CHARGES AGAINST CARRANZA ~ MULTIPLY, But from Mexico Ci record is being planned for mid- summer by some 150 members of the House and twenty members of the Senate. Having wrestled in a some- what futile manner for some months past with domestic questions, includ- ing the high cost of existence, these | Congressional joy-riders have decided that a summer spent in first hand study of how. the Japanese, Chinese, Koreans, Filipinos and others manage to meet living costs will be beneficial. If Congress adjourns by June, these members expect to leave pestiferous constituents and political turmoil be- hind and bask in the soft caresses of tropic climes. Tentative plans call for a tour-day top in Hawaii, seven days in the hilippines, visits to Tokio, Peking and Seoul and several other stops in Japan, China and Korea, The Fiji and Tahiti Islands are not included in the itinerary as arranged. Contingent only on adjournment of both Houses, it is proposed to step aboard the army transport Mount Vernon at San Francisco immediately following the Democratic National Convention, and spend sixty days in this first hand study of the country’s island possessions and Pacific neigh- |bors. For the privilege of travelling | and living on the transport, they will pay $1.25 a day per head. This rate inoludes ali subsistence, making the cost of a trip to the Orient cheaper than the cost of living at home: Representative Charles H: Randall of California, in charge of advance arrangements, has received reserva- itself come s.advices that @ manifesto has been Js. | sueed to the nation, signed by forty- eight members of the House of Depu- ties and sixteen members of the Me jean Senate, bluntly charging Presi dent Carranza with having excecdad his constitutional powers and wit having ‘violated the constitutiona! promises which induced the Mexican people to take up arms and engage in a bloody civil war.” ‘This is all the! more resented because the original revolution of 1910, the principles o which the Carranza regime has pro. eased to support, was waged with the slogan, “Effective suffrage and | ne re-election.” There follow a series of reasons for "the movement in belulf. of Obregon, among them violations of the ballot, the packing of State Governorships, irregularity in the municipal elections in Mexico City, conclave of Gover- nors presumably to forward the de- | sires of President Carranza in hand- ling the election machinery, the re- sort by the executive to methods of coercion, including the arrest of par- tisans of Obregon, imprisoaing mem- bers of Congress on trumped-up changes and the attempt to entangle Obregon himself in court proceedings | ‘so as to incapacitate him in the elec- toral struggle.” : The manifesto, which was drawn up n the green room of the Chamber of Deputies, closes with a warning tWnt the responsibility for the evils that } inay grow out of the present sitta- tion will rest solely upon President, Carranza and his associates.

It is figured that the failure of Con- gress to adjourn would crimp the ex- pedition considerably, and possibly cut the number who would go to | thirty or forty. However, all plans of the Republi- can majority contemplate bringing |the session to an end about June 1. As the Democratic convention is set for June it is expected the joy- ful junketers can leaye their native shores for the land of the ukelele and cherry blossoms not later than July 1 Unless something happens to in- \tervene, this will be the greatest “junket” in an epidemic of rips, some with more excuse and asset for a Mexican condiate in these |days of intense nationalism in Mexico, | pine so that even if the American Govern- ment had a preferece, it never would | be indiscreet enough to express it? Broadly speaking, however, former Ambasador Bonillas, who 1s supposed to be President Carranza's candidate, is better known than any of the other cadidates because of his resi- dence here, though Gen. Obregon bas made a good impression upon oftictals during his visits to Washington, while Gen, Gonzales, another candi- date, won admiration because he was frankly pro-ally throughout the War and urged Mexico to enter the Bu ped war after the United States had become a belligerent | Neutrality in word and deed, how ever, seems e our Government's wi beg; open ee amen oreg nts |some with itss, with which members such ; last night Artist Ellison Hoover of Newark advocated the abolition, of State roads in Now Jersey on the) ground that ‘they are a burden and expense to the taxpayers, The whole trouble has come about through the passage df the bill at Trenton which fines the owners of bulls (live) when said animals are found on the highways without chaperons.

With a plentiful supply of butter and eggs available, prices in the wholesale market of the city are again showing a downward tendency. Creamery putter went from 75% and 76 cents to 7214 and 73 cents the pound, and oxtra brands below the creamery standard went as low as 71% cents, Eggs dropped from 49 cents to 46 cents 4 dozen. Reductions in retail prices should be made in two or three days. Apparent reason for the price drop was found in the Federal inquiry into profiteering in all foodstuffs and espe- cially in the matter of Danish butter. Merchants admitted yesterday there never has been a real shortage in the egg and butter market here. Never- theless, it was pointed out that the strike has made it more than ordi narily difficult to bring in fresh sup- and, without the activity of nment investigators, no down- ward movement of prices would be expected Among the receipts yesterday were 4,660 boxes of butter and 12,018 cases (360,540 dozen) of eggs. In both in- stances the quantities were below normal. The Dairymen'’s League announced that 4 motor truck had brought in 150 tubs of butter, ghing 9.450 pounds, from the,Dairymen's League Co-operative Association's plant in Auburn, The run of 350 miles was made in thirty-three and a half hours Live stock for the Jewish Sabbath was reported to be scarcer than in years.

Expeditions to Cuba, Rico and Panama were common enough before the war, and small parties have gone to Hawaii and the Philippines. In num- bers and scope the coming event ap- parently will eclipse them all. Porto Just what a collection average Congressmen can discover of value to their constituenciss in a four day stay at Hawaii jncluding motor trips, 4 porsible promenade of the beaches, attendance at lawn parties and other festivities to be arranged in their honor, is unexplained.

VJ U.S. KEEPS SILENT AS ALLIED CHIEFS Heads of Governments Reach San Remo to Settle German’ and Turkish Questions. SAN RBEMO, Italy, April 17 (Asso- clad Press).—Whether the United States will be represented at the con- ference of the AlMed Nations called to meet in San Remo was a question whieh had not been answered here as the chief representatives of the powers reached here to-day for the sessions which are to begin next Monday. ‘The conference will have as its program an endeavor to settle three or four of the great problems now disturbing Burope. One of these is what action shall be taken respect- ing the carrying out of the Treaty of Vervaities so that tt may be made plain, to Germany that the Allies re- gard it as a binding instrument. Others are the determination of the future of the Turkish Empire and the final framing of the Hungarian Peace Treaty. The Adriatic settle- ment is also a possible subject for consideration, while the international exchange problem is another tikely to be considered. Premier Lloyd George of Great Britain and Field Marshal Sir Henry Hughes Wilson, Chief of the British Imperial Army Staff, arrived by auto- mobile from Marseilles, with their staffs, in time for tuncheon. Later in the day Premier Millerand of France, Marshal Foch and other of the French Representatives, and Baron Matsui, the Japanese Ambassador at Paris, reached San Remo on a special train. Allied nations would be called upon to maintain a force of 300,000 men In Turkey to insure execution of the terms of the treaty with that country which was framed at London recently, it 1s understood.
