Washington, June 2S.--An immedl-
ate break with Mexico has been avert
ed by the compliance with the Ameri-
can demand for the release of TWEEN
ty-three troopers captured at Carri-
zlaI. Whether wEr is prevented or
rse<ely postponed none here attempt
to say tonight. Official information
as to Carranza's attitude is lacking.
Until Csrranza's reply to Lansing's
nate az sent Sunday is received there
will be 40 decision on whether Wilson
will lay the crisis before congress.
Press dispatches announcing the
release of prisoners caused undis-
guised relief here, and are accepted
as true, although no announcement
came through official sources. While
the tension is lessened somewhat, the
question Of Carranza's attitude to-
ward the Pershing expedition is still
unsettled. If Carranza stands upon
the orders to General Trevino to at
tack Pershing's men when they move
otherwise than towards the border
the situation is just where 1t was be-
fore. However, there is a possibility
of settling this question through ne
gotiations, which did not exist while
the Americans were held prisoners
Preparations of the United States fol-
war will go steadily forward.
IF any negotiations are taken UP
the United States will insist upon the
freedom of movements for Pershing's
expedition during any period of delay

Sent Her Money
Home. Came
Here. No Slavery

A hearing was granted w. j. DAVIS
Wednesday afternoon, and he was re
leased from custody of the United
States as the government failed to
make its case. He was arrested
Wednesday morning on a warrant
sworn out by Mr.. Sanders, of D,Lo,
Miss, charging him with violating
the Mann white slave act. Mrs. San
ders was the only witness in the case.
Mr.. Davis is a telephone lineman
and came here from Valosta, and has
been in the city several months. Mrs.
Sanders is a former resident of Pen
sacola and returned to the city sew
eral days ago.
In her testimony Mrs. Sanders
stated that her husband had not
supported her and that while in New
Orleans Davis sent her money to 20
home. Instead of going home she
came to Pensacola, where she became
involved in the difficulty, and the
case worked up by United States Com
missioner Davis, resulting in the
hearing.

HUTCHINS AND
DAVIS SUED
H. Weeke Brings Action for
$32, 900, Charging Neg
lect of Duty.

Suit involving $4,000 was insti-.
tuted Wednesday in the federal court
by H. Weeke against J. N. Hutchins
and E. 7. Davis, attorneys at law,
charging them with reckless neglect
OF duty towards him, as his attorneys,
in the conduct of certain law suit
involving real estate several years
ago, in an attempt to rescind a sale
entered into by w. S. Reeve for some
land near Cottage Hill Mr.. Weeke
alleges that he was sold the property
under gross misrepresentation, and
that after discovering the fraud he
engaged counsel to rescind the sale,
refund Weeke the money, and Reeve
the title of the property.
He then, according to the assertion
in the declaration, turned the case
over to ]. N. Hutchins and e. T..
Davis, to be appealed to the Florida
supreme court.
1t is upon the appeal made to the
supreme court and the results gained
by his counsel that he institutes the
present action.
In his allegations Mr.. Weeke, act
ing as his own counsel, states: 1.-THE
defendants had, in conflict with the
truth and contrary to the information
given them by the plaintiff brought
forth in their briefs the plaintiff
had fled, said damage suit, and that
fractional parts of their arguments
which was not inconsistent with and
contrary to the truth and the plain
tiff's right was contradicted by the
other part of their argument and was
therefore so weak, Indifferent and
void of any purpose to protect the
plaintiffs right and since no viola
ton of the federal constitution was
mentioned aforesaid, so entirely in
effective that the Florida supreme
court affirmed said decree"
He further asserts that the sub
stance of their argument was entirely
void of any real and proper effort to
protect and preserve the PLAINTIFF
rights in said case, and they exercised
their efforts far more to whitewasr
intent to protect the plaintiffs rights
Demurrers to the declaration have
been filed by the defendants and vii
be decided upon within few DAYS. Il
/ the demurrers are overruled the case
will go to trial at the November tern
of court.

RANKS OF PARADE
GROW RAPIDLY

The German-American Alliance has
written Chairman Hancock asking
that they be reserved space in the
preparedness parade. This was grant
ed, and the delegation will be- as
signed position as soon as final plans
are made.
With the rapidly swelling lists, diff
ficulty of caring for all the delega-
tions will probably be solved as it
was in New York, by assigning a
meeting place for each unit in some
side street, scheduled to join the
main column at that point as it passes.
The ladies of Pensacola are taking
great interest in the parade and prac-
tically every ladies' organization is
enlisted. The latest addition to the
ranks Is the Ladies Nest of Owls,
who will wear uniform dress of white,
carrying their individual badges of
their organizations.
A golf contest is announced for the
links, instead of driving exhibitions
in the park and all those who wish
to watch the game will be allowed to
leave the grounds and return upon
presentation of passes given cut fol
admittance.

TREvINo HAS ORDERED
RELEASE OF PRISONERS

Ell Paso, June 2S.-General Trevino
has ordered that all American pris-
oners interned in Chihuahua peniten-
tiary be taken to Juarez and released.
This information was received tonight
at Juarez commandments.
Mexican authorities asserted that
General Bell has been notified of Ire
who's order, and the prisoners are
expected to reach the border tomor-
row. Bell did not deny the report,
but refused to discuss it. It is said
any report on Mexican advices viii

ed to die on account of i'll health.
He also gave out a statement
to the newspapers claiming that
his wife worried about his finan-
cial troubles. Mrs. Fudge died of
poison before medical aid could
be summoned.
Fudge at one time was engaged
in large transfer and storage
business in this city, but lost con-
troll of his company and sold his
interest to his brother. He then
worked part of the time as a la
borer on a small salary, and the
children were insured in the Met
ropolitan Life Insurance company
Of this city, but officials of the
company were unable to give the
information until their books can
be examined. The Nashville SUI
perintendent stated tonight that
an INVESTIGATION would be started
in this city tomorrow.

New York, June Mobilization
