de-
stroy the mine property on the pre-
ceding Sunday but that drunkenness
on the part of the strikers prevented.
Monday morning, says the report,
Lewis Tikas was asked for the release
of a non union miner thought to have
been hidden in the colony. Tikas was
the Greek leader who was killed in
the battle The request was refused
and Major Hammock, believing force
might be necessary, ordered the de-
tachrent of militia from Cedar Hall
to Water Tank hill. about which most
of the fighting took place. This mo-
bilization, says the report, was con-
strued by the strikers as preparation
fer an attack on the colony.

To Americans
To Go from
Mexico City

Mexico City, May 3.-Another warn
ing was received today by the Bra
lillian minister from Consul William
w. Canada at Vera Cruz, who ad-
vised the remaining Americans in the
Federal capital TO leave without de-
lay. In referring to this the Brazilian
minister said to The Associated Press:
"I met General Huerta casually this
morning and received from him re-
peated assurances that both he per-
sonally and his ministers would do
everything that I asked to secure the
safety and comfort of the Americans
remaining in this country.
when I referred to the request I
had made this morning TO the depart
ment of foreign relations for a spe-
cial train for Americans desiring to
leave the Federal capital, General
Huerta at once gave orders for the
necessary arrangements to be made
and the train will leave this CITY for
coatzacoalcos at o'clock tomorrow
evening. General Huerta assured me
in particular that the train would car
ny the requisite number Of sleeping
cars for the women and children of
the party and would run under the
protection of the Brazilian flag and
with an adequate military escort to
guard the passengers.
The Brazilian consul and vice con-

MEX|CANS MINING inlet
TO TAMP|CO TO PREVENT
ENTRANCE OF U. s. SHIPS

Washington, May 3.-Reports to the
navy department from Rear Admiral
Mayo indicate that the Mexican Fed
eral forces have mined the Panuco
river, the inlet to the city of Tampico
from the Gulf of Mexico.
The river is navigable to Tampico
for only comparatively light draft
vessels. Two weeks ago the scout
cruiser Chester, the gunboat Dolphin
and one or two other American YES
sells were anchored in front of STam-
pico in the river. The entire city was
directly under their guns and Ad
miral Mayo was convinced he could
have taken the place without the loss
of . man.
1t seemed advisable. however, to Or
der the ships from the harbor to the
Gulf. This scarcely had been accom-
plished it is said. before the Mexicans
placed mines in the river to prevent
the ships from again entering.

In Custody and
Inquiry to Be
Extended

Evidence Of "StuffIng"

New York. May 3.-Four election
officials were arrested here today on
indictments for alleged frauds in con-
nection with the special eiectloh VI

York state, according to the oillclai
canvass. decided to hold next year
constitutional convention, District Al
torney Whitman announced that ne
would carry his investigation OF alieS-

stitutionaI Convention proposition.
All the men arrested served in the
sixth election district or the l2th as
sernbIy district, which contains the
residence of Charles F. Murphy lead
or of Tamrnany Hall. The statement
given out at the district attorneys
office called attention to the fact. but
made no accusation against any party
organization. In Republican circles,
however, 1t was said that the Demo-
Gratis favored holding the convention
next year because they hoped d.
vision of Republicans and ProgresslVes
would enable them to control 1t. Three
of the men under arrest are Republic
cans and one a Democrat. They are
Daniel w. Bresnan, George Wasen and
Joseph Koch, all election inspectors
and Louis BOIL. a political leader.
The election inspectors are indicted
for a felony, punishable by three
years in prison or a $4,000 fine, or
both. The specific charge is that
they allowed one Eugene Beard to
vote Illegally Boil is charged with
aiding and abetting another person in
Illegally voting.
The evidence showed, according to
the district attorneys statement. that
certain election inspectors in charge
of the polling places in that district
voted from 10 to 20 times.
