can force 5000 strong marching from
San Geronimo toward Vale was sent
to the State Department today by
Eliseo Arredondo, Mexican ambassa-
dor designate, on instructions from the
Carranza foreign Office.
Vigorous complaint against the al
legged arrest and mistreatment of 800
civilians at La Cruz is registered In the
note, with request that the officers
responsible be punished and steps taken
to prevent a recurrence of such an in
cident.
Accused Of Brutality.

vanced base at NamiQuipa in accord

In preparation for a possible general
assault by Mexicans. So far as could
be learned the War Department had
not been advised of difficulties or of the
arrest of any civilians.
Only incidental consideration has SO
far been given at the State Depart
ment, 1t is believed. to the communica-
ton sent the department late yester-
day by Mr.. Arredondo, asking that
@ thirty Mexican civilians. who he said
New Mexico. be released
Complains Of Embargo.
This communication also complained of
an unofficial embargo which Mr.. Arre-
dondo says has been placed against ship
ment of foodstuffs and merchandise
across the boundary into Mexico, but
today's news dispatches from the border
do not indicate that such a possible en-
barge is rigid. because $4,000 pounds of
flour went across the border line into
Mexico at Juarez last night In another
case the State Department instructed
that shipment of hospital supplies con-
signed to Yucatan be allowed to go for
ward
In his communication protesting against
enforcement of any embargo Mr.. Are
dondo pointed out that no official notifi-
cation has been given the Mexican gov
ernment of the existence of such a meas
ure, and that, on the contrary, the de
facto authorities of Mexico continue to
promote commercial exchanges with the
United States.

POLICE JUDGE UPHOLDS
REVOCATION Of LICENSE
Chevy Chase Sanatorium Loses De-
cision and Gives Notice of
Appeal.

The action of the District Commits
sioners last December in revoking the
license Of the Chevy Chase Sanatorium,
on the ground that 1t was a public
nuisance. was sustained in a decision
handed down late yesterday afternoon
by Justice Mullowny of Police Court.
An appeal was noted by Attorneys C. c.
Tucker, ]. J. Darlington and Edward
s. Bailey, who appeared for the insti-
tuition.
Chevy Chase and Pinehurst residents
started a fight on the sanatorium more
than a year ago, when they filed a pc
tition with the Commissioners for the
revocation OF it's license.
Numerous Hearings Given.
Extended hearings were held at the
District building before Assistant Cor
poration Counsel Stephens. with At
torneys E. F. Colladay. Clyde D. Car
rett and Levi H. David appearing for
the protestants. Following a review
of the testimony. the Commissioners. in
December last. ordered that the license
be revoked. and gave the sanatorium
until February l to close its doors
Failure of the institution to recog-
nize the order resulted in the filing of
an information against it February by
Roger g. Whiteford. assistant corpora
tion counsel. The case was called in
March, adjourned and resumed week
ago.
Contention of the Defense.
The defense contended that the act Of
Congress giving the Commissioners au-
vate sanitariums did not confer upon
them the power to revoke a license
once it had been issued and property
rights established as result thereof.
Mr.. Whiteford claimed that the law
giving the Commissioners the right to
regulate a license carried with it the
right to revoke the privilege. and that
they acted within their authority in
determining that the institution had
become a public nuisance. and for that
reason should have its license Cancelled.
This view was upheld in the ruling of
the court

ORDERS THE RAILROADS
TO REVISE THEIR RATES
I. C. C. Finds Water Competition
Between U. s. Coasts Destroyed
By War.

Holding that water competition be-
tween the Atlantic and Pacific coasts
has been completely destroyed under
war conditions, the interstate commerce
commission has ordered transconti-
mental railroads to revise their rates
from the east to the Pacific coast by
September /, so that they shall not be
lower than rates to intermediate points.
The order was a result of the In
vestigation of existing rates on appli-
cation of the Nevada railroad commits

Necessity No Longer.

The commission found that the need
for lower rates to meet water COM
petition has completely disappeared
for the time being. and that there is
little likelihood of any material COM
petition by water during the present
year"
The unprecedented freight rates
being paid for ocean transportation
between this and other countries" said
the opinion, "have attracted practically
all of the ships heretofore engaged in
coast to coast service. In these cir
cumstances coast rates are lower than
conditions warrant"

Medical Examinations.

First of all, of course. it was necessary
to see that no contagious diseases were

was desired to see what children had any
PHYSICAL defects in order that curative
steps might be taken upon their return
to the city. In cases where it was ascer-
tanned that children were suffering from
malnutrition or aenemia directions were
given for special treatment Tor them
while in the camp.
Also the children were weighed. in

Ambassador Naon Says War
Between Two American
Nations Is Inc0nceivable.
HAS MADE NO OFFER
LOOKING TO MEDIATION
"Pan-Americanism Vital for All
Countries of the Continent" Says
Argentine Envoy.

NEW YORK. June 2s.-Romulo S.
Naon. Argentine ambassador to the
United States, issued a statement here
today, in which he said that while he
had made no offer of mediation looking
to the settlement of the differences be-
tween the United States and Mexico, he
was "in candor confident that the pres
ent crisis will be peacefully settled"
The formal statement of the am
bassadot. prompted. he said, by pub
fshed reports that he had offered me
diation 10 the United States, is as fol-
lows:
Made No Offer, He Says.
II have made no offer, but it is unnec-
essary to say that the Argentine gov
ernment is always disposed to work for
the peace of America.
"Pan-Americanism, which is vital for
all the countries of the continent.
whether great or small. strong or
weak. makes war between two Amer
ican nations utterly inconceivable. /
am, in candor. confident that the pres
ent crisis will be peacefully settled.
We must make evident that, no matter
how great the differences between two
American governments, the continental
interests of union and concord are su-
preme and inconsistent with recourse
to violence as means of settling in
ternational disputes in America.
Hopes Sound Policy Will Prevail.
The Argentine people and govern
ment are following this conflict with
the deepest concern and notwithstand-
ing the acuteness of the crisis. trust
that the inspiration of a sound. far
sighted political sense will prevail in
these hours, so full of perils for the
destinies of the continent"
Ambassador Naon would not discuss
what basis he had for his feeling of
confidence" declaring that his formal
statement spoke for itself. The am
bassador Is in this city attending to Of
hcial business and said he planned to

Further Allegations Cited.

1t further cites reports that a COM
mercial treaty was entered into at the
conference between France. Great
Britain and other allied countries to
become operative after the war for the
purpose of establishing a boycott
against enemy nations and ALSO to
promote commercial independence from
the central powers" The resolution
further quotes from recent statement
issued by the British board of trade,
relating to the treaty, which said that
the allies had declared a common de-
termination to insure re-establishment
of countries suffering from the war and
to devise means to give them "a prior
claim on raw materials, industrial and
agricultural plants and stock and mer-
camille fleets, or by assisting them in
re-equipping themselves in these re-
spectS.
Declaration Quoted.
The resolution quotes also a declara-
tion from the British Board Of Trade
their commerce against economic ag-
gression resulting from dumping or any
other mode of unfair competition. the
allies decide to fix by agreement a
period during which the commerce Of
the enemy powers will be submitted to
special treatment and the goods
originating in their countries will be
subject to prohibition or to a special
regime of an effective character"
Senator Stone asked that the resolu-
tion lie on the table. I'VE want to get
a copy of that treaty and find out how
1t may affect this country.

Gov, WHITMAN SAVES LIFE
OF STEIL0W, HELD GUILTY
OF NUMBERING N. Y. farmer

Albany, Dec. 4.-Gov. Whitman last
night committed the death sentence of
Charles F. Stielow to life imprison-
ment, although declaring that he be-
lieved Stielow guilty. The condemned
man was to have died in the electric
chair at Sing Sing during the week Of
Dec. II for the murder Of Charles A.
Phelps, a farmer Of Orleans county.
He was also accused Of the murder
of Margaret Wolcott, Phelps's house.
keeper, but was not tried for that
crime.
Three times before Stielow had just
escaped electrocution by reprieve
through the effort Of Mrs. Grace Hum
1ston of New York and the Humanita-
rian Cult. They firmly believed in his
innocence, particularly after a confess
sion, later repudiated, by Erwin King,
a peddler, that he committed the
crime
| Gov. Whitman said he considered
this confession a lie, but that no jury
with the King confession before it,
would have convicted stielow of muir
der in the first degree. The governors
statement in full follows:
No other criminal case where elem
ency has been asked has perplexed
and distressed me as has this. The
crime of which the defendant has been
convicted is one of the most atrocious

'Hideousness of Offense.''

Tuesday evening, when degree teams

York has a man been afforded greater
opportunity to establish his innocence
if that be possible. Twelve jurors and
ten Judges have passed upon this case
without dissenting opinion indicated
or expressed. The situation, however,
so far as 1 am able to learn, is unpre-
cedented
Another man, under the sanctity of
an oath, with all the solemnity posi-
Die under the conditions, has confessed
that he and not Stielow committed the
crime. There is considerable of detail
and circumstance in the King confess
sion and in the facts surrounding 1t as
yet unexplained and to me unaccount-
able. To he sure, the King confession
has been repudiated and so has the
Stle1ow confession, without which,
Stielow could not have been convicted.
[ believe that Kings confession is a
lie.
Possibility of Innocence
II cannot escape the conviction,
however, in the light Of all that has
been presented to me and which was
not before me when I denied the last
application for clemency after I had
granted three reprieves, that there is
a possibility, perhaps more than a
possibility, that this defendant is not
guilty.
Il think I am doing right in com
muting his sentence to imprisonment
for life. The procedure in the courts
has been correct, the action of the
Judges on motions for a new trial
has been absolutely right
'The King confession, uncorrobor-
ated and repudiated by himself, could
not be introduced under our rules of
evidence, as has been very clearly set
forth by Justice Rodenbeck, but be-
l1eve, and I speak from years of ex-
perience in the trial of criminal cases
that no jury in this country would
have convicted Stielow of murder in
the first degree with the King con-
fession before it. commute the SEN
tence of the court to Imprisonment for

ELUSIVE OLIVER
OF tanner CASE
FINALLY CAUGHT
Man Arrested In Chicago
Say He Impersonated
District Attorney

Chicago, Dec. 4-Further tangles of
INSTRUMENTATION were revealed today
by continued investigation Of the
man known here as Charles H. Wax,
last night that he is "Oliver Osborne
the 80. O." whose escapades with Miss
Rae Tanner, a New York dancer, re-
suited in her fling suit in 1915 for
$250,000 against James w. Osborne, a
former assistant district attorney.
Wax was taken into custody at his
apartment here yesterday. He is
said by the police to have been known
by more than a dozen aliases and to
have swindled more than 200 young
women in various parts of the coun-
try out of their savings. The postal
authorities ere investigating alleged
fraudulent use of the mails.
In his statement he denied that he
had played anything but an innocent
role in the suit against Mr.. Osborne
and asserted that the marked likeness
between his appearance and that of
the New York attorney was response
BILE for the suit.
Wax told of the Irritation which led
to his acquaintance with Miss Tanner
and of his later trip with her to
Plainfield. N. J.
He insisted. that he went to- Mr..
Osborne and told him of his acquaint-
ance with the case in the hope that he
might clear the attorney of the stig-
ma attached to the case but because
of the publicity given the suit decided
it would be dangerous for him to re-
main in New York.
''Mr. Osborne and I look strikingly
alike although he IS much older
man. Wax said. Tin fact, I put on
his glasses and his wife laughed at the
way it strengthened the resemblance.
I am SO, Mr.. Osborne must be more
than 500
Wax has been living in Chicago six
months with woman known as Mrs.
Ida Dorothy Wax, to whom he says he
is legally married. A part of last
summer he spent in Wausau, Wis, as
DR.. Francis e. Burke. Until a few
days ago he was employed here as
head night porter in a downtown de-
partment store. Mrs. Wax asserted
that she had known her husband only
little more than a year and that
they were married a year ago but de-
clined to say where.
Wax is neatly tailored and he is
said to speak French, German, Italian
and Spanish. He talked freely of his
connection with the Osborne case but
of little else except his record as
quartermaster sergeant in the 28th
United States Infantry.
The nn1iC0 saw that he had served
two penitentiary sentences, one at San
