 DOUGLAS, Ariz, July 1S.-Excite- ment over the shooting of Antonio Rodriguez, a Mexican musician, by Private k.

CHICAGO, July 1S.-Henry J. Me Intyre, a crazed negro, believing him self d prophet who must die to carry "a message to the Almighty" became violent here today and as the result of his frenzy there was casualty list of six dead and three injured. The negro and his wife were killed but only after more than hundred police had besieged his residence for more than three hours and had been forced to re- sort to dynamite and fire to end the battle.
 Mcintyre had a congenial helpmate in his wife. He claimed divine au thority and she believed in him. He didn't believe in work for himself. His wife adopted this view also and paid the rent and the grocery bill by taking in washing.
 Today when Mcintyre strapped a belt of cartridges around himself and equipped himself with pistol and d rifle his spouse strapped on another belt and armed herself with a rifle. She fired the first shot at neighbor on the other side of the fence; helped to barricade the house when the po-
 lice came, and with her rifle helped
 to hold it for three and one half hours
 In the end she died with him. She was riddled with bullets and the tor of her head blown off. When Police man Edward Hughes entered the house he found her dead, crumpled up in the
 wreckage on the floor. Mcintyre, al
 ready wounded was gasping and lean ing against an ice box. He turned and
 the policeman sent d bullet into his brain.
 This shot terminated the most ex- citing episode on the West Side in (Continued on Page Two)

PROBE SHOOTING OF
 MEXICAN ON BORDER

was delivered by Ives G. Lelevier, Mexican consul here.
 Rodriguez and his companion, En- rique Pima, under oath, testified that they were not less than one hundred metres inside Mexican territory when the first shot was fired at them. The judge says that he found Rodriguez 240 metres south of the border
 General Gales interest in the case is shown by the fact that his chief of staff, Colonel M NJ. Mendoza, had the transcript of evidence made for General Davis and forwarded it to him under the official seal of the state. In conversation the Mexican authorities said that unless the sentry be punished, it was the intention of Governor De la Huerta and General Gales to make the case Q matter of international moment by insisting that it be taken up automatically between Mexico City and Washing ton.
 Private Tucker was not placed un- der arrest and from the statement of American army officers it appears that he was merely following orders when ne fired. American officers are understood to have declared that shots were fired before the pair crossed the | border

 CONVENTION TO
 OPEN TODAY
[Republlcan A. p. Leased wirel

ST. PAUL. July 1S.-Prominent members of the national prohibition party. assembled here for the open ing tomorrow of the paTty's twelfth quadrennial convention expressed the belief tonight that the contest for the presidential nomination narrowed down to two men-Wiliam Sulzer of New York and J. Frank Hanly of Indiana.
 This belief grew out of develop ments of the day including formal notification from Mir. Sulzer that he was leaving New York for St. Paul and private telegrams from Henry Ford, Detroit manufacturer. announc- ing his unwillingness to accept the nomination.
 Aside from the so-called "get to- gether" conference. delegates were oc- cupied principally with informal ses- sions relative to the contest for the presidential contest.
 While the get together" confer ence failed of it's original purpose which was to attract into the prohi- bition party scores of reformers here tofore identified with other parties there was a. general discussion of pro-
 hibiticns and means of uniting th'
 moral forces of the country

This sug gestion came from General Thoma | T. Wilson of Arizona. but was me with many dissenting voices. Gen eral Wilson is so years of age an has been a prohibition advocate fo years.

WILSON URGES
 CHILD LABOR
 LAWS ADOP TED
[Republican A. p. Leased wireI

WASHINGTON. July 1S.-President Wilson made personal visit to the capitol today to emphasize his desire that q child labor law be put on the statute books at the present session of congress. To senate leaders, whom he summoned to a series of conferences in the presidents room adjoining the senate chamber. he insisted that the child labor bill passed by the house should be made a part of the legisla tive program to be put through the senate before adjournment. Deter mined opposition by southern senators forced the house bill which would prevent shipment in interstate com merce of good manufactured wholly, or in. part. by children out of tine im- perative program drawn up by the democratic caucus last Saturday It was left in a secondary position. to be considered only if time remained after other measures regarded as more ur- gent had been disposed Of Mir.

 Whether the presidents visit accom- plished anything more than to bring his own position in the matter em- phatically to the front, was not ap- parent tonight So far as could be learned the democratic steering com mittee contemplated no change in the caucus program and no call had been issued for another caucus to consider Mir. Wilson's request.
 The presidents arrival at the cap itol was entirely unheralded. Accom- panied only by two secret service men he went directly to the presidents room and sent for Senator Kern, the majority leader. Later he discussed the subject with Vice President Mar shall, Senators Martin. Williams James and owen of the democratic steering committee, and Senators Sim mons and Hughes.

Military Critics ore Taking Stock
 of the Situation
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

LONDON, July 18.-While the ad- verse weather is compelling a lull in the fighting on the western front, military critics are taking stock of the situation. They are agreeably sur prised by the large captures of heavy armament that General Sir Douglas Haig, the British commander in chief announced. The critics point out how the British attacks have pressed with the greatest rapidity in order to give the Germans no time to organize for midable defenses. Also, as was evil denced by the withdrawal of the Brit ish from the Foureaux wood, where they had reached the German third line. Gen. Haig wisely resisted tempta- tation to hold on to that point. It would have incurred severe fighting with probably heavy losses, and Gen. eral Haig was in favor of a more methodical advance.
 Evidence received from the front. as well as the official map published here seems to prove that the German sec ond line of defenses was far less strong and elaborate than the first There fore, the military observers believe that the obstacles are likely to be less difficult as the entente alllec advance.
