. —— OBREGONTOGNEUP PURCHASE OF SHIPS| Sale of Former V. S. War-; ships, Now in Private Hands, | Believed Unethical. Although no legal barrier exists azainst the sale to Mexico by private citizens of war vessels disposed of by the United States government prior to the Washington arms conference, the Obregon representatives in this country are expected to drop nego- tiations for such purchases because of the feellng of administration of- flclals that the transactions would vi- | Conference Speaker olate the spirit of American lreulyl obligations. A number of vessels sultable for use by the Mexican government against the revolutionists are in pri- vate hands In the United States, but the Obregon representatives are un- derstood to have been informed that these shios are regarded as subject, morally at last, to the same restric- tions as have been imposed upon the resale of naval craft sold by the Navy Department since the confer- ence, that they must not be per- mitted to become part of the naval forces of any other count?y without the sanction of the government. The Obregon government’s request for purchase of surplus war craft direct from the United States was re- fused in conformance with the same obligation, as dictated by the naval limitation tredty. One of the most troublesome points i the M ion_was cleared &way yesterday when Consul Wood t Vera Cruz reported that the rebel leader, Adolfo de la Huerta, had ordered the removal of all mines and obstructions from the harbors of Frontera, Puerto, Mexico, and Vera s a result of the American pro- Withdrawal of American naval craft from the vicinity of Tampico also is expected shortly, if the 1ifting of the rebel blockade there is found be permanent and not involved Wwith ohjectionable alternatives, In revolutionary headquarters circles here, however, it was learned that the rebel leaders had in mind rather a ange in form than an abandonment of their blockade plan. Orders to the rebel gunboats, it w aid, would be 1o warn merchant ve: that they Would pass at their own risk between the war vessels and the shore targets of bombardment ship guns. State Department officials have em- phasized at every opportunity, how ever, that since belligerency of the Tebel faction was not recognized by the United States, no rebel interfer- ence with legitimate American com- merce could or would be tolerated. ARRIVE FOR SHIP. Commission in Philadelphia—=Se- crecy Is Maintained. By the Associated Press. PHILADELPHIA, January 2.

Dal- linger of Massachusetts, chairman of the House committee on education, today introduced & bill to amend the Civil Service retirement act.

Gibbs of Baltimore, in an address yesterday at the reglonal conference of democratic women from the middle Atlantic states, urged the women to take a hand In’the move- ment looking to its modification. “Let us handle this question on the basis of state rights.” she said. “Then if New York wants to be as wet as the ocean and Georgia wants to be dry, both can have their own way.” Mrs. George Reese, a delegate from New York, sald the women of that state were strongly organized and de- termined that prohibition should re- main effective.

Bertsall Phillips, the league | tuna collector, to share in Phillips’ excess commissions, Anderson's at- torneys declared today, in outlining the defense they would make against the forgery charge on which he Is being tried. Colley Willlams, one of the attor- neys, said that under this contract Anderson dgreed’ that PhiMips would not have to pay income taxes on the moneys he turned over to Anderson. He admitted that Anderson, as brought out by the prosecution yes- terday, ordered the transfer of one ntry of $4,400 from Phillips’ salary account to his hotel and traveling expenses account. The defense, he continued, would prove that the cawe now before the Jury was one purely of bookkeeping and that the prosecution had either been badly advised about the mye- teries of bookkeeping or had pro- ceeded recklessly in making its cusations, ir.
