Sept. 15 All Amerl- 'ean Consuls and American citizens hae ibten ordered out of the States of 'Chihuahua and Sonora, Mexico, tho. States controlled by General Villa. Tho Consuls are ordered to leave by October J. It Is almost certain that this means the United States will recognize Car ranza as in control of most of Mexico.

"Lawle bands are operating In these 'State," It was officially stated, "and -American lives are not safe. The Ameri can consuls are ordered out, but may remain at their own discretion. All American citizens now in those States have Been told to come at once to the United States. General Villa's statement recently that he was not responsible for the kidnapping- of an American in his territory, and that he could not control the lawless bands, precipitated this after noon's action, it was stated. In official circles here the notice to con suls was regarded as highly significant. Because it applies1 only to Villa States. It was declared that this meant ultimate recognition for Carranza.

"We are passing through the greatest crises In tho country's history," said Doc tor Hexamer, in an exclusive Interview granted to the Evenino Ledger, "The times of 1776 are revived. If we go down now we will never attain the commercial supremacy which we must attain. W.e ire just as Isolated as Is England In that t Is Imperative for us to have access to the open seas to trade.

Norrls, well-known banker, former Director of "the Department of Wharves, Docks and Ferries, director of the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadel phia, manager ot the Beneficial Savings Fundof Philadelphia and a director of. the Philadelphia Life Insurance Company, commented this afternoon upon the ap peal telegraphically sent broadcast over the United States by -Dr. Charles J.

Mr. Norrls said: "Doctor Hexamer is probably within his rights In usklng citizens to appeal to the President and the Secretary of State to 'thwart the loan,' but when he asks banking depositors to 'protest against their money being used' he is doing what In point of ethics is exactly on a par with the efforts occasionally made by large advertisers to control the policy of newspapers or the periodical efforts of a certain class of politicians to Influence the political action of bank of ficers by threats of Injury to the busi ness of their Institutions. "From the patriotic point of view, Doc tor Hexamer is endeavoring to prevent the profitable use ot tho accumulating surplus capital of this country in develop ing business with customers who want to buy our cotton, grain, meats, woolen goods, shoes and other manufactured products in large quantities. "This is on a par with the efforts of the Austrian Ambassador to cripple our Industries. We had a remedy against the Ambassador, but I do not know whether the !v law affords any remedy against ;Doctor Hexamer," After making this statement in his of fice In the Bellevue Court Building, Mr. Norrls smilingly added: "That is the plain truth from Truthful James."

Tho conference was marked by near dramatics that promised to develop argu ment, but stopped short of this. It was theatrically "staged," the Rogues' Gal lery of the Camden County Courthouse being filled with detectives, newspaper men and hangers-on, who lined the walls with bated breath when Peterson and the youth faced each other. In sharp contrast to all this careful preparation and expectation, Peterson shuffled into tho room in undershirt and trousers, a cigar in his mouth. Luble, doing his best to appear equally calm and unconcerned, sat on the edge of a table. Peterson walked up to him and held out his hand, remarking: "My, what a gathering!" Luble then said he understood Peter son wanted to ask him some "pointed questions." "Exactly," said Peterson, and the con ference started. County Detective Doran frequently broke In 'to question Peterson or 'Luble. One such , Instance brought the first ap proach to' a clash between the material Witness and the ofllce boy. "What did Peterson say when you tele phoned to him that Cord was dead?" asked J3oran. ' 'He said he'd be down In the morning," answered Luble. "Didn't he express any surprise or sympathy?" Doran asked. "No."" said Luble.
