Bloody Fighting precedes Fall Of The
City---3,5OO Reported LOst-.-Car-
rama In Charge
CITY REPORTED IN PANIC
Many American Residents Thought To
Be In Danger From The
Natives

Washington. - Dispatches to the
Carranza agency from Vera Cruz
announced that General Carranza was
sending officers of the various depart
ments of his government on a special
train to Mexico City to set up a
civil administration.
Gen. Lopez de Lara, newly appoint
ed governor of the federal dIsLrct,
started from Vera Cruz with his staff
several days ago, has taken charge
in the capital, which, according to
state department reports, the Zapata
forces evacuated after making last
stand against the victorious attacking
army under Gen. Pablo Gonzales.
To Cut of Zapata's Army
The Carranza representative had a
dispatch from General Gonzales, tell
ing of the evacuation and saying a
detachment had been sent southwark
to cut off the retreat of Zapatas army
This message said:
Mexico City is being evacuated by
the Zapatistas and the Constitutional
list forces are occupying the capital
There was severe fighting in the out
skirts of the city between Guadalupe
and Rio Consulado, which is within the
city limits. The Zapatistas lost $500
men, four pieces of artillery and a
great quantity Of small arms and am
munition. Immediately after the de-
feat they began hasty evacuation
of Mexico City, fleeing south. The re-
treating Zapatistas were pursued by
a portion of the Gonzales army, while
a heavy detachment was sent post
haste southwark to cut across on their
flank several miles south of the city"

SAYS HE IS
PROSECUTED
TAGGART REAssERTs INNOCENCE
AND ASKS FOR AN lMME-
DATE TRIAL
Out Of 1871 Men Arraiened, Seven
Plead Guilty And Released On
Their Own Recoenizance

Indianapolis, Ind.-"This whole
business is a persecution and not
prosecution, and l demand an imme-
diate trial." said Thomas Taggart,
Democratic national committeeman
from Indiana, after 120 of the 131 men
charged with frauds in the 1914 regis
tration, primary and election, had been
arraigned and seven had pleaded gull
ty before Judge James A. Collins, in
criminal court.
81 never had anything to do with
any one of the men who pleaded gull
ty," said Taggart. Il do not know
these men, and it seems odd that they
should be permitted to go on their
own recognizance if they are so gull
ty. l don't know what l have been
indicted for, although l have made
every effort to find out. | want an
immediate trial because this whole
thing is an effort to besmirch my name
as we'll as many Of my friends"
Mayor Joseph E. Bell, who also was
among those indicted, issued a state
ment, saying:
THE pleading guilty of the seven
men is an effort to connect us with
men with whom we never have had
any dealings in any way whatsoever.
These men came into court and plead
ed guilty without the indictment be-
ing read. They were released imme-
diatelv on their own recognizance and
this seems rather unusual"
Besides the 120 who were arraigned
eight have not been arrested Two
are in prison. One is out OF the
state, but has promised to return and
the other five are believed to have
been designated in the indictment. by
wrong names. Three others have been
given additional time to study the in
dictment before pleading.
To Select New Judge
After motion for a change of venue
to another Judge was filed, Judge Col
Inns agreed to name date within a
few days when attorneys for the state
and defense will select judge to
try the case.

Cecil Spring British ambassador
to the United States, and destroy
by bombs British vessels clearing from
American ports has been received by
a local newspaper from person who
signed himself as "Pearce," and said
he was a partner of Frank Holt.
Pearce declared that he had come
to New Orleans to complete plans for
the destruction of British mule trans
ports sailing from this port, and said
the steamers Howth Head and Baron
Napier, which cleared from here July
s and sailed from Port Eads the fol-
lowing day, probably never would be
heard from again. The Howth Head
sailed for Dublin and Belfast via Nor
folk for coal, with a general mer-
chandise cargo, while the Baron Ma
pier had on board 967 mules for Avon
mouth, England, direct. Neither YES
sci carried passengers, but the Baron
Napier has aboard number of mule
teers.

Seeks Market For Cotton

New Orleans.-The lifting Of the
English blockade in time to provide
market for the cotton crop soon
to be marketed will be discussed at
called meeting of the membership
of the National Association of Cotton
Exchanges, which will assemble at the
New Orleans exchange July Is. 1t is
pointed out that the cotton world
confronts a crisis in the shutting off
of markets for 100000 bales of the
crop at a time when other markets
are heavily overstocked, That the
neutral rights of shipment of noncon-
traband products through neutral
countries may be protected, it has
been proposed that this meeting send
delegation to Washington to back
up the government in every way pos
sible in relieving the situation.

THE DEEPEST WELL
IN THE WORLD.
Located In The German En-
pire And Is More Than
A Mile Deep.

The deepest well in the world is
in Upper Silesia, in the German EN-
pire. 1t is a diamond-drill hole in a
coal field and is 1850 feet deep. A
well in the United States which may
go deeper, according to the United
States Geological Survey, is A miles
northwest of Mcdonald, Pa, and
about Is miles west of Pittsburg.
This well, which is being sunk to
the Medina sandstone bed that
elsewhere contains oil and gas, is
now 7,174 feet deep. Some gas and
oil were struck in the upper part
of the well. Between the depths of
$3.50 and 7,100 feet rocks bearing
rock salt and salt water were en-
countered. These are regarded as
of Salina age, the same as those car
rying rock salt in western New York.
The temperature in this we'll at the
depth of 6,775 feet, as recently de-
termined with great accuracy, is
| 1853 degrees Fahrenheit.
At Derrick City, Mexican County,
Pa, near Bradford, there is a well
$500 feet deep, which is probably
the second deepest well in the United
States. Another deep we'll is on
Slaughter Creek, Kanawha County,
W. Va; it is 5,595 feet deep. 1t pen
etrated sandstone at 5000 to $3.50
feet, and from this depth to the bot
tom, distance 545 feet, the well
is in limestone. Near West Eliza
beth, Pa, there is another well s.
SIS feet beneath the surface, pene-
trating into a black shale. Another
deep we'll is being drilled at Gaines,
Pa. This has already reached a
depth of $500 feet. Deep well drill
ers in this country of course employ
the most improved and effective rigs,
but one of the most remarkable of
wells, reaching depth of 5000 feet,
was drilled for petroleum in western
China by means of such crude ap-
planes as a cable made of twisted
strands of rattan.

Atlanta.-M. 7. Toney was seriously

Allies Lose Airships

notwithstanding to German Off

not fewer than 1876 hostile air craft
up to June %. OF these 81 were
French. The English lost At. The
Russians have fewer aeroplanes, and
their losses reach only six. While
most of the aeroplanes were brought
to earth by artillery or machine gun
fire from the ground, almost one-fifth
of the French losses resulted from bat.

Reply Confuses
The Situation
German Reply To American Note Does
Not Give Assurances Of Safety
We Asked For
LUSITANIA SINKING DEFENDED
In Washineton-Some Con-
cessions Made

Washington.-Arri of the Ger
man reply to the United States sub
marine note confirmed impressions
current in official quarters for several
days that Germany would refuse to
give assurances asked by the United
States that the lives of Americans
travelling the high seas on unarmed
ships of any nationality be not endan-
gered.
The apparent restrictions placed by
Germany on the use Of American pas
senger ships which it seems are to be
given complete immunity from inter-
ference only if they do not carry con-
traband was regarded in many quar-
ters as adding another to many issues
which have arisen over submarine
warfare.
Germany EVades Lusitania Horror
Assumptions of liability for the loss
of Americans in the Lusitania tragedy
is considered to have been wholly
evaded by Germany, and the chief
principle for which the United States
announced that it would omit mo
word or act" to see observed was view
ed as having been lightly passed over.
The general feeling that the note
would be unsatisfactory and bring to
crisis the friendly relations that have
existed between the United States and
Germany developed more strongly in
official quarters as news OF the con-
tents of the note spread. For several
days tension has been renewed, but
officials have declined to manifest
their displeasure or apprehension over
the situation, believing that nothing
could be done or said until the official
version of the German reply was at
hand
What the course of the United
States will be is problematical. Many
of those in official quarters familiar
with Germanys proposals as outlined
by Ambassador Gerard in the last few
davs are in favor of an emphatic as
sertion by the American government
which it holds under international law,
placing upon Germany the response
bility for any future violations that
may cause a breach in friendly rela-
tions.
United States To Assert Rights
Persons conversant with diplomatic
precedents in the framing of notes be-
leved the next step of necessity would
be an advance in the position of the
United States, for, having asked for
assurances and failed to receive them,
the field for further negotiations had
been considerably narrowed and now
required some assertion of rights.
In total effect the purpose of the
Washington government in contending
that Americans have the right to trav-
ell anywhere on the high seas on un-
armed and unresisting merchantmen
is held by many officials thus far to
have been successful, for there has
been an absence of any important vio-
lation of American rights since the ne
gotiations began two months ago.
There have been no adYices OF any
case of torpedoing without warning in
the last few weeks, and, although the
efforts of the United States to obtain
by diplomacy an explicit agreement to
modify German submarine operations
have not been successful the practice
has undergone changes in the view
of officials who have kept close watch
on the activities of the underwater
craft,
