Raber admitted that he was "in on

He said it was not intended to cause
her death, and that he did not know
until the following morning that ahe
had succumbed. Raber's guarded state

merely rendering her unconscious while
the place was ransacked for the Jew

j WASHINGTON, July Strong rep
resentations, the most drastic in phra«
eology made since the present American
administration came into power. W«re
made to the Huerta government in
Mexico today.
The United States government de
manded not only the prompt arrest,
courtmartia! and punishment of th»
j Mexican federal soldiers who yesterday
i shot Charles R. Dixon, an American lna
j migration official in Juarez, but the im
mediate release of Charles Blssell and
Bernard McDonald, mining managers
imprisoned by federal soldiers In Chi
huahua and threatened with execution.
So serious were tHese incidents re
garded in official circles that they over
shadowed largely the policy which the
visit of Ambassador Henry Lane Wil
son had brought to a climax;
; WILSON WIRES ORDER*
The ambassador was so exercised
over the developments in Mexico that
he dictated two strong telegrams, one
to the embassy in Mexico City and the
other to the American consul in Jnares
j and while Secretary Bryan slightly
j modified their tone, they were approved
j and promptly dispatched.
Ambassador Wilson declined to dis
cuss the affair, but he probably Will
j explain his views on such happenings
j when he meets President Wilson to
j morrow afternoon for a general ex
planation of affairs in Mexico.
The president had Ambassador Wll
! son's long report in hand today, studied
lit carefully, and after an early con
i ference tomorrow with Mr. Bryan wil!
jbe prepared to inquire of the amtrtLS
i sador what remedies he would sugges*.
In the meantime, the ambassadc"
would give no inkling of the recom-
I mendation he had in mind beyond V *
| general statement that his plan would
I conserve the friendly relatione betwer-s
| Mexico and the United States and pro
tect likewise the Interests of Amer
icans in the southern republic,
i DEMAND \OT REQUEST
The ambassador's long experience
{with such outbursts against American
citizens will make him an Important
factor in whatever policy is adopte<l
toward the Huerta government on ac
count of the developments in Juarez
and Chihuahua.
The demand that the Juarea soldiers
be courtmartialed and that the guilt;
be punished is a much more pointed
request than has been hitherto voiced
by the American government. Although
McDonald, who is Bissell's fellow pris
oner, iS reported to be an English sub
seject. the demands for protection cov
ered both men. and the American con
sul in Chihuahua was ordered to go
to the extreme of precaution to pre
vent harm from befalling them.
Secretary Bryan was at the state de
partment for a short time today con
ferring with subordinate officials in the
Latin-American division. « He stated
later that the telegrams ordering an
investigation constituted the only ac
tion that would be tak«n for the pres
ent, but that the American government
intended to pursue its inquiries, vigor
ously.
REFUGEE* WA H V OF FiTK

Sof the Juarez shooting were re«.e. fed

i There is little Information about the

: chine was confiscated and the men
