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.

The defense objected and the court asked the purpose of the question.

' " '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.

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." GUNBOAT NASHVILLE IS 0RDEREDTO VERA CRUZ PORTSMOUTH. N.

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 mttqjUWtlonXJrtJatJjiB.JoJx4o. Comptroller Seeks 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.

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 Federal Probe Ready for a Prince LOS ANGELES, Cal.. Aug, 12.
