THE MAN FROM DENVER
El Nuevo mexicano., 1917-02-15
OFFICIAL ORGAN DOESN'T
THINK WE SHOULD GET MAD

London, Feb. 14.-Regret that
America has severed diplomatic rela-
tions with Germany and a determina-
ton to stand by Germany in her
newest method of sea warfare Is con
tanned in a semi-official statement
from Vienna which appeared in the
General Anzeiger of Dusseldorf.
"The opinion prevails in Berlin and
Vienna that the decision to embark
upon an intensified submarine war
fare did not constitute an action
which should have forced the United
States to such a policy as has been
shown by the Washington govern
ment," the statement says.
"The central powers have no inten-
ton Of %cancelling the new subma-
rine warfare, especially in view Of the
impossibility of establishing under
present methods of submarine fight
ing whether there are any Americans
on board. No concessions could be
made to the United States which
would render negative the nature Of
the new submarine warfare. not even
for the sake OF the highly valued
of the United States"

U. S. NOT TO DENOUNcE
PRUSSIAN-AMERICAN TREATY

Washington, Feb. 14.-While the
United States considers that Germany
has given grounds on which it might
property and justly denounce the
Prussian-American treaty of 1899 and
1928, it was declared at the state de
partment today that the government
will continue to live up to the spirit
of the old conventions.
1t was indicated there will be no re.
afirmations or extensions as asked by
Germany, but that the United States
prefers to leave the old conventions
is they stand.
The United States considers Ger
many's failure to accept the seamen's
bill amendment to square the law with
the treaty and the Illegal interferences
with commerce between this country
and Germany's enemies by submarine
warfare in defiance Of the treaty,
leave this government free to take
whatever action 1t deems best.
The seamen's bill provides unless
governments accepted its pro-
visions as an amendment to CONNER
cial treaties, such as these in Ques-
ton, the treaties SHOULD be abrogated.
Moreover, the treaty provides that
even in case of war, the nation re-
naming neutral shall have entire free
dom of commerce even with the ports
Of the enemy. This provision has been
violated by German submarine war
fare.

duty. The Mexican raiders rode to
the Corner ranch, go miles southeast
of Hachita, ordered all the Mexicans
employed there to Join their band,
took cattle and horses and then went
in search Of the three Mormon cow
boys who were out on the range
rounding up cattle, Romney said.
The raiders were believed to have
obtained their information as to the
whereabouts of the cowboys from the
Mexican ranch hands.
Rommey said he obtained his infor-
nation of the raid from Lem Spills
bury, the Mormon scout with General
Pershing in Mexico who was at Car
rial and who was taken prisoner to-
gether with cavalrymen by the de
.facto troops. Cpillsbury has a ranch
a short distance from the Corner
ranch, which is owned by the Pa
Tomas Land & Cattle company, an
American company. The raid Mon
day followed a raid at the Nogales
camp, 40 miles south of the border
which occurred on February 10, ac-
,cording to information received here.
This raid was also made by Miranda's
command, cattle men here believe.
Ten horses we're killed and a large
quantity of stock and supplies taken
there. This ranch Is also owned by

FUND PROBLEM
AGAIN COMES UP TO
THE SUPREME COURT
WHETHER OR NOT STATE ls PRE-
FERRED CREDITOR WHEN BANK
FAILS TO BE DECIDED IN SILL
YER CITY BANK CASE /.

When a bank with state funds in II
fails, is the state a preferred cred
itor?
This is the important question
raised in the state supreme court In
the matter of the Peoples Savings
Bank and Trust company, on appeal
Of the American Surety company on
the question whether the surety com
pany could claim a priority in assets
in the savings bank in Silver City
which now is defunct, by %subrogation
to state priority. There were 8 1000
Of state funds in this bank and the
amount was guaranteed by the Surety
company, and paid over by the com.
pany after the bank failed.
If a state has priority in such cases
it will be regarded as an extra safe
guard for state monies. This appeal
involves, therefore, the same question
raised in the Las Cruces First State
Bank in which the state. college funds
were deposited.
Judge Neblett, in the lower court,
decided against the surety company.
Attorney Francis G, Wilson, of this
city, represents the Surety company
and Attorney Percy Wilson, of Silver
City, the referee, r. r. Ryan, re-
appointed successor to Judge
Neblett, in the district court. The
case came up before Judge Neblett on
exceptions to the referees report.
