Complicated by Refunds-


The lahors have been complicated tyr
quest from depositors for refund Of their
money in instances where they have
learned Of the safety Of those thsy de-
sired to aid. Sometimes these requests
are made in the most urgent form.
There Is q Lot Of form to be gone
through. however. to determine tho status
Of such deposits. The treasurer calls
upon the Secretary Of the Treasury to
ascertain from the Secretary OF State II
the sums in question have been cabled to
Europe. If not, and that information Is
duly returned to the treasurer through
the same channels, he will make out q
Treasury check for the amount and close
the transaction. But where the money
has already been cabled abroad, 1t is
in London to ascertain what has been
done with it, and if still intact in the
hands of the ambassador to require him
to cancel the relief project. This. COM
muncated to Washington, permits refund
to the sender.

NO VOTE ON TOLLS BILL YET
Long Debates Delay Final Action In
the Senate

Washington, June 10.-The SEN
ate marched forward steadily toward
final action on the bill to repeal
the tolls exemption clause OF the
Panama canal act, but leaders were
unwilling to make confident pre-
diction of the day when a vote can
be taken on the bill.
Even with a night session there
was no certainty of a vote on the
first proposition to be disposed or,
the so-called Simmons-Morris amend
ment, qualifying the terms of the
bill. Senator Borah, one OF the
leaders of the anti-repeal forces,
predicted that this amendment alone
would be debated for four or five
hours. Action within the next day
or two, however, hardly can be
avoided unless there is an unlocked

Washington, June 10.-Every In

conference at Niagara Falls.
Agents here for General Carranza

that the definite position Of the con-
stitutionalists would be communi-
Gated to Niagara Falls before many

Some Of those in touch with Car
ranza insisted that the revolution
airy leader would not consent to an
armistice in the campaign against
the Huerta government at Mexico
City, but that he would express
willingness to acquiesce in peace
proposals as they relate to estaD-
llshment OF a provisional govern
ment pending general election, pro-
vided ample representation is given

who represents the state depart
ment in negotiations with Carran-
za's representatives here, were in

WHY U. s. Will
own RAILROADS
Ripley, Santa Fe Head, Says Present
Condition Cannot Last
MIX POLITICS AND BUSINESS
Government Has Done Only One
Thing, Panama Canal Pro-
ject, Well, He Declared
In New York

New York, June 10.-E. p. Rip
ley, president of the Atchlson, To-
peka & Santa Fe railroad, one of
the foremost railroad men in Amer
lea declared that government own
ership OF railroads is inevitable. The
condition under which private in
dividuals furnish all the cash, all
the money, and the government as
sumes the management without the
responsibility cannot last, President
Ripley said. He said further, In
part:
1--WE have never in this country
been able to keep our politics and
business separate.
"The only case where the gov
ernment did anything we'll was the
digging Of the Panama canal. And
the first step was to take the con-
troll Of the whole district and abso-
lutely divorce it from politics. Take
the postoffice system.
"It is run by taxing all the peo-
pie for the benefit of a part Of the
people. No, / do not mean only the
carrying OF certain classes OF mail
matter below cost. The government
makes the same price for carrying
letter or package to a mining
camp in Arizona or Nevada, entail
ing a Journey of for miles by wag-
on, that 1t makes for carrying a let
ter between Washington and Balti-
more, or from one part of New
York city to another. l am not OBJ
jecting to that, only it is not a busi-
ness institution. 1t is run by tax
alton.
therefore I say the first requi-
site for any reasonable measure OF
success in government ownership Is
its enforcement from politics.
But what reason have we to
suppose that we can divorce it from
politics since we have been unable
to divorce our consumer service
from politics, our custom house
from politics and everything we eV'
er attempted except the one piece
of work, digging the Panama can
al?"

Chicago, June 5.--Mme. Ernes-

story Of her domestic woes before q
Jury in her suit for divorce from,
William Rapp Jr. Mr.. Rapp, she
said, had been very friendly to a
blond woman in New York, whom
she subsequently named as Mrs.
Catherine Dean.
Two dispositions we're read, one
from Mrs. Julia Williams, a maid
formerly employed by Mrs. Dean
and one from a New York detective
who told of numerous visits to q
Fifth avenue restaurant by Mrs.
Dean and Rapp. According to his
deposition, the detective followed
Rapp many nights from his office
to various places where he met Mrs.
Dean. 1850
The deposition of Mrs. Williams
was to the effect that Rapp had
lived at the apartment Of Mrs. Dean
for several months in 1918.
In the cross-examination Nine.

tulated with her husbands attorney.
"Let me say what wish, please"
she begged. II do not mean to say
the wrong thing"
Rapp had charged in crossbiIl
that his wife had been too friendly
with other men. She denied all
such accusations.
The singer denied that she had
any love for Edward Mcnamara, q
one-time policeman, who visited her
in New Jersey. She said he came
for music lessons, not for lovemak-
