EDISON BATTERY
SECRETLY PLACED
in SUBMARINEK-1
Marines Guard Boat at
Navy Yard and Officials
Withhold Information.

Carefully guarded preparations were
made by officials at the navy yard yes
terday for the Installation of Thomas
A. Edison's new nickel batteries aboard
the submarine XII. r. A. Bachman,
general manager of the Edison concern
at Orange, is in charge OF the WORK
II the batteries prove as effective IN
practical use as they are said to have
done while the electrical wizard was
experimenting with them the United
States navy will possess the first
underwater craft in which the danger
Of the crew being suffocated by chic
rine gas is practically eliminated.
Mr.. Bachman arrived about II
o'clock at the navy yard yesterday:
He Immediately went to the nj ana
set to work on the batteries. Extra
precautions were taken to keep away
persons from the submarine.
None of the officers at the navy yard
would talk of the batteries. Most OF
them said they knew nothing about
them. Chlorine gas is the bugaboo
of undersea boats, and most othcers
who are familiar with them believe
that chlorine gas caused the destruc-
ton of the F-4 at Honolulu, several
months ago.
The nickel batteries are the result
of a visit of Mr. Edison TO the navy
ward about seven months ago. lie VS.
tied one of the boats of the type
with Secretary Daniels and spent about
three-quarters Of an hour studying the
vitals of the submarine. At the con-
clusion Of his visit it was announced
that the wizard believed that he had
solved the problem Of doing away with
danger of gas suffocation and that he
would Immediately begin an expert
ment with new battery.
officers say that there Is no doubt
OF the success of Mr.. Edison's tests
and they are eagerly awaiting the re-
suits.
How long it would take to install
the batteries or when test would be
made could not be learned at the navy
yard. officers said that It would take
about two weeks 10 install the bat
series. A dock trial will be given the
submarine. after which II will take
some short practice spins around the
harbor
The putting in of the batteries Is
practically the first work of the new
advisory board appointed by Secretary
Daniels. While the board in no way
passed on the battery invention, it IS
believed that it hurried matters and
that many other inventions will be
tried out within a short time.

cate wearers of gems Charles F.
Manahan, second vice-president of the
association, pointed out yesterday that
it was foolish for women to wear
heavy adornments with light clothing,
and vice versa. Turquoise and mala-
chite, heavily set, he suggested as
suitable for winter wear, and clear
stones. daintily set in platinum, for
warmer weather
One of the most attractive displays
at the exposition. which jewellers
estimated contained more than ST.
100000 worth of gems, is that of
Powers g. Mayer, Inc. Here Miss
Catherine Thompson sits behind a
table wearing $4,000 in precious
stones and ornaments. Her jewelry
attire consists of an Egyptian tenn
pie headpiece, Dutch collar Of dia-
monds. a huge corsage, pearl and
diamond girdle and studded bracelets
and rings. At another booth is to be
found a diamond valued at $4,000.
While the visitor waits a machine
in the Whiting e. Davis booth will
manufacture for him either a gold
watchchain or a dainty mesh bag. A
collection of cultured pearls, at L.

of large gatherings yesterday. These
pearls are cheaper than ordinary
pearls and are obtained from carefully

Victory by Carranza May
Lead to His RecOgni-
ton by Washington.
PROVISIONAL HEAD
NOT YET DISCUSSED
State Department Puts End to
Reports That Vasquez Tagle
Had Been Selected.
From The Tribune Bireau.l


Washington, Aug. 24.-The Ameri-
can government has not even consid-
cred the selection of man TO head a
provisional government in Mexico, says
an official statement from the State
Department to-day. The announcement
was made to put an end to reports that
the government had decided on Vasquez
Tagle as provisional President.
The announcement was regarded as
significant also as indicating the open
mindedness of the government and the
possibility that the claims of Gerc raj
Carranza may receive serious atten'
ton. Although the administration has
been opposed to the recognition of Car
rama or of any other factionist, IL is
believed that much will depend upon
the military events of the next few
weeks.
If Carranza is as strong in a mill
tary way as he appears to be he should
have no difficulty, it is believed, in de-
feating Villa and taking complete con-
troll of the situation. On the other
hand, il is considered not impossible
that Villa will turn the tables on his
former chief and strengthen his own
chances for consideration.
1t is expected the Pan-American con-
ference will not be called into session
until the controversy with Germany
is settled. The administration has
shown a determination TO deal with one
problem at time.
Carranza's reply to the Pan-Ameri-
can appeal is not expected for several
days. While it is known that he will
not accede to the demand of the con-
ferrees unless he can control the peace
parleys, officials say certain influences
are beginning to work on the First
Chief that may persuade him to a more
conciliatory course. 1t is believed Car
rama would have an excellent chance
of securing practically all he has con-
tended for if he would enter the pro-
posed peace conference.
Encouragement is said to have been
given Carranza's representatives here
by several OF the European govern
ments whose diplomatic agents have
been consulted. c. A. Douglas to-day
called upon Sir Cecil Spring-Rice, the
British Ambassador, and submitted to
him Carranza's claims for recognition-
Great Britain has said it would follow
the lead of the United States.
The Villa agency to-day stated that
General Chaos, who had been reported
to have deserted to the Constitution
alists, was still loyal to Villa. General
Chaos telegraphed the agency that
there was no truth in the report OF his
detection.

Villa Army Near Revolt;
Defeated at Monterey
by Telegraph TO The Tribune. ]

FL Paso, Tex, Aug. 24.-Villas ac-
ceptance of the Pan-American peace
suggestion without first getting the
consent Of his army has started re-
volt in the southern division army, &C
cording to reports from Torreon to-
day.
General r. Fierro and the Zapata
commanders, who supplied reinforce
ments to Villas army, resent Villas
action, and it is said crisis which
threatens the disruption of the Villa
forces is near at Torreon. II is said
that Villas action in splitting his
army into small guerilla commands was
the result of the rebellious stand of
some of his generals, he hoping in that
way to lessen the effect by scattering
the commands.
Details of the attack on Monterey
by the Villa army commanded by Cen
eral Raoul Madero reached Ell Paso
to-day. The attack, the report says,
was complete failure, Madero's forces
being cut TO pieces and scattered by
General Jacinto Trevino's Carranza
army holding Monterey.
General Madero, it is said, was
forced to abandon his army and flee
to Ixtle, Nuevo Leon. General Oresta
Pereya, commanding one wing of Ma
dero's army, was killed, and General
Rosalio Hernandez, one of the most
prominent of the Villa commanders,
was MORALLY wounded and is said to
have died.
General Madero used nine cannon in
the bombardment of the city, and
eight of them were captured by Gen.
eral Trevino, the report states.
Confirmation of the defeat was re-
ceived in Juarez to-day in a message
from General Madero, dated at ixtle,
which stated that the assault had been
unsuccessful Carranza advices from
Monterey say Madero's army was badly
scattered and that he now is trying TO
reassemble it at IXtle.
Notice was received by United States
army officers here to-day that leaves
of absence now are restricted to fifteen
days. No reason is given, but Grmy
men think it is the result of the Mex
lean situation.

Negotiating for Treaty
for Ten-Year Control
of Customs.
REBELS AGAINST
PROPOSED PACT
President Dartiguenave's Life
Threatened if He Puts Con.
vention Through.
From The Tribune Bureau

Washington, Aug. 24.-The State De-
partment has opened negotiations with
the Haytian Government for a treaty
similar to that now in force with Santo
Domingo, which will give the United
States control of the Haytian customs
and a supervision over the national
finances for ten years. II is hoped the
negotiations can be carried on so as TO
conciliate the mass of people in Hayti.
The negotiations are being conducted
by American repre- sentatives in Hayti,
and the State Department has tried to
keep them secret until their success is
assured. The custom houses of the
three principal ports have been for
some time under the control of Amer
lean officers, who were placed in charge
after the military occupation Of the
republic.
President Dartiguenave, whose elec|
tion was due in large measure to the
protection of American troops in Hayti,
favors the plan, but is fearful Of pop
ular disapproval. The Bobo party,
which has not ceased its activities in
spite of the exile of its chief, is openly
hostile to an American protectorate IN
Hayti, and, under the leadership OF
General Morenci, one of Bobo's prln-
cipal adherent5, has enlisted the assist
ance of the Cacos, native caste OF
rough riders.
Rebels Aided by Guerillas.
The Bobo party's activities are chiefly
confined TO the north Of the island.
The Cacos are rowing bands of mer-
cenaries, who are skilled in guerilla
fighting, and descend on the coast
towns only for sudden raids. While
their power is not great, they are able
to harass the administration and are
not easily suhdued.
Every effort is being made by the
revolutionists to incite the populace
against the proposed treaty with the
United States, and Dartiguenave's LIE
has been threatened if he persist IN
allowing the pact TO be put through.
The administration, however, is conf
dent that the intelligent citizens OF
Hayti will support the measure and
back up the government against the
rebels.
If the treaty is concluded, the Amer
lean troops will undoubtedly be kept
in Hayti until all danger Of revolt is
past. The Sacramento left New Orleans
to-day 10 join Rear Admiral Caperton's
command, and preparations are being
made by the Navy Department for
prolonged occupation.
1t is pointed out, however, that the
assassination of President Guillaume
was due TO popular indignation, stirred
up by Bobo's charge that the govern
ment was planning to hand over the
custom houses 20 American control. AT
that time Santo Domingo was pointed
out as a horrible example of the havoc
wrought by American interests.
