Allen was conscious, but weak. He

FOR SAFETY AT SEA.
Reforms I'm International Law Pre-
dictcd.

Washington, Oct. 19.-RefOrms in
international law. resulting from the
European war, were predicted by
Judge George c. Holt of New York,
in an address here today before the
Maritime Law association of the
United States. Judge Holt is presi-
dent Of the association.
Judge Holt declared a determined
effort should be made after the war
to put stop forever to the capture
and destruction of merchant vessels.
Th entire question of the use OF
mines, the speaker suggested, prob
ably would be considered anew after
the war. Floating mines. he said,
had done much more damage in this
war to merchant vessels than to war
ships and he pointed out that for two
years after the Japanese Russian war
Chinese junks were blown up by con-
tact with mines.
The association today elected Will
:iam MarcOni an honorary member.

WOULD INCREASE BONDS,
SENATE VOTES TO ISSUE S35, ,OOO,-
900 COTTON BONDS.
to Have $4,000, 900
Bonds is DCfcatcd-MIch Discuss
sion Accompanies Passage of Bill.

Columbia, oct. 21.-Aftcr amend
ment to incrt .:c the proposed bond is
sue from $25,OOO.O0O to 35,OOO,-
600 had been rejected last night in
the senate by Il vote of II to 13, sup
pOrters of the enlarged issue corral
ed their forces and doubling back on
a reconsideration of the measure, pro-
cured the amendment by vote OF
is to II. The bill then passed to
third reading, with notice of general
amendments. 1t was stormy path
over which the proposed monetary
measure Travelled during the few
hours Of discussion yesterday after
noon and last night.
The first amendment was that the
amount should be $5O.OOO.OOO. This
was lost, favoring it and 90 oppos-
ing. After prolonged pickering, the
bill was put to a test vote late in the
evening, Senator Mars of Abbevillc
moving to strike out the enacting
words. Though many senators have
not yet decided to support the bill on
the final issue, only favored the
motion, with 27 opposing. Those
voting to strike out the enacting words
were Senators Black, Carlisle, Mars
and Williams.
Some Of those advocating the bill
are dOubiOus as to it's prOpriety. Sena-
tor Sullivan last night recalled the
corruption Of the old dispensary sys-
tenn and warned his colleagues that
the dispensary graft might be "a
mere bagatelle in comparison" with
the grating possibilities of the pro
posed bond issue. He concluded by
reading letter from ]. w. Norwood
Of Greenville in which the Greenville
banker pointed out the defects in the
Bankhead plan to purchase cotton
and suggested that "early adjourn
ment" would be economical. This
together with the news that Texas had
refused to pass the acreage reduction
bill by vote of 81 10 ~, dampened
the ardOr of some whose enthusiasm
was already tagging. If the first
days discussions are Indicative, the
bond issue is still shrouded in an at
mosphcre of doubt. The senate ad-
journed at 1870 o'clock last night t.
meet at 1870 o'clock this morning.

ATTITUDE TIE SAME.
United States Still DisapprOvcs War
Loans.

Washington, Oct. 19.-President
Wilson reiterated today that the
American governments attitude to-
ward loans by Americans to bellig-
erent nations in Europe has not
changed. This attitude, set forth sew
eral weeks ago by Secretary Bryan,
is that the government considers such
loans as not in the spirit Of true
neutrality"
Reports that the administration
had changed its position have bccn
circulated as u result of the publica-
ton of an opinion from a high gov
ernment official that under interna-
tional law the United States had no
right to prohibit loans to belligeren,
nations.
Officials explained That this opinion
and the presidents statement were
consistent. since Secretary Bryan did
not claim the government had legal
right to prevent loans.

Mexico City, Oct. 19.-Gen. Car
rama has received no answer to his
telegram demanding Of the Aguasca-
lientes convention an explanation of
by what authority that body had as
sumed supreme command Of the gov
crnment. The message informed the
delegates to the convention that sole
power of government would rest in
Gen. Carranza's hands until the voice
OF the people decided otherwise.
Gen. Carranza has not resigned as
head of the government. nor will he
do so. according to an official state.
ment issued by his private secretary
tonight.
Regarding the reported intention OF
Gen. Aguillar to attack American
troops in Vera Cruz Gen. Carranza' s
secretary said:
"The report is absurd. Aguillar can
not advance without orders from
President Carranza."

VILLA WILLING FOR PEACE.
WILL ACCEPT CONFERENCES
CHOICE FOR PRESIDENT.
Dars Only Carranza Who Is Not
Likely to BE Candidate for PrOvis-
iOIal llOnOrs, Wanting Permanent
Cy.

Washington, Oct. 19.-Gcn. Villa
has Informed the United States gov
ernment that, unless something un~
forescen occurs, hostilities in Mexico
will come to an end and that he will
support any provisional government
formed by the national convention at
Aguascalicntcs.
Villa said he would not accept Cen.
Carranza as provisional president, but
was satisfied he would not be chosen.
1t is generally understood that Car
rama does not desire to be prOvi-
siOnal president, wishing to be free
to enter the presidential race at the
succeeding election.
Late state department reports de-
scribe in detail the visit last Saturday
of Villa to the convention at Aguasca-
lientes. When he arrived suspicious
were awakened as to his purpose,
but when he addressed the convention
all doubt was removed. He said he
came to pledge by oath his support
to the acts Of the convention SO that
no one could ever say he was unpa-
triotic.
Villa was received with storms Of
applause. Later he embraced Gen.
Obregon over whom Villas break
with Carranza occurred. He then
wrote his name on the Mexican flag
and kissed the banner, pledging again
to abide by the decision of the con-
vention.
American Consular Agent Carothers
reported that Villas visit has made a
profound impression on the delegates.
Villas pledge is taken to mean he
has withdrawn his original demand
that no military man be given the
provisional presidency. The preva-
lent belief here Is that Gen. Antonio
Villareal will be selected.
The convention is awaiting the ar
rival Of delegates from Gen. Zapata,
and it Is reported here that the
southern chief himself may attend
the assembly.
Details Of Carranza's decree va
eating mining concessions granted by
Gen. Huerta reached the state depart
mcnt today. The instrument invali-
dates acts Of the Huerta government
between February 10, 1913, and Au-
gust Is, 1914. AS a matter Of equity to
interested persons are granted 60
days from September 8 to apply for
new titles, in default of which the
land will be considered as free to ap-
preparation by any interested person.
