(Copyright, 1922.) | LONDON, Dec 1.—Cranberry | sauce doesn’t go with turkey ‘any more than ice cream goes with lob- asters, it now appears. Here it is 1922 and the London chefs prove that the United States has been on ‘the wrong track ever since the chill November morn in 1621, or there- abouts, when the Pilgrim Fathers )came home from ‘a load of turkeys they 10 cents a chance. Wednesday night there was a ;me eting of chefs from the various branches of a big London catering) | firm, and the question came up as/| to whether or not the century -ol4 | |alliance of the turkey and cranberry | ten America was illegal. The vote lwas unaimously ‘‘Yes.”’ The chefs decided that cranberry sauce did nag “blend” with turkey, for instance, red currant sauce “blends” with roast mutton, and ap- fe sauce with roast pork. The chefs ‘decreed that the American cousins iought to serve chestnut sauce with roast turkey and celery sauce with boiled turkey, but cranberry sauce, | my word, old top, that’s a sweet, ‘you know, a dessert. | Then somebody got logical. “Tf this is so, why aren’t the Americans all dead?” Somebody, equally logical, replied: “Well, old chef, you cawn't kfll them as easy as that, but if we ate ‘-hawf the things the Americans ate, we should all be dead, you know.” . sey o,.”’ all the chefs exclaimed.

By the Associated Press. MEXICO CITY, Dec. 1.—Federal troops guarded a badly battertu municipal building today while the city counted the casualties of a fight between the police and a mob which attempted to storm the building last night. The death list as a result of the fighting stodd at 17 early today, while 18 persons are known to have been seriously injured and 33 slightly hurt. It was thought that a closer’ check might reveal further casualties. The list of those less seriously in- jured was augmented early this morning when a group of manifes- tants attempting a demonstration before the residence of Alonso Ro- mero, president of the City Couh- cil, clashed with mounted police- men who fired several rounds. Fight injured persons were taken into the Romero home for treatment. The city, after a night of wild ex- : citement, found its main plaza be- fore the municipal building a shambles of broken: glass, tirebers: and stone—evidence of the anger of the mob. which férced its way into the building half an hour-after! the police rifles had taken their toll. Cause of the Trouble. The trouble, which lasted for mora than six hours, started when a crowd marched to the ‘city hall to protest against the aldermen who are heid the water famine. ‘Fhe demonstra- tion was intendéd by the labor fat. protest, and several by persons paraded . the ac streets before proceeding to’ vi to voice their adverse séntig against the City government; protestants were reinforced alo ‘the route and when the bitintelsh building was reached, ” the crowd numbered’ more than 2000 persons. + Yelling invectives against ‘tHe aldermen, the mob gave emphasis to its words by hurling stones and other missiles. When one leader suggested the hall be enteréd, the demonstrators made a concerted rush forward. The police guards met their advance by firing their rifles over the head of the crowd, which, however, did not check its course. When it became apparent the 1r would enter the building despite 4 police, the latter aimed their r point blank and fired with dea fect. é Staggered by the bullets; the dem- onstrators retired, carrying with therm their dead and injured. Checked Only Temporarily. But in half an hour they returned and several of their number, break- ing windows, entered the hal} and yegan to set fire to its contents: Val- uable documents, some of which dated back several centuries, were tossed into the street and the city records were given to the winds. By this time the Federal troops had arrived, but the intruders were not ejected before the building had been fired in many places and the furniture wrecked: A line of lose which the, Fire Department was adic to bring into play despite the water ob +8 shortage was successful in holding} back the crowds outside. Homes of Aldermen Guarded. The Chamber’ of Deputies ad- journed when it-received news of the} sanguinary encounter in the main plaza and a heavy guard was thrown around the building. The residences of all Aldermen were also under the protection of Federal troops beat out the night. It was .said today that the city eleétion, scheduled for next Sunday, would be’ postponed in view of- night’s occurrence, and the sugges- tion was made in many quarters that} - the Federal Government ‘take over the city administration temporarily. El Heraldo alleges that five of the demonstrants who succeeded in en- tering the municipal building for the purpose of firing it were captured by the police guards, lined up against a wall and executed, their bodies later} mysteriously disappearing. oh The Confederation of Labor” has recalled a general strike throughout] ek n e BEATTY BROTHERS ARE ACQUITTED IN MURDER CASES Dr. James Beatty of Mascou- tah, Ill., Admitted Shooting Brother and Otto Klingen- fus.
