RIOTS MENACE IN MEX CAPITAL

Seports Say Famine and Anarchy Threaten Safety of Foreigners Stranded In City.

BED CROSS RELIEF TRAIN GETTING SUPPLIES THROUGH

Efforts to Be Made to Remove From Danger Zone Citizens of Other Countries Now Menaced By

Fighting.

WASHINGTON, July 2.—Relief measures for Mexico City continued today to occupy the attention of officials. Both President Wilson, at Cornish, N. H., and Secretary Lansifig, in Washington, had under consideration relief plans for the Mexican capital, where latest official advices said famine and anarchy threatened the safety of foreigners.

The relief measures included efforts to obtain Gen. Carranza's consent for 'the shipment of supplies into Mexico

City through neutral agencies and the removal of foreigners from danger zones of fighting through the influence of diplomatic corps there.

Red Cross Goes Through.

*The American Red Cross relief expedition for Mexico City has safetly passed Pachuca within the Carranza lines and has gone on toward Mexico City. Whether it has continued on through the Zapata defenses and into the capital does not appear in today's reports from Consul Silliman.

special train of twelve car

loads

of corn, which left Vera Cruz yesterday for Pachuca, destined for Mexico City, was accompanied by armed guards furnished by General Carransa. The latter expedition is thought here to be the one General Carranza expects to take into the capital If his treops enter. The state department's announcement today said: "The train was provided with an armed escort and was accompanied by W. P. Gavin, an American citizen. \Mr. Silliman states that the secretary of war and the railroad officials at

Vera Cruz grave special attention to the loading and transportation of this shipment, giving a preference over their own needs. ••Consul Silliman also advises that Consul-General Shanklm and C. JO'Connor, representatives of the American Red Cross, went to Mexico City on June 30 from Pachuca, taking •with them light freight but leaving heavier articles behind."

Gat Report of Riots.

There was no direct word today from Mexico City. The texts of reports telling of chaos and rioting that menaced foreigners will not be made public until after President Wilson has had an opportunity to thoroughly review them. All the important information coming to the state department regarding Mexico is being forwarded promptly to the president at Cornish.

It was said at the state department that while plans for sending supplies Into Mexico City through neutral agencies were under consideration they had not assumed "very definite form." Efforts to Induce General Carranza to permit sending supplies to the capital from Vera Cruz are to be made, It is said.

Hospitals In Mexico City are practically without surgical supplies, and the Red Cross delegation is taking In bandages, chloroform and drugs, in advance of the supplies of food which are being held up until there Is some assurance of transportation Into capital.

FRffl) WITH CAUTION

CdKttmied From Page One.

by Captain Gerhardt Monnlnger. He pleaded guilty at the trial. Nearly every member of the company attended the proceedings. The court was open to spectators and a hundred or more civilians watched the military proceedings. Lieutenant Talbott sat as judge in the case. Private McKenzie was charged with violating section 33 of the articles of war. Captain Monnlnger was the prosecuting witness.

In making his decision in the case, Lieut. Talbott announced that hereafter no suspended sentences will be given. "When a man Joins the Indiana national guard he Is not affiliating with any toy organization," he said. "Company has a big reputation in the state and only strict observance of regulations will maintain this standard. Private McKenzie has been in jail two days and has promised to attend drills regularly and on these conditions I am going to suspend his sentence. There sire three or four other members of the company who ore about to face charges unless a better attendance record is shown."

New Members Join.

After the court proceedings, four applications were made for membership in the company.

One of the features of membership In the local company is the sick benefit fund which was started several years ago. Company is the only company In the state that has such a fund. Each member of the company receives 20 cfsnts for attending drills and instead of drawing this money, the members of the company allow It to accumulate for a sick benefit fund. Members are paid $5 each week while under the care of a physician. There has been nearly $300 paid out of the fund since It was started.

Sunday and Monday the members of the company will participate In a sham battle at Forest park. The officers have ordered six thousand rounds of ammunition from Indianapolis and this will be used In the mimic warfare. It Is expected that about 60 members will take part in tho battle.

The members of the company and the officers are planning to attend the annual camp of instruction at Fort Benjamin Harrison, near Indianapolis. The camp will open July 25 for ten days. At the present Company has sixty-seven members and the officers are going to recruit the company to seventy before the camp.

BRITISH DESTROYER LOST.

LONDON, July 2.—The British ad miralty announced tonight that the torpedo boat destroyer Lightning had been lost and that fourteen members of her crew are missing. Although no mention I« made of the manner in which the Lightning was sunk, It is /presumed that she struck a mine or was torpedoed.

SUBURBAN DAY GAINS A PROMINENT PLACE

Merchants No Longer Doubt That Trading Event Has Earned Good Will of Shoppers.

Suburban day, with its multifold opportunities to the shopper, is proving to be one of the most popular sale projects which the merchants of this city have ever launched. They feel that their efforts have been met in the most enthusiastic manner possible by the residents of the near-by towns and of this city and due to this fact the day will be continued indefinitely.

Although its last appearance on Wednesday was not as successful as it has been on other oocaslons they, nevertheless, feel that the sterling qualities of the offers will, in the end, win for the day a place in the hearts of the careful buyer which will be hard to drive away.

The Suburban day project has now been going on for nearly two months and the merchants have every reason to be encouraged at the Increased showing which is being made in the stores at each succeeding occasion. With a few exceptions when weather conditions would not permit the travel on country roads the patronage on that day has increased to an appreciable extent. So much so that the merchants are now willing to make even greater offers which will bind the increasing confidence with which the out-of-town patron Is growing to regard the merchants of this city to a certainty. "The last occasion of the day was one of the best examples of what it can do for the city," said a leading merchant. "Not because the day was sc successful, for the crowds were not as large as they have been on former Suburban days, but In the attitude of those who did come to the city to purchase their necessities over our counters. At more than one time during the day I heard men and women speak of the real values which we were making. This kind of advertisement is the best that a city can possibly get. These satisfied people will go away from the city and they will spread tho news of what they saw here and In consequence their friends will come to the city on the following day. That Is human nature. Once anyone comes into our stores on Suburban day we have no fear but what he will be satisfied and will come back on some other day. What we want more than anything else is to bring to the city the biggest crowds that we can, for the bigger the crowd the more progressive the city will seem to those who come to the city on Suburban days."

CZECH LEADERS_ ARRESTED.

Two Are Wlllh lefng Friendly to Italy. LONDON, July 2.—The C*ech parliamentary leader, Dr. Kramarz, and Dr. Schreiner, head of the Bohemian gymnastic organization, were: arrested at Prague on May 22, charged with espionage and maintaining friendly relations with the Italian consul, according to the Times. The only compromising documents found In their possession are said to have been copies of a Czech review, published In Paris.

The Times asserts the two men are imprisoned in Vienna although false reports of their liberation have been spread officially In the hope of influencing the Czech population in. favor of the war loan.

The refusal of the Czech party to disavow its arrested leaders Is reported to have resulted in Archduke Frederick, commander of the Austrian army, addressing to Emperor Francis Joseph a report denouncing all Czechs as traitors. The Times contains the statement that several Czech regiments have deserted the Russians and Siberians.

RECRUITS FAIL TO PASS.

Navy Office Turns Down Many Enlistment Applications. Statistics of the local recruiting station show that out of flfty-etgnt applicants for admission into the navy, only eight were sent In to the main office at Indianapolis during the month of June. Of the fifty-eight, nineteen were rejected on account of physical unfitness, and the remaining thirty-one are being held over until they can produce their birth certificates, or in the case of minors, their parents' consent. The figures for May show about the same averages, with the exception that fewer men applied for admission. During that month, out of forty applicants, eleven were rejected for physical unfitness. twenty-three held over and six sent In to the main office.

Those who were approved by the local recruiting oflfloer during June were: Glenn Bartto and Oscar Bennett, both of Terre Haute Vernon Home, Sldel, lnd. Fred Chezeln and Harold Dennis, both of Tanglers, lnd. Cadel A. Post and Clarence M. Laughlin, of Charleston, 111., and Perl R. Fowler, of York, Illinois.

BIG CAR ORDER REJECTED.

Pullman Co. Declines to Build Plant In Russia. CHICAGO, July 2.—The recent refusal of the Pullman company to accept a huge order for railroad cars for the Russian government was explained today by an official of the Pullman company. The Russian agent who approached the Pullman company wanted 50,000 cars worth about $25,000,000. The Pullman company rejected the offer for two reasons, namely that pay was to be In Russian notes, and 40,000 of the cars were to be built at a plant which the Pullman company was asked to install in Russia. President Runnels, of the Pullman company, demanded cash, as he said was demanded of all customers, and declined to build a plant in Russia. The Russian agent was without discretion In the matter. He had his instructions and could not change them, and the deal fell through.

PARIS, July 2.—The sinking of the Bteamship Armohlan lias caused a stir in Paris, stress being laid upon the deaths of Americans on board the vessel.
