AVERSION TO BATHS
CAUSE DISTURBANCE
MEXICAN DOMESTICS RESISTED
THE AMERICAN QUARAN-
TINE RULES.

Ell Paso, Texas.-Deepseated aver
sion of Mexican women of the peon
class toward bathing caused anti
American riots in Juarez. The riot
ing became so violent that new In
ternational complications were feared
and it may result in action by the
military authorities here.
Four hundred Mexican women, led
by a red-haired girl, started to cross
the international bridge to go to their
places of employment. They were
barred by health officers acting under
a new quaratine rule, which provides
that all persons without military
passes must take a disinfectant bath
of vinegar and gasoline before enter
ing Ell Paso.
The women vigorously refused to
submit to the baths. They attempted
to push their way past the health Of
fcers and bridge guards but were
driven back. Suddenly they turned
their fury to a street car, crossing the
bridge The forces of the women were
augmented quickly by other women
and children and later maay men.
Four street cars in Juarez and on
the bridge were attacked. The motor
men and conductors were dragged
from the cars and beaten. The cars
were wrecked and burned.
A United States mail wagon which
was crossing the bridge was also
wrecked by the mob. The driver was
beaten.
In the midst of the rioting the Mexi
can authorities issued orders direct
ing that no Americans should be per-
mitted to enter or leave Juarez.
For hours thousands Of Mexicans
gathered at the Juarez end of the in
ternational bridge shouting maledic
tions at Americans and the United
States troops on this side.
During the progress of the rioting
the impression became generdl thd'
Villa had taken the city. While the
crowds were cursing the Gringoes, the
cry of "Viva Villa" was started and
even the Carranza soldiers joined in
the cheering. Jose Maria Sanchez, a
prominent Mexican, was shot to death
by a Carranza officer for shouting 'Vi
va Villa" A number of Gen. Muir
guia's troops were executed for the
same reason, according to reports.
The shooting brought several hun
dred troops 10 the American side OF
the bridge, ready to cross into Mexi
co in case any bullets fell on this
side. So far as is known this did not
occur.

NATIONAL GUARD
CRITICS REBUKED
PRESIDENT WILSON SAYS THEIR
LANGUAGE DID NOT CON-
MEND CAUSE.

Washington. - President Wilson,
speaking to a delegation from the
Maryland League for National De
fense, which attacked the national
guard and advocated universal mill
tary training, rebuked them for their
'unrestrained language" and said
they would have a better chance Of his
support if they were more reasonable
in their attitude.
Tho memorial read to the president
by Maj Randolph Barton spoke of the
national guard system as disgrace
and a failure" It urged universal
compulsory military training and ser
vice, and mentioned the mobilization
of the national guard along the Mexi-
can border as an example of the fail.
ure of the system.
President Wilson told the delega-
tfon that their attitude closed the op-
portunity fir discussion Of the ques-
tion ard was not helpful.
The president, discussing compuL
sorry military service, declared that un-
Guestionably physical training was
needed and would accomplish great
deal, ''but it can be had without com
pulsory military service"
He added that he was desirous of
doing the wise thing and that the en-
tire subject was receiving his most
earnest consideration. He vigorously
defended the efforts being made in
Congress to build up a proper military
service

ed when Senator Jones offered a reso-
luton TO have printed 200 copies OF
the bone dry bill. An amendment
was offered by Alexander to make the
number 500. Senator Alexander said
he had received 81 letters in his morn
ing mail asking for copies. President
Davenport held that the bill was now
law and that no resolution could
authorize the printing of more copies
as an appropriation bill would be re-
quired for that purpose. Senator Col
lns, in speaking against the resolu'
ton, said he didn't doubt that every
one in the state knew all the provi-
sions of the bill. SO far as | know
