Kramer, for the race today. is not
in the best of shape, but he feels GER
tain of victory. He is sure he can
outjockey Clark. and he is certain
that he can outspeed him. The nasty
fall received by the champion has
put him off edge, but he says he Is
good enough to win. Clark has had
a fine rest after his case of tonsillitis
and he should be fresh and full of
running He is certainly in as good
shape as Kramer, who is showing
evidence of being stale Clark, if he
wins today, will be entitled to all the
honors He will prove that his previ-
Gus victory was not a fluke and that
he is really in Kramer's class as a
match rider

The Kramer Clark match race at
the Velodrome this afternoon should
furnish a few thrills. The interest
will be in how Kramer is going to
race CIark-how he is going to beat
him. That Kramer will win is the
general opinion, and that he lost to
Clark in their last match because of
an unusual display of stubbornness
is also freely admitted. He made a
show of Clark riding from the front
in the first heat and he lost the next
two heats because he deliberately
took a million per cent. the worst of
it and not only rode the race from
the rear, but waited until the race
was nearly over before he made his
bid. Those who saw that race-Kra-
mer fans and Clark fans-will have
to admit that Kramer had the most
speed. In the heats in which he was
beaten, the champion was racing
Clark off his feet in the final strides.
But that race is past and gone, and
this is another day.

STATE AND FEDERAL
OFFICERS CONFER
Result Will Be Better Cooperation in
Regulating Banks Of Country,
Is the Opinion.

Washington, July 9.-For the pur-
pose of establishing closer co-opera-
tion between the office of the comp
troller of the currency and the state
banking departments of the various
states, conference was held today at

journed over to the white house,
where the president received and ad-
dressed the delegates. They then
called at the office of the secretary OF
the treasury, where Secretary McAdoo
also addressed and assured them of
earnest desire of the treasury depart
ment to cooperate to the fullest ex-
tent with the banking departments of
the different states.

ances were given on all sides looking

President By Declaring "If People
Would Attend to Business, Cal.

Washington, JULY 9.-The chal-
lelge of the president to the senate
of the cases of Thomas D. Jones and
Paul NJ. Warburg, nominated to be
members of the federal reserve board
was answered by the decisive action
of the senate banking committee this
afternoon.
by vote of seven to four an ad-
verse report was ordered On the
Jones nomination. Senators Hitch
cock and Reed, Democrats, and Mel
son, Bristow, Crawford, Mclean and
Weeks. Republicans, voted against
confirmation. Senators Pomerene,
Shaffroth, Hollis and Lee, all Demo-
Gratis voted for the presidents choice.
Senator Owen now on vacation IN
Europe, was the only absentee.
BY the unanimous vote of the COM
mittee, it was decided that no further
attention should be given to the nomi-
nation of Mr.. Warburg. Thz papers
were pigeon-holed and the committee
adjourned to meet at the call of the
acting chairman. There was no re-
ference even to resuming considera-
ton of the nomination should Mr.
Warburg agree to come before the
committee as requested. The action
of the committee in the case of Mr..
Warburg is equivalent to indefinite
postpOnement.

Constitutionalist Generals
Refuse to Abandon Plan
of Guadalupe.
u. S. ENCOURAGES
REBELS IN FIGHTING
George CarOthers Is Reported to Have
Informed COnstitmtiOnalists This
Country will Recognize Them
When They Take Mexico City.

WASHINGTON, July 9-Mediation re-
ceived it's death blow today when
the constituencies agency received
wire from General Carranza, in
forming it that his generals had re-
fused to sanction his abandonment OF
the plan of Guadulpe and the ap-
pointment OF representatives to meet
informally with the Huerta ENJOYS
to settle by diplomacy the internal
affairs of Mexico.
The state department received the
same intelligence but did not make
it public.
Carranza has not yet informed the
mediators of his inability to accent
their invitation to treat directly with
the Huerta ENJOYS.
Villas opposition to the mediation
plan is believed to be responsible fol
the attitude q t;:e generals.
On the heels of Carranza's private
message, came information from Tor
reon that the state department
through its agent, George Carothers
had conveyed the wogd to the cor
stitutionalists that when they cap.
tured Mexico City this government
would Immediately recognize what
ever government they set up.
MediatOrs are NOnplussed.
Ambassador Moan of Argentine, ont
of the A. B. C. mediators, who ha:
been in the capital for the past few
days, left today for New York. I'll
was said he had been advised of tho
failure of mediation and had gone TX
confer with his colleagues, Minister
Suarez of Chile and Dagama of Bra
zil. as to what action the medfators
would take in the face of the new
conditions.
1t is thought the mediators will
issue a statement saying their duties
were confined to settling the inter.
national dispute between the United
States and Mexico, and since the
constitutionalists refuse to meet in
formally with the Huerta ENJOYS
they now consider their good of
fees" ended.

Au Armies fo CAPITAL.

Torreon, Mexico. July 9.-The repre-
sentatives of General Carranza, who
attended the Villa Carranza reconcilia-
ton in this city, left for Saltillo at 2
O'Clock this afternoon after q banquet
rendered them by General Villa. All
went away declaring themselves emil
nently satisfied with the treatment
they had been accorded by General
Villa and his staff.
The report of the findings Of the
conference, which was finally correct
ed to the satisfaction Of the delegates
and signed at noon today. was taken
to Saltillo to be submitted to General
Carranza for his approval. It will not
be made public by General Villa until
General Carranza has satisfied hin0s
self with its provisions.
Notwithstanding the secrecy with
which the protocol has been guarded
it was learned from an absolutely re-
liable source t:.at one Of the principal
features Of the document Is the pro-
vision that all divisions, northwest,
north, center and northeast, shall be-
gin immediate preparations for q con-
centrated attack upon Mexico City.
This will mean that within short
time fully 100000 men will begin
their march against the national capi-
tai.

Nassau County Prosecutor
Realizes Present Evi-

DEPEND ON BURNS
TO COMPLETE CHAIN
Noted Detective Begins Work BY Dues.
tiOning NegreSS, Who Is Believed
to Know All Details Of Mrs.
Bailey's Murder.

Freeport l.. L., July 9.-For the first
time since the assassination of Mrs.
Louise Bailey at the home of DR.. Ed
win Carman on the night of June 80
the Carman home faded into signifi-
canoe today.
With Mrs. Florence Conklin-C arman
in the 'Mneola Jail, charged with the
| murder of the woman who District
Attorney Smith wishes established as
Mrs. Carman's rival for the affection
of DR.. CarmaN, the Nassau county Of
ficials set about to fix more definitely
the facts and strengthen the evidence
on which they hope to bring Mrs. Car
man to trial.
With this in mind. and confessing
that they could not hope to convict
Mrs. Carman of murder on the admit
tedly vulnerable evidence now in their
possession, the county officials turn
ed over the main investigation tonight
to William J. Burns.
The first thing Burns did was to
take one of his operatives to Mineola
There the operative-Jack Salone-
was admitted to the cell in which Ed
ward Bardes is confined. Bardes is
held because he could not furnish the
| $4,000 bail demanded by Justice Van
| Sycklen today. He is held as a mate
rial witness.
Burns "Sweats'' Servants.
Salone spent three hours with
Bardes. He left the Jail refusing tC
talk. Burns himself motored to Free
port, where at the Carman house he
began questioning Della Coleman, the
colored servant. District Attorney
Smith declared that the next step
would be to drag from the colored
| woman's reluctant lips every detail
that she knows pertaining to the MUIR
| der of Mrs. Bailey. He declared that
she has revealed but small part OF
her knowledge. Burns is instructed
to use every vile and strategem to
work from her the secrets which she
is thought to be Withholding.
| Della Coleman is to become one of
the central figures in this absorbing
story of romance and crime. The au-
thorities declare that it is no longer a
mystery, but they know that they
must reinforce much of the testimony
produced at the inquest to obtain an
Indictment when the grand jury con-
venes on Tuesday.
1t was decided that Mrs. Carman's
case would be put up to the jury OF
Tuesday after Justice of the Peace
Norton has conducted the examina
ton of Mrs. Carman Monday. George
Levy, Mrs. Carman's lawyer, hopes a
the examination to have much of thu
district attorneys testimony broken
He figures that he can SO weaken tn
case against his client that the gran'
jury will refuse to indict.

WATER WELL ON
TRIMbLE PLACE
PROVES 'GASSER'
Piping Of Well Blown Out by
Pressure of Gas. Which
Burns Nicely.

A stratum or a pocket of gas was
discovered yesterday on the Trimble
place, five miles east of Pine Bluff, and
indications that gas exists there in
great quantity are considered SO good
that experts will be brought to the
place as soon as they can be secured.
The discovery was made by a force
of men, working under Robert Trim
BILE, who were repairing water we'll
about Is feet deep. The men started
to pull up the old pipe, but were saved
the trouble. AS soon as they had
loosened the piping, an unseen power
blew it out of the hole and left the
men gaping and staring. The gas
pressure was so great that new pipe
could not be put down, except by leav-
ing it open to offer less resistance to
the gas.
The stratdm or the pocket appears
to be about ten feet through, and the
gas was forced out at pressure esti-
mated by the men at several pounds.
The gas readily ignited when match

Upper Body Adjourns Until
Monday to Permit Confer
ence of Committees.
REPUBLICANS MAKE
SPORT OF DEMOCRATS
BY Parliamentary Trap, Into Which
Opponents Fall, Republicans Make
1t Appear Democrats Not Anxious
to Consider Trust Bills.

Washington, July 9.--In a desperate
effort to get together on the trust pro-
gram, the Democrats this evening adj
journed the senate until Monday.
Meanwhile, Chairman Newlands of the
interstate commerce committee an
nounced that his committee and the
judiciary committee would hold a con-
ference which he hoped would result
in reporting the full program to the
senate early next week.
All this followed parliamentary
trap laid by Republicans. Senator
Townsend wanted to speak on the
trust bill and the Democrats declined
to lay aside the rivers and harbors
bill. Senator Gallinger moved to take
up the trust bill, and with the Dem
ocrats voting solidly against it, the
motion was defeated, thirty-five to six
teen. After the Republicans had made
political capital out Of the Democrats
preferring a pork barrel" bill to the
trust program of the president, Sen
ator Simmons yielded, the trade COM
mission bill was taken up, an agree
ment for a time for vote refused and
the adjournment to Monday agreed
upon.
Condemns Presidential Policies.
| Such vigorous condemnation of the
economic policies of the president and
OF the pressure intended to be eXerted
from the white house, as expressed by
Senator Townsend of Michigan and
| Clapp Of Minnesota has not been heard
on the floor of the senate for months.
Congress is tied under the strains
which has been put upon it during the
| last two years, and its WEAKNESS is
showed by the country. said Senator
| Townsend. THE people want congress
to adjourn and go home. l think I
shall take a rest and allow RESPONSE
bility to go with power. l will not
| charge the president with being UNI
patriotic or insincere. l do assert
however, that he is theorist who,
without constructive business expert
ence of his own, nevertheless flies in
the face of all experience and insists
in driving his docile congressional ad-
herents on to dangerous and untenable
ground. The present legislative con-
dition of the country is unreal, UNI
stable and unjustifiable.
Business is sick and all the psy-
Geological mental healers cannot cure
it, especially will it not recover so
long as it is made the shuttle-cock of
political weavers,' concluded the
Michigan senator as he took his seat

Obregon's Force Routs Fed
erals With Heavy Loss,
Taking 5000 Prisoners.
FEDERALS ABANDON
WOUNDED AND GUNS
Second City in Mexico, Considered I'm.
pregnable. Taken After Battle
Lasting ~ H0urS-VictOrs Pur-
suing 5000 Fugitiyes.

Guadalajara Jalisco, Mexico, July
s, delayed in transmission)-Gu
dalajara, capital of the state OF
Jalisco and the second largest city
in the republic of Mexico, was occu-
pied shortly after noon today by the
constituencies forces under COM
mand of General Alvaro Obregon,
COMMUNICATIVE of the Depart
ment of the northwest, after ter
rible defeat OF the federal garrison.
Five thousand prisoners were
taken. The number OF dead and
wounded on both sides is great but
cannot be given in detail at this
moment, owing to the fact that the
battle was fought over zone OF
more than 100 kilometers in width.
h From prisoners it is learned that
the garrison numbered 1900 men and
and that not more than 500 succeed
ed in cutting their way out after
abandoning their wounded, all their
artillery and others, including great
quantities of small arms and ammu-
milton.
After the occupation, General
Obrgeon lost nc, time in sending a
heavy column in pursuit of the tugl-
tives, and if they are on foot, ne Pc
.ieves he will have no trouble in pre-
venting their escape to Queretarro
or San Luis Potosi.
The battle for the occupation OF
THE city lasted continuously for 49,
hours, the attack being led by Cen
eral Blance, the hero of Topic. "
No estimate can be made of the
debel loss, but it is said by General
Blance and Obregon to be compare
lively small and will not include
single officer among either killed or
wounded.
Pick off Gunners.
Like Zactecas, Guadalajara was con-
sidered impregnable and that it fell
into his hands so easily surprises
even General Obregon. AS in Zaca-
tecas, the federal artillery was bad
ly placed. the gunners being placed
on the crest of the hills exposed to
the rifle fire of the constitutional
lists, WHO, with great bravery, worked
their way up to within rifle range OF
the batteries and picked off the
gunners seemingly at will. Gun after
gun was abandoned and IN
the panic which resulted. the feder-
ais retreated into the city, closely
pursued by the constitutionalists.
| who moved them down as they
| crowded the narrow streets.
The number of guns captured Is
not yet definitely known, but pris-
oners say there were fully forty
cannon and twice or three times as
many machine guns, all Of which
were taken by the victorious consti-
tutionalists. Thousands of rifles
were also abandoned by the fleeing
federals and these have been added
to Obregon's armament.
