Dallas, Tex., June 12.—A mob of sev-

for a masked man who had attacked
Mre. N. F. Good and seriously beat her
at her home near Farmers branch,
fourteen miles north of Dallas. This
afternoon no trace of the man had been
found but the posse was augmented by
recruits as the excitement spread.
Mrs. Good, who is about 35 years old,
was not dangerously hurt by the attack
as the man was frightened off after
he struck her in the head.. bruising her
and causing her nose to bleed. She
could give little description of her as-
sailant, whether he was white or black,
as she said his face was entirely cov-
ered by a mask and his hands by
gloves.

a situation, he declared, could not be graph"company dispatch from Athens
The Huerta delegates read the dis-
ratch from Saltillo with evident in-
terest. Senor Babasa, their spokesman,
said he had received no previous inti-
mation of it. The question of admis-
sion to the conference, he said, was a
matter for decision by the mediators.
The American delegates looked upow
the announcement from Saltillo as a
distinctly encouraging sign, indicating
that all sides now recognize the value
of mediation as a way of restoring
peace. It is not at all unlikely that
they will try to persuade the mediators
not to close the door on the constitu-
tionalist delegates.
On the other hand the need for con-
stitutionalist representation, in the
view of one of the mediators, is daily
diminishing. He said the mediators
from the outset had taken the inter-
ests of the constitutionalists into con-
sideration. All the American delegates
have kept in touch with the wishes of
the constitutionalists through the
Washington government. Carranza del-
egates could give valuable information
ar d assistance to the United States,
upon whom rests - the responsibility
for bringing peace out of the present
chaos.
i today says the Greco-Turkish situation
has entered a more serious stage. The
Greek foreign minister today informed
the representatives in Greece of the
European powers that although his
government was desirous of maintain-
ing peace it would no longer remain
indifferent to the continued expulsion
of Greek subjects from Thrace and
elsewhere.

Athens, Greece, June 12.—A warning
to Turkey, which fell little short of a
formal declaration of hostilities, was
uttered today by Premier Venizelos of
Greece in the chamber of deputies. He
was speaking on the treatment of
Greek subjects in Turkey.
The premier’s attitude showed that
the tension between Greece and Tur-
key was near breaking point and that
the danger of war was imminent.
M. Venizelos, who obviously found
difficulty in restraining his language
when he spoke of the way in which the
Turks had treated his fellow country-
men, said:
“I do not wish to allow to escape me

should fail in my duty if I did not in-

Niagara Falls, Ont., June 12.—The
mediators will not officially admit to
the conference here the representatives
General Carranza has announced he
will send to Niagara Falls. The South
American diplomats said they could not
recede from their original condition,
demanding an armistice.
The dispatch from Saltillo yesterday
stating that the Carranza note made
no mention of the conditions under
which he was sending delegates was
shown to the mediators. They declined
to make formal comment, but let it be
known that their attitude had under-
gone no change—that admission of the
constitutionalists is contingent upon
declaration of an armistice.
The mediators would have no objec-
tion to a conference between the Huer-
ta. Carranza and American delegates.
In fact such a suggestion has been un-
der consideration for some time, so that
if an agreement could be reached be-
tween these three parties at interest,
the mediators would finahy admit all
to the signing of a protocol.
It is considered possible that the Car-
ranza delegates might be informally
received here and their argument heard
as to why an armistice cannot be de-
clared. But on this point there has
been no crystalization of sentiment,

Reports have been current for several
weeks of unrest in the Balkans, and
of the ever-increasing acuteness of the
situation between Turkey and Greece.
A general feeling has prevailed in
Europe that Turkey was preparing for
another conflict with Greece with the
object of reconquering the territory
she had lost in the recent war. Expul-
sions of Greek subjects from Asia Mi-
nor, as well as from European Turkey
have been in progress for some time.
Threatt of another Greco-Turkey war
did not come as a surprise to diplo-
mats here today. Greece accuses Tur-
key of the wholesale expulsion with
great cruelties of Greek Christians from
the province of Thrace, while Turkey
accuses Greece of oppressing the Turk-
ish subjects in the region of Saloniki,
which was taken by the Greeks in the
recent Balkan war.
Messages from Athens today state
one class of the Greek naval reserves
has been called out, ostensibly to par-
ticipate in fleet maneuvers.
Greek shipowners’ have telegraphed
instructions to the commanders of their
ships in the Black Sea to return im-
mediately to Greek waters. A confer-
ence between the Russian and Rouman-
ian minister has been planned to take
place at Bucharest, Roumania, next
week, to endeavor to prevent war.

ciety was held in London on Wednes-

After months of hard work the ex-
ecutive committee of the sixth annual
cotton carnival to be held July 31 to
Aug. 9, inclusive, have completed all
plans, signed all contracts, and secured
parades and entertainments which will
be seen on the beach this summer, So
that all that remains to be done to-
ward the success of this summer’s car-
nival can be done after the carnival
opens.
Inasmuch as the various events which
will be seen at this year’s carnival have
been printed at wide intervals in Th©
Tribune, a resume of all the work al-
ready done is included here, so that all
Galvestonians may know what the na-
ture of this summer’s fete is to be.
From the very start of the work of
this year’s committee, precedents hava
been smashed, new ideas worked out,
and new methods of accomplishing re-
sults adopted. For that reason this
year's carnival will be regarded with,
unusual interest by Galvestonians who
have had opportunities to attend car-
nivals in past years.
The first radical departure of this
year’s committee from the precedents
established by their predecessors was
that of the change from the old site
in the Auditorium at Twenty-seventh,
street and Avenue Q, to the beach
front. The reasons of the committee
for taking this step were explained in
detail to the directors of the Commer-
cial association before the step was
taken. In brief they were that th©
beach is Galveston’s greatest attrac-
tion and does more to bring the up-
stater to the city than the exhibits.
It was also pointed out by the sta-
tistics that of out of town visitors
only a small per cent paid admission
to the Auditorium to see the educa-
tional exhibits, while hundreds of them
spent their time in Galveston on the
beach, at the automobile races or
viewing the free parades. The com-
mittee said in effect: “Why not recog-
nize the supreme drawing power or
the beach, and combine the two attrac-
tions at that place rather than at the
Auditorium building which is hot,
stuffy. far removed from the beach,
and filled with exhibits which, while

San Francisco, June 12.—In the
opinion of Supervisor W. J. Rush-
ing of the United States forestry
service, recent eruption of Mount
Lassen are not truly volcanic, but
are “the result of water reaching a
bed of chemicals, such as lime or
acid, that create steam.”
“The blowouts,” he continued,
“are caused by the sides of the
vent caving in and plugging it up.
The steam then generates suffi-
cient pressure to throw out the

Fort Worth, June 12.—United
States officials estimate W. O.
Johns, who pleaded guilty in Dal-
las yesterday, obtained $10,000
from farmers of Texas and Okla-
homa on his seed swindle. He ad-
vertised seed at ridiculously low
price, demanding the money in ad-
vance. However, when the money
arrived he would answer his cus-
tomer, telling him to wait a short
time when he could furnish the
seed at even a lower price.
The used keys on Johns’ type-
writer, offered in circumstantial
evidence, had much to do in forc-
ing the defendant to plead guilty.
This typewriter was used to write
the letters, delaying the sending of
the seed.
I State bank, on the North Side; the Ash-

I Ghetto district, and the Illinois State
I bank of Chicago, in North Clark street.
The Broadway State and the Ashland
and Twelfth street banks were organ-
ized within the year.
William Lorimer, Jr., is listed as the
heaviest stockholder of the Illinois
stat© bank of Chicago, which, at the
last report, had deposits of $177,000
and a capital stock of $200,000.
A mild run started on the banks two
days ago, according to the secretary
of the institution. An hour after the
arrival of the state bank examiner the
doors of the institution were closed.
Mr. Lorimer was in conference with
the directors of the institution through
! the morning. In the last statement
issued by the bank its capital stock
was placed at $1,000,000, surplus $250,-
000 and undivided profits $93,631. Its
stock was then held at par.
The run on the bank, which was
characterized as "mild,” was attributed
to allegations made in connection with
a suit for damages of John H. Coyne
against State Auditor Brady, in which
Coyne charged that the La Salle street
bank had contributed to the Brady
campaign fund on the basis that it
should be consulted regarding ap-
pointments to be made by the auditor.
Rough estimates of the withdrawals
by depositors in the last three weeks
place the amount at more than $1,000,-
000.

Washington, June 12.—Gen. Car-
ranza’s reply to the Mexican mediators
announcing his intention of sending
three delegates to the Niagara confer-
ence was received here early today and
forwarded to Niagara Falls.
No announcement of the contents of
Carranza’s reply was made here, but
it was understood the note' is silent on
the subject of an armistice and does
not give the names of the men who
will be sent to represent the constitu-
tionalists.
It is known, however, that Rafael
Zubaran, minister of the interior in the
Carranza cabinet and chief of the
agency here, will not be among the
delegates, as Carranza considers Zuba-
ran is needed to look after affairs
here.
Two of the delegates are almost cer-
tain to be Luis Cabrera, a prominent
figure in the constitutional movement,
and Jose Vasconcelos, a young lawyer.
The name of the third man was not
known here.
Carranza’s reply came through to
Washington from Satillo over a special
leased telegraph wire and was put in
the form of a note here by Zubaran,
who forwarded it by mail to Niagara
Falls early today. It may reach there
tonight.

Washington, June 12.—Treasury de-
partment officials were still of th©
opinion today that it will be possible
to have the twelve federal reserve
banks in operation by August 1, al-
though they say the demand for money
to move crops has not been such as
would suggest any great strain to be
relieved by the reserve banks.
Oklahoma and Kansas are now har-
vesting their wheat. Indications are
that it will be a bumper crop, but the
banks in the wheat section are not
hard pressed for money, and this con-
dition is attributed by Secretary Mc-
Adoo to the passage of the federal re-
serve act, which will make it possible
to re-discount commercial paper.
Practically the remainder of Juns
will be required for the election of
directors of the federal reserve banks.
Banks which have signified their in-
tention to be members of reserve banks
now are balloting for directors of the
A and B classes. Each reserve bank
will have three directors of class A and
three of class B, all named by electors
selected by the various member banks.
Three directors of class C are then to
be designated' by the federal reserve
board and must be men with banking
experience.
The organization committee has not
made any call upon member banks as
yet for the initial one-sixth of their
subscriptions to the capital stock of
the reserve bank to which they wish
to belong. Such a call hardly will be
made until after the federal reserve
board is confirmed by the senate and
takes up its work in Washington.

for a number of business men in the

serve board. It was said unofficially
today that his nomination would go to

With the nomination of Mr. Jones,
the names of Paul M. Warburg of New
York,- W. P. G. Harding of Birming-

......... • ♦---------------
complete system of reports for the
reserve banks must be worked out.
It is pointed out by Secretary Mc-
Adoo and Comptroller of the Currency
Williams that the federal reserve
banks will in no sense be general
banks and consequently the functions
will be wholly unlike those of the or-
dinary city banks. The federal reserve
banks will be bankers’ banks. They
will hold reserves and clear the checks
of member banks, make re-discounts
for them and engage in certain open
market operations which will have lit-
tle effect on the regular banking oper-
ations of the cities in which the fed-
eral reserve banks are located.
One of the first duties which will
fall upon the directors of the twelve
federal reserve banks will be the es-
tablishment of branches necessary to
accommodate the business of the var-
ious districts. Branches will be oper-
ated by directors named by the main
bank and the federal reserve board. No
limit has been placed upon the number
of banks which each federal reserve
bank may establish,

force the embargo.

Washington, June 12.—Carelessness
on the part of vessel captains in the
handling of their craft will not be tol-
erated hereafter by the department of
commerce. With the recent disasters
of th© Empress of Ireland in th© St.
Lawrence river and the Old Domilion
liner Monroe off the Virginia coast,
still fresh in the mind, Secretary Red-
field so indicated today in a letter to
the head of the steamboat inspection
service, calling attention to the recent
grounding of the passenger steamer
Iroquois in the Hudson river, for
which the captain of the Iroquois is
said to have received a thirty days’
suspension of license. The secretary is
convinced that the punishment often
meted out to vessel captains who are
in accidents is insufficient for the
gravity of the offense. In his letter
Secretary Redfield says in part:
“If there is no law to the contrary
in the case, I should say that this
captain, if he had passengers on board
at the time of this accident, should j
have had his licenses suspended, at
least for the season, on its being
prove dthat he had run at unusual
speed at night in a fog.”

rious treatments through which the
cotton passes on its way from the field
to the factory. Moreover, we believed
that by holding the carnival here w©
would call the attention of the up-
state farmers and shippers to our
shipping facilities. In the marine ex-
hibit it was thousht that something
unique was being shown to the people
from the interior, and the chicken and
other agricultural exhibits were de-
signed to interest those who are con-
cerned principally with agriculture.”
To this again the executive commit-
tee replied: "We realize the value of
the educational exhibit and we do not
wish to do away with it altogether.
We do believe, however, that until
some place other than the Auditorium
can be utilized for the purpose, it will
make the cotton carnival top heavy,
and instead of being an attraction to
people who come down here to escape
th© heat at home, it will be a bore.
If, as we hope to show this year, the
success of a carnival on the beach can
be demonstrated, and the city commis-
sioners induced to purchase lots south
of the present Auditorium extending
to the beach as a site for a city park,
then the two attractions can be com-
bined, admission can not only be
charged, but collected, and the purpose
of the founders of the carnival car-
ried out.”
