Between Washington, Jan. 13.—Intelligence ! officers of the war department ave sat- !istied after their investigation that the simultaneous arrival at Manzanillo, mer bearing arms and cruiser Yakumino had no nection. These officers said today that the Yakumino was a training ship and could not have protected the munitions ship even had there been occasion for the effort. Myr. Sheidehara, the Japanese am- bassador authorized the statement hat the Japan overnment had not been a party to supplying of arms to Mexico either directly or indirect- v and that no Japanese warship had scorted or protected any other ship carrying arms from Japan to Mexico. The emba here is inquiring into the subject, it was said, with the purpese of asceriaining the nation- ality of the merchant ship which car- ried the arms. ‘Even if it were a Japanese merchantman, it was said, at the embassy that there could be 1o connection between her appearance at Manzanillo at the same time that the training ship made port as the vessel was on her regular cruise and was not armed sufficiently to convoy merchantmen. When the preseni Mexican minister to Japan, Senor Romero, reached Tokio, he was said to have been in- formed that it was fruitless for him endeavor to procure arms in Ja- pan. While it is legal for Japan to sell arms to a friendly state the Jap- anese government was represented as void /the appearance of uspicions set afloat in the Tnited States by German agents that Japan lentertained designs to exploit Mexico or that she was cultivating intimate relations with that country for purposes hostile to the = United States. con- San Diego, Jan. 13.—The senate sub-committee here investigating the i Mexican situation today had a report that o large shipment of ammunition for the Carranza government arrived at Manzanillo, Mex., Dec. 24 last, simultaneously with the Japanese cruiser Yakumino. The report which i was forwarded from army headquar- ters here to the war department at Washington said the Yakumino ap- parently was escorting the ship bear- arms and ammunition which had been purchased in Japan through Col. Emilo Circlos of the Mexican army, and Manuel Pcrez Romero, then Mex- ican minister at Tokio. FAKE CENSUS TAKERS Complaint Is Made About Two Men Who Are Trying to Collect From Families.

Medals were awarded to army never got nearer the s front than Washington than to those who saw service oversas. It is common talk in the army said Mr. Gallivan, “that our present chief of staff and one of his assist- ants, a coloncel whose duty it was to escort and dine foreign missions here in Washington, have no space left be- tween ther belts and their collars to display the medals that have given them as a result of this serv- ice.” “Congress should investigate all awards of medals and crosses,” Mr. Galiivan said, “so as to determine why some recommendations were act- ed upon favorably and others disre- garded. “The Distinguished Service Medal has been cheapered and certainly rid- iculed by the bold and brazen man- ner in which it hassbeen passed out to those who belong to the elect,” said Mr. Gallivan. “It has been used as a reward for friendship; it has even been used to placate those who have been removed to make way for some one else. “The reading of the sum tota] of the citations in awarding the D. S. M to several chair officers of the gener- al staff, who never left Washington during the war, if believed, would certainly impress one that the war was fought with red ink at mahogany desks near the shadows of the Wash- ington monument. Surely the ‘lounge lizards’ of the ‘second army of the Potomac’ can have no quarrel with their comrades, tire ‘lobby lancers’ of the capitol, as to the number of D. 8. M.’s these two valiant units received for heroic ser- vice in this war. “‘As for France, whenever the com- mander-in-chief sent a ‘commissioned messenger boy’ on an errand, the D. S, M. was sure to be the reward. In Washington we had four dif- ferent chiefs of staff during the war and every one who knows anything at all about the workings of the war de- partment knows the predecessors of the present High Priest of Prussian- ism Gen. Peyton C. March were con- sidered unequal to the task. Through one pretense or another they were removed. “Ordinarily when a man has failed in the performance of any specific task he is removed without reward. These men have on the other hand been rewarded in the name of the president of the United States by the bestowal on them of the D. S. M. “The kaiser,”” continued Mr. Gal- livan, ‘“with some spark of apprecia- tion for cousistency, vet alive, said: “Me und Gott’ Not so your chief of staff, U, S. A. Peyton C. March who sees no reason for including ‘Got.’ It is simply ‘me’ with him. “In France there was a board of awards of medals that sat in Chau- mont and looked with easy favor on giving awards to their friends and with blurred eyves and deaf ears to recommendations of those without the pale. “The failure to send Leonard Wood overseas of troops was a case of notoriety,” Mr. Gallivan said, adding that General Wood “‘was never given an important active command during the war,” but “to placate public opin- ion something must be done. “The bestowal of the D. S. M, on General Wood,” he continued, ‘lis heartily approved by the entire mili- tary service I am told, but the reason for such bestowal looks like an inter- rogation point in the minds i one who has a knowledge of General Wood's treatment. “Inquiry also should be.made into case of civilians who rec: al declared Mr. Gallivan who charged that senmann of Cleve- iand who was mixed up in the cloth- ing and shoddy graft and ras picking graft, appears (o have got medal.” “It has been whi ‘junkmen’ have been said he.

Washington, Jan. 13.—State legis- | latures cannot under the law repeal | ratification of the constitutional prohi- bition amendment, Wayne B. Wheeler, counsel for the Anti-Saloon league, de- clared today in a statement discussing recommendations for repeal made to the law makers of New York by the | gavernors of those states. | Mr. Wheeler cited the attempt of New Jersey and Ohio to withdraw rati- fication of the fourteenth amendment. Congress refused to accept the repeal and both states were counted amongi those voting affirmatively. Without their ratification the amendment lack- ed sufficient votes to become opera-| | tive. -l Chief Justice Marshall was quoted{ by Mr. Wheeler as follows: : The principle is asserted that one legislature is competent to repeal an act which a former 1iegislature was| competent to pass. The correctness of | this principle, far as it respects general legislation, can never be con-| i troverted. But if an act be done under a law, a succeeding legislature cannot undo it. The past cannot be recalled by the most absolute power.” TRAFFIC ON TURNPIKE 0 COME THROUGH CITY | Repairs Between Berlin and Hartford Make Detour ! Necessary. b | | In the placing of a contract by the State Highway department for the re- | construction of the Berlin turnpike road-bed from Berlin to Hartford, an opportunit as been presented New | Britain for @ excellent source of ad- | vertisement,” as during the period of { construction a detour through this city { on all highway traffic will be observed.: Secretary H. B. Chamberlain, of | the Chamber of Commerce, said this morning that the matter would come up for consideration at an e meeting of the Chamber and it s probable that signs will be erected on the highways advertising the qualities and industries of the ¢ity. The Cham- ber believes the detour through New Britain will be a great boon to the city and will assist in placing New | Britain on the map. Officials of the highway department announced early this morning the award of contract to two contractors, the Lane Construction company, of Meriden, and the Edward Balf com- | pany, of Hartford, to work the road together. The highway is in poor shape and a complete overhauling has j been found necessary. The work will | open a little north of Worthington i Ridge and run through to the Capitol city. While the weather will not per- mit: of road construction at present, it is the plan of the companies to have everything in readiness as soon as climatic improvements are noted. Stone, road machinery, and other necessities are being hauled today to Worthington Ridge. During the spring, summer and pos- sibly the autumn months, all through traffic from Boston to New York and ew York to Boston as well as the shorter trips that necessitate the use of the turnpike, will make necessary the use of local highways. In this connection it appears likely that Stanley street will receive the brunt of the traffic. Beginning, as it {does, near the Berlin town line at Towers’ corner, Stanley street contin- ues in almost a direct line through the eastern section of the city, on through Stanley Quarter and thence into West Hartford and Hartford. If Stanley street is to receive the brunt of this traffic, and since the use of this street will cut off quite a stretch and make it unnecessary to go through the business center, it is like- Iy that it will, the city will probably be -called upon to make some exten ve improvements there. Below Ei lis 1street, Stanley street is already in { bad shape. Between Ellis and Ple; ant streets the macadag, is beginning to wear, and from Plez¥ant to Chest- nut street it is in decidedly bad shape. | However, from Shepard’'s hill to the city line the road is excellent.
