COURT IS TCTRGED TO
SET JUDGMENT ASIDE
f xHICAGO. 111. Oct 29. Contending
I that 33 labor union officials con-
" victed at Indianapolis last De-
cember for complicity in the McNamara
dynamite plots had been "punished
three times for the same offence and
had been railroaded to jail" attorneys
for the convicted men today appealed
to the United States circuit court of
appeals to have the judgment set
aside.
Appeal Mcde for 30 Men.
Attorney Elija N. Zoline began the
argument in behalf of 30 of the men.
Three others are not Involved in the
appeal remaining In the federal prison
at Leavenworth Kas. while two others
have been paroled.
"We will show that these men not
only did not have a fair trial but that
they were punished three times for the
offences" said attorney Zoline.
"First they were convicted of con-
spiracy with Ortie E. Managal and the
McKamaras to vidlate the federal laws
by carrying explosives on passenger
trains; secondly they were convicted
of actually carryipg explosives' and
thirdly they were convicted on the con-
solidated offences.
"All of these convictions were based
on the same evidence. Punishments
were fixed accordingly. For instance
Frnak M. Ryan was given seven years
on the contention that he committed
three offences by one act."
Mr. Zoline quoted authorities to show
that a conviction on one offence is a
bar to a conviction of another when
both offences are based on the same
evidence.
"Railroaded To Jail."
"We also contend that these men
were railroaded to jail" asserted Mr.
Zoline.
"After their conviction at Indian-
apolis they -were not given time to
apply for a writ of error but Imme-
diately were rushed to the penitentiary
at Leavenworth. If the court please
these men are union workers; They
construct beautiful houses but ther do
not live in them. They are laboring
men but they are entitled to a fair
chance."

FEDERAL troops are preparing to
evacuate the city of Chihuahua

1 oclock aboard a "mixed" train from
the southern capital. For three days
five special trains loaded with cavalry
horses of the Chihuahua garrison have
been kept In readiness for instant
movement and the public tongue in the
state capital says the movement will
be to Juarez according to the arrivals.
Locomotives with a full head of steam
night and day are attached to the
trains.
Villa Reported Near.

striking distance of the city by this

the rebel cause while federal officials
in Juarez decjare that he will not at-
tempt such a thing.
Train Expected Tonight.
Another refugee train from Chihua-

time tonight- This morning's train met
general Sulazar's volunteer troops 40
miles south 'of Juarez late Tuesday
night en route to the capital city. Sal-
azar left Juarez yesterday evening for
the south over ithe Mexican National
line.
The vanguard of Villa's forces ap-
peared Tuesday evening at Terrazas
station 30 miles north of Chihuahua
according to messages received last
night by federal authorities in Juarez.
Their appearance was the signal for
the departure of a cavalry column from
Chihuahua for Terrazas. It is not
known whether the forces clashed al-
though thi3 Is considered improbable
as the rebels were few in number and
thought to be only out for the purpose
of scouting.

gown and such information can be
gained in Paris alone. When mother

was better in the bank. I never yet

that much for you Mrs. Jamesworthy.
Never once have you hurt my feelings
by protesting against the purchase of
anything new. If I should hint at this

took the chairs from there the parlor

daughter -won a pot and I also won
one. We then went to a place where
there was a roulet game and after
playing there for an hour or so and
having a little streak of luck we de-
cided to come back to El Paso. When
we left the roulet game I noticed two
blond Americans go out when we did
my daughter and I walked -with a
friend from San Francisco by the name
of McDonald as far as the office ot
the Jockey club in Juarez.
"In a short time my friend came out
and told me that he would have to go
back to Juarez to see someone. My
daughter and I -walked toward the
bridge of the International boundary
line and when -we got in front of a
house that is being built two men
came up to us and demanded that we
hold .up oucUiands. One. of the- meji
had a small revolver and when he gave
the command I struck at him and he
hit me over the right eye -with the
pistoL My daughter Was about 10 feet
back of We and she began to scream.
One of the men ran into a vacant lot
T and disappeared and my daughter ran
up and struck tne other leiiow with a
heavy cane that she had purchased as
a souvenir. She kept screaming and
the man struck her on the hand bruis-
ing it after which he took to his
heels."
Bush when seen at the station had a
bandage over his right eye and his
daughter's right hand was bandaged.
Mrs. Bush the wife remained in the
parlor of one of the local hotels until
her husband and daughter returned
from Juarez.
Bush stated that his home was near
Los Angeles in one of the suburbs and
that he was engaged in raising
and shipping oranges.
Miss Mabel Bush the Callfomlan's
daughter is a large athletic blond and
graduate of Wellsesley college.
Miss Bush considered it quite an ad-
venture. The family had been visiting
relatives In Boston and stopped over a
day to visit Juarez.
' am sure it was the two blond
Americans that I saw watching us"
said Miss Bush "who tried to rob us.
Papa was rather lucky and he was
careless in showing his money. The
two men were sitt'ntr onnosita ns In
the keno room and I saw them again
when we left the roulet room. It might
have been worse and I wouldn't advise
women or men for that matter to have
anything to do with the games at
Juarez. We did not report the matter
to the officials in Juarez because -we
do not know the language and -we were
afraid we might be detained."

TWO SECTIONS TODAY.
President and Secretary oi
State at Work Now on An-
nouncement. NO DISPOSITION
DECIDED FOR DIAZ
New Election Possible il
Huerta Can Be Induced to
Get Out. '
W
ASHINGTON . C Oct 29. i
Secretary -Bryan said today
that a formal rioter- had been
sent to all the European governments
asking them to suspend the formulation
of a' policy toward Mexico until tha
United States had defined its attitude.
While England France arid Germany
he said had already been hfiard from
it is expected that the other govern-i
ments will follow the three great pow-f
era in awaiting the decision" of tha
United States as to the next step ia
bringing peace in Mexico.
Will Eliminate Huerta.
The United States requested the pow-t
ers to await a proposal several days!
ago and since that time the note has;
been in preparation.
If -Great Britain Germany and'FrancsJ
join the United States in demanding;
Huerta's resignation and demanding a
free and constitutional election it has
been asserted by officials high in au-
thority her that Huerta would yield
and a new government -would be es-
tablished wiihout lii'rvtmtion. This
would necessitate a ceafjrnon JfaH hos-
tilities and cooperation on the part of
the Mexican i evolution zf.
Want Hberta Eliminated.
President Wilson had an early con-
ference with secretary Bryan today
and the secretary said after it that they
were at work on the next step In tha
policy that will be pursued. It is ex-
pected that the United States will make
formal demand for the elimination of
Huerta and the conduct of fair and
free elections possibly with some safe-
guards to systematize the election ma-
chinery. There was no comment forth-
coming however from executive quar
ters as to just what was intended by
the United States but it was generally
agreed in official circles that soma
positive action looking toward a solu-
tion of the problem would be in lin
with the expectation of the powers.
May Deal With the Rebels.
Steps to bring about a new election
would involve negotiations with ths
"Constitutionalists" and there is a con-
fidence among administration officials '
that if guarantees for a free campaign
can be arranged through the establish-
ment of a provisional authority at MeiJ
ico City acceptable to the "Constitu-
tionalists" the latter are likely to fall
Into line.
Secretary Bryan said that the state
department had not yet decided what;
disposition would be'made of Gen Felix
Diaz a refugee aboard the battleship
Louisiana.
N"o Full Election. Report.
Only meager reports of the reeent!
elections have reached the state den
partment Consular dispatches reported!

erals after fighting in which no Amer-i
leans were injured.

A laconic message from rear adrnira

iana and that "all was quiet"
Asylmn to be Limited.
Rear admiral Fletcher was notified
last night by secretary Bryan thatt
political refugees could be shielded only
icuipuioray.
The state department first instructed
him to inquire of the Mexican refugees
where they wished to go. Later tha
department notified the admiral that
Within a reasonable time they must be
transferred from the American war ves-
sel. They may be placed aboard a
commercial liner bound for Havana or
New York as they choose.
Frauee Arks Protection.
An evidence of the sincerity ot
France In the proposed cooperative
Mexican policy came in a request bv
that government that the Lnited States
send a warship to preset her nationals
in San Ignacio. Smaloa on the P.ieitic
coast of Mexico. The state department
at once made plans to accede to the
request
Prominent Mexicnn Resigns.
A private cablegram received here
today from Miguel CovariuWas Mex-
ican minister to Russia announces that
diplomat's resignation. CovariuWas.
