Huerta, Deposed President Of Mexico,
Asserts He Never Gave Japan
Rights of Concessions on the Coast
Of Lower California
By Associated Press.

Washington, April 17.-The United
States government to-day awaited Of
fetal advices as to whether or not
Japan had established naval base at
Turtle Bay, Lower California, as has
been reported. Although officials are
not inclined to place any credence in
the reports they have sought to ascer-
tain through American consuls and the
Pacific feet exactly what use the Jap
anese and British vessels were making
of Mexican territorial waters. Of
icials are certain that there is no
foundation for the reports because of
the fact that the British colliers were
assisting Japanese warships.
Admiral Howard, commanding the
Pacific feet off the west coast of Mex
leo reported to the Navy Department
to-day that he had ordered Commander
Noble Z. Irwin, of the cruiser New
Orleans, to proceed at once to Turtle
Bay, Lower California, and report on
the activities of Japanese naval forces
there. The New Orleans was due to
reach Turtle Bay to-day and Com
mander Irwin is expected to report the
result of his inquiry by wireless.
Secretary Daniels had telegraphed
Admiral Howard summary of the re-
ports alleging that while the osten-
sible purpose of japanese activities in
Turtle Bay is to salvage the grounded
cruiser Asama, the real object of the
operations is to occupy the bay and
adjoining shores as base of opera
tions.

After several stubborn engagements

the district of the Choruk river it is
reported that after an unsuccessful de-
fense of Khopa, the Turks retreated
beyond Archava, where they have re
occupied fortified heights from which
they are making sorties. There is said
to be growing hostility between the
Turks and the Kurds, the former de-
precating the inhumanity of the latter.

Harry Nellingan, 634 Reilly street,

scription from a Harrisburg physician

rescued him. He was taken to the Har-
risburg hospital in the police ambu-
lance. There it was said that his con-
dition was serious, but he had chance
to recover.
While on his way to the hospital he
told the policemen that he had been
used to taking large amount of

late WAR news SUMMARY

From such scattering reports as are
permitted from the eastern front it is
becoming gradually apparent that the
greatest battle Of the war, at least so
far as concerns the number of men en-
gagged, is being fought in the Carpa-
thians, along the 115-mile front from
Bartfeld, in Northern Hungary, to
Stry, in Eastern Galicia- This line
roughly parallels the boundary between
Hungary and Galicia, running through
difficult mountain region, through
which the Russians hope to break
way into the heart of Hungary.
German war correspondents style this
battle the greatest In the history Of the
world and It is estimated that $780,
900 men are taking part. According
to the German reports, the Russian ad-
vance, which week ago seemed to be
threatening the integrity Of Hungary,
has now been checked definitely. It Is
said that the Russian losses in killed,
wounded, sick and prisoners are 5OO,-
900.
Russian reports throw little light on

At Fifth and Mahantongo Streets

Action

The Harrisburg Board Of School Di-
reetors last night voted to buy plot
of ground across Reel street from the
site of the proposed Tenth ward school
from the Harrisburg Realty Company
at $8,66S.75, a reduction of FIVE per
cent. from the price Originally asked
for the ground by the company.
At the last meeting of the board,
Director Werner introduced resolu-
tion asking for the purchase of this
plot of ground for $1,000. The Realty
company asked originally $9,125 and
the matter was placed in the hands of
the building committee. This commit
tee reached no conclusion at session
before the board meeting last evening
and the committee was discharged
from further consideration of the mat
ter at the board meeting.
Several realty experts and west end
business men wrote to the board, say
ing the plot was worth $4,000. Ed
ward Moeslein, former director, ap.
peared before the committee support
ing Mr.. Werner in his contention. The
doors were closed while the board
voted on the question. Messrs. Boyer,
Bretz, Boil, Kennedy and Saul voted
to purchase the plot for sS,66S.75.
Directors Werner, Yates and Houtz
were opposed.

thorized to sell $4,000 worth of

this enlarged plot at Fifth and Ma
hantongo streets and G. Howard Lloyd
was made supervising architect with
remuneration of five per cent. of the
cost of the building. Mr., Lloyd won

CapitolS lStirredby Story
That Sleuths Are at
Work in Legislative
Halls
GOSSIP VARIES
AS TO PURPOSE
Opinion Is Divided as to Whether De-
tectives Are Here to Shadow
Friends or Foes of Local Option
Bill

Under whose auspices, and by whose
directions have Burns detectives been
in Harrisburg for several weeks7 And
why do they haunt the capitolf
These are questions that were fire.
quently asked on Capitol Hill to-day.
That Burns detectives have been lurk.
ing about legislative halls for some
time has been rumor that was light
ly dismissed by those who discussed il
at all. 1t is asserted beyond doubt
however, that they have been here, but
nobody seems to know their mission OF
who employs them.
Gossip says, on the one hand, that
they have been employed by friends
of the local option bill to learn whether
any insidious means are or have been
employed to obtain votes against that
measure, and that they have been de-
voting their time to shadowing legis-
lators who are non -committal, with a
view to ascertaining what means are
being used to draw them to the side of
local option opponents.
On the other hand it is asserted
that the sleuths are here to work for
the opponents of the local option bill,
the idea being to ascertain why men
pledged to local option propose to
change their minds and now favor the
measure.
Both the friends and the enemies of
local option are charged with being re-
sponsible for the appearance of the de.
tectives, but both the leaders of both
factions profess to be entirely ignorant
of the presence of the sleuths.
1t was said last night that at least
six of the best of the Burns detectives
have been in Harrisburg for weeks and
that their presence here was learned
of by an old detective who is acquaint-
ed with the men personally, but not in
any way connected with them. They
are said to have kept much to them
selves during the recesses taken by the
but to be always on hand
when the sessions are on.
