(By Associated Press.)

CHIOS, Aegean Sea, Nov. 1S.-The
United States armored cruiser Tennes-
see arrived here early today and drop
ped anchor in the outer harbor, where
she is now engaged in taking on sup
ply of provisions. The arrival of the
Tennessee at Chios was totally unex-
pected by local officials, and an appar-
emily authentic rumor current here

American refugee were given protec-
ton during recent rioting there.

today, Captain Decker, who is in COM
mand of the Tennessee, was in the Ten
nessee's steam launch yesterday with

CARRANZA DENIES
TELEGRAM WILL
NOT RETIRE
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON D. c., Nov. 18.-ln
an official communication to the state
department today, United States Con-
sui Silliman, now at Mexico City noti-
fed the American government that
Gen. Victoriana Carranza, now nomi-
nally controlling the federal govern
ment in Mexico, has repudIated the
elegram sent in his name by General
Gonzales to General Gutierrez, saying
the first chief would retire and permit
Gutierrez to assume the provisional
presidency, as decreed by the Aguas
Calientes peace conference.
Carranza said today there had been
misunderstanding as to his position
and that while he is yet willing to re-
tire when Villa agrees to withdraw
from public life, that he is not willing
to abdicate in favor of Gutierrez. The
telegram sent by Gen. Gonzales was
not worded fully in accord with Car
ranza's instructions to that official
hence a misunderstanding of his po-
sition.
Efforts are still being made to patch
up the differences between opposing
factions, according to Consul Silliman
and substantial element among the
inuential citizens of Mexico are be-
lieved to favor peace at any price
policy, but factional leaders are in
terfering greatly with the conclusion
Of any permanent agreement that Will
provide such lasting condition.

Americus epicures will soon be en-

has wrought fearful mortality among
the piglets of Sumter. Many farmers
killed yesterday few of their hogs for

for the farmers, their meat supply this

TAMPA, Fla, Nov. 1S.-Ten young
boys, inmates of the Florida state re-
form school, were burned to death this
morning when fire destroyed one OF
the two dormitories at the school in
the morning and the boys who did
make their escape were forced to
leave the building in their nightshirts.
The report from Mariana is meagre
and it was not possible to learn
whether the dormitory burned was the
one used by the white boys or the
negro boys of the institution.

must be fought before the warning fac

place not a great distance north of tn

believed. remain in power in Mexico

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 1S.-The
countrywide effort to furnish aid to
cotton producers and find a bottom
for the cotton market came to sue
cessful conclusion Tuesday night,
when Secretary of the Treasury Nc
Adoo announced the completion of the
$135,0OO,OOO cotton loan fund. In MAX
ing his announcement, Mr.. McAdoo de-
clareC the success of the plan was as
sured.
The secretary's statement came at
the end of a day devoted to efforts to
obtain subscriptions necessary to
complete the $10O,OOO,O0O portion of the
fund assigned to banks in non-cotton
producing states. Mr. McAdoo, Paul
M. Warburg and w. P. G. Harding,
members of the federal reserve board
in active charge of the pool plan, took
active steps to gather in the remaining
millions.
Kuhn, Loeb & Co., of New York,
agreed to subscribe 100000. At a
luncheon given by John Shelton Will
liams Bernard NJ. Baruch, of New
York, said that he might invest in
the fund up to $1,500000. His offer
was taken to the extent of $1,000,O00
and the fund completed. A few hours
after Mr. Baruch's offer word was re-
ceived from several banks that they
would subscribe to an amount of about
$2,500,0O0, but their assistance was not
needed. AS it stands the fund is over
subscribed about 100000.
Statement by McAdOO
In announcing the completion of the
plan, Mr.. McAdoo said:
81 am gratified to be able to an
nounce the success of the cotton loan
fund. Subscriptions for the entire
s1OOOOO,OOO of Glass A certificates
were completed this afternoon. This
assures the success Of the plan. To
such extent as banks in the southern
states subscribe to class certifi-
Gates, the $1OO,OOO,OOO realized from
the class A certificates will be avail
able for loans on cotton at 6 cents a
pound. Full details of the plan have
been published and it is not necessary
to repeat them here.
