DENY EVACUAT|C1| OF MEXICO Cil' Cil'
No Change in Situation, Reports the Brazilian
 Minister
By Hop

Washington February 1s.-Eeports Of the evacuation of Mexico City by the Carranza forces were discredited late to-
 Gay when dispatch dated last night
 was received at the state department
 fl om the Brazilian minister there mak- ing no mention of change in the situ- ation.
 Earlier in the day officials recefved
 through border sources what was con
 sdered an authentic report that Gem
 eral Obregon had withdrawn and Mext
 ice City again had been occupied bq Zapata troops. Recent information has , indicated the capital was likely to chang . hands at any time.
 The advance of Villa troops to tlA
 west coast was described and the fact that they are now ,nenacing Mazatlan announced in long report on the fight ing in that region during the past four
 weeks was given out tonight by the state
 ds pertinent.
 Further information concerning the ex- ecuton of General Dozal, shot by the Mazatlan authorities January 2f, came to the department today. General Dozal who made friends among the Americans at Vera Cruz by his attitude at the time that port was occupied by the United States. was accused of surrepdering the city of Topic without cause. of using public money and of giving arms to the enemy. He denied all the charges, the report said,and claimed that his only offense had been refusal to force Mag
 atlan currency upon the people of Te- pee. Americans raised purse to bury the general and relieve his destitute widow and children

URGES PROBE OF
 EASTERN AFFAIRS
HObsOn Would Investigate Japan's Demands of
 China

Washington, February 1S.-tar eastern affairs were brought up again in the House late today by Representative Hob- son, who has resolutions pending which refer to the Japanese demands on China. Republican Leader Mann and Chair
 man Flood of the foreign affairs com
 mittee both protested that the subject should not he complicated and that Pres
 ident Wilson should be left with a free
 hand in dealing with the situation.
 ''At this time,'' said Representative
 Mann, it is absolutely necessary that
 the House and the people of the coun-
 try place their reliance in the Presi- dent of the United States.
 Tt would be serious thing for the Congress, without all of the informa- tion which is available to the President, to interfere in the foreign relations of the country.
 Woodrow Wilson is President. He was elected President by the people, We must trust him in these matters and we must not endeavor to annoy, hamper or in terfere with him. I believe he is anxious
 to preserve the rights of this country and to preserve peace l hope we will De able to protect our rights and to pre- serve peace. The only ,ang we can
 do under the circumstances is to have faith in the administration
 Representative Flood declared that 4 is no time for this country to }pry into i the troubles between China ana Japan | if there are any such troubles. | The same position was taken by Rep
 resentative Kent of California who as serted that we ought not attempt to establish and maintain Monroe doctrine 1 Tn the far east
 l Representative Hobson introduced to day another resolution declaring that tn, people of the United States would lool with disfavor upon any effort to chang,
 the status quo in China while European governments are distracted by war ana would view with grave concern, as al
 unfriendly act, any aggressive move bl
 a foreign government against the Chi
 nese integrity and sovereignty.

NO CHANGES TO BE
 MADE AT WIRE MILL
Schedule of Operation at Resumption
 Will Be Continued, Says Lutz in Statement

The very satisfactory operations at the Fairfield plant of the American Steel and Wire company will not be changed during the next few weeks, according to an official statement issued yesterday afternoon. The operations now arc on the same schedule as at the resumption two weeks ago. c. w. Lutz, general su- perintendent, yesterday stated that he had no plans for any greater opera tions than were now in force and noth- ing had developed which would suggest the opinion that any changes were inn minent.
 The operations at Fairfield will con- tinue as they arc at this time" said MT. Lutz .There will be no chang , Monday or at any time soon. We arc getting along in very good shape and while we are not doing all that the plant is capable of we are at least hold ing our own. The situation, in other words, is unchanged from that of the date of resumption

 The city of Birmingham has not made q bad trade in entering into the contract with R. NJ. Grant X Co.
 Furthermore, if there should ever ap- pear a temporary adverse feature to the trade by reason of Fluctuations in the money markets, the city of Birmingham would not repudiate or attempt to re- pudate this contract. or any other con tract which it has made in good faith T am yours most respectfully.
 GEORGE B, WARD,
 President" 'The letter from MT. Steiner was signed Steiner Bros, and a prompt reply was sent to them. Leo Steiner seems not to be keeping his senior partner posted
 Before the signing of the contract with R. NJ Grant x Co, referred to alove, MT. ]. M. Levine, the bond expert of Steiner Bros, called at my office and was informed that d years extension of the contract had been agreed on but not signed. He made no objection or protect to the contract being signed, but stated that he simply wanted to know what had been done about the matter. Was No New Contract "There was no new contract, hence no obligation on me to notify Steiner Bros It was simply an extension of the ex- isting contract with R. M. Grant & Co. MT Steiner is also wrong as to the
The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-02-19

Mobile and Montgomery propositions be- ing similar. The contract with R. NJ. Grant & Go. is good one The finan- cial condition of the country was such at the time Gust after the war broke out that the city was fortunate indeed in getting renewal at 51a per cent interest.
 "The best and last offer the city ever received from Steiner Bros. for similar bonds was 6 per cent interest. That was early in 1914 when no war was antici- pated. After advertisement and open bids the city was urged by brokers present to let the bonds go at 6 per cent. The city declined. R. NJ. Grant & Co. later took the bonds at 51a per cent. Steiner Bros have never offered to meet this bid.
 Is a Good Contract ''Eurthermore, based upon my exper- fence with other bond houses. I am con fident that contract with R. NJ Grant & Co. is fully as good for what it calls for as one with Steiner Brothers, and my opinion is not changed by reading MT. Steiners letter above, where he at tcmpts to get the city to repudiate it's solemn contract with R. M. Grant X Co. for no reason whatever, except to let him get in their place.
 Tn his concluding sentences MT. Stein CT makes a threat and predicts my po- litical death. So have done Dick Wray  and others.
 Mir. Steiner may be correct. My po- litcal fortunes are of no moment in this controversy. It is all matter of little importance to me or the people and Mir. Steiners wishes may reach fruition far sooner than he expects. It will come about on my initiative, however, and not his.
 But if I perform no other service for the people of Birmingham than 70 cx- pose those who wrecked the city's credit and plunged it into financial dfficuit1es, from which it has not yet emerged (and it seems the same thing is being at- ten ,pted again), I would welcome retire. ment to private life in the conscsousness . that l have at least done some serv- Ice. GEORGE B. WARD. Steiner Will Reply Leo K. Steiner said last night in ref erence to Mr. Wards statement that il would be answered soon but that they would not care to say anything about it urtil that time.
