OFFICER HELLBERC
 INJURED IN PATROL
Well Known Policeman Jolted Over Rough Road and Spine Is
 Injured in Fall.

Officer GustaVe w. Hellberg is con- fined to his home at 130 Lincoln street with a badly injured spine and num- erous bruises about the head and body as the result of an accident he suf- fered in the automobile patrol last night while answering a call from Officer William Hart on Myrtle street.
 The officer was sitting inside the patrol and Night Driver Thomas Riley was at the wheel The road was very rough but the driver was proceeding carefully when an unusually deep rut was struck. Officer Hellberg was thrown from his seat inside the car and his head was jammed violently against the roof of the vehicle. In falling back he struck his spine against the side seat. He was ren- dered unconscious for a few minutes and had to be taken to his home in the ambulance.
 Dr. E. T. Fromen is attending the injured policeman and states that while his spine is injured he does not think his ribs are broken or that se- rious internal injuries will develop.

DIPLOMATS THREATEN
 TO LEAVE MEXICO
Because of Alleged Slight Respect Shown Them by the Carranza
 Authorities.

Washington, Feb. 6.-Administra- tlon officials and the diplomatic rep resentatives of foreign governments here were keenly watching for de- Velopments today in the acute situa- t1on at Mexico City, where many members of the diplomatic corps threaten to quit because of serious friction with the Carranza govern ment
 The advisability of united action for the withdrawal of all foreign le- gat1ons in the Mexican capital because of the difficulty of code communica- tlon and the alleged slight respect shown them by the Carranza autho ori- ties already has been suggested to their home governments by diplo- mats of some leading European na- tions.
 This would leave the interests of foreign countries in Mexico in charge of consular offices thereby virtually severing diplomatic relations with the southern republic. A critical feature of the situation is the threatened de- portation of the Spanish minister for atfording asylum to Angel de Caso, conhdentlal agent of the Spanish gov ernment, accused of complicity in the Villa movement
