A parrot, name and species undetermin-
ed, has started miniature war in Ken
sington and is driving trade away from
its owner. Joseph Barlow, a produce
dealer, Kensington avenue and Front
street. Barlow trained the bird carefully,
in the belief that he had a scheme TO
corral many dollar, but like most rules,
II worked both ways.
According to Barlow, the parrot either
got mixed in the signals or decided 10
discard them and do it's own talking.
The result is that when a German Is
passing the stand the bird squawks, viva
La Joffre." Naturally the German buys
nothing at the produce stand.
When an Englishman or Frenchman
passes the bird mutters. "Hoch der
Kaiser" with devastating effect on sales.
For a time, Barlow says, while the sig
nails were working properly, his trade
increased by leaps and bounds Germans
were willing to stand around for hours
listening TO "Hoch der Kaiser" and try
ing TO teach the bird TO sing Die Wacht
Am Rhine" Barlow is seriously con-
sidering the imprisonment OF the bird.

CARBAJAL WILL
SUCCEED HUERTA
SOON, IS REPORT
Washington Hears Dictator
Will Resign in Two or
Three Days.

WASHINGTON, July n.-Informa-
ton was received from Mexico City
by diplomats here today saying Cen
eral Huerta would resign within two
or three days in favor of Francisco
Carbajal, newly appointed minister
of foreign affairs.
1t was learned that the appointment
of Carbajal, who took Office yesterday,
is part of general program by which
it is hoped to make peace with the
Constitutionalists The Huerta dele
gates on the Niagara conference are
understood to have been awaiting this
move for several days. Carbajal has
long been a member of the Supreme
Court of Mexico and on May 81 last
was elected chief justice.
Realizing that the Constitutionalist
generals would disapprove the plan
for the peace conferences with repre-
sentatives of General Huerta as pro-
posed by the mediators, because they
do not wish to have dealings in any
form with Huerta. the suggestion was
made to the Huerta group that an
other man be placed in power with
whom the Constitutionalists might
feel disposed to treat.
Carbajal is member of the class
which supported Huerta, but is re-
garded as having liberal sympathies.
He was the peace envoy whom Gem
eral Porfirio Diaz sent to Juarez in
1911 and arranged with Madero for
the transfer of power to the success
full revolutionists.
1t is believed here that Carbajal
will endeavor to arrange terms of
peace which would be virtually terms
of surrender

BELT DECIDES DISPUTE BY LABOR MEN
OVER UNION-MADE APPAREL THEY WORE

In the course Of the meeting of the
Essex Trades Council, held last night
debate arose over the loyalty to the
union label ON the part of members.
This caused ain intimate inspection of
the clothing of two of the delegates.
OF course, the inspection was con-
Quoted in the privacy of an ante-room.
but a third delegate looked on and re-
ported the result afterward to the
council.
The trouble arose when Abraham
Stiglitz, delegate of the Garment
Workers Union, arose to ehide the
members Cor ignoring the union label
in their clothing. T sometimes think
that you don't care what in hell be-
comes of us tailors. he said. Presi-
dent Hebeler banged the desk with
his gavel and Mr.. Stiglitz apologized
for his hasty expression.
Miss Malinda Scott, the representa-
tive of the Hat Trimmers' Union, then
called Mr.. Stiglitz to account, saying
that it i'll became tim to criticise
others. and reminded him that the had
been found wearing non-union hat
a month or so ago.

POLICE OF ENTIRE
CITY HELD READY
FOR ANARCHISTS
Expect Outbreaks at Union
Square Services for Bomb
Explosion Victims.

NEW YORK, July 11.-Patrolmen
in every police station in Manhattan
were held in readiness today for duty
in Union Square, where the Anti
Militarist League. the Mother Earth
Association and anarchists planned
to hold a memorial service for the
three men killed in bomb explosion
week ago.
The proposed funeral procession to-
day in honor of Arthur Caron, Carl
Hansen and Charles Berg, the vic
Tins of the bomb explosion, was def
nitely abandoned last night after
Mayor Mitchell announced that no
public parade would be tolerated.
The mayor explained that his in
tention was simply to prevent the
proposed parade and the public dis
play of urns containing the ashes of
the three men. He said that no in
reference would be offered if the
friends of the dead men assembled
in orderly fashion to eulogize their
dead comrades or criticise the gov
ernment. so long as no violence vas
preached.
The decision calling off the parade
was displeasing to the members Of
the organizations. 1T had been ar
ranged to have the urns containing
the ashes CT the three victims borne
in a hearse at the head of the pro-
cession.

Then Bernhard. Hollander. Of the
Hatters' Union, entered the lists. He
announced that he was a good union
man and lived up to all of the union
precepts. And | challenge Brother
stiglitz,w he said "I challenge him
TO show that he has as many union
labels on his clothing as | have.
Mr.. Stiglitz said that the fact that
the hat referred to by Miss Scott was
in his possession was due to mistake
and that he had remedied II as soon
as he had a chance. He took up Mr..
Hollander's challenge.
President Hebeler appointed A. j.
Cozzolino a committee of one to ac-
company the two men to private
room and act as referee. The three
men were gone for some time, but fin
ally returned, and Mr.. Cozzolino
made this report:
Il find that Brother Hollander wins
by narrow margin. All the cloth
ing worn by both men bears the
union label, but Brother Hollander
has a union belt and Brother Stiglitz
has no belt at ALL
The report was accepted amid gen.
eral laughter.

ISLAND CONV|CTS
EXPLAIN MUTINY
Woman Commissioner Moves
Office to BIackwelI's Island
to QueII Outbreaks.

NEW YORK, July 11.-Commission-
er of Corrections Katherine B. Davis
today decided that she would live
among the prisoners on Blackwells
Island until order was restored. She
accordingly moved her office tenn
porarily to the island, where she said
she would remain while there was
any possibility of repetition of the
recent outbreaks.
After a conference with Warden
Hayes the commissioner made a tour
around the prison and arranged TO
send 700 of the prisoners back TO
work. The commissioners plan is to
weed out the riotous prisoners and
the ringleaders from the rest and re-
turn as many as possible to their po-
sition of prison duty
Miss Davis's unusual conference
yesterday with delegates from the
prisoners, in which they were asked
to state their grievances, had not
been without effect, and the warden
expressed the hope that today's quiet
would be permanent
Miss Davis Stands by Warden
Commissioner Davis, il can be said
on her own authority, has no inten-
ton of discharging Warden Hayes.
She thinks the warden, as a strict
disciplinarian. is just the man she
wants for the place, and she an
nounced that she would stand by him
through the present difficulties She
praised him for the admira BILE way
he has handled the situation so far.
Il don't care if all of the 1.400 men
In the penitentiary want him TO go.
said the commissioner last night.
THAT doesn't make any difference.
Such complaints don't constitute
grounds for discharge The grand
Jury investigated Mr.. Hayes for a
year and found nothing against him.
and l am not going to grant the re-
quests of a lot of prisoners who feel
that they cant get along with him.
And we win have order"
Warden Hayes, moreover, has no
desire to leave He is a civil war
veteran and likes the fight. He was
on bread and water diet himself at
times when he was fighting for Lin-
coin. he said. and he thinks he is
good for some years more. He has
been more than twenty-five years in
the prison service and has been at
Blackwell,s Island nearly six years.
Under these conditions. therefore.
prophecies of more trouble seemed
well founded. It will now be a fight
for the supremacy of the desires of
Commissioner Davis against the de-
maDds Of a bad-looking lot OF men
in stripes.
Hayes Urges Hunger Punishment.
II Warden Hayes had his way he
would administer the most rigid
hunger and thirst punishment In
the PRONUNCIATION of this policy be
clashed little with Commissioner
Davis yesterday, and last night il
was decided that Tannenbaum and
the other seventeen ringleadcrE
should hereafter have three slices OF
bread q day Instead of one, and all
the water they want.

FOR MAyORALTY
In Letter to Evening Star He
Says He Will Not

WAS NOT APPROACHED
BY COUNTY COMMITTEE
That Body, He Declares, Does
Not Interfere in Ante
Primary Matters.

John l.. Reid. in statement issued
over his own signature today ef-
fectually puts to sleep the efforts of
his friends to have him enter the race
for the mayoralty nominatio this
fall. Mr.. Reid is not a candidate for
the nomination for mayor or any
other office. nor will he be. he de-
clares
I'm view of the publicity which has
been given to the possibility of my
being candidate for the Republi-
can nomination for the office of mayor
of the city of Newark, ] wish to say
most emphatically that | am not now,
have not been and will not be a cam
didate for this nomination this year,
says Mr.. Reid in letter to the Eve
ming Star. II would consider it the
highest honor of my life to be mayor
of the great city of Newark, and |
will always remember the loyalty
and devotion which / received at the
hands of my friends when | was a
candidate two years ago, and | want
to take this opportunity of saying
that anyone who insinuates that my
friends did not loyalty support me in
that campaign is deliberately mis-
representing the facts.
II believe that the Republican can
didates in the city and county will
win this fall, but / have reasons
which are purely personal, and are
entirely satisfactory to me. for not
desiring to enter this contest this
year, and l know that my friends will
respect my wishes and will take no
further steps toward bringing my
name before the people.
Not offered Nomination.
Il want to say further that there
is no truth in the statements which
have been made to the effect that |
have been offered this nomination by
any man or set of men, either con-
nected with the county committee or
otherwise. The Republican County
Committee has taken a firm stand
against interference with pre-primary
contests, and / know that no member
of the county committee is attempt
ing to disregard this attitude
TT is not necessary for me to say
that I will put forth my very best eff
fort and work for every Republican
candidate who is nominated at the
primaries, and it is also hardly neces-
sary for me to express the deep sense
of gratitude which have for the
many friends who have not only sup
ported me in the previous contest,
but who have expressed their desire
for months that should enter the
race at this time"
