Agua Prieta Mexico March 11.
A clear and probable satisfactory
understanding between the state de-
partment and. General Venustlaxto
'arranca supreme chief of the con-
i n ationalists waa foreshadowed here
unlay 'In the belief of prominent con-
stitutionalist' advisers following the
r. presentations made through Freder-
Amertcan consul at No-
ecretary Bryan. The com-
from the American secre
ste waa contained In a long
d to Consul SImplah at No-
Jy after the receipt of Car-
ín wnicn ne declined to
Washington government
on rcirardine- the death of
S. Benton on tho ground that suchl
i -quests slum Id have come through
the dlaWnatlc channels of the English
Mv.rnment
tetter Well Received.
It was said at General Carranza'
headquarters that Bryan's letter had
been wall received. It was learned
i hat Secretary Bryan had pointed out
what jMMpene44eTd thau4aaracttcabH
lty oFWiomaUc dealings With the
onstituajonalists by countrlaa which
always lftve been represented by an
bassadoif at Mexico City and whlcl
ra JgNBnt consular agenta ta Win
ury no controlled by Mexican i naur
Kent f
Prom the Mexican aide the Impres
sion was given that this argument had
been received as reasonable and had
been taken under aerlo.ua consideration
by Oeneral Carranza and his advisers.
The Bryan letter It waa understood
did not take up any specific case but
dealt generally wtth actual dealings
between Carranza and Washington
and any European or Asiatic country
Dramatic Touch.
The arrival today of Conaul Slmplch
Just as Genera 1 Cari atiza waa ready to
begin his march Into Chihuahua gave
a dramatic touch to the International
situation. If the Washington commu
ideation had arrived a day later the
conatKutlonallst commander In chief
would have been out of touch virtual
ly with the outside world on his two
weeks ride.
The incident was considered ai
fortunate by the Mexican officiate ir
that It gave opportunity they believed
to straighten out at once what was
deemed as a misinterpretation by
Washington of General Carranzas
stand in the Benton case and to do thla
in a fashion which would be accept
able to the constitutionalist party and
the Mexican public In general.
Both Notes Friendly.
In an Interview tonight after hand-
ing the answer to Consul Slmplch of
Nogales the constitutionalist comman-
der declared that both notea had been
friendly In nature. However angula
tion was eausetl by the fact that tho
Mexican communications had not been
made public. The nota to Secretary
Bryan sent while General Carranza
was at Nogales In which he declined
to give Washington information had
been given to the press.
The change of attitude was not ex
plained except by General Carranca
declaring that his dealings today with
Consul Slmplch had been purely per
sonal and confidential.
Receive and Act r pon Complaints
The Insurgent leader explained upon
the eve of his departure on his 200-
mlle horseback ride that he was will-
ing to assist In the protection of any
foreigner In Mexico. He did not men-
tion his previous refusal of Informa-
tion to the Washington government
but he said he would be willing to re-
ceive and aot Upon complaints which
came either directly from the Indi-
vidual or through the consular agent
of any nation represented In the dis
trict controlled by the constitutional
ists.
When asked regarding his stand
toward the Washington government
Carranza reminded the questioner that
the United States government had not
recognized the constitutionalist gov-
ernment any more than have those
natlona recognised the Huerta central
government at Mexico City against
which Carranza's party is warring.
Ends Criticad Situation.
The note from -Washington today
and Carranza's answer tonight were
considered as offering much encour-
agement to what had been deemed the
most critical situation during the pres
ent revolution. Assurances of the
friendly tone of the Mexican noto
were taken as indicating the good will
of of the constitutionalist party which.
however had been placed In a diffi-
cult position by the questioned death
of a British subject.
While the contents of Carranzas
answer were kept secret the Impres-
sion waa received that It had afforded
a loophole through which to escape
from what had been considered . a
delicate position due to a misunder
standing of the Implied meaning of
the first communication to the state
department.
Monroe Doctrine.
In all of the exchangee the Monroe
doctrine In its various tifnuMMMK
had not been mentioned. But the PC
aitloo of the fJMtad State as a pro
tector or Latin-America against rcu
ronean Invasion and its relation
toward foreign countries In event of
menace to their citizens ware fore-
moat In the unofficial discussion of
the situation.
General Carranza's posit ion had
been most difficult. It was pointed out
on account' of what was considered
Improper activity of English capital
toward the Huerta government. On
the other hand. It waa apparent that
there had been a distinct misunder-
standing at least on the part of
Washington officials of Carranza's
stand In declining to furnish more In-
formation regarding the death of a
Briton which had been requested by
the British foreign office through the
American department of state.

New York. March 11. While Henry
Slegel head of the large department
stores In New York Chicago and
Boston was testifying today .In a riot-
ous bankruptcy hearing In the federal
building the grand Jury that has been
investigating the failure of the Slegel
stores In New York and the savings
bank returned three Indictments
against him and his partner Frank
Vogel In the banking enterprise.
Slegel and Vogel wero taken to the
criminal court building where they
were arraigned and later released on
25000 ball each.
Three hundred angry depositors
who had been ejected from the bank-
ruptcy hearing hunted around the fed
eral building for Slegel in vain. At
the time they were searching to ques-
tion him he and his banking partner
were standing before Judge Rosalsky
pleading "not guilty."
Made False Statements.
One of the Indictments charges
Slegel and Vogel with grand larceny.
In that they made false statements
to the Sauk of Commerce in order to
borrow Z5 00. Tho other Indict
ment alleges that the two bankets ac
cepted deposits when they knew the
nans; or Henry siogel & Co. to he tn
solvent.
Slegel testified on the stand at the
bankruptcy proceedings that he did
not Invest capital in the private bank
that bore his name. Miss Jessie Mar-
tin interrupted his testimony and said
she had a right to represent ths de
positors at ine nearings. She .was
urged to remain1 quiet. When she re
fused she was led from the court
room. Three hundred depositors were
also put out for shouting their threats
against Slegel.
No Money to Pay.
Slegel said he and Vogel deposited
a bond and purchased fixtures for the
bank. He declared he had no money
to pay what he owed and he declined
to answer a question as to whether an
entry was made on the books of the
stores when they borrowed from the
bank on the ground that It might In
criminate him.
Slegel said he had life Insurance
policies made In favor of his daughter
to the amount of ISO 000. Ho once
owned some paintings which he said.
hie wife took four years ago. He had
no Jewelry. In regard to his partner-
ship with Vogel In tho private bank.
he said he and his partner had an
agreement to divide the profits at
the end of each year lie said his sal
ary from the Simpson & Crawford
store. In New York was 11000 a
month: the Fourteenth Street store.
also In New York. $750 a month and
from the store In Chicago $1200 a
month. His wife he said spent most
of $36000 a year for his living ex
penses. This amount represented his
total Income.
Slegel Turned Pale.
When one of District Attorney
Whitman's deetctlves who had been
sent to the federal building to watch
Slegel and his partner told Slegel's
attorney that the Indictments had been
returned Slegel turned pale and from
then on stammered out his answers
to questions put him. Slegel i
Vogel were taken to Jhe ground floor
of the building In a private elevaf
so they might dodge the mob of d
posltors waiting for them. When the
pair arrived before Judge ftosalsky
both of them appeared dazed

which to withdraw the pleas If they
so desired or to make such moth.
as might lie deemed necessary After
having their ball accepted both men
left the court Both declined to talk.
l-euroeuy Indictment.
In the indictment charging grand
larceny It is allegad that at the time
the men applied for the loan from
the National Bank of Commerce on
May 17. they said they 'had
above their liabilities $i.io. and
it was chanted they were insolvent
then. The other Indictments allege
that two depositors were allowed o
aepoett. sigo each la the Slegel bank
on December to 1911 when both
Slegel and Vogel are said to have
known the bank to be insolvent.
The Indictments by no means end
the grand Jury proceedings. It la al
leged that' an Investigation by the dla
trict attorney's office has disclosed
discrepancies or nearly two million
dollars between the books of the Sic
gel stores and bank ins enterprise:
and the financial statement used as a
basis for additional credits before the
failure. It is said the total of the dm
crepanoles may even reach a higher
figure.
