BLACKLIST UNFAIR
Some on British List Say No
Reason for 1t.
Practically All Are New York
Business Firms.

New York, July 1e.-With few ex-
ceptions, all of the American business
firms and individuals, placed by the
British government on the black list
on the trading with the enemy act,
have their headquarters in New York
city. Most of these merchants ex-
pressed no surprise today over the
action of Great Britain. J. A. Kahl,
an exporter and importer said:
This blacklist has been in the
hands of bankers all over the world
at least year to my personal knowl-
edge. I have known for more than
a year that I, for one, have been black
listed. 1 am and have been for twenty
years, an American citizen. Not only
has my business which was mainly
with China, Japan and far eastern
countries been broken off completely
by seizure of goods but I have been
unable to buy bills of exchange or in
any other way to settle my affairs"
Will Protest to State Dept.
Alfred Richter, a trader with Chi
nese and Japanese merchants. said:
THE reason 1 was put on the black
list, so far as can guess, is that once
almost thirty years ago, 1 was con-
nected with a German firm" Mr..
Richter declared he had been a citi-
zen of the United States for 25 years.
JOnn D. Scully OF zimmerman &c
Forshay, prominent German bankers,
said:
"All the officers of our company
are American citizens. Much of our
business has been done with Germany
naturally, but for years we have had
business relations with England and
many of her colonies"
I'VE are considering means of TAX
ing the matter up with the state de-
partment within a day or two" said
Oscar L. Gubelman of Knauth
Nachod & Kuhne, bankers. I'VE
feel that we have been unfairly dis
eliminated against. We have infor-
nation that many of our cables were
interfered with
Charles Hardy, a metal importer,
said the only reason he could think of
for the presence of his name on the
list, was that he had been cabling
money to relatives in Germany.

DOUGLAS, April 3.-Francisco Villa and small body of his men are in the vicinity of Santa Barbara, Chihuahua, southwest of Parral and but a few miles from Dolores Pass leading into the Sahuaripa district of Sonora, ac- cording to reports brought to Agua Prieta today by passengers arriving from Nacozari. The same story in the form of rumor reached American army circles here and caused much speculation.
 Not great deal of credence was given the rumor on this side of the line, although it is known that General Ar nulfo Gomez commanding the de facto Mexican forces in eastern Sonora, sent additional troops today to Colonel Morelos. 65 miles southeast of Agua l'rieta, with instructions to prevent Villa from entering Sonora through any of the mountain passes.
 Father Angel Maria Barcelo, aged 6! years, whose death is attributed by his i friends to a broken heart because of his exile from Sonora, more than d year ago, was buried here today. Requiem
 mass was sung with the Very Rev NJ. Portela, acting bishop of Sonora
 and five other priests, four of them ex-

LONDON, April 4.-The Times mill uary correspondent in an account of his visit to Nerdun and the French front predicts the development shortly of big battle on the British front:
 The Germans" says the correspond ent, have their army distributed in two great masses-one in front of the Brit ish army and the other around Verdun The first group numbers thirty four divisions and the latter thirty divisions. The rest of the line in France is thinly held.
 Prom this distribution one must suppose either that the Germans intend to attack the British or expect the Brit ish to attack them"

No report from Mex ico stated that he had disappeared, but all information secured, indicated that he was gone.

 The vigorous protest of the United States against the treatment of neu- tral mails was based largely on evil dence in the possession of the state department that while mails had not always been searched at sea, neutral ships upon being taken into British ports for inspection had their mails removed. detained and otherwise in terferred with. The reply does not mention this phase of the controversy. The protest was in the form of a memorandum of instructions to Am hassador Page at London.

Realizing that the immediate future will witness the most extensive prose- cutions in the history of the city of Phoenix of persons involved in regis tration and primary election frauds, and further realizing that these prose- cutions will necessarily involve time and effort. City Attorney George D.. Christy yesterdaN' handed his formal resignation to City Clerk Frank Thomas and mailed a copy to the mayor and each of the city conmis- sioners. Rather than undertake the outlining of program that promises to be wholesale cleaning up of those whose activities have already caused arrests and then be obliged to turn it all over tc his successor. MT. Christy decided that it was best that his res ignation should be in the hands of the new commission and clear the way for such action as that body decides to take. His resignation after numerous prosecutions were under way would necessarily hamper his successor. if one is appointed. and make more difficult the securing of convictions.

It will mean that the prosecuting officer must devote his entire time and entire energies to working out the details and then to handling the cases as they come into court
 Just how many prosecutions are likely to come of the investigation al ready begun can only be guessed at. It is known that the men working back of it all have already secured evidence .tat would involve not less than two hundred individuals It is altogether likely that today's election will in one way or anothe: add to this number.
