The Conference Surprised

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Oct. 2S.- The statement issued at Washington today credited to Luis Cabrera was read by the American members of the Mexican American joint commission with astonishment and some incredul- ity. MT Cabrera, head of the Mexican commission, left here yesterday for New York The conference will be re- sumed Monday.
 Charges that there are in this coun try persons who have availed them selves of loopholes in the laws to aid various Mexican bandits, and that smuggling of arms and ammunition in- to Mexico has been conducted on large scale, have been made before the commission by the Mexican represen- tatives and have been discussed at length.
 Secretary of the Interior Lane, chair man of the American commission in- sisted tonight. however, that at no time have the Mexicans accompanied their charges with language such as that credited to Mir. Cabrera. The Americans said that always the Mex | jeans have used guarded language in support of their claims especially | those relating to the smuggling of arms and munitions and the machinations of l i placed before the commissioners evil | dence tending to show where and how smuggling has been done and the ques- | ton of the vigilance exercised by l American authorities both local and

erty rights all are destroyed,
 The conservatives, reactionaries, are taking advantage of the situation creased by the ultra radicals. The inn portation of arms and munitions for the use of Villa. Sapata and the upper bandits and brigands is conducted un- der the very eyes of supine officials whose business it would be to hinder their transmission across the border.
 That the American government is competent to restrict and restrain the eXportation of arms and munitions is probable by the fact that during the early days of the Carranza revolt against the usurper Huerta, these laws were enforced with an almost cruel rigidity against CarranZa.
 The law governing the conduct of undesirable aliens can be enforced if proved at Ellis island and throughout the U. S every day in the year
 Activity, energy, vigilance and pa tience can correct the situation. h. difference, carelessness and needless liberality can only make a bad case Worsee
 It was said at the bureau that the statement had been obtained from Mir. Cabrera directly and was made public with his approval. MT. Cabreras status with relation to this government is not tho same as that of an accredited dip lomatic or consular official. Whether the names of the commissioners nom- mated by each government were sub mitted for approval has never been di- vulged but if this was the procedure the commissioners probably would have definite diplomatic status on mhich action could he ha sod
