MEXICANS FIRE ON
 AMERICAN SAILORS
"Jackies" Were Landing at Ma2- atlan When Attacked from Shore

Washington, June 20-Further com- plicating the Mexican situation there has been a virtual repetition of the Tampico flag incident of the Huerta regime-on the west coast of Mexico, at Mazatlan, where Mexicans fired up- on American naval officers and blue jackets in a landing party from the gunboat Annapolis.
 The incident occurred early Sunday morning, but>on account of difficulties of radio communication from MaZar- Ian was not reported to the navy de- partment until late yesterday after noon. When Admiral Cameron McRae W1nsloW, commander-in-chi of the Pacific fleet, at San Diego, Cal, sent @ dispatch reporting casualties or both sides. -

A. w. Marx Claims 1t Was By Acci- dent He Sold Renovated Butter
 In Unmarked Packages.

A. W. Marx, who conducts the Ma street, was arraigned before Judge James T. Meskill in police court this m orning and pleaded guilty to selling renovated butter without having the packages properly labelled. He was fined $20 and costs.
 State Dairy and Food Commissioner Stadtmueller brought the complaint and set forth that on April P Marx sold a half pound package of reno Vated butter in an unlabelled parcel to a woman. The commissioner further informed the prosecuting attorney that when asked to explain the mat ter Marx said it was a mistake. but the commissioner was unable to let it mistake" had occurred no less than five or six times before. Marx told Judge Meskill that his selling the but ter without having it properly marked was a mistake. He said that beneath the counter in the store is wrapping paper stamped as required Dy law, but in his haste to wait on customers on the day in particular he took wrong piece of paper.
 Jacob Sabola and Stanley Micholow- ski, arrested by Officer McCabe and Joseph Kennedy on High street at midnight for fighting, were each fined s7 and costs. Each man accused the other of starting the trouble.

Boatswain's mate, second class, I. M. Laughter, gravely wound- ed. Crew returned fire and report killing or wounding about six Mexi- cans.'
 The Mexican embassy presented a report from the military commander at Mazatlan, General Mezto, telling of the incident, accompanied by instruc- tions from the Mexican foreign office urging that the Americans be ke.T aboard their ships. The Mezto report told this story:
 "A boat from the warship ap- preached a Mazatlan wharf and was warned to keep off until permission to land could be obtained from the mil itary authorities. 1t went back to the ship, and several hours later returned with it's crew armed. The officer in command was told permission for landing had not been given and an argument ensued. A crowd of sol- diers and civilians had gathered on the wharf and in the midst of the dis cussion a drunken Japanese fired a shot at the Americans, who promnt1v replied with a vOlley into the crowd Carranza soldiers returned tho Gro and the bOath withdrew, leavinc ne- hind two officers, who were arres+od Explanations then were exchaneaa o,, the commander of the warship ans th a

The clash was called to the atten- tion of the Washington government by General Carranza's ambassa d or here, with a request that, in the exist ing tense situation, no men be landed in Mexico from American warships un- der any circumstances.
 The incident resulted in the capture by the Mexcans of two American off, cers, who, after an explanation, were released, according to the report pre- scented by the ambassador. The dis patch from Admiral WinslOW an- nounced the capture of the men, but made no mention of their release. Off, cials assumed the release occurred aft CT the message was sent. The only American injured was Boatswains Mate I. M Laughter, who, the Admiral reported, was "gravely wounded"
 Admiral Winslow sent only a brief account of the incident, and navy de- partment officials immediately re- quested a more detailed report. Late last night it had not been received. Meanwhile there was no indication that the ambassadors protest would in any degree modify the governments plans for protecting Americans in Mexican coast towns, which involve sending marines and bluejackets ashore to bring off refugees should any emergency require it. More than a score of American war vessels already are in Mexican waters, en route there, or being held in readiness to go as refugee ships.

FOOD DESTROYEJ
TO BOOST PRICES
FEDERAL FOOD INVESTIGATORS
FIND THAT FARM PRODUCE is
ALLOWED TO ROT
COMBINES FORMED TO KEEP UP PRICES
Central Market Is Advocated to Com
bat Top Heavy Living
Expenses

Startling information regarding food
manipulations was offered before Unit
ed States District Attorney Clyne at
Chicago last week. Farmer Brundage,
living neal Hammond, Ind, reported
that his entire pumpkin crop was
bought and paid for in cash by a
stranger who then allowed the pump
kins to rot on the ground.
investigators learned that twenty
eight car loads of potatoes were dump
ed into the river.
That similar conditions prevail else
where and that spectators are buying
potatoes, cucumbers, ~cabbages, pump
kins, apples and other fruits and vege-
tables and allowing them to rot I'M
picked have been rumored in the fed
eral investigation from time to time.
Combine in Beans
Complaint also was received that a
combination to raise the price of beans
exists and that large Quantitiesof them,
both in bulk and in can, are being held
in Norfolk, Va, Philadelphia and Sagi-
nav, Mich. The storing of these beans,
according to the report of the federal
bureau, has increased the cost of can
ned beans 60 per cent and dry beans
40 per cent in the last six months.
Al agent was sent to Peoria, Ill, to
investigate a report that t~wenty-eight
carloads Of potatoes had been dumped
into the river there.
If it developed that the potatoes had
been condemned by health athorities,
the agent was instructed to learn how
long they had been held in cars.
Central Market Advocated
A central market so located that
steamships could unload directly under
its roof and with connecting shippers
for railways. was advocated by
John j. Dillon, commissioner Of the
state department of foods and markets,
as the most practicable mean of COM
batting the high cost of living.
BY eliminating the excessive cost of
handling and rehandnng food products,
Mr.. Dillon said it was his belief the
prevailing prices for food commodities
would be materially reduced.
That the problem has become ac-
cute was further emphasized by Depu-
ty Assistant District Attorney Marke-
