THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN. PORTLAND. NOVEMBEB 15, 1914. PLAN TO EVACUATE VERA CRUZ STANDS Funston to Turn City Over to Whatever Faction Is Pre pared to Receive It. AGUILAR IS LIKELY MAN composed of the Governor. Secretary of State and State Treasurer, several days ago, and the Commissioner 'was asked to appear before the Board and answer the charge. . "What have you to say for yourself?" asked Governor West. "I have this to say, that I don't know hardly any of those persons whose names appear on the petition," was the quick response. "They are not fruit growers, and I believe they .are . real estate men. "I have been too active for some of them. I will not get out. I never have laid down under fire In my life and never will. The Board may put me out, but If It does the responsibility will rest with It." The district comprises the counties of Coos, Curry, Douglas. Lake, Klam ath, Jackson and Josephine, and has about 200.000 acres of orchards. The Board took the case under ao- PLAYING CHARGED POLITICS TO WEST State Treasurer and Governor Clash at. Board of Control Meeting. If Official of Aguas Callentes Con vention Appears With Control of Territory, However, Ho Will Win. WASHINGTON. Nov. 14. While awaiting official confirmation of the report from Mexico that a truce had been arranged ty leaders of the Car ranza and Aguas Callentes claimants to control of the central government, the Washington Government allowed Its order to General Fiuiston to stand tonight, and Vera Cruz will be returned to Mexican control November 23, unless some radical change in the situation there prevents. The American expeditionary force at Vera Cruz will embark on that date for Galveston, and the Mexican fac tions will be left to work out their own destiny, the policy of watchful wait ing having been altered In no respect. Trace Regarded as Hopeful. State Department officials looked upon the reported truce,' however, as a. hopeful eicn. They believed that if the leaders had been able to bring it about, there was good reason to be lieve it could be extended for a long enough period to permit the Aguas Callentes convention to carry out Its avowed purpose and arrange for the election of a provisional president to succeed General Gutierrez, nominated ajt president ad interim. Although Secreatry Bryan declined to say today to whom General Funston would surrender custody of Vera Cruz, it la believed his instructions are to turn the city over to whatever de facto authorities appear to receive it. It is not the Intention of the Washington Government to recognize any faction in Mexico through this transfer. Responsibility Held at End. Assurances have been received both from General Carranza and from the Aguas Callentes convention authorities that the guarantees required by the United States- would be forthcoming and Washington officials feel that their responsibility ends there. General Candldo Aguilar, a Carranza supporter, has been encamped with his troops Just outside Vera Cruz for many weeks, having been sent by Carranza to receive the city from the Americans when they withdraw. Unless General Aguilar Is withdrawn in the meantime it is believed General Funston will leave the city in his possession. Should an official appointed by Agua3 Callentes convention chiefs appear, however, with sufficient control of the surrounding territory to warrant his claim, the transfer will be made to him. In other words. General Fun ston will hand over Vera Cruz to the man who presents himself with the means to receive and protect it. no mat ter which faction he may represent. Priests and Nana Disguised. Although orders had been sent to General Funston to allow Mexican priests and nuns to sail from Vera Cruz on the transport San Marcos, it was not known definitely today whether they had actually left or not. The San Marcos might have left port, it was said, before General Funston received the instructions. It Is under stood 49 nuns and 11 priests have been living disguised In Vera Cruz for some time past, accepting places as ser vants and laborers to a-void falling Into the hands of the constitutionalists. Consul-General Silliman is believed to have followed General Carranza from Mexico City to Cordoba, where the first chief has taken up his tem porary headquarters. The State De partment had no word from him and knows nothing officially of what Is going on In Mexico City. ITVACCATIOX BIAY BE OPPOSED United States May Bo Asked to Hold $1,000,000 Collected. EL PASO, Tex., Nov. 14. Enrique C. Llorente, diplomatic agent to Washing ton of the Villa faction, declared today he believed the Aguas Callentes con ventlon would oppose the evacuation of Vera Cruz by the American forces which definitely has been decided on by the Washington Government. Its ac complishment, he pointed out, probably would deliver the Important East Coast port to the Carranza government. He expressed the belief, however, that Gen eral Candido Aguilar, whose forces dominate the district surrounding the city, would recognize the convention. Regarding the disposition of the $1,000,000 which has been collected as customs dues by the American officials, the impression was gained that it would be agreeable if It would be held in trust by the United States until a permanent government had been established at Mexico City. Yet the convention might claim the money by virtue of the su preme power which Villa officials as sert the body holds. The Carranza fac tion, on the other hand, maintains that it alone represents the constitutional government of the republic. Carranza Men Buy Aeroplane. DOUGLAS, Ariz., Nov. 14. Agents of the Carranza officials at Agua Prieta purchased a big aeroplane today to be used against the Maytorena-Villa fac tion in Sonora. A quantity of bombs suitable for aerial use was bought at the same time.

Contention That West Is Trying to Crip ple Next Administration. SALEM, Or., Nov. 14. (Special.) At an exciting meeting of the State Board of Control today State Treasurer jvay charged Governor West with "playing politics" and attempting to cripple the next administration when the execu tive demanded that the estimate of an appropriation for the penitentiary for the next biennial period, prepared by Mr. Kay and Secretary of State Olcott, be trimmed $11,680. The Governor had not participated In any of the meetings at which esti mates for the various state institu tions were 'made, and the other two members of the Board understood him to say that whatever they did would be satisfactory to him. The superin tendents 'of the institutions who made the tentative estimates used as a basis by Messrs. Olcott and Kay also under stood the Governor as being favorable to whatever was done by the majority. However, today after Messrs. vay and Olcott had finished the work the Governor called a meeting of the Board and asked that the appropriation lor the Penitentiary be cut identically to the amount appropriated for the pres ent biennial period, notwithstanding Superintendent Lawson has estimated that the population for the next two years will be 450 as against 371 for the present biennial period. West Demands Retrenchment. Governor West 1 further demanded that the recommendations for $103,000 for building a wing to the Eastern Insane Asylum building and $60,000 for building a wing to the receiving ward at the asylum in Salem be eliminated. declaring that the state could get along without the improvements for two years. Despite his protests Messrs. Olcott and Kay remained firm and allowed the recommendations to remain as they were. Asked by Mr. Kay what items he wanted cut, the Governor said he did not care, just so the appropriation was made the same as it was for the pres ent biennial period. The maintenance fund in the estimate Is increased from $147,000 for 1913 and 1914 to $150,000 for 1915 and' 1916. This was recom mended by Mr. Lawson because of the estimated increase in prisoners. Be cause he had been accused of extrav agance the Governor said the proposed appropriation should not be more than the old one.

If he thinks 450 persons can be cared for for the same money he had for 371, why did It cost so much.' Governor Concurs la One Action, Messrs. Kay and Olcott Informed the Governor that the estimate had been based on the tentative one prepared bv Superintendent Lawson. The Gov ernor concurred in an increased allow. ance of $105,000 for the maintenance place of his money. Kuhn refused, and the youth then threatened to wrap him up in an oil-saturated quilt and set fire to it. Kuhn weakened and told- the youth where he would find $400. Bunch obtained the money, left the old man tied and departed. Neighbors found Kuhn the next morning and sounded the alarm. Bunch was trailed to Gardiner, where he was arrested last night. The pris oner was placed in a hotel under guard, and in the night destroyed $70 of his loot, which he had concealed In his underclothing.
