Washington, Jan. Spring- the British ambassador, transmitted to the state department yesterday a copy of a mail report from Charge Hohler of the British legation City, saying conditions 5.—S8ir Cecil Rice, in Mexico jthere a week ago ‘were deplorable. High commendation was given Ed- Iturbide, gavernor of the federal district, for his efforts in saving the lives of Britons and Amer- icans the Zapata forces Since then Iturbide in getting out of the Mexican officials who to execute him and, ac- official reports received he is now in the United States. Since Charge Hohler”s report was sent, conditions have improved, ac- cording to state department advices. The Mexican convention reassembled uardo former when tered the city. has succeeded hands of the threatened cording to today, en- | yesterday and discussed credentials of delegates. Adjustment Anticipated. Neither the war nor state depart- ments had any further advices as to the situation at Naco, but the belief prevailed that an adjustment of the difficulties there would be reached on the arrival of General Juan Cabral with 8,000 Gutierrez troops. Elisco Arrendondo, head of the Carranza agency here, issued a state- ment last night summarizing dis- patches from Vera Cruz, confirming reports of the capture of General Jesus Carranza, brother of the first chief, by General Alfonso Santibanez in San Geronimo, state of Oaxaca, on December 30. The general, his son and nephew, are being held as hostages, but his entire staff has been executed by Santibanez. The state- ment said: Entered Revolutionary Army. ‘‘General Santibanez entered the ranks of the constitutionalist revo- lutionary army at the close of the Huerta regime. He succeeded in gaining the confidence of General Jesus Carranza, who supplied him with troops'and munitions of war and finally succeeded in having him named military commander of the Isthmus of Tehauntepec. “‘General Carranza was totally un- aware of the defection of Santibanez when he approached San Geronimo, and was so certain of his lovalty that he was traveling with but the lightest of escorts. Makes Serious Threats. “The first chief has received word | from Santibanez that if he will sanc- tion some unknown arrangements claimed to have been made between Santibanez and General Jesus Car- ranza, and will pardon his treachery and allow him to retain his military office, he will release General Car- ranza and his two relatives. He makes the threat that unless his conditions are .met, he will execute General Jesus Carranza and his son and nephew. ‘‘Carranza’s reply, feelingly dictated, wa ‘Such traitorous conduct can receive no pardon. If my brother’s death is a necessary step toward the triumph of our principles and the es- tablishment of peace, I am willing that he die.

Troops Rout Santibanez. “The first chief as soon as he was aware of the plight of General Can- ranza, ordered troops to the isthmus. Yesterday they routed Santibanez’s column near San Geronimo and the traitor with 150 men fled to the town of Chihuitan, in the mountains of Oaxaca. . “The first telegrams received by the chief from the isthmus purported to have been sent by his brother, and were to the effect that no more troops should be ordered south. These were in reality sent by Santibanez, and it was only through a telegram received from C. R. Cabrera that the true situation was first ascertained.” MAY ABANDON NAVAL PARADE AT PANAMA Great Earth Slides in Canal Might Possibly Interfere With Passage of Dréadnoughts. Washington, Jan. 5.-—The possibil- ity of a postponement of the cruise of the international fleet from Hampton Roads to San Francisco through the Panama canal in connection with the opening of the canal and the Panama- Pacific exposition, was suggested yes- terday in the course of a conference between Secretary Garrison and Colonel Goethals, governor of the canal. Though the great earth slides at Cucuracha apparently have been con- quered, according to Colonel Goeth- alg’ report, the earth movements con- tinue in the neighborhood of Fold Hill. At that point the superincum- bent masses of earth on the side of the canal, by their great pressure, are forcing rock and soil in great quantities into the canal prism. The movement is sufficiently extensive to require the continuous employment of dredges to maintain the channel. While this can be done to meet the needs of the present number and size of vesscls thatare applying for pas- sage, Colonel Goethals reported that he cculd not guarantee that there would be a channel broad enough and deep enough for the great dread- noughts which will make up the n al parade, by the date they are pected to arrive at Cristobal spring. As the e next of the fleet from program | the time it gathers at Hampton Roads to its arrival at San Francisco is prescribed by law, the officials are now considering whether it will he necessary to secure special legisiation in case it is decided to atandon or postpone the cruise because of the conditions in the canal.

Springfield, Mass., Jan. 5.—Presi- dent Arthur T. Hadley, of Yale Uni- versity, spoke on the railroad situa- tion, with special reference to the New York, New Haven and Hartford road, before the Twentieth Century Limited club, of this city, last night. He said in substance: “The present condition of the New Haven road was brought about by a combination of some unwise finance with a great deal of unwise operation and unwise politics. Little Financial Irregularity. ““At the end of 1913 the New Haven road had outstanding about $75,000,- 000 of stock and $8,000,000 of fixed annual charges ahead of the stock. Ten years later its outstanding stock had increased to $150,000,000 and its annual charges to $21,00,000. Dur- ing the decade the management had | issued securities and obligations to the value of $360,000,000. One quar- ter of this sum represented mere re- funding operations; one quarter was for improvements in the road itself; one quarter for the purchase of con- necting railroads and steamship lines. and one quarter for trolley, properties. Most of the purchases were made as early as 1907. The prices paid were high, but there was very ‘little finan- | cial irregularity and Rhode Island and developments, little called recklessness. except in the Berkshire trolley that could be The purchase of the New York, Weschester and Bos- ton, which has been more severely criticized than any other, was justi- fied by the necessity of controlling an important entrance to Néew city. or three or four years all York | went well. The securities paid dividends, { the company’s credit and prospects mnmlnued good. Then adverse politi- { cal conditions came into play. The , interstapte commerce act of 1910 pre- | vented the rallroads from ralsing | their rates at a time when everybody | else was raising theirs. In 1913 the | s New Haven road paid $9,000,000 more for wages and fual than would have been the case at the prices which pre- valled ten years earMer, and received | no more for its services. This trouble | was felt by railroads throughout the country, but it bore peculiarly hard on the New Haven because this road | derived so large a part of its revenue | from passengers. Methods of handling | | freight had become more economical | as the volume of traffic increased. ! Methods of handling passengers be- | came more expensive under the same conditions. The authorities of New York state compelled the New Haven road to do its commutation passenger business at rates which meant a di- rect loss of nearly $1,000,000 a year. The United States government penal- | ized the road an equal amount for | the carriage of the mails amount for ‘ the car-taken together, would have involved a serious reduction of the New Haven dividend even if there had been no outside purchases of any | kind. | | | | Unwise Measures Adopted. “To meet this deficlency in cur- ; rent income unwise measures were adopted. Instead of cutting off un- | profitable services and paying strict attention to discipline, the manage- ment economized on maintenance. | The effect of this false economy was seen in an appalling series of ratl- road accidents. A change in the ! headship of the company in 19813 stopped the accidents Immediately | jand gradually introduced much-need- ed reforms in the operation of the railroad. But meantime two new ele- ments had entered into the situation —=a commercial depression which greatly reduced the railroad traffic of New England and a desire on the | part of the government to dissolve ‘*the system by a prosecution under the Sherman act. What would have | been the outcome of such a prosecu- | tion if the case had come to trial, no one can tell, Under ordinary circum- | should recover from the present de- January Sale ijery Women's 25¢ COTTON AND ME ULAR AND EXTRA WIDE ON SBALE AT.

Under existing condition such a suit would have meant a Te- ceivership. The best the company | could do was to obtain a decree which would allow adequate time for the sale of its holdings in other trans- portation lines =o that the stock- holders might obtain a fair price for them. “If the business of the country, and particularly that of New England pression within a reasonable time, the economics already brought about by Mr, Elliott, eoupled with the more friendly policy of the interstate com- merce commission to the road in the | matter of rates, are sufficient to in- sure a substantial surplus of earnings above expenses from the road itself; while the terms of the supréme court decree regarding the sale of outaide holdings and the excellence of the England’s Losses on Sea Greater Than Those of Her Enemy, Germany | eriminal trustees are such | that the lo be by no one time | INSTR/ FOR New Yo lfeemen South 00 for the fin departm der the education.
