ARMS TURNED OVER
To REBEL FIGHTERS
War Material Sent Across Mex
lean oorder.

Washington, Feb. 6.-Hundreds of
thousands of rounds of rife and ma
chine gun ammunition under seizure
along the Mexican border are being
turned over to the Constitutionalists
as fast as they prove ownership.
During the two years that the EN-.
barge on arms has been in force
agents of the department of justice
have arrested hundreds of men in the
act of transporting arms across the
border and have seized carloads OF
ammunition.
In many cases the ammunition sc
seized was turned over after it had
been used as evidence.
Such arms as may be needed as evi-
dence against persons still under in
dictment will not be released for the
present. 1t was said, however, that
the department OF justice probably
will not attempt TO prosecute all the
cases against arms smugglers.

Official of New Ycrk Market Place
Opposes Owen Bill.

Washington, Feb. 6.-W. c. Van
Antwerp, governor of the New York
Stock Exchange, told the senate bank
ing committee that the Owen bill for
government regulation of stock ex-
changes would do more harm than
good and that enforced incorporation
would destroy Americas primary
market place.
The disciplinary powers of the New
York exchange over its members,
based upon lust and equitable prin-
ciples of trade" he said, was strong
er restraint than could be provided
by any law He pointed out that to in
corporate the exchange would trans
fer the power of government into the
courts, where judicial reviews would
displace the arbitrary powers of the
governors.

ASSAlLED ON HOUSE FLOOR
Morgan-Guggenheim Syndicate Scored
by Borland.

Washington, Feb. 6.-Nearly every
crime in the calendar was laid at the
doors of the Morgan-Guggenheim in
terests by Representative Borland of
Missouri during house debate on the
Alaskan railroad bill.
THE story running in the sober
records of the court includes every
thing from the corruption and bribery
of judges to the wanton attack by
armed bands of assassins upon work
men engaged in rival enterprises" he
declared.
He declared the situation to offer
the alternative of turning the country
back to the Alaska syndicate or to
give the United States the benefit OF
the great natural resources by means
of the government controlled rail
roads.

Under Agreement With President El-
iiott of the New Haven Road Attor-
ney General Retained Right to o. X.
Selections for Place.
Washington, Feb. 6.-Louis ID. Bran
deis of Boston probably will be chair

Hartford under the plan agreed to by
Attorney General McReynolds and
Chairman Elliott of the New Haven.
Mr.. Brandeis conferred with Attor-
ney General McReynolds and although
no announcement was made at the
department of justice it was under
stood that he was asked to become
chairman of the trustees.
Other trustees have not been Sc
lected and il is possible that two or
four more will be chosen.
Mr.. Brandeis has taken a peculiar
interest in the affairs of the New
Haven for many years and is thor
oughly familiar with the details of its
acquisition of the Boston and Maine,
Although details of the plan for sep,
arating the New Haven from the Bos.

out the trusteeship would last for sew
eral years and the stock of the Bos-
ton and Maine, owned by the New

| of to others.
1t is not the intention of Attorney
General McReynolds to name the
trustees to handle the property, but
he does expect the opportunity to ap'

CHICAGO. Feb. 1o.-The unex-
planned and hurried departure of
the Federal League leaders to New
York. where their opponents organ

force, gave rise to two theories to-
night: One that peace between or
ganized and outlaw ball is to be
made, and the other that the Fed

polls.
President James A. Gilmore of The
league and Charles Weeghman ad
William NJ. Walker OF the Chicago
club made the trip. They left on
an hours notice, and none Of them
would give q reason for their go
ing.
Ian Johnson. president Of the
American League, though aparent-
~ well pcsted on the movements of
the rival league magnates, said he
knew nothing of the purpose Of
their journey. He did say, however,
that he was: opposed to the PROPOSE
