MEXICAN COAST
Government Volunteers to
Keep German U-Boats
From Getting Base

Washington, D. c., Nov. 6.-The
American government has informed
the de facto government that precau-
tions should be taken to prevent any
violation Of Mexico's neutrality by
operation of belligerent submarines
within its territorial waters or the es-
tablishment of submarine base on
the Mexican coast. The informatino
was conveyed. the state department Of
fetal said today, in a wholly friendly
spirit and not at the suggestion OF
any of the entente powers.
State department officials realized
that If Germany began wide spread
campaign Of commerce raiding as was
believed possible at the time the sub
marine U-53 attacked allied shipping
off the New England coast, 1t might
be extended to Mexico. The great oil
fields there. the principal source Of
fuel oil for British war vessels, it was
thought. might attract German sub
marines for the purpose of destroying
tank steamers carrying oil to enemy
warships.
1t was said today the Mexican gov
ernment is without sufficient means to
insure protection of its neutrality and
that it might be comparatively easy
for foreign power to establish a sub
marine base at some unsuspected point
along that coast. Serious complica-
tions between Mexico. Great Britain or
France might ensue to the embarrass-
ment of the de facto government
which might bring the United States
into the controversy.

SIX MEN ARE KILLED WHEN
TOWNsPEoPLE USE FORCE TO

Seattle, WASH, Nov. 6.-6ix men are
dead and fifty are suffering today from
bullet wounds as the result of battle
yesterday at Everett. Wash, thirty
miles north Of Seattle, when $50 mem
bers Of the Industrial Workers of the
World sought to land in that city from
the steamer Verona which had carried
them from Seattle. The boat was met
by Sheriff Donald McRae Of Snoho-
mish county, who with posse for
bade the men to land.
A shot fred from the Verona, ac-
cording to the boats officers. was fol-
lowed Immediately by firing from both
sides. The steamer hastened back to
Seattle with the dead and wounded.
The Seattle police took the dead to the
morgue, the wounded to the city hos.
pital and the unwounded to the city
Jail.
One member of the Everett citizens
posse. G. o. Curtis. formerly second
lieutenant in the Washington national
guard, was killed and nineteen wound.
ed.
Including the wounded, there are 294
men and three women under arrest
here. Forty-one men were taken from
a second steamer which failed to reach
Everett. The women were taken from
a motor bus which had conveyed them
from the northern boundary Of Seattle
where they had disembarked from an
Everett interurban car. 1t is alleged
by the Seattle police that Miss Edith
Frenette tried to throw red pepper in
to the eyes Of Sheriff McRae, while he
was being taken to a hospital in Ev-
erett.
The fight was the result Of long
contest between the Industrial Work
ers and the citizens of Everett over
the right to hold street meetings in
the city.
Major c. d. Pennington Of the
national guard was placed in charge of
the situation at Everett. The Everett
naval militia, the Snohomish company
and one company of militia in Seattle,
were under orders today to meet any
emergency.
Sheriff McRae, who was shot twice,
asserted that the frst shot was fired
by man standing before the mast in
front of the pilot house.
McRae said the mans action took
the posse by surprise, for while
trouble had been anticipated an open
battle was not seriously expected.
Four wounded members Of the citi-
zens' posse were In a critical condition
early today.

Dying Mother, Now Back in Camp
Under Arrest.

Chicago, Nov. 6.-Private Jacob B.
Lewis, first Illinois cavalry, today in
camp at Ft. Sheridan was quietly
awaiting such punishment as may be
meted out to him for sensational es'
cape from the camp a weep ago to
visit his dying mother at Peoria, Ill.
Whether the trooper is to be pun
ished or not is said to be problemati'
cal, for he claims to have telegram
from Secretary Of War Bayer, a cous-
in, he says, Of his father, commencing
his action in the circumstances.
"A week ago yesterday got a tel
egram saying mother was dying" re.

the adiutant wouldn't comtersign ii

He turned me down and said would

me. SO l overpowered the guard and
escaped. At Chicago l telegraphed the
circumstances to Secretary Baker and
caught a train to Peoria. Mother was
dead when l got there"
After the funeral Lewis returned to
camp. Colonel Foreman said that
there had been so much illness report
ed among mothers since his troops
were so close to their homes that he
had grown cynical and that Lewis
case would be handled without regard
to his reported relationship to the sec
retary of war.

Now Reckon With Corn Grow

Peoria. H., Nov Ga carload OF
corn from Argentina reached Peoria
yesterday and went on change today
in competition with Illinois and Iowa
corn. The consignment was eighteen
days in getting from the port of entry
to the United States. to Peoria. The
delay Is officially charged to the loss
Of billing, but republicans assert
that it was due to desire to keep it
of the market until after election.
The story that one million bushels
Of wheat was being brought to Peoria
from Argentina, was published last
week. Republicans seized the oppor.
tunity to show the farmers that the
Underwood tariff did not protect them.
Administration orators promptly
branded the story as false and said
there was no such shipment of corn
But the corn is now on the market
