It has been left mi entirely to Mr. Liud's discretion upon ill ' whom to call. While there is nothing j If in Mr. Lind's instructions which would ft present him from calling-on Provision aljl a I President Huerta, it not regarded Wf that he would do so unless the latter jJf had indicnted hjs desire to receive the HI j uuoflicial envo3', i I International Aspects. , It Certain international aspects of the situation here gave added interest to wf Mr. Lind's mission in Mexico. It he- : m came known that Japan, which had Hf hitherto recognized the Hnerta govern- Ql meat had practically decided not to re- mn ceivo General Felix Diaz, special embas- Jfflj i sador to expross thanks for the partici- Ifil . patlon by Japan in Mexico's centennial fflR a vcarB aeo.

You take the cake, You make mo ache. Tie a rock to your neck Ami go Jump In the lake. Do this for liberty's sake. The words were sung to the tune of "It Looks JLlko a Big Night Tonight." The men who had planned to stop the mealing stood by and undor their breath sang the real words to tho tune. Thoy knew that the real words were the more significant. Speaker Derides Steele. After tho speaker had taken tho plat form he said: "There Is one man that Is missing In this crowd. Ho Is tho one man whom I would like to take by the neck and hug." The words were said sarcastically and Axel Steele muttered that Morgan would soon get tho opportunity to "hug." When the speaker mentioned the "so called American government, " Steele strode to the center of the crowd and ripping the I. W. -W. banner from Its mooring unfurled the American flag. Ho swung a blow for Morgan, but ono of the band In tho rear hit first. Morgan was unceremoniously dragged from Ills posi tion to bo mot by Bcveral blows on the face. Fight Starts; Shots Fired. The figlti had' started. The crowd surged and Axol Steele's men battled as comrades of old. Scarcely ten seconds had elapsed until tho shooting began. Then tho crowd mado a rush for places of safety. Among the few left wore seen thQ Injured. The wieldcr of tho revolvor fired live shots. FA-ery shot took effoct and one shot must have hit two men. Axel Steele was a consplouous figure. After tihe trouble ho walked up nnd down through tho crowd, asking If thoro was anyonu else who wanted to shoot n citi zen or say anything against the Ameri can flag. Nobody Interrupted him and he made no effort to excite trouble. Tho gun that Murphy dropped In try ing to escape wns picked up hy Bernard Rich, 21 East Second South street. He dodged Into his placo of business, al though several tried to get the gun from him, nnd locked tho door. Later ho de livered tho gun to Motorcycle Patrolman W. H. Hendrickson. who took it to po lice headquarters. The gun evidently had Just been fired five tlme. T. D. Price, who first Intercepted tho rtcelng man, gavo the following acoount of tho affair: I was standing near when the speaicor waw pulled down from the box and, when the shooting started, It seemed that every time the fellow aimed at me. Only ono bullet found mo and I didn't know that I was hit until I (had Murphy In tho saloon. 1 rushed at him ana followed him as bo ran Ho dodged Into Mulvoy's sa loon with me right behind' him and Just after he got through the second swinging door I clinched with him and succeeded in holding him until Patrolman Wire came. Finger Shot. When the excitement started I toad a revolver In my pocket, but no shells and I lost It In the scrap. I "eroaked" the gun about two weoks ago and bad Just got It and of course when the pawnbroker gave It back to mo lie didn't glvo mo any ammunition and I had nbne. I suppose I lost the gun when running across the street, . but I didn't miss it or notice Hint tho ond of my finger was ehot off until after I had Murphy. Judge .T. B. Wilklns. a lawyor, was one of tho few arrested during tho riot who succeeded in being roloosed. "When the Judgo was taken before the police cap tain the latter admitted that the arrest ing patrolman had been haety and told the attorney he could go. Says City Is Liable. .According to tho Judge, tho city laid Its-elf llablo for damages by turning tho fire hose on persons standing on the sidewalk, as such an act Is a legal as sault. Speaking of bis arrest, ho said. In company with Roy Barrett and A. "West. I wns utandlng on tho south side of Second South street. Just east of the "Wilson hotel, watch ing thr excitement, I never dreamed that the firemen would turn the hone that way. They started it to ward us and at the same time a policeman grasped mo roughly by the shoulder and started shoving me. As I was not in the street I resented this and told him so. Then another policeman, Motorcycle Officer W. 7T. Hendrickson, stepped up and placed me under arrest. "When he learned that 1 was not an I. W. W1., he wanted to release me, but I Insisted upon being taken to Jail. At tho station Hendrickson explained that the first patrolman had undoubtedly been hasty and that a hasty remark from "Wilklns caused him to make the ar rest. "Wllkins was released. In tho excitement sevoral other Inno cent persons wero taken into custody, but were released as soon as the policemen found they wero not disturbers. Mem bers of the police departmont suffered speoch to President Huorta, enoouraged administration officials to believe that tho foreign powers would givo their moral support to tho efforts of Presi dent "Wilson through, constitutional pro cesses to influonco tho restoration, of peace in Mexico, The administration Las decided to keep foreign governments fully in formed as to various steps taken, nnd while Mr. Lind talked with Minister Gamboa today it is not considered likely that tho note expressing the view of tho United States government will be presented' for several days, eith er to the Huerta government or to for eign nations. Two Vessels Started. Within the last forty-eight hours tho navy department has started two light draft vessels for Vera Cruz to aid in the work of picking up Americans along the east coast of Mexico desiring to return home. Tho nav- now has on the eastern Mexican coast tho battle ships Louisiana, Michigan and New Hampshire, tho cruiser Wheeling nnd collier Neptune at Vera Cruz:, and tho battleship South Carolina at Tampico; and on the west coast the armored cruiser Pittsburg, supply ship Glacier and collier Justin at Guaymas, and the auxiliary cruieer Buffalo' and gunboat Yorktown at Topolochampo.

Tho Matin having cnbled Presidont Hnerta that some anx iety had been caused by dispatches re coivod hero concerning tho relations between tho United States and Mexico, has received tho following message from Mexico City: "Anxiety ovef tho relations- of Mex ico with the United Stntoi? aro without foundation. V. ITUEItTA." about as much from the water as did oth- era nnd there was many a wet uniform at the station. . About half an hour after the cxclto ment had stnrted, as a reporter was rushing through an alley leading from Commercial street about half a block from tho scene of the trouble, he stum bled over what appeared to be the pros trato body of a man. Visions of a wounded man crawling away to die flashed through his mind as he fumbled for some matches. Just then a swamper came from n nearby saloon, and togethor they lifted tho man to aslttlng position and held him thr until they could look him over with the light of the matches. "Ilo seems all right," said thn re porter. "Yes, only he is intoxicated," answered tho experienced swamper, as he shook the man vigorously. "Don't you know there has boon shoot ing here?" tho drowsy man was asked, and the question seemed to sober him In stantly. Glancing hastily around, bo asked If ho was to bo shot. "No," was the answer, "but thcro was some shooting down the street a minute ago." The half Intoxicated man turned on his companions with a look of con tempt. "Didn't I know they wero shooting?" ho cried. "I was right thero when the shooting started and I got under covor. They weren't going to got ".Tack" Kelly If ho could got away. And then I guess T went to sleep whon I lay down." Laws on Rioting. The state laws mako a specific pro vision In reference to rioting, dcllnlng a riot as follows In section -1801, chapter 3G: Any use of force or violence, dis turbing the public peace or any threat to use such forco or vlolonce If ac companied by Immediate power of execution by two or more persons acting together and without author ity of Jaw. is a riot. The penalty for engaging In a riot is not moro than two years In tho state prison or a line of $1000, or both. Tho oct of Inciting a riot Is given by both thn state law and city ordinance as rout. Remaining at the scene of a. riot after having been ordered to disperse and the act of making threats or incit ing riot are both classed as misdemean ors. The city ordinances contain a section prohibiting speechmaklng to which there is an excoptlon. The section is as fol lows: Ordinance No. 1205. Speechmaklng on streets pro hibited Exception: It shall bo unlawful for any per son to hold, conduct or address any assemblage, mooting or gathering of persons or to mako or deliver any public speech, sermon, lecture or dis cussion or to conduct or take part In any publlo debate or discussion In or . upon any public street or allov within tho city of Salt Lake, except such persons shall have first obtained a permit In writing so to do from the board of commissioners. Banner Disappears. The stand on whioh Morgan was speak ing when the riot was started was taken to tho police Btation where It will be held as ono of tho exhibits In the case. The banner ueod by tho organization dis appeared In tho excitement. At St. Mark's hospital at an eailv hour this morning It was reported that Clifford's wounds had boon dressed by Di ll. IB. Sprague, assistant city physician, and that tho man was resting easily with an excellent chanco for recovery pro vided no complications occur latar, al though amputation of his left leg may bo noeessary. The eceno at the pollco station during tho riot and after tho wounded had been brought to tho emeigcncy hospital has probably never before boon equaled. Drs. Samuel G. Paul, H. B. Sprague and R. w. Ashley of tho city health department wore In their shirt sleeves attending to tho wounded. Patrolmen acted as aides. Seated on the bperating table In the center of the Bmall room was Morgan, the I. W. W loader. While his head was being dressed and with blood flowing down his checks and onto his nock he graphically described tho riot in his own way. Blames Steele. 'Steele Is tho cause of It all," he shouted. "ITo jsiJd ihc would mako me quit speaking and break up tho meeting and he has done fio. Ilo was tho cause jbf the shooting and tho blame for the wholo thing." Ovor and ovor ho repeated the forego ing statement. One of the doctors aBked him to lie down while his scalo was being sewed together. Morgan loolccd around. "Has everyone elao been attended to,"' he said. "My head hurts, but theso other follows should be given attention first." Dr Paul was among the first of the city physicians to arrive at tho station. Whon tho riot started Dr. Paul was down town and attracted: by tho noise. Shoot ing on a downtown street usually means work at the police station, so the phy sician figured, and he Etarted for head quarters, going east on Second South to ward tho scene of the trouble Tho first thing he saw was bloody tracks on the sidewalk. And tho doctor followed tho tracks. They wore those of Schottl, Uhe man who hod boon shot through the fleshy part of tho right leg. Schottl never waited for the police am bulance to arrive, but walked all the way to the station. And Dr. Paul followed and trailed him to tho emergency hospital. Schottl was the first of tho wounded to arrive and Dr. Paul was tho first of the physicians. And Schottl was tho first of the Injured to havp his wounds dressed. INCREASE SIZE OF PUBLICITY COMMITTEE A mooting of tho publicity bureau of tho Oommorcial club was held yes terday afternoon, and, at tho sugges tion of "Wesley King, chairman of the finance committee, that committee was increased from five to eleven men. The original committoo consisted of Joy H, .Tohuson. Charles Tj-ng, W. Ii. Wallace, H. G. Whitney and Mr. King, and the names added aro thoao of Malcolm Me Alliator, D. S. Spencor, E. O. Howard, W, JX Child, Goorgo Austin and O. L. KJox. Tho members of the committee will moot at 12:30 o'clock Thursday afternoon to complete plans for in creasing tho publicity fund to $30,000 a year. Mr. King asked for ten days ad ditional time in which to prepare his report, "and this was granted. In order to do moro, it was docidod that here after the committoo would meet the second nnd fourth Wednesday of each month, the first.' of the Wednesday meetings to be August 27. RAILROAD AD MEN TO RETURN TODAY Tho railroad advertising men, who went to tho Yellowstone park a wock ago aftor visiting for several days in Salt Lake Citj', will return hero today. Some of the men said before leaving that thoy would be here for a day or two on the return. Will G. Farroll, secretary of tho Commorcial club, said last night that he understood tome of the mcn had asked for Pullman reser vations for Friday, which would indi cate that they would bo horc until then. URGE BROADER LOAN SECURITY EORJRIRS Insurgent Democrats Want Warehouse Receipts Used for Credit in Federal Reserve Banks. WASHINGTON, Aug. 12. Tho fight of so-called "Insurgent" Democrats to broad en the power of farmers and cotton ralsors to use warehouse receipts as eecurlty for credit with tho proposed federal reserve banks, dominated today's caucus of the Democratic members of tho Iioubo ovor tho Glass curroncy bill. Representatives Neeloy of Kansas, Win go of Arkansas and Eagle of Texas, all advocates of tho proposed extension of agricultural credits. held tho floor throughout the day, with frequent Inter ruptions by Representative Gloss and oth er supporters of the administration meas ures. Tho "Insurgent" forces claimed to night to have secured some added strength during tho day. Defends Measure. Chairman Glass again defended tho bill on the ground that It gave tho farmer amplo power to use his warehouse re ceipts as security for redlscountablo notes, provided ho wanted money for bona fide agricultural operatlona. The amend ment demanded by the "Insurgents" would mako warehouse receipts spoclflcally le gal as security for redlscountablo loans; and the administration forces Insisted that such amendments would lead to wide spread speculation and that tho ware house receipts would pass Into the banda of a few big spooulators, who would dom inate the wheat, corn and cotton markets and manipulate prices. A vote on tho bill Is not expected bo fore tho end of tho wock. Echoes of tho houso "monoy trust" investigation wero heard throughout tho day. Representa tives Nocley and Wingo used tho les sons of the money trust Inquiry to sup port tholr demand for amendments to pro vent Interlocking boards of directors and Interlocking Etockholdors In national banks. Notification Issued. Republican Leader Mann has notified all absent Republican representatives to return to Washington by August 15 with a view to being prepared for tho intro duction of the- administration currency bill In tho house and to attend a Joint Republican caucus. Many members have been away for weeks, whllo the house Is marking time pending the sonato con sideration of the tariff and the framing of .tho currency bill In tho houso. There will be a Joint caucus of Republicans of both tho senate and tho houso as soon as the now absent members are gathered again at the cnpltol, to tieloCt members of tho Republican congressional commit too for the coming campaign. SOCIALISM 10 II D1CES1 SCORED MILWAUKEE, Wis.. Aug. 12. Social ism, Immoral dancos, anti-Catholic press reports and tho action of mine owners In Lead, S. D., were scored today In tho adoption of resolutions during the after noon session of tho American Federation of Catholic Societies. Delegates representing tho 3,000,000 Catholic members of tho various socie ties voted unanimously to telegraph Mrs. Phoebo A. Hearst of Pleasanlon, Cab, mother of William Randolph Hearst, as chief owner of certain mining properly In Lead; to wire J. B. Ilaggln of New York, as president of the samo. and to F. J. Gucr of Lead, superintendent, em phatically protesting against the ab normal conditions In Lead, which, tho federation claims, Impedes tho work of religion and has caused Bishop Joseph F. Buseh to be exiled from the see city of bis diocese- Every suggestion by tho various resolu tions committee was adopted without pro test until a committee recommended "the good work of publications llko the Com mon Cause, Live Issue, Central Blatt and Social Justice, published In the In terest of true social reform." Tho mention of these papers brought down a scoro of objections from tho pub lishers, editors and friends of various other periodicals. After a spirited debate of nearly an hour the resolution sug gested was adopted by a narrow mar gin. The convention decided to petition tho president nnd congress, asking that the United States make a. vigorous pro test against the despoliation of the church properties In Portugal, a subject which, was brought to tho attention of the convention by tho Rev. Joseph Hus sleln, S. J.. of New York city. The growth of the . Catholic education system and tho high school Idea wero approved. An appeal for stato aid of Catholic schools was voiced In tho resolutions, as was tho a'dmittanco of Catholic books and literature In public libraries. Eu genics, or sex hygiene, and tho idea of centralization of educational agencies wero discouraged. The formation of a national Catholic Womon's league, after a strenuous cam paign of two years, after receiving tho hearty approval of Archbishop Meosmer of Milwaukee and after almost being a re ality, was given a sudden blow today when It was decided behind closed doors that the women should not form a lengue but remain mourners of tho Amer ican Federation of Catholic Societies, a federation which Included men and wom en. Archbishop Messmer's decree that woman suffrage must not be discussed In the meetings Is said to bo tho chief reason for the split in tho movement of the women. A majority of- tho dele gates to the meeting are reported to have been In favor of tho woman suf frage and did not look kindly upon the dictation of Archbishop Mcssmer that suffrage be excluded from the league de ba tes.

MRS. SULZER TAKES Bill FOR TROUBLE (Continued from Pago Ono.) that the prooeedlngs wore out of order under section 1 of tho constitution. The point was overruled by the chair. "Nobody Is crucifying William Sulzer," shouted Assemblyman "Cuvllller, the next speaker. "Ho has crucified himself. If he wero Impeached he would not daro go on tho witness stand. We don't want to impeach Sulzor. Wo should much pro for that he come beforo the bar of his houso and explain theso chargos away but ho can't." To this Assomblyman Glbbs retorted: "Let not those men who have prepared to sacrifice William Sulzer for their own advantago put, on a cloak of hypocrisy and shed crocodile tears. Everybody knows that the reason that Sulzer is be ing demanded as a victim Is that ho bail tho manhood to refuse to bo tied to tho wheels of a certain political chariot." Question Legality. Mr. Glbbs added that In the history of American government no public official bod been Impeached for offenses commit ted prior to his taking public office "Why impeach tho governor If ho has committed a crime?" he asked. "Are not our courts sufficient to deal with such a matter. T assert that If the gov ernor had been guilty of murder prior to his taking office he could not bo 'Im peached therefor. "You may control tho legislature for a few years. Legislators conic and go, but tho people are always with us. It will all como but why tho Democratic organi zation In New York has put Itself back of this affair. The men who are trying to drivo the governor out of office arc promoters of a vicious? political system. If they Impeach the governor they will at the same time impeach the Domocratb party. Maybe they have done so already," CLAYTON IS MHMED TO SEHATE VACANCY (Continued from Pago One.) slon of the legislature were convened. It would roulre considerable time before proper legislation could bo obtained.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12. Sonator Kern declined to glvo any opinion tonight as to Mr. Clayton's eligibility to the senate. As chairman of the committee on privi leges and elections, Senator Kern would have to preside over any contest that might bo started and review any objec tions that might be filed after Mr. Clay ton appears with his senatorial creden tials. "This Is an entirely new question," said Senator Kern, "and very fow of us have had time to look Into It or form any defi nite opinion. DIAZ NOT TO SAIL FOR JAPAN TODAY VAJNCOUVETR, B. C, Aug. 12. General Felix Diaz will not sail tomorrow bv the Empress of Russia for Japan. Instead, he will, with his party, tour Quebec Lon don, Paris, Berlin.

As an explanation tho Mexican special envoy says that owing to telegraphic Instructions from Mexico City ho had been forced to change his plans. Ho will leave for Quebec on the Canadalan Pa cific railroad Imperial limited tomorrow. "You must not suppose that our change of plans has anything whatever to do with the press dispatches from Toklo to the effoct that tho government of Japan had refused to recognize our mission t-ave that as Individuals," said General Diaz "Wo aro acting on direct instructions from Mexico City and these aro that we go to Quebec Instead of Yokohama, and then proceed to London, Paris Ber lin, Vienna and St. Petersburg, reaching Japan by the trans-Siberian railway." SCHOOL CENSUS LESS INSTEAD OF GREATER That an actual loss occurred in the school population of Salt Lako Citv during the last year was discovered b" tho board of education last night when tho reports on tho annual census re cently completed were presented. The reports show a not increase in the city of 386 children, an unusually light increase as compared to that of othor years, but whon it is figured that the addition of ForeBt Dale to tho city proper this year added moro than 500 children to the school population it is apparent that instead of a gain there I was an actual loss of nearly 150 in the ' city proper, exclusive of tho newf suburb. f J"-.' f faot ,that tho census oosh?MSd a nefc -'ain of more JanA3,9 children ovor that of 1913 the falling off in this year's census camo as an astounding sGrpriso to the board mombora, who aro absolutely 4t a loss to account for the decrease. 7 1 , Thft Surbnic Co..
