REIGN Of TERROR
IN MEXICO CITY
HUNGER AND LACK OF WORK
CAUSE OF RiOTING IN MEX
lCAN CAPITAL.
City Covered With Patrols to Dis
perse Gatherings Of Striking EN-
ployees of Electric Light and
Street Railway Companies.

Ell Paso. Texas.--Reports OF social
discomfort in Mexico are contained In
a copy of El Nacional, Carranza or
gan of Mexico City, which reached
here Sunday. 1t stated that last week
General Benjamin Hill, military com
mander of the federal district, had
covered the city with patrols to dis
perse gatherings of striking employees
of the electric lighting and street rail
way company. 1t added that several
shots had been fired and that small
riots had resulted.
According to the paper, Carranza
met representatives of the Federation
of Syndicates, the organization be-
hind the strike. and informed them
that In his opinion their action in
striking was unpatriotic. Social dis
content in Mexico was attributed to
the influence of socialist labor agen-
cies." Arrivals in Ell Paso from the
capital, however, said that the food
scarcity and lack of opportunity for
work are important factors.
Private dispatches here from Chi
huahua City said that General" Jo-
seph Salazar, held there In connection
with alleged revolutionary plots, had
been executed by General Trevino.
There was no official confirmation,

POLITICAL GOSSIP
FROM
WASHINGTON,

| '"S'6 3 WI, aug 1OObS vi
the noticeable and somewhat
important features OF the present
political situation is that the
Democrats are frequently excus.
ing or openly condemning some
OF the policies of the Wilson ad-
ministration. Members of the
Senate and OF the House have
come to realize that Wilson's
popularity and his consequent
strength are not what they were
two years ago and that they
cannot hope to win their own
elections by merely shouting for
Wilson. On the contrary, they
can now see that when the Nov.
race has ended, the man who is
hanging to the coat tail Of Wilson
will be too far in the rear to be
winner.
Senator Stone, OF Missouri,
who, however, does not come
up for election this year, is one
member of the Democratic side
OF the upper house of Congress.
who has recently taken a fling al
