SEEK TO
RECOVER
MILLIONS
BY United Press.

BY United Press.
San Francisco, July 2l.--The govern
ment will seek to recover 1851, SIG. .95
from the Western Fuel company in a
suit soon to come up in the federal
court here. According to United
States District Attorney Preston, more
suits are to follow to total amount
approximating $2,O00,0OO.
The suit already on file represents
the full value of some forty ship loads
of coal sold by the company to the
government, mainly for the army
transport service. The government as
serts that the coal was underweight.
The law allows it to confiscate such
cargoes and as the coal is no longer
available, Preston asks the money in
stead.
While the government charges that
when the company sold the coal it did
not give as much as the recorded
weights indicated, it charges also that
in importing it, the corporation
brought in more than the weights 1t
gave. thereby defrauding the customs.
These payments, together with heavy
penalties, are what Preston will seek
to recover through later suits AS a
result of criminal trials involving the
same transactions, General Manager
James B. Smith. superintendent Fred
erick C. Mills and Weigher Edward NJ
Mayer of the company were convicted
and their cases are pending on appeal

Washington, July 2.-lf Carranza and
Carbajal reach an agreement accord
Ing to the terms of the Niagara proto-
col, the United States and the three
South American governments that
were parties to mediation will limmedi-
ately recognize the provisional govern
ment
Tnis means that Carranza will have
the assistance OF these four govern
ments against any counter revolution
that may be started, whether it is
started by Villa or others.
Gen. Carranza informed the United
States government he was ready to de-
clare a suspension Of hostilitles against
The government OF Provisional Presi-
dent carbajal, Huerta's successor,
pending negotiations with his repre-
sentatives for the transfer Of authority
at Mexico City to the constitutional
lists.
The constitutionalist chief cordially
expressed his view to John r. Silliman,
personal representative of President
Wilson and Consul General Hanna and
Vice Consul Robertson, who interview
ed him at Monterey He voiced will
ingness to receive the commission Of
three appointed by President Carbajal
TO discuss peace.
Secretary Bryan announced the re-
ceipt OF the message from the Ameri
can representative with the statement
that prospects OF peace between the
two factions now are favorable. Inas-
much as the three men chosen by Mr..
Carbajal are constirutionalists who
have been in hiding in Mexico City and
are thoroughly in accord with Gen.
Carranzas policies as well as personal
friends Of Mr. carbaiaal, the impress
sion now is general that the negotia-
tions for a transfer Of authority OF gov
ernment will be successful.
Gen Cararnza is insistent, however,
that the surrender Of the CarbaJal gov
eminent should be unconditional. He
is willing, It is declared by his repre-
sentatives. to grant limited amnesty
as a voluntary act Of generosity on the
part of the constitutionalists after they
obtain the reins of government. 1t is
the intention of the consttutionalists
TO give guarantees of safety to the
people generally but to prosecute ring
leaders Ia the plot through which Ma
dero was overthrown. Most of the
latter. however, already have left

In order to save the life of a child

his machine, skidded and turned turtle.
near the corner Of Choctaw and Fourth
street, doing considerable damage to
the machine and badly bruising M. B.
Louthan, his passenger.
Mr.. Louthan had taken the taxi al
the Q. c. depot, where he alighted up
on his return from a trip, and had
started home. The machine started
from the depot, corner of Pennsylvania
and Third street, went west on Penn
sylvania to Fourth east on Fourth to
choctaw and was turning west on
Choctaw when the accident occurred.
The driver did not see the child un-
til it dashed into the street, but a short
distance ahead OF the car. To proceed
meant simply that the child would be
run down and it was impossible to stop
the car in the few feet separating it
from the child. The only course left
open was to dodge and dodge he did.
The speed o tn machine and the
sharp angle caused II to skid into
sand pile and turn over on its side.
Mr. Louthan was thrown through the
glass door sustaining a bad cut on his
right wrist. The wound bled profusely
but did not prove as serious as the
shaking up and bruises he received by
the fall. The driver escaped practl-
cally uninjured.

Another accident.

w. A. Hopkins sustained severe
bruises last night about s o'clock on
the Shanoan Springs road when an
automobile crashed into his delivery
wagon, breaking a number of water
bottles with which the wagon was
loaded, damaging the wagon and cav
ing in the lights and one of the fend-
ers of the car.
The car that did the damage is the
property of John C. Lewis. A slight
accident has made 1t necessary to
have the car towed in from several
miles south of the city and the rescue
car was sent out from the Barton
Bros. garage. Mr. Hopkins was driv-
ing south on the road lying west of
the |. o. 0. F. cemetery Just prior
to meeting the rescue car, towing the
cripple back to town, the two cars
turned out to pass another buggy that
was some 25 yards in advance Of the
Hopkins vehicle.
The pilot car passed Mr. Hopkins
safely, but when the man at the wheel
of the cripple attempted to straighten
its course in order to pass the wagon.
he discovered too late that the steer
ing gear had been damaged. To stop
was impossible and to change the
course of the machine was equally i'm
possible, considering the broken
steering gear. The wreck resulted.
The tenders, hood and lights of the
car struck the wagon near the front,

Frederick on last Thursday night, May
I4th, about 10. 80 p. M, when the rear
end of the Oyster milk plant on West All
Saints street, known as the boiler room.
was completely gutted by fire and the
remainder of the plant did not ignite.
The interior of the boiler room was not
fire proof as was the rest of the building.
How the fire started is a mystery.
There are only two places in the entire
room, where the inch boards in the roof
were burned throughout, each being at
the end of the building. This would
give rise TO the theory OF incendiarism.
The remainder of the room on the inter-
ior was completely burned through as in
the places mentioned.
