Much Aeitated Over the incident
and Strong Protest to Washington

probably fatally wounded Antonio
Rodriguez, Mexican musician, while
the Mexican and companion were
making their way toward the interna-
tfOnal boundary. One of them carried

ment
Tucker said that he called to the
men to halt, but they did not do so.
He has not been arrested.
All American guards are said to
have instructions to fire on any one
bearing arms should they fail to halt
when ordered to do so.
Rodriguez and his companion de-
clared, however, that they were on
Mexican soil when the shooting oc-
Cured. General p. Elias Gales, mill
tary commander of Sonora. sent a
telegram to General Carranya which,
it was said protested in strong terms
against the "desecration of Mexican
soil and the lbertise of Mexicans."
Adolfo de la Huerta, governor of
Sonora, sent similar protest, under
stood to have been couched in even
stronger language, to Jesus Acuna.
minister of foreign relations in the
Carranza cabinet.
Ives G. Lelevier, Mexican consul,
telegraphed to Eliseo Arredondo, am
bassador designate of the Mexican
government in Washington, requesting
that he protest to the state depart
ment and demand redress. Lelevier
also visited General 7. F. Davis to
urge him to investigate the cause and
punish the sentry. General Davis
promised to make an investigation,
Lelevier said.
Companion Tells Story.
According to the story of COM
panion of Rodriguez he and Rodri-
guez were unarmed. They had been
in Douglas, he said, and had started
for Aqua Prieta. AS the customs
house, the usual place for crossing,
was nearly half mile distant, they
decided to cross the boundary a few
yards from where they were. They
did so, not noticing any American SOL
dier in that vicinity, he said.
After he had reached Mexican terri
tory. he said in his statement to the
Mexican officials, he heard shot He
turned to see where it had been fired
from and saw the American soldier
throw the ejector of his rifle, then
throw cartridge into the breech of
his gun.
He said he dropped to the ground,
but that Rodriguez, who was near
sighted and unable to see the soldier,
walked on until the fifth shot fired by
the soldier struck him and he fell.
The shooting was reported to Cen
aral Gales, who was with Governor de
a Huerta. Consul I4elevier was sum
noned from Douglas.
"This is the sort of treatment my
people are given after all have done
or Americans" Gales exclaimed He
md De la Huerta instructed the con-
sui to proceed to the spot and investi-
cate, which he did
Rodriguez was found approximately
90 yards south of the border, but
whether he had been carried there or
lad fallen where he was found has
lot been determined.

cabin passengers. chiefly Scandinavian.
most OF whom hoped to spend Christmas s

migrant who had developed smallpox on
the voyage from Bergen held the shin

on Clifton.
Thereafter until late last night the
vaccinatinE force OF Quarantine was
busy inoculating those who had no proof
that they were protected against small
pox. The Finn was sent TO Swinburne
Island and all the 43e third cabin pas
sengers. including some American citi-
Gems, were told they might have to re-
main fourteen days on Hoffman Island
for observation.
Holman Island at this season II one
OF the blcakest places inside any bay of
the country. and there are no Christmas
trees there except perhaps in the homes
of some OF the employees. and these few

Scandinavians, whose Viking ancestors

the Scandinavians felt unhappy. Still.

Nantucket Shoals Lightship No. S5,

the eighty mile gale Friday night, crept

TO QUIZ LAWSON
ON CAPITAL LEAKS
Financicr Says Stock Market
Had Advance Information
Of Wilson Note.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 24-Intercst in
the forthcoming investigation by the
House into the alleged pipe line con-
nections between Wall Street and Wash
ington and which investigation is pro-
vided for In the resolution introduced
by Representative Wood Of Indiana. was
whetted considerably to-day by the
declaration OF Thomas 4. Lawson that
such leaks exist and that the stock
market had advance information of the
Wilson note.
II is likely Mr.. Lawson will be given
an opportunity to tell what he knows
about the "leaks" The most sicniiica mt
thing about the Lawson statement as IL
is viewed here is that II leaves no ex-
cusc for not ordering the investigation
Tho Democratic leaders who were say
ing yesterday that no Investigation
would he ordered except upon specific
charges. can no longer advance any such
reason for not passing tho Wood reso-
luton.
Mr.. Lawson, II ne has been properly
quoted. has made tho specific charge
that there are leaks and that other leaks
will occur before tho New Year The
Boston hnancier processes to have IN
formation about the situation that IL I'm
portant.

asked by Representative Wood. author
of tho resolution. or soms ono equally
interested in the matter. to confirm the
statement credited to him in the press
to-day and to be a little more specific II
posstble, and upon these admissions the
proponents OF the resolution and those
who favor an Investigation Will demand
that the Democratic leaders authorize
the Investigation or accept the respon-
sibility for wilfully obstructing II.
Most of the Senators and Representa-
tiyes who are interested IN probing the
matter are saying that the investigati ton
IL ordered, will be broader than II con-
tcmpIated by Representative Woods 4
resolution. which deals only with the
developments OF a day or two relating
to the two statements from the state
Department interpreting the President q
note.
Tho desire in Congress is to develop
whether there Is any direct means OF
communication between high Admins
tration sources and the Wall Street spec
ulators. SO many things have happened
to suggest such means Of obtaining valu-
able advance Information that Senators
and Representatives believe tho matter
ought to be Investigated.
Brokers have from time to time been
able to advise their friends Of the con-
tents Of important messages or papers
In advance Of these being given out that
suggests very close connection with high
official sources.
Even the outlines OF tho President s
messages and his important recon-
mendaAions have been known In the
speculative centres several days be-
fore their delivery In Congress. Sena-
tors and Representatives say there ought
to he way of fixing the responsibility
for this leakage.

might act II tho House stifed the In.

these three men dares publish here what
he cablcd to America
II brought the matter before the
board OF control OF the club, who ex-
pressed their Indignation. Mr.. Gordon

He entirely supports Mr.. Curtin, teie-
graphed his congratulation on his good
work and has Endorsed the clubs in
