Misrepresentation Cause Off
cial Washington to Believe
New Quarrel Is Sought.

WARRINGTON. July b-Persistent
and seemingly deliberately conceived
Misrepresentation reflectinE upon
The American Governments atti-
tuds toward the Mexican Govern
ment, which recently have been ut
tered by at least one Mexican in an
official position. have raised the ques-
tion in the minds OF official and un-
flcial observers here as TO whether
or not Carransa is seeking 70 fasten
a fresh quarrel upon the United
States
Twice within the last few weeks
CarranEa has permitted one OF his
most important Cabinet officers 70
launch grutuitous public and official
attacks upon the good faith OF tho
United States. The official whose
critiolsms have attracted the maxi
mum Of unfavorable comment IN
is Rafael Nieto. Pending
the appointment by Carranza OF his
new cabinet. Nleto is nominally in
charge OF the Department OF Finance.
Nieto recently caused TO be printed

In every Mexico City newspaper,
with extensively displayed headlines.
the declaration that the United states
had refused permission TO the Mex
lean Government 10 coin a quantity
Of Mexican gold In tho Philadelphia
mint.
The manner in which Nieto's state
ment was worded and exploited In the
press is believed here TO have been
designed 20 convey the impression TO
the Mexican public that the United
states had been guilty OF a deliberate
act OF unfrlcndllness toward Mexico.
While tho application OF Mexico 20
have gold bullion minted at Phlla-
delphia was being considered by the
United States Treasury Department
the negotiations with tho arm OF New
York bankers who wero counted upon
20 supply tho bullion collapsed for
good and sufficient reasons, which will
be Understood by any bank or fin-
anclal group that have had tentative
dealings with the Carrnnza Govern
ment In the last two years. This
happened more than two months ago.
Nieto's second attempt 10 make the
United states appear In an unfavor-
able light was a statement implying
that the United States and the Cana
nea Copper Company were engaged i'm
a conspiracy 60 create situation OF
embarrassment to the Mexican Gov
ernmont
Basis for this was provided by the
necessity forced upon the copper COM
pany TO shut down it's mines and
smelters In Cananea, in the state OF
Sonora, few miles south OF the bor-
der, through the operation OF op-
prossive provisions OF the new Mex
lean Constitution governing the en-
ployment OF labor and by high taxes
levied upon tho property by Nleto's
department.
Nieto's statements. Il II fully un-
derstood here, do not spring from
him alone. Back OF Nieto Ia Luis
Cabrera, who was Finance Minister
under the pre- Constitutional Gov
ernment. Cabrera is using Nieto an
n mask and is actually the Finance
Minister pending Carranza's disposi-
tlon OF him when the new Cabinet
II organized. Behind Cabrera Ia
Carranza, so II is assumed here that
Nieto merely expresses the senti- |
ments of both Cabrera and Carranza.
Foreigners and foreign property in
Mexico are preyed upon in the name |
OF the law and the Constitution as
they have never been before by any
other Government OF that country. |
Carranza permits the unneutral Ger
man propaganda TO flourish in every
part Of the republic and permits |
taxes to be levied upon petroleum,
mineral and other foreign producing |
interests which are calculated TO en- |
barrass the United States In It's con- |
duct OF the war and thus aid Ger
many.

UNIFORM READY
OREvERY SOLDIER
IN NATIONAL ARMY
Tents, Shoes and Supplies Oh
Hand When Men Are Called
to ColorS.

WASHINGTON. July 5.-Every
man called 20 the colors under the
selective draft will md his uniform
ready 20 be donned. There is TO be
no shortage Of clothes. tents nor sup
plies.
This has been made possible
through cooperation between the
Committee on Supplies OF tho Coun-
Gil OF National Defense and the
Quartermaster's Department at a
saving TO the Government and with
out increasing prices 10 the individ-
ual.
Arrangements have been perfected
whereby every national guardsman
will be supplied with his full outfit
before he leaves his State. and every
youth mustered in will be provided as
soon as he reaches his training camp.
Julius Rosenwald, Chairman Of the
Committee on Supplies. said to-day:
Through doing away with the sys-
TEN OF competitive bidding in the
open market We have been able to
place contracts for uniforms and
equipment at prices varying some
what In different localities, but nearly
always at figure below that which
the private wholesale buyer would
have to pay. giving only a fair mar
gin OF profit to the manufacturer.
Through personal conferences with
the manufacturers the market has
remained comparatively steady, elimi-
mating the dangers OF price imitation
which a big Government project
usually brings when bids arc adver-
tised in tho open market. The result
has been not only big saving to the
Government in its supply contracts,
but the prices which the general
public has had to pay have not been
materially increased as a result Of the
purchases.
The committee on supplies an
nounced purchases as followt: Moro
than 100000 blankets, $1,000, 900 yards
OF bobbinette, 100000 cots. 45,600.0 900
yards cotton cloth. 81, 300, 900 yards OF
unbleached drilling. 100000 pairs OF
shoes and 11.19l. 900 pairs OF woollen
socks.
Local exemption boards for the
draft are being formed throughout
tho country. Reports that delay was
being caused by Wholesale resigna-
tions for political reasons from local
boards could not be confirmed here
to-day. and II was asserted that the
men appointed were responding VIII
lingly TO the call for their services.
As the names of the men called for
service are drawn in the big lottery
the local boards will post those names
opposite tho serial number OF each
man called. The men will be known
by their serial number
and this should be referred to in all
cases where claim for exemption OF
discharge is filed.
These lists will be posted In the
headquarters OF the various boards,
and a list will be made available for
publication. Every man whose name
is drawn will be notified by mail
at the address he gave on registration
day.
Beginning next week II u expected
the various forms that will be used
in making claim for exemption or
discharge will be available 20 the
public. These blank forms will show
n great deal more In detail the in
formation and conditions to be re-
qulred in all claims for exemption.

CALLS ON NEGROES

TROUBLES SPREAD
Riots in Chicago Follow Mass
Meetings Protesting at East
ST. Louis Killings.

! CHICAGO, July 5.-Law and order
are to-day restored in East Sc. Louis,
but there has been an outbreak of
race rioting here following the killing
of n white man by negroes, one OF
whom was wounded in a fight with
the police.
A Federal inquiry into the East 81.
Louis rioting in which thlrty-seven
negroes and four whites are known
TO have died has been started by Col.
George Hunter, Chief Quartermaster
OF the United States Army. After a
three-hour conference with state and
East St. Louis city oficials, the
fiat charge was made OF cowardice
and mismanagement by the National
Guardsmen, which is expected to re-
suit in a general court martial.
The Grand Jury is preparing 10 take
up the riots in East st. Louis, and the
authorities say tho mob leaders are
known, although only two Of the large
number of men are held.
In riots here negroes were urged by
one OF their leaders. a former Assist
ant States Attorney. to arm them
selves, while a member Of the State
Council of Defense gave warning OF
a probable outbreak
Early yesterday Charles A. Ma
ronde, an aged saloonkeeper, was
killed by negroes In the BLACK Belt"
on the south side. Police reserves took
eight negro suspects into custody,
and later fired at a crowd OF negroes
in an attempt TO stop a fight. One
negro was wounded.
ordered a force OF reserves held at the
Fiftieth Street Station IN the negro
section.
Victor A. olander, Secretary Of the
Illinois a rederation OF Labor and a
member OF the State Council OF De-
tense, has issued a warning TO Chi
cago and other Northern cities "where
the same conditions which brought
about such frightful results in East
st. Louis exist" He calls attention
to protests by organized labor against
what he terms the unnecessary i'm
portation of negro labor into East
st. Louis.
I'VE are going TO rectify this in
some wayl" A II. Roberts shouted
at mass meeting TO protest
against the East st. Louis bleodshed.
"The 100000 OF our race will not
stand for this massacre. Behind an
army go the guerillas-looters, cow
O rds and thieves. Behind this riot Is
the Public Defense Council, whose
are written without
consulting q single negro. They
breathe the same spirit as the mob OF
East st. Louis did. Get guns and put
them in your homes" s.......,..
He told his audience he hoped God
would demand 100000 white lives in
the war for each negro slaughtered In
East st. Louis"
Gov. Lowden is determined there
shall be a vigorous, relentless lnvesti-
CATION not only OF the causes leading
to the East st. Louis riots. but of the
conduct OF all OF the civil and mill
tary authorities.
There are to-day 1000 troops on
guard In East st. Louis. The Fourth
OF July passed without any untoward
incident. Many truck loads OF negroes,
guarded by National Guardsmen
crossed the bridges into St Louis
More than 10000 men, women and chill
dren have left the city.

The sudden departure Of the chair

board to take trip around the islands
to see what was needed in the way
of new wharves and improvements or

came, there was no money left to pay
the expenses of such trip. The only
