The Chieftain Gives Further Evil

With villistas.

WASHINGTON, July 1b.-While
in the past government officials have
had reason to doubt General Carran-
zas ability for even temporary con-
troll in Mexico City, they admitted
today that they have been agree
ably surprised by the progress he
has made since taking Mexico City.
He has not only shown q disposition
to restore order, but has given signs
of ability to do so, ii was said.
All accounts from Mexico
strengthen the conviction that Car
rama will gain recognition by the
administration Further trouble
with the villa-Zapata element is
deemed inevitable, but this, 1t was
said. will not be grounds for with
holding recognition from Carranza
Such difficulties, II is believed.
could be speedily stopped by al
lowing Carranza to have all the
arms and ammunition he desires
while at the same time prohibiting
exports to his enemies.

along the great boulevards between
rows of hundreds of thousands OF
bareheaded people. Only the sob
bing of women broke the impressive
silence which signified best of all
that new France is emerging from
the world war.
President Poncaire and other high

In addition to the Indictment

secured divorce before his marriage

port to Judge Hawkins said they
had been in session twenty-one
days, had examined 341 witnesses
and found 81 true bills. 81 of which
were felonies and 80 misdemeanors.

SAYS HATTERs ARE WRONG.
n. T. Lee Tells How e20O.OOO
Judgment Could he Paid.

Herman r. Leo, secretary Of the
American AnTi-Boycott Association, said
yesterday the union hatters OF Danbury
are wrong when they say enforcement
Of the judgment OF s2s0,00o in favor Of
u. f. Loewe & Co. will not only wipe
out their savings IT take their homes
as well. In each instance in which
hatters became defendants in the Dan
bury suit. the defence was undertaken
by the union on the express taderntand-
ing that the defendant should nor be
put TO any expense or be liable for any
judgment. according to Mr.. Lee
There are now in Danbury savings
banks accounts amounting TO 100000,
which with interest since 1903, when
they were attached by the plaintiffs In
the suit, total nearly $4,000. The hat
ters contend these will be lost to them
unless Congress votes to aid them Mr..
Lee, however, says the face value OF
these savings accounts was paid TO each
halter at the time they were attached.
and that the bank accounts no longer
belong TO the union members, but to the
union as whole, subject, Of course, TO
the attachments against them.
There are also 1863 pieces OF real es-
tate beloncing to the hatters which are
under attachment. When these and the
$4,000 IN banks are reckoncd In, II Is
said. each halter will have TO be assessed
