Identified Three Men

indianapolis. January 24.-'I identi-
lied positively at least three of the
men who took part in the attack on
M. Tanner and myself and both of us
positively identified two of our as
salants.' said Charles H. Meyer to-
night when told of the finding of the
grand jury at Houghton, Mich. which
today returned mo true bill" after
its investigation of the alleged kid
naping of MI Moyer from the copper
strike district.
IF Mr. Tanners positive Identified
tion of the men and my testimony was
hot sufficient evidence for an indict-
mentI confess I do not know what a
grand jury wants." Mr.. Meyer said
Il am not surprised to hear that
Governor Ferris is wei satisfied with
the finding of the grand jury. | base
this statement on the ground that after
visiting the strike district and seeing
conditions as they really We're the gov
ernor asserted that he believed the
grand jury would do its full duty and
that the strike undoubtedly would be
settled If alleged agitators from out
side would depart from the district
1T seems to me that the result of the
8 and jury's investigation and the
statement of the governor fits in pret-
ty we'll with previous developments at

De La Barra Not Acceptahle

DC Id 4Nut tCStptdDie
Washington, January 24.-"Francisco De
La Barra, as Huerta's successor, would
rot be acceptable to General carranza
or other constitutonanst leaders," said
Roberto V. Pesqueira, confidential agent
in Washington of the constitutionalists,
tonight.
'Madero failed. said Pesqueira, be
cause he generously accepted the pre-
tended support of the reactionaries whose
first manifestation was the unsuccessful
and ruinous government ad interim of
De La Barra, who nessr ceased secretly
to conspire against the Madero govern
ment, and who finally overthrew it
through the blackest treachery known in
modern times. With this element there
can be no compromise; the people will
not have it. Should a compromise be
forced, the struggle nevertheless would
continue because public opinion in Mex
leo, as in the United States, demands
government by the governed. Compro-
mise with Huerta or a successor of his
selection would be repudiated
I'VE have no fear of intervention on
the part of the American government,
because, aside from the faith we have
in the policy of President Wilson, we
know that the thinking men of this coun-
try--the great minds-realize that Mexico
is in the making, and is passing through
period of evolution preliminary to the
establishment of a stable and democratic
form of government"
