NEW CONSTITUTION ATTRACTS RADICALS Government Officials Gather Evidence Showing Distribu tion of Red Propaganda in America Via Mexico. Washington, Nov. 14. Disclos ures of large orders for arms and ammunition placed by Mexico in Europe were followed by revelations tending to show that the "reds' un derground line" from soviet Russia to the United States runs by way of Mexico. It became known that the immi gration service and the Department of Justice both are concerned at the influx of Russian radicals and other aliens of "red" tendencies over the Mexican border. Furthermore, gov ernment agents have traced much red propaganda over the Mexican line. A letter written October 23, by. Raymon P. De Negri, Mexican con sul general in New York, to Flavia Borquez, a Mexican senator, endors ing the principle of "nationalization" has come into .the hands of the gov ernment and already has been called to the attention of the State depart ment by at least two senators as showing De Negri's association with "radical socialists" in the United States. Embarrassing Situation. In the opinion of officials here the publication of the letter may lead to an embarrassing situation. It is known that the senators who called the attention of Secretary Lansing to it recommended cancellation of the consul general's exequators. Government investigators hae re ported that radicals seemed to have been first attracted to Mexico by certain so-called "ultra-modern ' provisions of the new constitution. De Negri is his letter writes that "only Russia by nationalizing lands has gone further than we have." Agents Have Been Busy. Government agents also have gathered evidence showing distribu tion of red propaganda in the United States through Mexican sources and this is expected to be shown pub licly soon. ' Secretary Lansing explained to day that a diplomatic inquiry had been made at Brussels respecting the placing of munitions orders by Mexico in Belgium. The govern ment adopted that course rather than that of a protest and is now satisfied that no shipments are to be made. . The extensive orders placed by Mexico in Spain, Secretary Lan sing refused to discuss, although t is known that the government has full knowledge of them and it is ex pected that a satisfactory means will be found to prevent others. The international arms conven tion, irt violation of which the re cent shipments have been made Is as yet an unpublished document. It is understood here that it was signed in Paris on September 14, by the signatories to the league of nations covenant and provides that no na tion which intends to become a member of the league may permit shipments of arms while the world is passing through the transition pe riod from war to peacei-' , - Charge Woman Killed Ranchman Who Was Attentive to Sister Marysville, Cal., Nov. 44.

' DUB PUSSYFOOT "GOOD SPORT" IN "LUNNON TOWN" American Prohibitionist Who Rode Plank Thursday Usurps Newspaper Headlines. London, Nov. 14. William E. ("Pussyfoot") Johnson, the Ameri can prohibitionist whose campaign in England was rudely interrupted Thursday by a band of students, to day as a result of his attitude to ward the adventure is one of the most talked of and popular figures of the'day. He commanded the big gest headlines in today's newspapers and the general verdict of the' head lines written was that he is a "good sport." Mr. Johnson) could not have de sired a better advertisement than Thursday's incident for his cam paign against the liquor traffic, and his future public appearances likely will command attention by reason of the fact that he has announced himself as considering the hazing he underwent a good joke. The students who marched about with htm yesterday, upsetting traffic in a goodly part of the west end now propose to tender Mr. Johnson a banquet and present to him their tributes of respect. The opposition to the Anti-Saloon league organizer in London, it is siid, has been based on the feeling that it was impertinent for an Amer ican prohibitionist to come across seas to lecture the English on what they should do.

"I'll tell you, gentlemen, -efforts have been made to engraft things in this case that would have dis graced the old North Side state criminal court. "Reports continue to come to me Nfrom the homes of jurors that per sons representing incnisoves as federal agents still continue to an noy the jurors' families.". "Richard""H.

Declaring that the Washington wage agreement still is legally -in force, Mr. Wilson told thf operators and miners that the people of the United States were not "Shylocks" and do not want to exact "the tech nical provisions of a bond when the conditions under which the bond was made have changed." He added that "if any great change is made in the Contracts the people of the United Mates are the ones who will have to pay" and throughout his remarks emphasized the public'interest in the coal settlement. The three proposals expected to aid the two factions in arranging the new wage agreement were set forth by the secretary as follows: Three Proposals.

' " v UNION PLAN IN V ESCH RAILROAD BILL ADOPTED Workers Score Victory in House Compulsory Arbi tration Rejected. Washington, Nov. 14. Railway workers scored a. complete victory in the house- today through incor poration of their plan for voluntary conciliation of labor disputes in the Esch bill. The house rejected a plan of compulsory arbitration, in cluding an anti-strike provision, and also the plan written into thebill by tlie house interstate commerce committee, which was described as a "middle ground" between that adopted and compulsory arbitra tion. No direct vote on the anti strike proposal was taken. On both votes the proponents of the union's pten won by large ma jorities. First, by a vote of 151 to 75, the house substituted the union's plan for compulsory arbitration, and then 161 to 108, cast aside the com mittee plan for that endo'rsed by the workers. Final action came after practically the entire day had been devoted to debate of the three plans and after adoption of the w&rker's plan, re newed efforts to include anti-strike provision met with defeat through parliamentary tactics. Plan Drafted by Iowan. The plan approved by the rail road employes, which was drafted by Representative Sweet, republic an, Iowa, and offered in the house by Representative Anderson, repub lican, Minnesota, wouid legalize the machinery used by the railroads and their employes before and. during federal control for the settlement of disputes, with commissions on labor disputes being added to consider cases appealed from the joint boards that first consider them. In brief, the plan divides the rail road workers into three classes, and for each it establishes an adjustment board and an appeal commission. No penalty against strike or lockout is imposed, and membership on all sixapf the boards would be restricted to the workers and their employers, and divided equally between them. Both the roads and the employes would be directed by the plaji as written into the bill; "to exert every reasonable effort and adopt every available means to avoid an inter ruption" of traffic, and to this end the three boards of adjustment would be created, these being sub stantially the same as those existing under the railroad administration.

The crowd which gathered consisted mostly of students of both sexes, who earned with themf an old Ger man flag. When Hindengurg's automobile was waylaid the crowd cheered both Von Hindenburg and Ludendorff and shouted, "Down with the Jew ish government." After Von Hin denburg's protests that he be al lowed to proceed were denied; the automobile neverthless slowly be gan to pierce its vay through the crowd toward the reich stag, thou sands of person following, singing "Die Wacht Am Rhein" and "Deutschland Uber Alles." There also were shouts of "Broth ers, we will not allow such a dis grace;" "For us there is only ofie kaiser and empire" and "We will not endure that our glorious kaiser be besmirched." Along the route was a statue ot the former emperor, the name - on which was hidden under a canvas. "Hoch" for the Kaiser.
