MEXICAN HARMONY
WITHIN TWO WEEKS
WASHING TREATS WITH ZEPATA
TO LEAD HIM FROM RE-
.BELLlON.
WANT CARABAJAL TO RESIGN
And New President is Willing to Give
Government Into Hands of Gen.
eral carranza Conditionally.

Washington.-Every influence and
diplomatic agency at the disposal OF
the government is working for imme-
date peace in Mexico.
The administration is convinced
that, with the elimination of Huerta,
the factions in Mexico will be drawn
together quickly. To assure restora-
ton of normal conditions without fur
Their bloodshed, officials here are
exerting themselves to smooth the
way for a new and stable admlnlstra-
ton which shall be recognized by the
powers.
Not only is the American govern
ment at this moment counseling Cen
eral Carranza to arrange with Fran
cisco Carbajal, Huerta's successor, for
the peaceful transfer Of the govern
ment at Mexico City to the Constitu-
,tionalists, but it became known the
administration is indirectly in COM
munication with Zapata, leader OF
the revolution in Southern Mexico.
Zapata has $4,000 men, and though
most of them are poorly equipped
they would constitute a serious. men
ace to a new government II they re-
NAMED in revolution. Zapata who
demands agrarian reforms, made COM
mon cause with the Constitutional
lists and obtained supplies from them
with which to fight the Huerta gov
eminent. It is not known yet, how
" whether he will lay down his
arms in favor Of Carranza.
The United States is using its in
fuence through friends Of Zapata to
bring him into harmony with the
peace program and an emissary from
General Carranza is now on his way
to confer with him.
These activities on the part Of the
American government result from a
desire that when the Constitutional
lists are installed in Mexico City and
comply with the conditions prerequi-
site to formal recognition, there shall
be an end to revolution in Mexico
with its ever-threatening information
al aspects.
Carranza has been informed that
he must conduct his triumph tenn
perately; that an amnesty for politi-
cal offenders be declared and the
rights of the clergy and other foreign
ers who have suffered, especially
Spaniards, be given due respect.

Neutrality-suspicious. III Mexico are
shaping themselves for a termination
of the civil strife that has kept that
country in a turmoil and threatened
at one time to provoke war with the
United States. General Huerta against
whom the Constitutionalists have
waged incessant warfare since he
overthrow President .Madero Is
months ago, has given up the struggle
at last.
Weakened by the struggle Of the
United States to recognize his Gov
eminent and cut off from financial
support in Europe, he, realizes the
big Constitutionalist army, augmented
daily as It presses southwark, is at
the threshold of the Mexican capital.
Fearful that an invading army may
commit excuses which would endang-
er the lives Of an innocent population
and destroy property, persons infuen.
tial with the nan who has dictated
affairs in Mexico City at w whim
have persuaded him to abandon his
hopeless position. -
Comprehensive messages to Wash
ington diplomats from legations and
consulates In Mexico City thus de-
scribe the situation.
Within a few days General Huerta
is expected to resign in favor Of his
newly appointed Minister Of Foreign
Affairs, Francisco Carbajal, until re-
Gently chief justice of the Supreme
Court of Mexico. Difficulties between
the United States and the Huerta Gov
eminent were composed at Niagara
Falls Huerta would leave the internal
problem to be settled by his successor.
Carbajal, it is expected, would
bring the gap from the Huerta regime
to a new provisional administration
controlled by the Constitutionalists.

MAKE THOROUGH INQUEST
Interstate Commission Powerless to
Aid Stockholders to Recover Bulk

Washington.-The story Of the
reckless and profligate" financial
operations Of the New Haven Rail-
road, one Of the most remarkable
chapters in the railroad history of
America and the history Of American
finance, was revealed in part by the
Interstate Commerce Commission to
the senate of its investigation Of that
road.
1t told of millions used like stage
money, Of corporations as pawns in
a monster game with all New Eng
lands transportation as a prize, which
led the New Haven in the ten years
just passed from the height Of pros
perity to the point where a dividend
has been passed, where a dissolution
suit is threatening and where crimi-
nal indictments Of many Of the d.
rectors who figured in deals are at
least a possibility.
Hampered by unwilling witnesses,
by burned books and by all the
mazes which lawyers invented to
cover the trail, the commission esti.
mated that in the progress toward
monopolization Of New England
transportation of New Haven stock
holders have lost between s65, 0 900
and $50, 900, 900, but little. of which
they may ecove In return, the re-
port said, they have on their hands
properties which pay no dividends,
which eat into the earnings Of the
parent road and which will be a bur-
den on its capacity for many years
to come.
OF the present directing head,
Chairman Howard Elliott, and Wal
ker D. Hines, special counsel, the
report says, they have ~co-operated
with the commission and rendered it
substantial assistance throughout this
investigation"

RAILROAD DIRECTORS SILENT.
Senate Has Commissions Report on,
Railroad and Officials Wont

New York.TJ. P. Morgan and Com
pany refused to discuss the report Of
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion severely censuring the directors
of the New York, New Haven and
Hartford Railroad, under the admin
istration of Charles s.. Mellen, for
reckless and pro1igate" financial
operations estimated to have cost
stockholders from s65, 1000, 900 to $780,.
600, 1000. j. P. Morgan himself, how
ever, denied the charge that the COM
missions examiners were not accord
ed full ces to the firms books
bearing upon the New Haven.
The New Haven situation, 1t was
pointed out, now is out Of the hands
of the commission and what action,
If any, is taken on recommendations
that the directors be prosecuted lies
with the department Of Justice and
the District Attorneys in the statesS

WANTS NEW HAVEN TO OBEY.

Washington Hopes New England
Road Will Avoid Prosecution.
Washington. = Attorney General
McReynolds is waiting only for the
outcome of a meeting Of New Haven
Railroad directors in New York be-
fore determining the course the Gov
eminent will pursue in untangling the
New Haven system.
This meeting Is expected to con-
slider legislation recently enacted by
Massachusetts affecting the sale OF
Boston and Maine Railroad stock now
held indirectly by the New Haven.
The roads executive committee has
expressed unwillingness to attempt to
dispose of the Boston and Maine IN
view Of this legislation, which gives
Massachusetts, an option to purchase
the stock. II the directors also de-
cline there Is little doubt that a suit
will be filed late this week IN New
York to have the New Haven dis
solved under tie Sherman antitrust
act. If they accept the Massachusetts
legislation, q suit will be averted.
Administration officials do not deny
they would like to e the New
Haven directors accept the Massa-
chusetts legislation and prevent an
antitrust suit. One argument ad-
vanced in negotiations with the New
Haven has been that business all
through New England will be ser
iously affected by an antitrust suit.

STRIKERS DEFEAT GUARDS.
Pitched Battle Near Fort Smith, Ark,
Between Hundreds of Men.


Pitched Battle Near Fort Smith, Ark,
Between Hundreds of Men.
Fort Smith, Ark.-After a pitched
battle between several hundred strik-
ing coal miners and their sympathiz-
ers and 100 guards stationed at the
Prairie Creek mines of the Mammoth
Vein Coal Company near Fort Smith
which ended in the rout of the
guards, tipples of three mines were
destroyed by fire and dynamite. The
property damage is estimated at $780,
900. So far as can be ascertained no
one was killed or seriously wounded
in the fighting, which began shortly
after. day break and continued until
late in the day, when the mine guards
retreated after their ammunition was
exhausted. a
Rioters held possession of the mines
for several hours, wrecking the plants
with torch and explosives.
County officials went to the scene
late in the day, but before they ar
rived the attacking party had dis
persed.
The rioting was a elimination Of
a series of disturbances which have
occurred at intervals since the con-
tract with the United Mine Workers
was abrogated last March and an
nouncement made that the properties
owned by the Bache-Denman Coal
Company, but leased by the Mammoth
Vein Company would be operated on
an "open shop" basis.

Fiuhters Cannot Rule.

Torreon, Mexico.-At the conference
between Carranza and Villa represen-
tatives here, the plan of Guadalupe,
under which the present revolution
has been operating, was amended so
as to prevent any military leader
from becoming provisional president
Of Mexico. This would eliminate Car
rama, Villa, Angeles or any Of the
leaders now in the field as presiden-
tial possibilities. This was stated in
a lengthy official statement issued
here by the delegates. The conven-
ton agreed Carranza was the leader.

Mexico City-General Vlctorlano
Huerta resigned from the provisional
presidency Of the Mexican RepuDilc
and his resignation was accepted oy
the senate and chamber OF deputies
by a vote of 121 to II. ,
Francisco Carbajal then was ap-
pointed president and took the oatn
of office at the joint. session OF inc
deputies and senators.
Hureta's resignation was submitted
through the department OF foreign
relations. It was read in the house
and was greeted with cries OF viva
Huerta." It then was referred to the
Joint committees of Gobernacion. At
ter brief consideration the commit
|tees reported accepting the resigna'
ton in the following terms:
Article I've accept the resisna-
ton presented by General Victoriano
Huerta as president Of the Mexico
United States.
Article I've call Licentiate Fran
cisco Carbajal, minister of foreign re-
lations to assume the presidency"
A ballot was taken and the joint
session approved the report.
President Carbajal proceeded TO the
national palace under an escort OF
presidential guards, and all along the
way was greeted; with tumultuous
cheering. g.,
The galleries Of the chamber OF
deputies were packed before the be-
ginning Of the session.
Intense excitement characterized
the gathering and at the close OF the
reading of Huerta's resignation the
deputies and spectators broke into
loud and continued applause.
After the acceptance of Huerta's
RESIGNATION, a commission was ap'
pointed by the president of the cham
bier to escort Senior Carbajal to the
floor of the house. Senior Carba1al
soon appeared in front OF the cham
Der, passing through files of soldiers.
He entered and as he walked to the
platform the deputies stood. Speaker
Manuel Mercade then administered
the oath.

HUERTkS RETREAT.
WASHINGTON OFFICIALS De-
LIEvE IT FIRST STEP TO so
LUTON OF AFFAIRS.
WILL NOT EXCEPT cARBAjAL
carranza Will Not Recognize New
Leader, Neither VIII United
States.

Washington. News Of General
Huerta's resignation as Proylsional
President of Mexico was hailed by
official Washington as the first prac-
teal step toward a quick solution OF
the Mexican problem, Constitutional
lists, diplomats and officials Of the
United Sites were eiated over Cen
eral Huerta's voluntary withdrawal
and predicted an era Of peace In his
country. l
Although the . Constkutionaltsts
have declared, they would not recog-
nize Francisco CarbajaI as Provision
al President, and the United States
Government likewise will refuse to
recognize him, the understanding
here Is that the new Executive will
hold Office only until arrangements
can be made for the entry Of General
Carranza, the Constitutionalist, chief
Diplomats In close touch with the
situation declare Carbajal and those
who are. associated with him In an
effort to restore peace, desire only 81
general amnesty, conserving the lives
and property Of aHuerta's supporters.
With this obtained, the peaceful en-.
try into the Mexican Capital OF Con-
stitutionalist troops viii be negotia-
ted.
General Huerta's retirement came
just as the, Constftutionalists were
preparing their formal note declining
participation In informal conferences
with Huerta delegates to discuss In
ternal Mexican questions.
Hopes were raised that new nego-
tiations might be begun, however,
between representatives Of Carranza
and Carbajal for the speedy transfer
Of power to the Constitutionalists. It
Is virtually certain that the Husrta
representatives at Niagara Falls tkfi
be designated by .Carbajal to looklaf7t
ter his interests in this country. That
the mediators will make another eff
fort to bring the factions into confer
ence Is considered likely.
General Carranza, the medtators
believe, would profit greatly by enter
ing into such conferences. He thus
might guarantee himself immediate
recognition by the United States and
Argentina, Brazil and Chile. Under
terms of protocols signed at Ma
CARA Falls, the United States promis-i
ed to recognize any government set
up by agreement, between the Mexi-t
can factions without waiting for an
election.
Should Carranza refuse to parleys
with the Carbajal Government and
insist on taking Mexico City by force,
setting up a military government,
recognition in all likelihood would be
deferred until after an election.

Data Is Prepared on Tobacco Crop.

Data Is Prepared on Tobacco Crop.
Inasmuch as the tobacco harvest
and marketing season is about to
open the state department of agricul-
ture has been busy during the past
week getting full information at first
hand in regard to the crop conditions
and in regard to the markets and
warehouses that will be operated this
season, this being necessary owing to
the fact that every pound Of tobacco
sold in the state must be reported by
months to the department.
NJ. J. Miller, chief clerk of the de-
partment, spent several days going
through the tobacco territory, visit
ing the warehouses and the ware
housemen and getting complete data
preliminary to sending out the neces-
sary blanks.
Commissioner Watson in summar-
izing the information that has been
obtained gives the following interest
ing information in regard to the out
look and to the market season:
1.-THE tobacco season in South Car
DINA this year promises to be one Of
the best in the history of the state.
Last year 33,299,5 SCI pounds of to-
bacco were raised and sold in ths
state and brought to the producers
the sum of 81 S4, 339.S1, an increase
Of 81 per cent over the preceding
year in production and nearly $4,000
900 morethan the preceding year in
money value. The average price paid
per pound last year vas 1877 cents.
At the height of the season last year
there were 10 markets operating AZ
warehouses. The markets, were: Con-
way, Darlington, Dillon, Florence,
Hemingway, Johnsonville,' Kingstree,
Lake City, Lamar, Latta, Loris, Man
ming, Marion, M~ayesville, Mullins,
Nichols, Olanta, Pages Mill and Tim
monsville.
This eason 1t appears that there
will be only two warehouses that
were open last year not in operation
this year, one at Mayesvi1le and one
at Florence. There will be in opera
ton this season, the following new
warehouses: One at Aynor, two at
Huntsville one at Hemingway, one
at Kingstree, one at Manning, two at
Pamlico, one at Sumter, one at Olan-
ia, one at Cheraw and probably mi
at Dorchester.
This means the establishment Of at
least five and probably six new mar
kets this year: Aynor, Pamlico,
Huntsville, Sumter, Cheraw and Dor
chester. The opening Of the g mar
kets shows the expansion Of the to-
bacco growing territory.
TT has been agreed by both as
sociations to open the tobacco mar
keting season in all warehouses
throughout the tobacco territory on
July % and the indications are that
there will be a very large amount Of
tobacco Of fine quality offered at the
several breaks"

Dividends From Surplus.

Albany, N. Y.-That directors OF a
corporation have the right to pay
dividends from a surplus, was the
opinion in the cas- of the Equitable
Life Assurance Society against the
Union Pacific Railroad Company
handed down by the Court Of Appeals
and made public in full. The Equi-
table Society, as holders of preferred
stock in the Union Pacific, insisted
that the Union Pacific directors had
no authority to distribute $50, 600, 900
dividends.
