nUERTA GUNS
ON SHIP HELD
At H0QUIAM? ?

United States District
Attorney Allen and other
federal officials in Seattle
are today believed TO be in
vestigating a possible con-
nection between the cargo
of rifles and ammunition,
seized late Tuesday at Ho-
quiam, and plans for a new
Huerta revolution in
Mexico.
Allen would not discuss the posi-.
bility that the 1000 rifles and belts
and 100000 cartridges found on
board the schooner Annie Larson
might have been consigned to Huer-
tistas. Neither would Customs Col.
lector Harper. whose deputy inspec-
tor. r. l.. Sebastian. ordered the YES
sci held at Hoquiam.
Suspect Standard Plot
An interesting avenue OF possibili.
ties for developments is opened up
by the fact that the cargo of muni.
tions was to have been transferred,
according to the story of the
schooner's captain. to a Standard
OIL tanker. The place fixed for this<
transfer was an uninhabited island
off the coast of Mexico.
Investigation. according to an
opinion some federal officials un.
officially ventured today, may show
a connection between Huertas re-
cent activities and the Standard on
company, which has enormous hold.
ings In revolution-torn Mexico.
Breach OF Neutrality
Deputy Customs Inspector II. l..
Sebastian at Hoquiam,
These will be later In the day
presented to the collector OF
customs at Seattle and to United
States District Attorney Allen.
THE laws of the United States"
said Allen. ALLOW a wide latitude In
the shipment of arms to warning
countries, and ! am not sure that
the Annie Larson has been guilty
of any violation OF neutrality laws.
Fitting out ship or an expedi
tion to participate in the war is ex-
pressly prohibited. but as to any
other shipment of munitions, there
is no rigid prohibition under our
laws"
