It is expected General Carranza will assume full charge of af- falrs and direct the civil government from Chihuahua, which will become #he, provisional capital of the repub- i Washington, Jan. 27.—There was no indicagion today of any change in the attitude of the American government toward Mexico as the result of last night's conference between the presi- dent and the members of the senate committee on foreign relations, Reports received at the state depart- ment during the day from the Amer) can consuls in Mexico told of a gen- eral suspension of active hostilities at threatened points, such as Manzanillo, Guaymas and Torreon. Sign of Approaching Climax. It is understood here that the iliness of General Villa has stopped the/for- ward movement of the constitutional- ists, though it also has been intimated to the state department that the atti tude of the natives of central Mexico less favorable to the revolution. Much significance was attached to the reported arrest by General Huer- ta’s orders of some army officers of high, rank on charges of treason, and thers is a disposition among the offi- cials to regard this development as a sign of a growing belief among Huer- ta’s adherents of the approach of a climax. Refugee Taken Prisoner on American e. From Laredo it was reported that a Mexican refugee, Samuel Cantu, who was formerly mayor of Lampaso, was seized on the American end of the in- ternational bridge by two Mexican federal officers, taken across the boun- dary and placed in prison. American “onsul Garrett, under orders from the state department, has made a protest and a demand for the return of the man. General Villa has decreed that Jan. 10, the date of the defeat of the fed- eral army at Ojinaga, shall be observed as a national holiday. The arrival here of Bonales Sando- val, said to represent Felix Diaz has caused much comment. Sandoval's real mission in coming to see General Villa was not disclosed. He was one of those who sided against President Madero just before the latter was killed. General Villa has sald he en- tered the present revolution particu- larly to avenge Madero’s death.

Anxiety was felt for the Americas Who were roturning to the mines and lumber camps, because of reported threats by Castillo that he would kill all foreigners. How many persons Wero on the train was not known. A force of rebels has been sent to drive the bandits out of the country. A NEW REVOLUTION. Belief at Mexica City That Gen, Diaz REBELS WANT SALAZAR.

Secretary Garrison, who per- | sonally told the colonel he would be made the first governor when he vis- ited the canal zome last summer, said he was confident there would be no question about acceptance. The change in title will mean a loss of $5,000 a vear to the head of the zone, as the governor’s salary will be $10,000, and he now receives $15,000 as chairmanof the commission. A New Commission.

Congre: will be asked to provide the necessary legislation. PANAMA CANAL TOLLS. Congress Awaiting Public Statement from the President. Washington, Jan, 27—How to dis- pose of the Panama canal tolls ques- tion was the subject uppermost in discussion about the capitol today when the attitude of President Wilson, out- lined to the senate foreign relations committee last night, became public. The president’s position was asserted to be that the provision of the Panama canal act which grants toll exemption to American coaStwise vessels is in violation of the Hay-Pauncefote trea- ty, which proclaims that the canal shall be free and open to the ve of commerce and war of all nations terms of entire equality” and “charges of traffic should be jus equitable.” Before any definite action is taken in congress, it was said tonight by ad- ministration legders, a public statement from the president on the question will be awaited. President Wilson him- self, after the night conference with the senators, said he would proclaim his views on the subject “at a future time.” Three courses are Open to CONgress. Great Britain, which has persistently opposed the toll exemption for Amer- ican ships, has offered to arbitrate the question as to its being a violation of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty. The majority in congress is believ opposed to this, maintaining that the United States should settle the iss for itself. Another course is 1o carry into effect the resolution submitted by Representative Adamson, chairman of the *Interstate and foreign commerce committee, which would suspend for the operation of the pro- vision exempting American ships from the payment of tolls. Should this be adopted diglomatic negotiations could continue in,the meantime. The third proposal is that congress repeal the free toll provision, recognizing that it is in violation of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty. Some democratic senators who voted con Falls company. Col.

ON STATE ROADS WORK One $3,000 Job Said to Have Cost $10,000—Contractors Permitted to Use Inferior Grade of Material. Albany, N. Y., Jan. 27.—A “pie book” in which Highway Commissioner John N. Carlisle is said to have kept a rec- ord of positions which he.parceled out to various political leaders is greatly desired by James W. Osborne, for use in his graft inquiry. The first intima- | iton to the existence of the book came today at the inquiry when Theron Akin, & former corgresssman, spoke of | it. Akin said ‘that last summer he| went to Mr. Carlisle to appeal for the | transfer of John B. Wright, an assist- ant highway engineer, and during the conversation the commissioner produc- ed the book and pointed out to Akin just how much patronage he had ob- tained. Incidentally, Wright was not transferred. Other witnesses today told Mr. Os- borne additional facts concerning the approval of 318 repair contracts by the Bensel-Peck-Reel highway commis- sion. Transferred for Not Approving Work. John B. Wright, who now is commis- sioner of piblic works of Amsterdam, opened the way for the story of the “ple book.” He sald he had refused to approve the work of Contractors Peter V. Baird of Montgomery county and John E. Consaulus of Troy, and as a result had been transferred to a po- sition 300 miles from his home. He had appealed to C. Gordon Reel, then superintendent of highways, but was informed that the transfer had been brought about by politiclans and con- tractors. Wright also told of a supplemental agreement which he said Consaulus brought about by which one of the lat- ter's contracts was increased from 000 to $110.000. On this road, as in Montgomery county, macadam was called for in the specifi- cations, but brick was substituted, he asserted. He told of another contract in Montgomery county on which the Hollington company had been permit- ted to substitute an inferior grade of materjal and to charge a higher price for it than for material originally specified. Akin Relates His Experience. ‘Wright declared that in his effort to be transferred back to Amsterdam he had appealed to Mr. Akin. The for- mer congressman told of visits to for- mer Governor Sulzer and Mr. Reel, and said Mr. Sulzer told him to take the matter up with Mr. Reel.

Later he said that Mike Coleman and a_man named Doyle had been ziven positions at the request of the Montgomery county assoclat Doyle” he sald, “was credited to ex Senator Gardner and Coleman to Si- preme Court Justice Henry V. Borst.” “Did vou understand that to mean | political patronage?’ a Commis- | sioner Osborne. “I @id.” Mr. Akin said. Akin also testified that 2,000 fest of road in his countv had been built by the Mohonk Contracting company, in which Baird was interested, at a cost of $10,000. | “I could have bullt a better road with a couple of men and a baby car- riage for $3,000," said Mr. A HAS POOR MEMORY. | Shaw Cannot Tell to Whom He Paid | | | $41,250 of Graft Money. w York, Jan. 27—James G.
