CARRANZA MAKES
ANOTHER APPEAL
Flat Refusal Avoided, Modifi
cation of Protocol Be
ing Object Sought.
VILLA GROWING FACTOR
AnveTltans to Consider Situation
and Give Answer to Colleagues
on Joint Commission Some
Day Next "Week.
WASHINGTON'. Dec. 2$. One more
nppeal for modification of the protocol
providing? for the withdrawal of Amer
ican troops from Mexico is made by
Oeneral Carranza is a message de
livered to Secretary Lane today by Luis
t.'abrera, chairman of the Mexican
member of the Joint commission. The
Mexican first chief replied to the In
sistent American demand that the pro
tocol signed by his (spokesmen at At
lantic City be ratified with an 800
word document in which he failed to
accede to the demand, but refrained
from writing anything that could be
construed as a fiat refusal.
The latest suggestions for changes
in the agreement now will be consid
ered by the three American represen
tatives Secretary Lane. J. R. Mott and
Judge George Gray. Secretary Lane
advised his colleagues late today of
the character of the reply and asked
them to meet with him here as soon
as they conveniently could.
Answer to Be -lcn Next Week.
Karly next week a Joint session of
the Mexican-American Commission will
be held, at which the Americans will
give the Mexicans their answer and
on its nature depends the future course
of the commissioners, who were di
rected moro than four months ago to
effect. If possible, the adjustment of
luestlons at issue between the two
countries.
Neither - Mr. Cabrera nor Secretary
Lane would discuss the nature of Car
ranza's reply. Mr. Cabrera left for
New York soon after its delivery and
Secretary Lane declined to reveal its
character until it had been submitted
to his colleagues. The same reticence
was displayed at tho Mexican em
bassy. Obstacles Not Insuperable.
It was learned that the Mexican
commissioners were confident that no
insuperable barrier had been raised by
Carranza. It was asserted that the
utmost care had been exercised to
keep out of the reply any expressions
or sentiments that might make the
situation more complex or that would
In any way offend the representatives
of the American Government.
The chief insistence of Carranza has
been that the American troops should
be withdrawn unconditionally, which
the American commisisoners would not
consider. It was indicated tonight
that Carranza's insistence on that
point was less pronounced now and
that the change in his attitude had
been wrought largely K the altered
military situation in Northern Mexico
Villa's Activities Embarrassing.
There appeared reason to believe that
one of the conditions to which Car
ranza now objects is that under which
he would be obliged to garrison the
territory evacuated by the Americans
as they marched out. It was pointed
out that since the protocol was
drafted the increased activities of
Villa and the steady growth of his
army of bandits has made It difficult
for Carranza to agree to use any con
siderable part of his army in the dis
trict now occupied by Pershing when
It might be necessary to use the same
force in meeting more active moves
of Villa at other points.
The situation was discussed by Mr.
Cabrera and Mr. Lane after the com
munication had been delivered. The
two men lunched together at. Secretary
Lane's club. They talked over In a
wholly informal way the objections
Carranza had to the protocol as it was
drafted, and Mr. Cabrera pointed out
that Mr. Carranza recognized the ne
cessity of maintaining the good will of
the United States.
.More Definite Date Requested.
Those who have been in touch with
Carranza's representatives asserted
that In his latest representation of the
case he expressed a willingness to
ratify the agreement if a more definite
date for the troop withdrawal were
specified and if a more lenient attitude
w ere displayed towards the question of
Increased bandit activity.
Carranza holds that his government
is doing all it humanly can to restore
order In the north, and that it will con
tinue to do so, but that the presence
of the American troops on Mexican soil
is making the task more difficult by
giving Villa and his lieutenants a pre
text for urging the disaffected to Join
him in his fight against Carranza.
The failure of Carranza flatly to re
pudiate the protocol made It appear
today that the Americans would give
his communication due consideration,
and that the next meeting of the Joint

the efforts to effect a solution of the
different problems.
Carranza's Power Menaced.
An interesting development In the
Mexican situation generally was pre
sented today in reports to the State and
War Departments of the changing con
ditions in Mexico. When the commis
sioners adjourned in Atlantic City there
were few Administration officials who
believed that Carranza's power was
seriously menaced. Since then official
reports have shown a strength in the
different reactionary groups that now
is recognized as dangerous.
The report persisted today that Ambassador-designate
Arredondo had been
recalled by his government and that
he was to be succeeded by Consul de
Negri, of San Francisco, who would be
in charge without diplomatic rank. Mr.
Arredondo denied the story categoric
ally and the State Department was
without information.

SHOWMEN DECRY DISTRUST
Organizatoin to Be Formed to Cor

NEW YORK. Dec. 28. Troubles of
the outdoor showmen were discussed at
a meeting here today, at which a com
mittee was appointed to effect a per
manent organization through which
showmen say they hope to correct er
roneous impressions that work to their
disadvantage throughout the country.
Chief among the latter, it was said,
the general distrust engendered by the
word "showman."
The men who represent their tent
show organizations in the United
States assert they "are tired" of being
classed with the riffraff who usually
follow tent shows and who have noth
ing whatever to do with the owner
ship or management. They also object
to what they termed "ruthless bleed

Commissioner McChord Says, How
ccr. That Agreements Have Been
Violated and That Rail
roads Are Stealing Cars.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 28. After an
all-day hearing the Interstate Com
merce Commission tonight took under
advisement the question of whether It
shall seek to solve the car shortage
problem by ordering all railroads to
return cars of bther lines to their own
ers immediately on unloading.
Railroad representatives, headed by
W. W. Atterbury. vice-president of the
Pennsylvania, and president of the
American Railway Association, ap
pearing in response to a summons to
show cause why an order should not
be Issued, earnestly urged against the
action. They declared that most of
the roads were doing their best now
to deal fairly with the public and
argued that a hard and fast rule by
the commission would Interfere with
operations and make the situation
worse.
Railroads Sharply Accused.
Commissioner McChord said the rail
roads seemed to pay no attention to
the orders of the railway association,
which has adopted various drastic
measures to relieve car shortage. "The
railroads." he said, "not only have
violated their written and verbal agree
ments, but they have deliberately been
engaged in the pastime of stealing
cars from one another."
When Mr. Atterbury objected, saying
that statement could not be accepted
as true, Mr. McChord said he had seen
a letter from one president saying that
other executives were not going to
heed the orders of the association's car
service commission.
"Don't condemn the whole system of
railroads because the present Intricate
plan is not working as smoothly as we
would like to see it," replied Mr. Atter
bury. Arbitrary Order Opposed.
He "contended further that the pres
ent was no time for an arbitrary order
by the commission; that January. Feb
ruary, March and possibly April were
months in which railroad operation
would be most difficult, particularly
as the roads had not had time to work
out tho new car service distribution
plans.
There is no car shortage for normal
traffic. Mr. Atterbury insisted, and
there should be no hard and fast com
mission order based on an abnormal
situation, which, for instance, had
transformed the Pennsylvania from a
car credit, or business originator, to a
distributing system for other lines
originating traffic.
All the railroad men scented danger
in any commission order because of
the law imposing $3000 fine for viola
tions of Interstate Commerce Commis
sion orders. W. A. Worthington. vice
president of the Southern Pacific, said
the Western lines have a large excess
of open cars and deficiency of boxcar
equipment, and that the proposed or
der, if rigidly enforced, might subject
his Hue to an accumulation of 823,000,
000 In fines.
