Will Not Be Rec ognized if Excesses Are Com mitted Huerta Expected to Resign by Tomorrow. MEXICO CITT, July 14. (Tueeday.) vhi.IhI President Hurrta and hl family, a ceo rd las to reports prevalent In the capital, are expected to leave tor Vera Crua aome time today and vrlll probably embark oa the steamer Ka- The Eipurne already baa a number ot prominent Huerta official aboard. WASHINGTON. July 13. The Bra zilian Minister to Mexico, who is car ina; for the interests of the United States in that country, telegraphed the State Department today that the resig nation of General Huerta in favor of Francisco CarbaJaL the newly-appointed minister of foreign affairs, was expected tomorrow or Wednes day. Minister Suarez, of Chile, one of the three mediators, anticipating the re tirement of Huerta, sought in an in formal talk with Secretary Bryan to learn what the attitude of the United States would be toward the Carbajal government. While the Washington Government will not recognize Car bajal. Minister Suarez learned that the American Government was not dis inclined to treat informally with the new administration until a transfer of power to the constitutionalists could be effected. Huerta's Forces Awaited. Earlier in the day Minister Suarez had a conference with Fernando Ig leslas Caldron, head of the Liberal party in Mexico, and here on a private mission for General Carranza. While Mr. Suarez and Mr. Caldron are old friends, and their meeting was said to have been social, it is believed that they talked about the efforts being made to bring the two contending Mex ican factions Into communication so that there may be a change or gov ernment in Mexico City without fur ther bloodshed. Mr. Caldron holds the lew that unless the Huerta forces are ready to capitulate, conferences would be futile. General Carranza, himself, notified the United States through John R. Killiman. ex-American Consul at Sal tillo and now personal representative of President Wilson there, that under no circumstances would he sanction conferences with representatives of General Huerta to draft terms of peace. He told Mr. SUllman that only the un conditional surrender of the authori ties at Mexico City would be accepted. General Carranza explained in detail why It would be impossible to engage In peace parleys with Huerta delegates. The constitutionalist chief said he had consulted all his Generals and their unanimous opinion was that the plan of Guadalupe, providing that he himself as President ad Interim, take military possession of Mexico City, be carried out to the letter. Carransa Promises Order. Carranza assured the American rep resentative that the constitutionalist forces soon would enter Mexico City and maintain order there. The sugges tion was made by Carranza that the Huerta forces surrender uncondition ally and that he would give ample guarantees for the protection of life and property. The constitutionalists have been In formed by the United States In une quivocal terms that they will not be accorded recognition If excesses are committed on their entry Into Mexico City. The Washington Administration and the South American mediators are not relaxing their efforts to bring about the change of administration In Mexico City without disturbance and to avoid further bloodshed. While no formal conferences will be held, plans are making for the transmission of sug gestions between representatives of the two factions with a view to effecting the transfer In quick time. Precedent of lxto Cited. Local constitutionalists said the precedent of 1860 might be followed. Tyhen Miramon, who had overthrown Benito Juarez, the legally-elected Presi dent, was crushed by the revolutionist, who also called themselves "constitu tionalists." Miramon abdicated, leaving executive authority in the hands of the "Ayunta miento." or the City Council. That Hu erta or Carbajal should retire, leaving the police power of the City of Mexico in the hands of the Council until Gen eral Carranza could reach the capital, Is the suggestion advanced by Fernando Igleslas Calderon and other rebel rep resentatives. The constitutionalists say their mili tary campaign has progressed too far to admit of compromises. A complete triumph of the revolution must be real ized and no transaction should be entered into which could be construed as legalizing the government of Huerta. For this reason the rebel will not ac cept executive power direct from the hands of Huerta or Carbajal, but hope to assume It directly after the brief Interregnum of the City Council. General Carranza, it was learned from official dispatches, will arrive In Tamplco in a day or two. From there he will be in readiness to proceed di rectly to Mexico City should an agree ment be reached for a change in ad ministration there. AMERICANS RETURN- FIRE Brisk Rifle Exchange Staged Near Dog Springs, N. M. DOUGLAS, Ariz., July 13. A brisk exchange of rifle fire, without damage to either side, took place between three Ninth Cavalry troopers and 15 Mexican irregulars Sunday night, three miles ast of Dog Springs, N. M. According to reports reaching here, the Mexicans opened fire a short dis tance north of the border when they were surprised in the act of rounding up and stealing a number of cattle belonging to American ranchers. The Mexicans retreated into Cblhauhau when their fire was returned. Another brush between the Ninth Cavalry border patrol and Mexicans is reported to have taken place near Antelope Wells, X. M., when the Mex icans are said to have begun shooting across the border. There were no cas ulatles. Vera Cruz Victim's Body En Route. VERA CRUZ. July IS. The body cf the late Captain Clarence S.

Elfelgo Baca, counsel for General Jose Ynez Salazar, the Mexican federal nfTiopr held Drisoner with the other Mexican federals, received a telegram today to come to Fort wingate at once at Salazar's request. A rumor gained circulation here and in El Paso yesterday that Salazar had escaped. This Is officially denied by the com manding officer at Fort Wingate, who reports Salazar in confinement. Baca says Salazar was to have re ceived a considerable sum of money, $30,000 or more In gold, this week, and .v.inva hi. ..Ttflr(Tnflnt may have been the result of discovery of an alleged plot to liberate tne prisoners, ;n coiavaM w.c Bii.nArtffi of belna im plicated.

Plemont Morgan and William Rock .fn th rvimmlslon finds to be clearly in violation of the Sherman anti-trust act and a monopoly in prac tical control of transportation of five states. The commission's report is unusual in the manner in which the directors of the New Haven are scored for their deeds. It speaks of criminal malad ministration and negligence, asserts with positlveness that the directors knew they were perfecting an illegal combination and says that the dream of a transportation monopoly was un sound and mischievous. The New Haven. the commission says, employed dummy directors, ma nipulated accounts, used questionable methods in increasing its own stock, paid dividends of subsidiaries to make a showing and used many other devices to deceive the stockholders and the public. It dipped into politics, was factor in "Invisible government, made large campaign contributions to the two dominant political parties, bought officials and tried to distort public opinion. All this it did, the commission says, "to carry out a scheme of private transportation mo nopoly. Imperial in its scope." "If these directors, who were raitn- less to their stewardship, were held responsible In the courts and at the bar of public opinion for their failure to do those things they should have done, the lessons to directors who do not di rect would be very salutary," says the report. Neglect Held Criminal. "Most of the directors of the New Haven accepted their responsibilities lightly. They failed to realize that their names gave cnfidence to the public and that their connection with the corporation led the public to in vest. When these directors were neg ligent and serious losses resulted there from, they were guilty of a grave dereliction of duty and breach of trust that was morally wrong and criminal In its fruits. "Directors should be made individ ually liable to civil and criminal laws for the manner in which they discharge their trust. A corporation can be no better or worse than those who oper ate It. It should be just as grave a crime to plunder a railroad corporation as it Is personally to rob an Indi vidual.'" $8,000,000 May Be Recovered. Of all the millions lost to New Haven stockholders, the commission estimates that possibly $,000,000 may be re covered by proper action. Evidence in its possession tending to show vio lations of the laws of New York, Mas sachusetts and Rhode Island has been turned over to the proper executives in those states. The Department of Justice has been furnished with a complete record of the testimony obtained by the Com mission, but there is no Federal stat ute under which the Government can aid the stockholders in recovering any of their losses. A suggestion Is made that any expenditures in violation of the anti-trust act were beyond the powers of the directors, and raises the question of whether the directors may not be held personally responsible to satisfy any losses which resulted. "Directors." the Commission de clares, "cannot without accountability deplete a corporate treasury In ven tures which are in violation of the laws of the land." Interlocking Directorate Scored. In Its investigation the Commission found that the New Haven bad 336 subsidiary corporations, many of which served no purpose except "an evil one." The report, pointing out that on the New Haven board were repre sentatives of the Pennsylvania Rail road, the New York Central, the United States Steel Corporation, the Standard Oil Company, the Pullman Company and many Interests, says that inter locking directorates of this sort can not be "too strongly condemned." This, it was suggested at the capitol during the day, probably will have its effect upon the trust legislation now before the Senate, and may end the talk about leaving the provisions aimed at Interlocking directorates out of all the Senate anti-trust legislation. The Commission discusses the ques tion of Immunity which may have been given to witnesses against criminal prosecution by the Government which led the Department of Justice to urge caution in the conduct of the inquiry. It declares that only such witnesses as seemed necessary were summoned and says "evidence of wrongdoing, such as was discovered, is difficult to obtain: that such transactions are "conducted in secret and in the dark" and finds full Justification for Its action in the resulting discoveries. "End Must Be Now," la View. "The insuring of honesty through the management of the great railroads of the country is a most Important ques tion before the American people today," says the report in conclusion, "and only when through the exposure of wrong doing and awakened public conscience, coupled with effective laws, results are produced, may railroading be placed on the high level that it should occupy. The revelations in this record make It essential for the welfare of the Nation that the reckless and profligate finan ciering which has blighted this rail road system be ended, and until this is fully done there will be no assurance that the story of the New Haven will not be told again with the stockholders of some other railroad system as the victims." Evidence that agents of the Commis sion did not have an easy time securing Information it desired was contained In an appendix filed with the report. On July 9, D. E. Brown, accountant of the Commission, wrote to Commissioner McChord, who has directed the investi gation, that his efforts to get at facts about the New Haven had not been met in a friendly spirit by J. P. Morgan & Co. Brown wrote that full access- to the Morgan records bad not been grant ed him, as had been promised; said he was unable to cay whether he had been allowed to Inspect all New Haven trans actions on their books, and was given only such correspondence as the Arm submitted. Lane on Conference Committee. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington. July 13. (Special.) Senator Lane was today appointed a member of the conference committee to adjust dif ferences between the Senate and the House over disputed items In the In dian appropriation bill. INTERSTATE TRADE BILL IS ATTACKED Senator Reed Says Public Sentiment in Favor of Leg islation Is Menaced'. MERGE MEASURES IS PLEA Missouri Democrat Says No New Remedy Is Proposed Borah Says There's Plenty of Law but Too Little Enforcement. WASHINGTON. July 13. Attacking the Administration Interstate Trade Commission bill on the floor of the Senate today, Senator Reed, of Mis souri, Democratic member of the Ju diciary committee, urged that the In terstate commerce and 'Judiciary com mittees should work out the trust leg islation Jointly with a view of consoli dating all pending measures on the subject. Senator Reed declared that the un fair competition" section of the trade commission bill would dispel public sen timent in favor of trust legislation without trivinir the people a single rem edy not already accorded them by the courts. Moreover, he declared, he did not believe the people ever wquld sanc tion a bill which would place the busi ness of the country in the control of a board governed by no rule of conduct except its own concepts of right and wrong. Specific Amendment Wanted. Senators Newlands and Saulsbury, of the interstate commerce committee, re peatedly urged Senator Reed to suggest amendments to the trade bill to make it more specific. Senator Nelson, another member of the Judiciary committee, attacked the trade commission bill as merely "nib bling" at the trust problem, while pre tending to solve the entire problem. He declared the unfair competition section would act as a protection to trusts which had felt the uncomfortable ef fect of the Sherman anti-trust law. Senator Newlands demanded a vote on the unfair competition section, so that the country might know if Sena tors were in favor of preventing big concerns driving out of business little competitors before the big concerns reached the stage of monopolies. Senator Borah declared the bherman anti-trust law. as interpreted by tne Supreme Court, prohibited acts tending to monopolize as wen as monopouea. Borah Cites "Need." "There is plenty of law," he insisted. What we need Is somebody to enforce it. What we need is to put a few Dig fellows where they belong." 'In places of honor, Interrupted sen ator Nelson, who Is strenuously oppos ing the confirmation or Thomas u. Jones, a director of the International Harvester Company, as a memDer or the Federal Reserve Board. The iudiciary committee continued its work of whipping the Clayton bill to supplement the Sherman law into shape. RATIONS ARE STUDIED WAR DEPARTMENT TESTS FOOD VALUES WHILE IN MEXICO. Troops, Being; Isolated From Base of Supply, Face Conditions Similar to Those In Actual Warfare. WASHINGTON, July 13. War De partment officials are watching with interest the outcome of certain experi ments with Army rations, at Texas City, Tex., and at Vera Cruz, where the troops are separated from the bases of supply, making conditions similar to those prevailing in the field in time of war. Based upon their observations in the two camps, officers will make reports upon the nutritive value and digestive properties of certain of the rations, as well as upon various devices evolved to conserve the health of troops on field service. To further experiments to determine the value as food products of dehy drated vegetables, 25,000 rations of po tatoes and onions have been requested. First it was decided to try out this diet on one of the companies of the Twenty Third Infantry at Texas City, but it was found that such a task would oc cupy one company more than a year. So the dehydrated vegetables will be distributed among all of the commands at Texas City, and General Bell, com manding the Second Division, may add dehydrated vegetables to the men of the troops at Vera Cruz. Upon the results obtained during the next few weeks will depend whether dehydrated vegetables supplant those fresh from the garden on the Army bill ot fare. 50 FILE ON SAME LAND (Continued From Firt Page.) $2.50 an acre, and that to do this It wanted to get "dummy" settlers, from whom it would buy the land back at a prioe of $15 for each million feet of timber and "get a clear title" for itself. He understood that he was to be a "dummy," he said, but on cross-examination maintained that he considered the proceeding "legitimate." Miss Gaucher, who was Logan's stenographer, was asked by District Attorney Reames to tell the Jury all about a "bell code system" that she had mentioned as being used In Lo gan's office. Methods Are Exposed. . "We had two rooms," said Miss Gaucher, "a private office and a gen eral office, with a bell system between, and a buzzer In the private office. "By appointment, as people would come in and Mr. Logan would be talk ing to them he would press the buzzer, which would ring In the private office. Mr. Miller (J. B. Miller, of Tacoma. now dead) would then leave the private office, go out in the hall, and come In the general office as If he had come from the street. Then he would pose as a man who had Just bought land, or who had Just come up from Oregon, where he had seen the land, or who wanted to buy land, according to the people that were In the office." "As a matter of fact, Logan and Mil ler were working together?" asked Mr. Reames. "They were," said the witness. "Suppose," said Mr. Reames, "Mr. Logan had some one in the office who was about to purchase land, what would Mr. Miller say when going in?" "Sometimes, but not always," replied Miss Gaucher, "he would go in and was ready to buy land: he had heard about it and the property appealed to him." Psychic Treatment Used. "Now what would he do?" asked Mr. Reames. "Were there times when peo ple would come in and find fault with what they had done in taking loca tions, and be cross about It?" "Yes." m "When this happened, how would Miller come in?" "Then he would be a man who had Just come up from Oregon, had bought the land, had seen It down there and wa3 well pleased." Max Hoffman, of Two-Dot, Mont., who gave his occupation as a New Thought lecturer, told how he met J. J. Wilson, a brother of the man referred to by Miss Gaucher. On Miller's advice, he "took a claim," paying $150. Later Hoffman came to Portland, he said, and met Mlnard, whom he de scribed as "looking a lot more pros perous" then than he did as he ap peared in the courtroom. Minard, as he appears In court, is a pathetic figure. He has about two weeks' srrowth of srray beard, his clothes are old, he wears no collar and has a general "run-down" appearance. The Government Introduced as evi dence a photograph of Mlnard, said to have been taken In 1909. when he was ensraeed In "locatine" people on the railroad lands, which showed him as well dressed. On meeting Minard In Portland, Mr. Hoffman said, Mlnard explained the land scheme to him, and said that peo ple who located were taking some chance, but that if the railroad com Danv won in the suit brought by the Government to forfeit the grant, there would be no question but what tney would want people on the land. Minard told him, Hoffman said, that he was "acting attorney" for the Oregon & California Railroad Company. Thus reassured, Hoffman said that he got all his friends to make "locations." It was in September, 1913, he said, that he received his first intimation that all was not right He received a letter from Minard, he said, saying that he had better stop taking applica tions for locations, as a new United States Attorney had been appointed who asserted that the locations were fraudulent. Mlnard Admits Deceit. He heard from Mlnard again In March, 1914, he said, at which time Mlnard told -Mm that the Federal grand Jury had adjourned without in dicting him "or his confederates." Hoffman said that he was dum founded when he received a subpena to appear as a witness In the present case. He came to Portland, and went out to Mlnard's house, and there on July 3 last, he said, Mlnard told him for the first time that he was not attorney for the Oregon & California Railroad Company. Hoffman said Minard told him to be careful, not let the Government have any letters, and to see Mlnard's lawyer at once. The case will be continued today, the Government still presenting its witnesses. ALL BALLOONS ARE DOWN "GOODYEAR" WINS ST. LOUIS RACE, GOING 300 MILES. Berry, - Veteran Aeronaut. Who Met Elements In Portland Race, Runs Into Electrical Disturbance. ST. LOUIS. July 13. The balloon "San Francisco 1915" landed 11 miles southeast of McLeansboro, 111., at 10 o'clock Sunday morning, according to a telegram received today from E. S. Cole, the pilot. McLeansboro Is 95 miles southeast of St. Louis, and the , balloon covered about 106 miles in an air line. All eight balloons that started from here last Saturday noon now have been heard from, and the winner of the Na tional elimination race to select the third American entrant to the Inter national race that will start from Kan sas City next October is the balloon "Goodyear." The balloon landed at Constance. Ky.. about 300 miles from St. Louis. The two other entrants for the in ternational race are the men who won first and second place in the last Inter national race R. H. Upson, of Akron, O., and H. E. Honeywell, of St. Louis. The dispatch to the Associated Press from Cole said: "Balloon San Francisco 1915 landed easy 11 miles southeast of McLeans boro at 10 o'clock Sunday morning, actually traveling 108 miles in a round about course In light variable winds." Captain John Berry, pilot, who en countered a severe storm In the Port land race In June, and Albert von Hoffman, aide, of balloon Aero Club of St. Louis, which landed In a wheat field five miles from Terre Haute, Ind., Sunday afternoon, returned to St. Louis today and gave the details of their flight. "The atmospheric conditions were most peculiar," said Captain Berry. "We were ascending rapidly and had but little ballast. I applied the blow, which extends the balloon and cools the gas. but in this case the air was so hot that the balloon acted like a hot air bag and shot up from 6000 to 9000 feet In less than ten minutes. We had put In about 1600 cubic feet of air. "The wind seemed to be In whirls. We drifted around in circles, hovering around St. Louis until 9:30 o'clock Sat urday night. We could hear distant roaring of thunder all night. We watched the storm gathering all Sun day morning. "It was Impossible to make a long distance flight under the atmospheric conditions."

The apple crop loss can not be estimated. The streete of Ellensburg were min iature rivers for 30 minutes or more. While the storm was at its height the volunteer firemen were called for emergency. In the suburbs and out lying districts many ranchers had hay down, and in some eases the loss will be heavy. A second storm visited the city this afternoon, but was light. While the lightning played havoc, little damage was done, . RISH FETE PASSES WITHOUT TROUBLE Rival Nationalists and Orange Processions Jeer at Each Other; Police Act. LEADERS' SPEECHES FIERY Battle of Boyne Celebrated With Tremendous Knthnslasm but With Apparent Feeling t Great Responsibility. LONDON. July 13. The recognition of the danger in the existence of two armed volunteer bodies seems to have imbued Irishmen with a sense of added responsibility, for the battle of the Boyne was commemorated with tre mendous enthusiasm, but with less dis order than In previous years. Following the custom, a great pro cession marched from Belfast to Drumbeg. where Sir Edward Carson, the Ulster Unionist leader, made his now-familiar speech defying the gov ernment either totally to exclude Ulster from home rule or come out and fight. Police Maintain Order. Lord Londonderry at Ennlsklllen, and Walter Hume Long, Unionist mem ber of Parliament for Strand, at Gar vagh, made speeches in a similar vein to other big gatherings of Ulster men, but no disorders were reported at any point up to a late hour tonight. Rival Nationalists and Orange pro cessions at Glendermot reached the stage of jeering at each other and for a few moments it looked like trouble. but the police succeeded in keeping them apart until the danger was over. One feature of the situation seems to be that while Sir Edward Carson and the other leaders are using un restrained language, both Ulstermen and Nationalists are showing admir able self-control. Another feature Is that the more defiant the Ulster lead ers speeches become, the more pro nounced becomes the feeling among the members of Parliament on both sides that a satisfactory compromise eventu ally will be reached. Home Rale Is Law Soon. Premier Aaquith announced In the House of Commons today that the pres ent session of Parliament would come to an end about -the close of August and that the new session would begin In early Winter, which Is thought to mean December. Before the present session ends the government will in troduce its proposals for the reform of the House of Lords. Under this arrangement heme rule and Welsh disestablishment automati cally will pass into law by the end of August. LAIDLAW TRIP IS UPHELD Miss Hobbs Likens Criticism to Tem pest in a Teapot. SALEM.
