11 DENIES CABRERA CR1TICISJ OF D. S. No Authority for Story of Dis pleasure at Way Government Handles Villa Campaign. ISSUED BY SUBORDINATE Washington, Oct. 30. What prom ised to be a new source of serious friction between the United States and the de facto government of Mexico apparently was cleared away tonight through formal repudiation by Eliseo Arredomio, Mexican ambassa dor designate of a statement issued here yesterday under the name of Luis Cabrera, assailing the American government for permitting aid to reach Villa and other bandits from its side of the border. Mr. Arredondo will go to the State department tomorrow with the ex planation that the statement was put out by an employe of the Mexican News Bureau, the de facto govern ment's semi-official publicity agency, without the knowledge or consent of either the embassy -or Mr. Cabrera. Department officials said tonight this would be regarded as closing the in cident I Other Denials Ready. fr krreAnnAn asva am niMa1 in. structions from his government he will deny also the authenticity of what it is understood will purport to be quotations from General Carranza, General Obregon, the Mexican war minister, and General Pablo Gonzales, commander of the forces in Mexico City, reflecting strong anti-American sentiments, which are expected to ap pear tomorrow in an American weekly magazine. Information reaching the embassy recently concerning the of messages with Mexico City, and brought the ambassador's authority to repudiate them in advance. Until word of Mr. Arredondo's action and of Mr. Cabrera's repudia tion at New York came to them to night, the heads of the State1 depart ment had taken a most serious view of the statement attributed to Cab rera, who besides being Carranza's minister of finance, is chairman of the Mexican group of the joint com mission now sitting at Atlantic City, N. J. - Question of Veracity. How the statement orgirrixted has been the subject of much speculation and apparently has narrowed! down to a question of veracity between Mr. Cabrera and the members of the news bureau staff who gave it to the press. But the bureau, set up some time ago, with G. F. Weeks, formerly a press censor for the Carranza gov ernment at Mexico City, at its head, has been regarded as the semi-official mouthpiece of the embassy. The em ploye who issued yesterday's state ment was George F. Edmunds, pub licity representative of the embassy until the bureau was organized.1 Ed munds asserts that the statement was dictated to him at Atlantic City by Cabrera, who authorized him to make it public. Weeks tonight telegraphed Cabrera disclaiming responsibility for the action, . . is. .. The appearance of the statement created consternation at the embassy. Mr. Arredondo promptly had a con ference with Mr. Cabrera over the long distance telephone. Later he explained that the bureau had pre pared and issued without authority the'statement as a result of remarks made by Cabrera Friday to a rep resentative of the-bureau. He said Cabrera made no unpleasant refer ences to the American government and moreover was not expecting his remarks to be quoted. "Wewere speaking" said the am bassador, "about the situation in gen eral and especially in Chihuahua, as to how Villa had been able to cause such alarm. Mr. Cabrera said, not, for publication and without expecta tion that his remarks would be used: "'The American governnWnt could help us by increasing its vigilance to prevent ammunition from getting into the hands of Villa and by expelling from the United States a great num ber of Mexican rugees who are very .well known as enemies of the de facto government in Mexico. "This the American government could do strictly within the province of American neutrality laws. Frank Hitchcock Claims Election of v Hughes by Eighty Chicago, Oct 30. Frank H.

CASTRO CASE IS INVOLVED Just as Mr. and Mrs. Sam Sherazzo were about to enter their home at 2013 Pierce street last night, return ing frpm a theater with Joe Vendura, two men stepped from the protecting shadow of a nearby house and with automatic pistols opened fire. Not a word did they utter. When they ?aw Mrs. Sherazzo and her husband all, each a victim of the deadly fusil lade, they fled. They did not offer to molest Vendura. At St. Joseph's hospital, both Sherazzo and his wife at first main tained stoutly that they did not rec ognize their assailants. Vendura, who stood within a few feet of the flame-spitting pistols, gave an ac curate description of the two Italians, which might have fitted hundreds of Italian laborers anywhere. Search Starts at Once. Everywhere the detectives went in search of clues leading to the un ravelling of the mysterious attempted assassination they met with stolid silence. Finally when Police Surgeon Myers told the Sherazzos they would prob able die, Sherazzo and his wife told Policeman Frank Damato that Camilo La Bianco, 2029 South Twentieth street and Sam Trapini, fired the shots. Vendura, who knows both men well, still maintained that he failed to recognize them. La Bianco and Trapini, who were arrested at midnight with Andrea Trapini, father of Sam Trapini, said they had an alibi. Police declare that the attempted assassination of the Sharazzos Is a development of the alleged forced marriage last week of 13-year-old Christina Trapini to Rosario Castro, aged 23. The Trapinis occupy the second floor of the Sherazzo home. Castro and Vendura roomed together in the Sherazzo part of the house, and Cas tro became familiar with the 13-year-old daughter of Andrea Trapini. Last Sunday they eloped to Council Bluffs. When they were brought back to Omaha, the g'.rl's parents demanded that Castro marry the girl. This was done last week, Justice Britt per forming the ceremony. Police say that from private sources they learn that the Sherazzos have been the object of Italian ha tred since the affair. , Held By Police La Bianco and Trapini were ar raigned before the police magistrate this morning charged with shooting with intent to kill. They waived pre liminary examination and were bound over to the district court. When Asqulth ldughed. It ts said that Mr. Asqulth has only once been known to laugh outright when on a publlo platform. The record-making occa sion was at a political meeting In Scotland. The premier was constantly being Inter rupted, one of the chief hecklers being a farmer wearing a large straw hat. Suddenly from someone in the hall came a very per sonal remark concerning Mrs. Asqulth. "Who said that?" he demanded quickly. There was a' sudden silence. Then a man In the audience stood up, and, pointing to the farmer with the straw hat, shouted: "It was him wl' the coo's breakfast on his head I" The reply Was altogether too much for Mr. Asqulth and he had to Join in the gen erafroar of laughter Baltimore American. woman injured by hallow prank Wire Stretched Across Side walk Trips Mrs. Virgil Sampson. FOLIOS SEEK MISCREANTS The life of Mrs. Virgil Sampson, wife of Virgil Sampson, teamster, living at 111 South Twenty-eighth street, may prove the cost of vicious premature Hallowe'en pranks of youths last night at Twenty-eighth and Douglas. Wires had been stretched across the sidewalks and streets, every few feet in the neitrhborhood and on Douglas street, half a dozen barrels, stolen from a nearby grocery store, were built into a barricade entirely blocking the thoroughfare in a place where unwary autoists would be apt to run into it. Mrs. Sampson was walking home when she tripped over the wires and fell flat on her face, striking her forehead with such force as to cause concussion of the brain.
