WASHINGTON, May 14.-Republi. can senators in conference today agreed unanimously upon a program for organization of the next senate but deferred discussion of the oppo- sition by the progressive group to the election of Senators Penrose of Pennsylvania and Warren of Wyom- ing as chairmen of the finance and appropriations committees, respective ly
 Senator Cummins of Iowa, upon mo- ton of Senator Borah of Idaho, spokesman of the progressive group, was chosen for president pro tenn of the senate, without opposition Sen ator Lodge of Massachusetts was re- elected republican floor leader. Sena- tor Curtis of Kansas was reelected whip and Senator Wadsworth of New York, conference secretary. George A. Sanderson of Chicago was chosen for secretary of the senate and David Barry, Providence, R. l., newspaper man, for sergeant at arms.
 All committee assignments were left to a committee on committees which Senator Lodge was authorized to ap- point and of which Senator Brandegee of Connecticut, of the regular group, will be chairman. Eight other mem bers will be named upon and another party conference will be held prob. ably next week to receive the com report. The, seniority rule it is expected will be followed closely by the committee, although some of the progressive today declared pri- vately that they would carry their fight against Senators Penrose and Warren to the senate floor.
 The conference also authorized Sen stor Lodge to appoint a committee on order of business or legal legislative committee of nine members with Senator McCumber of North Da-

More German Notes

Paris, May 14.-(By the Associated Press. .)-The answers of the council of four to the German notes on pris. oners of war and labor subjects were delivered this afternoon.
 The German note on the question of prisoners says:
 "The German peace delegation notes with satisfaction that the prof ect recognizes the principle of the return of prisoners of war and civil ians with the least possible delay. The delegation does deem that all the details of the execution of this meas ure ought to be submitted to a spe. cial commission.
 Direct oral discussions between the commission and nearly all the bellig- erents concerning prisoners of war have been considered, even during hostilities, as the surest means of solving the difficulties. It ought to- day be all the easier to reconcile the

ARIZONA SERVICE MEN TO ORGANIZE
 STATE COUNCIL OF AMERICAN LEGION
This States Delegates St. Louis Convention Named as Executive Board for Home Organizations Capt Cassidy
 Tells of 100 Pct Americanism at National Meet

Arizona veterans of the great war EwilE meet their first convention at a place later to be selected at an early date. for the purpose of forma- tion fthe Arizona council of the American Legion Foundation of the various local councils, one. ofJ which will be established in each city and town, will at the same meeting be discussed and prepared for.zs This was the announcement of Captain M. B. Cassidy of Bisbee, who represent. ed the Warren District council at the national convention in St Louis last week, upon his return to the district yesterday
 Delegates at the St. Louis conven. tion from Arizona were named by that convention as the executive board for this. state and the perma. nent organization in Arizona will be built up around the meeting which they have been empowered to call. This meeting will be announced as soon as the railroads decide if they will allow reduced rates for the con vention attendants. Every soldier in the state who served during the war will be invited to attend the conven- tion and each will participate in the debate and argument from the floor. Representation and voting power will probably be based on the per capita of the county draft records The meeting will perfect the perma- nent organization for this state, de- termine the council organization plan, and start off the campaign for soldier organizations throughout Ari, zona
 The convention at St. LsNis re- ports Captain Cassidy was one of the greatest demonstrations of 100 per cent Americanism ever seen in this country. From the outset the atti- tude of the convention was one of patriotic endeavor with no halfway measures.
 No Halfway Patriotism.
 For example, declared Captain Cassidy, lone of the committees re- ported g resolution recommending

President Cdrranzn Charged
 With S19, 900, 900 Bank Theft

NEW YORK, May 14.-Venus- tiano Carranza, president of Mexi- co, was charged with "a colossal bank robbery in a suit for in- junction filed in the supreme court here today by William B. Mitchell, former manager of the Banco de Londres y Mexico of Mexico City. seeking to restrain Alfredo Cat uregli, counsel here for Carran- za's commission monetaria" from prosecuting a $140,O00 suit against the Bank of Montreal.
 The money claimed by the com mission from the Montreal insti- tuition, MT Mitchell alleges, be- longs to the Banco de Londres y Mexico, which he claims Carran- ga footed of $19.OOO,OO0 in 1916 by means of a series of illegal governmental decrees.
 In 1916, MT. Mitchell alleges, Carranza issued a decree abrogat- ing all laws giving concessions to banks of issue. of which the Banco de Londres y Mexico was one. The decree, it is alleged. gave the banks 60 days in which to increase their reserves to an amount equal to their bills of cir culation. A subsequent decree, however, it is alleged, created the

that congress pass a law providing for the deportation of all aliens in- termed during the war. The resolu- tion came up on the floor and it was immediately moved that the word recommending be stricken out and the word demanding be inserted. The motion carried enthusiastically. There was no halfway patriotism in evidence. The convention was 100 per cent American"
 Among other resolutions passed was one denouncing and declaring against the 1. w. w and similar or ganizations, and another; demanding the deportation of all aliens who tore up their citizenship papers to keep from serving this country in the war
 "One of the delegates, when this latter resolution was being discussed from the floor" Captain Cassidy re- ports, "that if this country is too good to fight for it's too damn good for such people to live in"
 Elect Officers in November
 The organization adopted at the convention, reports Captain Cassidy, is permanent, but the officers elected are but temporary and will serve only until the next national meeting, in November, when it is expected all the forces in Europe will have been re- turned to this country. Meantime states will complete their organiza- tion and fbe in shape to elect dele gates to the next national conven- ton.
 What the A. L. Stands For
 The constitution of the organization set forth in its preamble that "for God and country we have associated ourselves for the following purposes:
 ''First-To uphold the constitution of the United States.
 "Second-Maintain law and order.
 Safeguard and transmit to posterity the principles of justice, freedom and democracy.
 "Fourth-Fosterf and perpetuate a 100 per cent Americanism.
 "Fifth-Inculcate a sense of indi-

commission monetaria" with au- thority to regulate the currency of the country in such a manner as to make it impossible for the Banco de Londres y Mexico to maintain it's metallic reserves at the required point. st
 When Mir. Mitchell and other officials of the bank protested, the complaint continues, they were imprisoned by personal order of Carranza and were compelled by threats to sign papers turning over the assets of the bank to the Mexican treasury depart ment.
 When released, Mir. Mitchell al- leges, he was permitted to wit ness the taking over of $19,0OO, 900 in gold and silver by the gov ernment. The government did not take any of the banks se- curities, amounting to about $64, 100000.
 The gold and silver seized, it is alleged, was used by Carranza for his personal purposes and flor maintaining his political pres tige, his armies and general ad. ministration expenses"
 Hearing of the suit was ret for May q.
