SPANISH EMISSARY ARRIVES
ASSOCIATED PRESS D1sPArcHI

FL PASO, July 20.-Manuel Walls Medina. who bears credentials as spe cial emissary from Alfonso, XIII, ar rived here today. He came to look after the interests of Spanish subjects in Mexico. His arrival recalls Car ranZas announcement several months ago that any European government having diplomatic dealings with the constitutionalists should take them up directly, not through the American state department
 Senor Medina, who has been acting as legal advisor to the Spanish embas- sy in Washington, received his com mission at the time Villa expelled the Spanish residents after taking Torreon. Delay in securing his credentials, how ever, caused the emissary's tardy arriv = al in Mexico. He conferred with con- stitutionalist agents here regarding ad- justments of Spanish claims He will proceed 10 Monterey to attach him self to CarranZa's headquarters in a capacity similar to George Carothers, special agent of the state department at Washington. The prediction is made that other European governments will soon follow Spain's action.

ID SEPARATE NEW HAVENFROM
 SUBSIDIARIES
Civil Suit is to Be Brought ill the Next Few Days by Attorney General Me Reynolds ill United States Court
ASSOCIATED PRESS p1spArcHl

w WASHINGTON. July 20.-A civil suit to separate the New Haven rail- road from its subsidiary rail, trolley and steamship lines will be brought by Attorney General McReynolds in the United States district court in New York, within the next few days. A final effort to settle the problem with out litigation ended in failure although McReynolds and T. W. Gregory, special assistant in charge of the case and d committee of New Haven directors were in conference many hours.
 The committee came to discuss the sale of Boston and Maine stock owned by the New Haven. It desired that this sale should be made free under the conditions imposed by the state of Massachusetts and is said to have de- clared that unconditional sale of stock would insure a price ten million above what the New Haven might otherwise hope to get. The New Haven case will be laid before the president and cabinet tomorrow and a detailed explanation of the course pursued by the department in it's long negotiations with the rail- road to untangle it out of court prob ably will follow. It is not doubted that
 the departments course will be ap- proved. There is little doubt here that on the heels of the suit will come an effort to have the federal grand jury Of New York return an indictment against many of the directors of the l New Haven who served in the days when it was building up the system which the attorney general holds is a combination in restraint of trade. Both civil and criminal actions will be taken under the sherman law and the whole case is regarded by the department as the most important undertaken in this administration.

OFFICIAL
 AND PARTY HAVE
 NARROW ESCAPE
Tax Commissioner Miller and Members of Family Hurt When Auto Plunges into Irrigation Ditch on West Adams Street

Two persons were hurt, and three others narrowly escaped serious injury last evening, when an automobile con- taining Hon. and Mrs. P. J. Miller, of the state tax commission, George H. Walby. Mrs. Miller's father and MT. and Mrs. Clarence Standige. of West Washington street plunged head-on into an irrigation ditch containing two feet Of water at Sixteenth avenue and Adams street.
 Mir. Walby was the most seriously injured of the party, sustaining a brok- en nose and severe cuts about the face and head The exact extent of his in iuries could not be learned last even ing. Mir. Miller who is just recovering from nervous break down received bad cut on the arm and a number of bruises. MT. Standage and the ladies of the party escaped with a severe shaking up The injured members of the party were taken to the home of Dr. S. D. Little, a few doors from the scene of the accident, where they were given surgical attention.
 The accident occurred shortly a1teT ten thirty o'clock, as the party, all of whom live west of the capitol, were re- turning home after a ride in the Stan dige car. Just as they approached Sixteenth avenue, the lights went out, and before MT. Standige could stop the car, another machine coming from the west made it necessary to turn out, with the result that the car plunged into the irrigation ditch, which at this point extends well toward the center of the street. MT Walby. who was sitting on the front seat, was thrown headlong into the wind shield, which was demolished as the car struck the ditch. Only the fact that the car was being driven slowly saved the members of the party from far more serious in- jury.
 The ditch at Sixteenth avenue where the accident occurred has for some time been one of the most dangerous places | in the city At this point, Adams ! street is narrowed from a width of 100 1 feet to sixty by an irrigation ditch

Huertas successor, pending negotiations with his representatives for the transfer of authority at Mex ico City to the constitutionalists. Carranza is insistent, however, that the surrender of the Carbajal gov ernment be unconditional.
 He is willing. it is declared by rep resentaives here, to grant d limited amnesty, not as a condition of sut- render, but as a voluntary act of generosity on the part of the con stitutionalists after they obtain the reins of government. It is the in tention of the constitutionalists to give guarantees of safety to the peo- pie generally, but to prosecute the ring leaders in the plot through which the Madero government was overthrown Most of the latter, how ever. already have left Mexico.
 The constitutionalist chief express ed his views of the situation in the most cordial terms to John R.

SAN BERNARDINO, July 20.-That shippers of the western states have scored a knockout blow over the rail- roads under the recent decision of the supreme court sustaining the action of the interstate commerce commission in abolishing railway terminal rates and placing all towns on an equal freight rate basis, was proven at a conference of the Southern California Interior Counties Freight Bureau today.
 A special report of the Southern Pa cific and Santa Fe railway authorized President George NJ. Cooley. of the bu- reau, to make public at the conference the contents of a telegram asking for a personal conference between represen- tatives of the bureau and the head traf- tic officers on the two roads within the next ten days.

TO COME UP
 ON WEDNESDAY
Most Important of Amend ments is That Providing for Court Review of Or ders Issued by the Com mission
TAssocIATRe PRESS DIsPATcH1

WASHINGTON, July 2O-After months of deliberation the senate judiciary committee tonight agreed upon q final revision of the Clayton antitrust bill to supplement the sherman law which passed the house last spring. The committee will re- port the measure to the senate on "Wednesday. Most important of the amendments recommended by the committee is one to provide for court review of orders issued by the Interstate Commerce Commission or the proposed interstate trade com mission against corporations found to have violated the trust statutes.
 The amendment would provide that in case corporations or individuals neglect or fail to obey the orders. either the commission or the com mission through it's attorney or the district attorneys, may apply for an enforcement order to the United States district court and transmit the original record of proceedings, including all testimony taken and the rulings of the commission shall be taken as prima facie evidence.
 Either party however, will be per mitted to adduce additional mater ial evidence. The final order any district court and any amendment it would provide. might be reviewed by the supreme court upon appeal
 The original bill relating to price discrimination is amended so that discriminations in price made in good faith to meet competition and not intended to create monopoly. could not be penaliZed
 The section of the house bill which would make it unlawful to refuse to sell products of mines. oil, gas wells, or hydro electric plants to bona fide applicants is stricken from the bill. The provision making it unlawful to lease or make contracts for the sale of goods on condition that purchasers shall not use or deal in products of a competitor was retained with the amendment providing that the section shall apply to all products whether patented or unpatent."
 The exemption section, which in the house bill included fraternal la bor, consumers, agricultural and hor- ticultural organizations instituted for mutual help, having no capital stock and not conducted for profit, was amended to eliminate fraternal and consumers organizations from the list. The provision for prohibiting the holding of companies was re- tained with a slight amendment in phraseology
 The section of the house bill re- lating to interlocking directorates has been almost entirely rewritten by the committee. It would provide after two years from the approval of the act that no common carrier engaged in interstate commerce hay ing on it's board any officer who is an officer or has any direct interest in another corporation dealing in supplies and securities shall make purchases of supplies or have any dealings. in securities" with such corporation to the amount of more than s50.OOO in any one year, except by competitive bidding under regula-
