liOPEITl MIXES Bl YOUTH WASHINGTON, June 27. Alfreds Breeeda, private secretary of General Carranza, leader of the revolutionist forces in Mexico, issued a statement here tonight charging that General Felipe Angeles had stirred vp the recent contention between Carranza and General Villa and that Angeles wa? in reality an agent General Huerta. Rreceda's statement, issued after a long conference with Luis Cabrera, one General Carranza 's representatives here, who is earnestly work ins tor participation of the Constitutionalists in an informal peace conference with delegates to the Niagara Falls peace conference, admits a breach in the Constitutionalist ranks that probably cannot be healed unless mediation should succeed. Villa Always Loyal The Breeeda statement, in full, follows: "Public opinion in the United States has been greatly misled in the matter of the attitude of General Villa toward Mr. CaTranza and.consequently.

I find it necessary, in view of the knowledge and direct acquaintance that I have of the facts, to isue a statement in order to make known the real situation of the Constitutionalist leader ship. "The troubles betweeu Yilia and Carranza have not all the importance that has been supposed and can be when the real causes of the break become knowm. Villa, who had been the leader showing the most spirit and vmdktiveness in the war asamst Huerta, had appeared always in an entirely subordinate character to Carranza and entirely submissive to Carranza spite of persistent attempts made to make him appear as holding personal ambitions and as disloyal toward I arranza. Angeles Once Under Huerta "Villa always had continued being lyal toward arranza and had it not been tor the interference of Felipe Angeles, who is the chief author of the happenings occurring lately, there reer won id have been any differences. Whenever the insubordination of Villa i spoken cf we ought to say the insubordination of An- geies.

"General Angeles was a commander in the Federal army; he was sent on a mission to Europe by Huerta; he stayed there until October, he then asked to join' the ranks and the of the Constitutionalist army. AngeW was accepted. He received money for his family and for his trip, lie was welcomed by Mr. Carranza, who, in view of Angeles being a technical military man. ap- pointed him sub-Se ret arc of Ins War Department.

His- nomination was well accepted by the revolutionary leaders, a3 they considered him enti't-ly educated in politics under the Federal ideas. As a matter of fact, he abvays tried to keep apart from Mr. Can ana and the revolutionary leaders."

The temperature. hich had paused at 8I degrees at half- past 2 o'clock, fell rapidly, until at o'clock in the evening the thermometer registered 74 degrees. The fury with which the storm raged or almost a half hour after it broke resulted in considerable damage throughout the sections where rain fell.

While in some parts of Philadelphia rain fell in torrents in other districts the sun was shining. By far the most serious accident which marked the storm was the destruction bv fire of a trolley car, crowded with pas sengers, which was struck by lightning at Thirteenth and Shunk streets. The crash as the bolt, drawn by the pole, struck the top of the car and tore a great noie in tne ceiling, drove the women rid ers in the vehicle into hysterics. Many of the passengers were slightly stunned by the electric shock. Rush for Doors As flames burst from the shattered roof of the car, men and women joined in a rush for the The car was of the pay-as-you enter type, and motor-man and conductor threw onen Vinth exits.

One or two of the passengers were swept from their feet and ilmn, the steps, sustaining slight ininncs but the majority s-ecaped with nothing more serious than bruises or scratches. The majority of the passengers were work men trom the League Island shops, homeward bound. By the time fire engines arrived, the entire car, with the exception of the trucks and metal portions, had been consumed by the flames. Traffic was held up for. half an hour, and hundreds who relied on the Thirteenth street line to get to their homes were forced to walk through the rain.

Five Die of Heat Several other accidents occurred while the storm was at its height. But as a. dispeller of the terriitic heat caused five deaths and many prostrations during the forenoon and noon periods, the storm was welcomed by the city.

by the Xew Vork Herald Company. All riqhtg reserved. NEW YORK, June clear and convincing of the accuracy of this summing up of the revolutionary situation in Mexico in its broader meaning has come to The Inquirer and Herald. This proof is found in a mass of what may be termed the "inside correspondence" of the revolutionary junta at Washington, showing as this does, the close touch which the Constitutionalist leaders have had and have maintained with certain "big interests" in the United States. This correspondence consists of original letters and telegrams, of copies of letters and telegrams, of original manuscript from which Spanish translations for transmission to General Venustiano Carranza, first chief of the Constitutionalist organization, have been made, and copies of these translations.

The original documents were prepared, by Captain Sherburne G. Hopkins, who may be described as American adviser of the revolution, although the documents themselves indicate very clearly that Captain Hopkins has not confined his activities to advice, or rather that his advice has not been confined to General Venustiano Carranza, A large portion of the correspondence finds Captain Hopkins in the role of adviser to Henry Clay Pierce, and in that of one advised by Pierce. It shows Captain Hopkins in what may be termed intimate touch with Charles R. Flint, and there is not lacking indications that Mr. Flint has been and is in close touch with Henry Clay Pierce.

It shows that Henry Gay Pierce has been brought in close touch with such well-known revolutionary leaders as Luis Cabrera, Rafael Zubaran Jose Vas-concelos and that at least one of these gentlemen has received money from Henry Clay Pierce. These three lieutenants of General Venustiano Carranza have had particularly to do with the railway sit- CAPT. SHELBURNE G. HOPKINS uation in northern Mexico. Henry Clay Pierce, as the correspondence chows, is deeply interested in the railway situation in that same territory.

Fate in "Big Business" Hands It may be mere coincidence, but it is highly interesting that the three men who have close direct touch with Henry Clay Pierce in the consideration of the problem of Mexican railway are the same three supposed to have been designated by General Venustiano Carranza as his representatives to confer with the representatives of the Mexico City government now at Niagara Falls, Ont. In the correspondence alluded to the allegation is made that Messrs. Elguero, Rodriguez and Rabass, the three delegates representing the Mexico City government, are in reality representatives of the Cowdray interests in Mexico. If this is true, the interesting spectacle ie presented of the fate- of the Mexico people being in the hands of "big: business" on both sides of the theoretical line that separates the factions in Mexico, making war upon each other. Peon But a Pawn One way or the other the poor peon is but a pawn in the game of "big business." The Mexicans who have lost life and and property and all they hold dear in this revolution have been pawned in the game.

The Americans and other foreigners who have been killed; the Americans and other foreigners who have lost all their property and have been pauperizedthese, too, have been pawns in the game. Governments have occupied similarly humiliating positions. In his effort to bring about a pacification of Mexico through mediation and dipjomacy President Wilson has been thwarted by these outside influences that have united to prevent General Venustiano Carranza acceding to the efforts of the President of the United States. Peace apparently car! only be brought about upon terms dictated by "big business." Despite all the efforts that have been made to bring about a peaceful solution of the Mexican situation there can be no blinking the fact that the United States is on the verge of war with Mexico.

STAMFORD, June 27. Two prominent men stand suspected this afternoon of having knowledge of the murder of Waldo R. Ballou, retired Councilman and wealthy contractor, the police and city prot-ecutor having announced definitely that the case was one of murder and that one of the men had been warned not to leave the city. Developments in the mystery have been rapid in the last twenty-four hours, and the name of a man even more prominent than Ballou has been drawn into the investigation of the tragedy at the home of Mrs. Helen M.

Angle, the dead man's intimate friend. Mr. Ballou, the night preceding his death, was seen at the Stamford railroad station in company of a man, the police learned. It was reported that this man was one of the two under surveillance. It was added that Mr.

Ballou told an acquaintance he was waiting at thia station for Mrs. Angle. Private Detectives Hired So complicated has the case become that the Stamford detectives have found themselves too hampered by widespread acquaintance to do effective work, and as a result private detectives of an international agency have been hired. Floyd Blondel. father of Mrs.

Angle, has re tained detectives of a rival agency. When the name of one prominent resi dent wa drawn into the case the City Prosecutor, Albert R. Phillips, and the nolice cbief. Thomas R. Brennan, called the State's Attomev, Homer S.

Cum mings, to Stamford to take charge of the case. Mr. Cummings inspected the place where Mr. Ballou was found dying and heard the evidence. He then expressed his positive belief that Ballou was murdered and not the victim of a fall down stairs or any similar accident.

That an arrest would follow seemed cer tain when it became known that detec tivee were watching the men under suspicion. One man was said to be' an in fluential politician and the other a business man. The Police Theory The appearance of the State Attorney here was followed by rumors that the police had finally decided that Mr. Ballou wa3 murdered and that they bad obtain- or! evidence hat a man was tne anart ment the night Mr. Ballou suffered his iniuries.

According to the police, this other man appeared on the scene a minute after a passerby had found Mr. Ballou outside of the Rippowan Building and that he displayed an effort to convince the police that Mr. Ballou must have fallen and received his injuries in this way. Some of his actions at that time, the police say now, have compromised him and add to their conviction that ne mnictea tne in in rips. Tt.

is the belief of the authorities today that Mr. Ballou went from Mrs. Angle's apartment for a few minutes and that upon his return he found the other man there and that a heated controversy ensued. Blows, it is believed, were then struck and the other man, a fit great anger, seized a flatiran and brought ifl down on Mr. Ballou's skull with suffi cient force to cause a fracture.

Think Flask Was "Planted" The whisky flask found in the pocket of Mr. Ballou and his eyeglasses, which were discovered in a box in the rear ot the apartments of Mrs. Angle, are to play important parts in the investigation. Mr. Cummings and Chief of Police Brennan and Mr.

Phillips believe the whisky bottle was placed in Mr. Ballou's pocket after he had been struck to indicate that he had beer, intoxicated and to strengthen the belief that he fell while in a state of inebriation. The police are trying to ascertain where the bottle was purchased and who purchased it. Mr. Ballou, it is contended, seldom drank and certainlv was never known, even bv his intimate friends, to have carried a flask of whisky in his pocket.

It is admitted that when Mrs. Angle is called to the witness stand in the resumption of the inquest Monday that the prosecution, unless other discoveries are made in thet meantime, will question her along the line that a third person was in apartment, WON'T THIS UIEHTS' GUHS HALT WOUN ROBBERY SU 'Man With Thumb Shot i Off Makes Dash for Liberty Found in Rear of Spruce Street Home of George Philler and Battles With Policeman Tprrnrizd hv the ound. in their immediate dert? of the neicliborhood of and SpTtice stieets saiv one tf" initv. rei- TwFrt--firt criminal chases la; I orr-nrred in this city i cincri Kepi up a am.innf- iot tttp than hf een minutes wbile t'ni; pnr-? of an alleged thief ltd over rrwf. and for- es and through yards and a' leys in ntehbirhriod.

Charges lodging against Gillman. who on Friday resigned as a constable and was fined $500 for assaulting a woman, were not presented to the grand jury, and with the closing of the bail courts the prosecution of Magistrate Call's former constable was postponed until next September. Anton K. Abraitis, a saloonkeeper, at 443 Xorth Ninth street, was arrested and arraigned before Magistrate Pennock, in City Hall Police Court, on the strength of the story told to the District Attorney by Dominick Stefron, a cobbler, at 1422 Ridae avenue. The shoemaker said that on June 18, at about 7 P.

he presumably was placed under arrest by Abraitis and Ralph Fisher, and that after being driven about the city and Fairmount Park for several hours he was compelled to pay over a sum of money to the two men. Fisher until a short time ago was on the police force, and while a blueeoat he gloried in the appellation of "soeiety cop." He is now at the head of a private detective agency, and according to Stefron used that connection to "shake him down." A warrant was issued for Fisher's arrest, but it had not been served last night. Abraitis was arraigned on a warrant charging him with impersonating an officer, kidnapping, extortion and conspiracy. The cobbler's allegation is that he virtually was kidnapped and kept out in Abraitis' automobile, later being taken to Fisher's office, at 441 North Ninth street. Saloonkeeper Held The saloon proprietor told Magistrate Pennock his attorney had to be out of the city.

In sending the case to court the magistrate first imposed $1500 bail, but Assistant District Attorney Tau-lane, in charge of the cae, objected and it was finally made $2000. Stefron said that the two men came to his place in a motor car and told him he was under arrest. He had a poor understanding of English, but they conveyed to him. he says, that it was on a warrant for non-support, issued by his wife from whom he had recentlv Separated.
