Svplaln ICetnrn to Torreon In Blrs-
urc -to Kmof Here.
A private dispatch front -Cm. Villa re
vived here last night by Felix Sumner
fcld, one of the representatives of the
constitutionalists, explained to him in de
.all the reason for his return to Torreon.
Bj Mr Summerfeld was not at liberty, he
p declared, to make the full intention of
Gen Villa public at this time, but said
that the reason would become apparent
I. within a few dajs.
Summerfeld declared that the communl-
ation stated, however, that Villa's move
"joward Carranza's present position in
r Monterey had in it absolutely no threat
' if war with the "first chief." He de
dared that his dispatch from Villa stated
plainly that his own move and the move-
nent of a part of his troops from Aguas
FJalientes back to Torreon involved no
lostiie Intentldh toward Carranza or any
1 )f his followers, and that he still recog-
lized Carranza as the "first chief" of the

It was intimated by members of the
Junta, that Villa Intended to send repre-
sentatlves to confer with Carranza or
his representatives In an effort to settle
I their present difficulties before proceed

City and the territory Intervening be
tween the position of Villa's army and

Antrrlea Reported Executed.
A report reached Washington last night
that Villa had executed Gen. Felipe An
geles, who Is blamed by one faction of
the Junta here for Villa's disaffection
and that a number of other executions
had been ordered by the commander of
the northern division. Even those mem
bers of the junta who have been most
active In criticising Villa and Angeles
.regard the report as unfounded, and
leclare they would most certainly have
deard of It had such an unlooked-for
thing occurred. Summerfeld declared
that Angeles was Villa's right hand in
his military operations, and that they
were the best of friends.
The two factions of the junta remain
divided on Carranza's acceptance of the
proposal for informal conferences with

MAN WITH $225,000
CHECK HELD BY POLICE
Louis- A. Gucci, of Richmond, Says
He Had Too Many Drinks Before
Reaching Capital.
FORGED HIS OWN NAME, TOO
Louis A. Clucci was sitting on the steps
of the mall car at Richmond. Va.. about
to start for Washington.
According to his own story, Louis had
a few drinks and was basking and
dreaming In Virginia.
Just as the train was pulling out. a
messenger rushed up and thrust an en
velope Into his hands. He was too com
fortable to be disturbed and poked it
into his pocket.
Rambling through Virginia. Clucci
grew curious as to the contents, and not
withstanding the fact that the envelope
was addressed to the treasuerer of the
Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad, in New
York, he opened It. There u a check
Inside to the order of the addressee for
K2S.O0O.
Clucci thought it was CK, but In his
very happy frame of mind, eten that
looked good to him. As he recalled the
Incident last night, he was puzzled to
know who had made him this present.
But at any rate when he left the train
at Union Station he wandered over to
the North Capitol Savings Bank and de
posited the check.
The cashier of the bank explained' to
the police that the tellers thought Clued
was crazy, and had accepted the check
and Issued a passbook so as not to arouse
the depositor. Clucci indorsed his own
name across the back of the big check
and the teller Insisted that he supple
ment the signature with the words
"agent of the Chesapeake and Ohio Rail
way." Clucci readily accommodated him.
Yesterday morning Clucci woke up and
found the bank book In his pocket. Then
he said he made the discovery that he
had 225,000 to his credit. A little later
he saw a piece In The Herald about his
having deposited the check.
But before he had time to recover
from his surprise at finding $225,000 in
his possession when he thought he only
had 1225, Detectives Frank Cornweli
and Jake Berman entered the B street
residence where he had spent the night
with a friend, and escorted him to
police headquarters where he was given
ample time to explain the mystery of
the check.
Luther L. Scherer, chief special agent
of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad,
wired J. W. Connelly, chief special
agent of the Southern Railroad, ask
ing him to go to the North Capitol
Savings Bank and order the check
canceled.
Scherer is the complaining witness
against Clucci, and the charge against
the unhappy Virginian is that when he
indorsed the check as agent of the Ches
apeake and Ohio Railroad, he automat
ically became a forger.
At police headquarters Clued said that
he had had a "party" In Richmond and
had not been In "full possession of his
faculties" when he had boarded the trJln
at Richmond.
TO INSPECT FISH MARKETS.
Fish wharves and markets of a num
ber of Eastern cities will be inspected by

of weights and measures and markets,
acting as representative of the Depart
ment of Agriculture. An Investigation
will be made of a recently adopted plan
for refrigerating fish without -freezing.

which they showed their resentment
Denouncing as weak the President's
statement that suffrage Is a Federal
question, and that In putting his party
definitely on record as refusing to aid
the suffrage cause he would turn the
several million enfranchised -omfn
against the Democracy, the leaders gave
vent to their feelings at a lawn party
at the home of Mrs. William Kent wife
of the Representative from California,
last night
little satisfaction did the 23 club
women, eight children of club mothers, and
the one babe In a club mother's arms re
ceive from the President when they told
htm he should change his mind and al
low Congress to act at this session upon
the suffrage resolution.
"I do not think It 1' quite proper
that I submit myself to cross examina
tion.' the President told the women In
answer to the question from Mrs. Rheta
Chllde Dorr, who asked him If he did
not think that when the Constitution
was made It was agreed that when three
fourths or the States wanted a reform
that the other fourth would receive it
also.
MUs Alice Paul. Chairman of the Con
gressional Union for Women Suffrage
said last evening:
"By his reply to the Club Women's
deputation, the President as the spokes
man of his party has definitely put his
party on record as refusing help to the
suffrage cause. The several million en
franchised women cannot fail to remem

affiliations next November.
"The weakness of his statement that as
the leader of the party he still considered
himself bound by the party platform. Is

Atlantic City. June 30.-In a torrid
speech. In which he denounced the pres
ent dress fashions of women and con
demned the tango and kindred dances.
Dr. Frank C. Richarson, of Bostcn, de
clared today before the Homeopathic
Congress that the blame for crime may
be In large part laid on these two present
day evils, which do more to contaminate;
oum; men and women than any other
cause.
"The suppression of present mode of
dress would be of far more value than
the zealous exploitation of the white
slave traffic and the social evil," declared
Dr. Richardson.
"Women In creations admittedly de
signed for the Paris demimonde, vie with
each other as to hew far they may re
veal the female form" divine. Remove a
little drapery and nothing is left to the
imagination."
Declaring that woman Is the natural
custodian of morals. Dr. Richardson said
that "she violates this sacred trust which
nature and society have confined to her
and It can only be expected that she
loses man's respect
"Modern dance halls are the modern
nursery of the divorce courts, the
training ship of prostitution and the
graduation school of Infamy. Our
young people's dances defy description.
They are impure, contaminating and
deadly."
Officers for the coming year were elect
ed as follows:

VIEWS OF PRESIDENT
ON SUFFRAGE ISSUE
T have stated once before the
position which as the leader of
a party I feel obliged to take and
I-am sure that you will not wish
me to state It again."
"I think that few persons, per
haps, realize the difficulty of the
dual duty that must be exercised,
whether he will or not by a
President of the United States."
"There Is no ground for dis
couragement In the progress you
are making."
"My pssslon is for local self
government" "The best way of settling this
thing and the best considered
principles of the Constitution
with regard to It is the fact that
it should be settled by the
States."
"I have no right to criticise the
opinions of others who have dif
ferent convictions, and I certain
ly would not wish to do so."
"I can only say that I have
tried to answer your question and
I do not think It Is quite proper
that I submit myself to cross
exam'natlon." settled by the State can only be regarded
as an excuse. The passage of this amend
ment would mean doing no more for the
wlimen of the country than the nation
has already done by the same method for
the negro race. It is difficult to see
how it can be considered an Infringe
ment on States' rights in view of the
fact that the amendment when passed
by Congress, will require the ratifica
tion of the States It would simply mean
the yielding of one-fourth of the States
to the other three-fourths, which Is only
in accordance with majority rule "

ROOT AND SMITH
NEARTOBLOWS
New York Senator Resents
Questions Put to Banker at
Treaty Hearing.
DEMOCRATS HOLD ALOOF
Michigan Solon Insists Financiers Are
Eager to HaVe the Pact
Ratified.
Actual fisticuffs between Senators Root
of New York, and William Alden Smith,
of Michigan, were narrowly averted in
the Senate Foreign Relations Committee
near the close of yesterday's session on
the Klcaraguan treaty.
Senator Root objected time and time
again during the meeting to questions
which Senator Smith fired at the New
York bankers present to tell of their
part in the troubled finances of the Cen
tral American republic.
Cllranx Win Reached.
The climax was reached when Senator
Smith, leaning over the table, demanded
of James Brown, member of the firm of
Brown Brothers, New York bankers, his
personal connection with the purchase
of what Senator Smith said were fraudu
lent Nlcaraguan bonds, in the expecta
tion that he could use the State Depart
ment of the United States to force a
weak country to redeem those bonds at
par.
Senator Root registered a stronger pro
test than usual at this treatment of a
member of a well-known New York bank
ing Arm, whereupon Senator Smith de
nounced the organized financial opposi
tion which he said he was meeting in his
efforts to bring out the truth, in the,
relations- between the State Department
and New York bankers In "bleeding
Nicaragua."
Smith likened the opposition to that
which met his attempted probe during
tho Titanic hearings. This was bitterly
relented by Senator Root who was sit
ting directly at Senator Smith's side, and
only the efforts of fellow-commltteemen
enabled the committee to avoid breaking
up in a little riot
Democratic members of the committee
took no part In the controversy. It was
not wholly unexpected. There came near
being a break Monday between the two
Senators, while Secretary Bryan was hav
ing a controversy with Senator Smtta
over a request by the latter that the
State Department supply the committee
with the reports of former Consul Gun
ther In regard to the Issuance of the
additional currency by the Dlax admlnis-
fratlon.

the Diaz administration, should go Into

his willingness to bring the Consul's re
ports to the committee room and read
them to the members of the committee.
Defend Secretary Brynn.
Senator Smith insisted that this would
not satisfy him, and Senator Root inter
posed the remark that Secretary Bryan
was clearly within his privileges as Sec
retary of State in withholding any or all
of the Information. This suggestion from
Mr. Root seemed to annoy Senator Smith.
who addressed the Senator from New
York sharply, saying that he was sur
prised at that Senator's attitude.
The feeling as a result of this incident
had not disappeared when the commit
tee reconvened yesterday. Senator Smith
had been practically alone In fighting the
ratification of the Nlcaraguan treaty In
the Senate committee meeting. Senator
Borah is opposed to it but he has not
been attending the meetings. The other
Republicans are understood to be in fa
vor of the treat-.
Senator Smith brought from James
Brown the information that, the bankers
have paid J1.CCO.000 for 1 per cent of the.
stock of the national railway in Nica
ragua, which they own. having acquired
It from the Nicaragua republic.
In Session fur Ilnnm.
The Committee on Foreign Relations
was in session most of the day. Secre
tary Bryan was present again jeaterday.
No further teps have been taken look
ing to action under the resolution in
troduced by Senator Stone, directing
an Investigation into the "leaks" from
the dally hearings of the committee,
which are supposed to be secret Senator
Stone has made Inquiries several times of
John Sharp Williams, chairman of the
Committee to Audit and Control Con
tingent Expenses, as to the fate of the
resolution, but Mr. Williams has replied
that it was impossible to get a meet
ing of his committee.
It is evident that some of the members
of the Foreign Relations Committee are
not desirous of entering upon this inqui
sition. They believe that the introduction
of the resolution has served the purpose
of calling attention to the alleged leaks,
and Imposing upon the members of the
committee a degree of caution.
Following the clash between Senator
Root and Senator Smith, members of
the committee were reluctant to discuss
It But It was finally brought out that
the dispute between Senator Root and
Senator Smith was extremely personal.
That it may be laid before the Senate
In open session appears likely. Senator
Smith was quoted by one Senator as
saying at the close of the affJ tht
what he might have to say of thsnBea-
ator from New York would be saWia
public and to the public; tnttmattW
that he would carry the matter to the1:

An anonymous letter received by Capt.
Charles Peck, of the First precinct, yes
terday, caused him to take a squad of
detectives and patrolmen to tbe old
Masonic Temple on a hunt for a bomb
last night. The officers did not find a
bomb, but did find a box containing an
electrical machine of a harmless varlety
which Is supposed to have prompted the
letter.
Several fraternal lodges meet In tne
hall and one of them Initiated several
candidates last night. The police think
one of the members put the machine in
the hall to have a little fun with the
candidates. The instant the news got to
members of the National Democratic
Fair Play Association, who held a imw
meeting in the hall last night to protest
against appointing a non-resident nesr
to the office of recorder of deeds, tney
concluded It was all a plot to blow them
up.
An electrician, who belongs to one or
the lodges that meet In the hall. Is slid
to have put the "infernal maehlne" in
the place. He took into his confidence
another man enjployed in the building
who, fearing it might not prove after all
to be a Joke, it U thought, wrote the
letter to Captain Peck.
That officer, accompanied by. Detectives
Simpson and Howes and several patrol- I
men. went to the hall early In the even
ing and found the box. Without taking
time to examine Its contents, they carried
box and all to the station. There they
Inspected the machine and carried it back
to the balL It is still there. The initia
tion went off smoothly, as did the big
mass meeting.
It looks like somebody spoiled a Joke.

to see one of his daughters sail, was killed.
The accident was spectacular. The pier
was crowded with people there to bid
fare ell to sailing friends.
The steerage gang plank was run out
from the second story of the pier. This
gang plank Is a long one, hinged In the
middle In such a way that the outer end
hangs downward when not resting on a
ship. It Is usual to lift off this steerage
gang plank ten minutes before the ship
sails. Today the signal was given, the
ropes drawn taught and the end of the
gang plank resting on the liner was
drawn Into' the air and slid a little toward
the pier, bending at the hinge, the section
that had rested on the steamer swung
downward In a killing blow. The lower
floor of the pier was thronged with
people and the gang plank was Just long
enough to reach their shoulders. The
plank struck Cosgrove and knocked him
unconscious. He died shortly after
wards. NEW ORLEANS WARS ON RATS.

Pittsburgh. Pa., June 30. Keeping a
promise he' made some time ago and re
fused to break, despite the warnings of
Dr. Alexander Lambert, his family
physician. Col. Theodore Roosevelt to
night delivered a speech, which was In
effect the opening gun in the Pennsyl
vania campaign for United States Sena'

The former President's address was' In
tended primarily to aid Glfford Plncbot.
the Washington party nominee. In his
race for the Senate. Mr. Roosevelt, how
ever, took advantage of the opportunity
afforded htm tonight to "boost" the candi
dacy of Dean Lewis for the governor.
Speaking of these two men. he sald:
"I am glad to speak for such mea.
By their lives they have honercs!

fortune to have them in public posllJeeW
for already In private positions they tera

public servants." ,

Many in the large audience detect;
a huskiness in the speaker's voieV"
Mr Roosevelt also seemed toi-eailie
tbe weakness of his vocal organs and
refrained from the vigorous delivery
which in tbe past has marked hlsib
lie utterances.
Leaving Oyster Bay this morning, ths
former President motored to New York
and boarded a. train for Pittsburgh.
Theodore. Js nd John McCratliptfc

the party.
In the course of his remarks. Mr.
Roosevelt said.
"The present national administration
is pursuing a cours that prevents the
existence of prosperity, and that does
not offer a single serious or intelligible.
plan for passing prosperity arousd,
should prosperity, in ipite of thn art rip e '
Istration's efforts at some future dsAsv
return to our ieopIe. This is trueein
as regards the trust question andtn
tariff question. As regards both the, only,
wise course to follow is that set .forth ,
in the National Progressive platform.
The nation should deal with both by'ew
tlnuing executive action through admin
istrative commissions of ample power.
One commission should shape ourj tarilt
policies to as, with thorough knowledge?
disinterestedly acquired, to give' proper
encouragement to our merchants while'
also giving proper protection- to our
wage workers, our iarmers ana our
business men. The other commission
should exercise strict supervision ami
control over big business. We should
treat it with entire Justice, drawing- th
line not on size, but on misconduct.

"As regards the tariff. I"wlsb, especially
to call your attention to the promises
made by President Wilson and his sup
porters two years ago. They asserted
th.t (h.i. Tnthfwl nt tajiff reduction
would reduce the cost of living and would
thus solte the trust question., because,
as they said, the trusts were" the crea
tures of the tariff. We then answered
that their promises werV, empty words,
that no such results as they stated could

tariff question be dealt with so
