Hanta Fe train at Temple this morn-
ing with Charles lden, a Waco real
estate man, the latter was taken
Charge of by Deputy Sheriff Fred
Oliver of Waco on a writ of habeas
corpus issued here and brought back
to Waco. Francis arrived here last
night, locating lden with the aid of
the police. He secured an automo-
bile and made a quick run to Temple.
' Iilen's attorneys secured a writ of
habeas corpus from Judge R. I. Mun-
ri.e here, and in company with Deputy
Oliver they reached Temple just in
time to serve the papers on Sheriff
Francis.
lden was spirited out of Waco l>5' an
Ohio officer last year, but the latter
'was served with a writ of habeas cor-
pus before getting beyond the county
line. Sheriff Francis claimed to have
a warrant for Iden's arrest for non-
support of his child and also extra-
dition papers from Governor Fergu-
son. lden denies he has ever been in
Ohio.
TRADE WITH SOUTH AMERICA
* stilts of Pan-American Conference
Are Most Gratifying, Declares Sec-
retary of the Treasury McAdoo.
WASHINGTON, June 2.—Plans to
continue the work begun by the recent
Pan-American Financial Conference
through permanent committees were
announced today by Secretary Mc-
Adoo of the treasury, who expressed
confidence that "practical results of
the most advantageous sort to the
United Staes and all the countries of
ftoutli and Central America" would
follow the conference.
"Some of the governments In South
America, X am told," he said, "have
already made financial arrangements
with some of our bankers."
Mr. McAdoo said the conference
showed "absolute unanimity of opin-
ion as to_ the vital necessity for im-
proved ocean transportation facilities."
and added.
"Xf adequate steamship facilities
could be promptly supplied, there Is
no doubt we could secure the largest
part of the valuable trade with South
and Central America."
The secretary announcel his inten-
tion of recommending to' the president
that congress provide for holding such
a conference annually. The perma-
nent committees will be named later.
T,OM>ON, dune 2.—The b:ul!e
of Pr/.eiiiysl continue* with un-
abated fury. Both sides have
poured in reinforcements and
with attacks and counter-attacks
the losses in incn and material
arc piling up to an unprecedented
extent.
The (>ier mans aiul Austria lis re-
port claims that some of the fort*
on the northern front already
have fallen and that on the
southeastern front their troo|Mt
are progressing toward the rail-
way that joins the fortress witli
liemberg.
The latest Petrograd coiiiiiiunl-
catlon says, however, that the
(Germans who got into one fort
were driven out and make* no
mention of the capture of Stry
or of other successes claimed by
the Teutonic allies.
To the southeast simultaneous-
ly with tlW battle the Germans
are making another effort to
break through the li/ura lines to-
ward Warsaw, hut whether tills
is a serious attempt to capture
tlic Polish capital or only a di-
version to prevent tlie Russians
from sending more renlforce-
mcnts Into (iallcla is not dis-
closed.
The Germans claim to have
captured upwards of SIMt.tllMI
Russian* and an immense amount
of material during the mouth of
May. Despite this the Russians
do not appear to have slackened
tlieir resistance.
(In the (•allipoll peninsula. »lie
British and French lines have
liecn subjected to severe attacks
by the Turks, all of which, ac-
cording to the British report Is-
sued this evening, have been re-
pulsed. There, as in France,
trench warfare is being followed
but in tiiis case, (lie allies have
the support of their fleet which
prevents the Turks from coming
out into the open.
ho far as France is concerned,
(lie most important fighting in
progress is north of^Arras, where
tlie (JeriiiaiiH and French are con-
tending for the possession of the
sugar refinery at Soucliez. which
both claim to hold.

Russian Attacks Repulsed.
Vienna, June 2.—The official state-
ment by tht-
day reads:
"The Russians have renewed strong
attacks on the eastern bank of the
San. Desperate attacks everywhere
have been repulsed with heavy itus-
sian losses.
"North of Przemysl two additional
of th« fortifications have been storm-
ed and we have maintained the con-
quered ground.
"South of the Dniester, our attacks
are successfully progressing. Hostile
positions between Stry and Drohobycz
were stormed yesterday.
"Strong Russian forces w.hich yes-
terday attacked our position near
Solotwina, in South Galicia, suffered
severe losses and at some points took
to flight.
"Besides the booty mentioned in the
German communication as captured
during May' from the' Russians, we
took 189 ammunition wagons and a
quantity of other war material, such
as 8,500 rounds of artillery ammuni-
tion, 5,500,000 cartridges and 32,000
rifles.
"In the Italian war theatre all the
undertakings of the enemy have been
unsuccessful. The bombardment of
the plateau of Lavaronne, Folgaria,
and the Carinthian barriers with a
great expenditure of ammunition, has
caused no material damage. No im-
portant fighting has taken place on
the frontiers of Tyrol or Carinthia.
On the coastal frontier, an enemy at-
tack on the ridge was repulsed with
heavy Italian losses."
WASHINGTON. June 2.—President
Wilson emphasized in an informal talk
today with Count von Bernatorff, the
German atnbasador, the intense feel-
ing of the American people over the
sinking of tlie Lusitania and other
violations ot American rights on the
high seas and impressed upon him
that the United States must insist on
an adherence by Germany to the ac-
cepted principles of international law
as they aifect neutrals. No announce-
ment was made after the conference
which had been arranged at the am-
bassador's request, but it was stated
authoritatively there would be no
change in the plan of the president
and his cabinet to send in response to
the German reply to the last Ameri-
can note, an inquiry to ascertain defi-
nitely whether the imperial govern-
ment will abide by international I iw
or follow its own rules of maritime
warfare. The note will be dispatch-
ed before tlie end of the week.
Views Are Eic!ianged.
In twenty minutes conversation
President Wilson and the person*!
representative of Emperor William
exchanged views on the delicate situ-
ation. Their meeting was cordial, tlie
conversation friendly and both dis-
cussed fundamentals and not details.
Count von Bernstorff later told
friends the interview had been satis-
factory and that the president had
spoken clearly and frankly.
The ambassador felt very hopeful
and believed the report which he pre-
pared for transmission to Berlin would
enlighten the German foreign office on
the true state of the American govern-
ment's opinion and pave the way to a
better understanding.
In official and diplomatic quarters
opinion was divided as to tlie effect of
the conference. Some pointed out
the German ambassador similarly was
hopeful when President Wilson's note (

nition.
Failure to unite in a movement to bring peace to Mexico

telegraphed to Generals Villa. Carran/a, Zapata and others,
would "constraint the United States to decide what means
should be employed" to save the people of the southern re-
public from further devastations of internal war.
Everywhere—in official and diplomatic and among Mexi-
cans of varied leading—the statement was interpreted as
meaning that the United Stales would bring pressure to bear
to unite the factions in the choice of a provisional president,
and, failing to bring all elements together, would give its
active support to those elements which did agree. Interven-
tion was considered a possible ultimate development.
