WILSON INFORMED
 VILLA IS SEEKING
 PEACE CONFERENCE
United States Sees First Tangible Results of Its Warning to Mexican
 Leaders

Washington, June 14.--The United states was formally notified today by General Villa on behalf of the Mex jean convention forces that he had teI- egraphed General Carranza urging conference for the restoration of peace leo.
 'rhis step is the first tangibie de- velopment resulting from President Wilson's recent warning to all Mex ican factions that unless they came to an agreement among themselves soon, some other means would be em- lployed by the United States to relieve the suffering population from further dessi t 2 [ ions af the military element. On General Carranza's reply depends the next move in the situation.
 Coincidentally, the state department was advised hy Miss Mabel Boardman of the American Red Cross that the Mexican authorities at Piedras Negras had denied entry to a carload of foo1- stuffs consigned for the relief of peo- pie in Moncloya. Consul Blocker is en- deavoring to use his good offices to arrange for the transportation of the supplies. One report said that Gen eral Rosalio Hernandez, the Villa com mander. had declared the supplies mot only were not needed but would not he allowed to enter" Until Consul Blocker reports the details the state department will taken no further ac- ton.
 The announcement that General Villa had initiated a movement for peace was received with satisfaction in official quarters. Enrique C. Llorente. Washing ton representative of the Villa -Zapata coalition, called on Secretary Lansing with a copy of the Villa telegram to Carranza and long note from General Villa replying to President Wilson's re- cent pronouncement of policy. The note referred appreciatively to the Presidents S efforts and outlined the purposes of the Villa-Zapata leaders to bring about a reconciliation with the Carranzistas. r In the message to Carranza dated June H. and sent direct from the camp of the northern general at Aguas Ca1ientes to the first chief at Vera Cruz. stress is laid upon President Wilson's warning that the United States would be obliged to decide on other methods" should coalition of the factions prove futile.''

SERIOUS CHARGE
 AGAINST FU[LAM
 IS MADE BY HAY
Counsel for Naval Academy Students Virtually Claims That Witnesses in Probe
 Were Tempered With

Annapolis, June I4.--A virtual charge of tampering with the evidence of witnesses before the court of i'm quiry Investigating irregularities in ex- animation papers at the Naval academy was made today against Admiral Tul- lam, superintendent of the academy, by Congressman James Hay, counsel for seven of the midshipmen defend- ants.
 Hay said that the evidence of midship- men that they have been taken to the office of the superintendent of the soad- emy and there that either the superin- tendent or his aide had told them if they took certain position in this case what would happen to them" indicated tam pering with the evidence of tho wit nesses.
 Tt may be proper" Hay continued, '.when these young gentlemen are or- dered up here from the ship that they should report to the superintendent. But it is not proper, in my judgment. that the superintendent should be allowed to give them his opinion of what they ought to say or what they ought to do, or in what category they are to place them selves.
 Shock to Nation
 'I say it shocks the decency of the whole country that these young men should have to undergo lecture by the man who is over them and in whose hands rests their fortune as long as he occupies the position that he does. It seems to me that the court, in order to protect the witnesses and in order to protect itself, will take some step to pre- vent that sort of thing going on
 After considering Hays request behind closed doors for nearly an hour. Capt. Robert L. Russell, president of the court, announced that he had decided that the following letter be sent to the supern- tendent of the academy:
 "The question has been raised in this court in regard to persons already sum- moned for appearance as witnesses before the court being seen at the superlntcnd- ent's office, either by himself or by his aide, and instructed as to their status as witnesses or possible defendants. This might influence their testimony.
 Therefore, it is requested that prior to the completion of their testimony be- fore the court and prior to their being regularly designated as defendants wit nesses and possible defendants summoned through the superint endent's office be not instructed at any time or place us to the possible status in which they will be placed by virtue of any action they might take as witnesses or defendapts.
