AMERICANS FAIL
TO GET PROTECTION
Mexican Troops Have Not
Reached Amparo, Consul
Says, Despite Statements.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Despite reiterated statements in
Mexico City that Federal troops were
in control of the situation at the Am
paro mines, a report received at the
State Department today said that at
9 o'clock yesterday morning no troops
had put in an appearance and that the
possibility Of violence still threatened.
Armed workers took possession of
the properties several days ago, and
American and British employees were
said to have found it necessary to bar
ricade themselves.
Message Sent to Consul.
The message received today was
sent from the mines to Vice Consul
Satterwhite at Guadalajara, who
transmitted it to the State Depart
ment:
mo troops have arrived nor is any
other visible protection being given,
it said. Armed radicals still control
camps, issuing threats. Although ten
sion less at present situation is serl-
Gus, as work Is stopped and we see
The State Department Immediately
called the attention of the embassy in
Mexico City to the conflict between
these accounts and the statements In
Mexico City that troops were afford
ing protection to the foreigners at the
mine. The embassy was directed to
renew it's representations to the Next
can foreign Office and stress the ex-
pectation of the Washington Govern
ment that adequate protection would
be afforded to the Americans nationals
involved at the earliest possible mo-
ment.
Led by Siqueiros.
Satterwhite telegraphed that en-
ployes from the Amparo mines who
had arrived at Guadalajara had in
formed him that armed agitators in
the district were directed by radi.
cal leader named Siqueiros.
1t is recognized at the State Depart
ment that troops might have arrived
at the Amparo mines after the mes
sage of yesterday morning had reach
ed Guadalaj lara. A request for infor-
nation as to the situation in that re-
spect as it existed today was telegraph
ed to the vice consul in an effort to
clear up the uncertainty. The mines
are 40 miles from Guadalajara.

TORONTO. Ontario, August 30
Canada's first contenders for trans
atlantic flight honors, Capt. Terry
Tully and Lieut.. James d. Metcalf,
were compelled to abandon their at
tempt yesterday to reach England
when their monoplane. Sir John Car.
ling, encountered severe storms. Short
ly after departure from the Crumlin
Flying Field they encountered rain
storms at Lake Ontario. The aviators
were attempting a London, Ontario,
to London. England, flight for a prize
Of $4,000.
Capt. Tully stated that in the neigh
borhood Of Coburg and Kingston they
ran into rain and fog. Different
heights were tested, but the fog was
found to be general, and as they APP
preached a chain of mountains they
decided that the best plan was to re-
turn to the flying field outside this
city.
Climbed 5000 Feet.
A. c.. Carly, manager of the fight,
stated that the flight would again be
attempted.
Capt. Tully said, 1--WE climbed 5000
feet and came down to so feet above
the water just beyond Toronto, and
proceeded on towards Kingston. We
could not get our bearings, and finally
decided that it was better to turn
back.
while the wind blew hard against
our windshield, the plane encountered
no difficulty"
1t is reported also besides the rain,
hail added to the troubles of the avia-
tors.
THE fog was so Dense" said Capt.
Tully. that when we passed Toronto
we could hardly see it,"
Teeming in Torrents.
Capt Tully's account Of flight wealth
err was duly confirmed by Flight Lieut..
w. F. Riddell of Camp Borden. who
was due at Crumlins Field at dawn to
act as escort for the Sir John Car
ling. 1t was not until $50 that he
managed to reach st. Thomas. On his
arrival he said: 1T was very dirty
weather. in fact, exceptionally dirty
weather. I have not often seen its
equal"
1T would have been sheer madness
to go on" said Pilot Capt. Tully to
correspondent at Crumlins Field. I'VE
got as far as Kingston, but the rain
was teeming in torrents against our
windows and in our instruments. Our
visibility was gone. and we could no
longer find our drift mark. 1t would
have been risking almost certain dis
aster to keep flying over land under
such conditions.
1t is not definitely known as yet
when Capt. Tully and Lieut.. Medcalf
will again essay to fly from London,
Ontario, to London, England.
The fight is not off by any means.

with us. This new lease settles the
lnatler for fifteen years. When
we consider the lease made with
this Company six years ago, which
provided for a minimum service
oil three round trips each day, with
10 night service, and the new con-
tract that provides for IA minimum
OF seven round trips during the
winter months and eleven round
trips during the summer months
1t appears the new contract is
very much better for the Island.
So far as service is concerned, than
the old one. Another advantage is
the better equipment the Island is
assured. FroIl the stuffy Wash
ington, with narrow shoots to AS.
ccnd and descend to the deck, and
cell-like windows to strain your
0eclt to get peak, to the mod
ern kitsap, which is the equal of
about any ferry afloat, is mighty
stride. While the rates are about
the same as the old contract pro-
yided, taken as whole this paper
feels the Island has lost nothing
and gained considerable in thi.i
rev contract. We believe the
Commissioners acted for the wei
fare Of the Island, and the com
Fittee of seven from the Island did

Commissioners consented to such
a modification of the lease as
would permit the abandonment of
the run into Marion street, but the
commissioners consented to such
evidently believing bus service
would be better than the run di-
rectly into the heart of the city.

A WARNING

Opposite the Harmeling place
lies another automobile in the
ditch. OF the occupants Mrs.
lloyle is mofr or less injured.
This is the fourth auto that has
gone off the road here into the
ditch the past few years. The
late McManus and William Field
went into the ditch at this place
two years ago both escaped ser
ious injury, though Macs face was
cut up some. SO far no deaths
have occurred. Would not this be
good warning and proper time
to fix up this little stretch of road
and that opposite Miss Need 5
place, and make them safes
Or must we wait until some one
is killed. This may happen any
time for there is much traffic on
this part of the highway. The
road bed is too narrow for autos
to pass each other. Strangers do
not know this. They meet. try TO
pass, and 90 into the ditchl

COMMISSIONERS SIGN
new FERRY CONTRACT

This week the Board of Count,
Commissioners, by unanimous vot,
entered into ii new contract witt
the kitsap County Transportation
on,pany which settles the ferry
service to and from the north enc
of Vashon island for fifteen years
The new contract goes into effect
on January 1st,, 1928.
Among other things this new
contract provides for minimum
service of three round trips daily
to the Marion street dock, and
four round trips daily to the
Fauntleroy dock. From May 15tl
to September 18th each year the
Company is bound to give at least
8 round trips to Fauntleroy. The
lease also provides for at least two
round night trips from the main
land to the Island each and every
day. One of these night trips pro
vides that the boat shall leave
Fauntleroy at midnight.
The only provision for the mod
ification of the lease is that should
the Company arrange for adequate
bus service from the island to the
heart OF Seattle, the Company may
change the three Marion street
trips to three additional trips to
and from Fauntleroy. In the
opinion of Commissioner Paul
such an arrangement would b. the
ideal plan 50 far as the interests of
Vashon island are concerned, as
il would permit passengers to
travel without change fro l. Wash
on Heights to the heart of the city
at the same rate they now pay
from Vashon Heights to Marion
Street, and the bus service would
lessen the time to and fro.
The lease provides for boat
equal in size, speed. and convcn-
fence to the present Kitsap to PLY
1T all times between the island and
the mainland.
Like the poor, it appears the
ferry question is one that Is ever
