lations today from many who opposed
him on the changing Of the name of the
Commercial club. These congratulations
are not because his amendment failed
to carry, but from the fact that he
stirred things up to a considerable ex-
tent, and brought out opinions of all
kinds as to what might be good for the
club. While the amendment was lost,
the discussion that followed broug
out expressions of opinions and inquir.
les as to what was being done and hor
the funds were being spent, and what
the Commercial club intended to do to
prevent merchants from being solicited
every day for various enterprises.

five CONVICTIONS IN NUECES
COUNTY ELECTION Cases
Thirty-FiVe Were Declared Not Guilty
by Federal Jury at Corpus
Christi, Texas.

Corpus Christi, Tex.-With a court
room stripped Of spectators, in order
TO avoid d demonstration, five defend
ants in the election fraud cases which
have been on trial before Judge Wal
Ter I. Burns in the Corpus Christi di.
vision Of the United States district
court since Sept. 6, heard verdicts OF
guilty brought against them Friday.
The jury was in deli5eratiOn on the
case eleven hours and thirty minutes.
With eighteen Of the forty-one defend
ants dismissed on motion of the dis
trict attorney, and a special charge to
acqult District Judge W. B. Hopkins
from the act with which he was
charged, the jury in reality, had but
to consider twenty-five defendants in
the case. All these twenty-five we're
acquitted of alleged violations of Sec
ton l9 of the penal code, in which
they we're charged with conspiracy to
restrain persons from liberty of voting
as enjoyed under the constitution.
This embraced two counts in the in
dictment
On the third count, the jury found
August Uehlinger, county clerk of
Nueces county; Lee Riggs, constable;
Henry Stevens, large property owner;
Ed Castleberry, saloon man and DO
litlcal worker, and Tom Dunn, former
city secretary, guilty of a conspiracy
TO defraud the United States by voting
unqualified electors for two congress
men at large from the state of Texas,
namely, ]. H. Davis and Jeff McLe.
more; and one congressional repre-
sentative from the Fifteenth district,
namely, John N Garner.
Sixteen defendants were acquitted
of the charge, as follows: Dennis Kel-
ley, Jim Kelley, Martin Kelley, Ike
Johnson, Joe Downey, Thomas b.
w. J. Cody, W. P. Hull,
John McManigle, Mike inland, E. R.
Oliver, Van Branch (negro), Juan Gal.
van, Rafael Galvan, Anselmo Pedraso
and Angel Gutierrez.
The most surprising feature of the
'eport was the statement that the Jury
vas disagreed on the case of Walter
Timon, and that no verdict was
cached. Timon is county judge of
county. He will be given a
lew trial, probably with change of
'enue, although the court has not
tated where.

CONCESSIONS MADE BY
GERMANY IN FRYE Case
In Note Assurances Given That YES

Washtngton.-Germany, in a notc
Thursday on the case of the ship Viii
liam Frye, has given the United States
| formal assurance that American YES.
sells carrying conditional conraband
will under no circumstances be de-
stroyed, even though deemed lawful

The right to destroy American mer-
chantmen, if carrying contraband, is
reserved, but the promise is given that
this will re done only in case of ex-
IRENE necessity, as provided by the
declaration of London.
These assurances, together with the
acceptance by Germany of the two
proposals of the United States-the
one to name a joint commission of ex-
perts TO fix the indemnity for the loss
OF the Frye, and the other to submit
to The Hague the dispute which the
case produced over the meaning of
the treaty of 182S-produced a favor

Just what the practical operation of
the new assurances will be, officials
were keenly interested to learn, for
under the list Of contraband proclaim
ed by Germany in retaliation for acts
OF Great Britain, nearly everything
previously known as conditional con-
traband has now been made absolute.
1t is not known as yet what atti-
tude the United States will take in its
next note, but, it is understood that it
may reiterates its insistence that the
treaty Of 1928, and now the existing
international law, makes American

Front; Villas Shadow Still Seen.

New York.-Gecretary Lansing, rep
resenting the United States govern
ment, and the diplomatic representa-
tiyes of Brazil, Chile, Argentina, B0
livia, Uruguay and Guatemala re
solved at their meeting Saturday that
the time had come for the extension
of formal recognition to a government
in Mexico
In about three weeks another meet.
ing Of the conference will be held in
Washington, at which a decision is to
be reached as to the element upon
which recognition should be conferred
A formal statement issued by the
conference declared that inasmuch as
the factions themselves had failed to
come to an agreement, recognition
would be accorded to the de facto
authorities possessing the material
and moral capacity necessary to pro-
tect the lives and property of nation
ais and foreigners"
Each Of the several governments, it
was announced, would itself judge
such capacity and recognition will
likewise be extended by each govern
ment separately at such time as it
may deem proper"
Unless the military situation in
Mexico takes a decided turn within
the next three weeks in favor Of Gen
eraI Villa, who has concentrated his
forces for battle with General 0bre-
gOn, the CarranZa commander in chief,
at Torreon, most of the conferees
were Of the opinion that the CarranZa
government would logically be en-
titled to recognition
The several governments will en-
deavor to learn, however, not only
what territory each faction controls,
bat what promise Of stability the fac
tons give that aspire for recognition.
To determine exactly what is the
status of the different factions, the
several governments will examine the
situation, each in its own way. The
United States will seek to form its
judgment through long and exhaustive
reports from its consuls, supplement- |
ed by personal conferences in Wash !
ngton between Secretary Lansing and |
of all elements.
They will be heard impartially as to |
heir claims, and members of the Pan
American conference can attend such |
conferences or hearings if
hey desire, but no obligation is i'm
posed on any of the Pan-American
governments to join the United States

to the following of elevated lines as if with the idea of being killed or mainn- ed, 1t can be understood that such fig- ures as quoted cannot be expected to grow less until there is a, change in conditions.
 The much lower death and accident list across the water than in this coHn- try is attributed to the fact that here the laws against trespass1ng upon rail- road property do not exist or are not generally enforced, whereas in the United Kingdom, those found upon railroad property other than passen- gers and employees, are fined $1o for each offense. Though only a small portion of those using railroad prop erty every day are killed, the fatality list is way beyond reason and until such an enforcement of the law is made in this country as in Great Bri- tain it will continue. The method of treating such trespassinG in the two countries points out the remedy to a peril over which little concern is man ifested here except when the crush ing out of life briefly arouses first one and then another section of the state or country.
