But when the recent acquisition OF
Barry and Pennock by Boston. and
Of Murphy and Leibold by Chicago

CARRANzA CONDEMNS
Interference FROM
AMERICANS REPUBLICS

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE warn.
ing of Carranza on interference in
Mexico was sent to Secretary Lansing
in the form of letter from Elisso Ar.
rendendo, confidential agent of Car
ranza. Carranza and the persons who
cooperate with him are of the convic.
ton that If the American government
would know the true situation in Mex.
leo it would understand that the only
possible solution would be to leave the
revolution to follow its natural course
until the complete victory Of the
party.
1.-The Constitutional government
represented by Mr.. Carranza abstains
from any comment on the conferences
that are being held because it has no
knowledge of their character and the
conclusions that have been reached,
and that 1t does not want to give the
impression that they are tacitly as.
-sented to by it, but 1t considers It its
duty to inform the American govern
nent of the displeasure with which
the Mexicans would receive any act
which would tend to frustrate the sue
cess against the reactionary faction
by the Constitutionalist representing
the hopes and ideals of the people"
The Carranza agent added that sim.
liar letters had been sent to the Latin
Americans participating in the New
York conference,

BANK TELLER ADMITS
TAKING $20,07o OF
CEDAR RAPIDS BANK

CEDAR RAPIDS, a., Aug. 11-Leo
L. Perrin, paying teller in the Cedar
Rapids National bank which was rob.
bed Of $2O,O7O on August 4, confessed
today that his story of an armed
bandit entering the vault and forcing
him to open it was a fabrication, and
that he. himself, committed the theft.
Ten thousand Of the amount stolen
has been returned to the bank by him,
$4,000 of the amount having been
hidden in building near his home.
The remaining $1,070 has been used
by Perrin in settling portion of the
debt he had contracted through real
estate and mining speculation.
Perrin had purchased land in Min
nesota and the Isle Of Pines and stock
in various mines in Colorado and Mex
leo. His total debt amounted to
$21,50O. The interest on his holdings
amounted to $1,000, and his total in
come was less than $41,500 a year.
On the morning Of August 4 Perrin
was found locked in. the vault Of the
bank by another employe. Perrin
claimed bandit placed $2O,070 in his
pocket and ran out of the building.
Twelve detectives have been at work
on the case.

WESTERN ROADS
LOSE ADVANCE
RATE PETITION
Interstate Commerce Commits
sion Defeats Hundred Mil,
lion Dollar Additional Tolls
Wanted by Roads.

WASHINGTON, Aug. II. - The
farmer and packing interests today
won big victory over the railroads
The interstate commerce commission
banded down it's decision in the west
ern rate advance case and granted
but few Of the railroads proposed
Increases. The proposed advances in
grain, grain products, live stock and
packing house products-the biggest
on the list, were denied.
The western advance rate case
the second big railroad rate case OF
the year involving additional revenues
for the carriers estimated at from ten
to one hundred million dollars an.
nually came into being when the roads
operating between the Mississippi
river, the Rocky mountains, the Gull
Of Mexico and the Canadian boundary
last fall Aled tariffs with the inter.
state commerce commission, naming
increased transportation charges.
These increases ranged from 2 or
per cent on some commodities to as
much as 10 per cent on others.
The principal items on which the
increases were proposed include live
stock, grain and grain products, pack
ing house products and brewers rice.
All of these commodities move in
great quantities-not only in carload,
but in trainload lots. Thus an in
crease of approximately / cent per
pounds asked on grain and
grain products would run into large
sums in a year.

The proposition presented to the
American Foundry and Machine com
pany, Of Hamilton. O., by Finley
Mount, receiver for the M. Rumely
company, for the sale or lease Of the
foundry building and engine room OF
the local Gaar-Scott plant. will prob

authority today.
Five members of the foundry con
Germ were in the city yesterday max
ing a final inspection Of the plant and
engine room and they seemed to be
favorably impressed with the posi-
bilities offered by the local plant. The
party included Messrs. Jacobs and
Dudley, two of the officers of the
American Foundry and Machine com
pany and also the foreman of the
present plant at Hamilton.
1t is understood that the terms pre-.
sented to the Hamilton firm by Re.
ceiver Mount, which were received
most favorably by the company at the
present time, we're as follows: The
company to lease the foundry and en-

sixty days notice to vacate in case an
opportunity affords itself to sell the
entire local property. 1t is also under
stood that the Hamilton firm would
be given an option on the property to
buy providing the property is not dis
posed of in its entirety.
The foundry would employ about
100 men. The officials of the company
said yesterday that local labor would
be given first opportunity providing
the foundry is opened.
The special committee of the Com
mercial club which is cooperating
with Receiver Mount in the disposi-
ton of the property, believes that the
Hamilton officials were so impressed
with the proposition yesterday that
there is little doubt but that they
will decide to accept the terms.
The company has a foundry in
Hamilton employing about $50 men
and it is understood that conditions
there prevent further expansion The
foundry specializes in the castings of
lathe beds. The company also manu-
factures a line OF stoves and ornamen-
tai brio brac. 1t has been located in
Hamilton for sixteen years.
Secretary Haas Of the Commercial
club believes that q definite answer
will be made by company officials
within the next week.
