Lieutenant Colonel Inziinra, Mexican

reported today that new complica
tions bnd arisen In regard to tho re

received nil order from General Joe
Kefuglo Velaaro, the new minister of
war, to prevent Hie lalng of tho
rails. The gap bad been repaired for
almost half of lis extent when tho or
der was received.
The situation at tho break In the
railway Is said to lte such that a num
ber of Mexicans who deslro to reach
Vera Crux, so as to leave the country,
nre unabla to do so because of tho
Impossibility of transferring their
baggage. Among tho fugitives who
arrived today from Mexico City on

paper Kl Imparclal and Joso Marin
lAtano. formerly minister compart
ment. Christie reported tho matter
to the Mexican federal officers, who
disarmed Lozano and Mlron In spite
of their Indignant protests.
Searched for Arms
When tho train reached tho gap,
Chrlstlo repeated his story to tha
American officers and all tho
Mexicans on tho train were thereupon
searched for arms.
Americans here rccnil that Mlron
and Lozano were amnog tho nio
bitter of the antl-Amerlcan officials
under tho Huerta regime. When
Nelson O'Shaughncssy, former Ameri
can chargo dc'affalres, protested
against personal attacks on htm pub
lished In Kl Imparclal, Mlron threat
ened to avengo himself on tho Amer
ican chargo and allowed It to be be
lieved that ho was prepared to shoot
him.
Mr, O'Shaughncisy was provided
with a personal guard by Qcneral
Huerta because of threats and be
cnuso It was known that Mlron
habitually enrried a revolver.
Pleads for WeaKim
Mlron tnlked freely nbotit tho In
cident In tho train on liln arrival here.
Ho said:
"I pleaded with tho Mexican sold
lers with team in my eyes to leav
my revolver becauso I was going Into
territory held by our alleged enemies
tho Americans. Suroly a onl

BRYAN FAVORS
EQUAL SUFFRAGE
FOR NEBRASKA
Commoner Issues Statement Declar
ing Himself In Favor of Votes for
Women Says Fair Sex Has
Proved Herself Equal (s Every Re
sponsibility Imposed Upoti Her.
WA8IIINOTO.V. July 17. Secro.
tnrr IJrynn In a formal statement I,
suod today, came out for woman suf
frage. Ho declared that ho would
ask no political right for himself that
ho wan not willing to grant his wife,
and announced his Intention of
supporting the proposed state consti
tutional amendment extending tho
franchise to women (o voted upon In
Nebraska next November.
Woman, Mr. Ilryan said, had
proved herself equal to every re
sponsibility imposed upon her, and
would not fall society In this cmer-
gency. Abovo all other arguments
In favor of giving her tho ballot he
placed the right of the mother to a
voice In the moulding of the environ
ment of her children. "The mother,"
tho secretary said, "can Justly claim
the right to employ every weapon
which can bo mado effective for the
protection ot those whose Interest!
she guards and the ballot will put
within her reach all the Instrunent
'allkles of government, Including tho
police power."
BUIement hi Full
The statement folio wg la full:
"The voters of Nebraska, will at
the election next November adopt or
reject a proposed amendment ex
pending suffrage, to woman oa equal
terms with men. As a citizen ot that
stato It will bo my duty to participate
In the decision to bo rendered at tho
polls. I have delayed expressing an
opinion on this subject, partly be
causo I have been seeking Informa
tion, and partly because my time has
been occupied with national questions
upon which tho entire country wan
acting; but now that the issue Is pre
sented In my state I take my posi
tion. I shall support tho amend
ment. I shall ask no political rights
for myself .that I am not willing to
grant to my wife.
"As man and woman are co-tenants
of tho earth and must work out
their destiny together, tho presump
tion Is on the side ot equality ot
treatment In all that pertains to their
Joint life and Its opportunities. The
burden of proof is on those who claim
for ono advantage over tbo other In
determining the conditions undn
whlch both shall live. This claim haa
not been established In tho mntter
of suffrage. On tho contrary, the
objections raised to woman nutfrago
appear to mo to bo Invalid, while tho
arguments advanced In support of
the proposition are, In my Judgment
convincing.
Answers Objections
"Tho first objection which I re-
membor to have heard was that as
woman can not bear arms sho should
not havo a voice In deciding questions
that might lead to war, or In enact

for their enforcement, this argu

reason that as civilization advances
