SquabhIes of Stockholders Land

company's President, h. U. Nudge
and Jacob M. Dickinson Ap-
pointed Receivers.

Chicago. April 20.-As the culmina
tion of months of financial stress
and squabbles among stockholders,
the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific
Railway company was put in the
hands of receivers today by Judge
George A. Carpenter of the federal
district court
The crisis was precipitated by the
filing of a petition by the American
Steel Foundries Company, to which
the railroad owed the petty amount
of s15,S1S for equipment, but back Of
this was the fundamental fact, as
stated in the petition and admitted
by the railroads officials in court,
that the road could not meet de-
mands for about $5,000,000, in short
term notes and other obligations,
due between now and May l.
The court appointed Fl. u Nudge,
President of the company, and Jacob
NJ. Dickinson, former secretary OF
war as receivers. Mr. Dickinson will
have the decision in any difference
OF opinion.
With the receivership described by
tuoSe Niosc W tHe SltudllOH as
friendly affair in which both sides
have knives in their hands, plans
are already under consideration for
readjustment of the roads financial
affairs and an early ending of the
court proceedings.
The road needs about s30,O00,000
within fifteen months to meet obli-
cations. According to one view this
amount may be raised by converting
some of the outstanding bonds into
stock and issuing new bonds in their
stead. A plan to issue preferred
stock, it was found, would not be at
tractive from bankers view point,
and would probably meet with decid-
ed opposition from the present stock
holders

Washington, April 20.-General
Villa, following his defeat by General
Obregon, has gone from Irapuato to

| reorganize the remnants of his army
there. according to information reach
ing the state department today An
| announcement by Secretary Bryan
| read:
The department Is informed that
General Villa has arrived at Aguasca
lientes with fourteen trains of troops.
| 1t is stated that he has announced
his intention to reorganize his forces
at Aguascalientes. The railroad
track over which these trains passed
has been destroyed"
The last sentence indicates Villas
fear OF pursuit
While lacking official confirmation,
reports from the board of split be-
tween General Felipe Angeles, chief
of artillery, and General Villa greatly
interested officials of the state depart
ment because trouble between Villa
and Angeles would still further com
plicate the Mexican situation and
add TO the troubles that have been
piling up on the Villistas since Gener
al Obregon began his active cam
paign against them.
The Carranzista agents here are
insisting that there is a breach be-
tween Villa and Angeles that cannot
be healed and are endeavoring to
make it appear that Angeles has
working agreement with ex-President
Huerta for starting a counter-revolu-
tion. Senor Arredondo, the agent OF
the Carranzistas, gave out this mes
sage as coming from Ell Paso:
1t is reported here from apparent
ly trustworthy sources that Villa has
ordered the Imprisonment of Angeles
in Torreon, threatening to shoot the
ex-Federal for errors made during
the recent battle of Celaya. Villa
has ordered Hilario Carrillo of Tor

Club of that city. shot, and has rob-
bed all local merchants when he re-
turned infuriated from defeat south
OF Irapuato He ordered the execu-
tion of the three Mendez brothers
and the sentence was carried out at
Apam.''
The state department received
telegram from Special Agent Sill
man at Vera Cruz today saying the
Carranza authorities announced last
night that Gen. Obregon was still at
Celaya, but that his forces were
much further north in pursuit of the
remnants of Villas army. 1t is stat
ed that Gen. lara brought 1000 Car
rama soldiers with him from Yucca
tan to Vera Cruz.

ROOSEVELT HEARD
IN DEFENCE At
BARNES TRIAL
Will Continue Testimony in Big
Libel Suit Today
SAYS BARNES UPHELD BOSSES
Urged Him Not to Oppose Men Of
Big Business Who Supplied
Funds for Party Machines

Syracuse, n Y. April 21-Theo
dore Roosevelt, former president Of
the United States, went upon the wit
ness stand in the supreme court here
yesterday and testified in an effort to
prove his contention that he was
| justified i'll causing the publication OF
the statement upon which William
Barnes sued him to recover $4,000
| for alleged libel. Under oath he said
| that the former chairman of the re.
publican state committee had urged
| him not to antagonize men of large
business interests who contributed to
| both the democratic and republican
parties so that they would be protect
ed
Mr. Barnes told him, Mr.. Roosevelt
swore, that it was essential to pro-
tect big business interests because
unless they were protected they
would not make contributions to the
party failing to protect them, and
without such contributions it was i'm
possible to carry on the organization.
Without organization, leaders and
bosses, the former president quoted
Mr.. Barnes as saying, party govern
ment would be impossible. Mr.
Roosevelt also quoted Mr.. Barnes as
telling him that the people are not
fit to govern themselves. They have
got to be governed by the party or
ganization you cannot have leaders,
unless you have money
Mr.. Roosevelt was called to the
stand as a witness for the plaintiff
after a technical question of proper
Identification OF the plaintiff and de-
fendant had been hrought up by the
lawyers He was asked just one
question. That was whether he was
the defendant in the action. He re-
piled in the affirmative and was then
made witness in his own behalf.
Mr.. Roosevelt gave detailed testi-
mony about his relations with the
late Senator Thomas C. Platt, with
with both those men on various oc-
casions. He will continue his testi-
mony today.
Mr.. Barnes himself appeared to be
very much interested in the first part
of Mr.. Rooseyelt's testimony. AS it
progressed however. the plaintiff in
the action seemed to lose interest
and he first retired from seat close
to the witness stand to one further
away, and then he left the room.
Mr.. Barnes's lawyer had rested be-
fore Mr.. Roosevelt was called to the
stand. They completed presentation
of their case in 20 minutes and called
as their single witness the defend.
ants own private secretary.

FROM ITALY
Gathering on the Frontier Accord
ing to Reports Reaching Rome
BATTERIES IN INTRENCHMENTS
Russia, Rumania and Italy Said tc
Have Arrived at a Thorough
Understanding.

Rome, April 20.-Reports received
here today from Austria say that
the Dual Monarchy is hurriedly gath,
ering troops on the Italian frontier
10 face possible invasion by Italian
soldiers.
\ large contingent of Austrian
troops, the reports say, have been
quartered at Monfalcone, Ronchi,
and Sagrado The Austrians also
are said to have fortified strongly the
whole line of the Isonzo River with
intrenchments, behind which batter
les already are in position.
The Messaggero says that Michael
deGiers, the new Russian Ambassa-
dor to Italy, is delaying his arrival
in Rome because of his desire before
leaving Petrograd to arrange with
his own Government for the conclus-
ion of thorough agreement between
Russia and Italy, not only concerning
Italy's intervention in the war, but
with regard to Italys position when
peace is reached
The Messaggero adds that an al
most perfect accord continues to ex-
ist between Italy and Rumania, and
that therefore Italy's neutrality is
approaching its end, although no
body can fix the day that Italy will
enter upon hostilities.
I'VE would be blind still to hope
for a good result from the Vienna

Linues. This has been dilatory
game. 1t was proposed by Prince
von Buelow, the German Ambassador
and accepted by Austria and Italy be
cause for various reasons both coun.
tries considered it convenient to
postpone the day of reckoning

DOES NOT BELIEVE
EVEN WAR WOULD
DIVIDE AMERICA
President Wilson Appeals For Un-
tied Nation in Biz Crisis
TALKS TO ASSOCIATED PRESS
Warning Governments VIII Turn to
Us for the Final Ad-
justment.

New York. April 21.--It Is SYM
pathetic, fair, impartial nation that
President Wilson desires to stand be-
hind him in the present emergency,
a country indivisibly for America
| first, imbued with a real spirit OF
| neutrality, and therefore better able
! to mediate in the affairs of the
| world.
1t is his hope that all his fellow
| citizens will realize this and stand to
gether, undisturbed by petty distem-
| pers created by those who are shout.
fng their views the loudest.
Men are saying that If we go to
war upon either side there would be
divided America-an abominable
libel Of ignorance he said yester-
day. America is not all of it vocal
just now. 1t is vocal in spots"
A plea for neutrality Of the kind
he described was the keynote OF the
Presidents speech yesterday at the
annual luncheon of the Associated
Press, held at the Waldorf-Astoria,
and attended by fully $50 owners,
publishers or other representatives
of as many newspapers in all parts
of the country. The President had
a particular purpose In making his
plea to them, for, he said, they are
the men who deal with the facts, tho
raw material out of which opinions
were formed, and opinion is what
rules the world.
These vocalists of whom the Presi-
dent spoke are not the Americans he
is working for, he said for. he has a
supreme faith in the great silent
body of Americans who are waiting
to find out the duty Of this country
and support it.
The times through which the ma
tion has safely come have been troub
lesome, he said, but 1t is clear that
the test for America will come We
are the only great nation now olsen
gagged, he said, we are a compound OF
the nations Of the world and there
Tore the only nation able to- under-
stand and syn1pathize with all the
nations now at war, and he believes
1t likely that soon the nations win
turn to us for the cooler assessment
of the elements engaged"
President Wilson said that what
he covets for the United States is
self-control and self-mastery, dis
tinction which no nation has ever at.
tained but something he regards ~
far greater than fighting.

eARRos's MOTOR FAILED HIM
Aviator's Capture Due to Defect in
His Monoplane

Paris. April 20-The news of the
capture by the Germans of Lieut..
Roland Garros, the famous aviator.
dwarfed all other news in the public
mind this morning. Garros was un-
doubtedly the best liked aviator in
France, owing to his combination OF
skill, modesty and courage. The
news was received while the papers
were still giving details of his recent
exploits in bringing down three en-.
emy aeroplanes within fortnight.
The regret at the capture of Lieut
Garros is somewhat mitigated by the
fact that his capture was not due to
German superiority in the air. but to
the failure of his motor. Garros has
recently been using a small, ligh.
aud very rapid monoplane built on
his own plans and armed with a
mitrailleuse.
