BURSTING A RIIRRI

The Democrats who sought a crit

strong Democratic district; ard

"The attempt of Democratic

DELAY IN GERMAN GERMAN REPLY
Bryan Hurries To Washing
ton To Aid In Prevent

Washington April 21.-As a result
of his conference Thursday, Count
Won Bernstorff sent another COM
munication to his government last
evening. The ambassador does not
expect to call upon Secretary Lansing
again until after his government had
made formal reply to the American
lnote.
Just how long the United States is
willing to wait for the German reply
has not been disclosed. All officials
agree that ga reasonable time" will
be allowed. Press dispatches an
nouncing that the note had arrived in
Berlin were read but official word OF
the delivery OF the communication
had not been received.
The fact that a series Of religious
holidays, which are scrupulously OBJ
served in the German empire, begin
to-day, Good Friday, to continue
until next Tuesday, has been sug-
gested as a possible source Of delay
ON the part of the German foreign
office.
Washington was deluged with tele'
grams during the day. Great num-

Chihuahua Papers Knew Of
War UItimatum Before 1t
Made Public in U. S.
AREkEPT WELL INFORMED
Six Villa Bandits Found Gull
ty Of Murder for Partici-
patton in Columbus Raid.

Ell Paso, Tex, April 21.-On Mon
day the Chihuahua city newspapers
printed dispatches, supposed to have
come from Juarez, stating that Presi-
dent Wilson was about to deliver an
ultimatum to Germany and that war
would be declared within a week.
This information was brought here
by Americans returning from Chi
huahua, who brought copies of the
newspapers in which the dispatches
appeared.
The arrivals said that the news of
the crisis between Germany and the
United States was common talk in
Chihuahua city on Sunday, forty-eight
hours before the facts were made
public in this country. On Monday
an American who visited Gutierrez
was greeted with this remark:
well, suppose the Mexican stu
ation has become of minor importance
now that the United States is going to
war with Germany"
The six Villa bandits placed on trial
at Deming, N. NJ, charged with kill
| ing Charles D. Miller in the Columbus
raid, were found guilty of murder in
the first degree, according to word
received here. The jury was out
thirty minutes.
Reports from Mexico tell of in
creased rather than lessened Difficult.
ties surrounding the expedition. An
instance of this is the report that an
unknown number of Carranza troops,
estimated at 1900, have been moved
by their immediate commander to the
Parral region, where Gen. Pershing' S
most advance base is now located.
The observer who reported this add
ed that while the movement, he be-
lieved, was not authorized by the de
facto governments head, it was in
tended as hint that the Americans
must not move farther southwark. 1t
was accepted as added proof that the
outlying Carranza garrisons are not
entirely under the control of the war
minister, Gen. Oregon.
| Unofficial reports were that Villa
had made his way south into Duran
90, although official Mexican advices
continue to indicate that officials in
Mexico City yet gave some credence
TO the story that the bandit chieftain
had died of his wounds at some point
south-of CuSihuiriachic.

NEARING END
Average Price Still Rises As
Receipts Grow Smaller
Each Week.

Loose floor sales of tobacco dropped
this week to 10000 pounds, with the
highest average price of the year, fine
leaf being quoted az sll7b
The rise in tobacco has had the eff
feet of making some farmers who had
contracted to sell their crops jump
their contracts. These contracts were
entered into to deliver the crop by
certain date and some parties are in
terpreting the contracts to mean that
they will expire on the dates named.
The buyers claim that violation of
the contract for any cause will give
them the right to recover damages
equal to their losses. If money has
been advanced on the tobacco, the
parties selling to some one else, they
are liable to prosecution. The local
warehouscmen are. up in the air this
week over the developments in the
tobacco market in the light of the war
talk. They do not know whether 10
look for further increase or a sud-
den drop.
