GIVES DATA ON MEXICO
SENATE LEARNS OF CONDITIONS
IN THE SOUTHERN REPUBLIC.
Secretary Lansing Says That Govern
ment Is Military Rather Than of
De Facto Character.

Washington, Feb. 19.-Part of the
state departments data on the Mexi-
can situation, asked for by Senator
Fall, were transmitted to the senate
on Thursday by President Wilson.
Under motion of Chairman Stone of
the foreign relations committee the

lie document.
Americans killed in Mexico from
causes that can be attributed to the
revolutionary disturbances during
1913, 1914 and 1915 were placed at
10; those who had disappeared in Mex
leo and who were probably killed
from causes that can be attributed di-
rectly to the revolutionary disturb
ances, 6; those killed, apparently
through motives of robbery by bandits
or others (not including those killed
by Indians), 10; those killed by In
dams, apparently through motives of
robbery or revenge, IL; those killed
from miscellaneous causes and causes
not definitely stated, 80.
The total number of Mexicans killed
in American territory as a result of
border trouble other than those result
ing from firing across the border, the

in Mexico in the years 1913, 1914, 1915,
as against Al in the three years pre-
ceding it, and that 26 civilian Ameri-

EASTLAND Men FREE
FEDERAL JUDGE ABsoLvEs OWN.
Frs INDICTED FOR MURDER.
Rules Accused Need Not Leave Mich
igan-Asserts Charge of Con-
spiracy Not Proved.

Grand Rapids, Mich, Feb. 21.-Six
men charged by the government with
responsibility for the loss of more
than 800 lives in the Eastland disaster
do not have to go to Chicago to stand
trial.
This decision was handed down on
Friday by Federal Judge Clarence w.
in the district court here. He denied
the governments application for a
warrant of removal for the defendants,
all of whom live in Michigan.
The finding of the court means
practically that none of the defend
ants will ever be placed on trial by
the government. There is a possibil-
ity that if any of them journey into
other states than Michigan they may
be seized and another attempt at ex-
tradition made, but it is declared to
be a remote one.
The men, indicted here, who fought
extradition and defeated the govern
ment are William H., Hull, president
of the ST. Joseph Chicago Steamship
company; George T. Arnold, general
manager; Harry Petersen, captain;
Joseph M. Erickson, chief engineer,
and Robert Reid and Charles G. Eek
lift, federal inspectors.
Judge Sessions, in his opinion, said
the government had failed utterly in
all attempts to show conspiracy and
negligence.
In making his decision the judge
said:
The dead cannot be restored to
life. The sorrows of the living can
not be lessened by claiming other vic
TINS. The majesty of the law cannot
be upheld and vindicated by taking
men from their homes to stand trial
among strangers upon accusations
which there is barely a scintilla of
proof to sustain The evidence in
this matter wholly fails to establish
the probable cause for believing any
of these defendants guilty of any
crime charged in the indictments"

STocKHoLDER OF ROCK ISLAND
ASKS ACTION AGAINST JUDGE
= CARPENTER OF CHICAGO.
HOUSE BODY GIVEN CASE
Representative Tinkham OF Massa-
chusetts Acts at Request of Boston
Man-Green of Iowa to Ask Inquiry
of Charges.

Washington, Feb. ga petition
asking the impeachment OF Judge
George A. Carpenter of the United
States court at Chicago has been nled
with the house judiciary committee by
Representative Tinkham OF Massa-
chusetts.
Mr.. Tinkham filed the petition on
Saturday at the request of Christopher
F. Sweeney of Boston, one of his con-
stituents, who charged Judge Carpen-
ter with improper practice in connec-
ton with the Rock Island railroad re-
ownership Mr. Tinkham has told the
members of the committee that he is
not sufficiently informed in the ROCK
Island case to say whether or not he
believes the committee should act on
Mr.. Sweeney's petition.
The petition, however, has been re-
ferred to Representative Green OF
Iowa, who said that the questions IN
it were of sufficient Importance to com
mand the attention of the house COM
mittee. Mr.. Green intimated that he
probably would take charge OF the
case and ask the committee eltner "
investigate Judge Carpenter or the
present receivership of the ROCK
Island or both.
Mr. Sweeney in his petition says
that in 1902 he bought $4,000 worth
of Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific rail-
road per cent bonds. paying $8.9OO
for them.
The compliments principal conten-
ton is that Judge Carpenter knowing
ly appointed as receivers men who
were friendly to the Moore-Reid group,
which had been charged by the inter
state commerce commission with ex-
plotting the Rock Island.
The petition also draws attention to
the fact that a receivership was asked
on a claim of $4,000 in the case of a
property worth anywhere from $4OO,-
600, 900 to $50O,O0O,0O0.
1t is charged that there is a plan on
foot to bring about foreclosure on the
company's stock and restore control to
the Moore-Reid syndicte.
