CARRANzA READ
At CONVENTION
Message Creates Turmoil,
Spectators Try to Break
Up Meeting; Villa and Za-
pata Must Retire to Pri-
vate Life.
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATCHl

MEXICO CITY, Oct. 30.-The res
ignation of Carranza as provisional
president and first chief of the con-
stitutionalist army, conditional that
Villa and Zapata retire to private
life was read at the peace conven-
ton at Aguas Calientes.
The message created turmoil in
the convention hall, the spectators
trying to break up the meeting. In
his resignation, CarranZa offered 10
leave the country if it is the wish
of the convention. His three condi
tions are that: Villa resign his
command of the northern army, re
tire to private life and leave the
country if Carranza is requested to
leave: that Zapata turn over his
command as general as designated
by the convention, and retire to pri-
vate life, and that pre-constitution
alist government be established with
the support of the army until con-
ditions justify a legal and constitu-
tional regime.
Carranza concluded: IF it is only
desired to remove me from power
50 that other personal ambitions may
find a clear way. then l declare that
| am firmly resolved to. serve the
cause for which l have been strug-

Colonel Theodore Roosevelt
Says He Has Seen Plans
Prepared for the Capture
Of San Francisco and
New York
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATCHJ

PRINCETON, n. J., oct. 3O-"I
myself have seen the plans of two
empires now at war to capture the
great cities of the United States"
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt told
Princeton students The plan is to
hold them for ransom because our
army is too weak to protect them. |
have seen plans to capture San
Francisco and New York and hold
them for ransom. Gripping our coun-
enemy"
Continuing, the former president
said:
4 hope the time will come when
this country will provide that every
man have practice in craftsmanship,
and some military training. 1t is
also my earnest wish that we finally
achieve an international status by
which there will be posse comitatus,
when we can combine to coerce any
.recaIcitrant power; but he have seen
the utter worthlessness of scraps OF
paper and other treaties that may be
swept aside like dust in a windy
street. a fight is never won by
parrying. You've got to hit and not
hit soft. The American people owe
it to themselves to make their hand
safeguard their head"
Colonel Roosevelt did not make any
, further referece to his statement le-
garding the plans of the European
nations to capture the seaports of
the country, which he said he had
! seen. Neither would he amplify the
statement when seen later.

CREDIT LOANS
WILL NOT Be
DISCOURAGED
Transactions With BelIig-
erent Nations by Ameri-
can Bankers Will Receive
No Interference from
Administration Officials.
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATcH1

WASHINGTON, oct. 30.-Viewing
the credit loans of the belligerent ma
tions as private transactions. the ad-
ministration will not attempt to dis
courage such transactions by American
bankers. This was learned when it be-
came known that German financiers
are contemplating the establishment of
a credit loan in this country similar to
the $1O,OOO,OOO credit fund negotiated
by the National City Bank of New York
and other bankers for the French gov
ernment.
The administrations decision may
tend to the purchase here of about $50
100000 worth of supplies by Russia and
an equal, if not greater amount by
Germany. Administration officials say
the president has not changed his view
that the loaning of money to belliger
ents would be Inconsistent with the
true spirit of American neutrality"
But a distinction is made between
such loans-bond issues offered for
public sale-and credit transactions in
tended as a checking account against
purchases by belligerents from Ameri-
can firms The president realizes no
legal right to oppose loans of any char
acter. but is opposed to loan money
because it is likely to arouse i'll feeling
and prejudice
Officials have unanimously decided
to refrain from discussing the subject
of loans. as the position of the govern
ment in the circumstances is an en-
barassing one When ]. p Morgan and
company, asked the opinion of the state
department several months ago, Wheth-
er the administration would approve a
| loan to France, the Washington gov
ernment expressed itself as against it,
| The bankers, however, are not obliged
to ask the advice Of the Washington
administration and they are just as
much at liberty to engage in credit
| loans as American ammunition firms
or horse dealers are permitted to send
munitions of war and horses to the bel
! ligarent armies.
The American government is under
no obligation to prevent their shipmeN--
nor has it any power under the laws
| of the United States to prevent com
merce in contraband The burden il
such cases rests on the belligerents af-
fected who can seize the contraband
so that the contraband, including car
goes of gold, are on the high seas anC
destined to belligerent ports
Under what is known as credit loan,
there is no intention, it is understood
to export any gold from the United
States. Large funds will be established
by the belliserent countries with theil
| financial agents here, who will pay bill
of the European nations to the American
dealers in munitions of war and sup
plies. Bankers will be given short tim,
notes by the belligerent government
with much better rate of interest, i
is said than ordinarily would be OBJ
tanned. In return for these considera
tions the European governments agre
to spend large sums of money in tn
United States for supplies

HOW THE FAT
WAS EXPRESSED
FROM EMPLOYEES
All State Clerks, Stenog-
raphers, Prison Guards,
Asylum Attendants Were
Forced to Become Con
tributors to Dem. Fund.

Not long ago The Republican under
the caption of Frying Out the Fat"
described the democratic process of
raising a campaign tund. According to
a we'll recognized and proper practice
an assessment was laid on all candi-
dates. But resorting to an improper
practice an assessment was also laid
on all employees of state institutions,
clerks, stenographers and prison
guards, asylum attendants and who
ever else occupies a position however
humble in the vicinity of the trough.
The amount levied upon the en-
ployes was five per cent of one years
salary, payable in two instalments, the
last to be paid before the election. The
assessment was put in the form of
request but every employe knew that
it meant the assessment would have to
be paid.
The subjoined list, the first filed un-
der the law on October IS, does not in
clude all of the contributors to the
slush fund. The names of the others
will appear in the lists required to be
filed later.
Some of the contributors appear to
have already paid all that will be re-
quired of them though the most of
them have paid only the first install
ment. Those whose names are desig-
mated by are officials, elective or
appoirtive or else candidates. A few.
and very few. of the others are well
known democrats and voluntary con-
tributors There are probably less than
| half a dozen of this class in the entire
| list
A comparison shows that the en-
ployes have been taxed much more
| heavily than the heads of the offices or
commissions because they could not
help themselves. They had to pay or
get out. In many cases from their own
statements the payment was a hard
ship They We're obliged to neglect
their monthly bills for two months in
order to meet it.
The iniquity of the assessment APP
pears the greater when it is considered
that the salaries of these clerks, a great
MANY more of them than are needed
are paid them by taxpayers and are
much more than the most of them
could earn in any private employment
1t will be noticed that the same
name frequently appears twice in the
list That means that that victim has
paid both of his installments, has beer
given a clearance and is sure of his
place for another term in the event the
present administration is retained

No Reply to Note

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3O.-Acting
Secretary Lansing has made not re-
ply as yet to a note from Foreign
Minister Fabela, of Mexico City, in
quiring in polite phrases when the
evacuation of Vera Cruz by the
American forces will begin. The pre-
vailing belief is the American gov
ernment will reiterate its request Tor
specific guarantees that Mexicans
who served during the American
occupation will be protected and
that the taxes and customs collected
by the United States officials Will
not be reimposed.
Fabela pointed out in his note that
General Aguilar. constitutionalist
commander of the safe of Vera Cruz,
has already issued a proclamation
giving these guarantees. The Ameri-
can governments note asking for a
manifesto from Carranza left here
before that proclamation was issued,
however, and it is believed officials
here will insist upon action by the
central government in Mexico City
as a prerequisite to the evacuation
especially since the convention al
Aguas Calientes has instructed Car
rama to comply with the wishes Of
the United States.
AS yet the convention has not talk
en- action on the resignation of Car
rama, spending much of its time
thus far formulating a platform BY
the combination of certain features
of the plan of Guadalupe and tht
Han of Ayala The latter plan WIS.,
| first put forth in November, 1911
after a conference called by Zapats
| with his chiefs AS many Of its ar
ticles were aimed at the Madero adj
ministration, which it opposed, an5
as circumstances have changed, SOM
of these points have been omitted.
The credentials of the Zapata dele
gates have been accepted and they
have pledged themselves to abide by
the decisions of the convention.

WASHINGTON. Oct S0-The state
department has decided to protest to
England against the detention of the
American steamship Kroonland held at
Gibraltar with 1900 passengers and
copper from New York for Italian and
Greek ports.
The British authorities will be asked
whether the vessel is held because of
the nature of her cargo, which has
been declared conditional contraband
or because German and Austrian re-
servists are among the passengers. Full
information concerning the case is
lacking but upon the facts in the hands
of the state department officials take
the position the ship either should be
released or taken forthwith into prize
court.

WASHINGTON Oct. 30.-Turkey's
attack on Russia, reports Of which
are confirmed in official dispatches
TO the American government and tU
the Russian embassy here, is viewed
by officials and diplomats generally
as likely to produce the gravest com
plications through the Balkan states,
Northern Africa and Asia Minor.
announcement of a state of war be-
tween Russia and Turkey is expect
ed eventually to bring into the list
of belligerents Greece and Italy, fol-
lowed by ROumania and Bulgaria.
Ambassador Morgenthau at Con
stantinople, in a brief cablegram,
made nc mention of the declaration
of war by Turkey on Russia, but said
! the British ambassador had informed
him of the Dombardment of Odessa
| by three Turkish torpedo boat de-
strOyers and the sinking of a Russian
| lgunboat. Previously Charge dAffaires
Wilson. at the American embassy at
Petrograd. relayed a message from
the American consul at odessa stat
! ing that in the bombardment of thar
town some American property was
destroyed.
/ With these dispatches and previous
/ indications from Levant, the officials
feared the long expected conflagra-
ton in Turkey is at hand. They are
prepared to use the American cruls-
ers North Carolina and Tennessee 70
assist the American missionaries. if
necessary, and to set in motion
measures of relief for Americans
similar to those begun when the first
nations of Europe were plunged into
war.
This far reaching effects of Tur-
ley's bombardment of Russian ports
is everywhere admitted. While it IS
suggested in some quarters that the
Ottoman government might repudiata
the raid of the Turkish destroyers,
the former German cruisers GOeben
land Breslau, attributing their acts to
the initiative of German officers and
the crews manning them, the belief
prevailed that Russia would Tot
passively accept her view, but would
consider herself in a state of war
with Turkey.
