MEXICO CITY, April 1.-General Pablo Gonzales, the military com mander here, issued a warning tonight to the merchants of Mexico City and surrounding towns threatening pun ishment of the most severe and most exemplary form should they persist in maintaining the high scale of prices which has been effective during the past month. The warning is to be pub lished in the press tomorrow and spread over the walls of the city in the form of circulars. The circular says:
 "Since the first chief of the con- stitutionalist army in charge of the ex- ecutive power has preoccupied himself with the situation which the people of Mexico face because of the excessive and unjust rise ,in the prices of first necessities, he has instructed and au- thoriZed me to act with the minister of the interior and the governor of the federal district to relieve the grave situation. Ordinarily these headquar- ters concern themselves wholly with military matters, although they have been cogniZant for some time of the
 grave economic conditions facing the people.
 Now that the first chief has ordered it, headquarters will relieve the peo- pie who have been driven almost to des-

PREMATURELY FOUND DUMMY

SAN QUENTIN, Cal, April l. James Hurley who is serving a 15- year sentence from Stockton for bur glary made an unsuccessful attempt to escape from the state penitentiary here today by leaving dummy to represent him in his cell and then hiding in the jute mill where there are no guards at night and from which escape would be a simple matter of wall scaling.
 The dummy was discovered before the o'clock lock up and short search led to Hurley being found under a pile of sacks.
 Hurley was one of the leaders of the San Quentin bread riots in 1912 and in the 1913 escape from the prison and enjoyed his liberty for month when he was recaptured at San Jose.

TRepublican A. P. Leased Wire1

CLEVELAND, Ohio, April 1-Blame for the New York Central wreck at Amherst last Wednesday in which
 28 were killed and 40 injured was placed on Herman Hess, engineer of
 the second section of train No. S6. which crashed into the first section
 while running 50 miles an hour through a dense fog, by D. c. Moon, general manager of the company in an official statement issued tonight. The fixing of the blame, says MT. Moon, was determined by the rail-
 roads own investigation and corrob- orated by the evidence adduced at the hearing conducted by the l. c. c. and the Ohio Utilities Commission which
 ended today.
 The joint federal-state investigation has been concluded but their findings will not be made public until later.

1915. The Queen Elizabeth has been heard from during the Dardanelles op- erations. Beyond this, however, little is known, and there is rarely a refer ence to thse formidable ships, although it is officially definite they were com pleted at the times stated, and must now be somewhere afloat with their formidable 15-inch batteries. These ships were not primarily the ones un- der discussion in the recent debate, as they are completed, but the Queen Elizabeth was referred to as the type of later ships around which the de- bate really centered
 Two more capital ships of the Queen Elizabeth class were provided in the 1914 estimates, namely, the Agincourt and the Renown; and two more of the Royal Sovereign class, with slightly less tonnage, namely, the Repulse and the Resistance. The first two were to be 27,50O tons, the others of 25,75O tons. All were to have 15-inch main bat teries with F to 16 6-inch guns, anti aerial guns, etc. The Agfncourt was to be built at Portsmouth, the Renown at Fairfield, the Repulse at the Pal mer yard, and the Resistance at Dey- onport. These were part of the ships under discussion in the debate. Ex- cept for the foregoing known informa- tion as to their authorization, size, pow CT, etc, nothing more is known of them, officially or otherwise, and quite prop erly as matter of necessary reserve. All that is known is that the Agin- court and her big sister ships were provided for, but no further reference has ever been made ,p them.
 Five more big new dreadnoughts were provided in 1914, namely, the Royal Sovereign, Royal Oak, Resolu- tion, Families and Revenge. These have since become known as the Royal Sovereign class" The capital ships were to be of 25,750 tons, with eight or ten 15-inch main guns and 12 six-inch. The first two, the Royal Sovereign and the Royal Oak, were ac- | tually completed, the first at Ports
 mouth in December, 1915, and the Roy
 al Oak at Davenport at the same time I The Resolution, Families and Revenge
 were, according to the last information permitted in Jaynes summary, build
 ing at the Palmer, Beardmore and 1 Wicker yards, and to be completed in

 NEW YORK. April 2.-What pur- ports to be a formal confession by Dr. Arthur Warren Waite that he murd- cred his father law John E.. Peck of Grand Rapids is printed this morn ing by the New York World. The confession is said to have been con- tained in a letter sent to the news paper by Waite. Accompanying it is another letter signed by Walter Rog- CTS Deuel, Waite's counsel in which he is quoted as saying Waite desired to make his statement "to unburden his soul somewhat from the heavy load upon it as the only thing he could do in atonement."
 The letter said to have been signed by Waite follows in part:
 q have been informed that I have been indicted for the crime of murder in the first degree. I know the pun ishment is death.
 "The indictment is just and the penalty is one that I deserve, for have killed John E. Peck.

|NTERM0UNTA|N RATES CASE |S. NOW UP AGAIN
Republican A. P. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, April 1.-The cele-
 brated intermountain rates case, be-
 gun in 1911 and disposed of three
 years later in the supreme court.
 was reopened today by the Interstate
 Commerce Commission on petition of
 the Spokane Merchants Association
 and the Nevada railroad commission.
 Hearings will begin here April "A and a decision will be rendered as speed fly as possible.
 The case involves the railroads right to charge higher rates on a
 wide range of commodities, includ- ing many staples, from Atlantic coast cities to points west of Dem yer than are charged on the through haul from coast to coast. Pacific coasr points now enjoying low through rates to the disadvantage, it is claimed, of intermediate points
 between Denver and the Pacific, are San Francisco, Seattle, Portland for Los Angeles.
 Radical changes in transportation tends, due mainly to the war in Europe and the closing of the Pan-
 anna Canal by slides have eliminated competition between transcontinental railroads and steamship lines the petitioners assert, so that there nc longer is any justification for dis eliminating greatly against interior points on the plea that such compe- titiOn has to be met.
 The iptarCtat oODnp,oroa ,;s, sion has conducted prelim mary investigation of this claim and it's results are said to have showr | there was some ground for the con- tention. The chief claims investigat- ed were:
 Their traffic between the Atlantic and Pacific coasts by way of the Panama Canal has ceased for months because of the closing of the cana and that when it is resumed the
 number of vessels engaged will be greatly reduced;
 That steamship rates have increas. ed greatly since the war started ant that rates via the canal will be SC high, when traffic is resumed, as tC
 make competition with the railroads negligible;
 That present all-water traffic be. tween Atlantic and Pacific coast points, diverted to the long cruise around South America, is incense quential in volume, high in cost, un- profitable in operation, even at pre- vailing rates, and affords practically
 no real competition with the trans. continental roads;
 That maintenance of lower through | rates from coast to coast works tt | the disadvantage of points in the in
 terior intermediate country.

'1 have arranged for a conference with Secretary Lansing regarding the English embargo on canned and dried fruits" said Jacobs tonight. I re- ceived recently an official copy of the embargo. It was dated March 10 and made the embargo effective and complete on March 13. The procla- nation does not mention any date for resumption of trade.
 "The situation generally presents very disastrous features and will be a serious blow to the fruit industry of the state"
 In view of the fact that the canned and dried fruits in Great Britain prac tically will be exhausted before the summer is over. according to Jacobs in- formation, he feels that the present em- bargo will be modified soon.
