NEAR BATH RIOT.

(By Review Leased Wire)
 FL PASO, Texas, Sept. 27.-An of- ticial investigation to fix the responsi- bility for the misunderstanding at the international bridge today, which came near causing a bath riot" similar to that of 1916, was started here late to- day. Mexican officials claimed that federal employees at the bridge used abusive language toward MeXicans while enforcing a new regulation that all persons who did not have a bath certificate should pass through the Immigration and bath station on the American side. This order was issued because it was reported to the United States health officers that a case of typhus had developed in Juarez.
 This report was later denied. A crowd of Mexican laborers and serv- ants gathered at the Mexican end of the bridge and mounted policemen from Juarez were sent there to pre- vent trOble. A street car from Fl Paso was stoned in Juarez and the trolley removed, but no Americans were harmed. The misunderstanding was explained at noon, the JJuareZ port was reopened and street car traffic resumed.
