SAYS ARMY CHIEFS
GRAB MEXICO FOOD
Gen. Devol, Red Cross Manager,
Reports on Work
of Relief.
HUGE TAX IS COLLECTED
ON GRAIN AT THE BORDER
No Actual Starvation. Because People
Can Subsist on Cactus and
Other Plants.
Declaring: that while non-combatants
in Mexico are suffering: for want of
food the military leaders of both the
Villa and Carranza factions are reaping
a rich harvest from export taxes
placed upon foodstuffs exported from
Mexico, Brig. Gen. Devol, general manager
of the American Red Cross, has
submitted a detailed report to the War
Department on conditions existing In
Mexico.
"Both Qen. Hernandez and Gen. Villa,"
said the report, "prohibited the
purchase of food supplies In Mexico for
relief of the Mexican people, stating
lhat any such supplies must be purchased
outside of Mexico. The reason
riven Is that the food in Mexico is required
to feed the Mexican soldiers.
The real reason, in my opinion, is that
there is a military export tax, or, in
pther words, that a charge on all exportations,
amounting on the northern
border to $400 to $500, for each car
?? "* *1- - Tklo
mat ti UOBC3 11IC Ulri UCI . x uto Iiivnvj
is paid direct to the military leaders.
Corn Cheaper in Mexico.
"For instance, at the time supplies
were being purchased for Monclova
three carloads of corn could have been
purchased on the Mexican side for 56
cents per bushel; the actual supply
^ost the Red Cross 94 cents per bushel.
The difference in the price per bushel
indicates the amount of revenue accruing
to the military authorities from
?xport products. Relatively the same
iifference applies as regards beans.
"There are still large quantities of
pood supplies assembled in various
;>arts of Mexico and held by the miliary
authorities and not permitted to
-each the people. In the province of
Michoacan there is a large deposit of
*orn and wheat, said to be 10,000 tons
>f corn and 2,000 tons of wheat under
'ontrol of Carranza. Northwest of
Mexico, in the state of Juanajuato,
there is another large deposit, the
>wner, several weeks ago, not being
ible to obtain information as to which
nilitary faction was in control. In the
. ieinity of Saltillo there is a large
vheat crop variously estimated at
rom 1,000 to 2,000 carloads. There is
*l*o 1,000 tons of corn opposite Del
Ftio which was offered to me by the
>wner, stating that he was holding it
ind also explaining that his high price
vas due to the fact that a portion of
he money received would have to be
)aid to the military authorities. As
;his place had just been captured by
I'arranza, -it is presumed that the tax
vould go to that faction.
Can Live on Little.
"At the present time there may not
be any actual cases of starvation In
Mexico. The Mexican people can live
on little or nothing, and when driven
to it can subsist for some time on cactus
and other plants. There is In nearly
every part of Mexico destitution and
constant misery. People outside the
military factions subsist only by sufferance,
and only when permitted to do
bo by the military leaders. It is evirient
that not 50 per cent of a crop has
been planted generally throughout
Mexico. Continual suffering: obtains
and is growing worse from day to day.
"The methods of exaction used by
the leaders of all factions appear to
be identical. All commercial supplies
and industries are exploited for the
benefit of the military. Owing to the
political and physical conditions in
Mexico, there appears to be no adequate
relief even if the American people
would contribute for this purpose.
This, however, they have only done to
a very limited extent to this date."
Miss Boardman Asks Conference.
Miss Mabel T. Boardman of the Red
Cross has written to President Wilson
asking for an appointment for a conference
with him regarding Mexican
relief questions. She asked that the
President see with her Gen. Devol and
Ernest P. Blcknell, the national director
of the Red Cross, who recently
returned from the European war zone.
W. O. Cox of New York, treasurer of
the national Mexican relief committee
of the Red Cross, has been appointed
assistant treasurer of the American
Red Cross to facilitate the work of the
Mexican committee.

Submarine Officers' School Success.
Satisfactory progress with the new
school for the training of submarlni
officers haa been reported to Secretar]
Daniels by Capt. Albert W. Grant, re
cently designated as chief of the submarine
service afloat and ashore. I
Is Indicated that the next Congress wll

"DISCIPLINARY NAVY SHIPS;
PROVING SATISFACTORY
Secretary Daniels Finds New Correctional
Methods for Offenders
Saves Men to Service.
Shipboard discipline on specially designated
vessels as a substitute for the old
disciplinary barracks for youthful offenders
is bringing most satisfactory results,
Secretary Daniels announced today.
Older men who have served a part of their
sentences ashore also are sent to these
I ships and drills and instruction substituted
for ordinary forms of prison labor.
A boat's crew from the disciplinary ship
Topeka at the Portsmouth yard, the state- j
ronnt snvs won thn cil\-^r? trnnhv off#*red !
by the Portsmouth Yacht Club at the last ,
I Fourth of July regatta, competing against I
entries from, the cruiser Montana, gun- I
i boats 1'aducah and Tacoma and other i
- ships.
Victory Due to Training.
Officers ascribed the victory to the careful
training in all branches of sailor work j
given "detentloners" on the ships. Their
work includes academic and vocational
training calculated to increase their efficiency
when returned to duty. During
sentence they are not allowed shore liberty,
but those who show proficiency are
restored to duty on probation on regular
liberty and pay of their rating. At the
end of the two-month probation as a
rule, it is added, they are discharged and
sent to sea.
"This feature," the statement continues,
"from results obtained appears to satisfy
the ends of discipline and also saves to
the service a number of more or less i
I careless and wayward youths who in a j
moment of thoughtlessness absent them- :
selves from the naval service without I
fully realizing the consequences of their
actions."
NAVY SEEKING DEFENSE
FOR BIG SHIPS' HULLS
II
*
Experiments Being Conducted to Determine
the Value of New
Armor Devices.
Results of the first experiment by
naval officials in an effort to find adequate
defense for battleships against
submarines will not be known for several
days, although the experiment
itself already has been made at Norfolk.
The caisson against which a
charge of high explosive equal to that
in a modern torpedo was fired was
j sent to the bottom, as had been anticipated,
and it will not be raised and
placed in drydock at the navy yard
until the end of the week. Experts >
from the bureau of construction and j
repair who planned the test will then j
go to Norfolk to make an examination.
The work is under direction of
Rear Admiral Taylor, chief of the buj
reau.
No information as to the nature of
the construction placed aboard the
float has been given out by the department.
It is known, however, that the
series of experiments of which this
was the first will include tests of hull
subdivision schemes and also of armor
against torpedo attack.
Experiments with torpedo nets also
are being conducted by one ship of
the Atlantic fleet. The results of these
j tests will have bearing on the hull
! design of the two superdreadnaughts
j authorized by the latest Congress and
I upon thrfi plans for which navy en:
gineers are now engaged.
I MOKE COKE OVENS OPERATED.
! Nine Hundred Added This Week,
Production Now 371,000 Tons.
CONNELLSVILLE. Pa., July 22.?Nine
, hundred ovens were this week added
to the producing capacity of the Connellsville
coke region, bringing producing
possibilities to 400,000 tons a
i week. If all were in blast. That point,
however, was not reached, reported
production having been 371,000 tons
with shipments 5,000 tons over the preceding
week. Furnace ovens in oper.
ation are 76.5 per cent of the total and
merchant ovens 62.6.
Labor Is sufficient and operators are
not yet worrying on that score.

t'l
Tells of Condemned Man's Confer- h
ence With East Side Boss Be- n
II
fore tram bier's Murder. ?
ALBANY. N. Y., July 22.?Gov. Whitman
says that a careful study of the
statement of former Police Lieut.
Charles Becker, now under sentence of ^
death for instigating: the murder of 11
Herman Rosenthal, the gambler, has ^
not changed his opinion of the guilt ti
of the convicted man.
"There is only one thing new in the
statement," the governor said; "that is ^
the allegation that the late Alfred s
Henry Lewis told Becker he was to
be 'framed up/ That would have been ^
an important bit of evidence. If true. a
But if It were true, why was not Lewis n
called to the stand during Becker's P
second trial? Now. with Becker facing
death, we hear of this matter after
Lewis is dead." 1
The governor said that during Becker's
trial he was familiar with virtual- /
ly all the allegations made by the
condemned man in the statement. The
governor added that he would have
questioned Becker concerning them if
Becker had taken the witness stand in C
his own defense. 1
Confirms Rose's Story. ?
The Becker statement, the governor r
declared, only confirmed Jack Rose's f
story that after the Rosenthal murder v
Becker was sending messages to Rose j.
charging him not to tell anything he j,
knew about the case. n
Bernard Sandler, attorney for Rose e
and for Sam Schepps, another witness t
at the Becker trial, conferred with the s
governor today. t>
"Sandler told me." said the governor, c
"that he recently had talked with Rose
and that he would not retract a bit p
of his testimony." ^
The governor said tonight that Harry l
Applebaum, formerly "Big Tim" Sulli- ?
van's secretary, conferred with him re- p
cently. Applebaum added no material a
evidence to the case, the executive said, s
Denies Insanity Due to Murder.
NEW YORK, July 22.?Corroboration
of some features of the appeal of j
Charles Becker, under sentence of | Z
death for instigating the murder of j E
Merman Rosenthal. Ihe cambler. has! ?
been given here in a long statement Z
issued by Harry Appelbaum, secretary z
to the lat? Timothy D. Sullivan. z
Appelbaum said that Sullivan was a very
sick man long before the Rosen- Z
thai murder, "so that Rosenthal's af- ~
fairs and his subsequent murder did Z
not drive Tim crazy, as has been said." Z
Appelbaum declared that after the ?
publication of Rosenthal's affidavit Z
charging that Becker was interested Z
in Rosenthal's gambling house Sulli- z
van sent Appelbaum to see Becker and Z
to get the latter to come to Sullivan's ;
office. Appelbaum says that he met 2
Jack Rose. Bridgie Webber and Harry z
Vallon, and got Rose to call up Becker, ;
who promised to come down to Sulli- Z
van's office. Z
Appelbaum brought Becker down in 2
his car with Rose. On the way Rose, ;
according to Appelbaum, indicated his 2
bitterness toward Rosenthal, saying: Z
"Some one ought to croak Rosenthal." 2
Appelbaum added: "I immediately 2
protested at such a thought, and Beck- ;
er spoke up and said: "No, they hadn't, z
He wants to be let absolutely alone. Z
No friend of mine must harm a hair Z

Suggested Rosenthal Go Away. e
Reaching: Sullivan's office, Appelbaum ?
lid that Sullivan suggested to Becker ^
lat perhaps it would be a good thing ;
> have Rosenthal go away "until this j
tiing was tided over."
Becker objected, Appelbaum said, he ;
Becker) adding that Rosenthal would i
ay Sullivan sent him away. Appelbaum ;
aid that when the conference ended
ullivan called him aside and told him
1 the presence of Becker that he must
ee Rosenthal that night and tell him
hat he must not go down to the disrict
attorney's office to corroborate
IO aitiudVll. I
Appelbaum said he met Rosenthal I
nd that the latter promised he would
ot persist in trying to get any one to
orroborate the affidavit.
"There was never,'' Appelbaum coninued,
"any proposition made to Herman
Rosenthal from Tim Sullivan or
rom me to go away, or to receive any |
um of money, for Herman always j
tood ready to do anything Tirn asked !
im to do. Any meetings that 1 had i
dth Becker or any one else after the
lurder were for the purpose of keepig
Sullivan's name from being used
i connection with this matter."
Loaned Rosenthal Money.
Here Appelbaum said that Sullivan
ad loaned Rosenthal on several occa- !
ions sums of money aggregating
2,500 each "just as he had done to
lany other friends."
Appelbaum said that he had been
rilling to make his statement at all
imes since Sullivan's death. Before the
econd trial, he said, he told John
lecker, brother of Charles Becker, that
lie "proper thing for his brother to do
: he was innocent was to take the i
tand." * I
Appelbaum's statement concluded: i
"If there is anything in this statelent
that will create such a reasonble
doubt of Becker's guilt in the
linds of the public or those who have
ower to act, I am very glad to give
: in the interests of justice."
