AGAINST MONTENEGRO EMBARGO ON WAR | SUPPLIES TO MEXICO Carranza * Government Not Affected By Order Is- sued By Wilson. ‘Washington, Oct. 20.—President ‘Wilson today declared an embargo on the shipment of arms and ammuni- tion to Mexico. President Wilson signed a supple- mentary order, however, which ex- cepts General Carranza’s government from the embargo and permits muni- tions to go through to him unham- pered. The prohibition applies to the factions opposed to the government which the United States has recog- nized. - The president’s proclamation is based upon the authority conferred by congress in 1912 and follows closely the terms of President Taft’s procla- mation issued when the revolution was on against Madero. The order for an exception to the embargo in favor of the Carranza gov- ernment was contained in a fétter from President Wilson to Secretary McAdoo. Tt follows: “My Dear Mr. Secretary: “I am informed by the department of state that the recognized de facto government of Mexico is now in effec- tive control of all the ports of entry in Mexico except those along the in- ternational boundary in the States of Chihuahua and Sonora and all the ports of Lower California. “An exception is hereby made to the prohibition against exports created by the president’s proclamation of October 19, 1915, and you will please instruct the collectors of ports and other officers of the treasury depart- ment to permit to be exported through Tnited States custom houses munitions of war for the use of the Tecognized de facto government of Mexico, or for jndustrial or commercial uses within the limits of the territory under its effective control as above set forth. “An embargo, therefore, will be im- mediately placed against the border ports in the States of Chihuahua and Sonora, as well as all ports in the territory of Lower California, whether or not controlled by the de facto government of Mexico, and you will so instruct the appropriate collectors of customs and other officers of the treasury department. “Sincerely yours, “WOODROW WILSON.” The Villa agency here closed its ! doors today and the junta scattered. ! It was announced that in view of the { recognition of General Carranza there was no further need for maintaining it. The closing of the agency was | regarded as significant in the Latin colony as indicating the Villa forces were not going in for an active cam- raign at least in Washington. D. OF. P.

Fort Smith. Ark., Oct. 20.—Seven men on trial charged with conspiracy to defraud the government in the manufacture of moonshine whiskey, pleaded guilty in the United States district court here today. Sentence will be passed tomorrow. The case against Fred Bowles of Fort Smith the eight defendant, was dismissed- The cases against the aefendants went to trial yesterday and their action to- day was a surprise. The defendants were indicted by the Federal grand jury last June. The government authorities predict that out of the cases may grow a gi- gantic prosecution of many other men who, it is alleged, have swindled the sovernment of the United States out of between $10,000,000 and $15,000,- 000 during the last ten years. Cooper Alleged Head. The alleged head of the conspiracy is John L. Casper, an officer of-the Rush Distilling company, of Kansas City, who with Guy L. Hartman, of Kansas City, James C. Brewbaker, of Kansas City and others are charged with maintaining an illicit distillary at Fort Smith and with shipping thou- sands of gallons of spuricus whiskey. manufactured at the plant, to the dis- tilling company. The six revenue officers are named with other defendants in a blanket in- dictment for conspiracy and one of them Knox Booth is accused of ac- cepting bribes from Casper and Hart- man. Booth was formerly superin- tendent of the Tennessee Revenue Di- vision and was removed from office after the issue of the warrant for his arrest. Government officers say he confessed and gave valuable informa- tion as to the working of the alleged conspiracy. Other Revenue Men, The other revenue were: men indicted James Surber, Atlanta.

Government officers did not have to ride into wooded hills inhabited by rough men, of the ‘“Moonshine” type to uncover the “sill,” where it is al- leged the illicit liquor was made. They found it standly boldly on one of Fort Smith’'s streets—a delapidated old building, as innocent looking as some deserted Arkansas farm house. But inside, machinery modern to the minute, the government alleges, man- ufactured “Six Year Old Kentucky Bourbon,” *“Fine Old Private Stock. and “Six Year Old Rye” from pure alcohol in fifty hours, the sparkle and blend being given by means of chemicals. Wih the aid of attractive labels, the government alleges, the conspirators sold their products through agents in Kansas City to the southwestern retail trade. Former Legal Distillery.

HARTFORD FIRM MAY BUY BERLIN PLANT Rumor That Billings-Spencer Company Desires Old Bridge Shop. (Special to the Herald.) East Berlin, Oct. 20.—There has been a rumor circulating about town the past few days that the Billings- Spencer company of Hartford are going to purchase the old Berlin Iron Bridge plant. This is the second time in the past few weeks the plant has been reported as sold. The rroperty is at present owned by the American Bridge company, who con- ducted a steel factory there seven years ago. The previous rumor was that a frm which intended to manufacture ammunition for the Allies was nego- tiating for its purchase, but nothing has been heard of them for the past two weeks. A group of men visited the plant in an auto last Friday and it was noised about they had pro- cured an option on the property. The machine which brought them had the license of C. E. Billings on it Mr. Billings is the president of the Hartford concern and it was thought his company was the prospective owner. When interviewed this afternoon, Mr. Billings denied the company was contemplating any additions, saying: “We have factories enough at pres- ent.” FIFTY-TWO KILLED IN PARIS EXPLOSION 100 More Injured in Accident at Fac- tory—Many of the Victims ‘Women Workers, Paris, Oct. 20., 4:55 p. m.—Fifty- two persons are reported to have been killed, in an explosion this afternoon in a factory in the Rue De Tolbiac, while one hundred or more were In- jured.

Trenton, N- J., Oct. 20.—Latest re- turns today on the state election yes- terday indicate that the amendment to the state granting suffrage to women was feated by a majority of more 50,000. Returns from 1,679 propesed constitution de- | than out 133,- 657 votes for and 187.849 against the amendment. Ocean county is apparently the only county the suffragists carried, the ma- jority being 300. Advocates Not Dismayed.

Two weeks vet remain before the general election at which will be | clected the entire membership of the lower house of the legislature and | cne-third of the senate. A canvass of 211 candidates for the legislature with | a view to branding them as for or| against woman suffrage next spring would be determined on at once, it was thought. By pledging a majority of the candidates to give them the ballot in voting for presidential elec- tors, it was belleved that the adoption | by the legislature of a resolution to ! this effect could be secured.

Now that the election is history, the suffrage leaders do not hesitate to de- clare that days before the opened they considered the suffrage cause an exceedingly uphill fight, very doubtful of victory. Success at yves- terday’s election would have amazed | some of their most enthusiastic | viorkers. The leaders, therefore, were not greatly surprised with the fact | that probably 130,000 voters in the state are on record as favoring their cause, The anti-suffragists profess to see in | vesterday's result a settlement for years to come of the agitation for woman suffrage in New Jersey.
