MAY END HUERTA CASE
United States Likely to Require Him
to Leave Border and Keep Out
of Mexican Politics.

The case against Gen. Huerta,
charged with conspiracy to violate the
neutrality of the United States by
stirring up further revolution in Mex
leo, may be abandoned by the govern
ment. If indications here are to be be-
lieved. Huerta is to appear before a
United States commissioner for hear
ing next week.
Reports here are persistent that there
will be no prosecution, but that Huerta
will agree to leave the Mexican border
and take up his residence somewhere
in the northern part of the United
States, agreeing TO interfere no further
in Mexican politics.
1t has been pointed out that such a
settlement would accomplish the chief
rend desired by the government-pre-
yention Of Huerta's return to Mexico.
still further to complicate the situation
there.
Several messages were exchanged TO-
day between the Department of Justice
and Federal Attorney Camp at Ell
Paso. Mr.. Camp, it is understood .is
thoroughly familiar with conditions on
the border, and it is believed that 1t
was his suggestion that the case be
disposed of without further legal pro-
ceedingS.

BRYAN DECLARES HIMSELF
FOR UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE
Tells California Civic League That
Women Will Share Ballot
Rights With Men.

SAN FRANCISCO, July S.-William
j. Bryan. former Secretary of State,
declared himself in favor of universal
suffrage here yesterday, and told an
audience of women that he had not
espoused their cause sooner because
he had been busy with other subjects.
He added that he tried uually not to
take up questions until they were capa-
BILE of solution.
Il believe it is only a question of
time until women will share govern
mental burdens with men," he said.
Let me give you an argument for
those who question the morality and
intelligence of giving the ballot to
women. More than 80 per cent of the
inmates of the Nebraska penitentiarv
are men. You will find a majority of
the women in the churches. If women
are intelligent enough to keep out of
the penitentiary, and have enough
morality to go to church there Is no
question of their fitness for the bal
lot
Nj, Bryan spoke at the San Fran
cisco Center of the California Civic
League, an organization which orig
mated with the campaign of California
women to win the ballot.

BERLIN. July Z. via London.-The

called the attention of James w. Ger
ard, the American ambassador to Ger
many, to the advertisement of the
Cleveland Automatic Machine Company
in the American Machinist of May on
poisoned shells, pointing out that such
shells are a contravention of The
Hague convention.
The Department of Commerce an
nounced July that an investigation
had showed that the Cleveland concern,
which published the advertisement rela-
tive to the manufacture of poisonous
shells did not manufacture explosives
of any kind, but merely made ma
chimes capable of use in the production
of shells and ammunition. The depart
ment held that no intentional violation
Of neutrality was involved and that
the confusion was the result of unfor-
tunate wording of the advertisement.

Reports Famine Underrated.

Famine conditions in the states Of
Nuevo Leon and Tamaulipas are much
worse than heretofore represented, ac-
cording to dispatch received at Amer
lean Red Cross headquarters from
Stephen Ronsal, a war correspondent
and magazine contributor. who recently
went to Mexico to report on the situa-
tion throughout that country. The
message came via Tampico and by
wireless from that point. and is dated
July 2. 1t said, in part:
After six days journey of about 500
miles through northern Mexico. includ
ing large portions states Nuevo Leon,
Tamaulipas. am compelled to state that
famine conditions existing have been
understated rather than exaggerated
In districts visited where famine is not
ravaging today. there it is impending:
where land is not already famine
stricken, there starvation draws ever
nearer. Meager corn crop in sight will
not feed half people and amount of it
has been or will be taken by military
authorities, whose needs are only
slightly less pressing than those civil
ian population. Careful, intelligent
Red Cross distribution under Consul
General Hanna. which l witnessed
Monterey, has filled thousands of stom-
achs and saved hundreds lives. but in
less accessible regions this state, such
as territory for fifty miles around Soto
La Marina. thousands have eaten moth
ing but wild fruits for months past.
Hopeful view taken by some is to ef-
feet that prevailing famine conditions
are not due agricultural or economic
conditions, but caused by constant mill
itary operations and consequent inter-
ruption communication between the
more productive and more populous
sections country. If this view proves
well founded. hunger truce between the
factions might save the hundreds of
thousands of lives now menaced. If
hunger truce cannot be arranged, food
will have to be brought from outside.
Perfect agreement among all Mexicans
this section and hoping that American
authorities will find means stop crimi-
nal exploitation of foodstuffs from this
famine land while the country was
skinned of bulk its products months
ago. Some provisions are still trio

Gen. Carranza Assures Every Con
sideration to Foreigners on En-
tering Mexico City.

More reassuring advices from Mex
leo City served today to lessen some
what official apprehension over the
situation there.
Latest dispatches from the Mexican
capital. which came by courier, sew
eral days old, reported that food riots
had been checked and that conditions
generally had improved. 1t was add
ed, however, that the food situation
still was serious and that unrest ex-
listed.
Other information which created a
more hopeful feeling over the situa-
ton were Gen. Carranza's assur-
ances that every consideration would
be shown foreigners and other nom
combatants by his army which is in
vesting Mexico City, and reports that
steps to relieve MeXico's famine
stricken population were proceeding
as far as conditions would permit.
Measures for relief of non-combat-
ants in the republic We're continued
today as far as conditions permitted.
Consul General Hanna at Monterey re-
ported to the Red Cross that he was
feeding $4,000 persons from American
relief supplies. Officials of the Chinese
legation in Washington arranged with
Cross for the care of destitute Chinese
in Mexico. \ check for $4,000 was
rendered to defray expenses, but it will
not be accepted for the present.

In Washington, reiterated in state
ment last night, that in those sections
of Mexico over which Carranza had
control, there was no famine danger

The contention between the Red
Cross and officials of Villas agency
here over the attitude of Villas Of
fcers toward relief measures resulted
in a statement from the agency de-
claring the Villa forces had offered
every aid in their power to alleviate
suffering in war-disturbed districts
Miss Mabel Boardman of the Red
Cross asserted there had been lack of
cooperation by both Villa and Car
rama officers to forward supplies ex-
cept at such isolated places as Monte
rey and Monclova. She added that
where cooperation was not forthcom-
ing the Red Cross. for the time being,
could take no action.
