EXAMINE REQUEST
OF CARRANZA FOR
EASIER PROTOCOL
Insistence on Unconditional
Withdrawal of Pershing
Not as Strong
I Washington. D. C., Deo. 23.—Gen
eral Carranza's latest communication
asking modification of the protocol
! covering withdrawal of American
,troops from Mexico was examined
| closely to-day by Secretary I-ine,
| chairman of the American members
! of the joint commisison, who has sum
; moned his colleagues to confer with
| him as soon as possible. They will de
j clde what answer to give the Mexican
I representatives when another session
1 of the commission is held earlv •• v t
! week. 1 -
Although the document has not been
made public, it was said General Car
ranza's Insistence on the unconditional
retirement of the American forces is
not so strong as formerly, chiefly be
cause of the new militar\ situation in
N'orthern Mexico. Neither does he
flatly repudiate the protocol already
signed by his representatives at At
lantic City. N. J.
Answer Next Week
What answer will be returned to
General Carranza's latest appeal for
modifications in the protocol signed at
Atlantic City will be determined here
Tuesday. On that day the American
members of the Mexican-American
joint commission will meet and con
sider the Mexican communication de
livered yesterday to Secretary Lane by
Luis Cabrera, of tho Mexican commis
sion.
The Mexicans probably will be here
on that day and in the event the
Americans decided Carranza's reply
can be given serious consideration an
Immediate session of the joint com
mission may be held.

The committee also called for further
study of the subject of consolidated
schools, voicing objection to the pres

that township lines be done away with
in school matters; that the State should
pay more of the tuition in township
high schools, and that the school ap
propriation should be increased
Announcement was made that the

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
COX PEOPLE SAY
THEY ARE GAINING
I [Continued From First Page]
It "wns also intimated that Mayor
Smith, of Philadelphia, would bo here
late In the day to consult with the
Governor.
The Cox people have almost gotten
to the point where they will issu
some figures. Representative I. K.
Urlcli, of Lebanon, claimed by the
Baldwin men, was asserted to-day to
be with Cox along with others. The
Cox people announced that a number
of statements of members telling why
they are for the Philadelphian would
be issued.
Baldwin headquarters declined to
make any statement but stood by the
claims of n week ago. Numerous peo
ple called on the ninn from Delaware.
It is understood that the
members will vote for neither Cox
nor Baldwin but will support A. B.
Hess, of 1 .ancaater city.
Tl'.e Philadelphia mercantile ap
prnisershlp took precedence over the
speakership at the Capitol to-da.v and
while the headquarter staff of Edwin
K. Cox's boom conferred with the
Governor, Auditor General and Attor
ney General, the duty of receiving In
coming members was left to the cam
paign committee. Early this after
noon it was stated that no agreement
had been reached on the place which
must be filled within the next two
days.
Auditor General Powell said that
nothing had been done and declined
to make any forecast of what might
be done. He was visited by John J.
Crout, the appraiser whose reap
pointment hangs in the balance and
George F. Holmes, city commissioner.
Meanwhile Congressman Scott, Di
rector Wilson, William E. Finley,
George F. Holmes and others saw
tho Governor in company with Mr.
Brown. They stated when they came
out of the Governor's office that they
were merely talking over things In
general. Tho impression prevails that
an agreement on the vacancy will be
reached to-night.
Cox Gives Out Statement
The Cox campaign committee this
afternoon gave out a statement at
tacking the claims of the Baldwin
people and quoting prominent Pro
gressives and employers as opposing
him. Among tliem are W. W. Kin
cald, Meadville; Thomas A. H. Hay,
Enston traction man; F. S. Stevenson,
Waymart; Dana R. Stephens, big
creamery man in Bradford county; ex-
Congressman E. F. Acheson; Con
gressman D. F. Lafean, York; John
G. Benedict, Waynesboro.
Representative A. D. Miller, of Sus
quehanna, comes out in a strong state
ment as a legislator and Granger In
behalf of Cox.
Appointment of Frank Skinner to
succeed his brother, who died last
week, as county treasurer of Franklin
county, is expected to-day. The ap
pointment will follow a custom of long
standing in that county.
Hope Bond Issue Will
Meet Treasury Deficit
Placed at $180,000,000
Washington, Dec. 29. President
Wilson has tentatively agreed with
administration leaders in Congress on
a bond Issue to meet part of the Treas
ury deficit which confronts the govern
ment for the fiscal year ending June
30, 1918, estimated at about $180,000,-
000. With Secretary McAdoo the
President is working on other plans
for raising additional revenue.
The President ha 3 pointed out that
ho believes a bond issue should be
used only to meet, temporary and
emergency expenditures. Many of
these have been caused bv the Mexican
situation.
The Treasury already has authority
hy previous acts of Congress to issue
Panama bonds and about $240,000,000
of these are available. They would
bear 3 per cent.
Plans for raising the other revenue
are understood to concern the income
tax, an inheritance tax and special
taxes on Internal revenue and im
ports.
The deficit figures differ according
to congressional and administration
viewpoints. Secretary McAdoo esti
mated in his annual report the actual
deficit in the working balance of the
Treasury on June 20, 1918, at
$185,583,000, which accounts for ap
propriations unexpended combined
with the left-over balance.
The congressional appropriations
committee, basing their estimates upon
the actual appropriations without re
gard to whether the executive depart
ments spend all or part of the appro
priations, flguro $313,269,654 as the
deficit.
Want Lawson to "Put Up
or Shut Up" in So-Called
Leak on Peace Note
Washington, D C., Dec. 29.—The
controversy which has followed Con
gressman Wood's resolution for In
vestigation of whether any member
of President Wilson's official family
profited in the stock market because
of "inside information" on the Presi
dent's peace notes got into semiofficial
form to-day when Chairman Henry, of
tho House rules committee, tele
graphed Thomas W. Lawson, of Bos
ton, to come to Washington and sub
stantiate his published statements
that he knew of the so-called leak and
his prediction that there would be an
other.
"Put up or shut up," said Chairman
Henry's telegram. "Cease slandering
and libeling Congress and public of
ficials or make good your charges."
Mr. Henry announced that he would
reintroduce his bill next Tuesday to
the New York Stock Ex
change.
"If Mr. lawson states the truth
about Wall Street and an alleged leak,"
he said, "it conclusively shows that
the bill introduced by me in the Sixty
third Congress to regulate tho New
York ?tock Exchange should be
speedily passed and should even be
made more drastic.
"This short session should find a
way to protect the American people
against such crimes as the one Just
perpetrated by Wall Street, If Mr.
Lawson is anywhere near the truth."
Foreign Holders of
Mexican Concessions Mast
Resign Treaty Rights
Mexico City, Dec. 29. A decree
has been Issued giving foreigners hold
ing title to renl estate, mining and oil
properties and timber lands until
April 15 to resign their treaty rights
Insofar as the properties in question
are concerned.
Formal renunciation of such rights
must be made In accordance with the
decree issued more than four months
ago which provided that such foreign
ers must, in effect, become Mexican
citizens inas-f.tr as their property was
concerned. There is some uncertainty
as to whether the decree is retroactive
and affects present enterprises or onlv
future rights.
