Germany had abandoned its contention
that the Lusitania was an armed mer-
chairman. This claim was originally
made in justification of the sinking Of
that ship and affidavfts wera present
ed to su5stantiate it The affidavits
were proven to be false. however, and
Mr.. Lansing indicated that Germany
had dropped the contention some
time ago.
The japanese ambassador. Niscpunt
ChiEda. also called on the secretary.
His purpose was to obtain any details
which might have been received re-
garding the sinking of the Japanese
liner Yasaka Maru. The secretary said
no reports of Importance had been re-
ceived He indicated that no action
would be taken by the United States
in that case, at least not at this time.
But one person aboard the Yasaka
Maru was supposed to be an American
citizen. He was W ]. Leigh. A dis
patch received today from Consul Car
rels at Alexandria, Informed the state
department that Leigh, who was born
in China of American parents, never
had elected to claim Americas citizen
ship. His status may be the subject
Of a further report, however, as it is
pointed out that the United States
maintains extra territorial jurisdiction
in China and if Leigh was born of
American parents within the jurisdic-
tior of any American consulin China
he coud be considered an American
citizen unless he elected to become a
subject Of some other nation.
Anxiety in official circles increased
tonight when it was learned that press
dispatches from London reported the
sinking of another British liner the
Perinsular and Oriental steamer Gee
long. No word of the latest disaster
had reached the state department. Of
fical reports will be awaited tomorrow

Second Operation on Huerta

Ell PASO, Texas, Jan. 3.-General
Nictoriano Huerta, once provisional
president of Mexico and until today
uider surveillance by federal authori-
ties, pending trial. underwent a second
operation late today, performed in an
effort to save the aged soldiers life.
The first operation, for gall stones, was
performed Saturday, and since, it was
said, complications developed.
The patient, whose condition was
described as serious, was much re
ieved after the operation.
General Huerta was arrested several
months ago and held on a charge of
conspiracy to set on foot a revolution
in Mexico.
The operation today was of minor
character. A third operation of like
nature was planned tonight for tomor-
row.
Owing to the duration of his illness
from jaundice, it has been necessary
to operate without anaesthetics.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 3. - With
the main portion Of the wind and rain
storm which visited most of California
yesterday with almost unprecedented
downpour and fury stiH off the Ore
gon- California coast, a portion of the
disturbance rapidly is moving eastward
tonight. according to the report issued
by the United States weather bureau
here.
Shipping, for the most part, has been
paralyzcd and many coasters have been
forced to run out to sea OF, when bar
conditions would permit, return to
ports along the coast.
Little damage to citrus fruits was re
ported from citrus sections. and what
damage was caused to other crops
was reported as offset by the break
ing of the recent cold wave as an aft
ermath Of the storm.
Sporadic showers and gusts of wind
served today in san Francisco as re-
minders that the storm of yesterday
which cost one life, many injuries and
much property damage, still was in
the vicinity. Storm signals were still
set tonight along the coast.

WILL Of PEOPLE CARRIED OUT
IN AMENDING PRIMARY LAWS

people, as expressed bv the last legis-
Iature and at the special election of
October 25, 1915. is being carried out
through the amendment of the pri-
mary laws to meet the requirements
of non-partisan registration. The
sta tement follows
AT the special election of October
26. the sole question was whether state
officials should be elected in partisan
or non-partisan fashion. Those who
voted at that election decided that our
state officers should be chosen IN
partisan fashion. This decision is, Of
course. controlling, and by all of us
should be given full effect. The last
legislature passed a new registration
bill which was in accordance with the
views of the County Clerks Associa-
ton and followed the procedure Of
many of our sister states This regis
tration DILL provided that no voter
hereafter would be required to state
his politics at the time of registration
This registration bill has been neither
attacked nor challenged 1t has been
acquiesced in by all the people and is
today the law of the land. We have.
therefore, decision of the people, Oc-
tober 26 that state officials be nom
mated and elected in partisan fashion
and a law of the land solemnly passed
and unanimously agreed to. that regis
tration be without party designation
The duty of those entrusted with gov
ernment is plain to carry out the will
Of the people as expressed at the spe-
cial election and to maintain the law
of the land acquiesced in by all alike.
This can be readily and speedily ac-
complished by amendment of the
primary law and cannot be readily and
speedily accomplished in any other
manner The amendment in order to
accomplish both purposes need provide
only that the declaration of party
affiliation shall be made at the time of
the primary instead of at the registra-
ton. BY doing this, political parties
are enabled to nominate candidates,
and state officials are elected in par
tisan fashion, and the registration law
which has passed the scrutiny of all
of the people of the state, is pre-
served"

CONGRESS- MAY
CONSIDER TODAY
Is Regarded In Official Cir
cles AS Most Serious to
Confront Government
Since Central Powers Sub
marine Operations Began
TRepublican A. p. Leased wire1

HOT SPRINGS, Va, Jan. 3.-Presi-
dent Wilson left here tonight at S:45
FOR Washington, after series of tele-
phone conferences with the capital re-
garding international affairs He
goes to take personal charge of the
situation growing out of the sinking
Of the British liner Persia in the
Mediterranean.
The president declined to make any
CommenI further than tC announce his
decision to return to Washington at
once, cutting short his honeymoon ny
two days. The situation is regarded
in official circles as being the most
serious to confront this government
since the submarine operations of the
central powers began.
The president probably will lay the
facts thus far established before his
cabinet tomorrow. The destruction of
the Persia, following closely upon the
crisis preciritated by the Ancona dis
aster, may result in the United States
determining to settle Immediately all
the questions involved in the subma-
yine warfare. The subject is expected
to find it's way to the floor of the
house and senate tomorrow when con-
gress reconvenes after the holidays
The United States is represented as
being prepared and determined 10 take
any action that the facts concerning
the Persia, yet to be established, may
wa rrant. Officials still are trying to
view the situation with an open mind.
but it is apparent that they are dis
turbed by the reports received from
consular agents ut Alexandria and
Cairo, Egypt. Every effort will he
made to establish the truth of the re
port that the Persia was torpedoed
without warning. Secretary Lansing
contemplates taking no step until the
complete details are known.
Officials find one source of gratifica-
tion in assurances given by Baron
Erich Zwiedinek. charge of the AustrO-
Hungarian embassy, to Secretary Lam
sing during a conference today at the
state department. Baron ZWiedineE is
said to have suggested that the judg-
ment be withheld until the facts were
known and to have expressed the be-
olief that the final eXplanatin of the
latest incident would be satisfa aCtOry.
He is said to have assured the secre-
tary of his belief that if an Austrian
submarine commander violated the
principles of international law and the
rules of humanity, his government
would be quick to take action which
viii be fully satisfactory to the United
States. Baron Zwiedinek also sought
information for the benefit of his gov
ernment.

Ell PASO, Texas, Jan. 1.-Restora-
ton of property confiscated by Villa

In the front yard of this home the late

PRESIDENT TO TAKE CHARGE
or new CRISIS CREATED BY
The SINKING OF THE PERSIA

Ambassador Penfield at Vienna to
make informal inquiries which might
lead to the establishment of the identi-
ty of the submarine which sank the
Persia or the receipt of information
concerning the circumst tances of the
attack
The secretary acted upon information
received from an unGisclosed source
that no submarines of other than Aus
trian nationality were known to be
operating near the point where the
Persia went down. No specific instruc-
tious were given to Ambassador Pen
field. He is expected to proceed as he
thinks best and forward any informa-
tion obtalna BILE.
Officials here are not finally con-
,irced that. 4 submarine was resDon-
sible for the sinking of the Persia, and
still see a remote possibility that the
vessel might have struck Il floating
miro which hae drifted to that part Of
the sea from adjacent fields of opera
tions The report that the liner was
carrying a Al inch gun served to re
vive consideration of the position
taken by the United States in
regard to armed merchantmen.
ned the early days of the war it
was announced that merchant ships
belonging to belligerents might be al
lowed to enter and leave American
waters with guns of six inch caiibre
or less mounted upon their stems.
At that time cruisers of the central
powers had not been swept from the
seas. Later Great Britain and France,
AT the suggestion of the United States,
~ int
American waters should not be armed.
thus eliminating the possibility of d
controversy over that point so far as
vessels plying out of ports of the
United States were concerned.
Since then ali war craft of the Teu-
tonic allies with the exception of
submarines, have disappeared from the
high seas. Consequently, it is con-
sidered in some quarters that mer-
chanhnen mounting guns even of small
calibTe astern, might be considered
prepared for resisting hostile sub
marine. Secretary Lansing and other
officials have considered this view
with great carefuIness. The secretary
said today he was not prepared to an
nounle the attitude oil the United
States on this point in the future. 1t
is Understood that he was awaiting an
opportunity to discuss the matter and
its various ramifications with Presi-
dent Wilson.
TIE Italian ambassador, Count Di
CeIIere. called on Mr.. Lansing during
the afternoon, seeking information on
the question. He was referred to the
position taken by the United States at
the beginning of the war which was
ir line with the provisions of The
Hague convention permitting arma
ment for defensive purposes.
During later discussion OF the sub
ject, Secretary Lansing revealed that
