ing other than hopefulness for the
constitutionalists' cause and it was Of
ficially announced today that his reply
to President Wilson would be handed
to John r. Silliman, personal repre-
sentative of President Wilson in Mex
leo for transmission to Washington
within the next few days, probably on
Monday or Tuesday.
Feelinf of Confidence Created.
AS the note has been read more
and more by Carranza officials and
members of his cabinet, it has Great
ed a feeling that President Wilson in
tende dno harsh action toward Mexico.
A distinct feeling prevails that
more definite attitude at Washington
will result in fastening a solution of
the Mexican problem without foreign
aid. How this is to be done nobody
processes to know, except General
Carranza himself and he expresses the
opinion that his intended re-occupa-
ton of Mexico City soon will place the
constitutionalists in a better position
to be recognized by the Washington
government.
Reply being Formulated.
That General Carranza intents to
reply to President Wilson caused some
surprise, as it was at first felt that the
warning did not invite a reply. How
ever, when Mr.. Silliman called at the
lighthouse today he was informed that
a reply was being formulated by Jesus
Urueta, constitutionalist foreign min
lister. 1t was stated that the tone of
the reply would be appreviatiVe
friendly and serene. What General
Carranza found in the note as a basis
for his encouragement was not stated
but it was learned that he intends to
interpret the warning as a tacit hint
that he is the man best fitted to as
sumo ascendancy in Mexico and most
likely to receive recognition once the
constitutionaliStS return to Mexico
City.
1t is understood that the reply will
point out steady progress by the
constitutionalists, Indicating an early
victory over Villa. Also General Car
rama will point out that American
recognition would greatly expediate
peace in Mexico.

How Mistake Was Made.
Blame for the attack on the Gulf

when the crew took to the boats i'm

The expressions Of regret and offer
of reparation in today's note follow

recently sent to neutral nations by

of attacking neutral vessels carrying

FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION
CONCLUDES ITS HEARINGS
Regarding Combination of Manufac-
turers to Compete in Foreign Mar
ketS,

New York, June 4-The federal
trade commission concluded its hear
ings in this city today after a number
of business men had appeared before
it and given their views regarding the
proposal to permit American manu-
facturers to combine for the purpose of
competing in foreign markets, princi-
palIy in South America, with exporters
of other nations.
With a few exception, all of the wit
neSses, who were connected in one way
or another with the export business,
agreed that exporting combinations
were necessary if competition abroad
was to be successful. Such combina-
tions, it was suggested, might fix for
eign prices and divide among their
members the expense attendant upon
the marketing of goods. The general
opinion seemed to be that such COM
binations would not in any manner
affect domestic prices. Many of the
witnesses said they believed such CO.
operation was impossible unless the
Sherman ANTITRUST law should be
amended,

DAVID LLOYD GEORGE TO
EMPLOYERS AND WORKMEN.
Urges That Union Regulations Be Sus-
pended for Duration of War.

London, June 4, 9.25 p. m.-Continu-
ing his campaign for the organization
of the munition trades of the country
and the speeding up of the output of
shells and other war materials required
by the army, David Lloyd George, the
new munitions minister, addressed
meetings here today of employers and
workmen.
He urged upon the workmen that for
the duration of the war union regula-
tions should be suspended, so that
every available man and woman could
be employed in the necessary work.
IF every trade unionist," Mr.. Lloyd
George told the workmen, was
brought back from the front, and if
they worked to the utmost limits of
human endurance, there would not be
enough labor to produce what the gov
ernment is asking to have produced
during the next few months.''
Mr.. Lloyd George added that, as gov
ernment red tape had been cut, the
trade unionists also must relax their
rules. The country, he said, was de-
manding as a matter of right, and not
as matter of appeal, that every one
of its citizens should do his best, and
he did not believe that there was amy
objection to it being made a legal
right and duty.

The arrival of a communication from
the German government today ex-
pressing regret for the attack on the
American steamer Gulhight, offering
to pay indemnity as soon as claim is
presented and details arranged and
making a further promise to take into
consideration any facts which the
United States may have on the drop
ping of bombs by Germen airInen upon
the American steamer Cushing, made
unnecessary any discussion of these
cases in the new note to Germany. The
United States had not, for that mat
ter, been disposed to discuss in thel
new note any of these cases. Wheni
the principles Of the main issue-thes
submarine warfare on merchant ships
are settled, the Lusitania and FaIabaI
cases, in which more than 100 Ameri-i
cans lost their lives, will be taken up.
Secretary Bryan had a private con-
ference with President Wilson before.
the cabinet meeting began. Counsellor.
Lansing, who had prepared some Of
the memoranda on which the new notei
is based, was invited by the PRESIDENT
to sit at the table and advise on points!
of international law which might arise.
Cabinet Meeting Lasted Two Hours.
The meeting lasted two hours and at
its conclusion all the members, it was
said, had agreed to the principle set
forth in the note 1t was stated that
the sending to Emperor William by
Count Won Bernstorff, the German
ambassador, or Meyer Gerhard, an at
tache of the German colonial office, as
special envoy to carry messages from
the embassy and to outline the Amer
lean point of view to the government
at Berlin would not delay the despatch
of the American note.
In German quarters here, however, it
is expected that the reply will bel
withheld until Gerhard has arrived and
eXDl9ined the situation This If ia
estimated, will take at least fort
night, as the boat on which the envoy
sailed would not bring him to Denmark
much sooner.

LOOKING FOR MAN WHO
SAID LUSITANIA WAS ARMED
Agents of Department of Justice Un-
able to Find Him.

New York, June 4.-Agents of the
department of justice, on instructions
from Washington, began an investi-
cation here today into the antecedents
of Gsutave Stah1, the German who
made an affidavit submitted to the
state department by the German en-
bassy, that the steamship Lusitania
carried guns. Two representatives of
the department went to the address
he gave in his affidavit and spent a
half hour there. Stahl was not there,
nor had he been seen there since yes
terday. His trunk and hand luggage,
it was said, had apparently been
packed in preparation for departure.
The agents refused to say what they
had discovered. At the Offices here
of department of justice it was ex-
planned that the purpose of the in
vestigation was merely to gather all
information available concerning
StahPs activities. for transmission to
the state department
Stahl is said to have done work
for the German imperial consulate in
this city and for Captain Boy-Ed, the
German naval attache. He came here
before the war, it is said, from the
German protectorate in Kiao- Chow
where he was attached to the Office of
the German commander at Tien- -Tsin.

NOMINATING LETTER IN
BARKHAMSTEA MURDER CASE
Alleged to Have Been Written by
Williams to Roe's Mother in Poueh-
keepsie.


Litchf1eld, Conn, June 4.-Owing to
the inability of Chief of Police Nc
Cabe of Poughkeepsie, n. Y, and 9TH
er witnesses to arrive in time, ad-
journment was taken this afternoon
until Tuesday morning, in the trial
of Issaac n. Williams and Harry Roe
of Poughkeepsie, who are charged
with the INJURED of County Commits
sioner Hubert B. Case at Barkham-
sted last November.
Despite the vigorous objection of
counsel for the defence, the court ad-
mitted to evidence a letter purported
to be written by Williams to Roe's
mother at Poughkeepsie. The letter
read in part: Il have received three
Poughkeepsie papers. 1 have read
about the trouble Harry got into at
New York. 1 cautioned him against
tkking jewelry such as watches and
rings. They are easy to get but, hard
to get rid of. l told him never to
take anything but money. I am sor-
ry he got into this trouble for L have
spent twelve years in prison myself.
1 told Harry to send me the name and
address of the one who caused him
to fall. When 1 was down near New
York a short time ago, l got a bullet
through the shoulder and I am pretty
sick. l know the fellow that shot me
and what 1 will do to him will be
plenty. Don't tell anybody my ad-
dress I don't see why Harry gave
his name as David Williams when he
got into trouble or said anything
about Winsted.''
Counsel for the defence also object
ed to the introduction of Mr.. Cases
pocketbook as evidence, but the OBJ
lection was overruled.
Roe auppeared in court wearing a
crimson rose in the buttonhole of his
coat. He whistled merrily when be-
ing taken to and from the court house.

Washington, June 4. - President
Wilson read to his cabinet today the
draft of a note to be sent to Germany
demanding, in effect, an adherence by
that nation to the humane principles
of international law in the conduct Of
maritime warfare as affecting neutrals.
Comparatively brief, but described as
insistent and emphatic, the communi-
cation will be cabled not later than
Monday for presentation by AmbaSsa-
dor Gerard to the German foreign min
lister DIR. Won Jagow.
Minor Changes in Phraseology.
The cabinet approved the note as
whole. Minor changes in phraseology
may be made within the next two days
as it is revised in detail to conform
with previous expressions in diplomatic
correspondence of the United States.
The principle is fixed and unalterable
that the United States must know
definitely and very promptly whether
Germany intends to ignore visit and
search rights and continue her prac-
tice of torpedoing vessels without
warning placing the lives of non-com-
batants in jeopardy, or whether rules
of maritime warfare which have gov
erned for centuries will be followed.
The alternative course is not stated,
but it is now generally known that the
United States in the event of an I'M
favorable reply will discontinue diplo-
matte relations with Germany.
Lusitania Claims.

the contentious of the German reply
