If the Mexican Anfjiorltlrn Can not Bxplnln the Matter They Wll II In vp to Answer to Uncle Sam, THIRD DISTRICT WOODMEN NAME LIST OF DELEGATES Washington, April iL-The attention of tho State department which has.lately been given to a vexatious problem from the wounding of American soldiers and othor American citizens ntong tho Mexi can border was directed today toward the serious situation resulting from tho slay ing of a petty officer and a sailor from tho United States cruiser Callforna at Guaymas. Charles D. Taylor, consular agent at Guaymas, In reporting the deaths to tho department said a strict Investigation was being made. Shot l.y Official. ' Tho shooting was dona by the chief of police of Guaymas and as American sail ors going ashore In a foreign country Invariably go unarmed, officials hero will Insist that tho circumstances of tho slay ing bo probed to the bottom. If the Mexican authorities are unable to show that thero was a provocation for' the attack by the armed police, serious consequences may ensue. It was pointed out that tho double killing might be taken ss an Indication of the Inadequacy ot tho present government and have an Influonce when tho United States gives further con sideration to tho question of recognition of tho Huerta government.

Mexico full of Disorder. MEXICO CITY, April 1U That tho with holding of official recognition by the United States materially has weakened the Huerta government Is the opinion generally expressed by tho public and privately admitted in certain Mexican official circles. Tho new rebel movement has made greater progress than has the provisional government In suppressing Insurgency and it no longer Is a secret that the condition of tho treasury Is such as will 'not permit tho continuation ot military operations much longer. This has been publicly admitted by tho Mexican minister of the Interior, Garcia Qranados. T,ho chamber of deputies has not ap proved the proposed foreign loan, but Its failure to tako up this matter Is said to be duo to a desire to avoid further embarrassing the finance department which so far has been unable to arranre for the flotation of the loan, notwlth standing recent assurances to that effect from London. It is assumed by the government that Its inability to lisuo the loan is due directly to nonrecognltlon by Washington. Editorial writers comment upon this Phase of tha situation and there has begun a propaganda in the local press tending to place responslbUlty for tho fata of Mexico on tho United States. IlxehniiKS Rates Going; Up, Further complicating tho financial difficulties of the government Is tho steady Increase In tho exchange rate, which within a week has mounted from practically parity to 2C0, and that rate only Is available 'to 'favored patrons. In an offort to check 'the upward tendency of the exchange .rate the minister of finance Is urging congress to authorize an Increase of 10 per cent In the export tax on gold. Tills has brought Mexicans to tho realization that even the national currency no longor 1b maintained on a gold basis. Business conditions In Moxloo are re flecting seriously tho revolutionary dis turbances. Smelters at Monterey, Vol ardena and Torrcon have, been closed for lack ot fuel. At San Luis Potoel the smelters aro running on half time nnd at Agua Callentcs at u third of capacity. At Chihuahua and Matehuala tha mills aro running on full time. Transporta tlon facilities remain seriously crippled. Rebels practical control tho states of Soiinra, Couhillla and Durango In tlio north, while the situation in tho south, where Emlllano Zapata still Is In control, has not changed materially. In Nuevo Leon the federals slowly are regaining possession of tho railroad to Laredo, on the Texas border, but-the rebels, pushed back from this lino of communication, aro extending tho zone of operations far to tho eastward. In southern Coahulla tho rebels hold the Immediate neighborhood around Torrcon and between thero and Chihuahua Inter rupt traffic on tho Mexican Central al most at will.

Bell and John Bchnrf, tntter'n Teatl nnny Bring Ruled Ont. lTtBMONT, Neb.. April 12. (Special TeleBram.) The .$C3,C00 libel suit brought by Judge Esteile against the Omaha Dally News and Rev . F. Folman growing out ot tho publication by the paper of a letter criticising tho Judge shortly before the August. 1911 primaries, has occupied the attention of the district court since Tuesday. The plaintiff closed his case yesterday and -was the principal witness. He claimed that by reason of the publication he wnsJ damaged in Mb feelings and general repu tation. He denied he had ever liad Tom Dennlson -as a visitor at his house, but admitted that he had called at the Bud- wetsor saloon on 'business. Tlio Diamond pool hall Injunction -was also gone over. Rev. B. F. Felmun, one of tlio defend ants, took tho stand this morning and swore that the letter was written after an examination of the political and social conditions as an appeal to the better ele ment. Himself Rnd attorneys denied that the letter attacked tho Judicial Integrity of the Judge or corruption in office. Jf M. Bell, president of a negro club. which according' to the witness took an active part in the primary, said he saw the plaintiff around the preolnct at the time of the primary and that he went through an alley. His club he said had no use for the "Third ward crowd," and opposed the candidate they favored. John Scharf, who, Judging trom his tes timony as to tils occupation, must have known every saloon and dive and gam bling house In Omaha for years back, explained -how the primary was conducted at the precinct where he officiated as challenger. Charley Mooro, he said got him to take the place. The gang- he said had got names for the repeaters, locating them at empty houses, room ing houses and saloons. The -names had been arranged by blocks, and a board naa made with a small hollow block representing a city block; the names and residences were plaoed In these recep tacles. The repeaters would corns in and recelro a oard taken from ono of the receptacles, be handed a marked ballot by the judges and then vote and they all voted or ,EteUo. Vi'hen he cams a second or third time he would get 'another card and name. In this way thero was no repetition. Mahoney ob jected to this kind of evidence tor the reason that all this occurred after the publication of tho article. Dunn argued that It was competent as it showed that lr. Folman told the truth when he wrote the article. After a spirited argument 'between Ma honey -and Baxter, Senator Brown and Loomls. Judgo Hollenbeck sustained the, objection. Tha case, will probably take two or three days more. Friedmann Is Denied Use of Hotel Rooms I'KOVIDENCE, It. I., ' April 12. Dr. Frledrlch F.
