CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON Market Sluggish and Prices Unchanged New York, June 20. The New York Kveuing Sun financial review today, says: Following a rather indifferent open ing of the Htock market today, in which the general' list moved uncertainly with in narrow limits, a disposition was manifested on the part of the profes sional element to launch a bull move ment in the hope of arresting the de clining tendency of Monday. The at tempt of the trailers was only partially successful and it booh became evident there was enough stock to be had from outside sources, partisularly from west ern points, to keep prices quite within bound. The reply of tho secretary of state to . the recent Carfranza ultimatum, amounting to a severe indictment of the first chief of the de facto government, shared interest with the mobilization of the state militia. As a market infill encer, however, the reply was negligible at this time. The railroad list showed, perhaps, tho most consistent strength and activity with especial buoyancy in Rending and Hock Inland, the latter advancing one poinwt. Chesapeake & Ohio, Union Pa cific, Norfolk & Western and others made gains of from one to two points. The Mexican issues, such as Amer ican Smelting and Aefining, Southern Pacific, (ireen f'ananea and the like, The Nation's Favorite Enatteir Nut There Is rallied from their losses of yesterday and made further gains of one to three points. In tho later trading there was a general reactional decline from the high level of the day and the trading almost came to a standstill at times.

No Better ii optiDiicO from Page Une.) ruthless brutality, but uncivilized acts of mutilation were perpetrated. Not withstanding representations to General Carranza and the promise of General Neffarett to prevent attacks along the international boundary, in tho follow ing month of October a passenger train was wrecked by bandits and several persons killed seven miles north of Brownsville, and an attack was made upon United States troops at the same place several days later. "Since these attacks leaders of :be bandits, well known to both the Amer ican civil and military authority's as well as to American officers, have been enjoying with impunity the lib'ity of the towns of northern Mexico. So far has the indifference of the le facto government to these ntrocities gone that some of these leaders, as 1 am ad- vised, have received not only the protec , Hon of that government, but encourage ment and aid as well." Points Out Depredations. Secretary Lansing then takes up, in coisidcrable detail, the more notorious "depredations" against Americans in Mexico and on American border towns. Among these instances all of which heretofore have been told in detailed press accounts, being largely verified, aro the Santa Ysabel massacre of IK Americans and the Columbus, N. M., j raid which the note declares, were car- ried out bv Villa. I Following the Cusi miniiik property raid in January, the note states, Cnr ranza authorities were appealed to for protection which was not given. Lansing emphasizes the point that Ambassador Arredondo "repeatedly gave assurances" that American lives would be protected, but. it is said, no move was made that appeared to be following out these assurances. It is pointed out "that so far as is known only a single man personally connected with this (the Santa Ysabel) massacre j has been brought to justice by the Mex- ican authorities." I "Within a month after this barbarous I slaughter o'f inoffensive Americans, it I was notorious that Villa was operating within 20 miles of Ciishihuirachie, and j publicly stated that his purpose was to i destroy American lives and property, j Despite repeated and insistent demands I that military protection should be furn ished to Americans, Villa openly car ried on his operations, constantly ap proaching closer and closer to the bord er. Hia movements were not impeded by troops of the de facto gov ernment and no effectual attempt was made to frustrate his hostile designs against Americans. Villa Unhindered. "Yet the Mexican authorities were fully cognizant of his movements. Villa's unhindered activities culminat ed in the unprovoked and cold blooded attacks upon American soldiers and citizens in the town of Columbus on the night of March fl, the details of which do not need repetition here in order to refresh your memory with the heinous ness of the crime. After murdering, burning and plundering, Villa and his hnndits, fleeing south, passed with' sight of the Carranza military post at Casas Graudcs ami no effort was made to stop him by the officers and garrison of the de facto government stationed there. "in the face of these depredations, the perpetrators of whiel General Carranza was unable or possib ly considered it inadvisable to uppre hend and punish, the United States had no recourse other than employ force to disperse the bands of Mexican out laws. The mnuratiders engaged in the attack on Columbus were driven back across the border by American cav alry, and subsequently ' were pursued into Mexico in an effort to capture or destroy them. Without co operation or assistance despite repeated requests by the United State and without apparent recognition on it fthe Carranza forces) part of the de sirability of putting an end to these systematic raids, America) forces pursued the lawless bands as far as l'arral, where the pursuit was halter' by the hostility of .Mexicans, presumed to be loyal to the do facto government, who arrayed themselves on the sido ol outlawry and became, in o'f feet, the pro-' fetors of Villa and his band. Carranza Inimical. "In this manner, and for these reas ons, have the American forces entered Mexican territory, knowing fully the circumstances set forth, tho de facto government cannot be blind to the ne cessity which compelled this govern ment to act and yet it has seen fit to recite groundless sentiments of hastility toward the expedition and to impute to this government ulterior motives for the continued presence of American troops on Mexican soil. It was charged these troops crossed the frontier without first obtaining the consent or permission of i the de fa "to government. Obviously, n8 immediate action alone could avail, there was no opportunity to reach an agreement if tho expedition was to be effective. Subsequent events and correspondence have demonstrated I to the satisfaction of this government that General Carranza would not have j entered into any agreement providing ! for an effective plan for the capture jand destruction of VillaiB band." Secretary Lansing next takes up in j detail Carranza 's last demands. Charges mat tins government had not fully ans wered a previous communication are flatly denied.

For sale by J. C. Pcrty, druggist. Carranza communication and purporting to Bhow this government had formally admitted that tho dispersion of the Vil la band had been accomplished, are cited. Unable and Unwilling. Mention is made of the Mexican gov ernment's suggestion that American troops be withdrawn on the ground that Carrauza forces are now so disposed as to prevent outlawry and border raid ing. "It wa-s because of these suggestions and General Scott 's confidence they would be carried out," says the note, "that he stated in his memorandum, following the conference with General Obregon, thnt American forces would be gradually withdrawn. It is to be noted that while the American govern ment was willing to agree to this plan, the Carrauza government refused to do so." General Carrauza is reminded that even while the border conference was on at El Paso and after American con ferees had been assured Carranza troops were able to protect the border, the at tack at Glenns Springs occurred. The note continues: "During the continuance of the El Paso conferences, General Scott, you asserted, did not take into consideration the plan proposed by the Mexican gov ernment for the protection of the fron tier by the reciprocal distribution of troops along the boundary. This propo sition was made by General Obregon a number of times, but each time condi tioned upon the immediate withdrawal of American troops and the Mexican conferees were invariably informed that immediate withdrawal could not take place, and that therefore it was impos sible to discuss the propect on that basis. Carranza Dodges Issue. "I have noted the fact that your communication is not limited to a dis cussion of the deplorable conditions ex isting along the border and their im portant bearing on peaceful relations of our governments, but thnt an effort is made to connect it with other circum stances in order to support, it possible, a mistaken interpretation ot the attitude of the government of the United States toward Mexico. You state in efefet that the American government has placed ev ery obstacle in the way of attaining the pacification of Mexico and that this, as shown by the volume of diplomatic representations in behalf of American interests was a constant impediment to recognition of the politcal, econom ical, and social conditions of the coun try, by the decided aid lent, at one time to Viila by American officers and by the department of state, by the aid ex tended by the American Catholic clergy to that of Mexico, by the constant ac tivity of the American press in favor of intervention and the interests of Am erican business men, by the shelter and supply of rebels and conspirators on American territory, by the detention of shipments of arms and munitions pur chased by the Mexican government and by the detention of machinery intended for their manufacture. In reply to this sweeping charge, I can truthfully af firm that the American government has give nevery possible encouargement to the do facto government in the pacifi cation and the rehabilitation of Mex ico. From tho moment, of its recogni tion it has had the undivided support of this government." Carranza Responsible. Charges in Carranza 's note to this government regarding influences in Am erica that have souglit to bring about intervention nre answered by citation o'f inflammatory articles that have ap peared in Mexican newspapers, despite power of censor held by Carranza. "With the power of censorship," says the note, "so rigorously exercised by the de facto government, the respon sibility for this activity cannot, it would seem, be avoided by that government and the issue of the appeal of General Carranza himself in the press of March 12 calling upon the Mexican people to be prepared for an emergency which might arise, and intimating that war with the United States was imminent, evidences the attitude of the de facto government toward these publications. "It should not be a muttor of sur prise that, after such manifestations of hostile feeling, the United States was doubtful of the purpose for which the large amount o'f ammunition was to be used which the de facto government appeared eager to import from this country. However, the policy of the de facto government in refusing to co operate and in failing to act independ ently in destroying the Villa bandits, or in otherwise suppressing outlawry in the vicinity of border so as to remove the dnnger of war materials, while pass ing southward through this zone, falling into the hands of the enemies of law and order, is, in the opinion of this government, a sufficient ground, even if there were no other, for the refusal to allow such materials to cross the boundary into the bandit infested re gion. Unconcealed Hostility. "Candor compels me to add that the unconcealed hostility of the subordinate military commanders o'f the de facto government toward the American troops engaged in pursuing the Villa bunds and the efforts of the de facto gov ernment to compel their withdrawal from Mexican territory by threats and show of military force instead of hy aiding in the capture of outlaws consti tute a menace to the safety of the American troops and to the pence of the border. As long as this menace con tinues and there is any evidence of pa intention on tho part of the de facto government or its military commanders to use force against the American troops instead of cooperating with them, the government of the United States will not permit munitions of war or machinery for their manufacture to be exported from this country to Mex ico. "Having corrected the erronous statements of fact to which I have ad verted the real situation stands forth in its true light. It is admitted that American troops have crossed the inter national boundary in hot pursuit of the Columbus raiders and without notiep to or the consent of your government, but the several protestations on the part of this government by the president, by this department nnd l.y other Americnn authorities that the object of the expe dition was to capture, destroy or com pletely disperse the Villa bunds of out laws or to turn this duty over to the Mexican authorities when nmured that it would be effectively fulfilled, have been carried out in perfect good faith by the I nitcd States. "Its efforts, honever, have been ob structed at every point, first, by in sistence on a palpably useless agree ment which you admit was either not to apply to the present expedition or was to contain impracticable restrictions on its organization and operation; then by actual opposition, encouraged and fost ered by the de facto government, to the further advance of tho expedition into Villa territory which was followed by tho sudden suspension of all negotia tions for an agreement for the pur suit of Villa and his followers, and the protection of the frontier; and finally by a demand for the immediate with drawal of the American troops. Anarchy Steadily Increases. "Meantime, conditions of anarchy in the border states of Mexico were continually growing worse. "In view of the actual state 'of af fairs as I have outlined it above, I am now in a position to consider the con clusions which you have drawn under your acknowledgment from the erron eous statements of fact which you have set forth. "Your government intimates, if it does not openly charge, that the atti tude of the United States is one of insincerity, distrust and suspicion to wnrd the de facto irovernnient of Mex- ico and that the intention of the United States in sending its troops to Mexico is I to extend its sovereignty over Mexican j territory nnd not merely for the purpose of pursuing marauders and preventing future raids across the border. the de facto government charges by impli cation which admits of but one inter pretation, that this government has as its object territorial aggrandizement ever at the expense of a war of aggres sion against a neighbor weakened by years of civil strife. The government of the United States, if it has designs upon the territory of Mexico would have had difficulty in finding during this period of revolution and disorder many plausible arguments for interven tion in Mexican affairs. Hoping, how ever, that the people of Mexico, wold through their own efforts restore peace and establish an orderly government, the United States has awaited with pn tientee the consummation of the revolu tion. "When the superiority of the revolu tion led by (ienernl Carranza became un doubted, the United States, after con ferring with six other of the American republics, recognized unconditionally the present de facto government. 1 hoped and expected that that gover meat would speedily restore or der. We Have Endured Much. "This government has waited month after month for the consummation of its hope and expectation. In spite of in creasing discouragements, in spite of repeated provocations to exercise force, tho government of the Uni ted States has refrained from aggres sive action and sought by appeals and moderate, though explicit, demands, to impress upon the de facto government, the seriousness of the situation. "In the face of constantly renewed evidence of the patience nnd restrnint of this government, in circumstances which only a government imbued with unselfishness and a sincere respect for 'the full sovereign rights nnd national j dignity of the Mexican people, would have -endured, doubts and 'Suspicions as ro me motives ui mo, yuvci inm-m ii the United States are expressed in your communication o'f May 22, for which I can imagine no purpose but to impugn the good faith of this govern ment for I find it hard to believe that such imputations nre not universally known to be without the least shadow of justification in fact, "Can the do facto government doubt that, if the United States had turned covetous eyes on Mexican tcrrtiory, it , could have found many pretexts in the past for the gratification of its desire? I Can that government doubt that months ago, when tho war between the revo lutionary factions was in progress, a much better opportunity than the pres ent was afforded for Americnn inter vention, if such had been the purpose of the United States, ns the de 'facto gov ernment now insinuates? What motive could this government have had in re fraining from taking advantage of such opportunities other than unselfish friendship for the Mexican re public? Slipping and Evasive. "You slate that even the American forces ulong the bonier 'find them selves physically unable to protect ef fectively the frontier on the American jside. ' Obviously, if there is no means I of reaching bands rov ing on Mexican i territory and malting sudden dashes at night into Americnn territory it is im (possible to prevent such invasions un less the frontier is protected by a cor don of troops. No government could be expected to maintain a force of this ! strength along the boundary of a nation with which it is at pence for the pur pose o'f resisting tho onslaughts of a few bands of lawless men, especially when the neighboring states makes no effort to prevent these attackN. The most effective method of preventing raids of this nature, as past experience haH fully demonstrated, is to visit pun ishment or destruction upon the raid ers. "ft is precisely this plan which the United States desires to follow along the border, without any intention of in fringing upon the sovereign rights of her neighbor, but which, although ob viously advantageous to the do facto government, it refuses to allow or even countenance. "The Mexican government further protests that it has 'made every effort on its part to protect the frontier' am I mat ii is doing -an possioio 10 avoid la recurrence o'f such acts.' Attention is again invite. 1 to tho well known ami unrestricted activity of De La Hosn, Ancieto I'iscnno, l'edro Vinos and oth ers in connection with border raids and to the fact thnt, as I am cdviscd, up to Juno , Do Lu Rosa was still collecting troops at Monterey for the openly avowed attack on Texas border towns, and that l'edro Vinos was recruiting nt other places for the same avowed pur pose. No Attempt to Stop Raids. "This does not indicate that the Mcx ican government is doing 'all possible' to avoid further raids. "It is suggested that the injuries suf fered on account of bandit raids nre a matter of 'pecuniary reparation' but 'never the cause for American forces to invade Mexicnn soil' " It has grown to be almost a custon not to set tle depredations by money alone but to quell such disorders ami to prevent such I.. .;,.,., I.,, .uiit ,i ....... ........ "The de facto government finally Suit Arose Oyer Construction of the Ryan Building " Oiher Court Decisions Tho Peerless Pacific. Company was today awarded the victory in its case in the supreme court against W. n. Kogns, the contractor who constructed the Ryan building on South Commercial street in this city, R. R. Ryan and Liz zie P. Ryan, the huiles K. Spaulding Logging Co.. the Falls City-Suleiu Lum ber Co. and the Pacific Mutual Ufe Insurance Co. of California. The action, as originally brought in the circuit court, was to establish the validity of a mechanic's lien against the Ryan prrqierty. Judge William Gal loway ruled that as the material used by Rogers in the building was sold him as a retail dealer and not to be used in the structure, the plaintiff had no valid claim. In today 's opinion, rendered by Jus tice Bean, Judge Galloway is reversed. The credit man of the Peerless com pany testified that Rogers bought the material with the understanding that it was to be used on the Ryan building ns the company otherwise would refuse i to grant credit. The laws provide that a person fnr ' nisliing- material for a building shall I have a lien on the building if the ma I teria is furnished at the instance of i an owner or agent. It is further prfi 1 vided that every contractor is held to .be an agent of the owner. On these grounds, then, the plaintiff is awarded j the filial decision and attorneys' fees i of 50. Other opinions handed down by the court were: Service and Wright Lumber Co., respondent, versus Suinpter Valley Railway Co., appellant, from Baker county Reversed and remanded, Jus tice Bean. James B. Brndshaw, respondent, versus Provident Trust Co., et nl, from Multnomah county, reversed by the court sitting en bane. The action con cerned real estate holdings. Delilah Becm et al, appellants, versus R. C. Mays, guardian of David Troy, respondent. Motion to recall previous mandate denied. This case originated through a misunderstanding as to" the accounting of the guardian nt the Trov estate. Justice Harris wrote the opinion. urges that 'if the frontier were duly protected from incursions from Mexico there would lie no reason for the exist ing difficulty.' Thus the de facto gov ernment attempts to absolve itself from the first duty of any government, namely, the protection of life and prop erty. This is the paramount obliga tion for which governments are insti tuted nnd governments neglecting or failing to perform it nre not worthy of the name. This is the duty for which General Carranza, it must be assured, initiated his revolution in Mexico and organized the present government and for which the United States government recognized bis government as the de facto government of Mexico. The government of the United States does not wish to believe that the de facto government approves these ma rauding attacks; yet, as they continue to be made, they show the Mexican government is unable to suppress them. Any Attack Means War. "In conclusion, the Mexicnn govern ment invites the l.'ited States to sup port its 'assurances of friendship with real nnd effective acts,' which 'can be no other than the immediate withdrawal of the American troops.' For the reas ons I have herein fully set forth, this request of the de facto government can not now be entertained. "Whenever Mexico will assume and effectively exercise that responsibility, the United States, ns it has many times before publicly declared, will be glad to have thiH obligation fulfilled by the de facto government of .Mexico. If, on tho other hand, the de facto govern ment is pleased to ignore this obliga tion nnd to believe that, in case of a refusal to retire these troops, 'there is no further recourse than to defend its territory by an appeal to arms,' the government of the United States would surely l,o la-king in sincercity ami friendship if it did not frankly impress upon the de facto government, that the execution of this threat will lend to gravest consequences. While this gov ernment would deeply regret such a result, it cannot recede from Its set tled determination to maintain its na tional rights and to perform its na tural duty in preventing further inva sions of the territory of the United Stntes a iii I in removing the peril which Americans along the international boundary have borne so long with pa tience and forebearance.
