CAPTAIN VON PAPEN
GOING TO MEXICO
Denies Expression "Idiotic
Yankees" Referred to
American People.
San Francisco, Sept. 25. Captain
Franz Von Papen, military attach of
the German embassy at Washington,
and Prince Von Hatzfeldt, who are
visiting this city, will leave next Tues
day for Mexico, it was announced to
day. Both men maintain silence as to
thefr exact destination and the object
of their visit to the southern republic.
Von Papen denied toda.v t.np
expression "idiotic Yankees" contained
in the letter entrusted to J. F. J.
Archibald, and intercepted by the
British authorities, was intended to
apply to the American people.
"The much discussed letter was to
my wife," he said. "In passing it inay
be said that publishing a man's letter
to his wife is deuced bad form. When
the British authorities at Falmouth
found these letters on Mr. Archibald,
they pounced with avidity on the two
words that have made all this trouMp.
"They published only an excerpt of
my letter, thus changing its meaning
entirely. My wife, or any one else,
reading the letter from start to finish
would have gathered that the expres
sion 'idiotic Yankees referred to tne
publishers of a New York newspaper.
"The newspaper had been calling
us conspirators and other objection
able epithets. It grew especially
vehement after a portfolio containing
certain of our private papers had been
stolen from one of our men on the
train. In writing to my wife I dealt
with these publications. Not a word
did the British publish about these
parts of my letter."
Capt. Von Papen insisted that
his-explanation be considered as an
amicable discussion, not as an interview.
AMERICAN TROOPS
MAY ENTER MEXICO
To Deal With Raiders oi Border
Counties in Texas
WHO KILLED D. S. SOLDIER
Gen. Funston Reports That Several
Hundred Uniformed Mexicans, on
Southern Border Covered Retreat
ing Invaders.
Washington, Sept. 25. Possibility
that American troops might cross the
Rio Grande to deal with Mexicans
raiding border counties in Texas was
talked of here today as a result of
yesterday's border fight between
United States soldiers and Mexicans
near Progreso, Texas.
One American soldier was, killed
and an officer wounded in the battle.
At least four Mexicans, perhaps more,
were shot down, it was reported. The
soldier was Private Henry W. Stub-
blefleld of Big Stone Gap, Va., and
the officer Capt. A. V. Anderson.
Raiders Carranza Soldiers.
, An incident that added to the seri
ousness of the situation In the eyes
of war department officials was the
fact, as reported by General Funston,
that several hundred uniformed Mex
icans on the southern border covered
the retreating raiders. One report
said that American army officers de
scribed some of the raiders as Car-
ranza soldiers.
As viewed here, the incident is re
garded as one of the most serious of
he numerous disturbances along the
border. Secretary of War Garrison
"was out of the city today, but a de
tailed report of the affair from Gen
eral Funston has been telegraphed to
him. General Funston, however, has
full authority to take whatever meas
ures are necessary to deal with any
situation that may arise.
General Funston's report was to be
laid before the state department to
day by the war department, with a
view to representations "to Carranza,
whose troops occupy the territory op
posite Progreso.
No Carranza Troops.
Despatches received at the Carran
za agency from General Nafaratte and
the Carranza consul at Brownsville
categorically deny that any Carranza
troopers participated in fighting yes
terday at Progreso between raiders
and American troops. General Nafar
atte telegraphed that an investigation
disclosed that none of the Carranza
soldiers had been near the scene.
400 LONGSHOREMEN IN
N. Y. JOIN STRIKERS
3,000 Freight Handlers Now Idle in
Metropolitan District "Outside
Influence" Says Superintendent.
New York, Sept. 25. Four hundred
longshoremen working on piers in the
North River walked out on strike to
day for more pay.
The walkout increases the numoer
of longshoremen on strike' to about
800. which together with 2,1100 men
who have bee on strike for a week
or more at the rairoad terminals on
the New Jersey side of the Hudson,
makes a total of nearly 3,000 idle
freight handlers in the metropolitan
district.
The walkout today was coincident
with the posting of placards along
the water front calling upon river
captains, boatmen, deck hands, fire
men, etc., "to organize to get our
share of the extra profits that the
owners are getting from our labor
since the European w?.r began-"
The notice was signed by the "Har
bor and Boatmen's Union" and an
nounced a mass meeting Sept. 28.
The longshoremen now on strike
were employed by the Main and Met
ropolitan Steamship companies and
the Jersey Central and Pennsylvania
raiirords.
' Why the men walked out is mors
thiia I can tell," said Albert Smith,
superintendent of the steamship com
panies. "They receive the best pay
along the river front, and when they
walked out this morning they voiced
no grievances but merely said they
were through- 'this is r.hat I char
acterize as labor unrest corning from
an outside influence that we cannot
put our 'finger on. I am sure ihat
the longshoremen's union is not be
hind this walkout.
NEW FACTORY STARTED.
Ground was broken today for the
new factoiy of the Hartford Auto
Parts company on East Ellis street.
The factory, which will be 60 foot
wide, 210 feet long and two stories
high, will be located in the hollow
close to the railroad right of way.
In this manner much labor and ex
pense in excavating for the cellar will
be saved. The factory will be set
on a conrete foundation. The work
of installing the water main and
sewer in East Ellis street from Stan
ley street to the railroad bridge is
progressing rapidly and will be com
pleted within a few days.
Escaped Into Mexico.
Brownsville; Tex., Sept. 25. An:
other critical turn in the turbulent re
lations of Americans and Mexicans on
the lower Texas border was evident
today a the result of yesterday's raid
by Mexicans on the village of Pro
greso and the casualties sustained by
an American army detachment which
finally routed the invaders. All of the
Mexicans, probably eighty in number,
were said today to have escaped into
Mexico, but strong army patrols oc
cupied every foot of the Rio Grande
bank to prevent repetition of the
raid. In the interior peace officers
and citizens renewed precautions to
protect isolated settlements and
ranches.
The escape of the Mexican raiders
was regarded as one of the gravest
features of yesterdays' battle. When
the American soldiers pursued the
marauders to the river bank, it was
reported by Major Edward Ander
son of the Tw-lfth cavalry, they were
met by a brisk fire from the Mexi
can side, where apparently several
hundred Mexicans were concealed. It
also was reported that a number of
the raiders wore khaki uniforms, but
whether they , were connected with
the Carranza garrisons which hold
the varioua border towns opposite
Progreso and Brownsville could not
be learned
Wounded In No Danger.
Captain A. V. P. Anderson of the
Twelfth Cavalry, and Private Cecil
W. Kennedy, who were wounded yes
terday were reported today to be in
no danger. The body of Private Hen
ry W. Stubblefleld, who was killed by
the Mexicans, is being held for relatives.
OBSERVE HALF HOLIDAY.
Members of Allied Commission Halt
Work in Loan Negotiations.
New York, Sept. 25. Members of
the Anglo-French financial commis
sion, who are bargaining for the beat
terms o which they may establish a
half billion dollar credit here for
Great Britain and France, observed
the half-holiday today after a brief
session and prepared to leave the city
over Sunday- ,
Before the net half-holiday rolls
around, it was the general expecta
tion of bankers today, an agreement
will have been reached over the de
tails of the proposed loan. Tentative
proposals at present fix the maximum
at $500,000,000, with the possibility
that the sum may br lower. The in
terest rate, fixed per cent- will in
reality be greater, it was said, inas
much as the notes would be spld
slightly below par.
COMPANY GRANTS DEMANDS.
President Glover of the Corbin
Screw Corporation announced this
afternoon that the demands of the
polishers land grinders which were
made this morning on the officials
have been granted and the men
will return to work Monday as
usual. He said that this depart
ment had not been out on strike.
The demands called for grinders
on heavy sprocket work to be paid
a minimum rate of $3 a day and
grinders on light work to receive
$2.50 a day. The demands includ
ed a rate of twenty cents an hour
for the truckers and tJhey were also
granted.

were shot, one seriously, in a street
fight early today. , , Two men have

MAY RESUME ARABIC
CASE NEXT WEEK
Von Bernstorff Reported to Have Re
ceived 'Several Messages From Ger
many Regarding Sinking of Liner
Washington, Sept. 25 Negotiations
between Count Von Bernstorff, the
German ambassador, and the state
department over the sinking of the
White Star liner Arabic probably will
be resumed next week. The German
ambassador is understood to have re
ceived several messages from his for
eign office giving its opinion of the
evidence submitted by the United
States to show the ship was torpe
doed without warning and - did not
move to attack the undersea boat.
It is net known definitely whether
Germany is prepared to disavow the
sinking of the Arabic, with the loss
of American lives, or intends to sug
gest the submission of differences on
questions of fact to The Hague. Pres
ident Wilson's position , is unchanged
that the principles involved cannot
be submitted to arbitration, although
questions of fact or amount of . in
demnity might', be settled in that manner.

Policy Signalized by Ambassador
Von Bernstorff's Declarations at
Washington Displaced Admirals
Opposed Modifications.
Berlin, via Courier to the Frontier,
and London, Sept. 25, 5:05 A. M. Ad
miral Von Holtzendorff. former com
mander of the German high seas fleet,
now is head of the naval general staf!
succeeding Vice .Admiral Bachmann.
vice chief of the naval general staff,
also is out, and it is understood his
successor will be Admiral Von "Koch,
inspector of marine instruction at the
naval academy, although this is un
confirmed. The changes which were made some
time ao, took place in connection
with the modification In the subma
rine policy signalized by Ambassador
Von Bernstorff's declarations at
Washington. The displaced admirals,
it is understood, were opposed to the
modifications.
All Important Branch.
'The naval general staff in war time
is supposed to be the all-important
branch of naval administration. It
has charge of all operations of the
fieet; directs its strategic plans and
dispositions, and issues the orders unr
der which all units of the navy op
erate. In time of peace it was over
shadowed by Admiral Von Tirpitz and
the ministry of marine, owing to the
dominant" personality of Von TJrpiti.
Even in the stress of war Von TlrpiU
has been able to exercise considerable
influence upon" the naval policy.
Big Man of Navy.
The new chief, Von Holtzendorff is
one of the big men of the navy. Em
peror William gave him command of
the high seas fleet at the outset of the
dreadnought era, when the advent of
the all big gun type of battleship
made Germany a dangerous rival of
Great Britain, and he retained that
command until just before the war
began when he was succeeded by Ad
miral Von Ingenohl, who in turn gave
way last spring to Admiral Von Pohl.
The new chief of the naval staff,
with his bushy snow white beard, his
square, thick set frame and his frank,
positive manner is a typical seaman.
He carries marks of force written all
over him an impression which is
heightened by his deliberate but thor
oughly frank speech and enjoys the
respect of naval officers generally.
Believes in New Policy.
He is, The Associated Press cor
respondent has good reason to believe,
firmly committed to the new line of
submarine policy in regard to passen
ger steamers and is thoroughly con
vinced no more of them will be sunk,
as he considers the measures now be
ing taken adequate to prevent all pos
sibility of accident or error. Subma
rine commanders have been instruct
ed not only not to torpedo passenger
steamers without warning them and
giving passengers and crew an oppor
tunity to escape unless the liners at
temnt to fight or run away when
hailed, but also to adopt the safe
course when there Is doubt as to the
intentions of the ship, and not Are
torpedo unless absolutely convinced of
a hostile intent.
There have been no developments
in the submarine question from the
German side since the despatch to
Ambassador Von Bernstorff of the in
structions under which he now is con
ducting negotiations at Washington.
LANDERS HONORED BY
COMMITTEE ELECTION
Will Represent Hartford County on
New Body Created by Democratic
Slate Central Committee.
Ex-Mayor George M. Landers of
this city was chosen Hartford coun
ty's representative on the executive
committee of the democratic state
central committee at a meeting lu

Wlwn the state central committee
met in New Haven last August It was
voted to establish an executive com
mittee to consi.st of one representative

was to be selected by the senatorial
district mmbers of the state central
committee. Those present at the
Harford meeting yesterday were
Messrs. Coleman, Dillon and Spellacy
of Hartford, Conors of Enfield,
Hayes of Manchester, Brannon of
Bristol and Landers of New Britain.
The election of Mr. Lander is a
compliment to New Britain, it would
have been possible for Hartford to
dictate the member of the executive
committee as that city had three rep
resentatives present.

GERMANS CLASH WITH
POPULACE OF LILLE
Factories Refuse to Make
Sand Bags $75,000 De
ducted from Civic Funds
Amsterdam, Sept. 25, via London,
11:25 a. m. The German military au
thorities at Lille, French soldiers, have
aagin clashed with the populace
this time over the refusal
of Lille factories to maka
sacks for use by the Germans as
sand bags for their defense works.
Unable to procure the sacks, the Ger
man authorities notified the mayor
that an amount equivalent to the out
put of the Lille factories would be
manufactured , in Germany and the
cost of production assessed aisalnst
the city. This was carried out, not
withstanding a vigorous protest.' The
strong room of the town was forced
and $75,000 was deducted from the
civic funds.
In addition to this, $6,200,000 of
w.ar taxes was demanded. Pending
the payment of this sum the Ger
mans placed seals on the banks, as
well as on the strong rooms of In
dividuals, as a guarantee that securi
ties would not be removed.
The Lille authorities insisted that
this sum could not be met where
upon the Germans suggested . a com-.
nromise Davment of $3,200,000. A
penalty of $20,000 a day was imposed
pending the payment.
U. S. MUST INSIST ON
RECALL OF DUMBA
Austrian Told His Departure "On
Leave of Absence" Will Not Be
Satisfactory.
Washington, Sept. 25 Ambassador
Penfield at Vienna has been instruct
ed to make clear to the Austrian gov
ernment informally that the United
States must insist on the recall of
Dr. Dumba, the Austrian ambassador,
and that his departure "On leave of
absence" would not be satisfactory.
From messages exchanged between
Ambassador Penfield and the state
department it is apparent that the
Austrian government misunderstood
the desires of the United States. It
was intimated at first to Ambassador
Penfield that the Austrian govern
ment might recall Dr- Dumba on leaVe
of absence and might desire eafe
conduct for him-
Instructions sent to Mr. Penfield
were not disclosed, but he has been
authorized to make it clear that Dr.
Dumba's usefulness as the Austrian
ambassador to the United States Jias
ceased and that if given merely "leave
of absence" he would nevertheless
still remain accredited.
The right of a government to de
mand the recall of an ambassador
because of his personal acts is un
questioned under lnternatioreal law,
and according to officials, if the Aus
trian government persisted in refus
ing to recall Dr. Dumba passports
could be handed to him. There U
no indication as yet that this will be
necessary.
