MEMPHIS MAYOR
 MAKES DENIALS
 IN CUSTER SUIT
Says Officials Are Making Fight Against Liquor
 Business.

Memphis, Sept. 15.-Denying all the allegations in the custer bill filed against Mayor Crump, Commissioner Utley and Inspector Perry, by twelve relators, the defendants in the suit filed answer in the chancery court this morning, through their attorneys.
 Chancellors Heiskell and Fentress will hear motions September 27, as to whether the officials are to be busted temporarily. pending hearing of the case on it's merits, which will be some time in October.
 The defendants frankly deny ;that any persons can sell liquor in the city of Memphis with the knowledge and consent of the officials, and on the other hand allege that Inspector Perry, who was in charge of the sup pression of the liquor business in Memphis. did his duty to the best Of his ability, arrested many violators, and in many instances destroyed stocks of liquors of the violators and drove many of them out of Memphis entirely.
 Defendants in their answer do not claim that Inspector Perry has com rletely broken up bootlegging, but say that he has done as much to ac- complish this end as could be accom- plished by any one. illustrations are given in the answer, describing the many devices resorted to by vlolators, in order to cover their movements.
 Chancellor Fentress, before whom +he suit will he heard. returned to tho hench this morning from his va cation and announced he will hold the preliminary hearing on an order of suspe nsion. September 27. He will sit jointly with Chancellor Heiskell'

SUPREME COURT. WILL RECONVENE M0NDAY

Little Rock, Ark, Sept. 14.-The Arkansas supreme court will recon vene next Monday after'sa recess of more than two months. Several cases of state wide importance are on the calendar for disposition during the early part of the term, chief among which is the validity of Governor Hays veto affecting large number of approriations passed by the last legislature. It is claimed that the vetoes are void and of no effect be- cause the governor failed to issue a proclamation when he vstced the various items in the appropriation bill.
 The state constitution expressly provides that the governor must issue a proclamation when he vetoas any bill passed by the legislature, when that body is not in session. The bill was vetoed by the governor several days after the legislature adjourned sine die. 1e r@'

|u11.L VIEW MATTER
 AS UNFRIENDLY ACT
|p.etpfeller Interests, Called Upon by Noreau. Said to Have Shown Little
 encouragement, and Project May Fall Through.

New York, Sept. 15.-J. Pierpont
 Morgan today interviewed the aides
 3, the, Rockefeller millions in float
 ing the proposed billion dollar loan
 flo the allies. It is understood he re-
 ceiyed scant encouragement and in
 standard Oil circles tonight the belief
 was expressed that the Rockefellers
 will not participate in the loan.
 Such result would be a severe
 setback. and might even turn the tide
 against the project.
 MT. Morgan early in the afternoon went tc the office of John D. Rocke- 7 feer, where he remained in confer
 epce with the junior Rockefeller for {half an hour. No statement could be
 obtain, as to what passed between / them. Mr. Morgan's move to put the Rockefeller millions on the side of ] the allies was one of a series of sen
 sational developments in connection / with the proposed loan during the |day which indicated the approach of a crisis.
 More than 50 threatening lettters, | it was learned, have been received i by the anco-British commission to l negotiate theI loan and there has been Ia doubling of the guards who have
 accompanied them ever since their arrival in America. So serious has the situation become thei ths clsaring house has been abandoned by the commission as a meeting place on advice of the police. 1 The meeting place is now being kept
 secrst No two members of the com mission appear cn the street to- gether, and every member going out side his hotel has the protection of |th, detectives.
 In this connection there was a rumor tonight that the Canadian government might invite the commis- sion 10 transfer it's headquarters to 0ttowa. According to information which reached the International News ser vice tonight, moreover, Germany has already entered a protest against the lcan. with Secretary of State Lansing at Washington. MT. Lansing has been informed that Germany has made earnest efforts to msintain friendly relations with the
 United st'ates, but if this loan is iloated hera as a national loanfi the German government will find it diff iMicult M net to regard the act as a de- llberately unfriendly act of the people Of this country.
 Termination of diplomatic relations might even follow, the International News services informant declares.

State Department Say s Mexican Conditions Are
 Most Unsafe.
INDEPENDENCE DAY
 MAY MEAN OUTBREAK
In Washington. Opinion Is Held That Administration Wants Americans Out of Villas Reach, Before Rec
 Ognizing CarraDza.

Washington. S9pt. 13.-The state department has warned all Amer jeans in the border states of Mexico that ccmja;;:: i;0ii., arc unsafe, and that thev should return at once to the United states.
 Tho warning was sent on Monday. Grave fear is felt that during the celebration of the Mexican Fourth or July, which begins tomorrow ana will continue for two days, orgahlZea attempts will be made to infllct ln- jury upon American citizens.
 This fear exists only with regard to the territory Gen. Villa claims to control This was impressed on ahe department, when Villa publicly stated few days ago that he was not responsible for the kidnapping or an American in his territory, and ex- plained that he could not control all the bands that were operating as ban dits and guerrllas.
 AIT American consuls in Chihuahua end other states south as Tar as TOT rpon were instructed tO send Amer jeans across the border at once Ihe notice of the United States was re- sarded in official circles today as significant. The construction gener- ally placed on it here is, that the ad- minjstration, fcreseeing the necessity of recognizing the government oi Carranza, desires to have Americans out of reach of the wrath Of Vllla' hen this action is taken.
 Secretary Lansing announced today that the pan-American conference will meet at New York Saturday
 afternoon. There is no longer any
 doubt that at this meeting a commls- sion will be appointed to confer with
 Carranza's representative. It is now expected that Louis Cantelleza
 Roberto Pezqueira, and Jose Arredon- do. representing Carranza, will go to
 New Ycrk and seek the opportunity of submitting tn? Carranza side ol
 the case before this conference. It is understood also that the Vllla agency will send a commtsSlon to protest against the claims put forth by~ Carranza, in his reply to, the con f. renee, in .which he claims to be,lH control of practically all of Mexico and to show that if he is sincere III his desires of bringing about peace
 he should join the peace conference
 originally suggested by the pan American conference.
 At il o'clock tonight the flag ol
 Mexico was raised on the mast of the Mexican embassy, now occupied pS the Carranza agency. The hoisting o the emblem was in celebration O.
 the 1O5th anniversary of Mexican ln' dependence.

Won Hindenberg Using Mil lion Men in His Efforts
 Against Riga.
RUSSIANS SCORE
 AT OTHER POINTS
Cars Men Are Said to Be AggressOrs on Every Point in East Front Ex- cept in Center and in the Region
 of Riga in the North.

London. Sept. 16-The most furious fighting of the war is being waged in the Baltic provinces of Russia, ac- cording to all news reaching here, and the result of the gigantic series of battles, which might be said to make one huge and almost contin- ued engagement. still in doubt.
 With forces estimated at more than million msn, von Hindenberg, the German military genius, is exerting every effort to take Wilma and Riga, and gain control of the Dvina river and the Petrograd railroad.
 The latest official advices from Ber- lin state that von Hindenberg, with great masses of troops is attacking the bridge head positions before Vil- ma. A crossing of the river here would enable him to occupy Dvinsk and certainly seal the fate of Riga. The Russians, however, with great stores of ammunition are battling desperately against the German num- bers and the German heavy guns, and Petrograd expresses confiedence that the Russians will be able to maintain their position.
 Further along the river at Jacob stadt, Friedrichstadt and Linden, the Germans are fighting furiously to ef- feet passage, but no progress is reported.
 The general situation in the east, in the minds of military critics, bears out an official statement bsfore the house of lords today that the Ger man offensive has been stopped and has lost a great portion of the mo- mentum that carried the Germans in- to Russia Not only in the north but also in the south and west are the Russians in many cases the aggres- sors. According to advices reaching here. along the Colhymia and along the Bessarabian frontier the Germans are being kept busy beating Russian attacks. In this r,gion the Russians have taken 4o,O00 prisoners the past two weeks.
 Only in the center do the. Germans appear to be making progress. On an average they are reported to- be only B miles from the Wilma, railway, theil objective.

Secretary for War Summar izes Condition to House
 of Lords.
PLANS OF KAISER
 FAILURE IN RUSSIA
At Enormous Sacrifice. He Says. Ger mans Have Only Captured Several FOrtresseS, Russian Arm. Stil!
 Remaining Intact.

London, Sept. 15.-"Thc German army appears almost to have shot their bolt" said Earl Kitchener. sec retary for war, summarizing the mill tary situation, in the house of lords today.
 Lord Kitchener intimated he favor ed conscription and that tha matter is now being considered by the gov ernment.
 There has been recent falling off in recruiting" he said. "The ques- tion of obtaining the additional mum bers of men required is engaging the l hope the matter will receive practical solution"
 Reports recently current in tha United States to the effect that the miles of the western front are shown, by Lord Kitchener's speech, to b. greatly exaggerated. The exact amount of additional front taken over by the British is 17 miles, making q total of about 90 miles they now protect.
 During recent months," he said, "the front held by the allies in tho west has been practically unchanged. | Our positions have been strengthened 1 by large increase in the number of heavy guns. Considerable reinforce mt nts, amounting in all to II divi- | sions-about 22O,O0O meen-have been | sent to France. The British front has been extended by an additional 17 miles,"
 Lord Kitchener called attention to the fact that recent German attacks with asphyxiating guns and liquid fire have been fruitless, adequate measures having been adopted to con- trOl them.
 Around Arras and in Alsace, he said, important positions have been captured and held by the allies.
 "The Russian army is still intact. All the Germans can claim in the east is that at enormous sacrifice they have captured certain Actresses. Their army appears almost to have shot their bolt. Their advance in Russia, which at one tima averaged five miles a day, now has diminished to less than one mile day.
 "The German objective was to de- stroy the Russian army and set free the German troops, for service else where. As has been the case with many other plans of the Germans, there has been signal failure to car ry out their original intention. "The Italian army now occupis 1 practical positions of primary im- portance. The French were promi- nent in the operations on the Galli- poli peninsula. The fighting there has recently been comparatively qui- ct, as the soldiers were getting a needed rest" @4ttH
 There was evidence, he said, that the Germans, who were really in charge on, the peninsula, were ,becom- ing demoralized. ,.ss a.
 Some new armies are in the field,' he continued. "and others are follow ing. The response of this country has been little short, of marvellous. The new national registration act will still give the government possession of important measures, and enable l us to determine the numbers of men available for army service after fill ing the quota available for initial workers.
 q am sure the people will cheer fully bear the sacrifices necessary to bring the war to successful con clusion." .etaa
