1 DENIES CABRERA CRITICISM OF U. . No Authority for Story of Dis- pleasure at Way Government Handles Villa Campaign. ISSUED BY SUBORDINATE . Washington, Oct. 30.—~What prom- xs?d to be a new source of serious friction between the United States and the de facto goverpment of Mexico apparently was cleared away tonight through formal repudiation by Eliseo Arredoro, Mexican ambassa- dor designate of a statement issued here yesterday under the name of Luis Cabrera, assailing the American government for permitting aid to reach Villa and other bandits from its_side of the border. Mr. Arredondo will go to the State department tomorrow with the ex- planation that the statément was put out by an employe of the Mexican News Bureau, the de facto govern- ment's semi-official publicity agency, without the knowledge or consent of cither the cmbagsf' or_ Mr. Cabrera. Department officials said tonight this would be regarded as closing the in- cident, Other Denials Ready. Mr. Arredondo says, on special in- structions from his government he will deny also the authenticity of what it is understood will purport to be quotations from General Carranza, General Obregon, the Mexican war minister, and General Pablo Gonzales, commander of the forces in Mexico City, reflecting strong anti-American sentiments, which are expected to ap- pear tomorrow in an, American weekly magazine, Information reaching the embassy recently concerning the magazine article caused an exchange of messages with Mexico City, and brought the ambassador’s authority to_repudiate them in advance. Until word of Mr. Arredondo’s action and of Mr. Cabrera’s repudia- tion at New York came to them to- night, the heads of the State depart- ment had taken a most serious yiew of the statement attributed to Cab- rera, who besides being Carranza’s minister of finance, is chairman of the Mexican group of the joint com- mission now sitting at Atlantic City, Question of Veracity. How the statement orgimiated has been the subject of much speculation and apparently has narrowed down to a question of veracity between Mr. Cabrera and the members of the , news bureau staff who gave it to the press. But the bureau, set up some time ago, with G. F. Weeks, formerly a press censor for the Carranza gov- ernment at Mexico City, at its head, has been regarded as the semi-official mouthpiece of the embassy. The em- ploye who issued yesterday’s state- ment was George F. Edmunds, pub- licity representative of the embassy until the bureau was organized.! Ed- munds asserts that the statement was dictated to him at Atlantic City by Cabrera, who authorized him to make it public. Weeks tonight telegraphed Cabrera disclaiming responsibility for the action. The appearance of the statement created consternation at the enmibassy. Mr. Arredondo promptly had a con- ( ference with Mr, Cabrera évcr the long distance telephone. Later he explained that the bureau had pre- pared and issued without authority the'statement as a result of remarks made by Cabrera Friday to a rep- resentative of the-bureau. He said Cabrera made no unpleasant refer- and moreover was not expecting his | remarks to be quote 5 “We\were speaking” said the ame | bassador, “about the situation in gen- | eral and especially in Chihuahua, as to how Villa had been able to cause such alarm. Mr. Cabrera said, not, for publication and without expecta- tion that his remarks would be used: “‘The American governn\ent could help us by increasing its vigilance to prevent ammunition from getting into the hands of Villa and by expelling from the United States a great num- ber of Mexican r8fugees who are very well known as enemies of the de facto government in Mexico. “‘This the American government could do strictly within the province of American neutrality laws.'” Frank Hitchcock Claims Election of Hughes by Eighty Chicago, Oct. 30.—Frank H. Hitch- cock, former chairman of the repub- lican national cémmittee and a mem- ber of the advisory committee of the present campaign tonight issued a statement regarding the outcome of the election, basing his conclusions on reports received from ‘experienced political leaders in each one of the states concerned. His statement is as follows: “Hughes will be elected on Novem- ber 7. He will carry the following states having an aggregate electoral vote of 308, or forty-two in excess of the required 266.

CASTRO CASE IS INVOLVED Just as Mr. and Mrs. Sam Sherazzo were about to enter their home at 2013 Pierce street last night, return- ing from a theater with Joe Vendura, two men stepped from the protecting shadow of a nearby house and with automatic pistols opened fire, Not a word did they utter. When they aw Mrs. Sherazzo and her husband ?all, each a victim of the deadly fusil- lade, they fled. They did not offer to molest Vendura, At St. Joseph’s hospital, both Sherazzo and his wife at_first main- tained stoutly that they did not rec- ognize their assailants. Vendura, who stood within a few feet of the flame-spitting pistols, gave an ac- curate description of the two Italians, which might have fitted hundreds of Italian laborers anywhere. Search Starts at Once. Everywhere the detectives went in search of clues leading to the un- ravelling of the mysterious attempted assassination they met with stolid silence. Finally when Police Surgeon Myers told the Sherazzos they would prob- able die, Sherazzo and his wife told Policeman Frank Damato that Camilo La Bianco, 2029 South Twentieth street and Sam Trapini, fired the shots. Vendura, who knows both men well, still maintained that he failed to _recognize them. La Bianco and Trapini, who were arrested at midnight with Andrea Trapini, father of Sam Trapini, said they had an alibi. Police declare that the attempted assassination of the Sharazzos rs a development of the alleged forced marriage last week of 13-year-old | Christina Trapini to Rosario Castro, aged 23. The Trapinis occupy the second floor of the Sherazzo home. Castro and Vendura roomed together in the Sherazzo part of the house, and Cas- tro became familiar with the 13-year- old daughter of Andrea Trapini. Last Sunday they eloped to Council Bluffs. When they were brought back to Omaha, the girl's parents demanded that Castro marry the girl. This was done last week, Justice Britt per- forming the ceremony. Police say that from private sources they learn that the Sherazzos have been the object of Italian ha- tred since the affair. ‘ Held By Police a Bianco and Trapini were ar- raigned before the police magistrate this morning charged with shooting with intent to kill. They waived pre- ‘liminary examination and were bound over to the district court. When Asquith Laughed, It is said that Mr. Asquith has only once been known to laugh outright when on a public platform. The record-making occa- sion was at a political meeting in Scotland. The premier was ‘constantly belng inter- rupted, one of the chief hecklers being a farmer wearing a largo straw hat. Suddenly from someone in the hall came a very per- sonal remark concerning Mrs. Asquith. “Who said that?” he demanded quickly. There was a:sudden silence. Then & man in the audience stood up, and, pointing to the farmer with the straw hat,'shouted: “It was him wi' the coo's’ breakfast on hig head " JUDGE ALBERT J. CORNISH CANDIDATE FOR ~ Judge of the Sup Judge Cornish has ATTEMPT T0 MURDER | WOMAN INJURED BY SHERAZZO AND WIFE| HALLOWEEN PRANK Wire Stretched Across Side- walk Trips Mrs, Virgil Sampson. POLICE SEEK MISCREANTS The life of Mrs. Virgil Sampson, wife of Virgil Sampson, teamster, living at 111 South Twenty-eighth street, may ptove the cost of vicious premature Hallowe'en pranks of youths last night at Twenty-eighth and Douglas. Wires had been stretched across the sidewalks and streets, every few feet in the neighborhood and on Douglas street, half a dozen barrels, stolen from a nearby grocery store, were built into a barricade entirely blocking the thoroughfare in a place where unwary autoists would be apt to run into it. X Mrs. Sampson was walking home when she tripped over the wires and fell flat on her face, striking her forehead with such force as to cause concussion of the brain.
