toward conjecture as to just what the

The Mexicans' efforts met with sue.
cess, but their activities have been Sc
intent as to arouse the daily watehful
ness on the part of officials connected
with both the American and British
embassies here, the latter fearing that
attempts were being made to aid the
Grmans.
While future developments are ex
pected to heighten the sensational
character of the Carranza mission, il
is now known as certainty that the
MeXieans, assisted by two japanese, a
Dutch adventurer and a Welshman, dis
charged from the British army for con
duct unbecoming an officer, succeeded
in chartering the Kotohira Maru, a
Japanese vessel of 400 tons. After
loading cargo, this boat left Yokoho-
ma during the night of January and
proceeded to Muroran, where it coaled
and sailed direct for Salina Cruz, Mex
leo.
According to the manifest, the ship
ments consisted of 403 tons, but it is
known that this steamer of over 1000
tons did not sail direct for Salina Cruz
with cargo OF only 400 tons, listed as
machinery. Ii is also known that the
Rotohira Mau carried ~ Japanese
gun experts.
II is believed the Mexieans, handi-
capped in their operations by the alert
ness of the Japanese government, were
offered only inferior material of an
old pattern and lacking in uniformity,
so the trio finally resolved to add to
their small arms purchase a quantity
of machinery for the manyfaeture OF
guns and ammumtions.

The Mexicans had money-all kinds

In Good Shape

ed legal document, has lulled TO peace
full sleep all opposition to the affair.
Governor Whitman administered final
sleeping potion when he caused to be
ssued from his office a complete denial
that he was contemplating steps which
would stop the scrap.
With these tremendous loads lifted
from his mind Dillon began today to do
the final training for the bout, the re-
suit in view being to work off several
pounds of surplus flesh he carried when
he kicked Al Mccoy around a Brooklyn
ring.
Darcy has trained himself into excel.
lent shape. He realizes, as does Dillon.
that a big task eonfronts him in max
ing good before the American fistic
public. If he fails to make good
showing with Dillon he might as well
cancel the orders for his limousines and
things, for the shekels are going to quit
trickling his way with abrupt sudden
ness.
perfectly good piece of paper was
used by Grant Hugh Browne to state
that may be he would put Al Mccoy
on with Darcy in the second bout Darcy
has IN this country. And it was a reg
ular waste Of words and time, for no
one takes it seriously, in view of
Brownies recent declaration that, hav-
ing once burned his fingers, he pro-
posed to let Al Mccoy live his young
life without the assistance Of Browne
money.

At more than one supply station dis
covered and put out of business by Bri-
tish naval vessels, German submarines
have turned up to find all supplies van

For reasons of the admiralty s own,
the facts of British success against the

The same course was followed, it will
be remembered, in the first days of the

licity as was permitted to general state

Bankers Now a Tie
With Price Shoe Team
Standing of Teams.

The prophet who predicted that no
team would be successful in holding
down first place in the percentage col
umn of the Commercial Basketball Sc
ries Of the Y. NJ. C. 4. for any length of
time was certainly a good one. The
Capital National bank, the only team to
have the undisputed right to occupy
that position since the beginning of the
series after holding il down for one
week only, was last night again forced
to divide honors with the Price Shoe
company because of having been de-
feated by the Watt Shipp company in
the opening game of the series. The
game was rough and fast and early in
the first half Edw. Socolofslxy. guard
of the Bank, and All Carson, center
for the Ships, squared off for a fistic
encounter when Referee Matthews in
terrupted and disqualified both men for
further participation in the game
1t was also necessary for the Price
company to win its game against the
Fry Drug team and while it was as
sumed that the game would be of little
interest and that the Price company
would easily win it was only after one
OF the hardest battles of the year that
the Price company was successful in
winning from the Frys. Secley, a re-
cent addition to the Fry team, is a great
improvement and with another week in
which to prepare for the final game
with the Capital National Bank there
is no doubt but that the Drug team will
play the best game which it has played
since the beginning of the series. Cap
tain WelbOrn of the Frys, was unable
