carranza Gets Virtual UIti- matum That He Must Guard Lives of Americans; Note Is Couched in Strongest Terms

WASHINGTON, Au B.. 14-The first definite move toward the long expect ed change in policy in dealing with Mexico was disclosed today.
 Carranba has been warned that if the murders of Americans continue. the United States may be forced to adopt radical chaneg in it's policy with regard to Mexico.
 With the announcement from the state department, however, came no indication of how far the American government is preparing to go to en- force what lacks only the diplomatic |technicalities of an ultimatum.
 The government announced it's ac. tion by publishing an exchange of notes with Mexico and prefaced it's official statement with the explanation that the diplomatic Representations re ferred to had been taken ''in view of the long series of murders and out rages of American citizens in Mexico. eliminating in the murder of Peter Calron in San Luis Potosi last month. and the perpetration of other acts in disregard of American lives and prop erty.
 The communication to Mexico is couched in probably the strongest lan- guage used in any note from this gov ernment since the exchanges preced- ing the Vera Cruz occupation. All of- ficial Washington began at once look ing behind the official text, seeking some reason for an impending change of policy for which ther has been de- mand in and out of congress.
 Pressure from foreign governments and pressure in congress, which is preparing an Investigation of the, whole Mexican situation were among those most commonly discussed. Out wardly there was no reason apparent except the long and growing list of outrages on Americans. ,. T

CHICAGO, Aug. 1.-The railway shopmen's strike is off and the men will return to work Saturday. m
 That was the decision of repre- sentatives of the strikers from widely scattered points throughout the coun- try, after an all day meeting.
 No official announcement was made but the result of the conference was learned from men familiar with the proceedings.
 While the shopmen's representa- lives were in session, at mass meet ing of car .repairers. representing about 27.000 strikers, it was decided to return to work.
 The shopmen's meeting today was called by the Chicago district council which called the strike August l, in defiance of the international officers of the shop crafts who were in ses- sion at Washington negotiating with Director General Hines.
 A telegram was said to have been dispatched to President Wilson. Off cials of the district council attempted to maintain secrecy.
 In the meantime 1t was learned from persons familiar with the. ac- tions taken that the decision had been to call off the strike and return to work Saturday,
 The decision had been expected since the council decided several days ago to call the meeting. An attempt to obtain recognition from Director. General Hines for the Chicago leaders of fho strike had failed Ea PIT

MT. CLEMENS. Aug. 14.-A jur, tonight awarded Henry Ford, sil cents damages against the Chicago Tribune for calling him an anarchist Orvy Hulett, foreman of the jury said that they took nine ballots tha can remember" The first one, ac -cording to Leonard Measel, another juror. stood eight to four in favor ot awarding MT. Ford some damages. Attorney Alfred J. Murphy, for MT Ford, said:
 "The important issue in this case has been determined favorably to the plaintiff. He has been vindicated
 Says Ford Didn't Want Coin.
 Money damages were entirely sub ordinate and were not sought by MT Ford. He stands not only vindicated but his attitude as an American cit izen has been justified after trial which raised every issue againts him, which ingenuity and research could present. His friends are entirely sat. isfied."
 Weymouth Kirkland, of counsel for the Tribune, said:
 We call it victory for the reason that Attorney Alfred Lucking, in closing for MT. Ford, stated that any, thing less than substantial damages would be defeat for his client"
 Verdict is Unexpected.
 The end of the great suit, which began three months ago, came when the lawyers and spectators had about made up their minds that they were in for a night of waiting and watch ing, with a mistrial as the probable outcome.
 The jury had been out ten hours when resounding double knock was heard on the high old fashioned door Of the jury room. -r f
 Some of the lawyers had not yet returned from dinner nor had Judge Tucker put in an appearance.
 Baliff Kelley went to the door and then hurried to Walter Steffens, the court clerk, and whispered, "They are ready to report"
 MT. Steffens got Judge Tucker and the absent lawyers on the telephone and in ten minutes all was ready.
 MT. Hulett was plainly laboring under suppressed emotion as he rose and faced the court.
 Have you reached verdict, gen tlemen?" asked Judge Tucker.
 We have, replied the foreman.
 You may deliver it."
 News Agency Not Guilty.
 MT. Hulett first gave the directed verdict of no case against the Solo, mon News company. which distribut- ed copies of the Tribune of June 23, 1916, containing the libel. The award against the Tribune was then given. and the clerk recorded the as the verdict:

PHOENIX. Aug. 14.-In an effort to reduce the cost of living, L.B. Whit ney. assistant attorney general of Arizona, today invoked the aide of district attorneys through the state to investigate any possible infractions of the state antitrust law.
 Pointing out the drastic provisions of the law under which it is illegal for two or more persons to increase or reduce the price of merchandise by understandings among themselves, Mir. Whitney wrote the attorneys:
 We realize that it is almost a Herculean task to gather sufficient evidence to convict persons and cor, porations of responsibility for prof, teering, but we believe if we will CO., operate with this office results can be obtained" He urged that all pos sible evidence of profiteering be gath cred. ~
 The law involved provides a pen alty of a fine of $100 to 5000 and i'm prisonment for from 90 days to six months, for each orrense, with further fines for continued offense.

majority of farms and food deal CTS were not profiteering, but that the suggested amendment to the food control act extending it to clothing and providing a criminal penalty of $5000 fine or two years imprisonment, or both, was neces- sary to make effective the cam paign against those who are dis honestly gouging the public. There was a division of opinion among the senators as to the advisability of the new laws, several declaring that the amendment gave the de. partment of justice too drastic powers over commerce, while oth- CTS questioned the constitution ality of extending the life of the food control act beyond the dec laration of peace, as has been Sus tested.

REVIEW OF FORD CASE.

MT. CLEMENS, Mich, Aug. 13.-It was in June 23, 1916, after Mexican bandits had raided Columbus, N. M., and military preparedness was a burning issue, not only because of the Mexican menace. but because of the conflagration in Europe, that the Chi cago Tribune printed it's famous edi- torial headed Ford is an Anarchist"
 Editorial writers of the Tribune tes- tified that they had followed MT. Ford's pacifistic propaganda, but had not re- cognized it as a real danger to the country until a news item was re- Fceiyed from Detroit that MT. Ford was trying to discourage the recruit ing of the guard which had been or dered to the Rio Grande. The item. authenticity of which was denied by Ford witnesses, stated that the Ford company would not pay the salaries of employees who went to the border. hold their places for them nor care for their dependents.
 It was then that the editorial was written. It called Mir. Ford an "ig- norant idealist" and remarked that his views on disarmament might be diff ferent If his factories were on the Rio Grande instead of the peaceful Can adian border
 Counsel for the manufacturer at first filed suit in the federal court at Chicago, but later withdrew it and instituted proceedings in the state court at Detroit. Here the Tribune ap- piled for a change of venue and Judge James c. Tucker of the circuit court of Macomb county, at Mt. Clemens was agreed upon to hear the case. Selection of jury began May 12 It consisted of eleven farmers and one roadbuilder.
 A feature of the case was the pro- duction by the defenant of more than twenty witnesses from the Mexican border to testify to raids, murders and other acts which to the mind of Tribune counsel established the fact
