of San Francisco Resort, Who
Showed Scant Sympathy
for Victim's Wife.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 18. (Special.)
Thlrty-Beven so-called "social clubs,"
many of them not incorporated, -where
poker playing and other forms of gam
bling have been permitted to flourish
unrestrained for years, were forced, to
.close their doors early this morning by
several squads of detectives, acting
under orders of Captain of Detectives
John Mooney. Padlocks were placed
on the doors by the police.
When the cases of the gamblers
rounded up in tne raid on the so-called
clubs last Saturday came on this after
noon before the police judges sitting
en banc. Attorney Thomas O Connor ap
peared in their- defense. He made a
statement of the course they proposed
to pursue and then made a motion to
continue the cases until next Tuesday.
The motion was not opposed, and was
granted by the Judges.
Test Case Indicated.
"Representing 800 of the defendants,"
O'Connor said, "taken in raids on in
corporated clubs, I shall contend that,
as incorporated clubs we are as much
entitled to play draw poker, pinochle,
bridge, whist or any other game not
specifically barred by statute as the
Olympic, the Pacific Union or any
other similarly incorporated club.
"In order that we may get a decision
on this point from a court of compe
tent Jurisdiction, we propose to ask a
trial by jury for these defendants. In
the even of conviction, we will appeal
the cases at once. Meantime we pro
pose to keep our quarters closed, so
that Chief of Police White will have
no further occasion to do any raiding.
"Though we are not obliged, to sub
mit to the change in the charge from
vagrancy, as originally fixed, to one
f conducting and. visiting a gambling
place, we will not offer any objection
to it."
Secretary to Be Tried First.
The first case to be tried will be
that of Barneberg, the secretary of
the Waldorf Club, the man who, it Is
charged, when she complained of the
losses her husband had sustained, in
this resort and which had reduced, her
and her baby to penury, advised Mrs,
Atchlty to sell herself. He will de
mand a jury.
Chief White announced that the raid
ing would be kept up until the courts
took action to enjoin the police, and
that if the gamblers sought to evade
arrest in this manner some other way
would ,be found to reach them. He
said he was determined to make the
present campaign a winning one and
that if he received the proper legal
support would be successful in his ef
forts to drive the gamblers out of the
city.
Mrs. Atchlty, who drew attention of
the police to the clubs by her formal
eomplaint that she and her baby were
in need of food, but that her husband
had gambled away all their money, left
on the Harvard for JLos Angeles this
afternoon. She is being sent to her
parents.
COX CASE JS DISMISSED
Ohio Judge Holds Intent to Defraud
Was Not Proved.
CINCINNATI, July 16. Judge Cald
well in the Common Pleas Court today
granted the motion of the defense and
dismissed the case against George B.
Cox, the former political leader and
financier. Cox was on trial on the
charge of misapplying $116,000 of the
funds of the Cincinnati Trust Com
pany.
The trial had been in progress three
weeks when, at the conclusion of the
state's testimony, Attorney Dlnsmore
for-Cox, asked for an Instructed verdict
of not guilty.
The general grounds assigned by
Judge Caldwell in his decision were
that there was no evidence that Cox
made or authorized the loans by the
Cincinnati Trust djpmpany to the Ford
& Johnson Chai-lompany, or that he
intended to injunor defraud the bank.
REPORTS TO BE PROTECTED

SALEM, Or., July 16. (Special.) A
San Francisco publishing-house having
obtained the opinions to be embraced
in the Oregon reports, and having an
nounced that the books to be published
y it will be retailed at $3 a volume,

tion to have the reports of its de
cisions copyrighted. The nprice fixed
by the state for the reports is J3.E0.
Prominent Salem lawyers, when
asked about the report, said that a
copyright would apply only to the sys
tem of preparing the Teports. v
It was further held that the court
reporters could sell the opinions to
whom they wished, but the arrange
ment as made by the state was the
property of the state.

WILSON IS SENT FOR
Ambassador to Mexico to Con

STEP LONG CONTEMPLATED
Bryan Reasserts That Lecture En
gagements Will Not Interfere
AVith Business, and Are Sub
ject to Cancellation.
(Continued From First Pase.
Washington would change his pro
jected lecture' tour. He replied:
The newspapers might have as
sumed that my lecture dates would not
interfere with business, instead of as
suming that they would. All my lec
ture dates were made subject to can
cellation." Senator Fall informally notified the
foreign relations committee today that
he intends to ask the Senate to dis
charge it from further consideration of
his bill to repeal the neutrality statute
of 1912. under which the Huerta gov
ernment now is importing munitions of
war, while they are denied to the con
stitutionalists. He will ask the Senate
to pass it. "
CAR OF CARTRIDGES SEIZED
Federal Officers Find 448,000
Rounds Intended for Villa's Men.
EL PASO. July 16. United States
officers, assisted by Mexican consular
agents, captured the largest consign
ment of contraoand ammunition ever
taken here when they discovered four
Mexicans covering boxes containing
448.000 rounds of rifle cartridges with
coal in a car in the Santa Fe railroad
yards. The prisoners, who are men
of the laboring class, were arraigned
before the United States Commissioner
today. An American, believed by some
of the officers to be the leader of the
smuggling party, escaped, but is being
hunted. The ammunition is believed
to have been designed for shipment to
General Francisco Villa.
An A TY11i,a n hnalnaoo man i 1. 1
huahua. who passed through Villa'
camp at Ascension jsaonaay, says that
the Constitutionalists have 11.100 well
drilled and thoroughly equipped cav
alry unaer strict discipline. Villa told
the Americans his Intention was to
march to attack Juarez within ten
days, when he believes his force will
be prepared to capture the town with
a rush.
Jose Parra and his son, leading a de
tachment of the independent forces
under Maximo Sastillo, were captured
and executed last Sunday, .together
with eight other men, by one of Villa's
scouting parties, commanded -by Por
firio . Talamantese, after a fight at
Casas Qrandes, according to an Ameri
can rancher who reached here today.
IRONY OF FATE ILLUSTRATED
London Papers Interested In Possi
bility of Intervention.
LONDON, July 17. The London
morning papers are Interested in the
possibility that the United States will
be obliged to intervene in Mexico. The
Morning Post, in an editorial, says:
"It would be a curious instance of the
irony of fate if such a policy were
forced on the Wilson Administration,
and as intervention would mean a long
and costly guerilla warfare. It may be
assumed that President Wilson will not
take action unless absolutely com
pelled to do so. But he cannot toler
ate Indefinitely the continuance of
anarchy."
HUERTA DECLARED IN PLOT
Rebel Governor of Sonora Says
Powers Have Selfish Purpose. '
TUCSON, Ariz., July 16. "We pray
you not to permit the nations of Eu
rope to make of the United States a
collection agency to collect moneys
that they have advanced or have agreed
to advance for the support of the mur
derous Huerta government."
This petition was telegraphed to
President Wilson today by Ignacio Pes
queria, the constitutionalist Governor
of Sonora.
The insurgent Governor of Sonora
further asserts that Huerta is back of
the European powers in urging
declaration of the attitude of the
United States toward Mexican affairs.
VIL,SOPf.
The message to President Wilson con
tinued: "These nations have advanced their
money with full knowledge that it was
to a usurping government. Now, when
Huerta and his followers find they are
being crushed, he appeals to the powers
who have advanced money to him that
they force the United States to grant
him recognition.
"The people of Mexico who have been
fighting and winning battles to sus
tain the regular ' government protest
against this attempt to take from them
their hard-won laurels. The state
troops have protected and always will
protect American Interests in Mexico."
WILSON WILL) LEAVE 3IEXICO
American. Ambassador to Lay Exact
Situation Before Administration.
MEXICO CITY, July 16. Henry Lane
Wilson, American Ambassador, left
Mexico City tonight for Vera Cruz,
from which port he expects to sail to
morrow for the United States. He will
lay before the Administration at Wash,
ington the exact situation in Mexico.
Rendered anxious by the long war
fare and conjectures regarding inter
vention, the American residents here
were somewhat alarmed at the Ambasi-
sador's summons to Washington, but
this fear was allayed 'to some extent
by the knowledge that the secretary of
the embassy. Kelson O Shaughnessy,
would remain.
Mexican officials show keen inter
est in the Ambassador's departure, but
no anxiety. They believe he will ad
vocate recpgnition of the Huerta gov
ernment.
That the Ambassador will make a
plea for recognition, except possibly
in some modified or Indirect form, is
open to doubt; that he will advocate
intervention, unless conditions during
his absence grow -worse, is considered
unlikely.
Many Mexicans appear to regard in
tervention almost as a certainty. Some
of the Mexican newspapers this week
have devoted considerable space edi
torially to such a possibility and have
urged Mexicans to forget their differ
ences and unite lor tne aeiense oi tne
fatherland.
The Ambassador has stated he will
be back in Mexico in three weeks, but
friends consider it quite possible he
may not return.
With respect to the campaigns now
proceeding throughout the country,
government reports of which are prac
tically the only available information
here, indicate that the federals in the
north are meeting with success.
ROADS MAKE EXCHANGE
UNION PACIFIC PAYS PENNSYL
VANIA $80 IN DEAL.
Baltimore & Ohio President Says
Policy of His Company Will
Remain as Heretofore.
PHILADELPHIA July 16. In ac.
cordance with the plan recently ap
proved ay me unitea states uuurt lur
the dissolution of the Union Pacinc
Southern Paciflc merger, the exchange
of stock of the Baltimore & Ohio Rail
road owned by the Pensylvania Rail
road Company for stock of the South
ern Pacific owned by the Union Paciflc
took place today.
The Southern Paciflc stock possessed
by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
was 882,924 shares, with a par value
of $38,292,400. The Baltimore & Ohio
stock sold by the Pennsylvania was
212.736 shares of preferred and 212,736
shares of common, with a total par
value of $42,547,200. The preferred
stock of the Baltimore & Ohio was sold
to the Union Pacific for $80 a share
and the common at par. The Southern
Pacific stock was sold at par.
The money. consideration due to each
of the purchasing railroads was the
same, except for an additional $80 m
cash which the Union Pacific paid for
an odd share of Baltimore & Ohio pre
ferred.
BALTIMORE, July 16. President
Willard, of the Baltimore & Ohio, said
today that the exchange of stock own
ership would not affect the policy of
the railroad. He added:
"There is no reason to suppose that
the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Com
pany will lose anything by the large
exchange of stock ownership and it is
not likely that It will gain anything by
tne arrangement. Baltimore will con
tinue to be the chief Atlantic port of
the Baltimore &. Ohio Railroad."
Water Rights Are Granted.
HOOD RIVER, Or., July 16. (Soe
cial.) During the quarter just ending,
two citizens of Hood River County have
been granted permits by the State En
glneer to make appropriations of water
from streams in the county. Charles
Gray, of Wyeth, has been allowed to
make use of a tenth of an inch of th
water of Gray's Creek for domestic
purposes. F. E. Newby, a lumber man
ufacturer, will receive the privilege of
appropriating S feet of the water of
Perham Creek' for the operation of
sawmill west of the city.
Eastern Trainmen Say Evident Pur
pose- Is to Deprive Them of Any
Benefits They Iay Gain
by Winning Contention.
NEW YORK. July 16. Possible com
plications in the proposed arbitration
of the dispute between the Eastern
railroads and their conductors and
trainmen developed tonight when the
conference committee of managers sub
mitted a list of demands which they
insisted must be arbitrated together
with the men's demands for Increased
wages.. The men announced tney wouia
issue a. reDlv tomorrow.
Fears were expressed that this move
by the railroads might delay or even
prevent arbitration of tne aispute un
der the Newlands bill passed by Con
gress and signed by President Wilson
yesterday.
The demands of the roads are eight
in number. They are:
"1. When a minimum day's wage is
ratd In any class of service, it shall en
title the railroad to the full mileage
or hours of service paid for.
"2. In no case shall double compen
satlon be paid.
"3. For fixing the basis of compen
satlon i. e., whether passenger,
through, local freight, yard, etc the
same classification shall be applied to
all members of the train crew.
"4. All monthly guarantees shall be
abolished.
"5. That consideration be given to a
reduction of existing rates of pay of
yard brakemen and of passenger con
ductors and trainmen on long continu-
us runs where there is an opportunity
to make excessive mileage in a limited
number of hours.
"6. Employes In two or more classes
of service on continuous duty or under
continuous pay shall be paid the rates
applicable to the different service per
formed with a minimum equal to ten
hours at the lowest paid service.
7. On passenger and freight trains.
where under interstate laws extra men
are required, the rate of pay for all
brakemen be 20 per cent below rates
established for brakemen on trains not
affected by such laws.
8. The rates and rules awarded by
this arbitration shall supersede rates
and rules now in effect which are in
conflict therewith."
Unofficially, trainmen leaders to
ight declared that each of the rules
the roads want arbitrated is one which
the union succeeded in having recog
nized only after a long struggle and
several of them are regarded by the
men as being as important as their
wage demand.
Some of the employes representa
tives expressed a belief that it was the
purpose of the roads to have the ar
bitration board decide on their eight
emands In such a manner as to lop
off from the trainmen's wages an
amount equal to any increase that may
be awarded under their present de
mand, thus leaving the men no better
off than they are today.
