CONVICTS TRY TO LYNCH
ILLINOIS NEGRO SUSPECT
Sixteen Hundred Prisoners Threaten
Death to Convict Accused Of
Burning Warden's Wife.

Fearing repetition Of the demon
stration by sixteen hundred convicts
against Joe Campbell and Walter Ed
wards, negro convicts suspected OF
Staying the wife of Edmund Allen,
warden of the state penitentiary at
Joliet, Ill, prison officials saw that
each convict was locked in his cell
Monday night and special precautions
were taken to prevent any outbreak.
Even the TRUSTEES were locked up for
the first time in the history OF the
prison.
In spite of the watchfulness of the
day guards thirteen hundred conviets
rose in the main dining hall at mid
day dinner and shouted threats
against Campbell, then the only sus-
pect. One hundred guards rushed to
the convicts and with clubs quieted
the uproar.
Monday night there was suppressed
excitement in the prison and old
guards said the whisper had gone
from cell to cell to punish the ne
groes whose alleged crime jeopardlz-

FIGHT AROUND MEXICO CITY;
zAPATA ATTACKS CARRANzA
OCCUPATION Of Capital by ConStitu'
tionalist Army Seems to be
Less Probable.

Zapata forces defending the City
of Mexico have engaged the attack
ing Carranza army in series of ar
tillery duels and delayed its advance,
No details were contained in the ad-
vices reaching WASHINGTON Friday
which were the first indications that
the Carranza advance would be re-
sisted.
Communication with the City OF
Mexico has been cut off since June
eighteenth when Gen. Gonzales, the
Carranza commander. cut the wires
to Vera Cruz at Otumba. twenty-five
miles east of the capital. Consular
advices from Vera Cruz Friday said
the wires still were down, and it was
Improbable that communication
would be restored before Carranza
forces entered the city.
Vera Cruz disnatches TO the Car
ranza agency at WASHINGTON have in
sisted Gonzales was DELAYING his oc'
cunation "to save the CITY from the
horrors Of attack" and had been or.
1ered to exhaust every means to in
1uce the Villa-Zapata troops to with
draw without resistance.

UNITED STATES OBJECTED
TO JAP ARMY IN EUROPE
Dutch Newspaper Says Unofficial
Hint Kept 100000 Japs From
Fighting In Europe.

The Handelsblad, leading Dutch
newspaper, asserts that Japan was
prevented from sending three hun
dred thousand troops to Europe by an
unofficial hint to Great Britain from
Washington that such an expedition
would be undesirable.
The newspaper declares that a
Japanese army of that strength was
landed in Manchuria, where it was
exercising preparatory to departing
for the European battlefield, but that
Great Britain, after receiving the in
timation from the United States in
formed Toxic that "she was sorry,
but under American pressure must
request that the Japanese govern
ment do nothing further concerning
the dispatch of an expeditionary
corps to Europe"
stAfter this" the Handelsblad con-
cludes, 'the Japanese army disap-
peared from Manchuria probably to
the relief of Great Britain, which
never has desired Japanese partici-
patton in the fighting in Europe"
Government officials at Washing
ton heard Without comment OF the
article published IN the Handelsblad
asserting that an unofficial hint from
Washington to London blocked plans
by Japan for sending three hundred
thousand men to Europe to partlcl-
pate in the European war.
1t is known there were exchanges
between the American and British
governments while the recent Japa-
nese-Chinese negotiations were in
progress, but their nature was kept
secret and officials are not inclined
to say what took place.
Denies Objections to Jap Troops
The state department Wednesday
denied reports that the United States
had suggested that Japanese army
should not be dispatched to Europe.
No suggestion whatever was made to
Japan, say the department officials.

GREAT BRITAIN EXPLAINS
Her ORDER IN COUNCIL
Sets Out Her Actions and Explains
Methods Whereby Neutrals May
Trade Without Conflict.

The British foreign office deliver
ed Tuesday to Ambassador Page for
Transmission from London to Wash
ington memorandum explanatory
of efforts being made by the British
government to mitigate the hardships
suffered by neutral traders on ac-
count of the order in council and
other war measures affecting their
interests.
reply to the American contraband
notes, gives a summary Of the meas
ures adopted by Great Britain with
the purpose of enforcing, with as lit
tie friction as possible, her policy OF
shutting off Germany from the rest
of the world. The foreign office sets
forth methods whereby neutrals may
trade without coming into conflict
with these regulations.
The memorandum Of the British
foreign office summarizing measures
adopted to alleviate difficulties to
neutral traders under the order in
council will not, it is understood in
Washington, affect the sending of the
note to Great Britain now in pre-
paration. This communication is to
reiterate the American protest
against the illegality Of the princi-
pies of the order in council.
While the measures which are un-
derstood to be outlined in the Brit
ish memorandum are aimed to cor
rect troubles experienced by Ameri-
cans in their trade with neutral
countries, the United States insisted
in the note of March 30-its last
communication on the subject-that
England has no right under interna-
tional law to stop non-contraband
goods of American ownership pass
ing to and from Germany through
neutral countries, a blockade being
held as effective only against a bel
ligerent coast itself.

Miss Flora spicer received q visit

Miss Flora Spicer received q visit
last week from her cousin, Mr.. Fred
l.. Spicer, with his wife and two
daughters, Of Mexico, n. Y. They
were on their way home from tie
western coast, the ranama exposal
ton, the Yellowstone Park, and other
scenes OF interest in the west. Mr..
Spicer says that he found nothing in
the west that compares with the two
Dakotas for crops this year, the
nearest approach to it being in Utah.
Montana seems to be exceptionally
poor, in Mr.. Spicer's opinion. One
of the chief points that impressed
itself upon his mind while in Califor-
MIA, SO far as the condition of the
country is concerned, Is the evidence
of the lack Of wealth in the rural sec
tons, the whole farming regions hav-
ing no appearance OF prosperity com
pared with conditions in the Dakotas.
Mr.. Spicer admitted, also, that New
York, with all Its wealth and af1uence
has nothing that can be called a real
grain field from the standpoint of q
South Dakotan.
