GS BANK CASE, ton Sept. 23.—Interest in 0 the probable consequen- * suit brought by officials iggs National bank against ton Willlams, Comptroller ency, and Secretary of McAdoo last spring was erday when Vice-Prest- i E. Tiles and Assistant Evans of the bank and ‘Wwho have figured in 'd before the Federul Chief Subject of Discussion at Franco- Italian Conferemce at Cernobbio, Italy. Berlin, Sept, 23 by wireless to Tuck- erton, N. J.,—“Particulars of the Franco-Italian economic conference at Cernobbio, Italy, are beginning to leak out,” says the Overseas News Agency today. “The chief subject | of discussion was a boycott of Ger- accomplished by providing lines of commfunication from Eng- land to Italy via Marseilles and Genoa, thus doing away with the Fresent system of international traf- fic and shutting out the German rail- ways. ““A realization of this plan means serious damage to Switzerland as that country is the connecting link in the North and South route. Swiss public men are carefully following the course of tha negotiations with a view to preventirg the proposed boy- cott of Germany from having an in- jurious effect upon Swlis interests.”’ The foreginng apparently refers to the Franco-Italian conference ac- counts of which were given in Par:s despatches. on Sept. 19, forwarding advices from Tomo, Italy, where:the ccnference had been held. It was stated in the Paris despatches that the objech of he gé)hering was the drawing of the people of France and Italy into a closer understanding and sympathy. It was said Great Britain Fussia and Belgium would partici- pate in a later conference. ANARCHY IN MEXICO PREDICTED BY GARZA T. S. Warned of Result Should “First Chief” Be Recognized as Ruler of Republic. ‘Washington, Sept. 23.—Publication today of a warning by Roque C(on- zalés Garza that recognition of Gen- eral Carranza by the American na- tions would bring on- anarchy in Mexico brought sharply to the atten- tion of official Washington the fight the Villa element is expected to make on any Mexican pacification plan that @Goes mnot include the northern chief- tain’s supporters ae possible factors. Garza, who was one time president of the Convention, is here to forward the peace convention plan which the Villa and Zapata elements have ac- cepted at the invitation of the Pan- American conferees. Recognition of Carranza, Garza declares, would result in a situation that would be terrible in its conse- quences and he urges that the con- vention be held to establish a pro- visional government regardless of Carranza’s refusal to participate. He says that Carranza, next to Huerta, is the most hated man in Mexico, and predicts that, if recognized, he would prove his incapacity in a month. Garza describes the military situa- tion as a deadlock between the op- posing factions and denies Carranza’s claim to control the greater part of Mexican territory. Carranza’s delay in removing to Mexico City, Garza as- serts, is due to fear that such a step would be followed by occupation of Vera Cruz by his enemies. STATE ON FEDERAL CONTROL.

Trinidad, Col, Sept. 23.—John D. Rockefeller, Jr., on his tour of in- spection of Colorado Fuel and Iron properties, today left Las ward through a stretch of hilly country magde historic by a succession bf battles in the miners’ strike of He expected to spend to- night at Walsenburg, 46 miies north of Trinidad. Before leaving Trinidad Mr. Rocke- feller had an Interview with Joe Rizzi, an Italian coal miner and for- mer striker, who came here to thank the oil magnate for the $100,000 given by the Rockefeller Foundation for the relief of unemployed men after the strike was called off. Rizzi is the miner whose telegram to Mr. Rocke- feller last spring appealing for aid for the destitute wives and children of former strikers led directly to the foundation contribution and the inau- guration of an extensive system of road' improvements by which several hundred men were given employment. Mr. Rockefeller's interest in the workings of the mines, the home life and surroundings of the employes vesterday was undiminished. Besides meeting and talking with miners of the camps and their wives Mr. Rocke- feller visited the public school at Sophris. Here Blanche McArthur, twelve years old daughter of a coal digger, recited to the Standard Oil magnate the rudiments of finance as the pupils were taught them in the operation of a supply store and chil- dren’s bank. At Morley last evening Mr. Rocke- feller visited the common bath house and came upon a group of miners just from the mines, in various stages of dress and undress. The discussion centered principally upon working cenditions and life in the camp. DUMBA’S RECALL OR NO SAFE CONDUCT ‘Washington to Take No Action Re- garding Ambassador Till It Hears From Vienna. Washington, Sept. 23.—Action by the American government on the re- quest of Dr. Constantin Dumba, Aus- tro-Hungarian ambassador here, that he be given safe conduct to Vienna will be taken, it became known of- ficially today, when the Vienna gov- ernment has .replied to the request that the diplomat be recalled. The ambassador’'s withdrawal was asked as a result of a letter he wrote to his foreign minister outlining plans for disturbances in American munition plants. A reply from Vienna is ex- pected within a few days. In requesting safe conduct Dr. Dumba notified the state department that his government had recalled him home on leave, adding that he planned to sail September 28. Pending the receipt of the Austro-Hungarian reply, however, the question whether the ‘Washington government will be sat- isfied if Vienna carries out Dr. Dum- ba’s request and gives notice that he is to be withdrawn “on leave” will not be determined. The Dumba case was one of the questions discussed at a conference last night between President Wilson and Acting Secretary of State Polk. The president had not decided early today what action, if any, to take re- garding Austro-Hungarian and Ger- man officials involved in the Dumba incident, including among others Cap- tain Franz Von Papen, German mili- tary attache here, and Alexander Nuber Von Pereked, Austro-Hun- garian consul general in New York.

Lack of ammunition on the part of the Russians, it is con- ceded, is responsible for the steady advance of the Germans in Russia. The Germans realize that if they can 1 | tional law | man quiry whether the Ge: n _‘ ment will govern its naval o in accordance with the German the American interpretation of treaty stipulations in question, pends= ing the arbitral procedings, has beén: carefully considered by the German government.

Exception Not Established, “For the German government does | not need to depart from the applica- tion of generally recognized rules of the law of maritime war, as the Dec- laration of London, uniess and in so far as an exception based on a try is established beyond all doubt. If the case of the present differences of opinion between the German and the Amrican governments such an ex- ception could not be taken to be es- tablished except on the ground of the arbitral award. Moreover, the dis- advantages to Germany which would ensue from the American interpr taiou of the treaty stipulations woyld be so much greater as to be outfef proportion to those which the Ger- interpretation would entail, for the United States. For whereas the American interpretation would ma- terially impede- Germany in her con- duct of warfare, hardly any particu- lar disadvantage to American citizens would result from the German inter- pretation, since they receive full rep- aration of any property damage suw tained. “Nevertheless the German govern- | ment in order to furnish to the Am- erican government evidence of fis conciliatory aftitde, has issued orders to the German naval forces not to de- etroy American merchantmen which have loaded conditional contraband en when the conditions of interna- are present, but to pen them to continue their voyage unhi | dered if it is not possible to take them ! reserve cripple the ammunition France the results would trous to the allies’ cause.

London. Sept. 23, 1.06 p. m-—Great prominence is given by the Globe to- day to what it describes as “The scandal of sulphuric acid.” “In the spring of this year, for| reasons believed to be good and suf- ficlent, doubtless, but which we hope will be:made the supject of an in- quiry by the house of commons,” says the Globe, “the firm of C. Tennant Sons & Co, by no means remotely connected in a fam- ily sense with a member of the cabinet, was commissioned to ouy large quantities of sulphuric acid in America. Why no attempt was made to secure acid in this country we will not stop to inquire.’” The Globe asserts that the methods employed in the shipment of the acid were so defective that hundreds of thousands of pounds were lost. It is asserted that the acid was forwarded in an impure form in {iron drums which, even had the acid been pure, would have corroded and leaked- It is said ships were damager by escap- ing acids, and that noxious gases were released, endangering the health of the crews. In one case, according to this newspaper, the crew refused to leave port and the acid was held up 'in New York for two months. Two steamships are sai¢c to have been | damaged so badly that there was nothing to do but to buy them, at a cost of $300,000, The Globe suggests two questions: Why the acid was not shipped in proper containers. and who has maie - good to the owners, Tennant & Co., | or the government.
