NAVARRO FACES TRIAL
DEFEATED . MEXICAN GENERAL
TO BE CO CRT-MARTI ALED.
Man Who Surrendered Jnares. to In.
rarrectos Defends Action on
nnnianltarian Grounds.
MEXICO CITY. May 11 As a result
of his surrender of Juarex to the rebels.
General Navarro will be court mar
titled, the court sitting at Chihuahua
within a week or 10 days.
When an Associated Press represen
tative today showed General Navarro
the dispatch from Mexico City saying
that he probably would be court mar
titled for surrendering the town to the
insurrectos, the defeated Commander
received the news with grim aJenn.
His attitude, he finally explained,
was guided by humanitarian motives.
Four hundred soldiers, thirsty, hungry,
and with no possible chance of victory
over an army that numbered nearly
1000 were saved, in his opinion, from a
pitiful fate by the surrender.
It is explained in defense of General
Navarro that he was unable f main
tain his outer trenches because he did
not wish to fire into American terri
tory, the insurrectos entering the town
with tho American line behind them.
General Navarro, It is declared,
thought his only chance for battle was
well within the town and in his forti
fications. The insurrectos, soon how
ever, cut off the water and food supply,
and the federal soldiers began to suffer
after the second day's fighting, when
the insurrectos were throwing; bombs
and setting fire to the framo ouildlng.
General Navarro's conscience Is clear.
He thinks he was light in surrendering
when he did. Insurrectos to a man
agree with him. as do Americans who
watched the progress of the fight.
Mexicans today were inclined to believe
the court martial is only a matter of
form and that a favorable verdict end
high commendation for bravery being
Just as likely to ensue as a reprimand.

"I do not see how the grand Jury
could have made the charge more
definite.
"It makes no. difference what the
grand Jury labeled the offense. The
question Is: Did the facts as stated

"An indictment is well enough that

In the minds of the defendants of what

"The whole plan, from Its Inception,

SHOT AIMED AT. MAYOR
MCCARTHY'S MESSEXGER IX
DICTED BY GRAXD JURY.
Inquiry Into Graft in Bay City's
Redllght District Reaches Close
to Mayor, but He Escapes.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 12. (Special.)
Detective Sergeant Peter Fanning,
detailed as official messenger for
Mayor McCarthy, was suspended from
duty late today by Chief of Police Sey
mour. Seymour stated that the sus
pension was made as the result of in
vestigation by the grand jury of al
leged graft in connection. with the mu
nicipal clinic.
Fanning has appeared before the
grand Jury as a witness several times
during the past week. The suspension
was made when the chief was informed
that an Indictment had been returned
by the grand Jury at its all-night ses
sion last night. At the completion of
the session the grand Jury adjourned
until next Tuesday, when the investi
gation Into the charges of graft in the
restricted district of this city will be
resumed.
The investigation was the outcome
of charges made by Thelma Leroy, a
resident of the -restricted district, that
she had paid money at various times
for protection, her testimony including
other charges of extortion in connection
with the municipal cilnlc.
Fanning Is suspended pending fur
trier actios in regard to other people
close to the Mayor, and possibly the
Mayor. That the investigation will go
that far seems hardly possible, when
the Mayor's control over the officers of
the courts and District Attorney's of
flee Is taken into consideration. The
Mayor will probably succeed In making
scapegoats of a few like Fanning, al
though many are of the opinion that
graft really goes higher up.
