AMEICANS WARNED NOT
TO PAY CANTU CUSTOMS
MEXICALI. Mexio. Aug. 1.-What
was termed in effect an attempt at
creating an embargo on American ex
ports to Lower California. causing
serious business and commercial com
plieations of international scope. ap
peared here today as the outstanding
development o the "break' 'nd
threatened hostilities between the de
facto government of Mexico and the
government of hIstaban Cantu.
Notice was served on American cus
toras brokers and commercial agen
cies by Manual G. Paredes, Mexican
federal government consular agent,
of Calexico. Cal.. that Governor
Cantu "cannot exercise the sor ereign
right to collect Mexican Lovernanent
cuatorns and revenue duties."
Consul Paredes warned Ameritan
exporters that customs and revenue
receipts issued by Cantu agents ar'
invalid and illegal., Payment of su.h
euties to Cantu agents would, in ef
teC.t, mean doub!c paymrn', as the
Mlexican government would cons'der
it, dut ystill unpaid and collectable.
asredes held.
EXPORTERS IN COP'USION.
Following the announcement. there
was confusfon among exporters. who
anught advice of attorneys in the
matter, and theh possibility of th.
Etate Departmert being appealed to
to adust the situation was generally
discussed.
Trade relations between American
enterprises and the Cantu territory
represent tetween $2,000 000 and $3.
000,000 a month gross to the Ameri
can side, it was stated. The northern
district of Lower California depends
Ikfmost entirely upon the United
States-for its entire supplies.
Governor Cantu "broke" officially
and formally with Consul Paredes
and the central government some
days ago.
"I have no desire to hamper Ameri
can business men or the people of
Lower California," Paredes said. "but
it is my duty to protect the interests
of the government of Mexico."
Another phase of the complications
produced by Canttu's "state of war"
is that American banks are hesitat
ing about further financing of the
enor.teus cotton crop in Mexico.
'ARMY" VANISHES.
Detachments of Cantu's army of de
fense, which is mobilizing here to re
sit the reported "invasion" by a fed
eral forc, began moving last night
by motor transports to Ensena a,
West coast port city and pivot poilff
on which the central government In
tends, it was said, to land a force of
7.000 men. Nothing further has been
heard of the expected army.

Marti had a rent in his coat from
which blood was trickling. When the
patrolman called bis'attention to the
wound Marti was astonished. as he
had overlooked It in his excitement.
A bullet had erased his chest. t-r'

the wound was dressed he told the

Marti said Arenas was an attrac

had been more responsive to his own
advances, enough so to arouse the I
jealousy of the dentist.
In this mood. hd said, Miss Jamkson
wished to have no more to do wdth
the dentist and 111] asked Marti to
go with her to his apartment to get
some belongings of hers which
Arenas had. They reached the part
ment, where they found Juan Maids
nado, another Cuban, chatting with
Arenas in the front room. Marti said
the dentist asked Maldanado to' leave,
and Maldanado complied.
Arenas then excysed himself for A
moment, saying the Articles Miss
Jackson sought were in the next
room. When he returned he had a
revolver in his hand and began to
shoot as soon as he got into the room.
Miss Jackson arose from a chair.

said he thought she was dead and
covered her with a rug.
CARRIES WOMAN TO TAXI.
Arenas continued firing, and Marti
leaped out a front window. He ob
tained a taxi and then, he said, he
heard three more revolver shots. He
returned to the house, went into the
room. picket] up Miss Jackson. and
carried her out. He told the driver to

He conducted Marti back to the
scene o+ the tragedy, where the body
of the dead dentist was shown him.

not have killed himself.
NEIGHBOR HEARS SHOTS.
Mrs. Emily Silver, the landlady at
the apartment house. said Dr. Arenas
had been in her house only a week
and that she knew nothing about him
except that he appeared quiet and of
good habits and caused her no trou
ble.
Mrs. Emily Silver said that
shartly after 6 o'clock she heard the
sounds of a scuffle and several heavy
thuds directly above her head in th.
room of Dr. Arenas. She started to go
upstairs to see what the ruction w.ta
when she was startled to see a pair
of legs hanging down in front of her
window, which faces the street.
The legs were of Marti. Wh'e
she watched he dropped to the -round

Miss Jackson half walked, half stum

into Marti's arms.

.etective groped all day through
a maae of whiskey. women, and taxi
riders in an effort to clear up the
mystery.
Chief of Poliee tGarrity has cn
eluded that L.oftis came to his death
"after some kind of a combat."
Neilda Johbeo. huseekeeper for
Lefts Ia hi luaxrioms bachelor
ebambers. said that fifty different
gira had slatted the apartement sie
January. Theme were smity from the
cabarets. beache. hetel Ienglwag
reams. and beuawords.
In the mea.utime the mystery of the
eragedy that stalked into the splendid
bachelor quarters e'till clings like the
tunecs of spilt wine.
hiere is Miss Woods' first story:
'Mr. Loftin called me up yesterday
afternoon and asked me to come to
his apartment. He hinted he was
going to set Mr. Shayne up in bust
e -s and wanted to talk fnatters over
with me firm. You see. Mr. Shayne
and I were to he married I had met
Loftis two weeks before through Mr.
Shayne.
INt IThll) HiER TO DRINK.
"When I arrived at the apartment.
Mr. Loftia had been drinking. He
invited me to have a drink, which I
did. He then became boisterots. Sev
eral times he tried to make love to
(ne. t managed to quiet him for a
ome by tal.king to him. Finally he
became unruly, and several times I
hatd to resist his attempts. Some fur.
niture was knocked over in these
friendly' scuffles.
"I soon saw I would have to call
Mr. Shayne. I rushed to the telephone
and told him to eonme right over."
Here Shayne took up the story.
'I arrived at the apartament. and
when I maw Loftia. he was attired In
pajamaa. Jamping about In a mad
dance. tHe was laughing lewdly. He
called to me to loin his party. may
tage .C'one on We ma. we are bhv
Ilg a h- of a time.' Then he slipped
on a rug. His head struek a door
knob. His eek was twisted. He lay
an the floor perfeetir still. I tried
to revive him with whiskey and
water. Thea I called a physit-iaa."
Misst 'oods later changed her story
thus:
"We were having a playful strug
gin and my attention was momen
tarily distracted from him. The next
instant I was startled by the sound
of his falling body. I realized some.
thing terrible had happened. I called
Mr. Shayne. On his arrival he called
a physician."
After examining the body. the phy
sicians found that Miss Woods had
disappeared. She explained that by
saying:
"While the physicians were there
I was bewildered and walked from
the room. On reaching the street I
called a taxi. When 1 got in the
taxi the chauffeur drove me to the
South Side. He introduced me to a
man he said was his brother. We
drove around for a while and then
this man robbed me.
"He took $30 and then tried to
attack me."
I)RIVER'S STORY DIFFERENT.
The driver told a different narra
tive. He said:
"I was called to the Loftis home
about R o'clock. The man who called
me said he wanted me to get a
woman. As my taxi was nearing the
Leoftis home a druggist ran into the
r"''i" of the street And called my
attention to Miss Woods. who was
bo.. e. ang on the sidewalk.
"'Miss Weods got into my machine
and cried: 'Dirive, drive; don't care
where you drive.'
'"Then she. dlirec'ted me to drive to
the West side. Oin the way she had
me stop a number of tImes so she
c'ould get a drink. I had no idea
what had happened at the Loftis
home. When . we reached Garfield
park she stopped me and called a
man. She talked to him a few min
utes and took< him into the cab with
her. They told me to drive 'co a
house at Kedzie aveniue and .laeckrorn
boulevard. They went i~n and stayed
ane hour aid a half.
"Then they camie out and et Into
the cab together. They told me to
drive anywvhere. l~ater they got ito
an argument and the man got otut.
Then she Intel me the man had robbed
her and told me to dribe her home.
which I did."
Pollicemen had preceded the girl to
hee' home. They enealed themselves
there and saw her c'ome in.
Aceording toe the' story she told.
she rusheed in and exclaimed to her
mother:
"Oh. Mlamma, here are some things
I brought home. Keep them and I
will tell yotu about them tomorrow."
Then she handed her mother, the
police say. a man's ring set with tweo
diamonds and a ruby, a watch. A
chain and a knife. These were later
identified as belonging to Loftis.
