Carranza Advises Against Any Pos

Express Hopes of Surmount
ing Difficulties
LAREDO, Tex., 15 CO. IS. Nlceforo
Zambrano, general treasurer of the
Mexican de facto government, accom
pnnled by his secretary, Manuel Bache
Alcalde, passed through here today on
bis -nay to IVevr York and Washington.
He is said to be on a special mission
for Carransa.
PHILADELPHIA, Dee. 18. Sessions
of the Mexican-American Commission
likely will continue until near the
end of the -week, when adjournment
will bo taken until after New Tear's
day. There Is no prospect of a break
In the negotiations.
When the commission reconvened to
day after a three weeks' recess. Al
berto J. Pani reported the results of
his visit to Queretaro.
The exact character of his report
was not revealed, but it was learned
that while Carranza had not signed the
protocol drafted at Atlantic City, this
was not necessarily to be taken as
an indication that it would not be rati
fied later, the signature perhaps being:
that of Ambassador-Designate Arre
dondo, who is authorized to sign such
a, document. ,
JlfMage Not Signed by Carransa.
It was understood that Mr. Panl's
message was not signed by Carranza,
but it was. in the form of a communi
cation from the Mexican commission
ers. aut!ioviz.;d by the Mexican execu
tive and calculated to be an answer to
the statement by Secretary Lane,
chairman of the American commission,
made on the last day of the conferences
at Atlantio City.
Secretary Lane had placed before the
Mexican commissioners a supplemental
statement in which he had clearly in
dicated that the American Government
was determined to witness an improve
ment in conditions in Mexico and that
if it became necessary American troops
would be sent across the border in pur
suit of bandits and that no restrictions
as to how far the pursuit would be
carried out would be tolerated. "Al
though not included in the protocol
Carranza interpreted this statement as
vitally connected with the agreement
and has protested against the pursu
ance of such a policy by the United
btates.
To the conditions named in the pro
tocol for the withdrawal of American
troops now in Chihuahua under General
Pershing it is understood he made no
serious objection. Th terms for their
withdrawal are that, they shall be tak
en out within 40 days after ratification
of the protocol if in that time bandits
have not altered conditions in that parti
of the country so materially that the
peace of the border would be menaced,
and that Carranza would garrison the
territory as Americans are withdrawn.
Break to Be Avoided.
Carranza signed no communication to
the commission, but au.horized Mr. Pani
to draft and to submit , the statement
intended as a counter declaration of
policy. It was learned that the Mexi
can commissioners were empowered to
use their judgment in phrasing the
document and that they were urged by
Carranza not to cause a break with the
Americans if it could be avoided.
Tonight the attitude of the Americans
appear to be that the measure would
be considered carefully and it was in
dicated that they perceived in it no In
superable bar to further debate. A
break in the conferences is now unex
pected. Mr. Pani appeared today as the domi
nant member of the Mexican commis
sion, although Luis Cabrera retained of
ficially the chairmanship. He ex
plained verbally to the Americans at
the forenoon session the manner in
which Carranza received the protocol
and later discussed the details of his
visit to Queretaro with Dr. J. R. Mott,
of the American commission, at lunch.
The written report was placed before
the commissioners at the afternoon ses
sion. '
The Americans did not give the Mex
icans a reply, but after the late session
considered the counter declaration at a
meeting by themselves.
Mr. Pani said after the conference
that he believed a satisfactory arrange
ment would be reached and the Ameri
cans were hopeful that the meeting to
morrow would bring them nearer to an
understanding that would be followed
by the ratification of the protocol
either by Carranza himself or by some
one he might authorize to act for him.
war, was Indorsed last night in a
speech by John Howard Whitehouse,
Liberal member of the British Parlia
ment. Mr. Whitehouse is here studying
educational methods.
"The United Btates can be of great
help in promoting this suggestion at
the end of the war," declared Mr.
Whitehouse. "America has the oppor
tunity, the willpower and the humane
instinct tobring about the organiza
tion of such a league.
"The people of one country know
little of those of another and this con
dition always must exist until we have
better educational methods. The col
leges pay too much attention to ancient
history to the exclusion of knowledge
of the happenings of more recent date.
We must have international education.
"If we are to build up a great arbi
tration it must be done with less Na
tional feeling to construct this great
mission."

LONDON. Dec, 18. The renewal of
British activity in Mesopotamia is at
tracting attention. Nothing Is known
of the new movement except what is
contained in the official communica
tions. The near approach of the Brit
ish forces to Kut-el Amara Is not re
garded as necessarily of great conse
quence. General Maude has been in a
position to take the town at any time
the last three months.
The Times remarks that If. as Is pos
sible, the British now enter Kut, the
Turks will be compelled to evacuate
Sannay Tat 'Without the satisfaction
of resisting another frontal attack, and
adds:
"The Mesopotamia expedition Is In
a much happier position than it occu
pied at the beginning of the year. Two
light railways are being built and have
reached an advanced stage; the river
flotilla has been strengthened: spa
cious wharfage accommodation has
been accumulated, and the medical and
hospital organizations are now believed
to be sufficient. The early blunders
in Mesopotamia to a great extent have
been rectified. The ultimate object of
the expedition, however, is still obscure."

assuofption that the National Guard
now in the Federal service will be

GOVERNOR'S PLEA DENIED
Both Contestants In Arizona May
Claim Clralr January 1.
PHOENIX. Ariz., Deo. 18. Superior
Judge Stanford today sustained Gover
nor-elect Campbell's motion to quash
the contest proceedings inaugurated
by Governor Hunt. The court held that
because the Secretary of State has never
issued a certificate of election to Camp
bell, the court has no official knowledge
of the result of the election and Is,
therefore, without jurisdiction.
Governor Hunt immediately took an
appeal to the Supreme Court and it Is
expected the matter will be taken up
there tomorrow by stipulation. Mean
time the ballot inspection is suspended.
Unless a decision is reached before
January 1 or. a court order is secured
It is probable that both Governor-elect
Campbell and Governor Hunt will claim
possession of the office. On the face of
the certified returns Campbell is elected
by a plurality of 30 votes. Governor
Hunt claims irregularities in counting
the ballots.
BOMB "PLANTING" ALLEGED
tablish an alibi for Warren K. Billings.
under life sentence for murder, Robert
Miner, spokesman for the International
Workers' Defense League, announced
here today. Billings' conviction was
in connection with a bomb explosion
which killed 10 spectators and wounded
40 during the parade. . ' .
According to Miner, a print 6T te
photograph now in possession of the
defense shows Tom Mooney and Rena
Mooney. his wife, both under Indictment
for murder, on the roof of a building.
while a street clock shows the time to
be one minute past 2. A witness in
the Billings trial swore that he saw
Billings and Mooney at the scene of the
explosion, many blocks away, at ap
proximately that time. According to
Miner, if It can be proved that Mooney
was not there the presumption is that
Billings was not. Miner said.
ARMY IS SAFE
Government Takes Ntrst Steps to
Connect Consulate With Signing
of Checks That Were Issued
to Suspects as Payment.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 18. Charges
that A. Carnegie Ross. British Consul
General in i5an Francisco, had plotted
with eecret agents to discredit repre
sentatives of the German government
in this city were made by the defense
today in the trial of Franz Bopp and
six others, charged with conspiring to
violate American neutrality oy uehLruy
lnsr munitions of war destined for the
entente allied governments.
Otto O. Orr. a private detective ana
a Government witness in the trial, said
on the stand, today that he had seen
Johannes Van Koolbergen. one of the
defendants, carry a bomb with a clock
exploding device to the office of the
German Consul-General on August 18.
1915.
He said that Van Koolbergen was
admitted to a room In the Consulate of
fice usually occupied by Oonsul-General
Bopp.
Display 'of Bomb Related.
Van Koolbergen displayed the bomb
to himself and to W. A. Mundell. head
of a private detective agency. Orr tes
tified. "Don t you know that the bomD
was taken to Consul Bopp's office as
a result of a frame-up between detec
tives and British Consul-General A.
Carnegie Ross?" asked Theodore A.
Roche, one Of counsel for the defense.
Orr denied that he had such knowledge.
Miss Viola Taylor and Miss Alice Far-
re, 1. telephone operators at the Palace
Hotel in this city, testified that they
had seen Lieutenant Wllhelm Von
Brincken, military attache of the Ger
man Consulate, and one of the de
fendants, in conversation with Van
Koolbergen. who had been in the em
ploy of the German Consulate at dif
ferent times. Court was adjourneu
while Orr was still on the stand.
Orr to Take Stand Tomorrow.
He will again resume testimony to
morrow morning.
The Government made Its first attempt
definitely to connect Frank Bopp, Ger
man Consul-General, with alleged un
neutral dynamiting conspiracies for
which he and consular attaches have
been on trial In the United States Dis
trict Court for two weeks.
"Who signed consulate checks?"
asked United States District Attorney
Preston of Frederick Jessen, a clerk
in the consulate, who was on the wit
ness stand.
"Mr. Bopp," replied Jessen.
Definite Connection Sought.
Theodore Roche, of counsel for the
defense, objected, with the declaration
that E. H. Van Schack, vice-consul and
also a defendant, likewise signed
checks.
"I intend to prove," Preston answered.
"that up to the time the grand jury
began investigating the evl(knce in this
case, Bopp was the only one in the
consulate who could sign checks. I
will prove that Von Schack's name was
written In on the bank card after that.
It Is the purpose of the Government
Preston said, to connect Bopp up with
the money paid by the consulate to
Louis J. Smith and C. C. Crowley for
alleged dynamiting activities. Smith
and Crowley are defendants, but Smith
is chief witness for the Government.
Alexander Kathlen, a San Francisco
truns. aeajer, woo was a witness to
day, said Smith came into his place one
day last July with a "roll of money
so big I couldn t get my two hand
around it. It was the day Smith said he
received the money from Von Schack.
August Kdgke, a stone quarryman
on the outskirts of -Detroit. Mich., tes
tified as to Smith's attempt to buy
dynamite there in 1915.
' Fruit Shipping Declared Blind. .
Stephen Mitiovich, a Fresno, Cal.,
fruit man, told of Crowley a represen
tations that he was about to engage in
shipping fruit to Russia in 1915.
The Government" alleges this was a
blind to cover plots to place bombs
aboard ships for Vladivostok.
Mrs. Fanny Bence, proprietor of a
store at h oodland, near Tacoma, Wash
testified she saw Crowley several times
during May, 1915, when Smith and
Crowley were supposed to be operating
in Northwest ports. He left a suit
case in my store once for Smith. I'm
glad 1 didn t suspect there was dyna
mite in it. said Mrs. Bence.

DODGE INJUNCTION STANDS
Ford Restrained In Use. of Profits to
Develop His Business.
DETROIT, Dee. 18. Three Circuit
Judges today denied the petition of
Henry Ford that they annul the tem
porary Injunction which restrains the
Ford Motor Company from performing
development work. The injunction
granted for 60 days, was obtained re
cently by John K. Dodge and Horace
E. Dodge, motor-car manufacturers and
stockholders in the Ford Company. The
Dodge brothers are seeking a perma
nent injunction to compel Ford to use
the profits of his 'company for divi
dends Instead of for developing his
business.
Ford's attorneys argued today that
contracts for the construction of a
large smelting plant near Detroit were
let' some time ago and that the Ford
Motor Company would lose a large
amount of money unless the work could
be resumed,- Immediately.

PARIS, Dec 18. The Roumanian
army is now safe, according to news
received In Paris last night, says the
Petit Parlslen. The paper says that
the survivors are now beyond the
Sereth River at Jassy and In Hessara
bla. where they are being regrouped
and refitted In view of further opera
tions. The entire Roumian front is
now said to be held by the Russians
alone.
After the Bucharest-Ploechtl line
was lost, the story says, the Russians
sent divisions and forces of cavalry to
support the retreat of the Roumanian
army. King Ferdinand fell back as
rapidly as possible, assured of the pos
sibility of reforming behind the shelter
of the Russians, and continued , the
withdrawal without halting until, the
iseretn was crossed.
The Russians offered strong resist
ance to the Germans in the region of
Buzeu. so as to permit engineers to
construct a defensive front between
RImnik Sarat and the Danube marshes,
on which front, it is said, the Rus
sians intend to stop the a,dvance of the
invaders.
