 FOLLOWERS

FL PASO, Jan. Is. - Enrique Rul, formerly private secretary to General Villa, arrived here today and an nounced that he had severed all con nection with the revolutionary move mcnt in Mexico, and that his chief had done likewise.

| CHICAG0 CLUB CHANGES HANDS
 THURSDAY

NEW YORK, Jan. IS. - The change in ownership of the Chicago National League baseball club, which will be completed on Thursday, when Chas. w Weeghman and his associates pay to Chas. P. Taft $40O,0OO, balance due on the half million transaction. marks an epoch in the history of one of the famous clubs of professional baseball. Since the Chicago club was organized in 1876 it has always held a prominent place in the professional game. Dur ing it's existence of forty years many championship pennants have been nailed to it's flagpole. Probably no other club in the senior major league has been so fortunate financially, as money, or the lack of it, has never troubled the Chicago management. At all times the owners of this organiza- tion have endeavoTed to secure the services of great players regardless of cost as the roster shows, and this has been one of the strongest factors in the clubs success. In forty years only six men have held the majority stock in the club the recent deal nav ing transferred control into the hands of Charles w. Weeghman, so that owners of the team have been few. William A. Hubert and the late Al bert c. Spalding organized the team in 1876. Later James A. Hart pur- chased a controlling interest from Spalding, and held it for fourteen years. Then, in 1905, came Charles w. Murphy from Cincinnati with $125,OOO, and in buying out Hart's in- terest, the club passed into the joint possession Of Murphy and Charles P. Taft. Frank Chance was made man. ager in 1906. During the ensuing five years Chicago gathered together the greatest team it ever had, winning four pennants and two worlds series.

PORTO RIGA N $ WANT TO BE
 CITIZENS

SAN JUAN, Jan. IS. - Whether Porto Ricans are to be successful this year in getting the United States Con- gress to admit them to American citi- zenship is the question uppermost in the minds of most Porto Ricans at present. Although citizenship has been promised since the days of the Spanish-American war, and American occupation, seventeen years ago, each Congress since that time has failed to pass the necessary laws. The island CTS are now hopeful that the first Democratic administration since 1898 will act favorably and give them a de finite political status. At present Porto Ricans are merely citizens of Porto Rico"
 In the hope that favorable legisla- tion may be obtained, Governor Ar thur Wager is in Washington urging Congress to act. Bills providing a new organica act to take the place of the temporary Foraker act, which went into force in 1901, establishing civil government, and which has been in force ever since, have already been introduced in Congress by Chairman Jones, of the house committee on in- sular affairs, and by Senator Willard Salisbury, of Delaware.

ALASKA's REPRESENTATION IS
 THE SAME.

The Republican national convention next June will contain 93 less dele gates than the convention of 1912. This is due to the reduction of the delegations from the states that voted Democratic, so most of the losses fall npon the Southern states. There will be no representation from Hawaii, Porto Rico and the Philippines. The District of Columbia representation will be two instead of six as last time. Alaska gets two delegates, the same as before.

WHOLESALE INACCURACIES
 IN EXPORT STATISTICS
Admitted by Secretary RedfieId of the
 Department of Commerce.

Washington, Feb. 9.-Wholesale in- accuracies in government export sta- tistics were admitted today by Secre- tary Redfield of the department of commerce. in a speech before the Chamber of Commerce of the United States. He said, however, that by an order issued Feb. 1st- he had remedfed the situation so far as was in his power and that the gross errors of the past, caused by refusal of shippers to give the government facts and by an tiquated laws, would not be repeated.
 The secretary referred to a charge made a month ago by officials of the chamber that the percentage of error in departmental reports was so great it was impossible even for exporters to estimate 1t; that single cargoes run ming into thousands of dollars in value left American ports without being re- corded and that the published export figures for 1914 fell far short of the actual exports
 He said there was only slight inac- cuTacy in import statistics, as returns on imports were more fully under gov- ernment control.
 Such errors as have existed in re- cording exports" said he, 'are proper ly understated. The business of com piling figures of 5,000,000, ,000 a year under a law of 1920 is not a simple matter. The errors have been caused wholly by shippers who were unwilling to state the facts. I am glad that you have gone into this matter. You are my witnesses that there are no closed doors in the department of commerce. So long as l have anything to do with that department, if there is anything of eoncealment I will show it up"
 Others who addressed the chamber included Dr. Wellington Roo. the Chi nese minister, who declared that in China the greatest of world markets awaited the American business man; Senator Fletcher of Florida, and Ed ward A. Filene of Boston, whose sub- ject was "A Business View of the Peace to Come
 ,. Approval was voted of a recom- mendation that the federal govern ment keep friendly with the states trading at a maximum expenditure of $720000 a year.

Johannsens all of the Sacramento's crew George Phillips and Frederick Williams, supposed to be fictitious names and the following firms: North ern and Southern Steamship company. C- ID. Bunker and company and Swayne and Hoyt.
 Specifications of the Charge. The specifications in the charge of conspiracy to defraud the govern ment, varying in different instances are in three groups:
 Girst-Conspiracy to violate neu trality by making San Francisco A supply base for belligerents' ships at sea
 second-Conspiracy to defraud through false manifests.
 Third = Conspiracy to defeat neu- trality by supplyin beIligerents' ships with stores to which they were not entitled.
 Some of those indictments supersede former indictments in connection with alleged violations of neutrality by the stea/hip Sacramento and it was un- derstood that the government would ask dismissal of earlier charges. They were set for trial February 14.
 Speedy Trial Promised.
 The speedy trial promised by the department of justice in all these cas- es will mark the culmination of &C., tivities on the Pacific coast, which began with the war and are said by federal authorities to have continued almost to the present. Until the Ger man cruisers Scharnhorst, Gneisenau, eipZig and Nurnberg were sunk in battle off the Falkland Islands, Dec s. 1914. tremendous efforts were put forth to keep them supplied from this port
 The steamer Sacramento, formerly Germ&n-owned Alexandria, bought by the Northern and Southern SteamsffD company. a new corporation and flying the American flag. left port piled high with supplies of all sorts including sauerkraut and beer. and reached Val paraiso. Chile, empty All her SUD- plies were transferred to German cruiser. Captain Anderson said he could help himself.
 Made His Way to Germany in Disouiss
 Captain Fred Jebsen, a lieutenant in the German naval reserve. took car go of coal south on his boat Mazat- Ian, under bond for it's proper deliv- cry at Guaymas, Sonora, Mexico. He delivered 1t on lighters there and it was strapped uo by the German cr1is- CT Leipzig. Jebsen then made his way to Germany in disguise and is reported to have Leen drowned in the sinking of a sCEnIaIipe.
 The Olsen and Mahony, steam schooner, was loaded with supplies but after considerable talk with cus- toms officials was unloaded.
