R\erR CCLGTHIN "‘\} Z NEW BRITAIN, CONN STEIN-BLOCH and SHUMAN CLOTHING CLEAN-UP SALE CARRANZA MOOD BECOMES PEAGEFUL «(Continued from First Page.) communication de- of the American latest recall ranza’s manding troops. Dictateq By Carranza. Although the note is signed by Gen. Aguilar, foreign minister officials of the Mexican embassy believe it was dictated by Gen. Carranza himself. As soon as a translation of the Spanish text could bee made, it was said, it will be sent to the White House. Until Secretary Lansing and President Wilson have had an oppor- tunity to confer there will be no for- mal comment. But some state de- partment officials did not attempt to conceal the fact that they consid- ered he note most satisfactory and likely to remove all danger of war. Text of Note, The text of the note as transmitted by Elizeo Arredondo, the Mexican ambassador designate follows: “Mr. Secretary: I have the honor to transmit in continuation the text of a note I have just received from my government with instructions to present it to your excellency: “Mr. Secretary: “Referring to the note of June 20 and 25 last, I have the honor to say to your excellency that the imme- diate release of the Carrizal prisoners was a further proof of the sincerity of the desires of this government to reach a pacific and satisfactory ar- angement of present difficulties. This government is anxious to solve the present conflict and it would be un- just if its attitude were misinterpreted. Two Problems. “It was also the Mexican govern- ment that earnestly suggested a plan for canonments along the boundary lint” during the conferences of Ciudad Juarez and El Paso. This government Is disposed now as it has always been, to seek an immediate solution of the two points which constitute the true causes of the conflict between the two countries, to wit: The American gov- ernment believes reasonably that the Insecurity of its frontier is a source of difficulty and the Mexican govern- ment on its part believes that the stay of American troops on Mexican territory, aside from being a trespass on the sovereignity of Mexico, is the Immediate cause of the conflicts. Therefore, the withdrawal of Ameri- can troops, on one hand and the pro- tection of the border, on the other, are the two essential problems, the solution of which must be the di- recting object of the efforts of both governments. Ready to Consider. “The Mexican government is willing to consider in a quick and practical way, and prompted by a spirit of poncord, the remedies which should pe applied to the present situation. “Several latin-American countries have offered their friendly mediation to the Mexican government and the latter has accepted it in principle. Therefore the Mexican govern- ment only awaits information that the government of the United States would be disposed to accept this mediation for the purpose men- tioned above, or whether it is still of the Welief that the same results may pe attained by means of direct nego- Hjations between both government. To Avoid Further Complications. “In the meantime this government proposes to employ all efforts that may be at its disposal to avoid the recurrénce of mnew incidents which may complicate and aggravate the situation. At the same time it pro- poses that the American government on its part may make use of its ef- forts to prevent also new acts of its military and civil authorities of the grontier that might cause new com- jcations. «T avail myself of this opportunity o reiterate to your excellency the a jurance of my most distinguished con- jderation. N C. AGUILAR.” wHaving thus complied with higher instructions of my government it af- fords me pleasure to reiterate to your excellency the assurance of my high- est consideration.

HAND BLOWN OFF AS GUN BARREL BURSTS Martin 0'Neil, 18 Years 01d; Vic- tim of Most Serious Accident This year’s fourth of July ob- servance in New Britain was unusual ly free from many accidents of a very serious nature and at the hos- pital but two emergency cases were reported.

Man’s Hand Blown Off. The young man had the old firing piece in his hands and as he pulled the trigger the barrel exploded at just the point where his hand was supporting it. The steel barrel was ripped to pieces like so much paper and the entire piece was bent and twisted. The young man was taken to the hospital where it was found necessary to amputate the hand be- Today he is resting comfortably. Shot in Back by Neighbor Steve Kowalczik of Booth street is at the hospital with a revolver bul- let in his back. He was shot Monday evening as he sat on the back porch family. His condition is good and no serious results are anticipated. John Kassgatz, a neighbor who lives on Broad street, is being held in $500 bonds charged with having shot Ko- walczik, although the complaint against him is that he discharged a revolver without a permit. The houses occupied by the two men are so sit- uated that the two back porches face each other. Kassgatz was cleaning out his re- volver so that if any of his children got it they would not get shot. As he was working on it he sat on his back porch and when the weapon was dis- charged the bullet flew across the yard and struck his neighbor. The son of Martin C. Conway of 830 Stanley street was severely burned about the face and neck at 10:30 last evening when a Roman candle ex- ploded. It is supposed that the bhov was endeavoring to make the canile g0 off by blowing the fuse.

A younsster from Broad street was injured in the hand by an exploding firecracker. Some Dodger.

In telling of the accident he said that he shot himself in the first finger, the bullet passing through his hand and from there into a tree. ‘Willie said that as the bullet passed out of his hand he was forced to dodge so the bullet would not hit him in the face. Nathan Googel of 186 Chestnut street was injured in the left hand by the accidental discharge of a blank pistol. A boy by the name of Crowley of Bigelow street was burned in the neck by the powder from a blank pistol. A youngster by the name of Joseph Kaminisky of 122 Clark street was also injured in the left hand by the accidental discharge of a blank pistol. Sam Dinner of 14 Willow street shot himself in the left hand with a blank pistol. AGENT LOSES BAG OF GOLD WATCHES New York Jewelry Salesman Says Hotel Clerk Gave His Bag of Valuables to Another Man.

Rubenstein said that when he put up at the Hotel Bronson yesterday he left his bag of valuables with the clerk. This morning when he went to get them he was informed that by ac- cident that bag containing the watches and chains had been given to sonmeone else. The police think it possible that the ‘bag was given by mistake to ome of the German singers who was here over the Fourth to take part In the state saengerbund.
