CAROTHERS ARRIVES AT
JUAREZ FROM TORREON

ish consul at ri PasO has reported 20
the embassy here that he had heard
OF the issue OF such an order by
villa. there Is 80 far no evidence that
II has been actually put into eNecu-
tion. Although American Consular
Agent Carothers has been in close
communication with General villa. he
has made no reference TO this decree
OF expulsion and the cnly word that
came 20 the state department today
from Torrcon was a report that the
best OF order prevailed there; that all
foreigners were safe and that none
had been killed or wounded.
In regard TO suggestions that the
Spaniards should have quilted Tor
reon long ago when they were
warned to leave. IL was said at the
embassy to-day that OF the 1900 Span.
iards In Torreon about 500 did depart
and only those remained who found
n absolutely necessary to do so. Tho
situation of the Spaniards who were
forced out of chihuahua four months
ago is said 10 be one of uncertainty
and hardship. For the most part they
crossed the border and located in the
neighborhood OF Fl Paso. where they
have set to work 20 maintain them
selves by their own labor until they
can find an opportunity TO return TO
their homes in Mexico.
Have Sound Claims.
International law authorities here
hold that these people. as well as the
Spaniards of Torreon II they are ex-
PEELED. will have perfectly sound
claims for full indemnity for their
losses against any government that
may be permanently set up in Mexico.
The military situation in the vicin-
ity OF Torreon remains a mystery to
the state and war department officials
For some reason Agent Carothers'
reports have omitted any reference
10 the whereabouts OF the federal
army which withdrew from Torreon.
and the Mexican embassy continues
I confident in the ultimate triumph Of
the federal generals over Villa.

Members OF the committee appar-

they are particularly anxious to have

vious years has caused financial
worry. and which last fall led to. di-
rect loans from the United States
treasury TO national banks in the
farming regions.
Under the Law the several steps TO
be taken by the banks might BE- de-

chance of setting the reserve banks

what he was talking about.
Yesterday was his first chance to
prove the strength of his claims. And
be made every one good in impress
Sive style. His work throughout was
featured by confidence that seemed
lacking in two. previous seasons.
There was sharp hop on his fast fall
ball, and the splitter broke with an
unsolvable puzzle.
At no time was he in danger, and
not once did he shows signs of as
cending. The only run that scored
was the result of a two-base throw
by Zimmerman.
Jimmy Johnston broke off dou-
bic and single, and showed some of
The f1ashy baserunning that made him
a coast sensation. He was on second
base in the third when Vic Safer tap
ped a soft one down the first base
line. Vic was exterminated, first base
man to the pitcher, but Johnston
scored all the way from second. This
burst of speed was the more remark
able in view of the fact that the base
lines were heavy and covered with
SawduSt.
Leach and Safer also got two hits
each.
Fred MoiIwitz, the young first base
man who is hanging around as an
understudy for Vic Safer, is still
threatening to hop to the Federals
if he is not given a substantial salary
increase by President Thomas.
. MoIiwitz, according to the best in
formation, is drawing about $1,000
year from the Cubs. He has been Of
fered $4,000 by the Feds with a bonus
for signing. O'Day has prevailed up
on the tall fellow to stay put until he
sees Thomas, but $2,400 per year if
large sum to pass up.
MoIlwitz, while not able to get
Saier's job, is mighty sweet looking
ba1player, and would be great help
to the Brooklyn Feds, who are after
him. In the few games that he play

baseman in order to get the benefit
of his hitting.
With the political end of the Cub
mess we are not trifing. There are
still rumors that Thomas will be GUST
ed as president and that Taft will be
forced from control. Just how the
magnates are going about this is hard
to understand. Taft is no Fogel, Muir
ply or McAleer. He has the good old
coin in his own name.
Jim Scott and Buck Weaver, the
two Sox players who are reported to
be ready to hop to the Feds, in spite
of the fact that Fed magnates deny
they are after the athletes, are said
to be disgruntled because they did
not get a share of the profits of the
worlds tour of the SoX and Giants.
That is poor grievance. The men
all understood when they began the
jaunt that they were not to share in
the profits, if there were any. They
were to be guaranteed all expenses,
and that let them out. And it is ex-
tremely doubtful if much money was
cleaned up by the promoters. The
trip was a gigantic affair to finance
and in several cities on the route the
receipts were small.
The Sox firsts beat Venice 7 to 2
and the seconds were trimmed by
Oakland, 6 to 8.
Weaver was back with the first
team and batted in the cleanup posi-
ton. Alcock is now being given a
trial at second base, which is his
natural position, and the fight for the
keystone from now on will be be-
tween this youngster and Russell
Blackburne.
Callahan is trying to convert Daily,
the young catcher, into an outfielder,
as was predicted few days ago. He
is holding down left field for the first
team and will remain in that position
except when Ray Schalk is forced to
take a rest. 1t is not probable that
