iL BATTLES AT END, SAYS CARBANZA Mexican Chieftain Declares Effort Now Will Be to Put Down Lawlessness. TRIP WORTH IS PLANNED . . - Bnrrcndervof Opposition Leaders PredictedAmnesties AVlll Be De ferred Until Tranquillity Is Complete Fact. VERA CRUZ, Oct. lO. General Car. ranza received with great pleasure the news that the Pan-American conference at Washington had decided to recognize him as the defacto government in Mexico, although he pointed out that , he had received no official notice to this effect. He will not alter his plans for a "trip through the northern .states, for which he Is to depart tomorrow. In response to questions General Car ranza said: "This news puts an end to all efforts of all enemies to bring about foreign intervention. They con tinue their intrigues and attack us in newspapers, but recognition of the con stitutionalist government naturally will rob thein of the fruit of their efforts. Amnesty to Come Later. 'When peace absolutely is restored and tranquillity really established throughout the country, amnesty will be granted to all these persons, but not now. To permit them to return at this time would be to endure their machin ations within the republic. "The immediate effect of this -news will be a great moral strengthening of the cause of constitutionalism and a corresponding disheartening of oppos ing factions. There will be no more formal battles. Fighting of that sort already has ended, but naturally the struggle to put down minor outbreaks and lawlessness must be continued for a greater or less time in a country such as this, where there are extensive open areas. Surrender of Leaden Predicted. "Already these bands are disinte grating rapidly and their chiefs are surrendering. This development will bring the surrender of the leaders of the opposition, since the news of recog nition will remove from them further hope of success. This applies not only to those who are actually lighting in the iield, but to those enemies of the cause who are intriguing, both within the country and abroad. "News of coming recognition is pleasing, since it will renew and strengthen the friendly relations be tween Mexico and other nations." MEXICO CITT, Oct. 10. News of the decision to recognize the Carranza gov eminent was received with great Joy by the military element here. All the newspapers issued special editions. General Pablo Gonzales, commander of the Carranza forces in Mexico City, will hold a reception tomorrow in cele bration of the event. AUEltlC.VXS SCOUT DASGER Villa's Disclaimer ot ISesponBibJUty Causes No Alarm. EL. PASO, Tex., Oct. 10. Genera Villa's formal declaration to George Carothers, special agents of the State Department at Washington, that be cause of the recognition of the Car ranza government he would not hold himself responsible for the safety of the lives and property of foreigners, created little apprehension here today Of immediate danger to foreigners. American Consul Edwards, of Juarez, declared that there were few foreign era now in Villa territory, the largest body being in the Morman colony dis trict of Casas Grande. It was true, he said, that about 100 employes of the mining companies at Parral. on the branch line of the railroad from Jimi nez, had refused to obey the State De partment's advice with respect to re maining, but he did not believe they were in any danger. Half a dozen foreigners arrived from Chihuahua City today. They declared they came only on business and ex pected to return. Fear of an uprlsingat Juarez after the departure of General Villa last night for Casas Grandes has subsided. There was the usual large crowd at the bull flRht today and the town had the usual quota of foreign visitors tonight. The saloons, reopened after the de parture of Villa, were operating and the gambling halls were tilled. From a military source it was learned that General Villa had declared to Mr. Carothers that the United States and other foreign nations could not now hold him responsible for what Itappened to them, and while his bands would commit no depredations they would not attempt to stay operations of bands that might spring up.- S. 0.

PEOPLE IN MISERY Englishman Tells Awful Tale of Armenian Massacres. , FAMILIES ARE SCATTERED Cities Depopulated by Turks, With out Distinction or Religion or Kiches; Thousands Driven to Deserts to Perish. LONDON. Oct. 10. An Englishman who recently arrived at a Mediterranean port irora Turkey writes in reference to the Armenian massacres that "the tale is awful; the outlook is hopeless." He said: "The inhabitants of cities like Zeitun and Hadjin have been driven out like cattle and made to march long dis tances under the burning sun, hungry and thirsty. A large number from Zeitun recently reached Adana utterly destitute, many others having been left to die on the road. More than a thousand families from Hadjin recently arrived at Aleppo in the last degree of misery, and yet the purpose Is to send them much furthr. Famlltea Torn Asunder. "Husbands were forcibly separated from ' their wives and sent to places long distances apart. Children simi larly were separated from their parents." Another writer says: "Twenty-eight thousand persons are being removed by order of the govern ment from the district of Zeitun and Marash to distant places in strictly non-Christian communities. Thousands already have been sent into the prov inces of Ivonin. Keasrea and Kasta- muni. while others have been taken southeastward as far as Dierelzor and. reports say, to the vicinity of Bagdad. Their property they were -unable to sell, as they had only a few hours to prepare for the journey. The gov ernment is installing Mohammedan families in their homes. X Distinction la Made. "Rich and poor alike: Protestant. Gregorian, orthodox and Catholic all have been subject to the same order. Local pastors and pr'-its with their flocks without distinction, old. middle aged and young, strong and sick, have been driven in herds to the four points of the compass to a fate which none can predict. The sick drop by the way side, women in a critical condition giv ing birth- to children, which, accord ing to reports many mothers strangle or drown because of lack of means to care for them. "Fathers are exiled in one direction, mothers in another, and young girls and small children in still another. The accompanying gendarmes are told that they may treat tha women and girls as they wish." TRADE PROTEST PROBLEM (Continued From First Page). federate government or the Confederate army or navy. Great Britain acquiesced In this procedure and asserts that what she is doing now in seising goods destined for Germany through Holland or the Scandinavian countries is in ac cordance with American precedent. In connection with the important question of foodstuffs, which " the United ftrates contends and supports by British admission are contraband only when destined for enemy's military forces. It will be contended by this Government that we have the undoubt ed right to send meat products and grain to Holland and Scandinavian countries, whence they can be trans shipped to Germany and Austria-Hun gary for the use of the civilian popula tion. The allies undoubtedly - will' cling THE 3IORXIXG OREGOMAX, 3IOXDAY, OCTOBEK 11. 1915. tenaciously to their purpose to prevent foodstuffs from reaching the central powers. Freedom of passage for such cargoes would strengthen the Germans ana Austrlans and remove from them the fear of the strangling streets of the British blockade. On the other hand, the United States, which may become involved in war with a foreign power that is dependent on imports for a large part of its food, cannot go to the extent of agreeing that foodstuffs shall be free. It will reiterate the view that such products are conditionally contraband that Is, subject to seizure only if destined for the fortresses or the military and naval forces of the enemy. Similarly, the United States could not afford to have cotton placed on the free list. On the other hand, it is against its interest that it should be classed as contraband alongside of guns, rifles and the like. John Hay's View Recalled. The recognition, in principle, of the treatment of cotton as absolutely con traband might lead, as was observed by John Hay when Seeretarr of'State, to a total inhibition of the sale by neu trals to the people of belligerent states of all articles which could be finally converted into military uses. Mr. Hay added that such an extension of the principle by treating cotton as abso lute contraband of war simply because shipped by a neutral to a non-block aded port of a belligerent would not appear to be in accora witn tne reason able and lawful rights of a neutral commerce. li insisting that cotton shall De treated as conditional contraband, the United States will- place itself la the position of being able to seize this product, in case of war. when the des tination of the shipments proved to be the enemy's forces. It cannot prevent the material from going to the enemy's territory If evidence shall appear that Its use will be innocent. The British government noias mat in taking this view the United States is adopting an . attitude which it will regret in the future, when it is com pelled to employ all Its resources to defeat a powerful enemy. BRITISH TROOPS BITTER DISPARAGING ARTICXES MUCH BESESTMETT. CAUSE Munition Workers Visit Trenches and Find Germans Better Supplied i Appeal for Shells yiade. LONDON. Oct. 10 A party of muni tion workers, who visited the British armies In Flanders accompanied by the Parliamentary under-secretary for home affairs, William Brace, say in their report: -There is bitter and widespread re sentment among the officers and men at the front at the constant appearance in certain newspapers of articles dis paraging the efforts this country is making. The men who have endured and will endure the worst hardships and are campaigning with positive cheerfulness, are sickened at the per sistent depreciation of what they are doing out there and what the civil population is doing at home to carry on the war." Concerning munitions, toe conclu sions are thus summed up: "The supply of shells must not be merely liberal, but unlimited. "As regards the German position in this respect, we were repeatedly told, and could also see for ourselves, that their expenditure of shells was out of all proportion to ours. Their supplies must be enormous." The necessity for doing the best pos sible in all departments of munitions works is emphasized. Fair Yields 9300O for Belgians. STANFORD UNIVERSITY. Cal.. Oct. 10-.

COUPLE STILL ARE IN JAIL Georgia Solicitor-General to Go to Washington in Effort to Obtain Kxtradltion From Texas on Larceny Charge. ATLANTA, Ga., Oct. 10. (Special.) Another celebrated Georgia case will soon take its place on the calendar of the Supreme Court of the United States. This is the famous Innes-Nelma mystery. Solicitor-General Dorsey will figure in the case, which involves the baffling disappearance more than a year ago of the two sisters. Eloise Melius Dennis and Beatrice Nelms. No case, perhaps, in the court annals of Georgia, with the possible exception of the Frank case,' has attracted as much attention. The two sisters have disappeared as completely from the face of the earth as if the ground had opened and swallowed them. Whether they were murdered is a question that detectives the country over have never been able to decide. hum Still In Jail. Victor Innes, formerly of Portland, Or., with whom one of the sisters had business relations and who appeared to have received large sums of money in nanming property transactions, is under charges in connection with the muz DOBOIHV CISW ik' BRED IN THE BONE" World's Series on Electric Board at 11 A.

It is charged that Mr, Dennis. one of the missing sisters, turned over to them practically her entire fortune for investment In Western and Mexican nan, which investments never ma terialised. Mr. and Mrs. Innes are still in the County Jail at San Antonio Tex., where they have been since their arrest in Oregon. No actual proof of the deaths of the girls could be found and murder ndictments in Texas were dismissed. The Inneses are now fighting through habeas corpus proceedings to prevent their extradition to Qeorgia on the harges of larceny. The appeal to the nlted States Supreme Court was taken nen the Texas courts refused to grant the writs and-release them. Advance of Hearing to Be Asked. Solicitor-General Dorsey will -sro to Washington to appear before the Su- reme Court. He will ask to have the case advanced on the calendar for an mmedlate hearing. The outcome will determine whether the Inneses will be brought to Atlanta. It is understood that if the hearing is not advanced It probably will not be reached for another year The Nelms sisters, ao long missing, were the daughters of the late John W. Nelms, for many years Sheriff of this county. He left a considerable fortune, which his widow his two daughters and his son inherited. The mother of the missing girls and their brothers are now living in Atlanta. Mourning Hastens Friend's . Death. DEAD WOOD. S. D., Oct. 3. Albert J.
