MEXICO IS SAVED FROM BAD OUTBREAK
Plot of Destruction and General Strike ThWarted
By The Associated Press.


 Mexico City, Nov. 9.-Tho prompt action of the federal authorities in frustrating a movement for a general strike is regarded as the first step toward ending the critical situation that has arisen from he violent cam raigns being carried on by the Gales and De La Huerta parties.
 The government asserts that the strike plans, which were nipped by a display of federal military force. represented m attempt to turn the working classes against the army and provoke a conflict that was intended to result favorably to the national eo-operatista party which is support ing Adolfo de La Huerta in his campaign for the presidency.
 Under orders issued by Ramon Ross, the new governor of the fed eral district, strong forces of police and military presented such threat ening front yesterday that the Fed eration of Street Railwaymen in the federal district was forced to call off a strike which it had scheduled for, last midnight. At the same time, plans for a general strike of the telephone employees, the bakers, the cotton mill workers and the street railwaymen in Tampieo and San Luis Potosi were postponed until a delega- ton of leaders had had opportunity to confer with President Obregon who is convalescing nt Lake Chapala.
 Dynamiting is Frustrated
 The governments determined stand also is said to have frustrated plans for dynamiting the electric power cables that lead from the great power plant at Necaxa which supplies Mex leo City, Pachoa, Puebla, Fl Orc and neighhoring towns with light and pow CT. The water supply was also to be shut of.
 A statement issued at the office of the governor of the federal district says: The inhabitants of Mexico City were about to become the vic- tims of terrible attacks, had not the authorities discovered opportunely the machinations of certain political clements which were attempting to take advantage of strike provoked by the red elements among the Street Railway workers for the purpose of provoking a bloody conflict between the workers and the police and fed eral forces--a conflict with incalcul- able consequences"
 Plot Is Uncovered
 It was stated that shutting off pub lie services was to be taken as pre- text for forcing disorders in which the weapons seized yesterday at Parque flirs, considered a meeting place Of the co.operatists, would be used to ad- vantage. These weapons were cap tnred while they were being trans ported on a truck belonging 10 the

OLD CHIEF POSEY
GOES TO HAPPY
HUNTING GROUND
Passing Probably Ends
Last Indian War in
United States
ny United Press Leased Wire

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, April
25.-Old Chief Posey has gone TO
"thc happy hunting grounds.
Ever since the Piute Indians of
Southern Utah were rounded up and
driven to stockade they have been
secretly mourning the chief who
was killed in battle with the whites
on March 2S.
The Indians maintained stolid
silence when they were asked about
their leader until Tuesday when n
meeting Of the tribe was held. Then
Marcos jim, l08 years old, patri-
arch of the tribe and now the ac-
knowledge chief, asked to see Mar
shal Ward.
"Posey has gone to the land of
his forefathers,' said the old man
impressively. "There will be no
more war. He will never talk to
the young men again of the days
when the Indians owned this land.
He will never fire their hearts with
hate. Old Posey is dead. The white
men Killed him.
Picturesque Figure
No one really knows the full his
tory of the old man. The earliest
settlers knew and feared him but
stories of his extreme cruelty have
been denied by persons in Salt Lake
who were acquainted with the chief.
Like many others of his tribe he
resented the fact that other tribes
had been given much attention
from the government in land allot-
mcnts and supplies while the Piutes
were driven back to part of the
country they did not call home.
The death of old posey ends the
last Indian war it is probable the
United States will know.
