Cars Spies Dog Pindell.

Accordingly. when Pindell arrived
here week ago to explain the Lewis
letter he was followed from the White
house to the state department by two
men, who are alleged to have been
Russian agents. They observed him
closely. and are said to have reported
that he was of Jewish extraction. 1t
was also remembered that n few weeks
ago Senator Lewis, sponsor for Pindell,
introduced in the senate resolution
protesting against the charge Of
s'rltual murder" on which Mendel
Bciliss was being tried in Russia. This
indication Of sympathy for the condi-
tion Of the Jews in Russia gave the
representatives of that nation ample
food for thought.

Of rebels already is operating. General
Luis Cabalero probably will be named
military governor of Tamaulipas by the
constitutlonalists.
Battle Is Sanguinary.
General Gonzales, who commanded
the besieging constitutionalists, made
his report by courier TO JimineZ and bv
telephone from there to rebel head
quarters at Matamoros. No definite
estimate was given of the loss of life.
but it is said that bodies Of the dead

government palace, where a portion OF
the federal garrison made last stand

of 1000 men, however, evacuated the
city at $50 clock this morning after

They retreated to Tu]a, several miles
away. where they were overtaken by
the constitutionnlists and again de-
cislvely defeated at l o'clock this
afternoon. They fled, demoralized, into

federals.
Rebel Losses Light.
The attacking constitutionalists were

Their loss was four officers and between

in GonZales's report.
Before the federals abandoned the
city hundreds of guns were piled in
front Of the arsenal and fire started
them. The constitutionaist
leader however, reported that many OF
the guns were salvaged. In addition
800 horses. as many saddles, four can

Requests Received.

The University asked for strip of
land 1900 feet in width Immediately
north of the University grounds. This
strip would encroack materially on
the parade and drill grounds of the
regiment. The request was forwarded
to Colonel Irons. While he was CON
sidering the question the city commits

mayor to attempt to secure from the
government seven acres Of land on the
reservation, also, for use IA reser~

In disappearing Of the request of
the University Colonel Irons calls the
attention of the department to the fact
that if the request of the university
were granted the government would not
be justified IN denying the request of
the city, with the result that the ter

it impracticable for military purposes
Calls 1t Ill-advised.
With reference to the requests Of
the university board and the city to

yatioD Colonel Irons said yesterday:

insisting on reducing the size of

the department will grant their re-
quests and abandon the post. When
everyone is doing his best to retain

seem wise to ask us TO give up any

The location Of Fort Douglas is ideal
for military post, and the army or

opposition TO the suggestion that 1T be

the United States army into brigade

urged more strongly than ever. If tins
plan is carried out it will mean the
abandonment of large number oil

WASHINGTON, Nov. ls.-The
United States grand Jury today in
dicted Sidney Moulthrop, discharged
secretary of Senator Lewis of Illinois,
on the charge of forgery of S24O
check and theft of a valuable diamond
ring. Moulthrop, who was arrested in
New York this morning, is the man
whom Senator Lewis charged with hav
ing written the Lewis-Pindel letter
Offering Henry NJ Pindell Of Peoria,
H., the embassadorsbi to Russia for
year.
A the same time three of the reasons
for the hitherto unexplained delay in
the nomination OF Pindell were learned.
As three members OF the foreign re-
lations committee, Senators Hitchcock,
o German and Pomerene, are also mem
bers Of the banking and currency com.
mittee, and tied up on the currency
bill, President Wilson is unwilling to
precipitate the Pindell matter until
they are through with the currency
measure. The Russian embassy has
been Informed that Pindell is Jew,
and nothing further Will he done to.
ward the appointment Of the Peoria
editor until the Russian representatives
are satisfied that such is not the case
Pindell's Chances Hurt.
The threat made by Moulthrop that
he has other correspondence between
Senator Lewis and the president and
members of the cabinet is also in part
responsible for the delay, as the presi-
dent is understood to be inclined to
wait about sending III Pindell name
until he knows whether Moulthrop is
telling the truth and whether the cor
respondence he refers TO has anything
TO do with the Pindell case.
The story going the rounds about
Russia S investigation into Pindell S
nationality throws an interesting SIDE
light on the "inside operations of
diplomatic agents in ascertaiDing

said that q short time ago the Russian
embassy received several clippings from
Peoria newspaper which is a com
petitor Of Pindell s publication. These
clippings contained reference TO Pin
dell as "Pindelski The Russians,
so the story goes, did not under
stand the bumor Of the sufix, and
suspected that perhaps the name Pindell
was in reality contraction Of the
