Arms Carried by the Antilla.

Washington, June 9.-"All care to
say is that the situation is most hope
full, " responded Secretary of State
Bryan today to the newspaper CORE
spondents questions concerning Mexl-
can developments.
The announcement followed a con-
ference between President Wilson, Sec
retary Bryan and John Lind. That the
secretary did not think he was exae-
gerating was evident from his ex-
preston and manner. His tone could
not have been more optimistic.

not go beyond the original dozen words
of his reply to his interrogators, he
admitted that he expected General Car
rama to name ENJOYS to the Niagara
Falls conference and was confident TIE
mediators would receive them on Car
rama s terms, which provided for par
ticipaton in the peace negotiations but
not for an armistice while the negOtia'
tions were pending
The secretary stated, too, that no or
ders had been issued relative to the

Cuban flag, is on its way from New
York to Tampico with cargo of arms
May Not Interfere.
From other sources it was Learned
that the Washington administration
does not plan to interfere with the land
ing of the arms, considering that they
are no longer danger, Carranza hav
ing been included practically in thu
mediation negotiations
The matter was discussed by the cab
met this forenoon.
Secretary of War Garrison reported
that sickness was Increasing among tn,
soldiers at Vera Cruz, but other mem
bers of the cabinet expressed the hop,
that the troops would soon be with
drawn.
In official circles ignorance was pro

the American lines, but it was admitte,
that, should he do so, he would be pr

Nine opinions were handed down by
the supreme court this morning none
of especial Importance generally, but
one of which presents some unique
features.
1t is a case appealed from Grant
county and naturally arose over cattle.
There was also a woman in the case, a
picnic and cucumber pickles and cake
as well as search warrants and gossip.
David G. Smith brought suit for
damages against VIM. W. McDuffee,
who was justice of the peace at the
time the foundation of the suit was
laid, Andrew Edling, special con-
stable, or supposedly such, and VIM.
Won Behren a stockman and cattle
owner. The action was brought to re-
cover damages for the alleged illegal
entry upon certain property of plain
tiff's and the unauthorized searching
of plaintiff S dwelling house and other
buildings. 1t seems that on May 10,
1912, a son and a step daughter of
plaintiff attended a picnic, public in
character, to which they took as a
luncheon sandwiches containing, accord
ing to the solemn allegations of the
complaint, bacon and eggs, and they
also had cucumber pickles and frosted
cake. At the picnis these edibles were
placed on the table with dainties pro
vided by others, and woman feasting
on the good things got hold of a piece
of cold beef. This she supposed
wrOungfully it seems, had been fur
nished by the stepdaughter aforesaid
and after the affair she reported tC

Chief Point at Issue in Alleged
Illegal Selling of Liquor.

R. Way was arrested last night by
Officers Fisher and Woolery for the
alleged offense of selling liquor to one
George Sheets, who is said to be a
leading Marion county farmer. Sheets
was found staggering about the streets
last night by j. H. Scott, He told
Scott that he had been drugged and
that he could identify a man in the
Shafer & Keeton pool hall who sold
him some whiskey for a dollar. Scot,
accompanied Sheets to the pool hall,
where the latter pointed out man
whom he said sold the booze to aim.
Scott then called up the Officers and
Way was arrested.
Couldn't Identify Positively.
This morning, Way pleaded not guii-
ty to the charge, which was selling
liquor without a license, and his hear
ing commenced. Sheets, the sole wit
ness to the actual transaction, testi
fled that Way sold him pint of booze
for 81. He went ahead and identified
the pint bottle in watch there was q
half pint of liquor and told the court
under oath, that that was the same
bottle sold to him. But, upon bein,
cross-examined by the defendant, Wa,
acting as his own counsel, Sheets was
not positive that Way was the mar
who sold him the liquor. care yol
positive that | am the man from whom
you bought whiskey?" asked Way
"Well, can't swear tnat you are tn,
man, but l believe you are, respond

whiskey?" demanded Way.

Sheets, but would not say further tina
the defendant was actually the persOl
who sold him the liquor.
Way started to ask Sheets anOthe
question and, instead of the cour

interfered and told Way he had II

HUERTA CABINET TO FLEE
PLANNING TO LEAVE CAPITAL
Rebles Prepared to Wreck Whatever
Railroad Dictator Attempts to Get
Away On-Danger of Treachery.
BY William G. Shepherd.

Vera Cruz, Mex, June 9.-That Pres
ident Huerta, War Minister Banquet
and the other remaining members OF
the badly disorganized Mexico City cab
met were considering coming to Vera
Cruz for the windup of tne American
Mexican negotiations, was learned here
today.
That is to say, business connected
with the mediation negotiations was
given as the ostensble purpose of the
trip. 1t was known that, in point of
actual fact, Huerta has realized for
some time that his family was not safe
in the capital but could devise no
means of getting it out.
So far as the family was concerned,
it was thought here that the mediation
excuse might serve. Whether it would
avail Huerta himself was considered
more doubtful. The dictator was un
derstood to have definite information
that the rebels were prepared to wreck
whatever railroad he undertook tt
leave by.
Attempt Worth Risk.
Nevertheless the general view wa!
that the attempt would be worth th'
risk, since if the dictator should still
be in Mexico City when it falls int,
the rebels hands, it was deemed Ger
tain tnat he would not stand singh
chance for his life, and that the rebel
would take it soon was agreed on al
hands to be foregOne conclusion.
There was, of course, the possibilit.
that Huerta might get out of the cap
ital secretly, but it was felt that ther,
was also great danger of treachery OF
the part of some of his attendants.
Authentic reports were in circulS
ton to the effect that War Ministe
Banquet would come to Vera Cruz frs
accompanied by the Brazilian ministe
in Mexico City, to confer with Gen
eral Funston concerning mis- chief 3 re
ceptiOn.
A rumor was even current that Blan
quet had already reached the America
lines, but it wholly lacked confirms
ton.

0UARRELS WITH DANCE

colt, aged "a, calmly stood before a
mirror in his room here today and sew
cred the arteries of his wrists with a
razor. Leslie Saxton, his room mate,
awoke as Prescott was sinking to the
floor. Prescott died few minutes aft
er his arrival at hospital.
Prescott told friends here that he
formerly lived in Australia, but letters
found in his pocket indicated that he
was q son of the president of the First
National Bank Of Philadelphia. Sex
ton told the police that Prescott quar-
relied yesterday with girl in dance
hall. This was the only motive he
could furnish for the suicide.

VILLA EXPRESSES WRATH
cARRANzA LOSES HIS PRESTIGE
General Calzado Proves Railroad Con-
struction Wizard in Getting Lines Re-
paired-open Break Is Averted.

FL Paso, Texas, June 9-Trouble over
the management of railroads of north
ern Mexico was said here today to be
threatening an early break between
Generals Carranza and Villa.
The two mems differences Of opin-
ion relative to the railroads were nos
the only ones they have had, accord
ing to all accounts, but those in touch
with the situation were authority for
the statement that they were bitterer
than any which preceded them and GER
tainly meant an open quarrel as soon
as Villa thought ne would not be ieop-
ardizing Mexieo's interests by assert
ing himself.
Calzado Wizard.
When the northern Mexican rail-
roads began falling into the rebels
hands, Villa appointed General Cal
zado general manager Of the systems
in the states of Chihuahua, Durango,
Zacateeas and Coahuila. The lines had
all been torn up in places and frightfui
conditions of disorgani2ation prevailed.
Calzado proved a wizard making re-
pairs and getting trains running.
Recently he commandeered several
I hundred tons of coal in Coahuila to fa-
cilitate the movement of troop trains.
General Carranza promptly counter
manded this order on the ground that
Calzado had the seizure in Villa s name
and without asking CarTanza s per-
mission. More than this, the constitu-
tionalist leader demanded Calzado 8
resignation and was obdurate when
Villa tried to intervene.
Calzado accordingly telegraphed his
resignation Sunday night from Chi
huahua City to Saltillo.
Villa Reported Furious.
Villa, it was said, was furious, and
freely expressed his contempt for a
commander who interfered in petty af-
fairs and risked antagonizing his most
capable lieutenants at such a time He
refused, however, to let matters come
to an open break while the constitu-
tionalist cause hung in the balance.
J On this side Of the border his fore
bearance under recent annoyanees has
! gained much approval, while Carranza
has lost prestige corespondingly.
Villa telegraphed from Torreon last
night to Calzado to join him at the
front, and the latter, complying, left
: Chihuahua City for the south.
