JOHN LIND OFF.'
FOR MEXICO CITY
ON WAR VESSEL
President Wilson Calmly
Proceeds in Course Despite
Rebuff—Scouts Idea
of Intervention
"BACK TALK" MAKES
HUERTA POPULAR
Leading Men of Southern
Capital Offer Support—
Some Are Doubtful
patches describing the attitude of the
Huerta government against Lind, there
is hope among other administration
officials that upon mature reflection no
such intimations will be conveyed for
mally to the Washington authorities.
The president is known to hold the
opinion that the Huerta administra
tion would make a vital mistake to re
fuse at this stage of the situation to
receive an envoy from the chief execu
tive of the United States, even though
the emissary lacked diplomatic status.
Mr. Lind. it was pointed out, purpose
ly was sent without credentials so that
he might deal freely with persons of
all factions in Mexico who might in
quire as to the views of the Washing
ton administration.
\ VNOI NCEMENT AWAITED
it is expected that an announcement
of the purposes of the Washington
government in sending Mr. Lind to
Mexico will be made on his arrival
in the Mexican capital.
It is known that Mr. Lind is in
structed ta convey the earnest wishes
of the United States government for
a restoration of peace in Mexico and
that he will make his representations
largely through the charge d'affaires of
the American embassy.
Washington officials would be pleased,
nevertheless, if he had the opportunity
to talk with President Huerta and out
line in person the friendly aims of
the American government toward
Mexico.
Should the efforts of the United
States be balked by open remonstrance
against Mr. Lind's visit, various sug
gestions for procedure came from off
icials, but none of them reflected any
definite plan.
REBELS WOULD BE RECOGNIZED
Tt was pointed out that if the Huerta
government refused to deal with a
representative of the president of the
United States or turned a deaf ear to
h:s representations, recognition of the
belligerency of the constitutionalists
should follow as a natural consequence.
The thing that hitherto has blocked
any movement for recognition of the
constitutionalists has been the realiza
tion that the American government by
such action would forfeit its right to
claims for damages against the Huerta
administration.
With open diplomatic hostility, how
ever, between the Huerta government
and the United States, it is recognized
that there might be little opportunity
to enforce claims and many members
of the senate are confident that the
constitutionalists could be depended
upon to reimburse the American gov
ernment eventually, as they believe by
iifting the embargo on arms, the con
stitutionalist cause soon would triumph.
President Wilson and Secretary
Bryan let it be known tonight that
nothing further would be done until
Mr. Lind reached Mexico City and of
ficial confirmation of the reported at
titude of the Huerta government
reached here.
Lind Sails for Vera Cruz
GALVESTON. Texas, Aug. 7.—The
United States battleship New Hamp
shire, bearing John TJnd to Mexico as
the personal representative of President
Wilson, sailed en route to Vera Cruz at
11:15 o'clock this morning. The war
ship is due at Vera Cruz tomorrow
night.
SAUCY TALK MAKES
HUERTA POPULAR
MEXICO CITY, Aug. 7.—President
Huerta's prestige among Mexicans in
the capital undoubtedly has been
strengthened by what is regarded as
his defiance of the United States.
Even those who had been lukewarm
in their support of the administration
profess admiration for the soldier
president who dared to talk back to
Washington, although not all of them
agree as to the wisdom of his course
and many of them consider that he
acted precipitately in view of the of
ficially defined intentions of Washing
ton.
Just what course .President Huerta
will take in the event that John Lind,
President Wilson's personal represen
tative, continues his trip to Mexico City
is a matter for speculation. No official
declaration has been made as yet as to
what this course will be.
It is assumed that Mr. Lind might
enter the republic at Vera Cruz and
tome to the capital without molesta
tion, since the question of his creden
tials could not be expected to be an
swered until his arrival here: but
whether he shall be expelled or merely
ignored remains undetermined.
Keen Interest is being evinced as to
what the attitude of Washington will
be in the face of President Huerta's
defiance.
Speculation is divided as to whether
Mr. Lind will be recalled or permitted
to continue as far as he can, and thus
force the issue upon President Huerta.
Mexicans generally of the conserva-
appear to nelieve that Huerta
will not drive Mr. Lind from the coun
try, but will be content with ignoring
him, except, perhaps, for subjecting him
lo surveillance in order to see that he
does nothing that possibly could be con
strued as mixing in the politics of the
country.
Unless a radical change is effected
m the sentiment at the palace Mr. Lind
will not receive an opportunity to talk
with President Huerta, even though he
is permitted to remain in ihe capital;
nor will he be any more successful in
meeting any official of the government.
According to a consular dispatch
from Torreon, state of Coahuila, sent
by courier to Aquas Calientes and tel
agraphed here today, there has been a
10 days' battle between government
forces and rebels in which the rebels
were repulsed with great loss. The
dispatch adds that a further attack by
the rebels is expected, despite their
defeat.

GIRLS, VICTIMS IN RENO
SCANDAL, TESTIFY TODAY
Miss Warrington and Miss Norris to Take Stand for Government
In Diggs Case; Conductor and Agent Tell of
Quartet's Trip to Nevada Metropolis
will suffice for its witnesses. In that
event Diggs' future will be with the
jury next Thursday. The federal court
does not sit in jury cases Saturdays or
Mondays.
Those who testified yesterday were:
George D. Leslie, Sacramento, statis
tician in the office of the state board
of health.
J. H. Stevens, Sacramento, vice presi
dent of the Sutter National bank.
R. J. Simen, "Sacramento, Southern
Pacific ticket agent.
M. L Jones, Sacramento, Southern
Pacific passenger conductor.
K. J. Peck, Reno, real estate agent.
Leslie identified Diggs' handwriting
dii a marriage certificate copy of the
original obtained by Diggs when he
married seven years ago.
HRS. C AMINETTI WITH HUSBAND
Several bunches of checks written by
Diggs were identified by Stevens, as
tvas the identification card which Diggs
made his signature upon when he be
came a depositor at the bank. Stevens
identified also as having been written
by Diggs the letter to Miss Warring
ton after the denouement of their Reno
?lopement warning her to say that all
of their relations had been proper.
Simen sold Diggs the tickets for the
party of four which went from Sacra
mento to Reno.
Jones is the trainman who took the
tickets from the Pullman porter on the
"China Mall" at 12:45 o'clock a. m.
March 10, when the party went to
Reno.
Clad in smart tailored garments. Mrs.
Drew Caminetti, who has become re
conciled to her husband since the Reno
affair, was in the corridor leading to
the courtroom for a few minutes be
fore court convened, chatting with her
husband, but did not enter. Mrs. Diggs
did not attend.
The Warrington girl and the Norris
girl were not at the postofflce build
ing. Mrs. W. H. Campbell, vice presi
dent of the Oceanside Improvement
club, and Mrs. Mary Sullivan, a .mem
ber, were among the five women who
sat through. Mrs. Campbell said she
was there "in the interest of our girls."
Jl RY NOT LOCKED VP
Seats were in demand again. The
corridor remained full of curious men
until adjournment.
After the session the jurors mingled
with the audience as they passed <MU
to the street. Armed with the confi
dence the United States district court
bestows upon its jurors, the men will
not be locked up or under surveillance.
Judge Van Fleet warned them in de
tail to be careful to hold themselves
"free from any possible suspicion of
veniallty." He spoke of the "accidental
circumstances" which have given the
rases great publicity. He said the case
itself is not an unusual one.
The resignation of John L. McNab,
United States attorney, and the com
bination rebuke and approval of At
torney General Mcßeynolds by Presi
dent Wilson resulting from the order
to halt the prosecution are the "acci
dental circumstances" referred to 4>y
the trial judge.
After Sullivan gave the opening
statement to the jury, Roche examined
all of the government witnesses. Devlin
was on the firing line at the other
table.
Every peremptory challenge had been
used before the jury was selected. The
state put six men out and the defense
dropped 10 talesmen.
SULLIVAN OUTLINES CASE
Sullivan retired Marshall C. Harris,
1401 Willard street, president of the
American Dredging company, and Au
gust Wiesmann, 2748 Howard street,
who formerly operated a saloon at
Seventh and Mission streets. A tedious
delay of half an hour resulted because
Wiesmann's name had been misspelled
on the special venire. The govern
ment said Wiesmann was not on the
assessment roll.
Court recessed while Horace L.
Crocker, deputy in the auditor's office,
was summoned with the new roll. Wies
mann's name was there, so the chal
lenge was invoked.
Those challenged by the defense were
William Adams, 1319 Cole street;
Charles Adams of Alameda, an insur
ance agent, and Asa L. White, 604
East Seventeenth street, Oakland, a
lumber merchant.
Clerk of the Court Krull swore the
Jury and started to read the bulky in
dictment, but was relieved by Judge
Van Fleet, who left out all of the repe
titions in the document and charged
the jury before the noon recess.
What the government expects to
prove was told the jury in plain
language by Sullivan.
"We shall prove that the story
Diggs told the girls about the scandal
resulting from their acquaintance with
the two men is false," Sullivan said.
"That there was no warrant to be
Issued for the arrest of the girls if
they did not leave Sacramento. That
they were not to be prosecuted by
the juvenile court. That no newspaper
in Sacramento intended to publish any
thing concerning the relations of the
four. That no threats had been made
by any one against the girls and that
these stories told by Diggs intimidated

and frightened the girls into fleeing
to Reno."'
REFERS TO CONSPIRACY INCIDENT
A preliminary of the conspiracy trial
'to follow against Charles H. Harris,
a Sacramento lawyer, was referred to
when Sullivan said the state will, put
Nellie Parton on the stand to prove
the girl went to Harris' office and was
instructed by Diggs and Harris to see
her close friend. Miss Warrington, and
tell her to tell the world that the
relations of the two men and two girls
always had been proper, that the girls
had slept in one room and the men
in another and that the girls had
bought the tickets that took them to
Reno.
The age of the Warrington girl is
20 years and that of the Norris girl
19 years, while Diggs is 28 years old
and Caminetti is 27. Sullivan told the
jury. He related the couples had been
good friends for five months and often
were seen together previous to the
elopement to Reno.
"Almost daily for two weeks before
March 10, Diggs told the girls that
there was scandal out about them, that
he was trying to suppress the publica
tion of a story every day and finally
that he had hired a lawyer to halt
the publication," said Sullivan. "He
told them it was necessary for them
to leave the state or Diggs' father, I.
P. Diggs of Berkeley, intended to come
to Sacramento and prosecute the girls.
MAKE TRIP IN DER PROTEST
"They finally consented to go March
8. although both girls fought against
it. Diggs was to meet Marsha War
rington at a certain place the next
day. In the meantime the girls had
decided to stay In Sacramento and
face the outcome. Sunday they met
in a restaurant and both girls pro
tested repeatedly.
"Lola Norris pleaded that it would
kill her mother if she left the state.
Diggs insisted that a warrant, for the
arrest of the two girls would be issued
and served the following day if they
remained in Sacramento. Diggs said
he had had trouble with his wife and
would go to Reno and get a divorce
and then marry Marsha Warrington.
Caminetti said he had quarreled with
his wife and would also get a divorce
in Reno and marry the Norris girl
afterward.
After the girls met the men in the
evening of the day they took the train
Lola Norris again pleaded to be re
leased, sobbing that it would kill her
mother. Caminetti departed to go up
town to get some expense money and
Diggs bought four tickets.
SLEEPER BERTH FOR EACH COl PLE
"Diggs engaged a drawing room in
the Pullman. While the porter was
making up the berths the four re
mained outside. Diggs and Marsha
Warrington occupied the lower berth
and Caminetti and Lola Norris the up
per berth.
"At the hotel in Reno the two couples
registered. Diggs signed 'C. F. En
right a*d wife of Los Angeles,' and
Caminetti signed 'F. F. Ross and wife
of Los Angeles.' That night the four
had two adjoining rooms. Diggs and
Marsha Warrington occupied one room
and Caminetti and the other girl the
other room. They remained in the
hotel all night.
•The next day Diggs rented a
bungalow. He introduced Marsha War
rington to the real estate agent as his
wife. He paid a month's rent down
and said he intended living tiuere some
time. He told the clerk he would be
there for six months.
"There are four rooms in the bunga
low. Diggs and. Miss Warrington occu
pied the front bedroom and the other
couple the rear bedroom. They re
mained there three nights as husband
and wife.
BI'NGALOW FOLK DISHABILLE
"On the fourth day the Reno chief
of police called and after repeated
knocklngs roused Diggs, who came to
the back door in his night clothes and
barefooted. Caminetti was undressed.
The girls were in the bathroom.
"The officer told them all to get
dressed and go with him. Diggs and
Marsha Warrington proceeded to the
front room and Caminetti and Miss
Norris to the rear room, where they
dressed. There Diggs said to the War
rington girl, 'It is up to you, girls,
whether we go to the penitentiary.'
"We shall prove further that shortly
afterward Diggs. from Berkeley, wrote
a letter to Marsha Warrington, dis
guising his handwriting, telling her to
remember 'to wrack iter memory,' to
remember what lie had told her—to
say their relations had been proper.
He used the expression, 'the clouds will
soon pass by,' and in endearing terms
pleaded with her! not to divulge their
relations.
"We shall prove that Nellie Parton
received a telephone call in Sacramento
from Maury I. Diggs asking, her to go
to the office of Charles H. Harris.
There she met Diggs and Harris. She
was told to see Marsha Warrington and
tell har to say that all her relations
with Diggs were proper. Miss Parton
called on Marsha, but the girl was
through with Diggs."
Over the introduction of the mar
riage certificate and official record op
, posing counsel had a brisk tiff, which
was settled by Judge Van Fleet's over
ruling the objection of Devlin. The
judge said the fact that a man at bar
on trial under the Mann act is married
or single makes no difference, but
maintained it was admissible to show
question of motive for going from one
state to another.
The defense had gained a reputation
for "reserve an exception." Yesterday
Judge Van Fleet put across a sharp
sentence that was good comedy relief
when Devlin objected to one of the
questions.
Roche asked Conductor Lane: "Has
the Southern Pacific a line ln California
through Sacramento extending to
Sparks, Nev." That is the run Lane
makes.
"Objection," announced Devlin.
"Do you object to the Southern Pa
cific's having a line?" said Judge Van
Fleet before Devlin could complete the
sentence.
Devlin laughed and did not press the
point further.
AUTO BANDITS OF LOS
ANGELES ADD TWO TO LIST
Police Redouble Efforts to Apprehend
Trio With a Long Record
of Robberies
LOS ANGELES. Aug. 7.—Tlie police
redoubled their efforts today to appre
hend a trio of automobile bandits when
it became known that two more hold
ups were added last night to the long
list of robberies perpetrated.
When J. E. Miller and H. G. Watkins
and their wives stepped from a Re
dondo Beach car late last night the
bandits' automobile came to a stop be
side them.
Miller and Watkins were robbed of
$40. Later the highwaymen attempted
to stop an automobile, but the operator
put on full speed and escaped.
Besides a dozen or more highway
robberies, the robbers are held respon
sible for the shooting of W. H. Hackett
several weeks ago when the latter at
tempted to resist' them.
YOUNG MATRON IS PAID
$2,500 FOR ENFORCED RIDE
LOS ANGELES. Aug. 7.—As the re
sult of an enforced ride taken in a
delivery wagon belonging to him last
September. Mrs. Annia Riffle, a young
matron, was awarded judgment for
$2,500 against Arthur Letts, one of the
city's wealthiest merchants here, to
day.
Mrs. Riffle proved that subsequent to
an argument over a c. o. d. delivery
from the Letts store she was beaten
by W. H. Wlthrow, a driver for Letts,
and locked in the delivery wagon for
more than an hour while Withrow
drove her about the city.
She sued for $25,000.

SEATTLE TO ASK
FOR LOWER RATES
Manager of Transportation
Bureau of Chamber to
Confer With Sproule
(Special Dispatch to The Cain
SEATTLE, Aug. 7.—Acting on In
struction of the executive committee of
the transportation bureau of the new
Chamber of Commerce, W. A. Mears,
manager of that bureau, will leave for
San Francisco early next week to con
fer with President William Sproule of
the Southern Pacific in regard to that
railroad's alleged attitude of discrim
ination against Seattle.
It. Is the belief of the chamber that
the Southern Pacific is making a de
liberate attempt to divert tourist travel
from this city by fixing an almost pro
hibitive arbitrary charge on tourist
tickets through California and the Pa
cific northwest ef divers routings.
The Southern Pacific this year has
raised its arbitrary charge on tourist
tickets through California and the
northwest to $17.50. Heretofore it has
been $15, and that rate was' considered
too high, from the Pacific northwest's
viewpoint.
In 1908, for instance, the extra charge
on such tickets hy this railroad was
only $13.50.
Sproule probably will be asked that
the rate be reduced to that figure.

SACRAMENTO. Aug. 7.—lntense h,eat
prevailed over the Sacramento and
San Joaquin valleys today. Tn many
places temperature records, which have
stood for years were broken.
Tn Sacramento the thermometer
reached 108, two degrees higher than

servations are taken. The temperature
has only been equaled twice in 3*5
