Rockland, Maine, Nov. 14 The electrically driven superdreadnaught Maryland made a new speed record for ships of her type today, going over the official mile course here at a rate of 22.49 knots an hour.

The contract requirement was 21 knots. The Maryland developed a horsepower of 36,673. The best mile made by the Tennessee, of the same class, was 21.378, and the maximum horsepower developed by that superdreadnaught was 30,909. A light snowfall, which obscured the range marks of the trial course, caused a suspension of the rest of the standardization trial this afternoon. The test today included three runs at 17, 19 and 21 knots and the five high-speed runs, on which the Maryland averaged 21.76 knots, or more than three-quarters of a knot in excess of required speed.

Three made at the maximum speed, using the inboard screws only. The anchor gear also was tested. It was officially announced that all the tests were successful. Weather permitting, the slow runs of the standardization test will be completed tomorrow. 1 ALICE BRADY, FILM STAR, TO FILE DIYORCE SUIT Action Against Actor Husband Will Be Brought In New York i Today.

MISCONDUCT TO BE CHARGED Notice Will Be Sent Today To General Chairmen Of Brotherhoods. GREATER ECONOMY IS AIM OF LINES Call For Conferences On Wage Reduction Also To Be Mailed. New York, Nov. 14 (Special). In addition to notices which are being sent out calling for conferences looking toward a reduction in the wage scale for all classes of employes, the railroads in the East, through their general managers, will send out letters to the general chairmen of their train service organizations notifying them of their intention of calling conferences to effect changes in the present rules and working conditions governing employment.

The idea behind this latest move on the part of the railroads is to secure even greater economy in operation, it was pointed out here today. The letters will go to the engineers, firemen, conductors and trainmen. AVAGE-CUT NOTICE TODAY. The notices of a general move to cut wages will be sent oat tomorrow to the chairmen of the four brotherhoods, general chairmen of each shop craft, signalmen, maintenance of way and shop laborers, clerks and station laborers, stationary firemen and others. The letters read To meet the general and insistent demand for reduction in transportation costs and to adjust railroad wages on a scale that will be just and reasonable requires a reduction in railroad wages.

The management is therefore constrained to give notice that it desires to confer with the representatives of. the general classes of employes with a view to agreement upon such a reduction. You will be advised further as to the date such conference will be held with the employes covered by the schedu'e. CONFERENCES NEXT MONTH. It was explained that while the notices for the first redaction in wages, which became effective July 1, were sent broadcast through the railroad industry, the railroads are now addressing their communications directly to the cha'r-men chosen bythemen last spring, thereby eliminating the need for another election of representatives and the inevitable waste of time.

The conferences probably, will be held around the middle of next month. No great delay is expected before the reply of the workers' representatives is received, after which the roads will submit at once their cases to the Labor Board for final adjudication. It was pointed out here that the railroads in the Eastern classification territory, the section bounded east of the Mississippi and north of the Ohio rivers, will attempt to secure changes in about 140 items entering into the contracts signed by each road with the representatives of the 'train service workers.

UNION HEADS MEET. By the Associated Press. Chicago, Nov. 14. Six hundred and fifty general chairmen and officers of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Brotherhood of Firemen and Enginemen opened a three-day meeting here today to consider their officers' action in calling off the threatened railroad strike and to plan their future course of action.

Warren S. Stone, grand chief of the engineers, and William S. Carter, president of the firemen and enginemen, announced at the end of the first session that they would have nothing to say before tomorrow night, when a statement probably will be. issued. Jo Act In Harmony.

By the Associated Press. Washington, Nov. 14. At a conference late today between Premier Briand, head of the French delegation, and Senator Schanzer, president of the Italian delegation, an agreement was reached for. a harmonious attitude by the two countries toward questions coming before the Armament Conference.

The agreement cover5 not only questions arising out of the Conference on Limitation of Armament, but also those which may come up during the discussion of Pacific and Far Eastern affairs. CONFERENCE TO WORK BY COMMITTEE PLAN One Body Will Handle Armament Question And The Other Far Eastern Problems. CLOSED SESSIONS PROBABLE Today's Open Meetingr Likely To Be Last Until Actual Decisions Are Reached. By the Associated Press. Washington, Nov.

14. The real work of the armament negotiations was transferred today from the open Conference to the more sceluded precincts of the committee room. After a debate which developed widely separated views on the advisability of giving publicity to the negotiations the big five, comprising the chief delegates of the United States, Great Britain. France, Italy and Japan, settled on the committee plan as the only acceptable solution. To one committee, whose membership will be identical with that of the full Conference itself, was assigned the task of working out a solution for the Far Eastern questions.

Another, composed of all the delegates of the five great powers, was created to take over the negotiations on the main topic of armament limitation. Since only the delegate's of the five powers are qualified to act on armament limitation in the Conference, the result in each case will be to resolve the delegates into a "committee of the whole." To Hold. Closed Meeting. Although no official would, make a prediction prior to the assembling of the new "committees," the presumption everywhere tonight was that the meetings would be held behind closed and that the public would get a glimpse of the proceedings only when, in their capacity as committeemen, the delegates have- an important decision to report to the Conference as a whole. The committee plan was said to have been agreed to as the most direct method of attack on the problems before the Conference, since it would permit greater liberty on confidential expression Le-r tween the representatives of the various Governments and would obviate much, of the procedure Jat would be necessary should the sessions continue entirely in thi open.

Today Last Open Session One result of the decision may be to make tomorrow's open session of the Conference the last of those which precede the period of actual decision of the questions on which the negotiations hinge. The most cptimistic otSciajs do not expect the committees to be able to report without long study and debate. An additional result, at least at the beginning, will be to permit the whole body of delegates to deal with subjects before the Conference instead of leav ing the decisions to the "big five" or the "big nine. Creation of subcommittees are provided for in the plan, however, should that step be found advisable. Proceedings Kept Secret.

Details of what transpired at today's meetings were kept in the closest confidence, but it was indicated that Secretary Hughes, for the American delegation, had proposed open sessions in principle, with frequent executive sessions whose results should be made pub-lie. Some of the other Governments wanted absolute secrecy, and the committee plan was decided on by way of a compromise. The naval armament proposal of the American Government came before the delegation heads incidentally in their discussion of procedure, and at the suggestion of Premier Briand, of France, it was decided that each interested nation should first inform the armament taommittee how much of the American plan it could accept and what parts it considered necessary to amend. Sueffested substitution for inacceptable portions would be submitted as the negotiations proceed. In making these decisions the heads of delegations of the five big powers acted as a "committee on program and procedure with respect to limitation of armaments" and the heads of all nine of the delegations acted as a "committee on program and procedure with respect to Pacific and Far Eastern questions," designations conferred at the first meeting of the full Conference on Saturday.

On both of these committees J. Butler Wright, an official of the State Department, was chosen secretary, and will assist Chairman Hughes in preparing a report for tomorrow's Conference session. Italy Ready To Accept American Proposal By Joseph TV. Grigg. Washington, Nov.

14. Italy will announce at tomorrow's session of the Conference her acceptance in principle of the American limitation of navies proposal. Her spokesmen here today declared that Italy would welcome an early consideration of the question of French and Italian naval armaments, and in the matter of land armaments the Italians contend they have already shown the way by reducing their forces to an army of approximately 200,000. Situation Expected To Preclude Lloyd George Coming To United States. COUNTER-PROPOSALS SENT TO ULSTER Belfast Cabinet Informed Its Program Is Not Acceptable.

By the Associated Press. London, Nov. 14. The negotiations among British, Sinn Fein and Ulster officials regarding the future of Ireland have now entered a stage in which the negotiators are talking of intermittent conferences extending over months instead of weeks. The chief interest this possibility has at the moment is that it promises to make impossible an early visit of Prime Minister Lloyd" George Washington, as he had been hoping to do all along.

This development is assuming great importance in English public and official spheres, because the Washington Conference suddenly has attained proportions in British eyes of an event of tremendous and absorbing significance. i MEETING 3VOT ARRANGED. Counter-proposals for an Irish settlement to those made by the Ulster Cabinet last week were forwarded to the Ulsterites this evening by the Briish representatives informing the Ulsterites that their alternative proposal was not acceptable. No further meeting between the British and Ulster delegates has as yet been arranged. It now seems that the Premier's diplomacy must be directed to bringing Ulster into a three-cornered agreement.

In the meantime the Sinn Fein will sit on the sidelines and await developments. "The Northerners are the bad boys now," remarked a Sinn Fein delegate, i Ulster's watchword is "no surrender," but some of the newspapers find comfort in the thought that this is the first stage of all in the making. The crux of the difficulty rests in the Sinn Fein's claim that Ireland must be a governmental unit, as opposed to Ulster's claim that if Ireland is to have a dominion status Ulster must be under independent rule. CHAMBERLAIN EXPLAINS STAUD The Ulstermen attach special value to the new powers just conferred on the Ulster for controlling their own 1 finances and police their newspapers constantly remind the Prime Minister of his promises not to coerce Ulster. Austen Chamberlain, the Government leader in the House of Commons, in a letter which he wrote today, specifically set forth his position as follows: "Like all my Unionist colleagues I have repeatedly said that I would not be a party to the coercion of Ulster.

Sy that pledge we stand it is common ground to the whole Unionist party. The Prime Minister has given the same pledge, and neither he nor we will depart from our word. "Peace is our greatest need. A million and three-quarters of our people are without work trade is stagnant confidence is lacking. On the result of the present negotiations depend issues of peace and war in these islands, perhaps the future peace of the world.

"I should hoid myself unworthy of the honor conferred upon me by the Unionist party if in such circumstances I did not use my utmost efforts to secure a just and honorable peace. If peace is to be secured, all parties to this ancient and bitter controversy must show some measure of good will and be prepared for some concessions to the feelings of others." SEES MORAL COERCION. While the Unionist leaders affirm their adherence to the promises not to coerce Ulster, some of Ulster's newspaper supporters see in England, and resent, an atmosphere of what they describe as moral coercion. The last sentence quoted from Mr. Chamberlain's letter is typical of the appeals for a compromise coming from many English papers, and practically all the London papers, excepting the Morning Post.

The Liverpool conference of' the Unionist party oft Thursday will be important because it may show how much support a "no surrender" policy by Ulster may command. The group of so-sailed "die-hards" in the House of Commons, which mustered 43 votes against the coalition's Irish policy, assert that the rank and file of the party is with them. They have prepared several resp-lutions for the Liverpool meeting and even have hopes that Andrew Bonar Law may become theirleader. But as yet Mr. Bonar Law has not shown his hand.

Y. CURB Famous Institution Ordered From Gotham Street As Nuisance. -'New' York. Nov. 14.

The last vestiges of New York's world-famou3 curb market just below the Stock Exchange were ordered off the streets to-, day asi an "unmitigated nuisance," in a temporary injunction granted by Supreme Court Justice Lydon. The decision, unless set aside, will put an end to a business that has flourished in Broad 'street for 150 years as one of the sights of New York. The justice declared that if the police did their duty it would not be necessary to apply to the courts for an injunction. The New York Curb Market Association left Broad street several months ago and went indoors, but other brokers organized as the Curb1 Stock and Bond Market of New York, and continued in the street. Disarmament Champions Would Hold Ground Already Gained.

SEE NEED FQR AID WHEN TEST COMES Will Press Fresh Demands For Open Sessions Of The Conference. Br Johst W. Owens, Staff Correspondent of The Sun. Washington, Nov. 14.

On the eve of the second sitting of the International Conference leaders of the disarmament movement are exerting all of their energies to prevent the public mind from relaxing its demands for drastic action and are sending out warnings that Secretary Hughes must be made to realize that he has behind him a public opinion that looks upon his program not as a maximum to be used for trading purposes, but as the minimum that may be accepted with satisfaction by the people. The disarmament champions believe this is imperative. Mr. Hughes' program, they say, may be accepted in principle by both Great Britain and Japan, but they doubt that it will be accepted as to important details until after a very considerable degree of dealing and dickering'. When 1 that time comes-they think Mr.

Hughes will need all the help they possibly can give him. Attention is being called to the point made by Senator Borah in his. speech last night that public opinion forced the Conference and has been the propulsive force behind everything good that has happened thus far. DEMAND FOR OPEN SESSIONS. Incidental to this plan to keep the public mind at the high level it has been on lately, there is to be a fresh and insistent demand for open sessions.

If the first session could be open, and if the session to be held tomorrow can be open, the disarmament champions ask why others cannot be. If, they contend, Mr. Hughes could lay this country's cards on the table why may not England lay here on the table and Japan lay hers. That would not interfere with private discussions, they argue. What the disarmament people are after, in this fresh movement for open sessions, is not alone the carrying out of their long advocated policy as a matter of general principle.

They have in mind, in addition to that, the immediate and direct help they believe it would give Mr. Hughes. Public opinion of the country would have something tangible to grasp, they think, if the British and Japanese proposals in detail were given to the public as were the American and would force early and satisfactory action. BORAH BEHIND HIM. Of course, such leaders of the disarmament movement as Senator Borah have more than any of that in mind.

They think the Hughes proposals, in their essentials and as to the extent they propose to go, must be protected and maintained not merely for their own value, but because they are only the foundation for more far-reaching slashing of the world's armaments. Senator Borah asks constantly as he did in his New York speech, how cutting out $1,000,000 or so from such a total as the $1,600,000,000 spent for armaments by the five big nations in 1920 can give substantial relief to the taxpayers of the world. He asks how the estimate savings of to this country can give substantial relief to American taxpayers who are putting up for $5,000,000,000 budgets. It is-fine as far as it goes, he, thinks, but it must go farther in naval armaments, and not in the far distant future it must reach military armaments. Journal of Commerce; splendid," said James Speyer, head of Speyer Co.

"I think every American has more reason than ever to feel proud of his country." On behalf of Kuhn, Loeb one of the partners said "The proposals are admirable in form and mark a great step toward the settlement of world problems." Harvey D. Gibson, president of. the New York Trust Company, said that he was impressed and highly gratified at the auspicious beginning of the Conference. "The fact that Secretary Hughes in opening the Conference laid down a specific program, tangible and readily understood," he said, "and the splendid reception with which his suggestions have been met augur well for the Conference. At the outset he has created the proper atmosphere for the Conference and heartened all its well-wishers." Judge Elbert H.

Gary, chairman of the United States Steel Corporation, said "Disarmament is a good thing for all business." Asked with particular reference to the steel industry, he added: "Steel included." Judge Gary said that the war business of the corporation in normal times was "not appreciable." During the war it is estimated that about 65 per cent, of the Corporation's output was devoted to the manufacture of munitions. President Harding Declares State Of War Terminated On July 2. AUSTRIA-HUNGARY NEXT TO BE INCLUDED Then Will Be Achieved The Real Purpose Ending Of Certain War Laws. Washington, Nov. 14.

Peace between the United States and Germany formally was proclaimed today by President Hard- rrt The President, in a proclamation signed at 3.52 P. declared the state of war between the United States and Germany, existing from April 6, 1917, to have terminated in fact July 2, 1921, when the joint peace resolution of Congress was approved by the Executive. Issuance of the proclamation, which -followed exchange of ratifications of the Treaty of Berlin, effected Armistice Day, in the German capital was considered the first of a series of three steps, which, when completed, will return the United States to a complete peace status. AUSTRIAN PEACE NEXT. The second step probably will be the promulgation of proclamation declaring war with Austria to have ended and the third the issuance of a similar proclamation with respect to Hungary.

The proclamation dealing with Austria is expected to be signed by the President and issued through the State Department within a few days, as ratifications of the treaty between the United States and Austria were exchanged at Vienna last Tuesday. notifications between the United States and Hungary are? expected to be exchanged soon and the proclamation issued soon afterward. Until the third and final step is taken the purposes of the formal proclamations will not be achieved, in the opinion of officials. The purposes are stated to be to put to an end without doubt to. certain war laws unaffected by the Congressional resolutions of repeal approved last March 3.

Notable among these war-time laws are sections of the Espionage act, the Liberty Bond act and Trading With the Enemy act. Portions of the last-named statute are preserved, however, through the treaty. DEBS' RELEASE AFFECTED, Disposition of the cases of Eugene V. Debs and others convicted of violation of war laws likewise will await the third final step. Attorney General Daugherty has prepared an opinion for he President suggesting a method of disposing of the Debs case and, it is understood, proposing definite treatment of the cases of others convicted of similar offenses.

This however, has not yet been presented to the President and Mr. Daugherty has indicated that there may be last-minute changes before its submission. The proclamation issued today has no bearing on the resumption of diplomatic relations between the United States and Germany, State Department officials asserting that the exchange of ratifications in itself restored such diplomatic relations. Just when Germany will resume her old diplomatic status in "Washington is not known to officials here, but it is expected that Baron Edmund Ther-mann, former counselor of the German Legation at Budapest, will arrive in Washington shortly to arrange for a technical installation of. a German Embassy.

Says Rothschild's Visit Is In Behalf Of Germany New York, Nor. 14. Anthony de Rothschild, of the London banking house of N. M. Rothschild Sons, is in this country to make a study of gen-rral conditions here.

While this summarizes briefly all that may now authoritatively be said regarding the purpose of his visit, bank-ing quarters familiar with current international financial negotiations and trends and identified particularly with German interests attach much greater significance to his arrival in the United States than the bare statement indicates. "It is the first occasion since the war upon which a man of such prominence and influence has come to the United States from a country outside of Germany upon an errand for Germany" was a statement made in a usually well-informed quarter. Mr. de Rothschild is not here specifically to negotiate a loan for Germany; that much is generally conceded. But in conversations and meetings with bankers in which he will participate it is predicted that he will gain such an insight into conditions in this country as to be able accurately to' gauge sentiment toward a German loan project in which he is commonly understood to be interested.

A few weeks ago Mr. de Rothschild was in Berlin, where he conferred with President Havenstein of the Reichsbank and leading financiers. More recently this visit was repaid by the trip of Herr Havenstein to London. Announcement Looked For When British Officially, Approve Proposals.

14. It is now expected that Mr. Balfour, speaking for the British Government at the Disarmament Conference tomorrow, -will formalhr ac cept, in principle, the American naval limitation program. It is also expected that immedi-atelv afterward Prince Toku gawa, head of the Japanese mission, will giver formal notice that his country likewise accepts the program in the main. That the British, after 48 hours' study of the Hughes plan of action, would approve it in its broader phases was semi-officially announced today.

"Only a few hours later it was clearly intimated in Japanese circles that tbi Oriental power would not be far behinj Great Britain in expressing their acquiescence in the American program. COUNTER-PROPOSALS EXPECTEn Neither delegation will swallow the Hughes proposal whole and neither ha? been expected to do so by the Americans. It has been well understood that counter-proposals to make with respece to certain details of the limitation program. This Government will welcom-suggestions that come from either of the other naval, powers so long as thos? suggestions do not involve any radical change in the direction of more instead of less armament. Nor is there any tonight for believing that either the British or th Japanese will ask for modifications of ithe nughca program in the interest of greater naval strength for any of the three powers than that allowed under the American plan of action.

On the contrary, there are somewhat vague but none the lesa persistent reports in Washington tonight that th British, if not tomorrow, then later will propose the scrapping of the whole business of building or maintaining submarines. At the moment there is no official authority for these reports, but it would not be surprising to those most intimately associated with the Conference to find the British going even further in the direction of reducing armament than America has gone. OPOION SEEMS CXAJfUIOCS. Upon the question of limitation, li can be stated, there appeared to little or no difference of opinion on tin-part of the three great naval power-. The British appear to be entirely willing to abandon further construction, just as are the Americans.

The abtfi, donment of construction of armamca. for the 10 years is literal limitation of armament so far as sea power 13 concerned. If there develops differences of opinion, respecting Great Britain and the United States particularly, thost; differences probably will center abou: the reduction of existing naval armament, not limitation on a baeis of tonnage now afloat; Surprising as it tnav seem, all reports are to the general effect that the British are more inclined at the moment to reduce their naval power than are the Americans. It wa3 learned in official quarters today that the British delegation reached Washington with a carefully prepared plan for limitation for the leading fleets of the world. This program was to have been presented at an executive session of the Conference and at a xim'i when Japan would be expected to present their plans.

Secretary Hughes at the opening session of the Conference upset British plan of procedure, however, by laying the American card on the table while all the world looked on. The British plan now is to approve in principle the American plan, doing; it publicly, then to submit their program in the form of a counter-suggestion to be considered first by the navpi armament committee of the Conference and afterward by the Conference a whole. JAPANESE APPEAR SATISFIED. It is now confidently expected that the Japanese, as already stated, wil! follow the British in accepting broadly what the Americans have proposed then offer their own suggestions as to Ihe best means of arriving at the naval parity toward which America 13 moving. It is not too much to say that the Japanese are perhaps more than satisfied with the relative naval strength which they would enjoy under the Hughes program.

From the very day ot their Arrival Japanese spokesmen have made it clear that they desire a fleet in the future at least half as formidable as that of the United States. They have repudiated the idea that they have ever dreamed of a navy as powerful, man for man and gun for gun, as that of the United States, admitting with apparent candor that in a race to so match the American Navy Japan would bankrupt herself. Not only does the American program allow for a Japanese half as strong as that of the United States, but it allows for one at least CO per cent, as strong, a fact which undoubtedly has pleased the Japanese delegation WOULD DONATE SURPLUS WAR SUPPLIES TO RUSSIA Senator France Seeks By Legislation To Turn Over Army Material To Famine -Stricken. SERVE DUAL PURPOSE, HE SAYS Declares Act Would Relieve Distress Of Millions And Win Friendship Of Sufferers. From The Sun Bureau.

Washington, Nov. 14. Senator France today introduced a bill directing the Government to turn over the accumulated war supplies, which it cannot use and which are on sale in various places, to famine-stricken people in Russia, China, the Near East and other plates the distribution of the gift to be made through the several accredited agencies now at work relieving distress. In taking this action Senator France said that two ends would be served. First, the removal of the supplies from the markets would aid business, industry and agriculture by taking them out of competition with the current products of business and labor: second, it would lend great aid to millions of suffering people and, incidentally, win their friendship for this country.

In explaining his measure, Senator France said "Everyone knows that during the war the Government accumulated vast supplies of drugs, chemicals, shoes, clothing, blankets, harness, canned goods, meats and other foods, trucks, automobiles and other materials, and that huge quantities of these are still on hand. From time to time quantities of these are declared surplus and are sold. "When we consider how splendidly our people responded to the call to arms, the action and endurance on the part of labor, the deeds of heroism performed in the domestic solitude of our homes during the it is then we realize that something must be done to relieve our people of the demoralizing effect which the dumping of the Government supplies in an irregular way is having upon our markets. "The humanitarian sid of the question is important. The Russians stand in desperate need of such supplies.

Tim shipment of these supplies to Russia would be an act of humanity and a piece of wise business diplomacy as well. All these supplies will serve as samples of American-made goods and may result in future business trana tions." Bomb Is Thrown Among Mexicans In Cathedral A at lior Of Outrage Saved From Lynching By Police No i One Killed. By the Associated Press. Mexico City, Nov. 14.

While a religious ceremony was in progress at the Guadalupe Cathedral this morning a bomb was exploded on the altar below the image of the Guadalupe Virgin. There were no casualties, though the church was crowded at the time, and nu serious damage was done. The author of the outrage was arrested shortly afterward, the police saving him from being lynched from an excited mob. The town of Guadalupe is within a few miles of Mixico City. It is the Lourdes or Mecca of Mexico, to which the Indian population from all over the republic flock in large numbers to pay homage to the Virgin of Guadalupe, the patron of Mexico.

According to tradition, the virgin appeared on a hill before a humble Indian, demanding that the church be erected on the The Indian sought out the church authorities and showed them a piece of cloth on which the picture of the virgin was painted in colors. The Cathedral was erected and the cloth on which the image was painted has since been carefully preserved. The outrage today appeared to be an attempt to destroy the image, but only the base of the altar was damaged. The rich frame in which the image is contained remained intact. The worshipers attributed this to a miracle.

That Andrew Domiano, 43 years old, of Wood-lawn, sought the services of two hired assassins who murdered Mrs. Catherine Cardon, 40 years old, and her 5-year-old daughter, Lena Cardon, at their home at McKees Rocks last Saturday evening, is the announcement of county detectives, who arrested Domiano early this morning at his home in connection with the double killing. The suspect is the father of the slain child, according to the detectives, and the woman's refusal to turn over the girl to Domiano is the motive of the crime, the detectives say. A description of Jim Brun and an unidentified foreigner, said to be the actual murderers, has been sent broadcast by the authorities. Mary Cardon, 12-year-old daughter of the dead woman, identified Bruno as one of the men who did the shooting.

The child, who was being rocked to sleep, fell from her mother's arms with a bullet hole in her body, while the mother crumpled to the floor also fatally wounded. The assassins fired 12 shots. Mexican Radicals Threaten U. S. Consul Demonstration Held Before American Consulate In Tampico.

Washington, Nov. 14.

The demonstration, it was said, was in connection with the conviction for murder of a Massachusetts court of Sacco and Vanzetti, Italians. Officials of the department expressed the belief that the Mexican Government would take fujl steps to protect the Consul.
