by Bert Underwood, constable. Swim
nerton's accomplices. Alfred and Dan
iels, were given their freedom, as Il
was found that there was insufficient
evidence in the hands of the prosecu-
ton. Also it was necessary for Dan
iels, alias Turner, to testify in con-
nection with the prosecution OF Swim
merton, and he thus became immune
in the capacity of state witness.
Fine Musical Program-An un-
usual program of sacred music at the
Methodist church last night brought
out a record crowd. By actual count
252 people occupied seats and many
were turned away unable TO get in
the building. A male quartette from
Imperial, composed of Messrs. Lar
son, fitton, Paulson and Thomas, very
ably assisted the choir under the di-
rection Of Mrs. c. II. Merrill. The
program, as printed in the Press, was
carried out, and every number was
highly pleasing. A monthly sacred
concert is to be one of the features of
this church. Eighteen persons were
received by certificate into church
membership and ten were received by
probation.
Not Guilty-One of the most inter
esting and amusing cases in the his
tory of the city was heard this morn
ing before City Recorder Michael So
rensen when the case of the People
VS.. B. f. Colvin came up, the defend
ant having demanded a jury trial.
Miller Hodges and B. f. Colvin had a
little mixup recently. at which time
both managed to deal several blows.
Hodges was arrested and fined $40,
while Colvin believed that he was not
the aggressor and should not be fined
and asked a jury of his peers to de-
eide his fate. Thirty-five real estate
men were summoned and within ten
minutes after the evidence was sub
mitted the twelve good men and true
filed back in the court room and said
"Not guilty" Joseph F. Seymour, Jr.,
appeared for the defendant, while the
complaining witness, Miller Hodges,
did. not put in his appearance, City
Marshal Delaney acting as the prose-
cutor.

G0Yd0u Russell Wins Derby With
 Baxsuc Second

Gordon Russell, carrying five pounds less than the program Weight-122 pounds-won the Arizona derby and precipitated jockeys row at yester days closing session of the state fair. It was not until it was repeated that Mister Russells weight was not correct on the score cards that a lot of folks could he reconciled to his victory.
 Barsac, the only real runner on the track was second, because, as they say, he is a bleeder, and the altitude gave him a hemorrhage the night before.
 Russell was not as well liked as Re gards, so considerable money went the rounds Most of the wise coin was good on Russell, however, as Barsac's ailmeat was well known outside the paddock.
 The only objection to the derby was the time. which was 1;46&, or some what slower than that of the Arizona horses for the mile-which is one sixteenth shorter than the big derby.
 Blue Jay was a sensational winner in the half miller for Arizona horses, Nliti lie NDlt hoh dlitN T dll oll the back stretch and finished by q three quarter length best out of a field Of half dozen of the better runners. His time was 5012.
 Cal Curn, the littlest thoroughbred in the world sneaked out in front after Badly Beers had made pace to the last flag, and won the consolation half mile in 51
 For horses not having won race since June First there was a six and d half furlong event that went to Beau mont over Oswald, who carried some cash among the wise ones along the rail. Beaumont ripped out petty lead and Passey fairly lifted him over the line at the finish.
 Not so good a field started in the five and half fulong consolation for horses not having won first, second or third here this week. Eek Davis cap tured the lead after a drafting fight with Amusement who went back to third, Lulu G. displacing him. Time 1:13k.

Wilson FailS M Effort To Keep
 Identity Secre1
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH1

NEW YORK, Nov. 14.-President Wilson found tonight he could not hope to escape recognition in New York even when he appeared upon the streets as an unootrusive private citizen. He tried it and failed.
 After spending the day in playing golf at Long Island the president re- turned to this city and announced that he intended spending the even Colonel House. He changed his mind and he and House started to stroll along Broadway. He was rec ognized and such a crowd gathered that the police and secret service men had to force a way for the president.
 The president and his friend first halted for a few moments to listen to the music of the Salvation Army at an open air meeting, and right there his incognito came to an end.
 Its Wilson, it's President Wilson, 7 shouted a discoverer. Instantly the salvationists were deserted and the listeners began to follow the presi : dent and his host. Secret service men, who had been following some distance behind, closed in quickly Two blocks further on, volunteer street orator discussing the Mexican situation gained the nations chiet executive as an auditor. The presi- cent smiled and started on as the speaker eulogized Villa and excoriat- ed Carranza. The orator was soon deserted, the throng trailing the president
 The next stop on the Wilson itin- erary was a suffragists' meeting The feminine speaker was interrupt ed in her address as the hundreds who followed the president came up The crowd shouted for the president and the police joined the secret ser vice men.
 The president took refuge at the Waldorf-Astoria hotel, where Dr Grayson, his physician. was a guest As he entered, the president turned and waved his hand. crying, Good bye; I'm going to get away from you now"

Aguas Calientes Convention Fears Coast City May Fall Into the Hands of Forces of the Carranzt Faction if Americans Leave.
MILLION MAY BE
 HELD IN TRUST
Despite Apparent Unsettled State of Affairs Order for General Funston to Move on November 23 Allowed to Stand.
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPArcH1

FL PASO, Nov. 14.-Enrique c. Llorente, envoy to Washington from .hc Asuas Calientes convention, pre- dicted that the convention, repre- senting the Villa faction. would pro test against the evacuation of Vera Cruz by the United States forces snce it would permit the Carranza tl oops to occupy the city.
 It's accomplishment, Llorente point ed out, probably would deliver the important east coast to the CarranZa government. He expressed the be lief, however that General Candldo Aguilar, whose forces dominate the district surrounding the city, would recognize the convention.
 Regarding the disposition of the s1 ,000 900 which has been collected as customs dues by American off . cials. the impression is gained that this would be agreeable if it would be held in trust by the United States until a permanent government has been established in Mexico City. Yet the convention might claim the mon ey by virtue of the supreme power which Villa officials assert that body holds. The Carranza faction, on the other hand, maintains it alone rep resents the constitutional govern nlent of the republic.
 "The convention may not formally ask that Vera Cruz be not evacu- ated." said Llorente. Tt will. how ever, request or make known n some manner that it does not desire that the port be delivered to the forces of Carranza, who have been branded as rebels. As yet no eX- pression to the Washington govern ment has passed through by hands, but I am sure we would not be agreeable to the evacuation of Vefa Cruz if it would give over the port to the troops of Carranza.'
 Some weeks ago Villa in a state ment to the Associated Press de- clared he desired the evacuation of Vera Cruz by the alien troops even if by so doing it would become q benefit to the Carranza faction which at that time opposed him. The po- sition of the convention and the Villa faction. however, as viewed from Llorente's expression will be that evacuation be delayed until Aguilar should recognize the sov- ereignty of the convention, or until the Villa troops should move south from san Luis Potosi and drive the Carranza forces from the vicinity of Vera cruz.
 Messages from Carranza and Villa officials tell of another attempt to adjust factional differences of the constitutionalist's army before re- sorting to arms. General Gutierrez and Gonzalez are holding a confer ence

Evacuation Order Stands

WASHINGTON, Nov 14.-While awaiting official confirmation of the report from Mexico that truce bad heen arranged by the leaders of Car ranza and the Aguas Calientes claim ; ants to the control of the central government, the Washington govern ment allowed the order to Funston to stand tonight, and Vera Cruz will be evacuated on November 23 unless scme radical change in the situation there prevents. The American expe- dItionary force will embark on that date for Galveston and the Mexican factions will be left to work out their own destiny the policy of watchful waiting having been altered in no respect.
 State department officials looked upon the reported truce, however, as a hopeful sign They believed if the leaders have been able to bring it aboW, there is good reason to be- lieve it could be extended for long enough period to permit the Aguas Calientes convention to carry out it's avowed purpose and arrange for an election of provisional president to succeed Gutierrez. ..
 Although Secretary Bryan declined to say to whom Funston would sur render the custody of Vera Cruz, t IS believed his instructions are to turn the city over to whatever de facto authorities appear to receive it. It is not the intention of Wash ington to recognize any faction in Mexico through this transfer. With assurances from both factions con corning guarantees. Washington of ficials feel their responsibility ends there.
 General Candido Aguilar, a Car . ranza supporter, has been encamped with his troops just outside of Vera Cruz for many weeks, having been sent by Carranza to receive the city
