American nations will her asked for
their approval. Nona of . tha Mexlca
factions were represented In today'a
conference.
Carraaaa Aaaei la Hla Clalaa.
Before entering tha meeting each of
tha Latin-American diploma ta waa
notified on behalf of General Carransa
that It would be futile to auggeat re
storing the constitutional Una of gov
ernment In Mexico by choosing a mem
ber of the Madero Cabinet for Provi
sional President which has been sug
gested by soma of the other faction
notably General Villa. Herberto Bar
ron, a special emissary from General
Carransa. presented to each of the
diplomats Carransa's latter of some
weeks ago to President Wilson, setting
for his claim to the Presidency. .
Ona point en which there' seemed to
bo unanimous agrement was that there
shall ba no prolonged diplomatic ex
changes with Carransa. as there was
during the Niagara conference. The
message which will go to him will be
delivered by American Consul Sllllman
at Vera Crus. now Sllllman. under
.definite Instructions from Washington,
will insist on an answer within a
stipulated time.
Pswers Prepared ta Follow,
General Carransa. will be asked to
lay down his arms and Join with his
adversaries in establishing a govern
ment which the United States will rec
ognlse. The leading powers of the
world, now awaiting tha American
Government's action, are prepared to
follow.
The alternative In tha event that
Carransa declines to yield is not en
tirely clear. So far as Villa, Zapata
and other Mexican leaders are con
cerned, there Is said to be a definite
understanding among' officials of the
Administration that they are ready to
participate In a peace conference.
There has been no denial of the sug
gestion that all the other factions. In
the event of Carransa's continued re
jection of proposals, would participate
In a conference to name a provisional
president and orgnlse a government
which would have the moral support
of the United States and Latin America.
To support such a goernment, an em
bargo on arms against all who resist
It would be enforced by the co-operating
natlona.
Further Plana Not Disclosed.
Further .steps tht might be neaes
ssrv are declared to have been care
fully outlined by the President but
they hse not been disclosed.
An Important part of Mr. Fuller's
report concerned negotiations witn
other Mexican leaders conducted during
the last two months by agents of he
Washington Administration, Including
Mr. Fuller himself. The results of the
conferences with General Felipe An
geles. Diss Lomhardo, Manuel Bonllla
and General Villa himself were dls
closed. All were favorable to the gen
eral nroDOsltlon. Villa expressed hli
willingness to ellminset himself
neace can be assured.
Thus the preliminary negotiations
necessarily revolve around Carranza.
On his answer much depends as to the
nature of the final plans.

PARIS, Aug. 5. The first meeting of
the Chamber of Deputies since -tne

comnleted. was marked today by ex
traordlnary demonstrations ot patriot
ism. Paul DeschaneL Ha president de
clared In an Impassioned speech tn
the year for. France had been full of
glory, so pure that It would "Illumi
nate forever the human race."
"Be the war of short or long dura
tion. France accepts it" M. Deschanel
declared. "The country la summoning
its genius and chsnglng its methods.
Each French soldier, before tne enemy,
reDeats the words of Joan of Arc: 'You
can enchain me, but you cannot enchain
the fortunes of Franca' These touches
of human grandeur come from the
depths -of the muddy trenches."
A message from president poincare
read to both deputies and senators laid
emphasis on the "sacred union of the
political parties in France," calling this
one ot the .conditions of victory. He
declared this union was more firmly
established today than ever before. "If
Germany is counting on the possibility
of dividing France at the present time
she Is deceived today as completely as
she was a year ago. .was one of the
passages In M. Polncare's communication.
Referring to the army the President
said:. i
"The army, composed of the very
substance of the nation, at once un
derstood the grandeur of its role. It
knows it Is fighting for the. safety of
our race, for our traditions and for
our liberty. It knowa that upon the
victory ot Franoe and her all lea de
pends the future of our civilization and
the fate of humanity."
M. Polncara brought hla message to
a close with this:
"The only peace the republic-can ac
cept is one which will guarantee the
security of Europe."

PORT ANGELES. Wash.. Auir.
(Special.) Better weather could not
have been made to order for marine
training purposes than that encoun
tered by the Oregon Naval Militia on
ks three days' cruise on the United
States cruiser Albany from San Fran
Cisco, to Port Angeles, Wash. The
cruiser with the militia and regulars
dropped anchor tn Port Angeles har
bor at 10 o'clock this morning, after
three days of sailing under various
conditions.
A series of thrills and near acci
dents added to the life of the cruise,
On leaving San Francisco . unusually
high seas were encountered. The cruis
er, which Is noted for its pitching and
rolling abilities, danced about in lively
fashion for nearly 24 hours. Then an
extremely smooth sea was encountered,
giving the men an opportunity to re-
cover from their - seasickness. Then
came fog. The cruiser had to feel Its
way for about 12 hours during the tirp.
t ire broke out in the main top and
caused a real fire drill. It was extin
guished with the loss only of some can
vas and rope.
While traveling through the fog late
last night the cruiser came suddenly
on a fleet of fishing vessels anchored
without lights near1 the lightship at
the entrance to the Straits of Juan de
Fuca. A collision with one was nar
rowiy averted and the cruiser, had a
number of thrills In dodging others.
While following up the straits, a Brit
ish man-of-war patrolling the .Cana
dian coast was sighted and saluted.
The salute was returned.
The arrival in Port Angeles was the
signal for commencement of plans for
target competition, which is to be held
to the east of this place. All during
the cruise, which so far has covered
about 1700 miles, the militiamen have
been working on the five-inch guns
preparing for target practice and
competition. The actual competition
will take place either Saturday or Sun
day, depending on the weather condl
tiona Large floating targets have
been built ready for launching and the
gun crewa have all been organised
and trained. ,
The Oregon men will go out after the
National Navy trophy, which is to be
given by the Navy Department to the
state militia making the greatest num
ber of hits per gun per minute. Also
the crews will compete for the big
white Navy E, which will be given to
all members of the crews who make a
percentage of hits sufficient to qualify
as pointers. Officers of the naval mi
litia have put up a cup for the division
making the best shooting record; and
the staff will give a pin to each mem
ber of the crew making the best record.
There are four gun crews and two
divisions ready for the competition.
The cruise so far has been on of edu
cation instead of pleasure. The militia
men have been put through the real
naval strains 11 during the trip. Regu
lar work has been done by all. aa well

He explained that 1200 parts were por

"What does this have to do with

tioned Mr. Cake.
'It has everything to do with It,
returned Mr. Bllyeu. "The drawings

paper' my thoughta on coin handling
machines In the first part of 1898."
- Federal Witness Contradicted.
Mr. Bilyeu then flatly contradicted
the testimony of Nelson C. Oviati, of
Detroit, Inventor of the Payograph ma.
chine, who has testified for the Govern
ment that Mr. Bilyeu appropriated for
himself the idea of the coin ejecter
and the selecter bar, which are Integral
parts of the Bilyeu machines, from
plans Mr, Oviatt submitted to him in
uly, 1909, to work out as a mechanical
engineer.
'Mr. Oviatt never furnished roe any
plans or drawings in relation to this
machine at all," said the witness with
emphasis. "I had the ejecter and
selecter idea in mind months before
met Mr. Oviatt.
Mr.. Oviatt came to my place and
said If X would let him in on my ma
chine he would pay half the cost of
making the model for a quarter inter.

to questions from Attorney Cake.

up any money. I told him If he ex

chanlcal workings to the court and
ury. The model was based, he said, on
the decimal system as against the unit

separate key ras required for every
coin unit. '
The baslo mechanical principles em
bodied in this model, Mr. Bilyeu ae
lared. were the same as those used tn
11 the company's machines built later.

fied further that he had applied for a
patent In September as soon as tne
model was completed, and for an ad
ditional patent In October.
After demonstrating; his second mod
el, the original Bilyeu automatic cash-
er. as it has been called tnrougn tne
trial. Mr. Bilyeu testified that he had
applied for two additional patents on
it. He said that a patent on this model
had been issued November 3, 1911,
The next model demonstrated oy Mr.
Bllveu was that of a currency-paying
machine, operating on a vacuum princi
ple. For inventing thia machine, he
testified, he did not get a cent In money
or stock from the company, although
e was promised stock. He said he had
two applications for patents on the
machine.
Pay for Model Not Received.
Following the questioning of Mr.
Cake, the witness related the-tCireum-
stances under which his machines were
taken over by the United States Cashier
Company. He first sold his model to
the American Cash Record Company,
which was organized to take it over,
for $25,000 cash and a quarter interest
In the company, he testified.
"Ever get any of the 125.000?" asked
Mr. Cake.
"Not a cent of It." said the witness.
Later, he explained, the United States
Cashier Company, on the failure of the
T. Irving Potter coin machine model,
on which the company expended 1120.
000 trying to develop lit, bought the
Bilyeu cashier machine rights from the
American Cas Record Company for
1200.000 cash and $60,000 In stock.
"Tou were to get one-quarter of that
through your quarter interest in the
Cash Record Company?"
Yes, a quarter of the cash and a
quarter of the stock, or 1600 shares."
"And did you get your quarter ot the
cashr" i
Company! Indebted ta Inventor,
"The United States Cashier Company
still owes me $14,000," said Mr. Bilyeu.
"They settled some real estate on me
for the rest of it"
As to the stock, he said that he had
first got 1800 shares, but. had turned
back 800 shares, leaving htm 1000. Of
this, he testified, a few sales had been
"Did you get anything else from
the Cashier Company?"
"Well," said Mr. Bilyeu, "the com
pany bought my Mexican patent rights
for $15.000 and I got paid In real es
tate. Then I received the proposition
that if I developed a currency paying
machine, the company would sell my
stock for me at $12.50 a share net
They never did, though."
"Did yo uever have anything to do
with helping the company financially?"
asked Mr. Cake. -
Company's 'oe Taken Up.
Mr. Bilyeu said that Mr. Menefee,
when cash for payrolls was running
short, had once sought to raise money
on a note at a bank In Hlllsboro,
"They told him they would let him
have the money if he got -me to Indorse
it," said Mr. Bilyeu. "I did indorse It"
"And afterwards T"
"And afterwards It was my privilege
to pay the $4300."
Up to becoming a director of the
company in 1913, Mr. Bilyeu said, he
knew little about its management.
"After I wenton the board," he conr
tlnued, "it became evident that rad
ical changes were necessary if It were'
to live."
"What changes?" queried Mr. Cake.
"Well, one was Its establishment in
an Industrial community. I was one of
those who took an active part in es
tablishing the company on what we be
lieved was ap ractlcal basis."
