RED SYMPATHIzERS
ATTEMPT R0UGHHOUSE
ON MEXICAN S0LONS
(By Associated Press,

MEXICO CITY, May IS Radical
sympathizers attempted to force
their way into the chamber of deputies
last night to attack members Of the
Liberal Constitutionalist party who
were holding a cadcus there. The
men engaged in the disorder were dis
persed by the fire department.
The streets near the congressional
building were filled all the afternoon
with idly curious people who were
awaiting developments. Aurelia Man
rique, Socialist deputy, made an inn
passioned harangue, and large num-
bers gathered to break into the cham
ber. The timely arrival of the fire
men stopped the demonstration and
the radicals transferred their activi-
ties to Alameda park, in the center
of the city, but the firemen again in
terfered and the crowd was dis
persed. One Socialist deputy who re-
monstrated with policemen was ar
rested.
In the meantime the members Of
the Liberal Constitutionalist party
had left the building. Some of them
were openly carrying arms, but there
were no attacks made upon them. An
explanation was made later in the
evening that there was no attempt to
prohibit Socialist deputies from enter
ing the chamber, but that the doors
had been closed to forestall a possible
demonstration by spectators.
The crowds around the building,
however, were led to believe there
was governmental discrimination
against the Socialists and in favor of
their opponents.
