my personal feeling for Judge Lane, he

Don't you think it would be good idea
to call attention to that7 heard it." He
happened to be here and heard that and
he said, Don't you think you had better
call the commissions attention to that?.'
I came in this morning with that idea In
view and heard Mr.. Silver and Judge
Lane talking, and took part in the con-
versation. I want to say this, as far as
Mr.. Silver Is concerned I have had ex-
perience with Mr.. Silver on another prop
osition and found him absolutely fair and
right, but a layman will misunderstood
the meaning of a statement that a lawyer
would not.
Now, Judge Lane said: 81 would not

timony." Now, the papers state fur

would" Mr.. Weatherly did not say
that; Mr.. Weatherly said: Il am in
favor of getting at the bottom of that"
Mr.. Silver said he saw the force of
this and stated he would correct it.
Captain White: 1 want every particle
of legitimate testimony, legal testt-
mony, that can be brought out to be
brought out. 1 have not objected to 1t,
but l do protest against hearsay testi-
mony, against mere Imagination, mere
conclusions, mere arguments. This is
the last time l expect to mention 1t,
but l do not want it understood that
l am consenting to 1t because I am
not Directing every time. I objected
at the start. I made my objection to
the charges on the ground that 1 did
not think they properly informed the
defendant. The commission differed
with me about that and said they
would take it as 1t was. I am not
going to make any objection to hearsay
testimony or any other kind of testi-
mony but in justice to myself as a
lawyer I want to say l do protest
against hearsay testimony, which has
been excluded in every tribunal l have
been in, except possibly justice court.
and 1 do protest against imaginations
and conclusions.
Commissioner Ward: Captain, we took
a great deal of hearsay testimony in the

Judge Castor: 1 happened to be on
the other side and protested as vigor-
ously as Captain White, but got over

Captain White: That don't justify it.
Commissioner Weatherly: I think the
commission understands your position
about it.
Judge CASTOR: Do you gentlemen
want to vote on the resolution before
we proceed?

witness and we will read 1t when Mr..
Ryall comes back.
After the conclusion of Mr. Glenn

examination of DIR. r. V. Mobley, the

VILLA DESTROYS
THAT CARRANZA
VISIT CHIHUAHUA
Rebel Dictator at Loss to
Understand Chiefs Atti-
tude-Explains His
Recent Actions

chihuahua Mexico December 26.-Why
General Carranza- recognized head of the
revolution, has not moved his headquar-
ters from Hermosillo to the center Of
military activity at Chihuahua became an
unanswered question about General Vii
las headquarters today. General Villa,
who had expressed himself as being in
fun accord with General Carranza, and
who had formally invited him to Chihua-
hua. had received no notification of his
chiefs intention to come.
General Villa has been compelled to
exercise much more than military au-
thority his advisers say, because Gen
eral Carranza has not assumed here the
civil responsibility of the rebel govern
ment. Iermosillo, the capital of Sonora
state. is more than 300 miles from this
city, is without railroad communication
and has only indirect Geographic COM
munication. The rebel government thus
has its chief executive separated by a
range of mountains from the bulk of his
army.
The explanati3l given by rebel agents
arriving from Hermosilo was that Gen
eral Carranza thought the situation on
the west coast too important TO permit
his venturing so far from it.
1t was because, on his arrival here, he
found an absence of government and no
one but himself to make one, General
Villa said today, that he assumed the
power to confiscate property, expel the
Spaniards and issue currency.
1.-The people had no one to look to but
me, and l have dispensed justice in ac-
cord with the principles laid down by
General Carranza," said General Villa.
Crowds of persons daily visit the state
capitol to have their differences adjusted
by the rebel chief. Seated in the gov
ernor's room overlooking a small plaza,
where a military band plays almost con-
stantly, he receives those who have griev-
ances, one at a time A woman who has
lost a COW, a merchant who has had his

expedition against the federals at DINA

Villa does not intend to go southwark

He did say that in regard to a minor
statement of some hearsay evidence of a

While in Fifth alley, near Twenty-first

that he was shooting at burglar. Rich
ardson was struck in the abdomen and
from the first there was little hope OF
recovery.
The deceased had been telegraph OPP
orator for the Southern railway for sew
eral years. He is survived by his widow

Rebels to Attack

Juarez. Mexico, December 2e.-The reb-
els march to attack the federals at Dim
aga. opposite Preside, Tex. was pro-
ceeding as fast az the artillery of the
rebels would permit according to reports
today. It was thought the rebels would
be delayed in going through the canons
near Ojinaga.
Luis Estrada, a federal agent, gave out
Information at Preside that the federals
had no intention of remaining at Ojinaga
to permit the rebels to attack them. He
said the federals probably would move
westward along the Rio Grande toward
Juarez. This report was given no cred
ence by the rebels.
For the first time within year freight
traffic on the Mexican Northwestern rail-
road was open today from Juarez to the
lumber camp at Pearson The service will
be extended to MADEIRA and to Chihuahua
when the road is repaired.

To Extend Bank Holiday

Mexico City, December 26-The bank
holiday decreed by President Huerta tic
be in effect until January 2, probably will
be extended beyond that time. A high
banking authority today said It was not
unlikely that the period in which no
bank paper may be presented will be
fixed at go days beyond the first of the
year. He said also that within that
period the banks probably will be re-
lieyed from obligations to make any spe-
Gle payments and that all banks bills,
in addition to those recently indicated
by the presidential decree would be made
legal tender The bills of the Central
bank and those of the Bank of London
and Mexico, were those recently indicated
as legal tender.
The financial situation, while still pam

The run continued heavy on the Bank OF
London and Mexico until the closing hour,
the Withdrawals aggregating close to 49,
000000 pesos and upwards of 100000 in gold
at current exchange rates. Bankers hold
the opinion that this institution is sol
vent and believe the proposed plan tn

ample relief. The president of a leading
bank, the condition of which is above
suspicion, suggested the first holiday re-
lief measure and now sanctions the ex-
tension of the period

Rush Extended

The rush to exchange state bank bills
continued today at the Central bank, but
was less pronounced than on previous
days. Bank of London and Mexico bills,
although looked upon with suspicion by
the average individual, are accepted with
out question by business houses and other
banks.
The governments success in obtaining
additional funds from Paris bankers as
recently announced is not expected to
afford the administration any relief in
procuring cash. Those familiar with con-
ditions explained that the loan merely
means that bankers who hold securities
on which interest is falling due will ac-
cept bonds in lieu of cash, knowing there
is no other alternative. From the same
source the opinion is expressed that the
governments income from internal rev.
enues will be sufficient to enable 1t to

EMBODIES THEORIES
OF VIM. J. BRYAN
Ex-senator Aldrich Attacks Wilson Ad-
ministration Currency Bill in
Speech.

New York. Oct l6-Former Senator
Nelson w. Aldrich of Rhode Island, last
night attacked the Wilson administra
tion's currency bill now before Con-
press. which he declared embodied the
theories of William j. Bryan, in q
speech delivered at the closing session OF
the national conference on currency re-
form.
He denounced the bill as unsound, So
cialistic and revolutionary, characteriz-
ing it as "An endeavor to secure by par
tisan legislation the triumph of doctrines
and principles that had received repeat
ed condemnation of the American peo-
pie at the polls"
He quoted Woodrow Wilson's writ
fngs to indicate that the president, in
earlier days, had entertained beliefs con-
trary to the provision of the bill
'If this bill should be enacted into
law" Mr. Aldrich asserted, "Mr. Bryan
will have achieved the purpose for which
he has been contending for decade"
The speaker characterized the provis-
ions for government control as contrary
to the teachings of every great Demo
cratic leader from Andrew jackson and
Thomas II. Benton to Samuel j. Tilden
and Grover Cleveland.
