WILL APPOINT SUBSTITUTE.
Ambassador Creel Does Not Intend t,
Resign Enthusiastically.

Senior Enrique Creel, Mexican ambassador
to the United States, will not resign from
the enthusiastically to this country in case
he is elected governor of the state of Chi
huahua. At least, he will not resign the
Washington post until he has served here
for several years.
The ambassador is highly honored by
the nomination for governor of Chihuahua
which was recently given him at a meet
ing Of the Central Club of Chihuahua That
meeting correSponded to a political con-
venton in the United States. In June
the election will be held for governor and
the term of Office will not begin until Octo-
Der, continuing for four years.
Under the Mexican laws Senior Creel may
indefinitely, and II he is successful in the
election that will be done, and the am
bassador will cooperate with the acting
governor for the betterment of relations
between Chihuahua and the bordering ter
ritory of the United States.
Chihuahua is perhaps the most important
state of Mexico, because of the great
amount of mining development. Much for
eign capital is invested there, and practi-
cally all International questions arising be-
tween the United States and Mexico relate
to that state and the interests of Ameri-
cans having investments there. Conse-
Quently Senior Creel regards the governor
ship of Chihuahua as an honor he could
not decline. He is delighted with Wash
ington, however, and Is unwilling to leave
his post here without devoting several
years to the work Of bringing the United
States and Mexico into even closer reIa-
tions than now exist.

NEW EVIDENCE AGAINST HOLMES
Broker Van Ripper Testifies to
Window Signal
WAS PRECAUTIONARY MEASURE
Witness Thought IL Legitimate to Get
Information ANY Way He Could
Was Told BY Holmes That He Al
ways Made up Cotton Reports and
Hyde Always Accepted Them.

Washington, June 19-L C.. Van
Riper, the New YORK speculator, to-
day concluded his third day on the
witness stand in the trial of Edwin
Holmes, Jr., charged with divulging
the crop reports of the agricultural de-
partment He was under cross ex-
animation all day and very little that
was new was developed except a state
ment to the effect that Holmes had
told him that Haas had ON one occa-
sion given him $4,000 in one thous-
and dollar bills.
Van Ripper will conclude tomorrow.
Being questioned concerning Holmes
relations to Statistician Hyde, Van
Ripper said that Holmes always made
up the reports and Hyde never failed
to accept his recommendations to es-
Inmates. He contended that the WIN
dow signal arranged for in case Hyde
failed to accept Holmes figures on the
October report, was merely precau-
tionary measure and not because Of
any doubt. He did lot at that time
consider the signal arrangement wrong
because he considered it Legitimate
to get information any way you can"
MI. Van Riper had not concluded
when court adjourned for the day.
