Must Protect Foreigners.

The War Department issued to-day
special orders TO Federal commanders
and officers TO take particular care
in case of fighting in the Federal dis
trict that foreigners be subjected to a
minimum of inconvenience and that
both their persons and properties be
respected.
The Zapatistas are reported defeated
in a battle at HuitZilac, and troops
have been sent in pursuit of them from
Cuernavaca. 1t is denied that Cuerna-
vaca was attacked.
The government has disregarded the
warning of the Zapata forces that they
would shoot any railway employees In
case the operation of trains on the
Cuernavaca line was attempted after
December /, and as a result a pitched
battle has taken place between Cuerna-
yaca and Iguala. Luis Valdez, Mex
lean who was naturalized in Texas.
and a member Of the Order of Railway
Conductors, who was in charge OF the
train. was shot and seriously Injured.
while another conductor, Mexican
also was wounded.
The Zapata forces had made arrange
ments to dynamite the train, but
through miscalculation they fired on
the train just before it reached the
mine. The train stopped and a fight
followed. In which several of the es
corting soldiers were killed.
There was a municipal election in the
capital to-day, but the scenes at the
polls failed to indicate that the average
citizen knew anything about the affair.
Although the public took no interest IN
the election. it did manifest very
lively interest in bullfght, the great
attraction being the presence-in the
ring of Belmonte, a NOTED Spanish
matador, and Gaona, the idolized son
of Mexico.

CHIHUAHUA FEELS
PANGS OF HUNGER
Villa Remains Away Until He
Can Get Food Into
the Capital.
IBy Telegraph to The Tribune. ]

FL Paso, Tex, Dec. Thirty thousand
persons in Chihuahua, who were unable
to get out when the federals evacuated.

first problem which General Pancho villa
has to solve is TO get food supplies into
the state capital with the least delay
possible.
Villas delay in entering the capital
after being repeatedly urged by the people
10 come to their relief is chiefly due TO
the food problem, II is announced by
rebel officials in Juarez. Villas army Is
provisioned only sufficiently for its own
needs and could render no real service by
going into Chihuahua. BY holding back
the army and forcing the men TO put the
railroad to Juarez into condition, Villa
feels that he can give the Chihuahua
people relief OF a substantial character,
and this he has been doing.
AS soon as II Is possible for freight
train TO run through from Juarez to Chi
huahua food supplies from the border will
be sent down and already great quaint
ties of provisions are being gathered for
that purpose.
At Sauz this morning General Villa
vas advised by messengers from Chihua-
hua that there was no food in the city
and the people were suffering He was
urged to afford relief as quickly as pos
sible.
At dark tonight the Mexican refugees
from Chihuahua and the federal troops
accompanying them were still several
miles from the border at Ojinaga.
Colonel Juan n. Medina, formerly chief
of stan for General Pancho Villa. has
repudiated the revolution and is again
at liberty, after five days in the FL Paso
Jail. Medina signed a declaration that ne
was no longer connected with either the
Constitutionalist or Federal armies in
Mexico. that he would not violate the
neutrality laws while on the American
side, and that he hereafter would remain
neutral in Mexican affairs.

tempt of oil men to destroy Inc, a
frame-up, despicable in its object and
cruel in its purpose"
He described the affidavit made by
Mr.. Condit as part Of the conspiracy
Of several oil asphalt companies"
Henry \. Rubino, counsel for the
Warner Quinlan Company, both of
whom are mentioned in McGuire's
statement, laughed at McGuire's
charges when they were brought to
his attention last night.
"Of course. that was the only thing
Mcclure could say" said Mr.. Rubino.
He either had to cry frdme-up and
accuse his brother George either OF
lying or being crazy or make clean
confession of the whole business.
THE charges against him,iI feel con-
fdent will be all proved in court. IL
he is honest I'm his statement that the
case is a frame-up against him, let him
submit to an examination and produce
his books"
Coming down TO the charges against
him, Mr.. Mcclure said:
II represented the Barber company
for ten years previous to 1911, but not,
since, except to close up diminished
work. My brother George has never
been employed by the Barber Asphalt
Company. He may have some selling
ARRANGEMENT with selling agents who
buy their material. but he is not an
agent of the Barber company and has
never been authorized to speak for
them.
Brothers Mania Caused Error.
THE mania possessed by my brother.
George II. Mcclure that he represented
many lines of big business has led to
glaring errors in his statement. He
stated that he represented several Ce-
ment companies; he never represented
any cement company and never sold
barrel of cement.
Most Of his statements about con-
tractors are irresponsible and indicate
a weakened mental condition. For In
stance. one day he said Mcclure & CO.
did so per cent of the state contractors
insurance business, and the next day
he cut it down to % per cent, and thus
the inconsistency and errors run
throughout his statements.
How absolutely impossible was his
project of Collecting $1,000 each from
asphalt companies for the Democratic
state committee through a closed
specification, when three of these COM
panies sell the same material as the
STANDARD Oil Company and the Texas
Oil Company, who are the biggest pro-
ducers Of oil asphalt and could under
sell those three companies, will be read

business"

AS was told in The Tribune THIS
morning, the most strenuous efforts are
being made to forestall an investigation
by Congress, although the indications
are that they will prove futile. In evil
dence of this. it is told at the Capitol
that one Senator who had gone so far
as TO draft resolution OF inquiry re-
ceived a partially anonymous COM
munication over the telephone, some
one announcing that this Is the Treas
ury Department" and adding that the
only desire for an investigation "ema-
mates from the Riggs National Bank,

Will Urge investigation.

Another Senator who had the intro
duction of such a resolution under seri-
Gus consideration is known to have
been dissuaded by the urgent represen-
tations Of Charles G. Glover, president
OF the Riggs National Bank, who ex-
pressed the fear that any investigation
might prove perilous to the banking
interests of the community. This oppo-
sition. however appears largely to nave
spent it's force. and prominent Senators
declare that an investigation will be
urged at an early date.
The unprecedented demand for copies

tinues undated and boys who are now
calling "New-York Tribune, the only

small fortunes selling the paper at
varying advances over the regular

The local papers. with some minor
exceptions. do not appear to have heard
OF the biggest piece OF news when mas
stirred the national capital in recent
years. and their readers have received
inklings OF it only from the paid ad-
yertisements OF Mr.. Munsey, which
have merely served 70 arouse curiosity

BELLS CANDIDACY SENDS
DEMOCRACY ON THE ROCKS

convention. Therefore. he took the
position that the Democrats of this
city ought not to nominate him for
mayor.
This statement called forth state
ment from William f. Moore, of this
city. In behalf of Bell. in which Moore
attacked Nicholsons record as a Demo
erat and as supporter of Bryan. He
said that Nicholson opposed the nom
ination of Bryan in 1908 and that he
gave out interviews to that end. Moore
said that Nicholson was not the kind
of Democrat that ought to attack any
one Else for failure to support Bryan.
Moore says that when Nicholson was
candidate for the nomination for rep
resentative from Marion county in 1911
Kern opposed him and helped to de-
feat him, and that Kern did this be-
cause Nicholson had not been loyal to
Bryan.
Nicholson now comes back with an
other letter in which he admits that he
was opposed to the nomination of
Bryan in 1908. and he still says it was
a blunder. But he says. Moore and the
rest of the Bell crowd are not In posi-
ton to criticise him for this. And, he
saws. they are not In position to drag
it was the same crowd that is now try
ing to nominate Bell that defeated
Kern when he was a candidate against
Shively for United States senator in
1903. Nicholson drags the old Kern
Shively skeleton out of the closet and
rattles it's dried bones around in an
alarming fashion. He holds 1t up in
front of the brewery crowd that de-
feated Kern and Saye to them:
Look at it. See what you did. You
are responsible for all OF this"
He says that he knows how Kern
feels about the matter and that he cam
not see how Kern can keep out of this
fight. now that he and his record have
been dragged into it by the heels.
Nicholson recounts the history of the
famous session of 1908, when Kern
charged that he was double crossed by
the brewery crowd after he had the
senatorship sewed up in the legislature
and how the brewery crowd switched
enough votes away from him to elect
Shively. In other words. Nicholson re-
calls the famous old charge of Kern
that eight votes in the legislature were
taken from him by the brewery crowd.
He says that he was a candidate for
the nomination for delegate to the
state convention iii 1910 because he
wished to help Governor Marshall put
across his plan to have the state con-
vention nominate candidate for Unit
ed States senator. He says the machine
worked against him and defeated him
because it wished to have Thomas Tag
CART elected United States senator by
the legislature of 1911. when Kern was

Governor Marshall had failed TO put
that plan through Kern would not now
be senator. TaBgart would have been
elected So, he says the brewery crowd
and the Taggart machine. which is now
trying so hard to nominate Bell Is in
no position to yell about party regu-
Iarity.

AT STATE CAPITAL.


indianapolis. Ind. May s.-The can
cratic nomination for mayor of 1ndi-
which the good old ship of Democracy
is TO break up once more, for 1t has
aroused the old Kern Taggart- Shively-
brewery feud and has stirred several
of the ready letter writers of the Demo-
cratic party into active eruption.
Meredith Nicholson. the famous novel
list. is the latest one to take his pen In
his hand and dash off an article scor-
ling Bell. Taggart and the brewery
crowd for what he terms their betrayal
of Kern when the latter was a eandi-
date for United States senator The
way this muddle is shaping up it looks
like Kern will vet be compelled to take
a hand in 1t as matter purely of self
defense. The anti machine Democrats
have been hoping that he would do
this. because they say he could not do
otherwise under the circumstances than
to come out against Bell.
The fight started few days ago
when Nicholson issued a letter to the
Public in which he declared Bell UNIT
for the nomination for mayor He
charged that Bell, closely associated as
he is with Crawford Fairbanks. the
Tcrre Haute brewer. was n dangerous
element In the party and that his
nomination would mean the defeat of
the Democratic ticket at the election
next fall He said that Bell and Fair
banks opposed Bryan all the way down
the line, and that they opposed the
nomination of Wilson at the Baltimore
