Contentious of Counsel.

Counsel for the complaining corpo-
ration contended that the subpoena was
too broad in scope, that 1T was infor-
MAJ IN that 1t required a return be-
fore the United States attorney and
not court. and that it partook of the
nature of unlawful search and seizure,
which is prohibited by the Constitu-
ton They also urged that it was ad-
dressed to and served on an employe,
VINO was not in lawful control or pos
session of the documents and records
of the corporation
Ihe assistant prosecutors claimed in
their argument that the subpoena was
legally issued and that the court hav-
ing power to call for the production Of
papers before it had control over such
papers and might direct that they be
committed to the custody of the
United States attorney regardless of
whether q proceeding were pending.
They pointed out that the clerk re-
spending to the subpoena had physica
possession of and control over the
papers, and that was sufficient to make
her the proper party to be summoned
to bring the papers to the United
States attorneys office. The assistant
United States attorneys denied that
the ISSUANCE of the subpoena in the
search and seizure, and urged that the
papers were not owned by the indi-
viduals charged with violating the law
but were the property of the corpora
non, separate entity in the law.

QUESTION Of THE RIGHT
Of SEARCH IS ARGUED
Use of Subpoena Duces Tecum in
Marks-Goldsmith Case Under
Consideration.

After listening to arguments, which
occupied practically the entire session
Of the District Supreme Court today,
Justice Mccoy took under consideration
the question of the right of search ey
post office inspectors and deputy United
States marshals under subpoena duces
tecum. He will render decision later
as to his view of the right of such Of
ficers to take records and documents be-
longing to a corporation whose officers
have been charged with a violation of
law to the Office of the United States
attorney before a case is actually on
hearing in court or before the grand
jury.
Arguments against the legality of
such search and seizure of papers
were made by former United States
Attorney Baker, and Attorneys Pey-
ton Gordon and William E. Leahy.

ViI|istas Take Several
Hundred Horses From
Aforementioned Ranches

State Department dispatches today
forward reports that when Villa troops
evacuated Muzquiz, Mexico, thirty miles
north of Monclova. they took several
hundred horses from American-owned
ranches. Americans suffered no bodily
harm.
Reports from Piedras Negras confirm
the capture of MoncloVa by CarranZa
forces. and say that the entire district
there is under Carranza's control
France and England Interested.
J. J. Jusserand. the French amba ssa-
dor, and Colville Barclay, the British
charge d'affaires here, had conversa-
tions yesterday afternoon with Secre-
tary Lansing on the subject of Mexican
affairs. Ambassador Jusserand is un-
derstood to be particularly interested
at this time in CarranZa's proposal to
liquidate foreign claims if he is recog
nized, and Mr.. Barclay informed Mr..
, Lansing that orders had been sent to
British consuls in Mexico to consult
with United States consuls on the ad-
visa bility of Withdrawing from north
ern Mexico, if conditions there become
intolerable.
Following Mr.. Jusserand's visit to the
State Department it was unofhcially
said that it is unlikely that the ques-
ton OF Claims Will DC tdheH up ny the
United States government until after
government in Mexico is recognized.
The general financial ehabiIitation of
the country would follow recognition
rather than precede it.
From high official quarters it was
again said today. Notwithstanding re-
peated publications that Carranza is to
be recognized by the United States, that
no decision has been reached as to the
recognition of any government in Mex
leo. This subject will be considered,
however, by the pan-Amertcan peace
conferees in New York tomorrow. 1t is
said that before any decision is reach
ed as to recognition the conferees ex-
pect to hear the delegates from all the
Mexican factions.

US. TR00PSF FIRE
ON MEXICAN BAND
Army Officials on Border Fear
Independence Day"
Outbreaks.

BROWNSVILLE. Tex. September II.
Another fight between United States
soldiers and Mexicans was reported to-
day.
Near Sebastian last night four or
five men of the 26th Infantry saw an
equal number of Mexicans through the
open spaces in the brush at some dis
tance The Americans opened fire,
meanwhile advancing on the Mexicans.
This maneuver exposed the soldiers
to the direct fire from the partly CON
cealed opponents.
Mexicans Took to Heels.
The Mexicans ran when they saw the
soldiers were determined. and escaped
in the darkness soon after the fight
began.
That there are several parties of
bandits still attempting to operate in
this section was discovered twice yes
terday by men of the 26th Infantry.
The other encounter was brush with
Mexicans near Las Fresnos. IN which it
is believed that at least one of the
MeXicanS was wounded.
Army patrols kept close watch today,
fearing outbreaks in the way of morn
ing after effects of the celebra tion of
Mexican independence.

Col r. l.. Bullard. commanding the
26th Infantry at Harrington, said that
both today and tomorrow might be
regarded s critical periods.
The town of San Jose. twenty-five miles
up the Rio Grande from here, a settlement
composed exclusively of Mexicans, ap-
pealed for the protection of American
soldiers Col Bullard ordered a guard to
San Jose at once. The appeal from the
Mexicans for protection is an entirely new
development in the border situation. San
Jose men say they were all good Mexi-
cans there. and that they needed pro-
lection as much or more than Americans.

AS Moslem pilgrims are enJolned to visit
the cities of Medina and Mecca at least
once in their lives, the route now in use is
by way of the new railroad to Medina, re-
turn the same way and embark at Haifa or
Beirut for Jiddah on the Red Sea, which is
the nearest port for Mecca. The railroad
authorities have entered into contract with
the steamship line to have vessels in waiting
at Beirut and Haifa for the trains from
Medina. In this way immediate embarka-
ton is possible, and the pilgrims lose no time
Turkish government to extend the line to
Mecca ultimately, thus eliminating the sea
route altogether. At present the distance
from Medina to Mecca is twelve days by
camel through an arid desert, and pilgrims
as a rule prefer to return north and reach
Mecca by the sea route.
Until recently only first and third-class
cars were in use; but lately second-class
cars have been added, and commodious sleep
ing cars have been introduced for the benefit
of first-class passengers. For this accommo-
dation an additional charge of $40 is
made. All passenger cars are provided with
the necessary toilets, and fresh water is
carried on all cars. The trains make five
stops daily for sufficient length of time to
enable the Moslems to perform their re-
quired devotions. Comfortable dining
rooms are maintained at Derra and Maan,
and native bullets are provided at several
of the smaller stations.
The rate from Damascus to Medina and
return is S5095 for first class passage, $32.S4
for second-class, and S25.OS for third-class.
From June "a to October IS a special re-
duction of fifty per cent. is allowed on these
prices. Non Moslems are allowed to travel
only part of the way, entrance to Mecca
and Medina being rigidly prohibited to
them.

can arrange to keep a considerable part.
Each successive incubus orders departures
from the regime established by his predeces-

When the X-rav vision of the manager

journey of thirty-five to forty days: across
