BY Associated Press.

IL By Associated Press

Sea by the British government has
drawn protests from the Dutch gov
eminent. which maintains that these
resolutions abolish the safe shipping
route across the North Sea, thereby
making impossible the passage of all
shipping to and from Holland around
the northern coast OF England. The
other routes are included in the Ger
man danger zone.
The Amsterdam correspondent Of
Reuters Limited says that the Dutch
government supposes this cannot be
the intention of tho British govern

consequences entailed by these meas

that the regulations will be modified

WILL INVESTIGATE RECENT RIOTING IN
 CITY 0f HOUSTON
City Council of Texas City
 Passes Resolution Provid. ing for an Investigation of the Recent Disorders There

HOUSTON, Tex, Aug. 27.-The city council adopted a resolution today providing for an investigation of the disturbance last Thursday when sey- enteen persons were killed as a result of indiscriminate shooting by 100 ne groes of the Twenty-fourth infantry. A board of inquiry was appointed by Acting-mayor D. M. Moody and the investigation is expected to get under way tomorrow.
 A telegram has been addressed to Washington asking that Major K. $. Snow, who commanded the negroes be kept here long enough that he might appear before the board of inquiry
 Major Snow will be asked about a statement he made while the shooting was going on in the negro camp that he did not nave a gun, although there had been evidence much earlier that trouble was impending. He will be closely interrogated regarding steps he took to prevent trouble.
 The resolution providing for the in- yestigation says charges that Houston police had improperly dealt with the negro soldiers, that negro citizens had assisted the negro soldiers in their rioting, and that intoxicating liquors were carried into the negro camp, will be completely gone into.

Wilson s Reply
 to Pope About
 Ready for Wire
tBy Review Leased Wire,

WASHINGTON, August 27.-Signs were in evidence today Of the dispatch of President Wilson's reply to the peace proposals of Pope Benedict at an early date. Officials freely con- ceded the probability of the early completion of the nomination indicat- ing that the president and Secretary Lansing have at least agreed upon the basic features of the reply. It is un- derstood that rough drafts of some of it's important points have already been prepared.
 So far no authorized statement has been forthcoming as to the nature of the reply Officials even deprecate speculation concerning it and there has been a formal denial of publish ed report that Secretary Lansing had informed some of the entente diplo- mats that Pope Benedict's proposals would be rejected No official opin- ions exists that the proposals will be accepted. but in diplomatic practice there is wide field of discussion be- tween the two extremes of reflection and acceptance.

 The men were captured by Deputy Sheriff Robert Lewis three miles from the scene of the attempted hold-up Sunday and brought to Socorro today. They had been living in a cave with out food since Thursday night They got water from a nearby spring. The attempted hold-up took place 80 miles west of Magdalena. The two faced Mcqueen and his three companions when their automobile had been brought almost to a stop by another machine which stood across the road, and ordered them to get out. S. M. Wilson, one of McQueen's compan- ions, opened fire with a rife and one of the men returned the fire, fatally wounding Mcqueen. Wilson's gun jammed and the two men escaped. Hayworth was wounded in the right shoulder. The bullet passed through his body. His condition is not ser ious, however

ANTI-PICKETINGIAW PASSED BY COUNCIL
 0F CITY OF BISBEE
Intimidation and Threatening Tactics Put Under the Ban in Ordinance Passed by City Council at Last Nights $ Meeting

An anti-picketing ordinance, intro duced at last nights council meeting by Bassett Watkins. was passed with four votes in it's favor. The ordinance provides a punishment by fine of not more than one hundred dollars or less than twenty-five dollars, or punishment by imprisonment of not more than fifty or less than twelve days for intimidat- ing or threatening any person at work or seeking work, or for preventing any person from trading with any place Of business. Davidson, Watkins, Walsh, and Lloyd voted for its passage, while Delbridge and Foudy did not vote.
 An interesting debate took up good part of the evening on the subject of twenty-four inches. The acceptance of a bid on a new Keily-Springfield truck for the city was objected to by J. J. Bowen and Thorlief Olsen, rep resenting respectively the Velie and Mack trucks. The specifications re- quired a 120-inch wheelbase, and the Kelly-Springfield was the only car on which bid could be made. After con siderable discussion, the council re- jected this bid and decided to read vertise for a truck without specifying the wheelbase. Bids were accepted for a Good Roads" grader, a rooter and a mixer.
 Before the council adjourned F. Q. Bennett rendered an invitation to the mayor, the council and the city com- missioners to ride at the head of the third division in the Labor Day parade. The invitation was formally accepted.

hterpertdHOn
 Of Existing LaW
 Asked by Wilson
(By Review Leased Wire)

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27-An in depreciation of existing laws which will define clearly the governments power to keep war prices down has been asked of Attorney General Gregory by President Wilson. The president particularly wishes to know how far the government can go under the food control and the national de fense acts.
 The defense act authorizes the exc cutive in time of war or other nation al emergency to commander supplies at fair prices but doubt has existed as to the allies and to the general public at the same figures obtained by the government.
 Under the food control act the pres ident has fixed coal prices and has wide authority over the production and distribution of foodstuffs but pro- visions of the act designated to give the government control over "neces- saries" never have been clearly de fined in the minds of many officials.
 The president has emphasized that heavy American and allied govern ment purchases will not be permitted to forecast prices to the private buy CT, With the price of coal disposed of for the time being the government has turned it's attention to steel and copper If a test comes between the government and industries over the avowed intention of the government to see that the public shares in price reductions, it will come first over steel. There is belief in some circles that most of the industries can be controlled through the governments control of fuel. Since ths is the basic commodity, it is urged, licensing sys- tenn could be used to force manufac- turers to sell at fair prices on the certainty that they would be denied coal if they did not comply.
