AN APPEAL TDD
PARTY HARMONY
President Wilson Issues Plea
to Tennessee Democrats;
Wants Them to Stand To
gether.
Washington.—An appeal for party
harmony among Tennessee democrats
was Issued by President Wilson lust
ntght. The authorized statement Is
sued from the White House says:
"My Judgment Is very clear and de
! elded that it is the duty of all demo-
I erals in Tennessee to accommodate
; any differences they may have had In
j the past and stand solidly together for
I the sake of the prestige and success
of the party throughout the nation.
The nation Is now accepting the serv
ices of the party as of the highest
benefit to it. nnd every democrat
should consider It part of his duty and
privilege to contribute to the hearty
tenmwork which has In recent months
made tho party so effective In the na
tion.
"As I see the situation, the causes
I which divided the party in Tennes
see no longer exist. The thought of
1 every democrat should now be bent
very earnestly towards means of union
und co-operation and common nation
al service. I do not see how, other
wise, the democrats of the state can
pull with the democrats of the nag
tlon. or the country be enabled to
Judge what Tennessee thinks of the
present administration at Washing
ton."
Prohibition Divided Party.
Washington.—The president's state
ment was called out by the fact that
some Tennessee democrats, Including
Senator Shields, believe the recent
prohibition law enacted In that state
makes the fusion of tnd.us ndriit dem
ocrats and republican* which twice
elected Governor Hooper, republican,
no longer necessary.
The prohibition Issue divided the
party, and It Is understood democrats
believe that If Governor Hooper should
be supported for a third term that
even more drastic laws may be passed.
The president sides with those who
believe the Issue to have been closed
with the passage of the present law.

VILLA'S READY
FOR JRREOH
Rebel General Thought
Through Arranging For As
sault. To Leave Chihuahua
Monday.
El Paso, Texas.—Coupled with the
arrival here Saturday of General Felipe
Angeles, Carranza’s secretary of war,
were persistent rumors that General
villa would leave Chihuahua Monday
night for the south and that an early
attack on Torreon might be expected
Angeles is one of the most expert
artillerymen in Mexico and was espe
cially requested by General Villa to
forsake his political and administra
tive duties to command the big gun
arm of the service In the Impending
attack on Torreon.
That General Villa purposes an early
move received additional credence
w hen It became known that George C.
Carothers. special agent for the state
department, said he expected to leave
for Chihuahua In a day or two. Ca
rothers Is an old friend of the rebel
general and his particular though un
official duty Is to look to the Inter
ests of foreigners In places where
there are no regular consuls.
Those familiar with Villa’s methods
say he will not begin the actual at
tack on Torreon until every detail of
preparation has been Inspected per
sonally and myth he has thoroughly
surveyed the positions of his troops
and the ground over which they must
fight.

SUNDAY. MARCH 15.
Latest Declaration of Rebel
Chieftain Reqardinq Policy to
Permit U. S. Consuls to Act
For Citizens of Other Powers
Discussed
VIOLATES THE COMITY OF
NATIONS AND DISREGARDS
INTERNATIONAL USAGE
Sec’y Bryan Denies Any Knowl
edge of Shipment of Arms For
the American Embassy in
City of Mexico.
Washlnutor. D. C. —The dectarsnlon
of General Carranza, outlining his policy
as to th* right of American consuls In
northern Mexico to act for citizens ot
other powers, was transmitted prompt
ly to the various powers today by dip-
Ir.mstic representatives In Washington.
Kmhassy and legation officials com
mented on the Carranza note only In
general terms. One fact Is evident—
that the United States cannot continue
to accept his views, defiance of Car
ranza'S refusal to listen to representa
tions on the old basis. They feel that
thete is no warrant of law for allowing
fnlted States ronsuls to accept cre
dentials also from foreign governments,
as seems to be required by Carranza
even If the various governments were
willing to bestow such powers.
Starts for Chihuahua.
General Carranza has cut himself off
from communication by starting on
horseback with his staff across the
mountains of Chihuahua for the capital
of that state. It will be nearly two
weeka before he reaches Ida destina
tion and It Is assumed at the state De
partment that no change In the status
of foreigners In northern Mexico Is like
ly In the Immediate future.
department officials feel that General
Cnrranza's declaration marks a change
In Ids first uncompromising attitude and
that when he reaches Chihuahua he will
he ready to concede to the United
Sta'es the right to look after foreign In
terests in the country controlled liy the
Constitutionalists without the limita
tions Imposed In today's declaration of
policy.
For Next Fortnight.
For the next fortnight, at least, the
old practice probably will be followed,
and the state department will continue
to protest against any maltreatment of
fore gners or injury to their properties;
while, on the other hand. Carranza >r
his agents, without accepting these pro
tests or representations as official w'!l
note them as matters of information on
which cases will bp Inx-estlgated as It
they had been reported by Mexican of
ficials. This situation will obtain, haw*
ever, only tn localities where foreign
g vermnonts have no consuls.
It Is believed that In other eases the
various governments will accept/'Gene ,1
Carranza's suggestion and allow t“
consuls to do business with him on a
unofficial basis, which wld not carry
with It political recognition. It ts re
called that this was done by Europe
In the confederate states during the
War Between the States.
Bid for Recognition.
“Carranza's note is a plain bid for
recognition hy this government as well
ns tiy other governments," declared
Senator Fall, of New Mexico. In a state
ment today. "In refusing to accept the
representations of American consuls re
specting the Interests of foreigners
whose Interests the I’ntted States has
asked Its consuls to conserve. Carranza
violates the comity of nations. It ts a
noted peculiarly of Mexico In its dis
regard of International usage.”
Secretary Bryan today denied knowl
edge of a shipment of arms consigned
tn the American embassy tn the City of
Mexico, and reported to have been de
tained.

Which Began By Pulling Men

Terre Haute, Ind. —A strike of union
street ear employes here tonight de
veloped riots which the police were
powerless to stop. Cries of "strike
drew crowds to the streets which be
gan by pulling conductors and motor
men from street cars, then turned to

Alter breaking the windows out ot
a dozen cars stalled In the business
district because of cut trolley fopes,
the mob, which had grown to a crowd
oT more than 2.000, moved to the trac

streets. Leaders then entered the
building and wrecked the interior.
From the terminal the crowd head
