FIERCE RIOTS
AT CALUMET
Police Try to Serve Warrants
and Are Met With Hot Water
and Rod Pepper.
Calumet, Mich., Aug. 1.—When
a number of deputy sheriffs,
armed with warrants for the ar
rest of miners accused with riot
ing, rushed a boarding house
kept by a Hungarian and his wife,
at which many miners of the
same nationality boarded, they
were met with handfuls of red
pepper, which was thrown at
them by the women and men in
the building, and md being sat
isfied with that they threw hot
, water at the deputies, who tried
to effect the arrest of the men
desired.
The deputies were also set
upon by the mob of strikers from
other buildings and a free-for
all erfsued, with the sheriffs us
ing clubs freely and the strik
ers used rocks, hot water, pep
per and such other handy articles
as they could secure.
The arrival of soldiers put a
stop to the light and a number
of strikers were taken into cus
tody by the military authorities
and turned over to the police.
The orginal warrants were not
served.
Will Not Make Appropriation for
Exhibit—Germany Expected
Do Same.
Los Angeles, Aug. 1 .—Eng
land has announced its inten
tion of not participating in the
Panama Exhibition at San Fran
cisco in 1915 in honor ot the
opening of the canal.
It is also expected that GerT
many will refuse to make an ap
propriation for the fair because
both the English and German
governments consider the canal
tolls as announced by America
as unfair and that they discrim
inate in favor of American
shipping although under the
treaty with England, when the
work was commenced, it was
agreed that all nations should be
treated alike in the matter of ca
nal charges.

nent.
Meiico City, Aug. 1.— Presi
dent Huerta has recalled Gener
al Diaz from Los Angeles where
he arrived today and has directed
him to returtn to this city imme

MULHALL LIED
ABOUT LOBBY
So State the AUorn°ys of the
Association, Who Start the *
Cross-examination.
’ Washington, 1>. C., Aug. 1.—
The cross-examination of Martin
Mulhall, (he self-confessed lob
byist of the Manufacturers’. As
sociation, commenced today and
the manufacturers will attempt
to show that Mulhall was dis
charged some years ago; that he
acted on his own volition; furth
er, that the letters he wrote re
garding his socalled influence
over the members of congress
were self-serving; that he wrote
to his employers that he had se
cured this congressman’s assist
ance or that senator’s ear to jus
tify his enormous expense ae
cout, and that he had never
spoken to the legislators he wrote
about, and that, finding that Mul
hall was handing them the double
cross, he was discharged, and
that he manufactured the present
charges out of whole cloth.
The attorneys for the associa
tion admit that M llliall was em
ployed for some lime to aid them
in placing before congress the
desires of the business men com
posing the association, but that
they had never tried nor counten
anced the attempts at blackmail
confessed to by Mulhall.

PRESIDENT AGAINST
AIDING HUERTA
In Spite of Ambassador Wilson’s
Request—Americans Must
be Protected by Mexico.
.Washington, D. C., Aug. 1.—
President Wilson, in spite of the
continued requests of Ambassa
dor Wilson and the plea of the
Mexican ambassador here, refus
es to recognize the Huerta gov
ernment, claiming that to do so
is to place a premium on revolu
I ions.
Democratic senators on the
foreign HclaDmis eoinmitl.ee, af
ter a conference with the chief
executive,''are of the same opin
ion and assert Dial to hack down,
to Huerta because the latter
claims I hat Americans in Mex
ico will he murdered unless he
is given aid by the United States,
means the ruin of our relations
with the Dal in-American coun
tries.
The administration claims
that Americans musl be protect
ed in Mexico and that no threat
will suffice to force this govern
ment into doing what il does not
consider right and strongly in
timates that Huerta is a mur
derer and a traitor and does not
d serve any support from us.
