a messenger had informed him his
brother was injured, whereupon Her
rero left the village. promising to re-
turn. At o'clock on the morning of
May 81 three of Herrero's men en-
tered the presidents hut. stating they
had been ordered to report to him
what the situation was, adding that
nothing new had occurred. Carranza
listened TO the report. and then told
the men to leave.
(The report says this move was
probably for the purpose of ascer-
tainine II all in the hut were in bed
and whether Carranza had changed
his position)

Half an hour later the hut was
attacked from all sides. President
Carranza was heard to cry: L can't
get up; my leg is broken He then
begged for a carbine. SO that he could
defend himself. but was answered by
a volley which ended his life in
stantly.
.'The other occupants Of the hut
fed, as did those in the other shelters,
and there was great confusion In the
village. Herrero, at the head OF his
men, captured many Of the party, who
were taken twelve miles away, while
others We're left in Tlaxcalantongo.
Four or five of these prisoners were
forced to sign a statement that Car
rama had committed suicide. This
statement was dictated by Manuel
Aguirre Berlanga. and written by
Pauline Fontes. director of Mexican
national railways"
These facts are alleged to prove a
conspiracy was prepared in advance
by Herrero. which inspired confidence
in him by Carranza and ended in the
presidents betrayal"
Gen. Neyra and Gen. Sanchez both
testified that Herrero told Gen. Perez
that the men he was looking for
were Luis Cabrera, secretary Of the
treasury; Ygnacio Bonillas. form 81

ENBARCOES PROPOSED
IN PULP WOOD FIGHT

Suggesting embargoes by the United
States on products required by Can
ada for her Industries to meet the
Canadian embargoes on pulp wood,
the House foreign affairs committee
today favorably reported the Senate
resolution for a special commission to
deal with the Dominion government
on the subject.
Canada, the report declared. must
have coal, sulphur and dyes from the
United States or "else suffer a similar
misfortune" to that which afflicts
American publishers.
Embargoes on pulp wood. the report
declared. have restricted building of
paper mills in the United States. and
efforts recently have been made to
prevent Americans from buying pulp
wood lands.
Unless American mills get Canadian
pulp wood, the report declared. they
will be forced to close or move to
Canada.

ARMENIA MANDATE
HEARING PUT OVER
Absence of Mr.. Colby Causes
Foreign Affairs Committee
to Postpone.

Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska.
administration leader In the treaty
fight. said today he did not expect
to support President Wilson's re-
quest for authority to accept a
mandate over Armenia.
IL understand other democratic
members of the foreign relations
committee also will not give their
approval" said Senator Hitchcock.
The meeting of the House foreign
affairs committee. called to consider
President Wilson's request that he be
authorized TO accept a mandate over
Armenia. was postponed today be-
cause of the inability of Secretary
Colby to attend.
Mr.. Colby. who had been asked to
appear. sent word to Chairman Por-
ter that previous engagements would
make 1T impossible for him to meet
the committee either today or tomor-
row No date was announced for the
hearing.
Republican members of the COM
mittee said they were particularly
anxious to get Mr. Colby's views be-
fore reporting to the House. although
they were outspoken in their opposi-
ton to the mandate and declared the
President request would be refused.
1t is the plan OF the leaders to have
the House act first SO as to make
consideration by the Senate unneces-
sary.
President Wilson was asked in a
resolution introduced today by Rep
resentative Mason, republican. Illi-
nois, for full Information as to the
cost and number of troops required
in connection with his proposal to
accept mandate.
On the ground that Congress
should know before adding to the
burden of the -overtaxed people," Mr..
Mason sought information speciflcal-
ly as to whether the President, in
the event his request was granted, in
tended to use Regular Army men, VOL
unteers or resort to conscription in
raising mandate forces

WEIGHT STANDARD
Of BREAD NEEDED
Minnesota's Commissioner
Gives Address at Bureau
of Standards.

Weight Standardization of bread is
the only solution of placing the staff
Of life upon a secure basis. where a
loaf Of bread means a legally estab-
lished weight, and the same weight
for rich and poor alike" said Charles
{. Neale. state commissioner OF
weights and measures of Minnesota.
Of the conference on weights and
measures of the United States at the
bureau of standards today.
Mr.. Neale. who is a native OF Min
neapolis and has been closely identi-
fed with the -four industry all of his
been shown of late to justify the pre-
diction that the bread loaf measure
ment proposition is bound to come.
Bakers See "Hnndwriting."
Bakers all over the country see the
handwriting on the wall" he said.
and the progressive ones are strong
ly advocating weight Standardization.
Public opinion demands 1t.
There are some few who claim that
1t will be harmful to the business.
but my answer to them Is. how did
they get along under the Food Ad-
ministration?"
He said that labelling Of bread al
ready passed by ordinance was time
wasted. and that IL bakers identifi-
cation marks were absolutely neces-
sary this could be done easily by up
raised letters in the bottom of pans.
In conclusion. Mr.. Neale said that
aside from the uniformity in weight to
be derived from bread STANDARDIZATION
such legislation would be the1means
of meeting the demands of public
opinion. securing efficiency and econ
omy in baking. and controlling and
curbing inferior competition.

tary Wilson continued. and there was
nothing to indicate what would be

Despite tho warning of President

PREDICTS EVENTUAL
DROP IN SHOE PRICES

Lower shoe prices late next winter
and spring were predicted yesterday by
Edward A. Brand. secretary of the Tan
ners' Council of the United States. testi-
flying before Senate committee of in
quiry.
Tanners and manufa cturers' believe
prices will fall by that time. Mr. Brand
said. because Of tho recent decline in
leather prices. This decline could not
sooner be reflected in shoe costs. he said
because shoes are made up far in ad-
vance of the season in which they are
offered on the market.
Local shoe dealers pointed out today
that their orders for next fall and win
ter shoes have been placed and. there
fore. the lower leather prices cannot be
reflected in their cost prices until next
spring.
