AYL.I. VOTE
FAVORS STRIKE
Union Leaders Believe
Railroad Men Want Gen.
eral WaikOut.

Ninety-nine per cent Of the conduc-
tors, engineers, fremen and other
trainmen of the Long Island Railroad
have cast their votes in favor OF .
general strike, il Is estimated By un-
ion leaders. The ballots all have been
taken, and are under lock and key in
the Broadway Central Hotel, where
the counting will be begun Wednesday.
The estimate of the percentage favor
ing a walkout rests on verbal canvasses
among train crews.
Representatives Of the railroads con-
fessed last night that the estimate Oh
SO per cent could easily be correct,
pointing out that in the four strike
votes taken among the Long Island men
since 1912, from 92 TO 81 per cent had
voted to quit work il their demands
were not granted. Seven thousand
men are in the Long Islands employ.
That in the event OF strike the Long
Island will do everything to fight of
complete tie-up OF the system became
evident last night from a statement OF
one Of the lines representatives.
There should be no difficulty" he
asserted, "in manning and running
every one Of the Long Islands sched-
ulcd trains with the company's clerical
and shop force. OF the 1000 employees
few more than 1000 are members OF
the four brotherhoods voting on the
strike. From the other 5000 train
crews could easily be recruited.
That the men not actually employed
in the operation OF trains are willing
to step in is indicated clearly by vote
taken recently by the Pennsylvania
among its clerical and shop employees.
More than $4,000 OF these gave their
pledge to take up work on trains IN the
event Of a strike. Tho Long Island has
not taken such q vote, am told. but
the Same number in proportion would
pledge themselves TO man the trains,
l. can be said with certainty"

TWO lfEN ARRESTED
IN BROOKLYN MURDER
Shooting ARRAY Said to Have
Been Caused by Woman.

Two men are under arrest for the
murder Of Matto Lavincio, twenty-one,
Of 519 Second Avenue, Manhattan, who
was shot to death in q gangsters' feud
al Rodney and Grand Streets, Williams
burg, late Friday night. The prisoners
are Anthony Bace, twenty-four years
old, of 466 Metropolitan Avenue, and
Sandy Latori, nineteen years old, Of So2
North Seventh Street. Coroner Wagner
held them without bail to await the in
vestigation instituted by the detectives
Of the 7th Branch Bureau.
Coroner Wagner yesterday took the
ante -mortem statement Of Max Her
mann, twenty-six. clothing salesman,
of 493 East 10th Street, The Bronx,
who was shot in the abdomen and chest
by stray bullets in the shooting aftray.
Hermann is in the Williamsburg Hos
pital. The doctors say he cannot live.
The police learned that the trouble
started over the treatment q woman
was receiving from one Of the muir
dered mans companions as they sat In
q confectionery store at 395 Grand
Street. The argument became heated
and the men walked TO the street and
started firing. The police believe that
Lavincio owned one of the revolvers
found near his body.

BY ROBERT II. R0HDE.

McAllen, Tex, July 20 (Headauar-
ters 9Th Field Division. U. S. Az
Clark J. Martin, mounted orderly with
the Fighting 69th." heard his last
taps sound this afternoon. At noon the
triphammer beat of his heart-that
mavellously strong fighting heart
which had kept him alive for five days
through an oddly combined attack of
sunstroke and pneumonis-died to a
murmur. Three hours later II had
stopped altogether. This ended
struggle. with death on one side and
Martins pugnacious sub-conscious ego
and the lst Field Hospital Company
allied on the other, which the entire
New York division of the National
Guard had been watching since Tues
day.
Martin, who made n remarkable rslly
after last rites had been administered
and surgeons had given up hope, died
literally of starvation. An hour after
the regiment detrained at Mission he
had become unconscious. and not since
then had the doctors snd nurses about
him been able to get sufficient nourish-
ment into his system to sustain him.
Heart Almost Won Fight.
All that kept Martin alive was his
heart, which pumped steadily on. DR..
Harvey, Of New York, private in the
hospital company, and four medical
students from Cornell University who
had been acting as nurses, Merwin Mar
bland. Hartley Dewey, Morton Rider
and Alfred Potter, were with Martin
when the end came.
News of Martins death was kept
from the forty-three other patients IN
the hospital through fear il might af-
feet their own recovery. Those with
less serious Affections had been TAX
ing a lively interest in the case.
Martins all right; getting on
great" they kept telling the rest
"Sure, just couple of days and likely
enough he VIII be able to sit up and
read that letter from his wife that
Father Dufy's got for him" So they
kept the pretense until o'clock, when
team from the 12th Regiment met the
field hospital baseball nine on the
scratchy, cactus-strewn camp diamond
west Of the Req Cross flag. Then while

DENIES GERMANY HAS
INFLUENCED MEXICO
Carranza Minister Lays Reports
10 Financial Interests.

Paris, July 22.-J. Sanchez Ancona
ths new Mexican Minister 70 France
made declaration to the French press
to-day in which he denies absolutely
hat Germany has had the slightest
influence upon the Mexican govern
nent's policy toward the United States
Hs declares that the difficulties exist
ing between the United States and
Mexico are happily in process Of soiu-
ton.
Senior Aneona asserts that the re-
ports OF Germany's secret relations
with the Mexican government have
been invented by certain well known
financial circles which have fabricated
,.legrams announcing TO Europe that
me hidden hand Of Germany directed
Mexican foreign politics" General
Carrsnza," added the minister, has
several times and quite recently made
formal declarations on this subject"
/; is equally false, declares the
diplomat, that German officers have
been enrolled in the Mexican army, or
that arms have been supplied by Ger
many through Intermediates in the
United States or SouM America.

"Ycs, he got along so we'll we
thought II wouldn't be dangerous to
send him on to San Antonio" was the
official explanation, and so II will
stand, for q day or two at least.
Had Martin been able to pull through
another day, according to Captain j.
G. Dunseith, of the field hospital COM
pany, he would have had An excellent
chance Of recovery. As II was, his
heart kept him alive until his lungs
were almost clear.
No Cot for Stricken Man.
Martin had been lying on the ground
under q mosquito bar, naked, for the
field hospital has few cots. II rained
heavily last night, but Or. Dunseith
says he does not believe either damp
or chill hastened the orderly's end.

DR.. Thomas B. Darlington, former
Health Commissioner of New York
City, who is here with letters from
General Wood and General Funston,
letters which call upon subordinate
ooficers to show him every courtesy,
and which are tsken by some 70 indi-
cate he is investigating partly on their
behalf, made his inspection Of the New
York camps to-day. He noted short
age of water in the cavalry and artil-
lery camps. and even saw some artil-
lerymen brushing their teeth with
bottled mineral water.
Fresh Vegetables Lacking.
In conversation with officers he com
mented on the fact that camp cots have
not been issued TO the men and on the
lack Of fresh vegetables in the ration.
The findings of the first general
court-martial, made public this evening
serve to show how great change fed
erslzation made in the status OF the
guardsmen. Private Henry Scheiner,
of the 1st Field Artillery, who bit a
fellow private, assaulted corporal
and tried to escape from the guard
house was sentenced to serve year In
the Federal penitentiary at Fort leav-
enworth, dishonorsbly discharged, and
forfeits all pay and allowances.
Richard S. McCartie, private In the
same battery who was found asleep at
his post, forfeits pay and allowances
for two months.

were not sent TO the Mexican border
instead Of some of the regiments al
ready there. He said in part;
"At the time Of the Presidents call
all of our organizations were under or
ders for state mobilization, which
was to have taken place at Camp Whit
man from July to %. To be pre-
pared for any eventual situation, all OF
our units were ordered out IN response
to the Presidents call.
at was no easy matter TO select from
among twelve organizations, all equally
eager for service, the nine regiments 10
form part Of the divisional orraniza-
tion. Many circumstances had 70 be
taken into consideration. Not the least
by any means, consistent with the
obligation TO the Federal government,
was the retention of an adequate force
within the state for any contingency
that might arise here.
"The decision was based upon the
geographical location Of the separate
Companies, constituting the 1st and
10th Regiments, distributed, as they
are. along the northern, central and
southern portions of the state: The lst
Regiment, from Binx9lmton, through
, Central and Northern New YORK. to
/ Ogdensburg and Malone on the north !;
the 10th, from Albany. along the Hud-
son Valley to Mount Vernon, White
Plains and Flushing ..
"These organizations, 80 situated,
afford the maximum protection in case
of any contingency that might arse
requiring the use Of a military force
within the state. The western water
way boundary lines of the state are
adequately protected by the naval
militia. New York City. and vicinity,
in addition TO two battalions of naval
! militia, have the three large coast de-
fence commands, and the 47th Regi-
ment was retained, with headquarters
in Brooklyn.
81 know it is a disappointment to
the officers and men of these regi-
ments who desire TO have g part IN
all that is going on at the border, to
be held here at home. but personal
consideration must give way to mil
itary necessity"

General But. was in command Of a

during the preparation Of 1898. Be
cause of his experience his opinions
are accepted by both guard and army
as of peculiar value.
"Could anything be more scandalous
than 10 take green men off the streets
natriotic men, anxious TO fight for their
country-and send them to the border
some half equipped and some with no
equipment" he demanded. "What IS
