Cabrera Prediction Borne Out
Since that time, Mr. Canada said,
Carranza has carried out policy CON
forming with Cabrera's statement. "No
protest made against mistreatment of
Americans has ever been considered +"
he declared. II would report to the
department.; an American note would
be written CarranZa and he would dis
pute and evade, and nothing would be
done. Every plantation owned by
Americans has been ruined, except one
or two, where graft paid officials has
protected them"

related by Francis P. Joyce, United

"Huerta was arrested as intending a
violation Of the neutrality laws" Father
Joyce said, "and kept in the common
jail five days. Then Mrs. Huerta got
$4,000 and was allowed to bail him out.
He had caught a cold in Jail was
afraid it was pneumonia and that he
would die. He called me UP a day or so
later and said man named Dubose,
who was a Federal officer, had called
upon him and said he would be sent
back to jail unless he paid Dubose
$4,000. I told him to pay no attention
to it. Next day he called again and
said that Dubose had raised the price
to $4,000. Again told him he was be-
ing held on bail and need not fear. He
said he was afraid it would kill him to
go back.
Next day he was rearrested and
thrown back into prison. Immediately
brought a complaint and he was re-
leased That night man came to the
house, Mrs. Huerta told me, speaking
very excellent Spanish, processing him
self to be doctor and great admirer
of Huerta.

sition to the granting of the petit
ton. Robert c. Aston, general coun-
sci for the compayn, told the COM

states had already granted similar
increases.
The commission also heard Thurs

Labor Federation Has
No ''Cox for President
Fund, Says Secretary

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2S.-Enemies
of labor are trying to conceal under
cloud of "misstatement and irrele-
vancies" the true aim of non-partisan
political campaign conducted by the
American Federation of Labor, Sec
rotary Frank Morrison said Thurs
day.
Morrison denied that the fedora
ton has called upon state declarations
to set aside "Cox for president" funds
or that the federation had sent out
large sums for campaign purposes.
Morrison branded as false statements
that $150.O00 had been sent to Kan
SaS.
''The work of the federation's nom
partisan political campaign commit
tee has been limited to the publish
ing of literature, to the work of or
ganization and to the routing OF some
Speakers" Morrison said, declaring
the cost of this was represented by
Il decidedly modest sum.
