FREE PASSES BY THE. RAILWAYS A MENACE.
 SAYS l. |. |. REPORT.
Public and Private Morality Impaired by Practice, Says Report-L. & N. Road
 Liberal With Passes

Washington, July 9.--Liberal distri- button of railroad passes to federal and state officials, judges, newspaper men and others by the Louisville and Nashville, and Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis railroads was reported to the Senate today by the interstate commerce commission.
 More than 34,000 passes val ued at more than sS40.000, were shown to have been issued last year to indi- viduals, ranging from United States senator, whose pass showed no mile age travelled, to county sheriffs and local politicians.
 The commission sharply criticized the Tack of morality revealed by these facts" as a menace to the institutions of free people and announced It's in- tention to issue an order dealing with the situation.
 ''The financial magnitures involved, , said the report, "are as nothing com pared with the impairment of public and private morality shown to have re- suited from thls giving and receiving of passes"
 The commissions report Is a prelim- mary document in response to reso- lution of Inquiry passed by the Sem ate at the instance of Senator Lea of Tennessee. The Senate asked for data as to passes issued in the years 1911 1912 and 1913, but the commission sug- gests that there Is no necessity for compiling statistics other than those for 1913.
 The commission said 1t was not pre- pared to report on financial relations rates and practices of the railroads in question, as requested in the Senate resolution.

 PLANS OF THE REBELS

Saltillo. Mex, July 9.-The resigna- tion of President Huerta would cause no change in the military programme of the constitutionalists, according to a statement issued today by high offi- cials at the headquarters of General Carranza This declaration was brought forth by a dispatch from con stitutionalist agents at Vera Cruz trans- hitting report that General Huerta lad presented his resignation. Such ac- ton. 1t was stated at constitutional- ist headquarters. would be regarded as simply a makeshift with Huerta con- trolling the actions of his successor, previously appointed by him as min ister of foreign relations. The Mex ican constitution provides that the minister of foreign relations succeed to the presidency in event that office becomes vacant.

BEGINS BATTLE ID FREE
 MRS.F.C. CARAVAN
Attorney Levy Tells District Attorney Testimony Partly Repudiated-The Accused
 Woman Breaks Down

Mineola, N. Y.. July 9.-The battle to free Mrs. Florence Conklin Carman, a prisoner in the Nassau county jail here accused of the murder of Mrs Loisa Bailey, was started tod'lv by George Levy, her attorney. Levy began by iH- forming District Attorney Smith that he had an affidavit from George Gold CT. in which he repudiated a part of his testimony at the inquest Then he surance agent, whose story of seeing outside Dr. Carman's office window a tall woman dressed in a dark skirt and a white shirtwaist was directly re- sponsible for Mrs. Carman's arrest.
 Both these efforts were anticipated by the district attorney, who tonight issued the following statement:
 q heard the story of Colder before he appeared on the witness stand He told me the same story he told at the inquest, which was that when he called at the Carman home the night of the murder he saw a woman dressed in white sitting on the porch and that he later saw this same woman in pr. Carman's office. He told me he was sure he knew Mrs. Carman when he saw her.
 'I told Colder he was mistaken. knew he was then and l know he Is now. It was Mrs. Powell, Mrs. Car mans sister. who was on the porch and in the office.
 As for Bardes, his story stands up well. I believe he is telling the truth.
 Mrs. Carman broke down today. The jail physician prescribed a nerve sed ative and by the time her husband arrived to assist the physician she was calm once more.

Administration Meets De- feat in First Stage of Fight on Appointments
 to Reserve Board
PRESIDENT MAKES TT CLEAR THAT HE
 WILL KEEP UP FIGHT
Only Hope for Confirmation of Will son Appointees Is That Senate Will OverruIe Committees Action-May Delay the
 Trust Action

Washington, July 10.--The adminIs- tration met defeat today in the first stage of it's fight to have the Senate confirm the nomination of Thomas ID. Jones of Chicago and Paul NJ. warburg of New York as members of the fed eraI reserve board. The banking and currency committee voted to to re- port unfavorabIy the nomination of Mir. Jones and postponed indefinitely fur ther consideration of the nomination of MT. wnrburg.
 The Jones report will be submitted early next week and debate over his confirmation will be resumed on the floor of the Senate in executive ses- sions. The committee will take no fur ther action on the Warburg appoint ment unless the New York banker de- cides to accept the committees invi- tatfon to submit to questioning The next move. according to committee members. must come from Mr War burg
 Will Keep Up Fight
 The committees action was taken in the face of the Presidents determined effort to have the appointments ap- proved. In his conference with news paper men today the President made 1t clear he would keep up the fight
 senator Lewis of Illinois Is conduct ing the fight for Jones confirmation. It was understood he counts on rna- jority of two to put the nomination through. but a half dozen senators might delay confirmation for many weeks if not defeat it entirely. A real campaign to put the Jones nomination through might cause the Senate to abandon It's worA on antitrust legisla- tion.
 Opposition to Jones was based on the fact that he Is director of the In- teInational Harvester company, now being sued under the sherman anti trust act. Senators Lee of Maryland, Hollis, Pomerene and Shafroth, all democrats, voted for favorable report on this nomination, while Senators Hitchcock and Reed, democrats. and Bristow, Nelson, Crawford, Weeks and Mclean, republicans. voted for an un favorable report, There was little crit icism of MT. Jones other than that he was a director of the harvester com pany.
 Objection to Warburg
 Objection to MT. Warburg so far is based on the fact that he has refused the committees request to appear and submit to questions about his business connections. Committee members hold that unless the Senate has an oppor- tunity to gain necessary information about nominees it hardly can be expect ed to mal>s combinations.
 The first test of strength on the Warburg nomination may come Mon day when a resolution will be report ed from the Senate rules committee in- creasing the membership of the bank ing committee. This resolutions ap- pearance may lead to debate which will disclose some of the feeling in the Sem ate toward the nomination.
