wounded but that he is forming a
new army in eastern Chihuahua.
Bread and anti-American riots
are common.
ED PASO, April 23.—General
Gavira reports that the Mexicans are
aroused over the concentration of
more troops at Columbus. The
breach between Obrogon and Car
ranza is widening, causing terrific
riots in the capital.
COLUMBUS, April 23.—Carranza

cents per hundred.
MEXICO CITY, April 23.—General

Eastern Mexico have beon ordered
to concentrate here according to re
ports. Seven thousand arrlvod with
in the past two weeks. The govern
ment has commandeered all rolling
stock on the Mexican railroads in
this vicinity.
Especially at this place animosity
| towards the Americana is growing
fast and reaching a very greet in
tensity.
NfcW YORK, April 23.—On ac
count of conflicting reports as to
quarreling between Carranza and
Obregon, the entire news is now
completely discredited.
GERMAN RULERS CONSULT.
OVER AMERICAN REPLY
WASHINGTON, D. C., April 23.—
Berlin dispatches show that the
Kajser, von Bethman Holweg and
General von Falkentiayne are now
considering • tie American note.
Gerard wires that he and the secro
tary for Foigpign affairs, von Jagow ,
have been in almost Constant con- i
ference since tho receipt of the Inst
note of President Wilson.
Tho German papers with few ex
ceptions, apparently realizing the
gravity of the situation, are now in
favor of making concessions and so
modify the diver warfare as to make
it acceptable to the principles laid
I >
down by the U. ■ Sf State ' Depart
ment. - ’
The German Officials intimate a
possible delay - In the- mattert and
during thabj.tlma- care will’be taken
to prevent any cause, -for American
displeasure. The' United States will
however stand for no more' tempo
BERNSTORFF TO GET BACK
ALL VON INGEL’S PAPERS
WASHNGTON, D. C., April 23.
The demand of Ambassador Berns
torft for tho return of the Igel pa
pers will be scrupulously obeyed and
it has been decided to give them to
him.
The Department of Justice has in
structed that all the documents
must be returned to Bernstorff to
gether with the catalog of names
and the photographic copies of the
originals which have been taken.
This summary order will practi
cally end the controversy that has
existed over the raid of von Papen's
offices.
NEW YORK, April 23.—With the
orders having been issued for the re
j turn of the papers taken belonging
! to von Igel, the papers are discuss
ing whether or not any of these
state documents belonging to the
embassy can be used in a civil pro
secution.
It is understood that the question
' was submitted to international law
experts and they decided that the
papers were privileged, could not t>n
used by the United States prose
cutors and that they should be re
turned to the emhessy which claim
ed them. Theoretically a friendly
power with representation at the
capital can do no wrong and is im
muno, therefore, from prosecution
arising from the acts of its embassy
or the members thereof. Requests
may be made for tho ram aval of
ambassadors, attaches or other sub
ordinates but in all respects the em
bassy is technically privileged.
FORD HAS POLITICAL MEN
GUESS.NG BY VICTORIES
CHICAGO, April 23.—The Fora
victories in the Michigan and Ne
braska primaries have undoubtedly
the political dopcsters guessing
which puzzle is not made any easier
by reason of the fact that the demo
crats themselves voted down the
name of Bryan as one of the Ne^
braska delegates to the convention,
and hence ‘‘Bryan will not be
there”.

I Still, as the papers point out,
i Ford stood as a republican and also
| and mainly as a confessed pacificist
and swept all opposition in tho prl
; maries therefore they conclude a
war president will not be as popular
as people might otherwise imagine.
On the other hand tho democratic
loyalty to Wilson is the reason foi
Bryan’s delegatoship defeat and the
politicians are completely at sea
over the whole matter. Bryan ran
for delegate-at-large.
The republican organization it is
now notorious prefers Root, but the
rank and file have little time for
him and say that he is a hoodoo
They point to the failure of tho New
York Constitution, called the Root
constitution to show where the peo
ple stand upon him.
Hughes and Roosevelt are the
favorites of the republicans, but
Hughes is a very weak man and po
litically a coward who would never
break a lance against Wilson in the
same race unless got to do so by
enormouss influence. Roosevelt Is
now regarded as the logical candi
date and may be nominated.

BOISE, April 21.—Senator Borah
beads the Idaho delegation to the
republican national convention in
Chicago. The delegation is ju i
structed although Borah’s name has

dential possibility.
It Is not improbable that Senator
Borah will by no means antagonize
the efforts which it is anticipate!)

Colonel Roosevelt before the con

In many quarters that Roosevelt
will be the final choice of the re
