Governor Iturbide added that the
peace negotiations will be advanced
upon a basis giving full guarantees
to everybody. This is taken to mean
that General C~arranza has agreed to

JONES WITHDRAWN
WILSON sURRENDERs TO THE
STRONG OPPOSITION 70 THE
CHICAGO MAN.
WAS HIS personal CHOICE"
Senators Hitherto Friendly to Ad-
ministration Warn President They
Are Against the Nominee for Fed
erai Reserve Board.

Washington, July 25.-President
Wilson has withdrawn the nomination
Of Thomas D. Jones of Chicago as a
member of the federal reserve board
and so accepts the first defeat he has
received at the hands of congress.
Mr.. Jones was the presidents per
sonal choice" for the board. The presi-
dent SO announced several weeks ago
in a letter to Senator Owen, chairman
of the banking and currency commit
tee. This letter was the signal for re-
newed efforts on the part of the sena
tors opposing Jones. Their triumph
was signalized by the presidents an
nouncement.
The friends of the administration
made every effort to swing enough
votes to confirm Jones. They were at
least five short. The attacks on the
president, on Jones and on the Demo
Gratis finally became so bitter that the
Democratic leaders went to he White
House and frantically urged the presi-
dent to give in.
The climax came when a group OF
senators who have been regarded as
friendly to the administration in the
fight sent word to the president that if
he forced them to vote they could not
and would not support him and
his candidate. Among these senators
we're Clarke of Arkansas, Johnson OF
Maine and Shively of Indiana. There
were eight or nine others in the group,
sufficient to convince even the presi-
dent that the outlook was hopeless.
The president did not take his defeat
gracefully. There is a n underlying
note of bitterness in his letter to Mr
Jones, acceding to his request that his
name be withdrawn, and with a certain
amount of sarcasm he refers to Sen
ators Reed of Missouri and Hitchcock
of Nebraska, who were leading the
fight against Jones, as members of the
majority who have usually acted with"
the Republicans.
The presidents withdrawal of the
nomination came at the close of a day
in which both the president and Jones
were bitterly attacked by senators OPP
posed to the appointment.
Senator Reed of Missouri, Democrat,
in a speech to the senate, denounced
the Harvester trust. of which Jones is
a director; characterized Jones, by in
ference, as a criminal, and indirectly
attacked the president as an enemy of
Democracy.
Senator Hitchcock Of Nebraska,
Democrat, introduced an amendment
to the trade commission bill to rendeA
ineligible to the federal reserve board
any person connected with a corpora
ton such as the Harvester trust.
Senator William Alden Smith of
Michigan, Republican, in an interview
accused the president Of lack of can
dor in the Jones appointment.

SUE, SAYS PRESIDENT
ORDERS PROSECUTION OF NEW
HAVEN ROAD DIRECTORS.
Position Told in Letters-civii Action
to Dissolve the Railway Combine
Also Called For.

Washington, July 23.-Criminal pro-
ceedings before a grand jury to pun
ish the directors Of the New Haven,
and a civil suit to dissolve the railroad
combine, will be brought Immediately
by the department of justice, with the
sanction of President Wilson.
The position of the president and
Attorney General McRey1olds was
made public through letters, one from
the attorney general to President ].
H. Hustis of the New Haven, dated
July 9; one to President Wilson from
the attorney general, dated July q.
and the presidents reply.
The concluding paragraphs of the
presidents letter is a follows:
In the circumstances the course
you propose is the only one the gov
eminent can pursue. l therefore re-
quest and direct that a proceeding in
equity be filed, seeking the dissolu-
ton of the unlawful monopoly of
transportation facilities in New Eng
land now sought to be maintained by
the New York, New Haven & Hartford
Railroad company, and that the GRIM
inal aspects of the case be laid before
a grand jury.
In his letter to the president, Attor-
ney General McReynolds stated that
If his recommendations met with ap-
I proval he would Immediately give the
necessary directions.
THE criminal aspect of the case
he stated in his letter, have been
kept constantly in mind; much data
bearing thereon vas collected some
months ago, and care has been exer-
cised to permit nothing which might
interfere with proper prosecution at
the appropriate time. We have not
held out the slightest hope that par
ties guilty of criminal violations OF
the law could escape.
In April and May last, there be
ing indication that the interstate com.
merce commission, by examining
them, might immunize certain central
figures in the unlawful arrangement
it was asked carefully to consider the
effect of such action. Nevertheless
Mellen, and perhaps other ~flagrantly
culpable, were put upon the stand
and any criminal prosecution here
after instituted probably. will be EN-
b~arrassed by a claim of immunity in.
