SAY BOSTON
FIRM MADE THE
SUGGESTION OF
TIMBER BONUS
Premier of New Bruins
wick Testifies at EX-
tortion Hearing

st. John, N. B.. July III. K Flem-
ming, premier of New Brunswick, was
under cross-examination for many
hours at today's session of the hear
ing before a royal commission on the
timber lands extortion charges. He
testified George Cutler of the Bos-
ton lumber of Stetson, Cutler & Co,
suggested to him that the timber
bonus should not be higher than $50
a mile and intimated that he would be
prepared to contribute to a party
fund. The premier said he gave Cut
Ter no satisfaction in the matter.
F. B. Carvell, chief counsel for l..
A. Dugal, who brings the charges
asked the premier if he would swear
that when he fixed the bonus on tim
Der limits on July 10 of last year, he
did not know that lumbermen's fund
had been raised.
II cannot say" replied Mr.. Elem
ming. II did not think of it in that
connection
Asked if he thought the whole trans
action perfectly honorable, he replied:
IF they were voluntary contributions
I should not think it dishonorable."
Mr.. Flemming said he never knew
the amounts contributed by the va
rious lumbermen until they were men,
toned at the inquiry. He added that
he had not suspended or discharged
w. H. Berry, the chief government
scaler, when he learned that Berry
: was active in the matter of the fund,
although he had ordered Berry to have
nothing to do with the fund as an Of

arrange with Francisco Carbajal for
the peaceful transfer of the govern
ment at Mexico City to the Constitu-
tionalists without further fighting, but,
II became known oday, the admins
tration is indirectly in communication
with Emilio Zapata, leader of the rev.
oluton in Southern Mexico.
These activities on the part of the
American government result from de-
sire that when the Constitutionalists are
installed in Mexico City and comply with
the conditions pre- requisite to formal
recognition, there shall be an end to rev.
olution in Mexico with its ever threat
ening international aspects
Carranza Warmed
Carranza has been informed that he
must conduct his triumph temperately,
that there ought to be no excuses when
the army takes control OF Mexico City,
but that an amnesty for political Offend
ers should be declared and the rights of
the clergy and other foreigners who have
suffered, especially the Spaniards, be
given due respect
Through John r. SULLIVAN. personal
representative of President Wilson with
Gen. Carranza, the government is render
ing its advice. Already the fruits of the
American efforts to bring Carranza and
Carbajal together are apparent. General
Carranza, according to Mr.. Silliman's re-
ports, reveals spirit of friendiness to
the American government and a readi-
tt
prevent further fighting.
The Washington government is in
touch with Mr.. Carbajal through his
personal representative here, Jose Cas-
tellot, who declared today that rela-
tions between the two governments
were very cordial
viii Recognize carranza
The United States has pointed out
to Gen. Carranza through Mr.. Sill
man that the United States stands
ready to recognize Carranza if his
forces enter Mexico City peacefully af-
ter giving guarantees to the Carbajal
government as well as pledges for the
holding of an election and the carry
ing out of internal reforms. Generally,
Washington officials are highly OPP
timistic over the favorable turn of
events Already they are predicting
complete peace in Mexico in another
fortnight.
Early return of Americans who left
Mexico during the stormy days of the
revolution is expected, though it is I'M
likely that the state department will
officially advise a return until after
the transfer of government at Mexico
CITY to the Constitutionalsts is actual
" accomplished.

After The experience yesterday Wnen
the weather cleared within an hour
after the race was called off, the COM
niittee waited until noon today be-
fore making any effort to leave the
harbor The fog appeared about to lift
SO the committee boat, the steam yacht
Alberta, started out, followed by the
Resolute and Vanitie under sail and
the Defiance in tow. 1t was the inten-
ton of the committee to start the
yachts at the lightship and send them
to the Point Judith whistling buoy
seven miles to windward and return,
possibly sailing the course twice IL the
weather permitted. The fleet of boats,
cup defenders. steam yachts, tenders
and tugs had just cleared Fort Adam
when the fog shut in as thick as
swans dawn. The Defiance hurried
back to her anchorage and the others
followed Immediately while the COM
mittee reluctantly called off hostilities
for the day. The fog held fast for the
remainder of the day, but clearing
weather is promised for tomorrow.
Adverse Conditions
Never before have the cup class
tons on their trial races as have pre-
vailed here for more than a week. The
cup candidates came here on July 6
for series of 10 races from which the
Americas cup committee confidently
expected to obtain considerable infor-
nation as to the relative abilities OF
the boats on all points of sailing to
be used with other matter gathered In
Is more races to be sailed next month
Yet the weather conditions have beer
so adverse here that five races have
! been called off on account of fogs
gales and Gains, one cancelled at the
| request of the owners (although the
day proved a fine one), one race was
sailed in such uncertain airs as t.
prove of little use as a comparative
contest, another ended in fog with
the leading yacht hunting for the line
! and failing to finish, leaving only one
satisfactory contest, that of July {

| peted, as the third broke down be-

yards for cleaning, alterations and re-
pairs ~

Their next meeting will be the first
run of the New York Yacht Club
cruise on July 81 from Glen Cove to
Smithtown. Here will be five of these
runs on the cruise, which will be fol-
lowed by two special races off here
and then after weeks rest by the
seven trial races, also off this port
beginning Aug. Is. Including tomor-
rows contest, there are, therefore, Ii
more races for the cup defenders. The
runs of the cruise, however, are usual
ly off the wind, except perhaps tina,
from Vineyard Haven to Newport sc
that there will be only 10 races for the
yachts over regular Americas CUP
courses.
Whether these cruising runs and the
cup course races will furnish the cur
committee with sufficient data with
which to base its decision Is becomine
matter of growing interest among
yachtsmen, especially as recent con.
tests have shown the three yachts to
be much closer than the earlier races
indicated.
Orders for the New York Yacht Club
cruise were posted today. The Gus
