Perkins Holds Out
The Olive Branch
BY n. L. RENNiCk.

(Stdf Correspondent United Press)
CHICAGO, June George w.
Perkins brought the olive branch to
the c. o. p again today. The Bull
Moose chieftaln, after greeting Chair
man Hilles. of the Republican Ma.
tional committee, at the Blackstone
hotel. announced fatty that the Pro-
gressives will stand on the statement
they outlined in January. indicating
they will support any candidate
not necessarily Roosevelt-who
stands for Progressive principles.
Il see in the papers and heard
on the train while en- route here
that a lot Of bitter feeling has been
worked up between the camps OF
the different candidates." Perkins
said.
This IL unfortunate. As far as
the Progressives are concerned. We
will approach the conventions IN the
spirit we indicated in our January
statement.
This is pre-eminently the time
when the conventions should be for
America first

rlnZa. in his note delivered TO Wash
ington yesterday. had accused the
Wilson administration OF duplicity
and of misleading the Mexican gov
eminent II occurs TO me that this
was the first time that any foreign
power had dared accuse Uncle Sam
OF treachery.
Our prime object should be, with
all possible speed and certainty. to
stop this sort cf thing and restore
our good name"
As Perkins entered the Blackstone
be shook hands with Chairman
Hilles, OF the Republican committee:
Senator Reed Smoot, Of Utah, one
Of the Old Guard, and several other
Republicans.
They chatted Informally and laugh
ingly expressed hopes OF getting to-
gether
Thanks for your statement re-
garding the Republican platform the
other day" Perkins said TO Hilles.
In this statement Hilles had an
nounced the Republicans were for
America and preparedness and that
this was the big issue.
Hilles told interviewers today that
he believed the Prcgressives and Re-
publicans would get together.
Il don't think they have changed"
he said. Il believe they were abso-
lutely sincere in their January state
ment. I have not been assured Of
this fact by Col Roosevelt, but l do
believe the colonels followers would

HEARING is ON
FOR CLOSING OF
HASTINGS-ST.

Testimony on the petition Of the
Crank Trunk for the closing OF Hast
ings-st., between Franklin and At
water-sts., to allow the construction
OF continuous freight sheds. was
heard by tie council committee on
street openings. Thursday morning
Whether the council can order the
street CLOSED depends on the testt
monS now being heard. Under an
opinion given by Assistant Corpora
ton Counsel william +. Tarsney.
there is no record OF the street ever
having been formally or legally open
ed to the river II. however. those
who are contesting the prayer OF the
petition can prove that the street by
common usage has been open o the
river for the required length OF time.
then the assistant corporation coun-
sci believes that the street can be
considered an open thoroughfare TO
the river. requiring three-hfths

| Carranza and his hackers do not

Sites. realizing that II would mark
| the end OF their rule In Mexico.
II Carranxa would remain silent a
few weeks and try 10 take over the
patrol himself. some army men say,
withdrawal could be attempted.
AS for Carranza's Interpretation
Of the ScottObregon FL Paso confer
ence. Gen. Scott declared today
there was no agreement for with
drawal, nor any that the Americans
would not hunt down the Boquillas
raiders. On the other hand. Scott
agreed TO have the American lire
contrscted--and this has been done.
On Carranza's protest against de-
tention of munitions at the border,
this government probably will an
swer that the step. is a precaution
against the supplies falling into. the
hands of the villistas.
Carranza's latest note vas made
public last night.
The note written before the
withdrawal of the Boquillas expe-
dition) renews It's demand for
the immediate withdrawal of that
force. adding that in any case. after
having made its position clear. 'it
will be forced 10 defend itself
against any group OF American
troops which may be found within
its territory" II refers TO the Col
umbus expedition as "interned in
the state OF chihuahua" and also
insists upon it's withdrawal, add
ing: "The Mexican government un-
derstands that in the face OF the
unwillingness Of the American gov
eminent TO withdraw the above
forces. it would be left no other
resource than to procure the de-
tense of it's territory by means OF
arms; but II understands at the
same time It's duty 10 avoid as far
as possible an armed conflict be-
tween the two countries and acting
in accordance with the treaty OF
Feb. 2. ls4s."
At this point. the note requests
OF the United States government "a
more categorical explanation OF its
real intentions towards Mexico"
To clear the way for such a state
ment, 1t proposes to speak the mind
of the Mexican government with
entire frankness and setting aside
"all diplomatic euphemism." but de-
claring II does SO hoping that the
of the Washington gov
ernment will not be wounded by
its words.
The argument recurs TO the
Columbus expedition and states that
although admitting through Gen.
Scott. that its object had been ac-
President Wilson's
promise of withdrawal has not been
complied with. This statement fol
lows:
THE causes OF any internal po-
litical order which may exist not
to withdraw the American troops
from Mexican territory. however
justified they may appear, cannot
justify the above attitude; but on
the contrary. they accentuate the
discrepancy between the protests OF
respect to the sovereignty of Mex
leo and the actual fact that on &C.
count of reasons q internal policy
of the United States a status snould
be maintained which is utterly un-
just with regard tn The Mexican re-
public"
