Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

CHICAGO, July 19.-The assertion that the late Victoriano Huerta, presi- dent of Mexico, came to the United States after he was busted from the presidency, in the interests of the Ger man government, and with the intent to cause war between Mexico and this country was made on the witness stand today by Gaston B. Means, dur ing his testimony regarding an alleged second will prepared by the late James C. King. Means was a witness at a hearing held as a result of the attempt of certain heirs to have a will admitted | to probate.
 During his testimony, Means brought in the names of Count von Bernstorff, | J. Pierpont Morgan, Captain Boy Ed and Secretary Daniels
 Means said that in 1915 he was told by German official that Huerta would come to the United States in the interests of the German government and that he later would return to Mex ico and attempt to embroil the south ern republics and the United States. The witness said he communicated this information to a detective agency which brought about the arrest of Huerta. He added that his action caused him to be dismissed by Captain bOy -Eu llOlu lile GIlplOy Ol lIle OeT- man embassy.
 Later, the witness said, he held con- ferences with Joseph P Tumulty, sec retary 10 the president; Secretary Daniels, J. Pierpont Morgan and John R. Rathom, editor of the Providence. R. l., oJurnal, at which he gave the infor- nation which resulted in the arrest of Werner Horn while en route to blow up a bridge over which Canadian troops were being shipped. He testified he had warned government officials of the destruction of the parliament buildings at Ottawa
 Some German agents knew I was on familiar terms with Captain Boy Ed" the witness testified, "and as sumed anything they said to me would go no further. I listened to all they had to say and reported it."
 Means said that Mrs. Maude C. King of whose murder he recently was ac- quilted, was interested with him finan. cially in supplying the German gov ernment with rubber, in violation O the Anglo American trade agreement He said Germany still owed Mrs King estate approximately ,000 as a re suit of these transactions
 The witness announced that he hat been ordered by the department of jus tice to report to the local bureau to as sist the authorities in unearthing Ger man plots in the United States.

BELIEVE COLONEL
 WILL ENTER RACE

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N. Y, July 19.-The New York republican state convention suddenly adjourjned today, leaving unanswered many questions to which replies were eagerly awaited. Chief among these was whether Col Theodore Roosevelt would enter the race for the governorship. The prevail ing belief was that he would. The part played by the women dele gates was not insignificant. Fully one- fifth of the 1,034 delegates were new voters, and woman, Miss Mary Gar rett Hay of New York, was made chairman of the resolutions committee. Women figured in one incident that was out of harmony with the rest of the session. This was when a delega- tion of the more militant national woman's party displayed from the bal comics a banner demanding the sup port of United States Senator Wads- worth for the federal suffrage amend | 8 chair cn ..
 ment, or his resignation.
 At the direction of Chairman J. Sloat Fassett, the banner was taken away from the women and crumpled up, but not until they had struggled futilely to keep its message before the delegates.
 The platform adopted declared for a vigorous Twin the war" policy, com- mended the administration of Gov Whitman and ''emphatically" urged the New York senators to vote for the l federal suffrage amendment.

 Several squadrons of airplanes and dirigibles put to sea soon after the San Diego had been hit. Late tonight one of these planes. in a crippled con- dition, was seen being lowed across the Great South Bay by a patrol boat. No information was available as to how it met it's mishap.
 Cruisers Colors Are Saved The colors of the San Diego were rescued by one of the sailors who landed here. The flag had been lashed 10 bit of drift wood and was being held aloft in the boat when it came ashore. The jackie who saved the en- sign climbed up the mast to get it and then dived into the water.
 None of those who came here needed medical attention and it was believed that if there was any loss of life it was | in the engine room and was caused by the explosion of the boilers.
 The sailors told of the heroic death | of a Quartermaster who had been or dered to stand on the bridge while the men were being sent to the bats.

Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

CAMP KEARNY. San Diego, Cal, July 19.-The 115th Colorado en- gineers took first place in attention here today. some of them building a pontoon bridge in record time and oth- CTS setting off an experimental mine containing several thousand pounds of explosives.
 The mine tore a creater many yards in diameter, but so much of the mate rial blasted out fell back into the crater that the depression is only about ten feet deep. No effort to determine the explosions effect on the mass of tunnels surrounding the firing cham Der was made today on account of the poisonous gases remaining in them. The bridge builders set up 40 feet of pontoon bridge in 19 minutes and 57 seconds, which officers declared was faster than official records known 10 them. This was from the time work was started until the bridge was com plete in every detail Some records printed officially, the officers said, took no account of time consumed in launching the boats.
 Work Was Systematzed
 Everything was done systematically with teams of men assigned to carry
 
 wing the floor boards of the bridge and so on. The wagons carrying the bridge material were backed into place detachment of men from each con- pany of the second battalion of this regiment formed into one provisional company. marched up and stacked its arms, and an officer from the first battalion commanded Unload the bridget"
 The men did everythin on the run Groups of them removed from the wa Gons the materials not needed at once and showed the boats down the bank to the water. Others got out and se' up an abutment, plunging into water above their waists to place it.
 Carriers rushed up two heavy balks which were taken from the bank tC this abutment fastening it in place and then laid other balks to form sills for the floor boards. which a squad deposited every second or two.
 At the conclusion of the work, Col c. R. Hillsbury, regimental command. CT. said to the captain in charge: "1 want to compliment you very highly Compliment the men, sir" replied the captain, they did the work"
 The bridge was built in False Bay near San Diego.

Must Have Rulinq At Once

"The interested parties will take up with the proper authorities at once the mode of procedure in closing out the business temporarily, if it is deemed necessary. We must have a ruling at once as to the status of the players in seeking special employment. the length Of time to be given them to do so and whether it will be necessary to apply to the local board having original jur- isdiction. Something may be devised that the game will continue in some manner or other until the close of the season, having in mind that the order must and will be respected. The base ball interests have been loyal and pat riotic and will continue to be so. The order will be respected to the very letter."

 CINCINNATI. July 19.-President John J. Tener of the National League. after reading Secretary of War Bakers announcement that professional base ball players come within the work or fight" order, made the following state ment:
 T have read Secretary Bakers de- cision in full and baseball interests will comply with the finding in spirit as well as in acton. As good citizens, our obligation is to respect constituted authority. If baseball comes under the classification of a non- essential occu- patton we will most gladly make the sacrifice of our business interests in l the country's welfare.
 We feel, however, some provision should be made that would give us | time to determine whether or not these clubs can proceed under the suggestion made by Secretary Baker or whether we will close out our business entirely and we will request the war depart ment to make it's ruling more definite as it concerns this point. My personal opinion is that if every ball player between the ages of 21 and 31 is forced to cease playing baseball at once, professional baseball parks will have to close their gates immed- iatelV"

Chairman August Hermann of the national baseball commission, issued statement here tonight relative to Sec retary of War Bakers decision placing baseball in the list of nOn- essentials Mir. Hermann said:
 Tt is apparent that Secretary Baker has given the matter his most serious consideration and his conclusions are beyond doubt based upon the highest motives. Just what the method of pro- ceedure of the club owners will be will be determined in the next few days. l am sure there is only one conclusion and that is constituted authority must and will be upheld.
 His suggestion that many players are beyond the draft age and therefore it is by no means certain that complete disorganization of the business will l follow, is a matter for the clubs to de- 1 termine
