BLUEJACKETS ATTACK SOCIALISTS SEATTLE HEADQUARTERS OF SO CIALISTS AND INDUSTRIAL WORKERS SACKED. A RIOT FOLLOWS SPEECH Secretary of the Navy Daniels Had De dared There' Was No Place for Red Flag in This Country. Seattle, Wash. A party of United States marines and sailors from the reserve fleet, most of the sailors wear ing the .name bands of the cruisers Colorado and California, started to "clean up the town," as they expressed it, by attacking Socialist and Indus trial Workers of the World headquar ters. A second party of men from the Pa cific reserve fleet attacked the big In dustrial Workers' headquarters on Washington street, in the southern part of the city. The contents of the buildings were dragged into the street and a bonfire made of them. A provost guard of fifty men from the fleet was hurried ashore in cut ters to arrest all the men ashore. Secretary of the Navy Daniels was dining on the curiser West Virginia, the guest of Admiral Reynolds at the time rioting began. About a dozen sailors, all young, were in the first wrecking party that got under way. They were aided by several members of the Washington naval militia and by a hundred civil ians, who had made most of the noise Waving United States flags the storm ing party swooped down on the cart news stand of Milard Price, a Socialist orator, at the intersection of Fourth avenue and West Lake boulevard, the busiest night corner of the city. The cart was broken to splinters in a mo ment, and the big stock of Socialist papers and magazines were torn, toss ed Into the street and jumped upon. Secretary Daniel of the Navy Depart ment addressed a banquet given at the Ranier club in his honor, and spoke in eulogy of the American flag and took occasion to praise the attitude of the mayor of Boston, who stopped a red flag parade. "The red flag has no place in this country," he said, "and believers in it have no place in this country. A mayor who does not enforce the law against the red flag is not fit to hold office, and people who believe in the red flag should be driven from the country." Mr. Daniels then passed on to eu logize President Wilson and closed his address amid great cheering. His red flag remarks occupied only a minute and those who observed him closely say that he had no intention, of mak ing them apply locally. However, word was passed about the street that the secretary had made a long address de voted to the two flags and had urged that all believers in the red flag be driven out of the country- HEAT WAVE STRIKES SOUTH Reports of Deaths and of Prostrations Come From Many Cities. Atlanta, Ga. The heat wave under which the southwest has sweltered the last few days pushed the mercury to 97 degrees In Atlanta, making a rec ord for the year. The minimum through the day was 76 degrees, higher than it has been this year. Reports from points throughout the south Atlantic states indicated intense heat from Virginia to Florida. The highest temperatures were recorded in Georgia towns. No deaths were re ported. At Macon, Ga., the mercury topped 104, the highest ever recored there. Street thermometers at Augusta, where there were five prostrations, registered 107 1-2. The government thermometer said 99. Charlotte reported 101 degrees, the hottest In twentyhre years. The max imum at Jacksonville was 96. It was 93 in Savannah. At Columbia the temperature was 99. In Knoxville there were six heat prostrations. In Indiana there were six deaths and numerous prostrations; to St. Louis three deaths were report ed and as many prostrations; Louis ville had five deaths and three pros trations, and from many other cities Wilson's Lit Ha Many Republican. Washington. A large number of nominations of consular officers will be transmitted to the senate soon. The list will include many of the names contained in the slate which failed of confirmation at the close of the Taft administration. It is said this list will be the first demonstration of the purpose ot President Wilson to continue the appUcation of civil serv ice principles In tie consular , service, as many of the officers named for pro motion are either Repablicans or of unknown political affiliations.

UNITED STATES REPLIES TO JAPAN AMERICAN REPLY TO LAST TWO JAPANESE NOTES ON CALL FORNIAN CONTROVERSY. NOTE DELIVERED TO CHINDA Believed This Country Has Said Last Word Regarding California Land Law. CARTER B. KEENE Questions at Issue to Be Arbitrated Under the Amended Erdman Act. Washington. Representatives of the 80,000 conductors and trainmen of Eastern railways who have voted to strike for higher wages and man aging officers of the railroads agreed at the white house to submit their dif ferences to arbitration under the pro visions of the Newiands-Clayton act, which President Wilson and congres sional leaders promised to make law. In the meantime no strike will be de clared, officials of the employees' bro therhoods agreeing to an armistice. This victory for arbitration over the strike was the result of a two-hour conference at the white house between President Wilson and congressional leaders, both Republicans and Demo crats, the presidents and managers of the railroads and representatives of the Brotherhoods of Trainmen and Conductors. The agreement not only averted, temporarily at least, the strike which threatened to tie up railroad traffic generally in the East, but smoothed out differences of opinion that had arisen in both houses as to the com position of the board of mediation and provided a permanent commission to deal with railroad disputes. Washington. The American reply to the last two Japanese notes on the California alien land law was de livered by Secretary Bryan to Am bassador Chinda, who at once cabled it to Tokio. As in the case of the preceding notes, contents of the lat est one were withheld from publica tion. There is some expectation in offi cial circles that the delivery of this last note will conclude the negotia tions on this subject between the two countries, for the present, least, if not altogether. It is declared that the American reply to the various points of objec tion to the California legislation has been made so complete as to remove most of them from the field of dis cussion. Even in cases where the Japanese contentions have not been manifestly completely negatived the exDert diplomatists are said to have so framed their responses as to re duce the points to clear issues which probably can be adjusted only on tne basis of Judicial decisions. The result has been reached through the exchange of five notes, the nego tiations beginning May 8 last, with thn orieinal Drotest by Japan against the projected alien land-owning act by the California legislature. inis elicited a reply from Secretary Bryan on May 19, or as soon as he had been advised of the actual signature of the Webb act by Governor Johnson. On June 4 the Japanese government filed its rejoinder and on July 3 this was supplemented by an elaborate ex pansion of the arguments. Unless the Japanese foreign office concludes that there is something in the American note delivered requir ing immediate attention and reply, probably there will be no further dip lomatic exchange for at least another month. At the expiration of that time the Webb alien land-owning act will become effective and the way will be opened for a judicial test of its consti tutionality. The state department is looking to the Japanese government to at least take the initiative In securing a judi cial determination of the question as to whether this act is in conflict with existing treaties or whether it violat ed privileges to which the Japanese are entitled under the broad princi ples of international law. W 0 M WILL INSPECT BOLL WEEVIL Party to Be Sent Out by Government From Athens, Georgia. Athens, Ga. The first scouting par ty sent out from Georgia by the Unit ed States government department to meet and study the dreaded approach ing cotton boll weevil, make a study of him so that he can be identified, and thn neonle of Mississippi and Louisiana are handling the situa tion this Insect enemy to cotton is creating will be projected from Ath ens. By direction of Bradford Knapp, heading the farm demonstration work ers of the South, and himself a stu dent at first hand o"f the weevil, has orromrori that all the farm demonstra tors of the Southwest tier of counties in the state which will be reacnea first by the weevil i, shall make a trip to the Infested, devastated re gions of Mississippi and Louisiana ana Alabama this month, J. Phil Campbell of this city is the head of the organization of demonstra tors, "special agent" to charge under the co-ordinated work of the govern ment and the .state college. He will go with the demonstrators. U. S. Powder Secrete Refused France. Washineton. Secretary Garrison has declined a request of the French gov ernment for permission -to nave some of Its ordnance officers inspect the processes of American powder mans, facture. The original request coven not -Only the government factories, but the great private corporations which make the larger part of the smoke less powder consumed by the govern ment. The secretary's declination as to the government factories was based upon the lack of reciprocity on the part of the French government Carter B. Keene, who has been pro moted to be chief of the poatal sav ings system, was born In Maine In 1868 and has been In the government service for many years. EUROPE PRESSES UNCLE SAM WANTS HER TO DECLARE INTEN TIONS IN REGARD TO MEX ICAN CONDITIONS. Situation Is Intolerable for Foreigner and Revolutionary Conditions Exist. TURKS INVADE BULGARIA Turkey Intends to Occupy Lot of Bul ger Terirtory. London, England. Both Turkey and Roumania are rapidly pushing the occupation of as much Bulgarian terri tory as" possible, not ostensibly with a view to permanent occupation, but in order to procure for themselves a weightier voice In the final settle ment. King Charles of Roumania has gone to join his army headquarters, the Turks have occupied Luleburgas, Bu nar Hissar and Visa and are march ing toward Kirk Kllisseh. The Greek army has occupied Nevrokop. The Servian and Greek premiers have held a meeting at Uskub and are agreed as to the terms to be imposed on Bulgaria. . Horrifying details of alleged Bul garian massacres and atrocities con tinue to pour in from Saloniki and the powers have appointed consular com missions to investigate these reports. Sofia. Turkish troops crossed the new frontier line between Bulgaria and Turkey, running from Enos, on the Aegean sea, to Mldia, on the Black sea. They already have pene trated nearly twenty miles into the Bunar Hissar region, the Bulgarian troops offering no opposition. The Christians to the district are alieged to be fleeing before the Turk ish troops, owing to their excesses. Washington. Administration offi cials admitted that the situation to Mexico and diplomatic Inquiries over Europe as to what the attitude of this country would be toward its neighbor on the south were engaging their deepest attention. Secretary Bryan had a conference with President Wilson and the fore most subject before them was the Mexican problem. Earlier it had been discussed at length at the cabinet meeting. It is stated that European diplomats stationed in Mexico have sent to their respective governments identical notes in which they declare that the position taken by the United States with ref erence to Mexico is contributing to revolutionary conditions and suggest ing that the representatives at Wash ington of the respective European countries be instructed to request rec ognition or that the United States as sume responsibility for affairs here. Mr. Bryan declined to say what the policy of the United States govern ment would be toward any European representations, but intimated that a pronouncement on the situation might be expected in a short time. It is known that the administration officials have been continuously op posed to recognition of the Huerta government until elections were held and it has frequently been stated in formally that recognition would not be extended until the - constitutional machinery in Mexico had been set to motion again to elect a new presi dent to succeed the provisional presi dent now acting.
