AGUE PRIETA, Sonora, Mex, July a.
The determination Of Mormon colonists
at Colenia Moreolos and Colonia Oaxaca,
south of here, to resist the demands of
prowling rebel bands, coupled with the
Mormon appeals 10, Washington, pre-
iented q bad situation today.
Most sef the Mormons are American
citizens They have armed themselves
and they declare they will fight to pro-
tect their property against rebel devasta-
ton. A few of the Mormons are natur-
llized Mexican citizens. and the. fear has
been expressed tnat this circumstance
might inpel the rebels to assume they
were justified In attacking the colon
lists If they resist demands for supplies.
General Sanjines, commander Of the
government forces in this section, today
was at Cienagas twenty miles southwest
Of Colonia Moreolos, but was said to be
unprepared to attack the rebels, as his
troops, mostly recruits, have not been
modified for action.

Mrs. Henning Says
All Charges Against
Funk Are False

CHICAGO, July Estates Attorney
Wayman today entered actively in the
Funk -Henning case with statement that
Mrs. Henning had declared as false the
allegations made against Clarence S.
Funk, general manager Of the Interna-
for damages for alleged alienation of her
affections.
Mrs. Henning is in Chicago" said
States Attorney Wayman. "She has con-
fessed that the allegations against Mr..
Funk were false. She has confessed that
she never knew Mr. Funk"
1t was believed that Mrs. Henning was
in the criminal court building ready to
go before the grand jury to testify that
she had been made party to the suit
against Funk by persons with ulterior
motives. Grand jury action is expected
today. ...
A detailed statement, throwing the bur-
den of the preparation of the case against
Mr. Funk on Henning's attorney, was
published here today.
The suit was filed last October seeking
$4,000 damages against Mr.. Funk, charg-
ing him specifically with associating with
Mrs. John c. Henning on several occa-
sions. At the trial verdict favorable
to Mr.. Funk was quickly returned by
the jury and perjury warrants were soon
afterward obtained against Henning and
Aileen Heppner, young woman who
swore she had seen Mr.. Funk and Mrs.
Henning in hotel. Her testimony was
fiatly ,contradicted by persons in whose
company she said she was at the time.

were completed today for the prohibition
national convention, which begins tomor-

headed by Charles r. Jones of Chicago,
the rival factions today participated in a
love feast on the steel pier. Though the
hatchet appeared to be buried there was
a persistent report that the convention
will develop contests in the resolutions

Platform, including recall of judges, equal
suffrage and proposal to change the
party name.
