CRITICISMS OF

Cox'S Manager Says Attacks
on the President May Re-
suit in the League Issue
Becoming Leading One.


san Francisco, June 22.-"NO
man will get anywhere by subject
ing the president to either open at
tack or sneering reference" said
f.. II. Moore, manager of the cam
paign of Governor Cox, of Ohio, for
the democratic presidential nomi-
nation, in a statement today reply
ing to the charge made by Will
lam +. McCombs, of New York,
that the president has been "auto-
cratic" in assumption of authority.
Mr.. Moorcs statement follows:
My attention has been called to IL
statement made by Mr. McCombs,
attacking the league of nations and
incidentally the president.
'Mr. MCCOmbs, who is my friend
and for whose ability | have always
had a high regard, has fallen into
the error Of many men who have
the fatal gift of sarcasm and who
cannot resist the temptation to say
things which do irreparable dam
age to the cause they represent.
The surcst method of having
the democratic platform make the
league of nations the leading issue
is for its enemies to attack the
president. President Wilson has
not only the admiration of the dem
ocratic party, but it's entire sympa-
thy in his efforts to advance the
cause of humanity. Besides being
the titular head of the democratic
party he is also president of the
United States and no man will get
anywhere by subjecting him to
either open attack or sneering

UNITED STATES
TRADE BALANCE
IS 7 BILLIONS
Since Beginning of the War
In 1914 This Country Has
Made Wonderful Strides
In Export Business.

Washington, June 20 (by the
Associated Press) Since the be-
ginning Of the world war in 1914,
the United States has rolled up
a trade balance of approximately
seventeen billion dollars against
the world. This exceeds by sew
eral billions of dollars the total
balance in favor of the United
States from 1875 to 1914.
Department of Commerce fig
ures today show that the trade
balance made in favor of the
United States in the fiscal year
ending in 1914 one month before
the war began, was only $470,-
100000. During the first year of
the war it was $l,094, 900 and
in the next year, ending June 80,
1916, it was S2,135, ,599,375. Dur
ing the succeeding year the total
was $3.50, 3,209,
Meantime the United States had
entered the war, and in the year
ending June 80, 191S-the first
full fiscal year of Americas par
ticipation-the balance was only
$2,974,055,973. In the next year
ending last June 80, however, it
was s4,136, 562, ,61S,
During the first eleven months
of this fiscal year the balance was
only $2,7S8,451. .602, but exports
were larger in these eleven months
than in any other full fiscal year
in the nations history, totaling
$7,474 4,193,349, against the pre-
vious IL months records of ST.
252,2S2,6S6. made during the last
fiscal year.
At the same time that Americas
export trade began to advance by
leaps and bounds, the import trade
reaching a new high record of
also showed an enormous increase,
$4,6S5,741,747 during the eleven
months of the present fiscal year.
The previous high record was s3,-
095, ,720,06S last year
Most of the favorable trade pal-
ance of the United States has been
against the allied and neltral
countries of Europe. Many of the
South American and North Amer
ican countries, and some of those
in the far east have a balance
against the United States.

LOCAL STRIKES
CAUSE SPLIT IN
BUILDING TRADES

The settlement of the painters
and teamsters' strikes was stiU at
standstil last night after the
meeting and report of the ballots
taken separately by each of the
eight building trades unions. The
referendum vote was a spit four
voting to continue the strikes and
four to discontinue.
Carpenters and electricians with
drew from the building trades
unions after numerous heated dis
cussions and when it became ap-
parent that no compromise could
be arrived at, They opposed the
continuance OF the strikes. on
their withdrawal four unions were
left in favor of the strikes and two
against.
While on the face of it it appears
that the painters and teamsters
have won a victory the actual case
Is that they have met with defeat,
the carpenters union having a
,arger membership than all the
building trades combined. Add
ed to this is the strength
Of the electricians organiZa-
ton. Nothing was given out as
to the possibility of the plumbers
asking raise Of from 50 to $40
per day. but the matter may come
up before a meeting Thursday.
The Albuquerque Contractors
association met last night at the
Chamber of Commerce and al
though nothing was given out Of
ficially it was learned that they
would continue in their refusal to
meet the strikers demands. 1t
was stated that the contractors had
agreed to fight against an open
shop town and give long contracts
If the painters and teamsters would
withdraw their wage demands, 1T
was also learned last night that If
these demands were not with
drawn the contractors were organ
ized for long fight.
A notice was inserted in this is
sue of the Morning. Journal by the
asking all members of
the association to be present at
meeting tonight when a report
from the building trades unions is
expected. Just what the split in
mean is matter of conjecture. 1t
mean is a matter of CONNECTIONS, it
being seen that a majority of the
unions remain in favor Of continu-
ing the fight. With the withdrawal

Mexico City, June 20 (by the As

words shortly before his death, the
position of his body when found,
the nature of the wounds and the
three empty cartridges indicated
that the president committed sui.
eide, according to Major Ernesto
Herrero, upon whose report Gen
eral Rodolfo Herrero, who is
charged with responsibility for the
late presidents death. bases his
oft repeated statement that Car
rama killed himself. Ernesto
Herrero made this assertion during
an interview with the Associated
Press correspondent today. Ernes-
to and Rodolfo are cousins.
Relating the story of the battle
of TlaxcalantOngo In the early
morning Of May 21. Major Herrero
said:
Twenty minutes after firing
stopped my men and I, who had
been forced to retire by the fire of
Carranza's escort, knocked at the
door of the presidents hut When
we received no answer we shouted
we would fire if the door was not
opened.
I'VE then received a reply assur-
ing us of admittance, but we were
ordered to have a light to avoid a
surprise attack as we entered.
This was done and we passed into
the hut, no shots being fired by
either side.
"Berlanga, minister of the inter-
ior in President Carranza cabinet,
advanced toward us and appeared
to fear we would harm him. From
the direction of the gaze of his two
or three companions, I learned in
what part of the hut Carranza lay.
He was lying on his right side with
his hand clutching pistol from
which three shots had been fired.
His shirt showed powder marks.
"Berlanga said that Carranza
had told his companions he was
wounded in the leg and that those
who could had better save them
selves because he was unable to do
so. Berlanga expressed belief that
Carranza had committed suicide
and so declared in signed state
ment later. l examined the body
but could find no leg wound
Gen. Rodolfo Herrero, who was
present at the interview, pointed
out that the wound in Carranza's
chest had been made by an old
pistol. which he said was
found in the presidents hand, and
not by rifle fire. Rodolfo denied
he had assigned huts to the Car
ranza party and asserted the bullet
holes concentrated in the corner of
he hut where Carranza lay "might
have been made later by the pres
dents followers to throw suspicion
oward me-"
"Carranzas escort was capable
