Evidence.
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal.. Aug. 12. If
the cross-examination of minor wit
nesses did not consume too much tlmo,
the government expected to reach the
crisis of Its case against Maury I. Diggs,
on trial charged with violation of the
Mann white alive act, before' adjourn
ment of court.
John Ij. MoNab. who resigned as
United States attorney, took the stand
for few momenta just before the noon
adjournment, but his testimony was
soon closed and dealt entirely with the
Identification of exhibits which he had
presented to tho grand Jury when ask
ing1 for indictments.
.Chief Hlllhouae. of the Reno police
force went more minutely Into the' ar
rests there, the conduct of Diggs, Cam!
nettl, Marsha Warrington and Lola
Norrls, when they learned that their
aliases would not stand and that they
must return to Sacramento prisoners,
and the appearance of tho bungalow in
which they wore found.
Portions of this testimony were un
printable. R. J. Slmen, Southern Pacific ticket
agent at Sacramento, was called to
continue his testimony begun last
Friday. lie was asked If be had
sold any round trip tickets to Reno the
night of March 9 or the early morning
of March 10. The defense objected and
the court asked the purpose of the
question.
Shown the Purpose,
"Our purpose is to show," answered
Prosecutor Roche, "that the visit to
Reno was not Intended to be merely
temporary, as the defense will attempt
to show,"
"I think you are putting the cart be
fore the, horse," aald the court.
J. D. . Hlllhouee, chief of police at
Reno, testified to the arrest of Diggs,
-CamlnetU -andther tw(PTRlrl8 at th'e"
Cheney street bungalow the. morning1 of
March 14. The chief and his ,poaSe. tried
the front door and got no" answer. After
ringing - the back door bell for some
tim$, Diggs answered it In his under
shirt, trousers and slippers. '
" 'You're Mr. Diggs, aren't your " the
chief asked.
"'No, I'm Mr. Enright,' " wa the
tuiswer,
"'I think you're Diggs and, you're
wanted in Sacramento for elopement.'' '
" 'All right, there's no use In my at
tempting to deny It. I'm Diggs.' "
During this conversation with the
chief, Marsha Warrington was In the
south and CamlnetU and Lola Norrls in
the north bedroom. CamlnetU was In
ubout the same stage of undress as
plggs.
Their Ilnlr Was Doira,
The two girls then Jplned each other
In the bath room and later came Into
the company of the mea and officers In
the kitchen. Their hair was down, the
witness said, and their dresses were not
wholly buttoned.
From the bungalow the party wasi
taken to the chiefs office and from
Jhere lo tho Jail. As the men were led
away to their cells, witness said Dlgga
Bifid to Marsha Warrington:
'."It's up to you girls whether we go
to the penitentiary or not.' "
. " 'We'll stay with you,' " the girl an
sw'ered. . The chief then entered upon a detailed
description of the two rooms, with a
view to showing the girls had not slept
together in one room and the two men
in the other.
On cross-examination Chief lllllhouse
testified that Marsha Warrington had
telephoned to her father In Sacramento
from his office before the men were
taken to Jail.
"VVhatdld she sayr
"She said: The boys are not to blame.
Don't do anything with them. Dtop the
case.' "
. Would Slick by the Ilors.
Again the chief testified, Mies War
rington, In discussing their plight had
said: "If It comes to a fight between
the boys and our parents, we will sUck
to the boys."
Attorney Devlin wished to Introduce a
Photograph of CamlnetU dressed In the
uniform of a Reno policeman, which he
had assumed while In the chief's office.
After looking at the picture, Prose
cutor Roche said: "We have no objec
tion to the Introduction of this picture."
"it makes no difference whether you
have or not," ruled the court with some
asperity. "This picture will not be ad
tnltted. This case Is not to be a trav
esty of the law, even if the people con
cerned seemed to have Ignored the con
dIUons under which they were In Reno
on that occasion."
On redlreot examination. Chief Hill
house testified that with him when the
arrest was made was Martin Beasley of
Sacramento, Marsha Warrington's uncle.
"How did she behave when she saw
him?"
"Bho shed tears and sobbed for some
moments."
"And Miss Norrls?"
"She cried, too."

Quiet and Peace
"Order of the Day in
the City of Mexico
WASHINGTON. Aug. It-Charge
O'Shaughnessy cabled the State depart-,
ment today that the situation In Mexico
City was peaceful and quiet. His mes
sage was gratifying to administration of
ficials, who desire that all misunder
standings the Mexican government may
have as to Intentions of the United
States shall be cleared up before any
further steps are taken In the peace
policy of President Wilson.
The presentation of a note representing
the views of President Wilson is expected
soon, but various stops in the American
government's program will be carried out
gradually. The first note will be trans
mitted In duplicate to all foreign govern
ments represented hero and will declare
for the first time In formal terms the
attitude of the administration toward
Mexico.
Administration officials who are hop
ing that European countries will lend
their moral support to the efforts to
adjust the Mexican situation peacefully,
were favorably Impressed with the state
ment of recognition of Huerta should be
only a recognition ol a provisional presl
dent pending an election and was done
on the theory that It was likely to assist
In the restoration of order.
The added comment from the British
government that France and Germany
had recognized President Huerta after
the American ambassador, Henry Lane
Wilson, had made a congratulatory
speech at a reception given by President
Huerta to the diplomatic corps was re
ceived as further strengthening the view
of President Wilson that the American
ambassador had been a personal factor
In the situation.
Word from Japan
Causing Comment
at Washington
WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-Japan'a In
timation to Mexico that It would receive
General Felix Dlas only as a private In
dividual and not as a special envoy
caused much comment In official quar
ters Coming at a time when negotatlons
are proceeding between Japan and the
United States on the alien land question,
this action of Japan toward Mexico was
generally construed as showing a desire
on the part of Japan to avoid anything
open to the construction of belnd un
friendly to the United States.
it was recalled that when some signifi
cance was given to the arrival of a new
Japanese minister at Mexico City, prompt
disclaimer was made by the Japanese au
thorities that any political Importance at
tached to the event, or that the new min
ister had made any expression of the
Identity of Interests between Japan and
Mexico. The present move Is thought
to be along the came lines In keeping
Japan quite apart from any apparent par
ticipation in pending political or dlplo

Facts from Banks
WASHINGTON, Aug. 12,-The comp
troller of the currency today Issued a
call for a statement of the condition of
all national banks of the United States
at the close of business Saturday, Au
gust 9.
Much information is to be obtained
from the call made today. The Treasury
department wants to . know how banks
in different sections are attempting to
relieve the demand for currency. Act
ing Comptroller Kane issued this state
ment: "All banks have been requested to
send in on special forms furnished for
that purpose, detailed statements of 1.11
money loaned to other banks, as well
as all money borrowed from other banks
In the form of rediscounts, bills pay
able or in any other manner. The new
form will enable the comptroller to more
ea&lly determine what sections of the
country are In need of additional circu
lation at stated periods of the year;
what banks accommodate their custo
mers and In addition, should also enable
the comptroller to more easily ascertain
what banks borrow In order to meet
discount and carrying conditions, and
what bonks should be listed as chronic
borrowers that is, those which borrow
to reloan in normal times.
"This amplification of reports of con
dition Is In line with the policy to ob
tain from those reports as much infor
mation as possible to serve practical, as
well as statistical purposes. With this
end in view, the forms used by the de
partment are being analyzed and con
sidered." I
