Evacuation, of Guaymas by. the Mex
) lean federal forces was begun yester
day with the arrival of the steamer
Benito Juarez, acordlng to reports
made to Bear Admiral Howard. The
first step preliminary to the general
exodus of federals, began with, the
f embarking of horses and cattle.
Washington, July 15 With Huer
j ta's family and several close friends
in flight today from Mexico City, the
I 'resignation, of the dictator was ex
pected to take place at any time by
the state department and members of
the diplomatic corps In "Washington.
Despatches from Mexico City stated
that Huerta and his minister of war.
General Blanquet might follow, their
famlllea from the capital to vera Crui
some time today.
In some quarters, however, the
view was expressed that Huerta might
hold out longer and that the depar
ture of his relatives only meant that
he was preparing to make a final des
perate stand against the advancing
constitutionalists.
Nevertheless, diplomats in "Wash
ington Hrected their efforts, toward
averting fighting la the federal cap
ital and arranging "some means of
transferring power to the constitu
tionalists without farther loss of life.
Carranza's forces continued pre
parations to press their campaign
against Mexico -City. Villa's army,
gathered in Chihuahua, was ready for
the movement southward while Gen
eral Obregon's forces flushed with
their victory at Guadalajara soon
would be In shape it was paid to re
sume their campaign,, ' That the con.
s i u ti o n allst a would be - in Mexico
City within' a few weeks regardless
c f the action of the Huerta govern
ment, was belief expressed by some
officials today. - .'"''
No word of the movements or in
tentions or General Huerta was con
tained In, the early official despatches
today. , The only official communi
cation from Mexico City was a mes
sage from the Brazilian legation
there the contents of which had evi
dently been censored until nothing
but a mere 'list of routine, formal an
nouncements was made. ' V .

$ Denver, July 16. Henry H. Jennings
of1 Hartford,- formerly of Bridgeport,
failed .of election to the statist! of
grand esteemed leading knight yes
$erd fry at the annual election of offi
cers of the order. There was a three-
cornered contest for the. chair,' the
candidates, besides Jennings, being L.
R. Maxwell of Iowa and tP. H. Shields
of Virginia, who "was a candidate for
re-election. . tMr. Jennings had been
urged to become a candidate by many
of his friends throughout:" the ELst
and he felt confident of tihe outcome
before leaving for the West. -,-
lHa candidacy, was handicapped by
reason of the fact that ...New England
waa practically a unit .in support, of
the candidacy of Thomas EL . Donahue
of New 'London for the position of in
ner" guard.. Mr.- Donahue was a can
didate, tfor.that office at Rochester and
made a wonderful run and it was a
f sregone conclusion tffiat : he , would
win out this year. ' .. Many of those
who stood l by Mr. Jennings a year
ago declined to 'advance his ambition
this - year because they knew - that
New England would ndt he allowed
more than one place in the official
family . and- they felt .--that the New
London candidate was entitled to .the
preference. .
There is a growing disposition In
the grand lodge to . pass the honors
around and It is not likely that re
elections will toe the rule iri the fiitoure
save for the offices of secretary, and
treasurer, where it is deemed ibest not
to change the officials too frequently. -
The new head, of the order is Ray
mond Benjamin of - Napa. Oal., one of
the most distinguished Jurists of the
west and; famous 'as the lawyer who
drew, the anti-Japanese exclusion: bill
which is now the law of California,
The, election of Mr. Benjamin was by
acclamation. OB. M. Ddckerson of Tuc
son was elected grand loyaU. night, the
position held last year 'by Mr. Jen
nings, and the lower chair, that of
grand lecturing knight, was filled by
the selection of W. F. iSchad of Mil
waukee. " '.'--. ,
Freddie Robinson of t Dubuque,'. Ia.,
and Charles A, "White of Chicago
were re-elected secretary arid treas
urer respectively. Calvin Kingsley of
"Waterloo, Ia, was elected grand trus
tee for a term a five years." B. F.
Kope of Ptoeblo was elected grand
tyler. , .
Ix)s Angeles " was selected as the
place ,for holding the next grand lodge
reunion. This was unexpected,' as the
belief was general that Seattle would
secure the honor. Jlfe
x-ne Connecticut delegation report
themselves as delighted ' with the ar
rangements ' for -visiting EJlks by., the
Denver antlers. . Numerous side trips
are being enjoyed by the women while
the grand lodge is in session. .
Today the grand , lodge entered "upon
the discussion- of importent legisla
tion. . '
One of the most radical innovations
the grand lodge has been asked to con
sider is that- of adding yocal music
to the ritual of the order. ,
The.. Minneapolis Glee club-, a subor
dinate lodge organization, is sponsor
for the innovation For an hour yes
terday, . in the heat of the election
contests, the grand lodge, deviated
from its program and listened to a
song accompaniment to the ritual pre
Psented by the Minneapolis singers.
For . the subordinate lodge members,
the competition of drill teams of San

a kimono 'but has insisted that she
was in her bedroom.
Dr. Carman, "who is here, said 'to

apparently a disguised handwriting ;
and looked as if It might have been
'penned by a woman. It was not tak
en seriously. .7- ;

Mrs, Carman had on a kimono when
she saw her run Into the kitchen con- !
trad lets -the account of 1 Elwood 1
Bardes, heretofore the chief witness
for the state. . Bardes said iihat the I
woman he saw had on a white waist.
Because of this clash of testimony,
Bardes, It was said, might not be
called before the grand Jury
The last witness before ' the jury
was Frank J. Farrell, a tramp, who

the account given yesterday by Celia
Coleman. " . .
Mrs. Carman was not called. Her
counse lhad agreed to waive immu
nity for her, but in the opinion of the
district attorney It was inexpedient to
have her testify.

HEW WITNESS
MAY RELEASE"
HELEN ANGLE
Patrick Rabbitt Tells Story
Which Would Free Wom
an From Suspicion
New evidence found In the mystery
concerning the death of Waldo, R.
Ballou, which may throw an entirely
different aspect "upon the affair and
possibly result in the release' of Mrs.
Helen M.- Angle, was presented to
Coroner John J. .Phelan this" morn
ing. The affidavits were brought 'to
this city, in person by Leonard Blon-
dell, father of Mrs. Angle and her
personal counsel, H. Stanley Finch,
of Stamford, who unearthed the new
witness in the case.
So important is the evidence now
considered that Coroner -Phelan at
once decided to hold a special In
quiry and examine Fatriok Rabbitt,
a resident of the Rippowam ' apart
ments in front of which the body of
Ballou - was found on" the night of
June 23 ' t : . '
He took the 12:51 train for Stam
ford where the hearing ts now in ses
sion. . - ' ." y -
From .the. affidavits of Rabbitt and
Attorney Finch, it appears that the
Rippowam apartments - was in real
ity two separate" buildings of two stor
ies each, to which, extra .floors were
added under agreement of the own
ers. The entrance flight of steps to
the second floor is in one building
with a fire-wall between . and. - the
flight of steps leading from the sec
ond floor te Mrs. Angle's apartment
upon the third floor is in the other
building, an archway" . being - cut
through, the wall to permit of a land
ing. . ...
According to Rabbit's statement, he
was in a room adjoining the stair
case upon which Ballou was first said
to have fallen and where Mrs. Angle
in her orierinal statements claimed to
have found him in the dark. -
As Rabbitt returned about . 10 1
o'clock on the night In question - by
another entrance, he distinctly heard
sound, resembling a body , falling
against his wall. His statement is of
most valuable to Mrs. Angle. If
found correct, it will show that it was
impossible 4 for murder to have been
committed in her apartment. i
Tax Collector
Gorham Is Sued
By New Fairfield
As a result of an alleged shortago
in town funds, three suits for aggre
gate damages of $13,000 have been
brought against Tax Collector Charlei
Gorham -by the town of New Fair
field. Papers In the suits were filed
today in the superior court. Isaac
Knapp and Henry Backer, who-were
bondsmen for Gorham, are named as
co-defendants. Fifteen , pieces of
property owned by Gorham have been
attached. ' .
The town claims '. that before June
1910 the collector wrongfully ap
propriated to his own use, $5,000.
which had been-paid in taxes. In
1911, he is alleged to have taken $4,-
000 and in 1912 the same amount.
Separate suits are brought to covet
the alleged shortage in each of these
three years. Gorham says there, is
some mistake. He denies any wrong
doing. '
The suits are returnable to the
geptemhu: q court.
daily and is directing the lawyers
who are trying to free her. ' It is now
over two weeks since Mrs. s Bailey was
shot .-to- death in Dr. Carman's offl.es
at Freeport, Jf. T., and the only ar
rest made la that of Mirs.? Carman,
who' had admitted that she had spied

STREET RAILROAD
EMPLOYES TO STICK
BY OLD AGREEMENT
, ' Philadelphia, July ' 15 Announce
ment was made today that the vote
cast yesterday by the motor-men and
conductors of the Philadelphia Rapid
Transit company resulted in the men
deciding 3,406 to 2,801 to continue for
another year the present co-operative
plan iby which the men deal as in
dividuals with the company rather
than through a labor organization.
A'bout 6,5 00 men are involved.
The co-operative plan, in' force here
since 1911, is said to be the only one
of its kind in the country. The com
pany sets aside 22 per cent, of the
gross passenger receipts into a fund
from which wages are paid. The wages
of the men have ibeen increased since
the strike of 1910 from a maximum
of 23 cents an hour to a maximum of
30 cents for men In the service five
years. The -minimum wage for new
men is 25 cents an hour.
A feature of the plan is the election
by the men of co-operative committee
men, who are expected to look after
the. interests of the motormen and
conductors.
The Amalgamated Association of
Street. & Electric Railway Employes is
opposed to the co-operative plan, tak
ing the ground that the men can deal
more advantageously with thecomr
pany through an organization.

ABANDONED SAFE IS
FOUND UNOPENED I I
WOODS OF FAIRFIELD
Hidden away In an old deserted shed
in a sparsely settled t section of Fair
field's Tunxis Hill district, an aban
doned safe, apparently taken there to
be forced open, was discovered by ac
cident Sunday and has given rise to
police suspicion that one of the head
quarters 'pf the gang of "yeggs" that
has been operating in Bridgeport and
vicinity with success has been discov
ered. This afternoon an investiga
tion is to be made of the premises
by Police Superintendent Birmingham,
Detective Captain Arnold and several
detectives from headquarters. Atten
tion will also be p.aid to a deserted
house near the shed and the police
belief is that there may be disclosures
of much importance.
A man living in the Tunxis Hill dis
trict, according to Superintendent Bir
mingham, discovered the safe, Sunday,
while taking a ramble through the
woods with his son. The house and
shed are reported as being in a sparse
ly settled neighborhood, hidden from
observation by bushes, underhrush
and being off the general paths of
travel. The shed is reported as be
ing across a small stream and nearly
opposite the pumping station at Samp
