Driuisag Out americans
Declared Carra1,zU PLar,

WASHINGTON. Dec. 10.-Further
testimony taken by the Fall committee
Investigating Mexican affairs, made
public to-day, pictures the Carranza
government as regarding all diplomatic
protests Of the American government
as perfunc.ory, and accredts to Of
ticials of the Mexican government a
policy of driving Americans out OF the
country.
The committee made public the testi-
mony of w. +. Buckley, an American
lawyer, long resident in Tampico, and
one of the we'll known men of the
American colony in Mexico.
Luis Cabrera (Mexican Minister Of
FinaAce) told me very frankly" testi-
fed Buckley, "tnao the menace of the
American in Mexico must be removed
and that the only way to do this was
to drive him out of the country and
take his property"
Gle explained to me-" the witness
ne was pleased to term AN advanced
liberal, great democrat whose con-
Germ was for the welfare of the people
OF the world and was not limited to
the narrow bounds Of The United
States" "He said" continued Buckley,
MIR. Wilson was opposed to capital in
Mexico and everywhere else, no matter
10 whom the capital belonged, and that
in expelling the American from Mexico
the Constitutionalists would receive
The sympathy OF the American govern
ment."
Buckley assailed the attitude Of the
oil companies in Mexico.
"The Mexican situation has been
made too much of an oil question:" he
told the committee, "and has been
confused too much with oil. The OIL,
companies have suffered and arc en-
titled to relief, but their suffering has
been nothing as compared to that of
the American of smaller means" The
oil companies, Buckley charged, hal
pursued a weak and vacillating policy
every similar to that of the American
government in handling the general
Mexican situation"

Capt. Miller, Honored
For: Disobeying, Dies
Disregard of Orders Said to
Have Saved the Day at
Gettysburg
Special CorresDondence


CARLISLE, Pa, Dec. 10.-Captain
William E. Miller, eighty-three, the
only soldier in this country to receive
the he'Congressional Medal of Honor for
disobcdicnce of orders in the face of
enemy at critical period in one of
the worlds greatest battles, died here
this morning.
Captain Miller, who was in command
of small squadron of the Sd Penn
sylvania Cavalry, was credited by mil
ltary authorities with having turned
the tide Of battle on the third day at
Gettysburg, when the decision Of the
battle wavered. Captain Miller, under
special orders to hold certain posi-
tion at all hazards, saw Wade Hamp-
toms cavalry division, numbering 5000
men,. sweeping down on Clusters 1000
cavalrymen. Captain Miller decided
to disobey his orders and throw his
men against the 5000, and he did so
with such success that the Wade
Hampton charge was broken complete
ly and the center of the Union army
was saved.
Captain Miller was born al West
Hill, Pa. He was twice Mayor of
Carlisle, and served in the Pennsyl-
vania State Senate for two terms. For
many years he was business head of
the Cumberland County Agricultural
Society, the oldest fair in this coun-
try, and he was also interested in
many industrial enterprises in south
ern Pennsylvania
Captain Miller was married twice.

California Republicans
Ask Adoption of Treaty

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 1o.-Nearly
ecrty prominent California Republicans
have telegraphed Will H. Hays, chair
man of the Republican National Com
mittee, g Joint appeal to urge Repub-
lican Senators to ratify the peace
treaty Immediately, without reserva-
tions or amendments which would re-
quire its resubmission. The telegram,
made public here to-day by the Cali
fornia branch of the League to Enforce
Peace, follows in part:
The undersigned Republicans of
California, concerned for their party
and their country, respectfully urge
~ - vo'l and the other members of the
Republican National Committee the ne.
cesssty Tor the immediate ratification
OF the peace treaty.
"The defeat of the treaty and a sep
arate peace with Germany will be a
betrayal Of our allies and a victory for
Germany. The responsibility for this
if the treaty fails cannot be shifted or
concealed. 1t will rest upon the ma
jority of the Republican Senators. We
re confident that the vast majority Of
the Republicans, in this state at least,
are IN favor Of the treaty."

MIR. Bolte said tonight that he hadn't
determined whether to seek the release
OF White through hAbeas corpus pro-
ceed'ngs.
White is entirely guiltless," no
said. land not shred Of evidence
has been offered to excuse his arrest
l know I could win his release or force
dence, but It may be best to hurry
trial that will clear Whites namc for
ever.
CAS- for MIRA. Jones, am planning to
ask Common Pleas Judge Robert In
gersoll to fix bail for her. When I
talked with her in Jail yesterday she
didn't throw her arms out, begging for
help; instead, she maintained a calm
and dignihed attitude. She assured
me she did not know a single fact
about the child's disappearance that
wasn't known to every one. Mrs. Jones
Is in no condition to be in jail. She
broke her hip about two years ago, and
this is q serious matter in an aged
woman. She has to be helped, and I
don't want her kept in Jail"
Notes Figure in Evidence
Edward White, father Of Charles, said
to-day the detectives had told him that
some of their evidence against Mrs.
Jones was based Oh statements by hand
writing experts. Mr. White said:
Tine story they told me was that
these experts had compared letter of
coincidence from Mrs. Jones to Mrs.
Dansey with another letter mailed in
Newar,. and signed with the initials
J. P This ANONYMOUS letter said that
the boys body had been concealed in
the swamp. The writer said he had
been taken by mistake for Bunny
White, my grandson. The detectives
indicated that tho letter and others
of the same sort had been written in
Tammonton and then mailed in Newark
to divert suspicion from the guilty.
It's lot of rot, but that is tho story
they arc telling"
When Detective Wilson was asked
about this and other revelations" at
tributed to him he said:
u haven't told a single eoul any
thing about our evidence, excepting
only Pross cutor Gaskill and Detective
Benjamin Nusbaum l didn't tell Mr..
White and next-door neighbor Of the
accidental. AS matter of fact,
haven't made up my mind about that"
Susan White, sister-in-law OF Charles
White and next door neighbor Of tho
Denseys, with the warrant that has
been issued for her arrest, charging
her with being an accessory after the
fact in the murder of Billy Dansey.
Mrs Blanche White told newspaper
men that if her sister-in-law was ar
rested it would mean the reath of one
Of her two sick children.

A Cleanup

About the first of June Mayor
Fisher, having heard many complaints
of houses being operated, unmolested,
in the Borough, for various illegal M
immoral purposes, decided, after con-
ference with the Prosecuting Attor-
ney, to take the initiative and procure
some evidence against them.
C. r. Russell, a member of the ponce
force. was relieved of street duty
and as a plain clothes man began
gathering the necessary evidence to
nut such places out of business.
He soon had five places on his list
but two of them evidently got wind of
what was coming to them and slipped
out.
Three places were raided, all on Will
lis Street. Russell was fortunate IN
securing the proprietors or principals
in each case and enough patrons as
witnesses to furnish the evidence he
needed.
Charles Peterson, white, who it is al
legged lived with a colored woman and
harbored colored men indiscriminately
with white patrons, was one victim.
Cicero Farrell, colored, was another,
and Mae Williams a colored woman,
made up the trio. +,
AS there were no Justices handy at
the time in Penns Grove, the prisoners
we're taken before Squire Cable in the
township. He placed them under
$1,000 bail for Court, in default OF
which they were taken to Salem jail.
Peterson and Farrell appeared before
the Court at a special Friday hearing
and confessed their guilt. Peterson
was fined 500 and costs and sent to
the stone road camp for A months.
Farrell was fined $50 and costs and
will also serve 4 months on the stone
road.
Mae Williams, the colored woman,
still languisheS in Jail, preferTing to
take a chance with the Grand Jury at
the September term of Court.
These were all notorious joints and
the Borough is well rid of them to-
rether with their proprietors and their
refarious practices, and Mayor Fisher
and his plain clothes men under
Officer Russell are to be commended
accordingly for their good work.
