ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH
VERA CRUZ, July 10. Querido
Moheno, former Mexican minister of
commerce and labor, before departing
on board the Espagne for Cuba and
the United States bitterly criticized
the policy of the United States to
ward Mexico. As he sat in the for
ward saloon of the French liner.
Senor Moheno looked through a port
hole toward the American flag flying
over Vera Cruz and shook his fist
in rage.
He insisted that he is in a position
to produce proofs that there existed
-a secret platform" of the progres
sive party in the United States, of
which Colonel Roosevelt was cogniz
ant and of which he concurred, look
ing to the disruption of Mexico and
the acquisition ultimately by the
United States of all the territory be
tween the Rio Grande and Panama.
Moheno said Francisco Escudcro,
who is minister of foreign relations
in Carranza's cahinet, has letters
which to him are conclusive evidence
that his allegations are true and de
clared he hoped to be able to pro
duce these letters at the proper
time.
"Not only were the leaders of the
progressive party pledged to this pol
icy," he added, "but politicians of
both the republican and democratic
parties had premised their secret
support. That Wilson himself had
subscribed to this iniquitous conspir
acy Is evident y-his attitude toward
Mexico. Not a single American in
all the hundred million population of
the United States can give a satis
factory answer to to why these troops
are there on the shore in Vera
Cruz."
"To show up Wilson's crime against
Mexico the greatest in the history
of modern nations," is the announced
object of Moheno's trip to the United
States. He arrived here this morn
ing on the Espagne from Puerto
Mexico and he said he would not go
ashore during the liner's stay at Vera
Cruz to view what was to him a dis
agreeable spectacle under existing
conditions."
When asked if he were going
ashore while in Veta Cruz, Senor
Moheno replied: "Going ashore? No,
not I. It is not a pleasant spectacle
for any patriotic Mexican. However,
don't think that I am afraid to. I
do not fear the Americans, nor do I
fear my own people.
"I left Huerta's cabinet because I
was asked to," he continued. "Huerta
did not give me any reason. T am
not running away because I fear the
constitutionalists when they get there
and their coming is inevitable.
In the first place I do not fear them
because I am not a military man
and second, I have always befriended
any person who was persecuted by
the government. No crime of that
character can be attributed to me,
as It was in the case of Urrutia."
Traveling on the same boat as the
ex-minister are General Joaquin
Maas, Col. Maiio Maas, relatives of
Huerta, and their families. The only
apparent reason for the filght of the
Maas brothers was to escape from
the capital before its fall, the inevit
ability of which they also admitted.
Brig. Gen. Funston sent an officer
alward the Espagne before the ship
docked to ascertain the intention of
Moheno and Gen. Maas. He feared
to have them come ashore, on ac
count of the probability of an un
friendly reoeptlon by the Mexicans
of this port. They were assured that
If they cared to come ashore they
would be given military protection
against their own people.
Moheno trembled visibly while talk
ing to the lieutenant and was ap
parently holding himself in restraint.
Shipwreck Victims Are

They were the children of Captain

Autumn Styles
For Men To Be
English Models
t ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCHl
ATLANTIC CITY, July 10. Amer
ican men who profess to follow
Fashion's dec.-ee, will wear suits of
English, or form-fitting models, this
fall and winter, according to the
standards approved at the opening
session of the National Association
of Manufacturing Clothiers and De
signers' convention. The opinion of j
all delegates wag unanimous in ap- j
proving the form-fitting styles, and
their decree will be accepted without
question by most of the leading
clothing manufacturers.
Overcoats will have the ''French
back" and be of the double breasted
button through variety. Balamacan,
so popular last season, was also ap
proved, and with slight modifica
tions will again be worn this fall.
Coats will be tingle breasted, cut
very snugly at the waist line and
just a trifle shorter than last season,
with soft roll lapels and three but
tons. Trousers will be shapely and
of medium width. Several delegates
were of the opinion that the popu
larity of the new tlances is respon
sible for the demand for fo.-m-fitting
clothing.
He assured the officer that he had
no desire to leave the ship.
General Maas was surly. He
thanked the lieutenant for Funston's
offer, but with noticeable sarcasm
assured him that none of his party
would land under the American flag.
Moheno also announced that he
would publish a book explaining his
connection with Mexican political af
fairs since "the tragic ten days" and
also deliver lectures. By these meth
ods and through interviews in the
newspapers, he said, he hoped to
convince the American people of the
enormity of the "crime committed
not only by President Wilson hut by
the political factois in the United
States, regardless of party."
Moheno added that he did not

interests were responsible for the

"There used to be more than a
trace of suspicion existing between
farmers of the same district," said
Prof. W. H. Lawrence of tho Uni
versity of Arizona, in his foreword
yesterday at the city hall plaza; "but
I am glad to say that such a sus
picion is fast disappearing. Organ
izations such as this is, farmers' In
stitutes, with a display of products
grown successfully, have done much
within the last few years to clear
up the suspicion which I was per
fectly cognizant of when I was j
young fellow on the farm It is srood
for farmers to get together and swap'
ideas. It serves better to make their
living more happy. It serves better to
make their calling a productive and
efficient one."
This is the reason "Why" the annual
exhibit of farm products that takes
place every year on the north side of
the city hall plaza in Phoenix, at
which the farmers of Maricopa county
bring their prize growings. It has
two purposes: First, to show each
other what can be done, and, second,
to show the outside world what is
doing in this section. The exhibit
yesterday was an eye-opener to many
who passed before the stands laden
with the fruit of the field and furrow.
For the entire side of the block,
tastefully laid out, could bo found
almost anything that grows that the
heart may desire Fruit and vege
tables galore many more varieties
than come to the lot of every man
to sample, much less become actually
acquainted with.
Beginning at the First street end of
the block the visitor encountered the
baled alfalfa, alfalfa seed in sacks,
grain of all kinds, corn on the cob
and roasting ears in profusion. Here
also were alfalfa stalks five and more
feet long. Cotton was next and oc
cupied a great part of the display.
especially the volunteer stalks lor
which an added premium was given.
These volunteer stalks aro those
plants that grow from the chopped
off stalk of last year. There were
plenty of them, and they more than
surprised everybody that saw them.
The plants had more boles than the
others, were less lengthy as to stalk
and appeared to in every way be a
profitable plant. In fact, to be act
ually correct, the plant was last
year's with a foliage and flower of
this year, showing that the cotton
plant in the Salt River valley may
be made into a perennial instead of
a periodical plant.
After the cotton, came the vine
cropa watermelons, canteloupes,
muskmelons, casabas, squash, cu
cumbers, vegetable marrows, and
pumpkins. This display, especially
the melon portion of the exhibit, was
excellent. Then came the fruits,
peaches, plums, grapes, tomatoes,
raspberries, strawberries, apricots, and
whatnot. These were very attractive,
showing good variety.
Immediately following these came
the onions, potatoes, peas, beans, cow
peas, sweet potatoes, okra, asparagus,
lettuce, cabbage, and such vegetables.
Then came the woman's department,
wtih eggs and cooked fruits and
canned fruits of every description
making a most tasteful display. The
last portion of the stands was given
over to a display, private in nature
from Hall Brothers ranch, showing
sixty-five varieties of garden produce
from one garden, enough to tempt
the appetite of an epicure.
The crowds passed rapidly before
the display all afternoon and far
into the night. After the day's act
ivities closed, watchmen were put on
duty and still the crowds went by.
Growing things attract, but actual
grown produce attracts still more.
The Institute Work
A perfect symposium of addresses
had been prepared for the afternoon
dealing with nearly every proposi
tion that touches a community for
its betterment. Ladies and gentle
men participated in this work. Presi
dent Reed presided and introduced
the speakers. Prof. Lawrence led off
and was followed by Governor Hunt,
the gist of whose remarks are pub
lished below. The other speakers
were Mayor Young, who spoke of the
many advantages the modern farmer
had in electricity that the farmer of
tea and twenty years ago did not
enjoy; Chester B. Culver, who told
of the future of the sugar industry
in this section, especially since sugar
cane growing has become a success

for dairying and seed raising, was

(Special to The Republican)
YUMA, July 10. Kdgar Kd wards is
free and Walter Scott, another Yuma
Indian, is in fear of arrest as a result
of the most remarkable murder trial
ever held before the Yuma, county
court. At 9:30 tonight, the jury, arted
deliberating over fifty hours, returned
a verdict acquitting Edwards of the
crime of shooting a Yuma Indian on
the Colorado river bridge. The vic
tim, dying, made a statement accus
ing Scott, an Indian policeman, with
having committed the crime.
Never before has such a question
of jurisdiction arisen in these parts,
for it was by but a few feet that the
case got into the Yuma county courts.
Had the body been six feet further
toward the California side, it would
have been in Indian reservation ter
ritory, and the Los Angeles United
States attorney would have had to
prosecute the case. As it was, that
short space not only threw the case
into a state court, but made the Ari
zona United States attorney an as
sociate in the defense. Assistant
United States Attorney Wiley 12.
Jones, who was named to assist in the
trial, did not need to take over the
case, as friends of the accused sup
plied him with an attorney. The
United States attorneys merely saw
that the trial was conducted fairly
toward a ward of the government.
It was on May 1 that a group of In
dians were crossing tho drawbridge
across the Colorado. One of them, a
fine, big buck, of well known obstrep
erous tendencies, was being conduct
ed to a place of safe keeping by Wal
ter Scott and two deputies. He had
been a trouble-maker of much disre
pute, and the fact that some of his
neighbors should take a shot at him
didn't Beem to surprise anyone.

WASHINGTON. July 10. Deter
mined to perfect the administration
anti-trust bills by Monday, if possi
ble, the senate judiciary and inter
state commerce committees labored
long today. Tomorrow the members
will keep at it, the senate having
adjourned until Monday.
The interstate commerce committee
succeeded in perfecting the interstate
trade commission bill already before
the senate, adding two important
amendments and determining not to
amend the much questioned section
five, in which unfair competition is
declared unlawful. The amendments
agreed to provide: That no order of
the proposed trade commission for or
against a corporation shall be used
as evidence in any subsequent pros
ecution brought against the corpora
tion under the Sherman law, and
that nothing in the act to create a
trade commission shall be construed
as amending the Sherman law, nor
in any way affecting the provisions
of that act as it now stands on the
statute books.
During tly discussion of the first
amendment some senators thought it
would be well to permit the admis
sion of orders favorable to corpora
tions in case, of subsequent convic
tion, merely for the consideration of
the court in mitigating the sentence.
An effort may yet be made to have
this incorporated in the bill.
The second amendment was sub

cause of widespread claims that the
proposed measure would weaken the

First of Prosecutions
WASHINGTON. July 10. Today'
arrests at San Francisco marked th
beginning of the first criminal prose
cutions under the national defense ac
of March 3, 1911, for disclosure of mil
itary secrets. The war department
heretofore has found it necessary to
warn some publishers who printed
special articles and pictures dealing
with the coast defense system of the
country, but because the element ot
intent to do mischief wai lacking, no
attempt was made to prosecute the of
fenders.
In the present instance, however, de
partment officials pointed out that ffto
publication specifically directed atten
tion to the alleged shortcomings of the
defense system of the Panama canal.
When the magazine reached Washing
ton from the headquarters of the west
ern department Judge Advocate Gen
eral Crowder declared this was a case
warranting prosecution and according
ly the secretary forwarded papers to
the attorney general, who caused the
arrest.
The act provides for a punishment
of $1,000 fine or one year's Imprison
ment for any person, who for the pur
pose of obtaining information respect
ing the national defense to which he is
not lawfully entitled, goes upon any
vessel or government station or fort,
or takes photographs, or sketches
thereof, or who receives same knowing
ihem to have been illegally taken.
Soon after the defensive works were
undertaken In the canal sone. Col.
Goethals issued an order prohibiting
any person from entering these de

without permission.
The fact that the pictures complained
of in the case were taken from an aero
