Gen. Villa permitted those who had
passes to board the train, but as 1t
vas about to leave he personally ap-
peared and ordered assessments. one
Mexican merchant said he left the

transacted in Chihuahua at present Is
that pertaining to the conffscatien OF

NO FINANCIAL AID
TO MEXICO IN PARIS.

Paris Dec. 1S,-Efforts of the Mex
lean government to raise money in Eu-
rope in order to meet the interest on
its obligations falling due in Janu-
ary, have been futile so far. The Parls
and London banks, which took $40 0000,-
0G0 of the loan authorized by the Mex
lean Congress in the spring, and an
option on the unused remainder, de-
cline to exercise their option for the
present even for q few millions.
The authorization given by the for
mer Mexican Congress, is considered
by the possible lenders as guarantee
for the recognition of the transactions
by future governments of Mexico su-
periol to any contract or agreement
that Provisional President Huerta can
now make.
The Mexican minister of finance
Adolfo De La Lama, now in Europe,
brought with him authority from
Huerta to intimate to the banks here
holding the option that they must
either exercise it or surrender it. The
bankers refuse to do either.
A threat has been conveyed to them
cautiously that their option may be
revoked. SO that the unpsed portion of
tho loan may be placed elsewhere. The
bankers have replied resolutely that
the contract cannot be revoked sum-
rarily as Mexican credit would be in
& worse position after such a revoca-
tion than it was before.
The situation has, therefore, reached
a deadlock

SAYS MURPHY MUST
KEEP HANDS OFF.
Ebbets and Murphy in Con-
troversy---Exact Status of
Tinker Deal Made Public.

New York, Dec 1S.-President Charles
Fl. Ebbets OF the Brooklyn baseball club
made public today correspondence rela-
tive to the deal whereby Joe Tinker was
sold by Garry Hermann of the CincIn
natl club to Brooklyn for s25,000. Eb
bets evidently feared that Charles w.
Murphy of the Chicago club might not
understand the status of the deal, for on
Dec. Il he telegraphed the Chicago club
president: Have purchased the release
of Tinker. Please do not confer with
him."
Murphy wired in reply the next day:
Your telegram received and l commend
you for your enterprise. You need have
no fear that l will have anything to say
to Tinker. He will greatly aid the Brook
lyn club
On Monday, Dec. Is, Ebbets telegraph
ed again to Murphy: Reported that you
are quoted as saying If the Cincinnati
club gives me permission I will start ne
gotiations with Tinker right away You
wired me on the 18th that You need
have no fear that l will have anything
to say to Tinker Thus you as well as
all other baseball authorities recognize
the validity Oh tne uedi. NOW, IL yOu
are correctly quoted, then you are violat-
ing the National League constitution be-
cause Tinker belongs to the Brooklyn
club. Please keep your hands off.
Supplementing this telegram Ebbets
wrote to Murphy requesting that Muir
ply meet and tell Tinker that the Chica-
go club could not secure the former Gin
cinnati manager and that Ebbets had
stated that Tinker was the property OF
the Brooklyn club and was not for sale
or trade at any price. Murphy replied
by letter that he had not seen Tinker
and had no intention of comforting with
him. He denied that he was responsible
for statements attributed to Tinker, but
wrote that he was ready and willing TO
arrange a deal with either the Brooklyn,
Cincinnati or any other club that could
establish claim to Tinker with a view
of securing the services of the short
stop.
The correspondence also includes let
ter from John A. Heydler, secretary OF
the National League, acknowledging the
receipt of the formal notification of the
agreement between Brooklyn and Cincin-
natl clubs.
