BY LEASED WIRE WASHINGTON, May 14. General Carranza has notified the state department that the United States can seatt representatives to the oil districts to look out for American interests there. Announcement of Carranza's action was made at the White House today. He granted a special request sent to him from Washington and President Wilson expressed his pleasure over the answer from the Constitutionalist leader. When receiving the delegation of oil men yesterday who- called at the White House to protest against the iieglect shown by the United States towards the owners of these properties. President Wilson gave assurances that as soon as Tampico was in the hands of the Constitutionalists, he would make special efforts to have the oil properties protected.

As a special favor to the United States, Carranza agreed to let unarmed civilians take charge of the properties.

lice Commissioner Dougherty prior to his arrest. Mr. Manton objected, but the court supplied the gap by saying that it already appeared from the record that the witness, at the time of the Dougherty story, had not decided to tell the truth. Searches Into Affidavit. The district attorney also sought to show why Rose had made a false affidavit in which he personally assumed the responsibility for the loan with which to start his gambling house. '"I did not dictate that affidavit; it was drawn up by Attorney Hart," said Rose. "I asked him to wait until the following day, but he said it was very important to get it now. I asked him what the affidavit would contain and he outlined it to me. Mr. Hart wrote out the affidavit, read the contents to Jne, and asked me to swear to it in the Presence of a notary public, which I did." Rose was excused after a brief re-cross-examination, during which nothing important was brought out. The case then halted while District Attorney Whitman awaited the arrival of 'Bridgie" Webber. Webber Fears Assassination. Nattily garbed but visibly nervous, 'Bridgie" Webber took the stand and repeated the story of the gambler's assassination. Webber's actions today were in marked contrast with those at the first trial when he calmly backed up the story of the assassination plot as told by "Bald Jack" Rose. Today he was nervous and twisted about in his chair as he was questioned by District Attorney Whitman. The witness has been marked for & lath by his former friends of the unJ rworld and he fears assassination at ei'ery turn. As he testified today his eyes shifted back and forth over the crowded court room, apparently on the lookout for any foe who might be lurking there. Webber's testimony opened with questions that brought out the fact that he had abandoned the occupation of poker room owner for that of manufacturer of paper boxes. Webber testified that Rose introduced him to Becker and that the latter frequented his (Webber's) poker room. Then came the description of the plot to "get" Rosenthal. Meets Conspirators. "I was standing in front of my place one night when Sam Schepps came over and said that Becker wanted to Bee me at 124th street and Seventh avenue. This was about three weeks before Rosenthal was killed." "Whom did you see there?" ".lack Rose, Becker, Harry Vallon and Schepps. I heard Becker say to Rose and Vallon: 'The is go ing all the way. He has been to McAdoo; he has been to Waldo and is trying to make connections with the mayor. He is also trying to get to the district attorney.' " "Did you have any conversation with him alone?" "Yes. He took me aside and said: 'Bridgie, will you see the boys and the fixed?' I said, 'Do you mean to have him croaked?' and he said. 'yes.'. I said. 'That's pretty serious business,' and he said, 'A whole lot of people will suffer if he is not croaked.' "Then I said, 'All right. Charlie, if you feel that way about it, I will see the boys and attend to the matter.' " "What did you do on the night of July 15, 1912?" Sees Murdered Man. "I went to a prize fight at Madison Square Garden. 1 left about 12:15 o'clock on the morning of July 16 and went to my poker room at Forty-second street and Sixth avenue. I found Jack Rose, Harry Vallon. Sam Schepps, Iefty Ixmis, Gyp the Blood, Whitey Lewis and Dago Frank there. They were eating and drinking. Somebody asked me to go to the Metropole hotel and see if Rosenthal was there. I left, went to the Metropole. saw Rosenthal sitting at a table with a number of friends. I then returned to my poker room and the four boys and Harry Vallon went out, got into Shapiro's car and went around to the Metropole. I walked around. When I arrived at the Metropole I saw the body of Rosenthal lying on the sidewalk. I waited around for a while."

EARLHAM SENDS SWEEPING INVITATION TO ORATORICAL AND HOMECOMING FRIDAY

Indiana educators from all the colleges in the state have been invited to attend the Inter-State oratorical contest and the Earlham college annual home-coming celebration which will be held Friday, Saturday and Sunday of this week. Plans are being made for an elaborate observance of the reunion of alumni and entertaining hundreds of guests. Numerous letters have been mailed to all alumni and many have signified their intention of attending. The reunion last year was marked by the visit of the noted statesman "Uncle" Joe Cannon and hundreds pf the formerly Lindley hall trodders. It is quite probable that the former politician will be unable to attend as he is now visiting in the east. Probably the largest affair in public speaking circles will be the inter-state oratorical contest in which representatives of nine states will participate. Lawrence Bridge, of Butler college, Indiana's representative in the fray

will be accompanied by a delegation of

Butler students and will also receive

the support of all Indiana students at

tending the evening's speaking. Mr. Bridge will speak on the subject.

"Solving the Problems of World Fed

eration." The grading of the manuscripts eliminated Illinois and Minnesota

speakers and if the charges of plag-

arism against the Missouri orator, are

substantiated that state will be elim

inated from the contest.

j A Message to Thin,

Weak, Scrawny oiks An Easy Way to Gain 10 to 30 Lbs. of Solid, Healthy, Permanent Flesh. Thin, nervous, undeveloped men and women everywhere are heard to say, "I can't understand why I do not get fat. 1 eat plenty of good, nourishing food." The reason is just this: You cannot get fat, no matter how much you eat, unless your digestive organs assimilate the fat-making elements of your food instead of passing them out through the body as waste. What is needed is a means of gently urging the assimilative functions of the stomach and intestines to absorb the oils and fats and hand them over to the blood, where they may reach the starved, shrunken, run-down tissues and build them up. The thin person's body is like a dry sponge eager and hungry for the fatty materials of which it is being deprived by the failure of the alimentary canal to take them from the food. The best way to overcome this sinful waste of flesh building elements and to stop the leakage of fats is to use Sargol, the recently discovered regenerative force that is recommended so highly by physicians here and abroad. Take a little Sargol tablet with every meal and notice how quickly your cheeks fill out and rolls of firm, healthy flesh are deposited over your body, covering each bony angle and projecting point. Your druggist has Sargol, or can get it from his wholesaler, and will refund your money if you are not satisfied with the gain in weight it produces as stated on the guarantee in each package. It is inexpensive, easy to take and highly efficient. Caution: While Sargol has produced remarkable results in overcoming nervous dyspepsia and general stomach troubles, it should not he taken nnless you are willing to gain ten pounds or more, for tt s a wonderful flesh-builder. Leo H. Flhe.

will sing for the contest. The Richmond high school orchestra will give a short concert before the contest and during the intermission. The contest will be held in the Coliseum which is being decorated with school pennants of all the institutions represented. A glance at the list of contestants show that most of the speakers represent the secondary and smaller colleges of their state. For the alumni of Earlham and the visiting students there will be a reception honoring those contesting in the interstate oratorical contest following the speaking Friday night This reception will take place in the lobby of the Westcott hotel and is being sponsored by the officials of the oratorical association and the Earlham students. The Butler college delegation from Indianapolis will in all probability be the largest to attend the contest. Lawrence Bridge, the Indiana representative, is from that school and a large following will make the trip in his behalf. The Earlham students will fall in line supporting Bridge, the state representative. Prominent among the homecoming activities is the social at the college Saturday night. Hundreds of former students have been informed of the annual gathering of alumni and the present students are expecting to entertain the "grads" elaborately. Saturday will also be the scene of the Rose Poly-Earlham track and field meet. This event attracts many of the old Yellow and White athletes, as the Terre Haute aggregation is an old rival of the Quakers.
