SAYS BROTHERHOOD
PUNISHED MEMBERS
C. C. PauIding Tells |. c. c. En-
gine Men Were Expelled for
Testifying for Roads.
HEARING ON HEADLIGHTS

At the outset of a hearing today be-
fore the interstate commerce commits
sion over the proposed requirement that
railroads equip locomotives with high
power electric headlights charges were
made by representatives of the road that
officers of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers had expelled members of the
order testifying favorably to the roads
and against the practicability Of the
high-power light.
I'VE have been taunted with the state
ment that we have been unable to get
engineers to testify for us in this case.
C. c. Paulding of the New York Central
told the commission. THE reason for
witnesses at previous hearings of the
commission for the railroads have been
expelled from the ORDER
Commission Limits Hearing.
Mr.. Paulding did not finish his ex-
PLANTATION, because the commission de-
cided to limit the hearing to testimony
regarding a test of the headlights made
on the New York Central in September.
A statement was given out by the
carriers, however, that William II.
Rother, Alexander E. Martin and John
T. Heller, three Indiana engineers.
were ousted recently under a provision
of the constitution Of the Engineers
Brotherhood providing such penalty
when a member "by verbal or written
interferes with its
legislative program or makes sugges-
tions detrimental to it. Rother. the
statement says, was tried by his local
after giving testimony favorable to the
roads, and when it sustained him W. 5
steps to abolish the local.

MEXICAN AMBASSADOR
AvERTS NEW FRICTION
State Department to Accept Dis
avowal of the Cabrera
Statement.

Acceptance by the State Department
today of an explanation by Mexican
Ambassador Arredondo denying the
authenticity of a statement over the
signature of Luis Cabrera assailing the
American government for permitting
aid to reach Villa from this side of the
border, was expected to close the incl
dent. The statement had threatened
serious friction between the United
States and Mexico.
Mr.. Arrendondo made known his pur-
pose last night of calling at the State
Department today to explain that the
statement was put out by an employe
of the Mexican news bureau. the de
facto governments semi-off1cial pub
licity agency. without the knowledge or
consent of either the embassy or Mr..
Cabrera. 1t was said in official circles
that this action undoubtedly wonld end
the whole incident.
Authenticity of Reports Denied.
While at the State Department under
specific instructions from his govern
ment, Mr.. Arrendondo says he will
deny the authenticity of what it is
understood will purport to be quota
tionS from Gen. Carranza, Gen. Obre-
gon, the Mexican war minister, and
Gen. Pablo Gonzales, commander of the
forces in Mexico City, rejecting strong
anti-American sentiments. which ap-
pear today in the Outlook Magazine.
The State Department had been TAX
ing a serious view of the statements
attributed to Cabrera, who. besides
being Carranza's minister of finance, is
chairman of the Mexican group of the
joint commission now sitting at At
lantic City. N. ]. The general feeling
was that if the statement was au-
thentic the usefulness of the commits
sion would be destroyed and conse-
quences of the most undesirable char
acter might result.
Bureau Employe Blamed.
The employe of the Mexican news bu-
reau on whom the blame is thrown by
these denials, and who gave out the
statement, presumably with authority,
is George F. Edmunds, publicity repre-
sentative of the embassy until the bu-
reau was organized. Edmunds asserts
that the statement was dictated to him
at Atlantic City by Cabrera, who au-
thorized him to make it public.
The bureau. set up some time ago,
with G. F. Weeks, formerly a press cen
sor for the Carranza government at
Mexico City, at its head. has been re-
garded as the semi official mouthpiece of
the embassy.
Weeks telegraphed Cabrera last night
disclaiming responsibility.

Methods Under Investigation.

If it be found desirable to provide
but one schol for each race. some
method of transportation must be pro-
vided, he said, whereby the children
can be safely and conveniently carried
to and from school.
With a view to the development of
plans, DR.. Woodward has been in
vestigating methods of caring for tu-
berculous children in other cities, in
Guiding Cleveland, Chicago, Milwau-
kee and Cincinnati. In each city there
is a fair-sized group of children in
the city sanatorium, and provision has
been made for their education at the
institution. No provision, he states,
appears to have been made for the CO.
incident education and medical care
and supervision of children excluded
from the schools. but not in the sana-
torium

With forty-one tuberculous children
already excluded from the Districts
public schools on account of an order
issued by the Commissioners the health
department is making a survey of the
situation to determine what provision
shall be made for them and others
that may be affected by the order.
The records of the department in No
vember, 1915, showed 1877 children of
school age suffering from communicable
forms of tuberculosis.
All these cases are now being investi-
gated, and as they are located and their
places of school attendance discovered
they are being excluded from school, If
their parents have not already with
drawn them.
When a detailed analysis of the cases
has been made. by race and age and
places of residence. it will be better

Official Washington considered that
America and Germany at last were
near final agreement regarding the
conduct Of submarine warfare. Off
Gals made no attempt to conceal their
cTatitication at the attitude Germany
apl AZ a1 tiy has assumed. It is cC--
si1ared to be virtually il harmony
with the American viewpoint.
Tension regarding the entire subma-
rine question seemed to have lessen
ed considerably. Austria, in it's re-
ply to the last Ancona note, having as
sured the United States of its inten-
tons 10 operate submarines with due
/ regard for International law and the
principles OF humanity; Turkey and
Bulgaria, it is understood, next will
take steps To give such guarantees.

This action will be taken to insure

The state department probably will
take up informally with the Italian
