BORDER TOWN RAID DY DANDITS
Maxwel s Courtmartial Executes Fermoy Rebel
CARGO SHIFTED AND THE
SEAMEN MEET STORMY END
PORT SAN LUIS, Cal. May 11.—
During a terrific storm off this coast
yesterday evening the cargo of the
ste&mor Roanoke shifted and the
steamer shortly afterwards turned
turtle.
Forty-one seamen on board the 11»
fated coaster are missing and it is
believed that they were drowned
when the steamer foundered.
Four life boats and a Union Oil
Co. tanker is now engaged in search
ing £ 'r the crow o£ the Roanoke
The fifth life boat has drifted ashore
near this place carrying three ex
hausted sailors and the bodies oi
others who died from exposure on
board.
The sensational wrecking of the
Roanoke is said to have been due to
defective loading by the stevedores )
who in their haste did not stow the i
cargo properly, a common experience i
along coastal ports. i
The Roanoke was bound for this !
port and was heavily laden with <
general freight when she foundered 1
by turning turtle. i i
Seamen say that the turning turtle |
of the Roanoke Is an unexpected 1
nisadventure as the steamer had not
i cranky reputation, although it is
admitted that in a heavy sea she
oiled considerably.
The Roanoke had several narrow
scapes from wreck before, and once
tad been driven ashore coming from
Llaskan ports.

place and looted several stores,
there wore no lives lost nor was any
person wounded in the raiding. The
Mexicans got away with considerable
plunder from the local stores.
WASHINGTON, D. C., May 11.—
{War preparations are now being
made along the Mexican border. ]
Today orders were issued to1
strengthen certain vital points along 1

war eventuate.

WASHINGTON, D. C., May 11.— |
Army officials here regard war with I
Mexico as certain because inevitable.

prison sentences to fifty other men
who were members of the Soln Fein

LONDON, May 11.—The pacifica
tion of Ireland is now regarded here
as complete and the severity of the
court martial and the vindictive spi
rit shown by the court In the execu
tion of the rebels Is in many quart
ers deprecated. The result of these
severe sentences has been to
estrange considerable support which
he Asquith government heretofore
lad extended to it.
Labor papers are declaring that it
s for the English masses that the
lorrible example Is being provided in
Ireland in theee outrageous execu
;ions, but the probability Is that they
ire merely providing a lesson for
future times which they may greatly
regret they ever tried to teach.
The laborlto view Is pretty well
:redited and generally diffused
;hroughout the country.
NIGHT ATTACK ON VAUX

PARIS, May 11.—The Verdun

storm was later followed by a heavy
gale from the west.
LONDON, May H.—Tho War Of

the day’s bulletin says that unim
portant tronch fighting has taken
place along the entire western front
held by the British, the Germans ap

attacks were not weighty and were
not persisted in.
The Flanders positions today are
being subjected to a fierce bombard

no sign of an increased hostility
upon the part of the Mexicans. There
is however exceedingly little news
coming out of Mexico, the censorship
being most rigid and equalling that
which in the earlier days of the
Pershing Invasion followed upon the
orders of General Funston.
The newspapers will find this cen
sorship Is absolute.
GARMENT WORKERS MAY
CALL A GENERAL STRIKE
CHICAGO, May 11,—The garment I
workers, forty thousand of whom
have been ordered out on strike, I
may demand a general strike in the
organized industry in order to force (
the situation.
Factories are just now away behind 1
with orders and the efforts to speed
up the employees have been many
and remarkable. Any strike now
would be considered ruinous by the
companies which are not at all
pleased over the turn of affairs.
ANOTHER MUNITION PLANT
IS DESTROYED BY FIRE
CADILLAC, May 11.—Another
chemical munition factory was de
stroyed here today in this city when
the Cadillac Chemical Co's structure
went up in smoke fo'lowing an ex
plosion.
Ar usual the Germanists are blam
ed for the destruction of the build- j
ing hut as the company was manu- i
factoring inflammable ohemie: Is on
large European contracts, the fire is
certainly not incendiary hut acci
dental. Workmen nay that small
fires more easily controlled have
been numerous enough for the past
two months within the same factory.
No lives were lost.
OBREGON WIRES CARRANZA
AND ANSWER IS EXPECTED
EL PASO, May i l —General
Obregon sent a long wire to Carran
za today completely reviewing the
situation according to reports, and
it is supposed that much will depena
upon tha outcome of these commu
nications.
It is quite possible tint Scott and
Obregon may again confer tomorrow
but there is unquestionably an air
of pessimism about the Mexican si
tuation that is not very encourag
ing.
