SHIP CARRIES OFF
YUCATAN TREASURY
Suit Brought Here to stop
Former Governor From
Spending Money.
ASSERTS HE BANKED TT

The state OF Yucatan appealed to
the State OF New York for legal
aid In its share OF the troubled Mexican
situation yesterday, when an application
was made TO Supreme Court Justice
Shearn to restrain Gen. Abel Ortiz Argu-
Yucatan. from spending the contents
Of tho Yucatan treasury which he took
With him when ne sailed ava from
there last March.
The application was made in the name
of the State of yucatap through Manuel
Yrieoyen Lara. who was Secretary OF
State OF Yucatan at the same time
that Gen. Argumedo was Governor. and
who was sent TO this country to buy
arms and ammunition to enable Gen.
Argumedo to defend the State against
all outsiders. Although Gen. Argu-
medo's case was not presented In the
Supreme Court yesterday he told in
auirers than he did take the State OF
lucatan's cash balance. amounting to
SAP 900 In American gold, but that he
left II In the branch of the Royal Bank
OF Canada at Havana. Cuba, and that
money he Is o spending In New York
is part OF $4,000 of his own which he
took with him. He says he will take
back the funds when a stable govern
ment Is established.
Soon after reaching here In April Gen.
Aryumedo opened an office AS an inn
porter In the Times building. and estab-
lished his family IN an apartment at
l0l West Eighty-hfth street. Under a
temporary injunction already granted in

strained from honoring any checks OF

GEN. VILLAAND

OPEACE PLAN
Grave Situation Feared if
Carranza Refuses Assent
to Proposal.
RAIDERS ON BORDER
now IN UGLY MOOD

wAsHrSGroN, Aug. 1s.-villa has de-
clded to enter into a peace convention
with a view 20 the establishment of a
constitutional government In Mexico as
proposed in the Latin American note for
yarded to the Mexican chieftains last
week. Villas response will be formally
submitted 10 Secretary Lansing to-mor-
row. Il will be presented by Enrique C.
Liorente, Washington agent Of the 80
called convention Government OF Mexico.
Unofficial advices have been received
here 10 the effect that First Chief Car
ranza will respond by making a formal
request that the United states and Latin
America recognize the Constitutionalist
Government.
II is known that Zapata will acquie.ce
In the convention plan.
Gov. Comic of Lower California, Mex
leo. has also signifed his purpose of en-
tering the proposed peace convention.
Ills note to this effect will be handed to
Secretary Lansing tomorrow. At the
same time Mr.. Llorente, who will act for
both Villa and Comic. will present his
own reply TO the Pan-American note. Mr..
Llorente. who was among those invited
10 become parties to the peace c%onventio,
will formally notify the Secretary of
state that he is In accord with the plan
OF the United States and Latin America
70 assist Mcxicans to right the sover-
eighty of Mexico before the world.
Zapata Not Informed.
SO far as known Zapata has not re-
ceived the Pan-American note. Zapata
retreated to the mountains coincident
with the r~eoccupation of Mexico city
by Carrancista forces commanded by
Gen. Gonzales. Zapata left the capital
IN a hurry and failed to deposit a for
warding address. II Is known that
%courlers a " been sent out from Mexico
cty with a copy OF the peace note adj
dressed to him. Safe conduct of this
courier Is guaranteed by Gen Gonzales.
II % hoped the note will reach Zapata
this week.
1t Is the general understanding that
The response OF Carranza will be received
on or about August -. II Carranza re-
fuses 10 assent TO the peace proposal
OF the Pan-American conference, as now
seems assured. the Mexican question
may assume a graver aspect 80 far as
me United states Is concerned than Il
mas ~ any time In the last FIVE years.
All Top that Gen. Obregon, Car
ianzas commander-in-chief In the field.
would subscribe to the peace plan was
shattered to-day with the receipt OF an
'nter'ie" IN which Obregon is quoted
a. saying he vas opposed to peace on
any basis other thar the absolute sur
render OF the enemies of C%arranza.
ANY suggestion that l shall engage
N the peace conference is without foun-
dstion,' said Obregon, according to ad-
wees received here. ANY suggestion
OF a conference to which I would lend
ny support must be made by Car
ianEa."

Criminal Action Not Taken.


Senior Yrigoyen. who has lived In Me-
rida. capital of Yucatan, for forty-nine
years and il described az one OF the
leading citizens OF the state. brought his
action here in behalf Of the State through
former Assistant District Attorney John
Kirkland Clark. who said he did not
take the case until convinced OF the
standing OF Yrigoyen. The plaintiff ex-
planned that he was bringing a civil ac-
ton for an accounting rather than Grim
inal proceedings against Gen. Argumedo
because Yucatan at present has no re-
sponsfble government.
The petitioner said in his af'idavit
that Gen. Ar.umedo then got the idea
that the State should have a supply Of
arms and ammunition TO defend II against
C~arRanZistas. Nilllstas and other factions
OF Mexico. and he withdrew 1.lO0. 900
pesos from the Treasury. telling Yri-
gcyen 10 go 10 New York and buy all
the arms and ammunition he could get
for this sum. but did not give him the
money.
y~rigoyen says hat after reaching New
York. Gen. Argumedo began 20 spend
money lavishly. among other things buy
ing a $4,000 auto with his name en-
bossed on the machine. He is con-
WINGED that Argumedo is not spending
his own money because Yrigoyen says
he didn't have any.
The petitioner alleges that before Gen.
Argumedo left Yucatau he gave 200. ono
pesos to one Sonora LOretto Cantillo de
ManZanillo. who took the money and
went to Havana with Il.
Whether the Supreme Court OF New
York has power to act in the case will be
argued on September ..

Generally speaking, Mexicans en-
dcavoring to capture their own prop
crty at the American border have been
foredoomed to failure, They never could
tell just when their property was sched-
uled for movement. Controlling the only
railroad operating out OF Chihuahua,
villa and his band slipped much OF their
loot into the United States at unex-
pected times. and weeks after right
full owners would learn that their prop
erty had reached innocent third parties
and the thieves had received the cash.
Many villa assassinations are the re-
moval OF witnesses to crimes. He thu
effaces all evidence against him.
In New Orleans there In a large guam
tity OF cotton tied up In injunction suits
brought by determined Mexicans who
claim II is theirs. The blame for all of
this difficulty would seem to rest In the
SHORTCOMINGS of a Federal Government
that did not anticipate such conditions
arising out of its Mexican policy and
provide national legislation holding all
imports from Mexico at the border UNI
III proof of ownership was forthcoming.
Texas lawyers say that an order from
the Secretary OF the Treasury would
have done this and obviated the diff
culties. His refusal to act in the mat
