Torreon, Mexico, June 1S.-GeneraI Villa today issued the following state ment regarding his relations with Carranza:
 T have received today many tele, grams from different newspapers of the United States asking what is the matter between general Carranza and myself. l already have said through the Associated Press that there is nothing between General Car ranza and myself which in any way has altered our military policy. l will now go even further and say there never will be any differences between General Carranza and my self that will interfere with the work of the constitutionalists
 Tt would be folly for any of the leaders to impede or Tn any way ham, per the great work now that we are almost within reach of our goal. It simply would be madness to wrangle about individual differences. We will fight the enemy of our people and his millions until we have vanquished them After that has been accom- piished you may rest assured ali Mexican patriots will do their duty and shoulder to shoulder will work for the good of all.
 At the headquarters of the division of the north it was announced today that there was no foundation for rumors that certain civil officers in Juarez placed there by General Car ranza had been made prisoners. It was said that by agreement they had been transferred to Chihuahua City.

ShANGHAIED AND
 SENT TO PRISON
SCANDINAVIAN SAILOR HAS AN EXPERIENCE THAT HE WILL
 LONG REMEMBER.

San Francisco, June 1S.-Shang- haied in Nagazaki, carried in irons across the Pacific on the United States transport Sheridan and thrust into San Quentin penitentiary to serve three years under a name he could not pronounce for a crime he never had heard of. Albert Johansen, Scandinavian sailor, was freed to- day by the United States district court.
 On June 27 he must appear again for the return of a writ of habeas corpus, application for which was filed today in his behalf. but in the meantime he is free without bail, and there is no doubt in the minds of the United States authorities that his i'm prisOnment was the result of a sub sttution.
 The prisoners story was that he was drinking one night last month on water front saloon at Nagazaki. Three strangers offered to stand him 8 treat. He accepted. The next morning he found himself at sea, a prisoner.
 Nobody understood him when he tried to explain who he was and he was delivered at San Quentin as James Rogers, alias Peter Grimes, there to serve three years for a sen tence imposed by treaty court at Shanghai for forgery. His cellmate chanced to be a fellow countryman and through him he got a hearing.
 Today Johansen was given the album of prisoners portraits and asked if he could find anybody in it he remembered. As soon as he came on Rogers portrait he said:
 That's one of the men 1 drank with in Nagazaki"
 The real Rogers served year in San Quentin for forgery. When re- leased he won the interest of Captain Robert Dollar, merchant of San Francisco. who sent him to China as a clerk Soon Rogers was posing as Captain Dollars son. He began to pass bad checks. was caught and con victed and sentenced to three years in San Quentin. An officer of the court was to have taken hile to Nagazaki, where he was to be placed on the Sheridan.
 At that point the facts end and theory begins. The befief of federal officers is that Rogers got his guar dian drunk poured a stupefying drug into Johnsen's drink and personally delivered him late at night on board the Sheridan, turning over to a pretty officer of the ship the pass he had stolen from the drunken deputy and receiving in person the aeknowledg- ment for his own delivery.

EMPRESS 0F IRELAND
 DID NOT STEER WELL
DAMAGING TESTIMONY IS ELiCT ED FROM ONE OF CREW OF ILL
 HATED VESSEL.

Quebec June 1S.--Assertions by James Francis Galway, a quarter master, that the Empress of Ireland did net steer well, that her wheel damned" only a few hours before the collision with the Storstad which renee and denial of these claims by offciers of the lost Canadian Pacific liner were the cardinal points in the mass of testimony heard today by the dominion commission investiga- ting the wreck.
 During the day it was announced that a contract to savage the Elm press had been let to the Canadian Salvage company. It is believed two months vii be required to complete this work. It has not yet been decid- ed whether an attempt will be made to raise the sunken hull after the bod ies and valuable cargo have been reached.
 Galway underwent a severe cross examination at the hands of Lord Merry and Butler Aspinall, represent- ing the owners of the Empress, but he stuck to his story. It was intimat- ed during the proceedings that an attempt had been made to get him out of the country without testifying This was denied by Canadian Pacific officials.
 The suddenness with which Galway was introduced in the proceedings by C. S. Haieht, q New York lawyer representing the owners of the Stor- stad, apparently nettied Lord Merzy,
 He piled Galway with questions as to why he had failed to mention the alleged defect in the steering appar- atus of the Empress when giving his story to Canadian Pacific railway lawyers and to q Montreal news paper.
 After questioning Galway for some time Lord Merzy severely condemned what he had said he thought was an attempt on the part of counsel for the owners of the Storstad to keep back his testimony until the last moment.
 Toward the end of the afternoon session Lord Merry intimated a con ference between attorneys in the case. Fo lowing this it was announced that it had been determined that charges of cowardice made against most of the crews of both ships were unfound- ew.
 Before Galway was placed on the stand Robert H. Brennan and Robert Liddell, of the engineering staff of the Empress, corroborated the testi- mony of Captain Kendall that after leaving Father Point the ship had been ordered 'full speed ahead" stop and full speed asterl" and fin ally "stop."
 While cross examining the two engineers MT. Haight said he was skeptical that the Empress had been put from fuil speed ahead to full speed astern in three minutes. Both engineers stated emphatically, how ever, that such an operation had been carried out many times before

THE only possibility of general

Ulster question. but that having been
turned to the advantage of the govern
men by the cry Army against the peo-

1t was thought, and is still believed
in some quarters, that a way will be
found by the lords refusing to pass
the army annual bill, which would dis
solve the army, but liberals think that
the unionists, after their experience
with the army and Ulster crisis, will
leave the army strictly alone. Liber-

be no election this year but that par
