ACCUSED OF LOBBYING
Mr. Byrnes Resented What He
Called "Insinuations" as to
Legislative Work
Washington, D. C.. May 12.—The
New York. New Haven and Hartford
Railroad was connected with lobbying
against the provision of the Panama
canal act prohibiting railroad-owned
ships from passing through the canal,
according to testimony at the hearing
to-day into the New Haven s afTalrs by
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
Timothy E. Byrnes, former vice
president of the New Haven, testified
that SI,OOO paid to Clarence W.
DeKnight, a Washington lawyer, by
ex-Rear Admiral F. T. Bowles, presi
dent of the Fore River Shipbuilding
Company, for services in connection
with the Panama legislation, in reality
came from the New Haven treasury.
The Senate lobby investigating com
mittee recently had DeKnight and
Bowles before it with relation to the
transaction, but the New Haven's con
nection was not then brought out.
Mr. Byri\es resented what he called
"insinuations" in the queries as to
legislative work. He also said many
slurs had been cast in other quarters
and before being excused made a
statement. In which he snid that when
he took up the New Haven's work in
Boston he adopted a positive rule to
"cut out" anything in the wav of
illegal expenditures in legislation mat

Rebels May Not Attempt
to Stand at Saltillo
I Torreon. Mexico, May 12.—Should
Tampico fall into the hands of the
Constitutionalists, and rumors that
this already has happened have
reached Torreon, military leaders here
believe that the federal forces at Sal
tillo wll not .deem it advisable to de
fend that point. It is thought that the
federals will fall back on San Luis
Potosi or somo point even farther
south.
With Tampico occupied by the Con
stitutionalists under Generals Gonzales
and Caballero, it is pointed out that
the garrison of Saltillo would be abso
lutely cut off from support. No rein
forcements, ammunition or provisions
could reach them. To the south, along
their only possible route of retreat, is
250 miles of sun-blistered desert, af
fording assistance to neither man nor
beast. Retreat through this waste by
several thousand disorganized men un
do Jbtedly would mean terrific loss of
life.

Mexicans and Yankees
Strengthening Their
Lines About Vera Cruz
fly Associated Press
Vera Cruz, May 12.—While the
Mexican commissioners are enroute
to attend the Niagara Falls, Canada,
peace conference and during the ses
sions of the conference, there will he
no inauguration of hostilities by the
American forces here, and there is no
reason to believe that ;he Mexican
Federals will advance their lines.
The recent charge by General Blan
quet that the Americans were break
ing the armistice caused General
Funston to confer with his legal ad
visser. Colonel Porter. General Fun
ston and Colonel Porter agreed that
while actualy no armistice exists,
there is a tacit understanding that
neither side will Inaugurate hostilities.
So ar as this agreement affects the
movements of troops within their own
lines, General Funston and Colonel
Porter declared that both the Mex
ican and American forces had the
right. It is expected that President
Huerta will move some of the Mexican
troops towards the coast and behind
the American lines such minor
changes o position as are required will
continue to be made. The interpreta
tion placed upon the agreement by-
General Funston and Colonel Porter
would permit of unlimited strength
ening of both the Mexican and Ameri
can forces co long as no advance was
made.
Some Changes Made
Elight alterations were made to
di •• in the position of the American
forces to which the Mexican authori
ties might find objection but which
are regarded by General Funston and
Colonel Porter as justified beyond any
question of dispute. At the Tajar wa
ter works station there was a de
tached outpost. Between >v ils post,
and the main body of troops there
were only connecting posts, but on
account of the absolutely necessity
of protecting the water supply of Vera
Cruz patrols were ordered to be
placed all along the pipe line.

thereby protected from the lire of the
Mexican troops. Upon qur advance to
ward the terminal, wot got a heavy
fire from the Cortell Tower and sev
eral other tall buildings. The Mexi
cans were using Mauser llat-nosed bul
l»s and machine guns, when the Flor
ida artillery got orders to destroy the
tower, which was done by our two tieid
guns. As soon as the Prairie saw what
we were shooting at, she opened up at
close range with five 3-inch sheels and
she made the dust fly; every shot was
ait, as it was adlmost pointblank range
of 1200 yards.
"By this time the Mexican army had
wormed its way down side streets, In
dian fashion, and taken every place of
vantage on all tall house tops. This
made our further advance impossible
without a heavy loss of life, and, con
sequently, the Utah reinforced at 2
p. m. Then, after some heavy firing,
we got a good foothold, taking the
terminal, post .office and police sta
tion without, as yet, the loss of a man
killed and only about ten wounded.
We were now being fired up by the
police and civilians and we were leav
ing an awful trail of death in our
wake. As nearly all the Mexicans
were armed we had nothing to do but
shoot them and ask questions after
ward. Just to show bow mean they
are. a Mexican millionaire who wan
entertained several times aboard our
ship and was at our church services
on Easter Sunday, sat on his front
porch reading a newspaper, with a
Colt automatic in his hand, firing each
time one of our boys came within his
range, and as there was so much
shooting going on, one could not tell
where it was from, as he was using
smokeless powder. Finally, he was
suspected, field glasses were put on
him and after he had been warned
that if we saw a shot come from his
house we would butcher him, it was
only a few seconds that two men were
sent around the corner to draw his
fire. Our glasses showed that he tired
and the sharpshooters who had been
placed to watch him let him have it.
He lived two days. Other Mexicans
laid around in the streets pretending
to be dead and giving it to us that
way, hut after we got on the house
tops we had a great sport watching for
these tricks and picking off the easy
ones.
The First Man Falls
"Our men got possession of the popt
office building and then a small-sized
scrap was started with the Federal
troops on the Delegencia Hotel about a
block away. It was here we lost the
first man of the day, A. Ponsett, of
Philadelphia, shot in the top of the
head. Shumaker, in charge of a squad,
was picked off about an hour later,
he having gone out into the middle of
the street purpose to draw the enemy's
fire.
"We gradually closed down the
firing, but the Mexicans kept it up all
that night. Our reinforcements arriv
ed during the night, and early morn
ing saw 5,000 men ashore with the
Chester and her five-Inch guns in the
inner harbor close to shore, command
ing the entire water front. The Florida,
Utah and Prairie were now allowed ti>
keep what they had and only had to
deal with snipers. Our boys had no
sleep for thirty-six hours, and all that
time carried sixty pounds on their
backs. Karly in the morning I was
awakened by a large gun, and rushing
