WASHINGTON. May 30.-With the
practical admission that the Carranza
note sent to the state department Will
not be delivered soon, if at all, some
officials here today pointed to the re-
publican national convention as the
cause.
At the state department 1t was
strongly intimated that efforts, seem
insly successful, have been made to
halt all diplomatic negotiations until
after the republican platform has been
adopted because Of the probable po-
litical effect that would result from a
change of the present status.
Officers Doubtful.
Army officers today were doubtful
whether the president is not going to
guide himself largely in his attitude
toward Mexico by the opposition plat
form The belief is growing that after
the republican convention, President
will consent to a gradual withdrawal
of American forces from Mexico. In
best informed quarters, however, the
opinion was expressed that the Amer
lean troops will stay in Mexico until
Villa has been captured or killed.
Officials, meantime, are dee rly in
terested in a probable conference with
Secretary of State Lansing tomorrow
by Mexican Ambassador Designate
Arredondo. 1t is believed that follow

privileges. also will be put on the
stand, it is said.
The first material witness in the
case was Fred Pickett, chief of de-
tectives, who said Mayor Bunch ap-
pointed him to this position after his
resignation as chief Of police had been
demanded. The states theory is that
tie city officia1s wanted to get Pickett
out of the way. Pickett declared,
however. that the administration had
done good work in cleaning up the

had secured the property agreed upon
he entered into a contract to sell it,
through the agency of Underhili. to
w. J. H. Enlow. 1t is asserted that
Enlow gave Stamer his note for $500,
secured by a mortgage on the small
three-room cottage
It had never been alleged to Elbow.
1t is alleged, that the property he was
negotiating for was the five-room
house, although Stamer all the time
was under the impression that he
owned this property and that it was
the one he was selling to Enlow.
When Stamer's eyes were finally
opened, the state contends, he discov-
cred that he was holding an $500
note Of man who had little or no
means, secured by. "a mortgage or a
property worth less than $500, &C
cording to the state. Stamer reported
the case to the authorities and the
indictment of Underhill by the grand
jury resulted.
The fraud case was set for trial in
New Castle June /, but will have to
be postponed because the trial judge
is now engaged in another case at
Muncie.

URGES
NATION TO BACK
REGULAR ARMY

KANSAS CITY, Mo, May 30
Strong appeal for preparedness, mill
tary and industrial, was made by Col
T. r. Roosevelt in his Memorial day
address here today. President Will
sons Mexican policy was attacked by
the former chief executive, who said
that the present administration has
been three years late in dealing with
the situation along the southern Dor
der.
A navy that would rank second to
only one other navy in the world and
an army of 100000 men was urged by
Col. Roosevelt
Army Needs Support.
But the navy and the regular army
are not enough said Mr. Roosevelt.
Exactly as back of the navy should
stand the regular army, SO back of the
regular army should stand the nation
speak to, and on behalf Of, nation
Of freemen. l do not wish US, the peo-
pie, to sink into condition where we
are so soft. so ease loving, so fond of
pleasure, or SO wrapped up in money
getting, that we cannot do the hard
work that brave men must do when
the need calls. I speak for universal
Action was Needed.
"If at the outset, If three years ago
we had resolutely and with foresight
prepared to act, and then, il necessary,
acted, in Mexico, that country would
today be as peaceful and prosperous
as Cuba-where we actually diu take
the very action l advocate for Mexico.
If. the instant that the great war
broke out in July, 1914, our fleet had
been modified a competent man put
at the head of the Navy Department,
our army put in proper trim, and steps
taken by our representatives at Wash
ington, both Executive and Legis,

there would have been no trouble of
any kind with any belligerent OF
course, when we submitted to wrong

etition of that Wrongdoing by that side
and the infliction of similar wrongs by
the other side. The thousands of
non-combatants, men, women and chill
dren, in GLIDING many hundrends of
American men, women and children,
who have been killed on the nigh seas,
owe the loss of their lives primarily to
the Suplne actlon or this nation; to

industrial preparedness, and both

You men who wore the Blue and the

and supporting your families, and

NEW YORK, May 30-An uprising
in the Congo may result from the war

a mining engineer, who arrived here
today from the Belgian Congo, where
he has been locating diamond mines.
The natives have always been
taught to regard a white mans life as
sacred" said Hoffman, but now they
are being trained as sharp shooters
and are being sent to France to help
fight the Germans. Particular instruc-
tions are given them about picking off
officers. The whole outbreak of the
natives is being charged and they are
ocming to learn that human life
among the whites is not held so dear
as they had been taught"
