CARRANZA'S MEN
HAVE EVACUATED
MEXICAN CAPITAL
Mexico City in State of Unrest
as Villa Approaches, Con-
sui Report.

WASHINGTON. NOV. 20.-Conful
Silliman in a report to the state de
partment today sa the Carranza
forces had evacuated Mexico City
He did not indicate in which direc-
tion the department troops went, but
said the city was in a state of great
unrest.
Other reports told of the continual
tion of Villas triumphant march.
Queretaro, where a clash had been
forecast. has been abandoned by
the Carranza forces. Where they in
tended to make a stand was not in
dicated.
Queretaro is the only town Of
strategical Importance between Mex
leo City and Aguascalientes, and it
had been declared in reports from
Carranza sources that Villa would
have to battle near there the forces
of Generals Obregon and Gonzales.
The city will be used by Villa, il is
said, as a concentration centre be-
fore the advance on Mexico City.
The situation that might result
from Villas possible investment of
the capital was not overlooked here
today. Many foreigners still remain
in Mexico City who would be en-
dangered If battle were pressed in
the streets.
General Obregon issued a manifesto
to the nation last night calling upo
all citizens to JON the Gauge agains
General Villa. whom he denominated
as "a traitor and criminal, whose
whole purpose is to sacrifice the
country on the altar of personal am
bition."

Senator Lodge Criticises
Wilson'S Attitude on
Turkish Firing Incident

BOSTON, Nov. z0.--Criticism OF the
administrator attitude in connec-
ton with the recent firing upon a
boat from the cruiser Tennessee in
Turkish waters and with the Tampico
incident In the Mexican troubles was
made last night by United States
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge. Speak
ing before the Middlesex Club, Re-

Tampico. Then within three days
American sailors were In Mexican

now-now the incident of the salute

the flag was never saluted.

GOEBEN DISABLED,
LONDON BELIEVES
Report Kaiser's Black Sea Ter
ror Was Seen AbIaze, but
Story Is Contradicted.
BY the United Press.

LONDON, Nov. 20-The German
cruiser Goeben, admittedly the terror
of the allies in the Black sea, is con-
f1dently believed here to be at least
temporarily out of commission.
Although contradictory reports
have been received of the naval en-
gagement of the Russian and Turkish
ships, the statement that the Goeben
was struck amidships by a twelve
inch shell and was seen TO be abiazs
is accepted here as indicating that the
injury to the cruiser may have been
serious. The Russians admit that the
Goeben was able to escape owing to
her great speed. The fire on board
II is felt certain that the Goeben's
wounds will surely keep her out of
action for some time.
Particular sat at'sfaction is felt in
England over the blow dealt the
Goeben. It was on account of her
feat of escaping from under the guns
of the allied ships in the Mediter-
ranean that a British admiral was
tried by court martial. He was ac-
quilted but British naval pride was
pricked by the escape OF the Goeben.
The Preslau. which ais escaped with
the Goeben, is likewise reported by
the Russian TO have been on the
scene of the Black sea fight.
She did net stay to give battle,
however, and escaped. The Russian
report of the battle makes no mem
tion of any serious damage ito either
of her battieships. which with four
cruisers attacked the Greben., A re-
port from Berlin asserts that one was
badly damaged.

FIRE DESTROYS
BUSINESS BLOCK
IN KEANSBURG
Investigation May Follow $780,
900 Blaze in Heart of the
Resort.

6peEiaA 70 thE ASffHhHA Et01a
KEANSBURG, Nov. 20.-FIre early
today destroyed twelve buildings in
the heart of this resort. It wiped
out every structure on the block
bounded by Beach Way. Carr ave-
nue., Highland avenue and Sea Breeze
Way.
Most of the buildings were stores
OF commercial structures and be-
longed to people who live here all
the year round. The fire was kept
from spreading to bungalows and
hotels mainly through the efforts OF
the Navesink and Atlantic High
lands fire companies, which ran in
1000 feet of hose from the long dock.
The damage is estimated at $4,000.
The blaze is believed to have started
in the neighborhood OF the Loegel
building, although Its origin is q
mystery. It Is said that an inyesti-
cation may be made.
DR.. r. II. Downess residence and
drug store, valued at about 10000
was destroyed. The Sugar Bowl con
fectienery, the Detnrno moving pic
ture theatre and q barber shop ane
boarding house owned by james
Marcellaro were also destroyed. The
carousel owned BY Mrs. Jones was
burned on one side.
Keansburg Engine Company No. ]
and the New Point Comfort Chemical
Engine Company were the first TO
arrive. The fire was beyond their
control, however, and they had to
send outside for help. A company
came over from Red Bank, but the
previous arrival OF the Navesink and
Atlantic Highlands companies had
brought the blaze under control.

PATTERN VALUES
HOLD UP TRIAL

An attempt TO determine the value
of patterns destroyed in the fire which
wrecked the SomerVille Iron works,
of Somerville, in July, 1909, proved a
stumbling block in the trial today Of
the suit brought to recover 100000
damages from the Somerville Water
Company. of Somerville. This Is the
fourth day of the trial OF the suit
brought by Benjamin Lissberger, of
New York, owner of the iron works
against the company. The suit is be-
ing tried in the Newark branch of the
United States District Court before
Judge Haight and jury.
The action is based on a contract
between the water company andA the
iron works by which the former
agreed to furnish water for fire pro-
lection. Lissberger paid SIS year
for this water. The complaint states
that when a fire broke out in the rear
of one of the foundry buildings it was
but a small blaze, but sufficient water
could not be obtained to eXtinguish it,
1t is alleged that when the fire
hydrant was turned on no water came
for several minutes, and when the
stream did come it did not have suf-
ficient pressure behind it to reach
twelve feet.
Hartwell Cabell, of counsel for the
SOmerYlIfe Iron WORKS, sought to
prove the loss of patterns by intro
ducing the books of the company. The
bookkeeper was not present, however.
and Robert H McCarter, of counsel
for the water company objected to
anyone but the bookkeeper testifying
as to the values set down in the book.
Counsel for the complainant then
sought to prove the value of the pat
terms by having Charles Grill fore
man at the foundry testify from
memory. There were 1900 patterns In
the foundry when it was burned. he
said.

POLICY HOLDERS
OF "PRU" TOVOTE
ON STOCK PLAN
Final Stage of company's Mu-
tualization Plan to Begin
December 7.

Policyholders In the Prud fntlal In
surance Company on December Z will
vote ON the proposal to accept stock
of the company at the value, fixed
by appraisers appointed by Chancel-
lor Walker. This will mark the be-
ginning of the final stage in the
process of mutua izing the company
under q law passed in 1913.
The plan for the mutualizing of the
company has already been approved
at a meeting attended by the rep
resentatives of holders of seventy per
cent. of the stock. If the policy-hold-
ers approve, as 1t Is expected they
will, the matter will again come be-
fore Chancellor Walker, who will ap-
point trustees who will conclude the
matter.
The trustees, after their appoint
ment, will buy the stock of the COM
pany as fast as it is offered by its
present owners, and will vote on 1t.
When all of the stock has been pur-
chased, the trustees will then turn
the shares into the treasury and the
policy holders will then have COM
plete control of the company.
The number of policy holders who
will vote on the naturalization plan
is not even approximately known yet,
the tabulating clerks not being able
to tell how many policy holders have
given their proxies.
There ai- in the neighborhood of
$4,000, 900 po lcies of the company now
in existence OF these, about 6,000,-
600 are entitled to vote, being more
than twenty-one years old and hold
ing policies that have been in force
more than one year. 1t is said that
the officers of the company do not
anticipate that more than 100000 of
these policies will be represented in
the voting.

TRY TO GET WORD
TO THE TENNESSEE
Washington Government Still
Unable to Get Details of
Smyrna Firing.

WASHINGTON, Nov 2O-Navy de-
partment officials today continued
their desperate efforts to get in touch
with the cruiser Tennessee, to obtain
further facts of the Turkish firing or
that cruisers launch in Smyrna har-
Dor.
While hoping for early communica-
ton, Secretary of the Navy Daniels
remained firm in his insistence that
the shot was undoubtedly friendly
and not meant as hostile act.
President Wilson today had In his
possession all facts concerning the re-
cent movements of the Tennessee and
North Carolina that the navy depart
ment knows. Likewise the state de-
partment had informed him thor
oughly of all the Turkish news and
views In its possession. He was keep
ing the closest watch for develop
ments, but, in common with other
officials maintained that there is thus
far nothing to cause alarm. The at
titude of the administration was to
''sit tight" awaiting further news.

CITY SEES SLIGHT
FURRY OF SNOW
First Fall of Season Lasts But
Short Time-Fails to Wet
Sidewalks.

The first snow OF the season made
it's appearance downtown about
o'clock this morning, but outside Of
a suggestion that winter is nearly
here it served no other purpose, not
even wetting the sidewalks. Up in
the Silver Lake section, however, a
light covering of snow fell last night.
In Caldwell there is an inch of 1t,
and up in Morris county the high
spots are under seven inches of snow.
There was slight furry about 9
o'clock this morning as far down
State as South Orange, but not below
that.
The prospects are for fair weather
tonight and tomorrow, much colder
tonight, with strong northwest winds,
becoming light tomorrow, but with
no rise in temperature.

$6OO,OOO BONDS
S0LDBY THE CITY
Comptroller ParnnIy Disposes of
Temporary Loan Certificates
to New York Banker.

City Comptroller Tyler Parmly to-
day sold 100000 temporary loan bonds
to H. Lee Anstey, a New York bank
er, at 4.50, with a premium of $120.
The bond sale is the second made
by the city since the start of the Eu-
ropean war.

than other cities have been able to
obtain under the present conditions.

ton that the credit of the city Is
rated high.
The money secured from the sale
of the loan bonds will be applied to
street improvements and the con-
struction of a dock on the Passaic,
$500, 900 of it to be used for each pur-
pose.
