Carranza Says
Property WillNot
Be COnfisCated

Juareze,, April Seen. Carranza to-
night gave out a statement dealing
with the subject CT the expulsion of
foreigners, justifying Villas action and
stating that Spanish property would
not be confiscated. A similar state
ment on the subject of confiscation
was made by Isadro Fabela, Carran-
zas minister of foreign relations. The
points made by Fabela are included in
the Carranza statement, which is as
follows:
THE Spaniards have been deported
from Mexico on account of their ac-
tive participation in the movement
in favor of Huerta. This eXpatriation
of the Spaniards has been done as Il
favor to them in order TO save them
troubles of a serious nature. Their
presence in Mexico tended to infiame
our soldiers. In the case of Mexicans
who have assisted the Huertistas the
penalty is death.
so far as the Spanish property is
concerned it will not be molested as
to do so would be contrary to the
principles of the revolution. General
Villa is perfectly justified in his action
in driving out these obnoxious per-
sons and his act is in accordance with
our laws, as Article SO of the Consti-
tuition says that all pernicious foreign
ers shall be deported from the eoun-
try because we require an absolute
neutrality of foreigners in the affairs
of the country. Later. after proper in
Vestigation if it is found that any of
these Spaniards have never meddled in
political affairs they will be allowed
to return TO Mexico
1T is known all over the republic
that the Spaniards have taken an ac-
tive part in the politics of Mexico.
They conspired in the overthrow of
Madero and after that held a public
and banquet at Vera
Cruz in celebration of the event. Hun
dreds of them have come out openly
and taken part with Huerta.

Cent Rate Hearing

Washington, April Stalking of tes-
timony by the Interstate Commerce
Commission on the application of
Eastern railroads for a per cent. in
crease in freight rates was concluded
today, so far as the present phase of
the proceedings is concerned. Protest
ants against any increase in the lake
and rail rates, closed their case with
the testimony of julius H. Barnes of
Duluth, who urged that the lake and
rail carriers were not entitled to an
advance in rates, because their SER
vices was antiquated and unnecessa-
rily expensive to shippers.

ESTABLISH "TAP"
LINES TO BAIT
RAILROAD REBATES

Washington, April S-Counsel for the
government told the supreme court to-
day that the big lumber companies of
the southwest organized subsidiary rail-
roads called Tap lines" as device to
get rebates from the trunk lines. The
argument was in support of the Inter
state Commerce Commissions order pro-
hibiting the trunk lines from granting
allowances to the tap lines on lumber of
companies owned by the same interests
as the tap lines.
This order has been set aside by the
commerce court on the theory that the
commission acted arbitrarily in that it
permitted the trunk lines to grant allow
ances to the tap lines on the business
of shippers not connected with the tap
line.

mostly flesh wounds
