Secretary Daniels announced Adj miral.Sims would be called on to make good his charges either before the senate or a naval board. Simultaneously, Chairman Butler, of the house naval' committee an nounced that Maj. Gen.

Chicago,. Jan. 19. Federal Judge Carpenter has taken exception to a statement made in a recent address by Judge Orrin Carter of the Illi nois supreme court that radicals should not be deported, but edu cated to appreciate the true values of American ideals and institutions. "You may as well try to teach a " rattlesnake to sleep in a cradle with a babv as to trv to educate au an archist or radical." said Judge Car-1 Killed Three Mexicans In NigHt Fight, Farmer ; Tells Senate Committee American Physician Also Describes Continuous Out rages Against American's Across the Border and Declares Never Has a Culprit Been Punished Dr. Hunter Asserts He Knows No Mexican, Car ranza Included; Whose Oath He Would Accept. San-Antonio, Jan. 19. After des cribing one outrage after another, which l:e claimed o have witnessed, Dr. John Hunter, an American phy sician of Nogales, told the senate subcommittee investigating the Mex ican situation today he nevef had known of a Mexican being punished for killing an American in Meyico. "There has been no safety tor American life or property in Mexico since 1010," he said. "I have k"own a lot ol Mexicans in that time, and I do not know one and I know Carranza "whose oath I would ac cept." Dr. Hunter was at Guadalajara when the Americans occupied Vera Cruz. His account of the flight of the Americans from there was ac cepted, as additional evidence of the higher regard held by Mexicans for British and German representatives. It was the British consul who af forded protection to the Americans at Guadalajara and a German clerk at another town who effected the release of Americans held by Mexi can soldiers bv declaring himself a Germs n consular officer. Shot Three Mexicans. J. D. Ward, now a farmer in lex as, gave the first instance in the committee's record of an American scoring on the Mexicans. Ward shot three and got back into the United . States without 1eing cap tured. He was living on a fruit farm with his wife in 1915, he testiiied. One night he was visited by sol diers led by one identified as a non commissioned officer in Carranzas army. They had been there be fore and tried to extort money. That night, Ward said, he gave the lead er some, but not enough to satisfy him and his men tried to force their way through the door. "I had told mv wife to get under' the bed," he testified. "I had made up my mind I would have to fight. As the leader came in I fired and he fell. The others began firing and continued their efforts to enter. I had estimated' there were not more than eight or ten in the background when the controversy had begun. Pretty soon another came in sight and I lcr him have it, too, and a moment later I managed to make out the outlines of another man ani I got him." The attacking party withdrew and the remainder of the night was spent by Mr. and Mrs. Ward in hiding un der - the barn. It. developed next day, he said, that the Mexicans on their way to his house had raided that of an American negro, brutally attacking the man s wite. who was a member of the Blalock colony, testified he had been he'd 1? days and ordered shot by Co!. Lopez De Lara, who insisted he was a Yaqui Indian and a spy of Villa. Jacks is from Pine Bluff, Ark. His testimony was corroborative of others wh have told of outrages and depredations. His escape was au indirect result of his enforced practice of medicine. RUSS HOPE TO FINANCE TRADE WITHOUT GOLD Think Raw Materials Should Prove Good in Exchange For U. S. Products. London, Jan. 19. The joint com mittee here of the Russian co-operative societies will leave for Paris for a conference with the allied council's representatives to work out details to put into operation the reopening of trade with Rus sia through the societies. The committee's chairman, M. Morozoff, is general manager of the L'nion of Siberian Co-operative Unions. Asked if sufficient gold is avail able in Russia to finance a resump tion df trading on any considerable scale, he said: v "We have, no gold, but we liave what is better, raw materials."

Defeat of the peace treaty, with or without reservations', was predicted by Sen ator Jaflles A. .Reed at a dinner given in honor of himself and Sena tor Hiram Johnson by New York business men. 'Senator Johnson de clared that the Lodge reservations, while not wholly protecting the United States, gave a measure of protection and that' they were the "irreducible minimum" on' which no compromise could be made. Senator Reed declared formal peace could be secured by passage of the Knox resolution which called for ratification of the peace treaty with the elimination on the league covenant. Protection Conceded. . "The irreducible minimum of pro tection to our country, said ben ator Johnson, "must . sharply and absolutely jnark the line. The neces sity of this protection is conceded; that it is the least that should Be done is admitted. "Compromise of the protection thus essential leaves oup country and its institutions menaced and im perilled. Compromise with an ir reducible ' minimum is abject sur render. The senate,' nof only for maintenance of its own dignity and its high purpose, but because of its lofty patriotism, can permit no sub stantial modification or alteration of the measure of protection it has demanded and won." Lodge Sends Telegram. Senator Henry Cabot Loclge, in a telegram, declared there were "cer tain principles" involved in the sen ate reservations to the peace-treaty on which no compromise is possible. Reservations as finally -agreed up on, he said, were drafted by "those who desired to have he treaty rati fied," and "many senators who voted for them made large concessions in doing so." "The president," he said, "has ever altered his position." A telegram from Senator Knox was also read in which he declared if he voted to advise ratification of the treaty he would 'feel he naf compromised his Americanism, and consciously refused to follow the clearest convictions he had ever' en tertained, upon a public question.

""We stood, 8 to 4, on the first ballot Saturday evening right after we went out. and we stood, 8 to 47on the last ballot taken Monday after noon," said Foreman Mills. The jurors agreed among themselves not to vmake public whether the eight votes were for conviction or ac-. quittal. Asked No Instructions. The jury asked for no additional instructions or" any clearing up of evidence during all the time it was out. At 2 yesterday afternoon Judge Redick called the 12 men in and questioned them. . "Is there any possibility of reach ing a verdict?" he asked. "Does any juror think you might - still agree?" "I am sure we cannot," said Fore man Mills. "We could stay in that room the rest of the year and not change a single ballet, with this bunch," said Juror Charles Traver. Judge Redick pointed out the im portance of reaching a verdict if it could be done conscientiously and sent the 12 men back to the jury room. No word came until he called them in again at 4:30 o'clock. (Tlie Foreman Grins. "Gentlemen of the jury,' have you rgreed upbn a verdict?" asked the judge. "Not yet," said the foreman with a grin.
