Revelation Was Author
lied by War Department.

San Francisco. July 11.-When Edi-
tor Charles X. Fields of the Sunset
Magazine, Aviator Robert q. Fowler,
Photographer Ray A. Duehm and Riley
A. Scott. aerial bomb expert and au-
thor are placed on trial for revealing
secrets of the United States fortifica-
tions at Panama, their defense will be
that the revelation was authorized by
the war department and that Colonel
Goethals himself sanctioned what they
did.
On their arraignment before United
States Commissioner Krull here today,
District Attorney Preston charged that
Fowler made an aeroplane ascent over
the canal Notifications, that Duehm
took photographs OF them, that Scott
wrote an article concerning them and
that Fields published articles and pic
lures in the April issue of his maga-
zine.
Preston offered no evidence beyond
a copy Of the magazine itself. BY con-
sent the case went over until Aug. 10.
Fields explained that he published the
article because he considered 1t edu-
cational and hoped 1t would lead con-
gress to appropriate more money for
military aeronautios. He declared he
had conclusively shown the canal could
be destroyed from the air unless pre-
cautions were taken against it.
District Attorney Preston intimated
that If the defensce proved its asser-
tions concerning the war department
and Goethals the cases might not be
pressed very far

PROTOCOLS APPROVED
BY MEXICAN SENATE

Mexico City. July 1.-THE Mexican
senate this afternoon approved the
protocols signed by the American and
Mexican delegates to the Niagara med
iation conferences. General Huerta is
now expected to give his formal ap-
proval to the protocals. Many in
Mexico City believe this may be one of
the dictator's last official acts.
General Huerta appeared at his
usual haunts today and gave no indi-
cation Of any intention to retire or leave
the capital. AS the ministry Of foreign
relations has been open, however since
Portillo y Ro1as resigned, 1t has been
generally believed that when an ap-
pointment was made to this post II
would be an indication of the approach
ing abdication of Huerta In case of
Huerta's retirement. Francisco Carba-
jail. now minister Of foreign relations,
would succeed him in accordance with
the constitution.

CARRANzA GAINS
ALL HE DESIRES
AT CONFERENCE
Agreement With Villa Gives
the Chief Almost Supreme
Power Pending End of
the Revolution.

Juarez, Mexico, July 11.-General
Carranza and not General Villa,
achieved victory in the Villa Carranza
mediation conference held at Torreon
last week.
This was clearly shown tonight when
the official report of the mediation pact
was made public by oonstitutionaliBt
officials. The document proves that a
strenuous effort was made by the dele
gates representing General Villa to
amend the plan of Guadalupe. under
which the constitutionalists are oper-
ating in such a way as to prevent Car
rama from being a candidate for the
presidency after the revolution has sue
ceeded. This was voted down. On the
other hand, Carranza forced his own
recognition by all Villa officers as first
chief of the revolution. He was also
given power to call convention at the
end of the revolution to select candi-
dates for the national election. He
was allowed absolute power over fed
eral employees.
To Carry on Operations.
Villas chief accomplishment in the
conference was his putting through a
resolution which made it obligatory on
Carranza's part to furnish fuel, ammu-
milton and other elements for the car
rying on of military operations, but
even in this clause 1t was made oblig-
atory to Villa and the other chiefs to
consult Carranza about all operations,
either military or administrative.
A suggestion was made by the me-
diators to Carranza to select g. pro-
visional cabinet and names of persons
acceptable to the mediators for ap-
pointment to cabinet positions were
presented to him.
The Roman Catholic clergy were de-
nounced by the mediators as having
aided Huerta and a resolution was
adopted which declared that the priests
should be punished.
Announcement was made here today
OF the arrival OF General Francisco
Villa and his staff at Chihuahua and
that he will proceed to Juarez within
a day or two. His entire army of 0,000
men is now in the state. After a short
rest they will be sent into the Mexico
City campaign.
General Alvaro Obregon has reported
from GuadalaJara that he also is CIV
ing the bulk of his troops which cap
tured that important city short rest
before beginning the movement on Mex
leo City.
Negotiations for the transfer Of the
control of the seaport of Guaymas
Sonora, to constitutionalist control are
still going on.

BUTTON PRESSED:
DENVER BURSTS
into DRILLIANCY
Advance Guard of the Elks
Arrive for the Annual Ma
tional Convention This
Week.

Denver Colo, July 11.--When Grand
Exalted Ruler Edward Leach at 8
o'clock tonight pushed an electric but
ton the entire down town section of
Denver burst into brilliant light and
the golden Jubilee reunion of the
Benevolent and Protective Order Of
Elks was officially open.
The advance guard OF the great Elk
herd which will participate in the
festivities next week, numbering more
than 1000. thronged the business sec
tion of the city to witness the cere-
monies. Most OF these were packed
in Champa street from Fourteenth to
Eighteenth streets, the grand court
of honor" OF the jubilee. Festooned
with colored lights and streamers OF
purple and gold and with numerous
electric fountains on every side the
street was a veritable falryland.
All traffic on this street has been
forbidden after nightfall during the
reunion and 1t will be used exclusively
as a promenade for the Elks and their
ladies. At one end is an illuminated
figure of an elk 65 feet high and at
the other a huge welcome arch.
Keys Arc Presented.
AFTER the grand exalted ruler mad
opened the illumination, Mayor Per-
kins and Governor Ammons formally
presented him with the keys of the
city.
Arrangements for the festivities of
next week were completed tonight.
All during Sunday special trains will
be arriving from all sections of the
country bringing Elks and their
families, and 1t is estimated that fully
80, 900 will be here by Monday noon.
Although the grand lodge meeting
does not open until Monday members
are already discussing the 1915 meeting
place. The delegation from Atlanta,
Ga. is making a strong bid for the
honor.
Unusual interest is shown by the
visitors in the expected report Of a
special committee appointed last year
in regard to the Big Brother move
ment The report shows that the Elks
are acting as big brothers to 5000
poor deserving boys who have been
adopted" during the past IL months.
More than 800 lodges have decided to
take boys under their wing and help
them grow to useful manhood.

ANARCHISTS HOLD
PUBLIC SERVICES
FOR Their DEAD
Thousand Police on Hand
but No Disorder Results
From the Meeting in
Union Square.

New York July 11.---Anarchists held
memorial services for their dead In
Union Square this afternoon. Although
thousand police and several ambu-
lances and patrols were on hand, moth
ing extraordinary happened. Two men
who disclaimed being reds" were ar
rested for street brawling. Two an
archist speakers who were particularly
violent in their denunciations Of law
and order may be arrested later, but in
the main the speakers all counselled
peace and order.
Seven hundred stalwart police with
drawn night sticks patrolled the streets
and kept the crowd in narrow block,
outside the square park. Three hun
dred plain clothes men circulated In the
crowd. Two police stenographers took
every word. One thousand picked pa
trolmen were ready for riot duty in
nearby police stations. But police pre-
cautions were unneeded. Perhaps one
thousand members of this crowd, which
martyrized Carr. Hanson and Berg,
tenement house explosion victims, were
themselves anarchists.
Certainly not more than that number
waved their hats when Alexander Berk-
man called for a show of strength or
when the Marseillaise burst forth from
a tiny band.
One Sign Of Trouble.
Only once did it appear as though
trouble might start. That was when
the big police army started to push the
mob out of the square at the close of
the address
TTntop gounra adorned NTH tta rad
banners of anarchy, intermingled with
black and mourning, was packed with
humanity. Search had been made by
police for bombs in nearby structures.
There was none. The only bomblike
thing were the speeches of Horace d.
Plunkett and Becky" Bdelsohn.
Il believe in violence" said PUNK ett.
Dynamite is the only reply to jails
tyranny and oppression"
This was the speech that caused In
spector Schmittberger to believe he
might make an arrest on the charge
Of melting to riot. The other was
Becky Edelsohn's comment:
TT is about time that the working
class came out flatly and said that we
believe in violence and will use vio-
lence If necessary.
"The day will come when workers
will retaliate the Ludlow strike shoot
ings with dynamite. Dynamite is the
great equalizer. All authorities are
powerless before It,"
Alexander Berkman, the anarchist
leader, contented himself with critlciz-
ing the police for preventing a funeral
parade and display of the funeral. The
L w. w. lent its quota of speakers,
but they rallied only under the red ban
ners as fellow workers"
Bombs were in the minds OF every
body and many a nervous policeman
and innocent bystander" jumped per-
ceptibly when blasts of dynamite in
the subway nearby exploded during the
meeting.
Berkman's speech counselled his fol-
lowers to be dignihed and to do moth
ing to cause trouble He placed re-
sponsibility for any possible trouble
squarely to the police.
"Our failure to insist on our rights" "
he said in explaining the back down
from determination to parade, docs
not mean that we do not believe in
them When we do move 1t, those who
perseoute us beware"

claimed tonight to again have infor-
nation that Dictator Huerta is about to

For weeks they have been expecting
