NO RIGHT TO PROTEST. Berlin Tagcblatt Scores United statcs Action in Lusitania Disaster.

!. l. < = M
 Amsterdam, via London, May I a. 5:45 a. m.-Capt. Persius, writing hn. the Berlin Tageblatt regarding the United States note to Germany says: .If, in spite or the German admiral tvs warning against entering the war zone, American citizens entrusted themselves to the Lusitania the blame falls upon themselves and their gov- nment. Can America guarantee that neither guns or ammunition were on board, and further, that submarine when emerging, was not exposed to being rammed by the Lusitania? If the answer is in the negative as un- doubtedly it must be, the American government, after calm deliberation, will understand 1t has no right to raise 9 protest against the torpedoing of the Lusitania.
 The German government, we ex- pect, will have the firmness to retract no step and should in this case be. cer- tain of the approval of the entire peo- pie. We hope the lesson will be learned from the sinking of the Lusi- tania that no neutrals should entrust themselves to British ships or give them goods for transport"

UP TO UNITED STATES.

Berlin, via Amsterdam and Lon don, May 19, 3:54 a. m.-The voss- ische Zeitung says: 'If America suc- ceeds in bringing it about that Brit ish merchant vessels shall no longer sail under false flags, that England shall cease arming merchant vessels and that contraband cargoes shall no longer be protected by American pas- sengers, then the United States will find Germany on her side in an en- deavor to lead submarine war into more humane channels. If America fails to influence Great Britain thus, the United States will have to put up with submarine war as at present waged. She must take care that her citizens enter as little into the naval war zone as they would into the firing line near Arras, Lille or Przemysl.v

HOLDING OF MEXICO CITY EMPTY HONOR' Gen. Carranza Say It Has No Value from Military
 Standpoint.

Galveston, Tex, May 19.-A relia- ble statement of some of Carranza's military plans, coming from Carranza himself, was given out here today by an American who has just re- turned from Vera Cruz. Reports are frequent in Vera Cruz that Gen. Car ranza intends soon to remove his cap- ital to Puebla, then to retake Mexico City, and there permanently establish the constitutionalist government.
 Gen Carranza himself frankly gays he has no immediate intention of returning to Mexico City, notwith- standing the effect the return might have upon other nations. Carranza' g reasons for this, he says. are that the people of Mexico City are Sayi- tagonistic to him; that the city wUuid
 require a large garrison, whISl neees- sarily would take thousands of hi2 soldiers from active field work that
 Mexico City has no military advsn~ tage; that at Vera Cruz supplies are available from foreign countries and communication with the outside world cannot be interrupted.
 < This question recently was put to Carranza: The conclusion is drawn in some quarters in the United States that you being in Vera Cruz is an admission that you are not strong enough to hold the capital; that you sought port as a means of personal safety in case of defeat; is that true?"
 T am not conducting my campagin according to the views of foreign. CTS. replied Gen. Carranza. "The holding of Mexico City is an empty honor It has no value from a milf tary standpoint. We could take it with little effort if We wanted to- This is shown by the fact that our army under Gen. obregon is fighting north ward of the capital after having gone around it. When Gen. Villa is crushed in the north, Mexico City will fall into our hands without our fight ing for it."
 Gen. Carranza rarely appears in public. Fortified in lighthouse 300 feet from the bay and within sight of the American cruiser and gunboat usually lying off the harbor, the first chief remains secluded with his cab fnet members. Many persons here comment on this apparent aloofness as being in marked contrast to the cus- tom of former President Madero of giving audiences to his followers.

NURDERERS MAY HAVE
 BURIED STOLEN LOOT Krakas' Lawyer Makes Vain Attempt to Find Booty
 in Bridgeport.

Previous mystery concerning the recent visit to this city of David J. Reinhardt, the Wilmington lawyer who defended Peter Krakas at his trial. has been somewhat dispeiled by the knowledge that he came to New Britain only as a side trip, his prin- ,cipal reason, for visiting the Nutmeg state being to go to Bridgeport where he had been led to believe that Kras kas and Montvid, after their robbefL ies and murders in this ecti0ns4 1T the country, went to the Park 'ands buried large apantit, - loot there. ,7 " x E
 From Bridgeport comes the infor- nation that while there Lawyer Rein hardt carefully concealed his plans but it is said that he was provided with a rough map which was supposed to guide him to the hiding place Of the loot. The location, according to Reinhardt's map, was in 2 vacant lot near St. vincent's hospital, owned by a man named Michael Ford.
 Although the Wilmington lawyer and those in his employ worked a good part of ono dayfsdigging up the lot in an attempt to find the buried treasure their efforts we're in vain. Nothing was discovered. It is now thought that the story told by Krakas to the effect that he was member of gang may be true and that some other member recovered the stolen booty.
 When Lawyer Reinhardt came to this city he told local authorities that he had business in Bridgeport but did not go into detail. He also visit ed Montvid at the Hartford jail, but, according to Sergeant BaTnforth, made no reference to the buried loot. Today both Chief Rawlings and Sergeant Bamforth scoff at the idea that the supposed loot was that which was stolen from Father Zebris for it is we'll known that only a couple of watches and a few vaiueless trim kets were all the alleged murderers got for their pains. Their main ob- ject in visiting Father Zebris on the night of the murder, it is claimed, was to get money and failing in this alleged that they committed the double murder and then searched the house.
 Detective Sergeant Bamforth does not doubt, however, but that Krakas may have led his lawyer to believe that he had buried much stolen property in Bridgeport.

CLEVER HORSE THIEF
 flUDEs LOCAL POLICE
Arouses J. M. Finnegan's Suspicious By Refusing
 to Pay Bill.

How a slick horse thief evaded the New Britain police this morning was told the press today by J. M. Finne- gan, the Main street livery man. Al though MT. Ffnnegan notified the local police and also the Hartford authorities that he had been shelter ing stolen animals over night the New Britain officers did not arrive to pick up the trail until 1t was cold and the thief had departed with leaving his address. sss4
 Early last evening a we'll dressed young man drove into the livery stable with a Corning buggy and A span of tired horses. He left the team and himself went to the Hotel Beloin where he registered as Carl Burton of Springfield. Later he re-. turned to the stable with the avowed intention of getting an automobile from MT. Finnegan, but as the pro prietor was out he did not make known his wants.
 This morning Burton returned and hitched up his team, leaving hitch line and weight at the office with the t MT. Finnegan's suspicious had been aroused, however, and he demanded payment for the horses keep. Bur < ton demurred, then offered ta leave a couple of blankets as security. Still the liveryman was obdurate and in the end the. stranger left his team and departed, saying he would surely come back. 4f sl2f a ssSs4 s#f
 Immediately Mr. Finnegan notified Detective Sergeant Bamforth and some time later the Hartford police. Through the latter office he was in- formed that team answering the description of the one in his barn had been stolen from Ware, Mass, last light An hour or so later, when Detective Bamforth and Sergeant Herting visited the livery stable there was no sign pf the supposed thief and 9 Thorough search of the city failed to tdisclose him.

CHALMERS CARS STAND
 UP UNDER WAR TEST

LONDON, May 15.-The worth of the American made motor car IS steadily proving itself on the battle fields of Europe.
 Hundreds of cars have been sent across the channel to never return. While there they have been sent over the roads to the severest test ever before meted out to motor car. Among the large shipments that have stood up remarkably well have been a large number of Chalmers. These cars were hastily taken from the store rooms in London and with a stock body on them, pressed into service
 The English government was so pleased with the manner in which they stood up that they asked the English Agent Ernest E. LeVerett to come over and investigate the claims of the Chal- mers company with the view of piac- ing a larger order.
 MT. LeVerett made an extensive VlS- it to the plant and was greatly pleased with appearances. The force put cars through their paces and proved up all their statements. MT. Everett was to return to the old country on the ill., fated Lusitania but was detained at the last moment.

There was no time during this period when the law was not being violated in this respect. Some times the excess loans showed on the bank books and in other instances they were concealed by dummy notes of clerks of the bank.
 "The extent to which it's officers have been borrowing from the plain tiff bank under cover of dummies is not available to the departmment owing to their refusal to make re- ports on account of which penalties amounting to $5OO0 have been as sesscd against the collection of which is sought to be enjoined in this action.

 In addition to many actual viola tions of the law, in numerous ways the business of the bank has been conducted irregularly. It's officers and directors have borrowed heavily at one time as much as S761.63143 or approximately one fourth of it's entire capital stock and surplus: large loans have been made to clerks upon the security of stocks. some of which were hazardous and speculat- i've and its officers have engaged. in speculation in the stock market: the bank in the purchase of stocks for others has frequently carried stocks until purchasers were ready to settle ana calfled such stocks as the equi- Nalent of so much cash. this item amounting at one time to as much as Sf@'OOo; up to 1908 the bank ire quehtly loaned to officers of the u hlted states treasury department haNlnS to do with the supervision of it's affair.
