CARRANzA IS
GONE, REPORT,
To VERA CRUZ
Revolters Go Steadily on Get
ting Troops Ready to At
tack Mexico City---No Word
From President.
ABDICATE OR FIGHT?
(Ry Associated Pressl

Ell PASO. Tex, May 7.-Mobiliza-
ton of troops, believed to be intended
for use in concerted attack on Mex
leo City. continued today at Juarez
as authentic information regarding
the numerous reports of the flight of
President Carranza before the spread
of the revolution was awaited.
According to the reports here con-
corning the departure of Carranza, his
son-in-law, Candida Aguilar, went to
Vera Cruz several days. ago to pre-
pare for the presidents coming.
T. r. Beltran commercial agent of
the liberal constitutional party at Ell
Paso. is authority for the statement
that impending famine in Mexico City
had forced Carranza to seek a COM
promise with the revolutionary forces.
General P. Elias Gales, command
er of troops in northern Mexico, told
The Associated Press correspondent
yesterday, however, that he did not
believe the revolutionists would con-
slider any proposal until actual condi-
lions upon which a compromise would
! be made were outlined.
Among troops enroute to Juarez, &C
cording to General Jose GonZalo Esco-
bar, commander of Juarez, are 5000
men from Sonora who will arrive at
| Casas Grandes today. General Esco-
bar also announced that Colonel Edu-
ardo F. Porcayo, of the Casas Grandes
garrison. will go to Chihuahua City
to command the S5th cavalry.
WASHINGTON, May IA private
message received here after midnight
from Mexico City, via Laredo, saying
that President CarranZa already had
left the Mexican capital for Vera Cruz,
had not been confirmed in official cir
! Giles today.
According to the message Carranza
| left Mexico City last night accom-
panied by a guard of troops under
command of his son-in-law, Candida
FAguilar, ostensibly was headed for
Vera Cruz.
Analysis Of reports Yesterday on
! the Mexican situation had caused the
revolutionary agents here to predict
that President Carranza would aban-
don the capital soon, either in flight
from the country or to some point
from where he would attempt TO carry
! on government business and direct
military operations against the rebels
i Their view of the situation found some
support in official quarters where the
| greater part Of the reports received
had indicated a steady growth of the
rebellion.
| Rebel agents declared Carranza's
manifesto in which he insisted he
would not surrender the presidency
was not inconsistent with their belief
that he would abandon the capital.
pointing out that he might cling to
the title of presidency from an office
| in Vera Cruz or from any convenient
| refuge.

MINERS 0VERRULED
BY FEDERAL JUDGE
(By Associated Press)

INDIANAPOLIS, May THE plea
in abatement filed yesterday by
Charles Evans Hughes, special coun-
sci for indicted members of the lndl-
ana Mine Workers of America, was
overruled in United States District
court by Judge A B. Anderson, here
today.
Dan w. Simms, of Lafayette, Ind,
special United States district attorney,
filed the governments answer to the
plea in abatement.
The plea in abatement called atten-
ton to part of the instructions CIV
en- by Judge Anderson to the special
grand jury which investigated the coal
situation last winter. 1t attacked that
portion of the instructions which
quoted from a speech of a member of
congress containing alleged state
ments of John L. Lewis, president of
the miners union, concerning combin-
ations between miners and operators.
Makes Vigorous Defense.
Mr.. Simms, speaking for the gov
eminent. made vigorous defense of
the instructions, declaring that every
rule governing the deliberations of a
grand jury had been laid down by the
court. He declared that he had per-
sonally informed the members of the
grand jury of the erroneous statement
of the member of congress concerning
Mr.. Lewis.
Judge Anderson declared that the
instructions of the court were prepar-
ed with special care in order that they
might be fair to all the parties con-
cerned. He said that although the
plea of me defense alleged prejudicial
instructions, that the statement of the
congressman was included that
others besides the miners might be
investigated by the jury"
81 have been around courts a long
time" declared the judge, 'but Solo
mon was wrong when he said that
there is nothing new under the sun"

Malicious Propaganda Is
Talked About Merchants

A new form of malicious propaganda,
designed to iniure retail merchants, is
manifesting itself in Indiana cities.
Within a week two firms in Richmond
have been its victims.
Tales of profiteering by merchants,
their arrest by federal officers, their
arraignment and subsequent release on
heavy bail, are the outlines Of the
stories that are circulated.
Anderson and Newcastle newspapers
have reported the appearance of
identically the same myths that have
been circulated here in the last week.
Two Richmond merchants said they
were aware of the propaganda.

Call Attention, However, to
Fact That Boost is Not
Nearly Equal to Rise in Cost
of Living Since 1914.
CLERKS ARE PAID MORE

With the acceptance Of the report
and recommendations made Dy tne
ways and means committee or the
Teachers Federation in the high
school Thursday, the teachers salary
controversy is practically ended Tor
this year
N c. Heironimus, chairman, read
the report of the activities of the com
mittee and Immediately made mo-
ton that the three resolutions be &C
cepted This was done with an unan1-
nous vote.
These three resolutions are to the
effect that the school board made a
very fair compromise between the
needs of the teachers and the natural
inclinations of the tax paying public ;
that the board has made a fair dis
tribution of the increased salary
budget, the greatest increases going
to the lowest paid teachers and the
least to the highest paid; and that
\ the federation can in no way act as
mediator between individual teach
ers, who feel as though they have been
Disseminated against, and the board
The federation can recommend, how
ever, that a sympathetic hearing be
given these teachers by the school
board
Will Elect May 20.

duties of the federation will be held
at the regular monthly meeting on

mission has been received from the
school superintendent to hold the reg
ular meeting at 4 p. m, instead of
1870 p. m.
N. c.. Heironimus wrote the report
of the ways and means committee and,
as chairman, read it at the special
meeting The following statement
was issued:
TO the Citizens of Richmond:
The Teachers Federation of the
Richmond schools wishes to go on rec
ord as most earnestly desiring the con-
tinuation of the cordial relations be-
tween the school officials and the pub
lie, and the teaching force, which have
been a noticeable feature of the clty's
educational progress for more than a
quarter of century. Our teachers
are willing to make reasonable sac
rifices in these chaotic times rather
than that these relations should be
disturbed and. our school suffer.

the board of education to grant an in.

FARCE. IN SEVERAL
ACTS. IS THE BRITISH
POLITICAL MEETING
By MARY HENkE

LONDON, April 20.-The audience
Is the liveliest part of an English po-
litical meeting. The speakers are
like political speakers everywhere.
They talk about this great democracy
and the people who should go to the
polls and don't, and what's the matter
with the government, and all their op-
ponents.
And they show a regard and esteem
for their lady constituents that is
touching in the extreme. One can
hardly realize that less than 10 short
years ago they were slamming the
suffragists in Jail and suppressing
their paper and solemnly declaring
that if God had meant women to have
the vote He would have given it to
them.
They let women sit on the platform
now and make speeches and even pre-
side at the meeting. And they ad
dress remarks especially to them and
make them feel quite at home.
Audience is Divided
A recent Liberal rally held in one
of the London halls is typical of po-
litical meetings on this side. The au-
dience divides itself unconsciously
into two wings, the right being COM
posed of comfortable, genteel people
who support a political party as a
matter of principle, and the left of
men of the working classes who watch
things underway with a CLINT of the
eye that presages the intention to
start something.
A group of ladies in yellow bows
and large white cotton gloves act as
stewards and more ladies sell liberal
monthly magazines for "tuppence." A
pretty lady with a charming smile
and sweet voice acts as chairman,
and on either side of her are solemn
looking women, with a few men sand
wiched here and there for appear
ance's sake.
ireland Popular Theme
The first speaker starts on Ireland
You can tell he is not an Irishman,
for his manner remains very cold, but
still it is good point against the
government, and he makes the most
of it.
At this moment he declares, with a
stiffly dramatic gesture, Men thrown
into prison without trial, without
requisition, are dying"
Dead" Interrupts the left wing in
a dirge like a chant
Dying!" goes on the speaker.
Dead" insists the left wing again
probably dead" compromises the
speaker, and gets off of ireland as
quickly as he can for fear of giving
the impression Of too much sympathy.
The right wing hears him in dubious
silence. One never knows whether to
applaud anything about Ireland or not,
and when in doubt the best thing is to
keep still.
But all the right wing gets up in
arms when he announces that only
