ALUMINIUM PLANT GUARDED
Sheriff Calls Militia to Take Charge
of Plant at Mossena, N. "
One Workman Killed.

Massena, N. Y, Aug. 3.-Three
companies of the state militia from
Malone and Ogdensburg arrived here
and took charge of the strike situa-
tion at the plant of Aluminium COM
pany Of America, after a riot in which
one workman who refused to walk out
was killed.
Sheriff Day of st. Lawrence coun.
ty, who was called to Massena at the
first outbreak, was unable to subdue
the strikers. With deputies and po-
licemen he charged them at a bridge
entrance to the plant, which they
were holding, but the officers were
driven back. In this encounter po-
liceman was severely dubbed.
Finding it impossible to control the
1000 employees on strike, Sheriff Day
called upon Governor Whitman for
troops and the three companies
reached here.
The strikers, barricaded behind the
bridge, were charged by the troops
and dispersed.

Washington, Aug. 3.-Off1cial con.
f1rmation of the report of the re-oc.

Gonzales was received in a statement
from General Carranza's headquarters
at Vera Cruz. It says further imme.
date efforts will be made to send
foodstuffs by rail to the starving PEG.

ment had no direct advices as to the
situation there.
Heavily guarded trains, it was re.
ported, are being prepared to leave
Vera Cruz with provisions to supple.
ment those being taken into the city
by the army. Washington officials
are hopeful that General Gonzales has
protected the railway line SO trains
can get through with but slight de.

ness of Carranza's operations to pro

No news Of Villa.
Since the announcement, officially
confirmed in state department dis
patches, that General Gonzales drove
Villas flying column under General
Fierro from Pachuca, little has been
heard of this southern division Of Vii

The Villa agency issued a state
ment saying the flying column waa

2 ACTIVE PROBES OF WRECK
INVESTIGATION TO PLACE BLAME
FOR DISASTER NARRoWs.

Now 996.

Chicago, Aug. Investigation to
determine whether Anyone was crimi-
nally to blame for the capsizing of
the steamer Eastlahd i'm the Chicago
river with the loss of a thousand lives,
was narrowed to federal grand jury
and the steamboat inspection service
under Secretary of Commerce William
C. Redfeld.
The ship, still lying on its side
where it fell at it's wharf, was taken
over by federal marshal on orders
from Judge X. M. Lands of the United
States district court. The county
grand jury, it was decided by States
Attorney Maclay Hcyne, probably did
not have sufficient Jurisdiction to &C.
complish anything and ceased its in.
quiry for the present.
Develops Few New Facts.
Secretary Redfield's examination of
steamboat inspectors continued, but
developed few new facts. Charges
that the steamboat inspection service
would not be stringent enough with
it's own members continued and elicit
ed from Secretary Redfield repeti-
ton of the statement that the inquiry
was according to law and that judy
ment should not be passed until the in.
vestigation was ended.
Before Mr.. Redfeld began his rear
ings labor leaders issued statements
declaring that the department of COM
merce inquest would be a whitewash
for federal inspectors. These labor
leaders telegraphed a protest to Pres
ident Wilson, but received no reply.
After testimony before Secretary
Redfield, Mayor William Hale Thomp.
son, Assistant Corporation Counsel
Korshak and others said that the ex.
animation Of witnesses seemed to them
unsatisfactory, while Assistant States
Attorney Sullivan thought the ques.
tons put by Secretary Redfield were
too leading.

SECOND BRITISH
NOTE IS RECEIVED.
DEALS WITH DETENTION OF
cARGoEs CONSIGNED TO
NEUTRAL PORTS.
TO PAINT FLAGS ON SHIPS.
Germany Requests That American
Vessels Have National coiors
Painted On Sides-Dispatch
Causes no Comment.

Washington, Aug. 3.-Silence from
the German government and volum-
nous representations from Great
Britain marked the International stu
alton here.
It now appears that if Germany shall
continue to respect the rights of the
United States, interest in the immedi-
ate future will center in the controv-
ersy this governement is having with
the British foreign Office.
The supplemental note from London
dealing with the detention of Ameri-
can cargoes consigned to neutral ports
in Europe has reached the state de-
partment. This is the communica-
ton that was promised week ago
when Sir Edward Grey asked Secret
airy of State Robert Lansing to with
hold from publication a note that had
just been received dealing at great
length with the treatment Great Brit
ain has accorded United States ship
ping.
Secretary of State Lansing an
nounced that this supplemental note,
together with the note that came in a
week ago and also a third note deal
ing with the Neches case, will be made
public In this country Wednesday. The
supplemental note that has just come
in is to large extent, it was said,
revision of the note that was writ
ten before the last communication of
the United States to Germany went
forward. Whether the new note bears
evidence that the British foreign Of
fee changed it's views in any respect
after it had read the note to Germany
is not disclosed by the state depart
ment.
Only One Section Received.
The only word from Berlin came
in the form of note dealing with
the Frye case. It is in answer to the
communication of the United States
sent some weeks ago Directing to the
case going to prize court. Only one
section of this note had been received
but the balance of its is expected at
once, and it will be made public, Sec
rotary Of State Lansing said, within
few days.
The German admiralty has request
ed that American ships have Ameri-
can flags painted on their sides in pro.
portions large enough to be recognized
by submarine commanders. Many
American ships have been painting the
national :olors on their sides, but it
is said they were painted too small.
Ambassador Gerard transmitted the
request in message, a paraphrase
Of which, given out by the state de-
partment, follows:
THE American ambassador at Ber-
lin has been informed by the German
admiralty that merchant vessels wish
ing to indicate their neutral national
ity by painting their national colOrs
on the ships sides often commit the
mistake Of painting these signs too
small, so that they cannot be recog-
nized at some distance. The foreign
Office requests American steamship
companies be accordingly informed"
The dispatch brought out no COM
ment in official quarters.
