.wCARRANZA'S AGENT
OROZCO TAKEN HERE
Accused Of COnspiring to Take
Army From Texas Into
Mexico.
ABSURD. SAYS PRISONER

Jorge orozco. a Carranza agent. was
arrested yesterday by Department OF
Justice Agents Scully and Adams ar
the office Of the Mexican Consul-Generaf
in the Equitable Building. He was
taken before United states Commits
sloner Houghton on a charge OF CON
spring to organize and equip an eH-
peditionary force in Texas and send 1t
across the border into Mexico to re-
enforce the Constitutionalist army, In
violation of the neutrality laws Of the
United states.
The Indictment charged tina, the con
spiracy was conceived and put In opera
ton IN October. 1914. .Onc of the acts
set forth in proof Of the alleged con-
spiracy In that Orozco. then Mexican
Consul at III paso. purchased a great
quantity of arms, ammunition and other
materials of war from Fred j. Feldman
81 Co., and caused them to he shipped
to Tandy Sanford at Hermanez, y. NJ,
who. In turn, was to ship them across
the border.
After furnishing n bond of 5000

purchase materials for the Constitu-
tionalist government. He said that
materials did not necessarily lnclude
munitions Of war.
"Of course. ! purchased and shipped
munitions at the time set forth in he
Indictment" he said. 81 must have
bought and shipped about $4,000 worth
in three months. But why shouldn't

ment OF munitions at-thc time.
AS to the %cuuipping and raising Of
an expeditionary forg, however. such
n chargc Is absurd" Federal agents
tracked Orozco across the continent
from Los Angeles before arresting him

Mr.. Perkins continued:
There has been a perfectly u~nbroken,
consistent method Of procedure on the
part Of the Republican organization OF
this state under the management OF Mr.
Barnes. There has been no haphazard,
chance, hit and miss programme ABOUT
II. II has been persistent and insistent
IN one answering direction since the
DAYS of Roosevelt and Hughes.

II il possible by the Progressives and
Independent voters returning to the Re-
publican party to work any change from
within liz to expect a miracle TO be per-
formed. and miracles are not usually
performed within the households OF such
people as are to-day In possession or
the Republican party OF the State of
New York.
II know OF but two way by which
Mr.. Barnes can be separated from this
office before the great political struggle
OF 1916 takes place. One of these ways
will he for him to resign. Does any
man in this State believe for one moment
that he will resign this important or
flee with all the power that goes with
II in connection with next years political
events? Second. for the present Legis-
lsture to legislate Mr., Barnes out OF
Office next winter, granted that 1t mas
the power. Does any man believe tina
WIZ
thing OF the kind?
We are told that there Is a third way
viz, for the PTogressives to return
90 the Republican party in this state
and then call on Mr.. Barnes and demand
his resignation. II laughter produces

that would more effectually promote Mr.
Barnes's digestion than such a pro

The writer made careful inquiry into
the early history of Carothers, n here
it is for what it's worth.
His father was for many years a well
known physician, surgeon and druggist
at Saltillo. Mexico. a city Of about $4,000
inhabitants. 234 miles south Of the Dor
der town of Laredo. The Carothers fam
lily originally came from San Antonio
Tex, and there were several boys. OF
whom George was the least promising In
business. He showed a wonderful apti.
tude for the Spanish language and from
boyhood seemed to prefer the society oil
Mexicans to that Of Americans.
Carothers was appointed American

Carothers's unpopularity with some Of

rests on a happening that occurred wher
