IN SIGHT
FOR MEXICO NOW
BY LEWIS T. MATSON
N. s. Staff Corresponden Mt

Ell PASO, Texas, July 28-Peace is
in sight in war-racked Mexico at last.
Carranza and Villa supporters intend
to make efforts to reach basis of
agreement to meet the demands of the
United States that the present civil
war be terminated.
News of the peace plan reached
here today in dispatch from Torreon
stating that Miguel Diaz Lombardo,
minister of foreign affairs in the Villa
cabinet, had arrived there and an
nounced that within a week leading
generals of the Carranza army would
gather in Torreon for conference
with Villa representatives.
In the meantime truce has been
declared and the opposing armies are
resting on their arms. According to
Senor Lom bardo, the Carranza gener-
ais who will arrive here include AL
varo Obregon, Benjamin Hill, Jacinto
Trevino, Miguel Diguez and Pablo
Gonzales. These men are the ablest
leaders in the Carranza army. Car
ranza's attitude on the matter has not
yet been made known.
But 1t is understood that If he tries
to balk the peace plans his generals
will cast off his authority.

INFORMED LINCOLN
OF HIS ELEVATION
TO WHITE HOUSE

The man who first informed Abra-
ham Lincoln of his election to the
presidency of the United States is in
the city today renewing old acquaint-
ances and reviewing scenes of his
early manhood when he was a resident
of Richmond
The man is z. P. Hotchkiss. we'll
known among the Grand Army men of
this city. He is now living at Oak
Park, ILL.,, and is connected with the
Phil Sheridan Post, G. A. R.. of Oak
Park, as adjutant. During the Civil
pany G, 36th Illinois Infantry Volun-
teers. He is a past Junior Vice Com
mander of the Department of Illinois.
During Mr. Hotchkiss' residence in
Wayne county, he took part in the
sham battle" that occurred when ef-
forts were made to remove the books
and records from the old Centerville
court house to Richmond.
Yes, l was one of the sham bat
tiers" said Mr.. Hotchkiss smilingly
Il remember it we'll and have laughed
about it since"
Although the old veteran is reluct-
ant in talking about the events in his
life which have gone to make history
of this county, his eyes light up with
enthusiasm when the early history of
the telephone and the telegraph in
dustry in Richmond is mentioned. He
organized the first telephone company
in Richmond and was head of the GEN.
trail exchange for many years. He
made a visit to the present plant of
the Richmond telephone exchange and
commented on the great Improvement
that has been made in the service as
he first installed it in Richmond
Mr.. Hotchkiss was guest of Mr..
and Mrs. Edward Thatcher. l2S South

STRAYER COMES OUT
FOR COUNTY OFFICE
IN Announcement

Attorney Frank c. Strayer, justice
of the peace, is making preparations
to become candidate for the nomina-
ton of prosecutor of Wayne county on
the Republican ticket, it was stated at
his court room today.
Justice Strayer declared, in making
the announcement, that his candidacy
will be based, fundamentally, upon the
generally favorable comments made
upon the efficiency with which he has
conducted his court by attorneys and
litigants.
During the time he has held office,
his court has become popular with the
attorneys until it is estimated that he
is given ninety per cent of the bust
ness going to the courts of justices of
the peace. One of the reasons for
this, his friends say is his knowledge
of the law which eliminates appeals
of cases of the circuit court for de-
cision.
Judge Henry Fox who has COM
mented favorably upon Justice Stray
ers courts, is said to have had this
detail in mind in expressing his sat
isfaction.

Pending receipt of the supplement
tary note by this government, the COM
munication being prepared by Presi-
dent Wilson and Secretary Lansing on
the British controversy, will not be
sent. Work will proceed on the Amer
ican note, however, as the British
blockade situation becomes more and
more serious from the standpoint of
the American shipper and pressure is
being brought upon the admlnistra-
ton for early action.
1t is understood in British circles
that the only purpose of the London
officials in asking postponement of
the publication of it's note sent last
week was a desire of his majesty s
government to reply in detail to the
communication of the United States
cabled on July II with regard to cases
before prize courts.
In this communication the Wash
ington government declined to recog-
nize the validity of prize court pro-
ceedings in the present controversy. 1t
was argued that there is considera-
BILE difference Of opinion between the
two governments as to the principles
of law applicable in prize court pro-
ceedings and the United States would
stand on the rights of its citizens un-
der international law as hitherto es-
tablished. This government objects to
a limitation of the rights of shippers
by the British order in council or sim
liar British legislation and 1t was rep
resented strongly that the rules gov.
erning neutral shipping should be in
accordance with the international law
and not shaped by legislation of this
character.

Justice Promises Decision
Late Today-New York
Gamblers Bet on Victory
of Former Official.
UNDERWORLD HEARS
Tip Reaches Underworld Of
Favorable DecisiOn-News
Travels Rapidly From
Mysterious Source.

NEW YORK, July 2S-Justice John
Ford will hand down a decision on
Charles Becker's application for new
trial this afternoon his secretary an
nounced today. The secretary also
stated that Justice Ford was of the
opinion that 1t was unnecessary to call
Becker or any other person as wit
nesses before deciding the main issue
No hint was given as to the nature
OF the forthcoming decision but law
yers who have followed the case close
ly expressed belief that Becker would
win his fight for a new trial.
Scores Of letters begging him to
give Becker another chance were re-
ceived by Justice Ford this morning.
One was from DR.. William Butler head
Of the State Normal School of Penn
sylvania. It's principal assertion was,
THE man is not. guilty"
I'm your mercy be just" read an
other.
Think of Whitman and his aspira-
ton. In the name of God l counsel
you to be merciful." advised another.
The others were of similar trend.
Bets are being freely offered on the
East S1Oo To-Day JQaC CQdrleS Becker
will not be electrocute1 Friday morn
ing for the murder Of Herman Rosen-
thai. Those willing to wager on
Becker's chances find few takers, how
ever. The mysterious and canny news
gathering agencies of the district from
which came the gunmen who died for
killing Rosenthal have spread the
tip" that Becker Is to receive .
further respite. ...-s.sSss.'s
In the meantime Justice Ford still
has under consideration Becker's plea
for a new trial. Since the justice re-
ceived the application he has had but
little sleep, spending most of the night
in his study looking up the case sued
by Becker's counsel. No tntimation
had come from Justice Ford this fore
noon as to what his decision might be,
but the condemned mans lawyers ap-
peared confident that a decision in
Becker's favor would be handed down,
or that the prisoner and other wit
nesses would be summoned for inter-
rogation by the court.

ENGLAND REALIZES
DANGER TO NATION
AFTER ITS LETHARCY

TORONTO, Ontario, July 2s.-
Every man in the British empire that
ought to be listened to sees no hope
of victory, absolutely none. and very
little even of a drawn battle unless
conditions be changed"
This statement is contained in an
article called "Britain's Second Wind" :"
written by the Rev. C. W. Gordon.
Ralph Connor the famous author. The
writer went on to say that England
has been over-confident since the be-
ginning of the war. not realizing the
seriousness of the conflict.
What was wrong? The fact was
simply this: That the British people
were standing and looking with newly
opened eyes at the spectre Of defeat
looming up through the Channel mists,
unlike the traditional spectre Of our
dreams, sleeping or walking. in that
ii refused to disappear and wore q
shiny. spiked helmit."
Dr. Gordon says that this ID all
changing and that England finally has
become aroused and. has her second
wind.

that had been held up is believed to
contain the suggestion that the ship
pers of this country should be satisfied
with recourse to the prize court, it
being pointed out at the same time
by Great Britain that she considers
herself within international law in her
blockade.
Officials no longer are worried about
the Leelanaw incident. The statement
of the captain and crew of the vessel
that they were given ample warning
before she was sunk is an extenuating
circumstance which minimiZes the i'm
portance of the incident and it now is
understood that the representation Of
this government will concern mainly
the question of reparation for the ship
and the alleged violation of the treaty
of 1928 between the United States and
Prussia. 1t is expected the German
version of the incident will be sought
from Berlin before final representa-
tions are made to the kaiser's govern
ment.
