Prior to pleading, the prisoners were i $0ld to select from the clustér of law- Yers employed to defend them four men to act as their attorneys. They selected Francis J. Greco, who was ¥ entered as attorney of record, John Falmieri. Simeon O, Pollock and Isidor E. Schlisinger. ) Piot Not Before Court.

The plight of Americans, however, has been of increasing concern, for there are more citizens of the United States in Mexico City than of any other country. Obregon’s repudia- tion of Villa's currency worked the first hardship because it made many wealthy folk penniless. . The poor rioted, clamoring for bread and Obre- gon, in published announcements, practically sanctioned plunder and rioting, even predicting the evacua- tion of his own forces if the riots developed into extensive demonstra- tions. An international relief committee, composed of residents of the foreign colony, came forward with an offer of 250,000 pesos to buy food and take charge of the situation, but Qbreg refused freignt facilities or permission to undertake the work. The commit- tee recently sent a petition to the state department, described as of a most sensational character. Secretary Bryan has constantly de- clined to make it public although ap- prised that the object of the commit- tee In sending it was to give the state- ment publicity in the United States. Mr. Bryan believes that in the cir- cumstances, while the American gov- ernment is bringing strong pressure to bear on Carranza it will not as- sist the plight of foreigners in Mexico, if the statement is published. The retition is believed to be one of the factors that influenced the Washington government to send its note of warn- ing to Carranza, although despatches from the Brazilian minister and other cdiplomatic representatives at Mexico City have brought advices of a similar nature. Time for Callers. In order to give his entire time to consideration of European and Mexi- can questions, President Wilson will see White House callers only for an hour Wednesdays and Thursdays dur- ing the spring and summer. He will be in almost constant communication with Secretary Bryan and Counselor Lansing, of the state department. American government officials pin their hopes for an improvement of conditions in Mexico City on Gen. Car- ranza. There were indications, it wag said today, that he might instruct General Obregon in command at the capital to accept aid proffered by an international relief committee there, which has made up a relief fund and asked for transportation facilities necessary to bring supplies into the city. Two communications sent by .the ‘Washington government to Carranza at Vera Cruz have pointed out in strong terms the serious consequences that might follow if foreigners in the capital are unable to get food and supplies. Conditions in the city are described in state department despat- ches as desperate, the people there fearing the effects of the famine and the threatened rioting in the event of General Obrégon’s forces evacuating. Administration officials make no ef- fort to minimize the gravity of the situation, although they do not re- gard it as altogether hopeless. Talk of some form of allied intervention centinued in diplomatic circles to- day. Returning to Mexican Waters. Secretary Daniels announced today that with the exception of the gun- boat .Petrel, now returning from Mo- bile to Mexican waters, in accord- ance with previous plans, no addi- tions are contemplated to the Ameri- can warships now on the east coast of Mexico. The return of the Petrel to Vera Cruz, he said, was not due tc orders resulting from the present situation at Mexico City or Vera Cruz, The battleship Delaware is at Vera Cruz, the gunboat Sacramento at Tampico and the cruiser Des Moines ig on her way from Progreso to Vera Cruz as part of regular movement from place to place on observation trips.
