ate hank and currency committee

Carlsbad, N. NJ, ryov. 13.-The re-

county, in which the travelling audi
tor Of the state informs Governor NC
Donald that there is a shortage Of
over $16,O in the accounts Of Coun-
ty Clerk o. Quinn and alleges other
grave irregularities, is openly resent
ed as malicious and insinuating in a
letter sent this morning by the board
Of county commissioners to the gov
ernor, and copies sent to various
newspapers Of the state.
The letter charges the auditor with
numerous misstatements, great ex
aggerations and misrepresentation
Of conditions in Eddy county, appar-
emily prepared with a wilful purpose
to injure the officers Of the county"
It attacks Governor Mcdonald for
conspiring in making the auditors
office a publicity bureau and claims
that the report is punishment heaped
on the commissioners for opposing the
arbitrary increases in Eddy county
valuations.

RESULTS

Nogales, Sonora, Nov 13.--General
Carranza, head of the Mexican con-
stitutionalists, said today he would
not accept mediation in any form By
the United States or any other for.
eign government He reiterated pre-
vious statements that the constitu-
tionalists desired only the right to
import arms and ammunition from
the United States.
carranza Waits Reply
With President Wilson in posses
sion today of the answer to the pro
position presented yesterday by the
American government, through Viii
liam Bayard Hale, General Venustia-
no Carranza, the patriarchal leader Of
the constitutionalists' revolt against
Huerta, awaited today a reply from
Washington.
The proposition presented by Hale
is understood to have been that the
United States would open the border
for the constitutionalists to obtain
arms if Carranza could guarantee the
establishment of order within a rea-
sonable time and the foundation of
real representative government in
the southern republic. This would
carry with 1t the certainty Of the eli
mination of Huerta without the nee
essity of armed intervention by the
United States.
Constitutionalists generally express
sed great pleasure today at the atten-
tions bestowed upon them by the Am
erican government in sending Mr..
Hale as an unofficial representative
of the Washington administration. 1t
seemed an auspicious augury "a de.
finite sign OF success for the consti-
tutionalists, and, as they put is, a
prediction of the redemption of Mex.
leo. yet the possibility Of interven-
tion by assembled forces Of the Uni
tied. States, the developments at Mex
leo City last night and the possibility
that Huerta might precipitate mat.
ters by some desperate act, worried
them
To Carranza all turned today for
advice and counsel. He is the eldest
as well as the first chief of the con.
stitutionalists. Although the entire
constitutionalist representation was
present at the meeting all the tallxins
was done by Hale and Carranza and
that was not much A silent man. the
constitutionalist chief, received The
American proposal and studied it
more than quarter Of an hour be-
fore he couched his brief answer.

checks should have been credited in

that it left discrepancy Of only SO
cents. This made distinct impress
sion upon my mind as [ was natur-
ally greatly pleased to know certain
" that only so insignificant an. error

I am wholly at loss to understand
why Mr. Earnest's report now appears

called to this error, nor will | assign
motive for his making and giving
publicity to a report he knew to be
incorrect. He certainly acknowledg-
