TERRAZAS RANSOM UNPAID
Carranza Orders Villa Not to
Harm His Prisoner.
rBy Telegraph TO The Tribune.


lei Paso, Tex. March S.-Frends OF
Luis Terrazas, jr.. are waiting with grave
fears tonight to see whether Pancho
Villa will carry out his threat TO force
Terrazas on the firing line at Torreon. a
subterfuge for execution.
Villa received orders tonight from Gen.
eral Carranza 10 withhold action in the
Terrazas case, TO let no harm befall Ter
razas, and to walt before proceeding with
his threat until Carranza could communi-
cate with him further. IL is question
now OF authority between villa and Car
rama, but 1t is believed here that villa
will wait until he hears from Carranza
The ransom OF half a million pesos de-
manded by Villa has not been raised.
Members OF the Terrazas family and their
friends here early to-day abandoned hope
of raising the large sum. They nope
however, that the message Marion Letcn-
or the American Consul. Is reported 10
have carried to Villa from the state De
partment at Washington Will prevent
harm 10 Terrazas They do not think
villa, so soon after the Benton ana
Bauch incidents, will be willing 10 incur
additional American prejudice, and the
Terrazas case is regarded as almost
an American one because OF the WIDE
spread business associations OF the family
on this side and the friendship many
Americans have for General Terrazas ana
his family.

.HUERTA PUZZLES
MEXICAN BANKERS
They Wonder Whether Proposed
Federal Bank of Issue Is
Bluff to Raise Cash.
lBy Gable TO The Tribune. ]

Mexico City, March s.--Finencial circles
are wondering whether the Huerta gov
eminent is in earnest in its talk or estap-
fishing a federal bank Of issue, or whether
II is merely trying TO bluff tho existing
banks into a moro accommodating frame
of mind and get more money from them.
Authorities on Mexico's banking lesis-
lation consider the legal difficulties In the
way Of founding the proposed bank very
great In the first place. the establish
nent Of new bank OF issue I'm the
Federal District woulG probably be re-
garded by the National Bank Of Mexico
and the Bank OF London and Mexico as
infringement OF their charters. To a less
er extent. it would also be violation OF
the charters of ell existing banks Of Is
sue.
According to tho banking law OF 1897,
capital was invited 10 establish banking
institutions In Mexico under the distinct
provision that new banks OF Issue in any
state or territory Of the republic where
such IL bank already existed could only
be founded with the understanding that
the new banks should be subject 70 all
taxes imposed by general laws, as well
as TO a special tax OF per cent per
annum on their paid up capital. These
taxes. from most Of which the banks first
established, according TO law, arc exempt,
arc sufficient in the aggregate TO deter
private capital from entering any territory
already occupied by hank of issue until
expansion Of business creates a legitimate
demand for additional banking facilities.
Tire object of the clause in question
was to prevent the reckless establishment
OF banks of issue and the flooding Of the
country with fiduciary circulation. Bank
e-s here hold that IT would be peculiarly
flagitious on the part Of the government
to establish a bank Of issue, which would
practically unaffected Iy the tax handi-
cap. thus contravening both the letter and
the spirit Of the law under which private
capital WAS invited TO invest I'm banking
enterprises in this republic.
In an inspired interview IL Is said that
the proposed bank. II founded, Will ope--
ate according TO the law OF 1897, and will
hold cash at the legal ratio TO cover it's
note circulation. This statement is hard
ly taken seriously. for It is not thought
the government can get cash, and, despite
| such confident assurances, IT is feared
that the scheme If put in practice will
simply be a vehicle for the issue Of fiat
currency.

RANGERS NOT TOLD
ITO CROSS BORDER"
Governor Colquitt Says His Or.
ders to Captain Sanders Were
Not Specific"

Austin. Tex. March S-Governor Col
quit authorized the statement tonight
that he did not specifically instruct
Ranger Captain J. J. Sanders. who re-
covered Clemente Vergaras body TO cross
the border TO get IT.
The Governor, however, said nc had no
complaint TO make about Sanderss &C
ton Unofhcially ii was said the Gov
ernor presumed Captain Sanders's men
had proceeded TO set the body with the
cooperation OF Mexican authorities.
The choice of an early hour for the ex-
cursion was said TO have been TO avoid
arousing suspicious OF onlookers, and not
TO avoid a clash with Mexican military
authorities.
The last time Texas Rangers crossed
into Mexico in a manner to attract oifl-
cial cognizance by the United States gov
eminent was in 1874. Describing this Incl
dent, Governor Colquitt. in his recent
telegram TO Secretary Bryan asking
whether he might send rangers into Mex
leo. used the following words:
AT periods in the past commanders
Of American troops and of Texas
Rangers have crossed the border in pur-
suit of bandits and marauders and in
flicted chastisement TO them on Mexican
soil This was notably done by the
Texas Rangers in pursuance Of an order
issued by Governor Coke (of Texas i'll
1874, and it is coincidence that the
Rangers in that case were stationed III
Webb County, where the most recent
outrage against American citizenship
was committed.
With a full and fearless presentation
Of the facts and the rights of the State
of Texas by Governor Coke 10 President
Grants Attorney General, the matter
seems to have ended in acquiescence If
not with the approval on the part Of the
federal government in the course Of the
State of Texas"
Governor Coliqutt did not quote any
decision by the Washington authorities in
the Coke case, but said Coke's order was
for Texas Rangers when in close pursuit
Of Indian and Mexican marauders 10
cross the Rio Grande and take them.
Grant, the Governor, said, objected TO
the order OF the Governor of Texas and
referred II TO the Attorney General Of the
United States, with the inquiry as to how
far the then Governor OF Texas had be-
come liable TO prosecution for violating
Section of the act of Congress OF April
%. 1915 The Attorney General assured
the Governor of Texas at that time that
any reply he cared TO make would be duly
considered before he determined what
further action he would take"
Governor Colquitt then quoted Governor
Coke's reply. which urged Texas's right
10 capture such marauders. What reply,
IL any. was made was not given.

MEXICAN POLICY
Opposes Watching and Wait

His Candidacy.

Philadelphia, March S.-United States
Senator Boies Penrose to-day made the
long expected announcement OF his can
didacy for reelection. He coupled with
1t bitter attack on the Mexican policy
Of the Wilson administration and de-
clared that a more determined course
should have been pursued.
II have been strongly opposed to the
so-called policy OF 'watchful waiting on
the part Of the administration, says the
Senators statement 81 cannot detect In
this policy any element but ignorance OF
diplomacy and incompetence in the ad-
ministration of international affairs. In
it's supne course the administration has
been callous 20 the appeals of American
citizens and has exhibited even a lack OF
patriotism, which has brought our di-
plomacy into contempt in the eyes o;
Mexico and Of the world"

New Haven. March S.-Ex-P President
Taft tonight attacked the Industrial
Workers OF the World in his address at
the Religious Education Conference on
the topic 1.-THE New Social Order" which
he discussed with Rabbi Wise. o. New
York. He asserted that the demands OF
the ]. w. W. were lawless and unjust,
but said the SNUG contentment OF self
ish lives furnish the argument for the
Haywoods and Tannenbaums. lie said:
1.-The hysteria and misguided enthusi-
asm aroused by the real wrongs and a
lack of a sense OF proportion In regard
to their possible remedy manifests itself
in hunting q scapegoat for the sinner and
the lazy and the shftless in tho injustice
Of our social system. II results In such
informing and significant exhibitions as
we have had from the I. W. w, with
their motto OF NO God, 10 flag, 10 coun-
try and their impudent, lawless, selfish
and unjust demands that are based on
the proposal that society owes them a
living whether they make effort and labor
or not.
THE ministers OF religion do not help
their auditors who fail TO keep clearly in
mind the necessity that all men have
duties as well as rights, and all men
must exercise self-restraint and self-sac-
rifce and industry and benevolence and
generosity, and they make neither for
social nor religious progress when they
preach doctrines that arouse in those who
have not merely the selfish desire 10 take
from those who have, and who encourage
the resentment and harsh feeling Of class
against class. by failing TO dwell on the
whole picture Of human society rather
than on a single part OF IT.

ZELIE EMERSON
AGAIN ARRESTED
American Militant In London Was
Warned of Possible Expulsion
Sylvia Also Held.

London. March S.-Militant suffra.
gettes had another battle with the po-
lice to-day on their favorite field, Ira
faIgar Square, this time in a pouring
rain. The arrest Of Sylvia Pankhurs'
for the sixth time under the "cat and
mouse" law precipitated the con-
hict. In addition to Miss Pankhurst
three men and seven women were ar
rested. Among the latter was Miss
Zelie Emerson, OF Jackson, Mich.
Miss Emerson has been arrested sew
eral times for her militant activities.
and rumors were rife recently that
steps were being taken to expel her
from the country as an undesirable
alien. Replying in the House OF Com
mons on February 26 as to whether
this report was true. Reginald Nc
Kenna, The Home Secretary, stated
that no such steps were being taken.
He added, however:
IF Miss Emerson again commits an
offence bringing her within the pro-
visions Of the aliens act the question
Of applying to the court for recon-
mendation for her expulsion will be
considered"
This afternoon several hundred
women and men marched in procession
to Trafalgar Square to attend a meet
ing Of the Mems Federation for Woman
Suffrage. Sylvia Pankhur:t, who for
some weeks had been hiding from the
police, arrived in a taxicab, but detec-
tives surrounded the cab and started II
for Holloway Jail before the miltants
realized what was happening.
When it was discovered that Miss
Pankhurst had been borne off the
chairwoman of the meeting, Miss Pat
terson, who later was among those ar
rested, shouted TO her supporters from
the base of the Nelson column, Fol
low the lag and see II we can't find
something TO do"
The militants then surged toward the
government buildings in Whitehall
with the suffrage banner borne aloft,
but a Gordon OF mounted police barred
their way. Some of the women assailed
the police with short sticks, but tho
marchers were soon dispersed.
On being barred at the entrance to
Whitehall the crowd then turned down
Northumberland avenue, attempting 70
get into Whitehall by way Of Scotland
Yard. The women were again pre-
vented, but there was a good deal Of
during the attempt and sew
eral arrests were made. AS we'll as
short sticks, knotted ropes, said TO be
loaded with lead, were used by the
demonstrators.
