Mexico City Scene Of Pitched
Battle Between Police And Mob
Mob Attempts To Storm Municipal Building To Protest
Against Aldermen List Of Dead Stands At 17 Federal
Troops Called To Quell Disturbances.
MEXICO CITY, Dec. 1. (By the As
sociated Dress) Federal troops guard
ed u badly buttered municipal building
today while the city counted the casual
ties of a pitched battle between the po
lice anil a mob .which attempted to
storm the building hiwt --night. - 'flu:
death list - as a result of the' fighting
stood at 17 early today while lx per
sons are known to have been seriously
injiued and three rlightly hurt. Jt was
thought that a check might reveal fur
ther casualties.
The city, after a night of wild ex
citement,' found its main plaza before
the municipal building a shambles t
broken glass, timbers and stone evi
dence of the auger of tho mob which
j forced its way into tho building half
i an hour after the police rifles had bceu
taken their toll.
The trouble, which lasted for more
than six hours, started when a crowd
inarched to teh pity hall to protest
against the aldermen 'who lire held re
sponsible for conditions leading to the
water famine. The demonstration was
intended by the labor unions that or
ganized it as a peaceful protest, and
several hundred persons.- paraded the
duwiisown streets before proceeding to
the hall to voice their adverse senti
ments against the city government.
These prot slants were reinforced along
the route and when the municipal build
ing was reached the crowd numbered
more than 2.000 persons. '
Ydling invectives against the alder
men, the mob gave emphasis to its words
by hurling- stynes and other missiles.
Whnien one leader suggested that the
hall be entered, the demonstrators niad"
a concerted ruslu forward. The pblio?
ijuar ls met their advance by firing their
rifles over the heads of the crowd, whiclt
however," diil not check its course. Whea
it became apparent that the mob would
enter the building despite the 'police the
latter aimed their rillcs point blank and
tired with deadly effect.

Ni:V YOIUC, Pee. I. Members

death last night of William Goo.lsell
Rockefeller, son of the late William

Yale-Harvard football game last Satur
day. Avery Rockefeller, a freshman at

Tho movement has fjcen under way
siuco early, in the summer, when it be
camo apparent that crops would be short
and that . conditions in industrial cen
ters were improving, according to S. II.
McLean, district passenger,' agent fur
tho Southern railroad. The majority, 'he
said, are farm hands, discouraged
through .inability to make money from
their eotton t-rops due to boll weevil
conditions. He said that there wis no
indication that northern employers. were
soliciting labor ill lliis section of the
south at least.
W. E. McGce, division engineer for
the Southern railway, stationed here,
says that thu exodus is general and that
in his opinion'it is increasing.
"3t is distinctly an individual of
ulmiist a family group movement,"
said Mr. McGee, 'and it is byo means
confined to South Carolina. For in
stance, we picked up from the Central of
Georgia, one one train recently, 4!l per
sons bound north,"
strators retired, carrying with them
their dead and injuried.
But in half a uhour they returned and
several, of their number, breaking win
dows, entered the hall and be'uu to
set fire to its contents.
Valuable documents, some of whicu
tinted back several centuries, were tossed
into the streets and the city records were
given to the winds.
By this time the federal troops had
arrived but the intruders were not eject
ed before the building had been tired
in many places and the furniture wrick
ed. A line of hose, which the fire de
partment was able to bring into play
despite the water shortage, was success
ful in holding back the crowds outside.
Several sflKiradic attempts to continue
the demonstration were made in the suc
ceeding hour, but when the demon
si rants returned to the attack they found
a cordon of several hundred soldiers
about the building and contended them
selves with jeering and hooting officials
in general, including some of the mem
bers of the federal government.
Thus baffled in their attempts to re
enter the hall, several small groups f
citizens marched through the streets
committing minor deprodatons. They
called on all the newspaper oilices and
hooted mid yelled before the residences
of the city ofticials.
The chamber of deputies adjourned
when it received news of tho sanguinary
encounter in the main plaza and a heavy
guard was thrown around the building.
The residences of all aldermen were al
so under the protection of federal trops
throughout the night.

WASHINGTON. Dec 1. Anti

Wayne li. Wheeler, general coun-el
(f the organization, announcing ila
that re rescntative (if the league and

the district of 'Columbia had voted
unanimously at a meeting to fight smdi

"We believe this movement for a so
called scientific. cunnnis -ion, initiated
by wet iutere'sts many mouths ago, is
not designed to work out a solution of
the law enforcement problem," con
tended Mr. Wheeler, "but on the other
hand to confuse the issue, break down

effectively.

The dispute between Trim-ess tlermme

arisen over the question of whether tik'
kaiser should confine himself to Doom
castle. The former emperor's bride fa
vored .inure freedom of movement for
her husband, but this was contrary to
the wishes of vou Moltke, who is re
garded as responsible for the virtual im
prisonment of Wilhelm within the gar

several times' in the town of Doom. Tie;
kaiser ha been frequently seen with her
in parts of the grounds and it is ex

him to accompany her on trips to the

Another change in the household

t fate," said Mr. J'nrker. "There, arc
no real cities. The towns depend entire

constructive plan toward helping th.
farming interests as they vvthld for u fat"
less deserving and essential industrial
interest in their limited city district?
"As soon as the farmer gets a real
start toward an organization of the same
kind and purpose, that the city enjoys,
the selfish business interests say lt can't
be done; it must not be done. This de
structive propaganda is started. Money
for the a lit i ' work becomes ph-titiful,-whereas
that for aid of the deserving

automobile more than the farmer? Who
would criticize the farmer for wanting
to save a few cents by offering his hnrd

has the most frequent and largest turn
