ESCAPE Of |TURB|DE
NOT RESULT OF BR|BE
Secretary Bryan Explains Origin of
Mexican Charges Against United
States Consul.

Eduardo Iturbide. former governor
of the federal district of Mexico, per-
sonally expressed his thanks last even
ing to Secretary Bryan for the efforts
of the United States government in
assisting him to leave Mexico.
Mr. Bryan later issued a statement
explaining some of the circumstances
of Iturbide's departure. 1t referred to
the statement issued by Gen. Palafox,
explaining what had been construed
as a charge by him that John r. Silli-
man and Leon Canova had accepted
bribes to aid Iturbide to escape, and
said:
1.-THE department is informed that on
the morning of January 13 President
Gutierrez gave Mr.. Silliman a person.
ally signed statement bearing on these
bribery charges. In this statement
erences to Mr.. Silliman's life and serv-
ices in Mexico, and expressed the be-
lief that there was no truth in these
charges of bribery.
Explanation Satisfactory.
The department understands that
both Mr.. Silliman and Mr.. Canova are
satisfied with the explanation contain
ed in the statement signed by Minis
ter Palafox-
There was no mystery at all about
partment learned from the Brazilian
minister that Iturbide's life was in
danger, he was asked to make urgent
representations in behalf of lturbide,
explaining to the government that
Iturbide had rendered important and
patriotic services at the time of trans
fer of authority from the Huerta
regime to the constitutionalists. He
was then governor of the capital dis
trict of Mexico City. and although he
and Carbajal did, he remained. and
not only delivered authority to the con-
stitutionalists. but aided materially in
preserving order as he previously did
at the time the United states forces
landed at Vera Cruz.
president Gutierrez arranged with
the Brazilian minister for the de-
parture of Iturbide, and Mr.. Canova
was asked to accompany him. 1t was
intended that representative of
President Gutierrez should also accom-
pany him, but by some misunderstand-
ing the representative Of the govern
ment did not go.
Origin of Bribery Charge.
after the departure of Iturbide and
Canova, complaint was made by some
of the generals. and then this charge
Of bribery was published, explained
now that it was based upon the as
sumption that no other motive would
explain what was done. We asked
that either proof be furnished us or
that the charges be withdrawn.
This statement Is made by the de-
partment in order that the public may
know that the action taken by Mr.
Silliman and Canova in assisting Itur-
bide was taken at the request of the

TIME LIMIT IS FIXED.
Applications for Funds From Cotton
Fund Must Be in by February /.

There will be no extension of the
time limit beyond February 1 for ap-
plications for loans from the one-hun-
dred and thirty y-fve-million dollar cot
ton fund. Applications made that day
will be the last considered. The fed
eral reserve board, as the central COM
mittee directing the fund. has declined
to comply with requests that the time
limit be extended
Bona fide applications to the COM
mittee which is administering the fund,
with headquarters in New York. amount
only to about $4,000. This is regarded
as indicating that only a few millions
of the fund subscribed will ever be
applied for. This prospect actuated the
federal reserve board in it's refusal to
extend the time limit, as not justifying
the tying up of the money of subscrib-
ing banks for a longer period.
