Tampico Is becoming normal rapidly.
It was reported in official circles
tonight, that the Constitutionalists at

NO PROOF YET.
Ktate department officials awaited
today a reply from the lluerta gov
ernment to the urgent inquiry made by
the Brazilian minister in Mexico City,
at the request of Secretary Bryan, for
Information concerning the where
abouts of Private r.arauel Parks. Span
ish Ambassador Riano today received
a despatch from the lluerta govern
ment promising immediate imestga
tlon. Sir. Bryan said he had received
no proof from the Brazilian embassy
that Parks, who went through the
Mexican line In his uniform, was exe
cuted. But it is known that General
Funston In Vera Cruz has been told
repeatedly that the young private had
been summarily executed and that his
body had been mutilated and de
stroyed. "War department officials say they
ssume Parks met death in the man
ner unofficially reported. Secretary
Bryan declined to make known the
text of the representations made by
him to General lluerta, through the
Brazilian minister other than to say
'that they were "urgent."
The state department has adjusted
the Lobo3 island lighthouse matter by
offering to turn the lighthouse back
to the lluerta keepers if they would
maintain the tight. The appearance
of the Consrtitutionalista from their
jiiearby position at Tuxpam would pro
sent new issues, as t? carrying out the
(offer to restore the "lighthouse to the
:Huerta keepers or turning it over to
the Conetutlonalists if they occupy the
(Island and agree to run the light.

BY ASSOCIATED FRKSS.
Chicago, .May 16. Charles W. filler,
former United States district attorney
for Indiana, who prosecuted the dyna
mite conspiracy case- against a number
of labor leaders in 1912, appeared
again for the government today in the
United States district circuit court of
appeals, when the rehearing on the
granting of nw trials to Olaf A.
Tvottmore. of San Francisco: Richard
If. Houlihan of Chicago, and William
Derr.hardt. Cincinnati, came up for
oral argument.
Originally thirty of the convicted
men filed appeals for new trials. The
United States circuit court of appeals
upheld the conviction of twenty-four
and granted new trials for six. As to
three of the latter Tveitmoe, Houli
han and Bernhardt the renest for a
rehearing wa.s granted.
Tdiller said the oourt property had
held 'that the general coni.ri?i had
ben established and that 24 of the
defendants were directly connected
with the conspiracy to transport dyna
mite and nitro-glycerine upon passen
ger trains. The evidence, he said, must
largely circumstantial, but that
every link in the chain of circum
stances is present "ajid that the ver
dict of tl:e ,1ury is sustained by sub
stantial evidence on every material
point: that a clear prima facie case
was established against Tveitmoe,
Houlihan and Bernhardt."
The government lawyer next took
the cases of the three defendants in
oividuallv. toucnTng on the evidence
brought out in the trial of the case
and argued that the testimony was
trach that the defendants were not
entitled to new trials.
Elijah Zoline. for the defense, re
plied Uat the three men had not been

spiracy at the trial and were entitled
to a new tearing.
