Activities of German Agents
in United States Closely
Approach Violations
OF AMERICAN
NEUTRALITY LAWS
The Disclosures Are Not All
New to Our Gov
eminent

Washington, Aug. l7.--Officials Of tn,
| Wilson administration are watched
with keen interest disclosures relating
to the activities of German diplomatic
and secret service agents in the United
States. 1t was admitted in an officia
quarter yesterday that there was al
least a possibility that the government
might be forced to take steps to termi'
nate certain operations that closely ap.
proach violations of the American laws
of neutrality committed by representa-.
tiyes of Germany in this country.
The department of justice is now con.
Quoting an extensive inquiry into charg-
es brought against German diplomats OF
prominence To a certain extent the
state department is cooperating in the
inquiry. The indications are that the
matter will shortly be brought to a
head with the possibility that Germany
may be asked to recall some of her
agents whose activities have been
strongly brought to public notice. At
least three officers of the German en-
bassy are under fire.
Authorities OF the administration say,
however, that it is premature as well
as unfair to circulate reports that the
government already has decided to rid
the country of German officials who ad-
mittingly have gone far afield from the
diplomatic service they usually perform.
Disclosure Not Entirely New.
The disclosure made within the past
few days bearing on alleged acts in yio-
lation OF the laws of neutrality by Ger
man officials are not entirely new so far
as the department of justice and the
state department are concerned. For
months information has been pouring
in on these departments to the effect
that the Germans were conducting an
extensive literary campaign in an effort
TO present the side of Germany to the
American people in a more favorable
light, and that German agents had been
active in other ways.
The administration has kept track of
-hese developments, but for reasons of
policy has refrained from taking ac-

curse owing TO the gravity of the re-
atoms between the United States and |
Germany. The president felt that ii

FL Paso, Aug. ia forced loan o

the James Birmingham Soap company'i
factory, Mexican corporation at Gomez
| Palacio, has been lifted, it became know
here yesterday.
Abandonment of the plan to collect
| the loan from the concern followed con.
ferences between the northern leader and
Major General Hugh l.. Scott, chief OF
staff of the United States army.
The Gomez Palacio factory enjoyed a
practical monopoly in the purchase Of
cotton seed at a fixed price, and the sale
Of its product under the Diaz regime.
Formerly much of the stock of the
company is said to have been held by
members of the so-called Cientifico party
in the form of bearer" stock certif.
Gates. Suspecting that the certificates
in this form served to conceal the iden-
tity OF the members Of the "Cientifcios'
who were deriving revenue from proper
ty in his territory, Villa is said to have
exacted loans amounting to more than a
quarter of million dollars.
When his last demand was refused,
the plant was confiscated.
General Scott is said to have convinced
Villa that the stock is now heldsexclu-
siyely by American and British invest
ors.
Future movements of General Scott
were uncertain yesterday, pending the
receipt of further instructions from
Washington
The acceptance by General Vincente
Segura, Villas military governor of the
state of Hidalgo, of the Pan-American
plan for the holding of peace confer
ence of Mexican leaders, has been an
by Villa officials here. He is
reported ready to send delegates to such
! conference.
General Segura was formerly bull
fighter and once possessed a fortune of
more than million dollars, it is said.
He joined the revolt against General
Huerta and much of his property was
alter confscated.

Thirty Millions
Left to Heirs
Of Vanderbilt

New York, June 3.-The will of
Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt who was
drowned in the sinking Of the Lusi-
tania, has been led in the surrogate's
Office. The total value Of the estate
is estimated at $30,000,000.
Generous provision is made for the
widow, Mrs. Margaret Emerson Van
derbilt, whom he married in London
in December, 1911. First she rec
ceives 100000 in compliance with
the ante nuptial agreement, then an
added 100000; also the leone of
special trust fund of $4,000, 900.
She also receives the houseboat Ven.

After donating the 100000 given
outright to Mrs. Margaret Emerson
Vanderbilt the trust fund of $5,0O0,-
900 left to her and $l,650,O00 given
in other requests to his brother, Reg
inald, and others, the residue of the
estate, about s15,0O0,O00, is given to
his sons by Mrs. Margaret Emerson
Vanderbilt.
These are Alfred Gwynne, born in

in trust until the boys are Fl years
old when they receive one quarter
of 1t; then another quarter at the age

LOCKWOOD DECREE IS
HELD Up FOR A TINE
Until Briefs are Filed, Suit to Settle

Will be Delayed

Failure thus far of attorneys to
file briefs is all that has delayed
Judge Lockwood of Cochlse county
in deciding the most important ir-
rigation lawsuit in Arizona since the
famous Kent decree was handed
down. Involving over $4,000 acres
of land, this suit, which has over
four hundred parties, will fix the
priority of water rights of every
user in the Florence and Casa
Grande region.
Judge Lockwood of Cochise county
is handling this case, because Judge
Baughn of Pinal, where the case
originated is MISUNDERSTANDING q
land owner in that section.
The Lockwood decree is being
looked for with great deal Of in
