Would Return to Work if Contractors Would Use Only Chicago Materials. Chicago, June 30.—Sixteen thousand carpenters on strike for two months late today offered to return to work at 65 cents an hour, the Jld scale, if the contractors would agree to use only- Chicago materials. The offer was re- jected by M. A Ashbeck, president of the building contractors’ association, This further failure of the carpenters and contractors to agree made it ap- pear certain that the allied materials manufacturers would make good their threat to shut down, throwing 200,000 employes out of work. / Members of the building contractors organization said that materials could be purchased outside Chicago at a much lower rate than here and the ac: tion of the carpenters in making & stand againstbsuch purchase was un- reasonable . The carpenters argued that much of the material which the employers would bring in was “un- fair”. ' Leaders of the carpenters re- gard the threat of the building ma- terials men to shut down “a bluff. Mayor Thompson, who has been try- ing to settle the dispute, said tonight he still hoped that a safisfactory ad- justment could be made.

Mr. Garrison did not ask about the reported dinner, but sent general instructions to General Fun- ston to guide army officers in their relation with Huerta. “I think it manifestly improper,” said Mr. Garrison, commenting on un- official border reports, “for one branch of the government to be toasting and m‘%l'm.'" man under arrest by another Rain Keeps President iIndoors.

A BILLION DOLLAR TRADE BALANCE IN A YEAR. Experts Point Out It is Not Owing to Orders for Munitions of War. Washington, June 30.—A billion dol- lar trade balance—the greatest in American history—in a year which hes seen commerce depressed by eleven months of world war, is the commer- clal record of the United States. Of- cial announcement was made today at the department of commerce that with the closing of the fiscal year at mid- night it was certain that the billion dollar mark had been passed. “The figures for eleven months end- ing May 31, it was announced, “show a favorable balance of $983,117,479.

Zapata, With Great Loss—No Mention is Made of Attacks Upon Foreigners. ‘Washington, June 30.— Desperate conditions in Mexico City, with un- checked mobs rioting and loooting, are descrived in despatches cabled to the United States government tonight from Vera Cruz by a courier who leftthe Mexican capital last Friday, June 25. Gonzales Driven Back. ' When the caurier started, practically the entire garrison had been withdrawn to join the Zapata army on the out- skirts of the city opposing the attack- ing Carranza forces under General Pablo Gonzales. Gonzales had been driven back with considerable loss and ancc of approximately $60,000,000, it is now known that the excess of exports over imports has at this date exceeded $1,000,000,000, surpassing by nearly $400,000,000 the highest record hereto- fore made.” Figures indicating that the new high record would be made have been placed before President Wilson and the cabinet from time to time by Sec- was waiting for reinforcements coming up from Vera Cruz before renewing the assault.

Generally, the showing was considered all the more gratifying because it was made despite the paraiysis of ocean ship- ping and the stagnation in the cotton market which depressed America’s second most valuable-crop. Department of commerce experts Doint out that the immense trade bal- ance 1s not owing to orders for muni- tions of war. In fact, manufactures generally other than foodstuffs have been less than in the similar period before the war. FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS $75,000000 BEHIND. End of Business Year Came at Mid- night—Returns Not Yet Complets. ' Washington, June 30.—The business year of the federal government came to an end tonight with treasury offi- cials still unable to determine how much of a deficit the accounts of re- ceipts and expenditures for the last twelve months will show. Internal revenue officials throughout the coun- try telegraphed that they would re- main open until a late hour tonight and that jigures on the last day’s returns wouid not be aveilable until some time tomorrow. The deficit today, exclusive of dis- bursements on account of the Panama canal, was well over $75,000,000, but officials were confident that figure will be materially reduced. The income tax up untii today had produced only dbout $40,000,000, but estimates of the total return from this source have agreed on_something over $80,000,000. Estimates of the treasury defleit to- day varied between $40,000,000 and $60,000,000. Receipts in the last few days, however, have made it apparent that there will be no present need for a bond issue, looked upon @s @ prob- ability a few months ago.

Armstrong Jr. at Bristol. Twenty-nine men in all were lost and ten injured. Created Sensation. > The news created a sensation in of- ficial quarters, as it was the first case of American lives since the sinking of the Lusitania. The gravity of the in- cident, however, and the action of the Washington government depends en- tirely on whether the Armenian was chartered by the British governfnent and was, in fact, a transport of con- traband war abroad which Americans would sail at their own risk or wheth- er she was an unarmed merchantman. In the latter case, even though carry- ing contraband, the ship should have been subjected to visit and search and those aboard transterred to a place of safety before the destruction of the vessel was attempted, Immediate Inquiry Directed. In the absence of official information on these points,. officlals declined to say what effect the sinking of the Armenian would have on pending ne- Botiations between the United States and Germany. Immediate inquiry wes directed, _however, to Ambassador Page at London to secuure more de- tails and when Secretary Lansing re- turns ‘tomorrow, Ambassador. Gerard. will be fnstructed to inquire of the German admiralty as to its report, At Least One Shot Fired. From the messages received it ap- pears that in addition to_the torpedo, at least one shot was fired from a dis- appearing rifie. The consul's report said the wireless house was “taken by the second shot” It was not made clear whether the Armenian was first ordered to halt and resisted capture, requiring a second shot or whether the submarine attacked without warn- ing. The fact that the number of the submarine was given indicated that she had come to the surface to make the attack. Mules are Contraband. Mules are contraband of war, ac- cording to all the lists of belligerents, So there can be no doubt as to the contraband character of the Armen- ian's cargo. Officlals will make an effort to learn, however, whether the vessel was armed and whether she Wwas a part of the British naval forces before the opinion of the state de- partment on the case will be disclosed, News Telegraphed to President. All of, the despatches received were promptly telegraphed to President Wilson at Cornish, N. H., and Secre- tary Lansing at Amherst, Mass, and it was considereq probabie that they would communicate with each other while in New England. American Muleteers Lost. The messages from Consul Arm- strong did not show clearly just how many Americans were lost. In his list of Americans missing, he named twenty muleteers—eight whites and twelve negroes—who were unaccount- ed for, but later telegrame spoke of Dr. J. §, Viso, a Porto Rican and three negroes as having been picked up by a submarine and other survivors by a Belgian trawler and transferred to two British destroyers whic brought them into Bristol.

Displayed Great ‘ntsrest, but Refused port of Contraband of War—Ambassador Page, at Lon- don, Has Been Instructed to Secure More Details—In the List of Americans Missing, Are Twenty Muleteers, Eight Whites and Twelve Negroes—News Created a Sensation in Official Quarters in Washington. the fact that a number of Americans were reported lost. It was said that he would await for full official Infor- mation before deciiing what course to ursue, but that a thorough investi- cazion would be conducted. The president displayed deep inter- est in the news from Washington but refused to make any official a—.:" He has told that a favorable from Germany to the last American note protesting against the subma- rine warfare was probable and fore the word of the sinking of the Armenian was received here with sur- prise. % The president adopted the same at- titude maintained by him following the sinking of the Lusitania, the Ne- braskan and other ships carrying Americans that of reserving judgment - until all available information is ob- tained. It is sald at his residence that he had not changed his plan of remain~ ing here over July ith, because of the news about the Armenian, but that.no prediction could be mzde as to what he would do after full official infor- mation had been received. 3 WIFE MURDERER FCUND < GUILTY IN FIRST DEGREE.
