.OBREC0N IS STILL
At CITY OF MEXICO
REPORTS CONFLICT BUT LATEST
ONES INDICATE CAPITAL is
YET OCCUPIED.

Washington, D. c., March 10.-De.
velopments in the Mexican situation
today were awaiting General Carran-
za's answer to the American note de.
manding an improvement of condi.
tions in Mexico City. There were in
dications that the reply would be ia.
vorable.
Conflicting dispatches as to the
evacuation Of Mexico City during the
last twenty-four hours caused much
doubt. A dispatch from Vera Cruz
yesterday at 10 a. m. indicated that
General Obregon was still In control.
The Villa agency has dispatches from
Juarez saying Obregon's troops evacu.
ated yesterday and were replaced by
Zapata troops.
Plot 10 Alleged.
Vera Cruz, March 10.--A declaration
that General Obregon had acted in
good faith in his efforts to relieve the
sufferings Of the poor in Mexico City
and a denial of charges that he had
prevented the distribution Of food sup
plies or otherwise acted in way cal.
culated to complicate the situation, is
the substance Of statement prepared
by Alberto j. Pani, head of the Nation
al railways, for Charles A. Douglass
General Carranza's Washington at.
torney, who is now here. 1t is under
derstood that this statement will be
included in one which is to be deliv.
cred to the state department at Wash
ington.
Pani stated that General Obregon
was idolized by the poor of Mexico
City and that conditions there which
have aroused protests were due, not
to him. but to the persistent and
adroit opposition of wealthy residents,
instituted with the object Of bringing
Obregon and the constitutionalist
cause into disrepute.
PopuIace Starving.
Washington, D. c., March 10.-The
Mexican Red Cross today appealed to
the American Red Cross through Sec.
retary Bryan for food for the starv.
ing populace in Mexico City. The ap'
peal said the famine In the Mexican
capital was rapidly growing worse
Secretary Bryan said the state de.
partment would cooperate with the
Red Cross as far as possible.

GERMAN SHIP FLEES INTO PORT
IN ], S, To ESCAPE HER PURSUERS
Cruiser Able to
Escape the laps

The auxiliary cruiser Prinz
Eitel Friedrich started out on
her career as a warship from
Tsing-Tau. She formerly was
regular liner of the North Ger
man-Lloyd. She reached Tsing-
Tau shortly after the outbreak
of hostilities, and the German
marine authorities at that port
equipped her with naval guns
and turned her into an auxiliary
cruiser.
She sailed from Tsing-Tau be-
fore the Japanese attacked that
port, and early in November she
was reported off the western
coast of South America, where
for several months she has been
active in the pursuit of British
and French shipping. One of
her exploits was the sinking
early in December of the Brit
ish steamer Charcas off Chile.
Japanese cruisers have been
described as searching for this
German vessel persistently but
they never could find her.
The records do not show
when she entered the South At
lantic. Had she come through
the Straits of Magellan the pre-
vailing censorship might have
prevented news of her move
ments becoming known. Desir-
ing to avoid the straits, she
could have come around Cape
Horn.

FALLS tn DEATH
IN SMOKE HOUSE
P. H. Doherty Fatally Hurt
at the Packing Plant;
Drops Twenty Feet
WALKS INTO SPACE
ON SIXTH FLOOR
Is Found Unconscious Two
Stories Below; Dies
at the Hospital

Patrick H. Doherty, foreman OF the
sausage department at the Morrell
packing plant, fell to his death In the
smoke house Tuesday afternoon about
1870 and died at the Ottumwa hospital
about 4:45 p. M, without regaining
consciousness. The remains were TAX
en- to his former home in Kansas City
this morning over the Milwaukee about
II o'clock.
Trouble With Ventilators.
The management Of the plant con-
Quoted an investigation Immediately
after the accident was discovered and
the body of the injured man removed
from the smoke house. Manager T.
Henry Foster states that insofar as the
company has been able to learn, Mr..
Doherty had found that the smoke
house did not draw properly and was
investigating the cause. He appar-
emily thought the trouble was with the
ventilators and had gone to the top or
the smoke house on the sixth floor to
make an examination. The door by
which he entered the smoke house ID
one that is rarely used as there is no
meat hung in the building at this land
ing and no floor there. Whether he
was unable to see the interior when
opening the door, or was over
come with the smoke, for there was q
fire in the smoke house at the time,
will never be known, because when
picked up Mr.. Doherty was uncon-
scious and never revived.
The foreman and his assistant IN =
discussion of the cause of the failure
Of the smoke house to draw as It
should, disputed the character OF the
building on the upper floors The fore
man held that there We're floors or
gratings on the upper floors which in.a
terfered with the draft Of the hre.
The assistant states that he said there
We're no distractions above the fourth
floor and to decide the matter, Mr.. Do
herty went up to the sixth floor to-
examine the building and satisfy him
self.
Falls Twenty Feet.
The distance he fell is said to b0s
about twenty feet and apparently he
alighted on his head for large wound
was made over his right eye. The eye
itself and top of head were bruised.
The base of the brain was injured and
an internal hemorrhage followed.
The injured man was in the smoke
houes only few minutes before the
accident was discovered. The elevator
man reports bringing him to the sixth
floor on the elevator and said that not
more than five minutes elapsed be-
tween the time of his getting off the
elevator on floor six and his being
taken out of the smoke house on the
fourth floor.
Mr.. Doherty has been employed By
the Morrell firm for about six months
and has had charge Of the sausage De-
partment The door by which he enter
ed the smoke house had neSer been en-;
tered by the deceased before.
Patrick Henry Doherty was born
November 4, 1881 and is survived by
his wife and baby son. He made his
home at the Henry Glew residence
-33 South Iowa Avenue.
Mrs. G. B. Huyck accompanied Mrs.
Doherty and little son to Kansas City,
with the remains this morning.

Geneva, March 1o.-The Tribune

that several Italian Warships have
put to sea, probably bound for the
DardaneIles.
Berne, March 10.-A new Zeppe-
lin which is now being given trials
over Lake Constance will be the
ninth to leave Friedrichshafen
since the war began.
Paris, March 1O-Operations Of
the allied fleet in the DardanelIes
stopped yesterday morning by un-
favorable weather conditions were
resumed vigorously in the after
noon, says an Athens dispatch to
the Matin. The warships are re-
ported to have made additional
progress In the narrows, silencing
Turkish batteries on the heights Of
Renkui, the fire from which had
proved troublesome to the fleet in
its maneuvers.
London, March 10.-As England sees
it, not since the war began has the sit.
uation both on land and sea been more
favorable to the allies than it is today
Confident opinions of this nature are
finding constant expression in London
Slowly but surely, it is argued, the al
lied fleet is creeping toward Constant
inople and thus opening another road
to Berlin; the retirement of Field Mar
shal Won Hindenburgs army from
North Poland is said to be imminent by
many British observers of affairs; In
the west the allies claim the ascend
ar1cy all along the line, although nc
decisive engagements are being fought
while in the Balkans and in Italy, &C
cording to British Interpretation of the
political news from these countries
the majority is clamoring for interven
tion on the side of Great Britain
France and Russia. This is said to be
notably true in Greece and Rumania
In spite Of the fact that the govern
ments of these countries still cling out
wardly to the policy of neutrality.
The crisis in Greece seems temper
arily to have been bridged with the
formation of new cabinet, but wheth
er the new premier can control the
chamber of deputies is causing much
speculation here.
Though officially denied. reports IN
sist that ministerial crisis has arisen
in Bulgaria where the premier, favor

Paris, March 10.-Oficial statement:
North of of Arras, in the region of
Notre Dame De Lorette, the night was
quiet and the situation is unchanged.
'The Importance Of our progress
yesterday in Champagne is confirmed
A violent German counter attack made
on Ridge 1856 was vigorously repulsed
and we gained little ground along
the road from Perthes to Tahure. On
the hill northeast of Mesnil our in
fantry, after having carried the Ger
man works mentioned in the last
communication, reached a hill be-
yond.
"In the Argonne, at Fontaine Mad.
ame, We demolished blockhouse and
pushed our trenches 80 meters for
ward. Between Four De Paris and
Bollante the enemy, attacking at p.
M, took from us trenches we had cap
tured in the morning. However, a
fresh attack gave us possession Of
them once more. The enemy then at
tackled again and according to the lat

tinues."
German Statement.
Berlin, March 1O-Official statement:
"The military activity has been re-
stricted generally by snow and cold
weather, and in the Vosges it had to be
almost entirely discontinued. Only in
the Champagne region has the fighting
continued. At Souain, after protracted
fighting at close quarters, the Bavarian
troops were victorious.
ITO the northeast of LIE Mesnil the
enemy at certain points temporarily
penetrated our lines. After a deter
mined night engagements with the
French reserves which had been hur-
ried up in support and which were pre-
vented from attacking by our counter
attacks, we finally dislodged the enemy
from his positions.
"a renewed attempt on the part Of
the Russians to advance on Augustowo
resulted in failure. The fighting to the
northwest of Ostrolenko continues.
The fighting to the northwest and to
west of Przasnysz is assuming an as
pect favorable to us, and our attack to
northwest of Nowamiasto is progress.
