ZAPATA in OPEN
BREAK WITH VILLA
Southern Mexican Leader
Declares Rival Has VIC
lated Pledge.
by T.l.rraph % IN. Tribune !

FL Paso. Tex. Feb. 19.-By declaring
himself supreme in control in Mexico
General Francisco Villa has angered
General Emiliano Zapata, and will have
to fight for control Of territory in
Southern Mexico from which he with
drew when he evacuated Mexico City.
Advices from the south to-day say
the breach between Villa and Zapata
is as great now as that between Villa
and Carranza Zapata says he and Villa
agreed that neither should assume au-
thority and that Villa not only has
broken this promise, but has tried to
take territory which rightfully is held
by Zapstistas.
Zapata's effort to retske Mexico
City. the advices say, was due TO his
desire TO hold the capital against both
Villa and Carranza and to carry out
his original plan of establishing a gov
ernment over which he alone could ex-
crcise authority.

General Maclovo Herrera renewed to-
day his general attack on Monterey,
which is held by Villa troops, under
General Felipe Angeles. Reinforce
ments numbering 1900 men, under
Generals Higinio Olivo and Fortunate
Zuasuo. were added to Herrera's force
to-day, and the assault on the city is
being made from three sides with ar
tillery, cavalry and infantry.
Vera Clu. .dvices tonight say Gen
eral Obregon, the Csrranza commander
at Mexico City, has driven the Zsps-
tistas from all Of the suburbs with
heavy losses.
Zapata forces at Zoquitian and Te-
huacuan, near the city Of Pueblo, have
been attacked and routed by Carran-
zistIs under General Melssco Csvaza.
The Zapata troops were moving to re-
inforce Zspata's army before Mexico
CITY when they were attacked.
Official Carranza advices from Cen
eral Obregon say he is holding Mexico
City. and that conditions there are
rapidlv improving.

Use OF u. S. FLAG
UPHELD BY BRITISH
But Any Intention of Max
ing 1t a General Prac-
tice Is Denied.

London, Feb. 19.--Thc British For
eign Office this evening issued note
in reply to the representations OF the
United States government concerning
the use Of the American flag by British
vessels. Its salient passage is as tol-
lows: -.
The obligation upon a belhgerent
yarship TO ascertain definitely for itself
the nationality and character OF a mer-
chant vessel before capturing IL and, a
fortiori, before sinking and destroy ing
il has been universally recognized. III
that obligation is fulfilled. the hosting
of a neutral flag on board a British
vessel cannot possibly endanger neu-
trail shipping. and the British govern
mept holds that IL loss to neutrals Is
caused By disregarding this obligation
il is upon the enemy vessel disregard
ing and upon the government giving
orders that it should be disregarded
that the full responsibility for Injury to
neutrals ought 10 rest"
The following is the text OF the reply
OF Great Britain 10 the American note
as handed TO Walter Hines Page, the
American Ambassador, to-day:
The memorandum conn unicated on

BERLIN WOMEN
FIGHT FOR FOOD
Riot at Markets When Potato
Supply Gives Out AM
balances Called.
fBy Gable to The Tribune.

Copenhagen, Feb. 19.-Turbulent
scenes took place to-day in the Berlin
markets. Crowds of waiting would-be
purchasers found, ten minutes after
the opening, that potatoes were unob-
tainable. The frantic and famished
women, who formed a majority Of the
crowd, simply cleared the stocks from
the stalls without payment, seizing
other articles Of food exposed as we'll
as potatoes.
The interior Of the great building
soon looked like battlefield, and there
were many wounded, for whom smbu-
lances had TO be brought.
Fearing repetition OF these scenes,
the maximum price of potatoes has
been increased, - an 'inducement TO
farmers TO send in larger supplies.

u. S. NAVY COLLIER
TO PASS WAR ZONE
The Jason Due to Cross Area
Prescribed by German De-
cree in As Hours.
fFrcn The Trihunn Burssu.

Washington, Feb. l9.-Within the
next forty-eight hours a vessel OF the
United States navy, the collier Jason,
will traverse the war zone decreed by
Germany on her way from Barcelona,
Spain, to Bristol England, with an eI-
hibit for the Panama Pacific Exposi-
tion at SsE Francisco.
The Jason is the most modern type
Of collier shoat, and her lines are
peculiar and readily distiaguishable.
The Navy Department, therefore, is
not concerned as 20 her safety from
submarine attack, but is little afraid
that she may strike one Of the contact
mines. At the same time no orders
have been sent TO the Jason to change
her course.

FORTY SUBMARINES
NOW FIT FOR WAR
To Tribune's Disclosures Is
Credited Atlantic Flotilla's
Sudden Improvement.

Washington, Feb. 1S.-The nav" has
now more than forty submarines in
commission and ready for instant use,
either for msnGuvres or war, accord
inc to Secretary Daniels.
As late as last October the condition
of the submarine fotilla was such that
only single craft on the Atlantic sea-
board could be trusted to acquit her
self with anything like efficiency. This
fact was first pointed out in The Trio-
une and later confirmed by statements
from the commander in chief Of the
submarine fotilla and from Rear Ad.
mirsl Fletcher, commander IN cher OF
the Atlantic feet.
1t was these disclosures which. con-
centrated the work of the navy yards
on the rehabilitation Of the fotilla, and
to-day's announcement is the result.

BRITAIN TO MAKE
FOOD CONTRABAND
Decision Announced to
Take Wilhelmina Cargo
to Prize Court.

London. Feb. 19.~-The British gov
ernment announced to-day that it had
decided that the cargo Of the American
steamer Wilhelmina should be held for
the decision of the prize court.
The announcement of the govern
ment's decision was made by Sir Ed
ward Grey, the British Foreign Secre-
tary. Il seems to make clear the pur-
pose Of Great Britain to declare all
foodstuffs for Germany contraband, as
we'll as to foreshadow other reprlsals.
In his note Sir Edward Grey, after re-
viewing the German methods OF war
fare and denouncing them as absolute
violations Of cll international usages,
says:
"If. therefore. his majesty's govern
ment should hereafter feel constrained
TO declare foodstufs absolute contra
band or to take other measures Tor m
terferinc with German trade by way OF
renrisals. they confidently expect that
such action will not be challenged on
the part of neutral states by appeals
TO laws and ussges of war whose valid
itv rests on their forming an integral
mart of that system of international
doctrine which, as a whole, their enemy
frankly boasts the intention to disre-
card, so long as such neutral states
cannot compel the German government
to abandon methods of warfare which
have not in recent history been regard
ed as having the sanction of either law
or humanity ,.,,
Great Britain's reply on the Wilhei-
nina case, which was handed to-day to
Walter Hines Page, the American Am
bassador, was as follows:
"The communication made by the
United States Ambassador in his note
to Sir Edward Grey, of the 10th inst,
has been carefully considered and the
following observations are offered in
reply:

eminent gave directions for the seiz-
ure of the cargo Of the steamship Will

OUT OF P. 5. {.
STAR CHAMBER
Associates Clipped His
Authority, Declares
Commissioner.
WILLIAMS TOOK
SECURITIES WORK
Millions Involved in Gas and
Electric Cases Decided by
Inner Circle"

How he had been deprived OF some
Of his most important work IN the
Public Service Commission and limited
in his participation in the private con-
ferences was told by Commissioner
Maltbie to the legislative investigating
committee yesterday.
In the last year, the Commissioner
said, Chairman Mccall had taken away
from him a number Of cases, includ-
ing those pertaining to the issuance OF
new securitiess matter in which he
is considered an authority. The latter
were turned over TO Commissioner
Williams, who was said TO have as
serted that the commission wanted a
charge in the method of handling
them. Mr.. Maltbie declared the care
full principles he had worked out had
been violated. and he felt constrained
to write dissenting opinions when the
cas-. came before the entire commits
sion.
Despite that fact, the Commissioner
did a good deal OF work, as indicated
by his own figures, which showed that
out Of 900 hearings in the last six
months OF 1914, 1l5 had been held by
him. Out Of forty-ninc opinions hand
ed down twenty-eight were credited 10

Then there was the "freeze out
from the confidential relations with
the other commissioners. In the last
three or four months. the witness said
Chairman Mccall and Commissioners
Wood and Williams had got into the
habit Of holding private conferences "a
which he had not been invited and
as TO the details OF which he has had
no information. 1t was the inner
circle" according to William hay
ward. counsel for the committee.
Overnight Mr.. Maltbie had changed
his views as TO when the work OF con-
structing the new subways might be
taken out of the hands of the commls-
sion and turned over to another BODY
On Thursday the Commissioner testl-
fed that. while in theory the CITY
should do its own construction WORK. ne
did not think it a good idea to take IL
ont of the hands of the commission
until the present dual system was near
ing completion. Yesterday he volun-
tarilv stated that he had learned that
the work of drawing plans for the new
work was so far advanced that it might
be done within NV months surely IN
six months. In reply to questions, ne
then said he did not see why the con-
struction work could not be put in the
hands of a separate board to be ap-
pointed by the Mayor within a short
time.
Some persons thought this might
signify that Mayor Mitchell, with whom
the Commissioner is close on transit
matters, had decided he was prepared
TO take over the construction work. A
report spread around that they had had
a talk overnight. This was denied by
both officials, however, and it is under
stood the Mayor is still not convinced
that he wants to run the risk of assum-
ing the responsibility for not delaying
the completion Of the subwsys by
taking control of the work through q
board TO be named by him.
