Secretary Bryan has sent a vigorous protect di rect to the Carranza authorities at Tampico against their threat to close the great oil wells in that vicinity because the foreign operators refused to pay a heavy assessment levied by the Mexicans. The matter also has been brought to the attention of Gen eral Carranza himself. Most of the oil plants are owned by American and British capital. There have been several complaints against degrees of the Carranza officials, re ports coming directly from State De partment representatives as well as through the interested foreign embas sies. Latest advices indicated that the Mexicans were preparing summarily to shut down all of the1 plants unless the money demanded was forthcoming. Doubt as to whether General Gutier rez had been continued by the con vention at Mexico City as provisional president, existed today at the State Department. A telegram from Mexico City announced that the chairman of the convention late Tuesday night gave out a notice "that the conven tion had concluded and would continue President Gutierrez in office, "but for some unknown reason the notice was recalled. Denial at "Washington. General Palafox, member of the Gutierrez cabinet, denied in a state ment received at the State Depart ment from Mexico City, that he had any intention, in a previous public state ment, of charging American Consul Silliman and Leon J.

Both houses of the General Assembly had stirring debates over joint resolutions for the lriritatirwn of Rpr-rfitarv of State W. J. Bryan to address the Assembly, Janu ary. 80, and against the precedent of ex tending invitations for any persons to address the Legislature. The Bryan Invitation resolution is ready for rati fication tomorrow, and the resolution against the principle of extending such invitations went to appropriate com mittees for later report and action. Senator W. B. Cooper offered the res olution to invite Bryan in the Senate. It passed without opposition. Then Senator Johnson, of Duplin, moved to reconsider the vote, but this was lost 20 to 19. Then Senator Johnson offered the resolution against the -principle of extending: invitations as opening the way for special pleaders to precure such invitations. It went to commit tee. In the House the Senate resolution in viting Bryan came over and finally passed 72 to 33 after opposition led bj- Hutchinson, of Mecklenburg, and Allen, .of Wayne. A motion by Allen that the vote be incorporated in the in vitation to Bryan was withdrawn. Hut chison offered the resolution against ex tending invitations.

Cable advices to the foreign office today said that load ing of the Hamburg-American steam ship Dacia at Port Arthur, Texas, had been suspended. The hope is enter tained in official circles that the Unit ed States will not permit this former German vessel, validity of whose trans fer to American registry is questioned, to enter the German cotton trade. The Washington suggestion that the Dacia might carry cotton to Rotter dam instead of Bremen is not regarded by British officials as 'off ering a solu tion. The foreign office is not disposed to decide precisely what action will be taken until it is known positively that the Dacia has sailed for Germany un der the American flag. Even then it is probable, a prominent official intimat ed, that her cargo would be permitted to reach its destination, but the vessel detained, if the facts in connection with her sale are as reported here. Other Vessels Released. 1 The foreign office announced today that the Swedish vessels Canton and New Sweden, from New York for Go thenburg, had been released.

Fire which destroyed a warehouse owned by M." P. Braswell here last night for a time threatened to destroy the en tire town. The flames were confined to the warehouse after considerable cf fort.: The loss is estimated at about New York, Jan. 14. Assertions that 1 changes made by the present Washing ton administration in the personnel of this government's officials in the Do minican Republic were due to the in fluence of interests seeking to exploit that country's finances were made to day at the inquiry conducted by Senator-elect Phelan, of California, to de termine whether James M. Sullivan, the 'American minister, is fit to hold his post. Secretary of State Bryan was' accus ed of lendingear in appointing Sulli van, to the Samuel M. Jarvis coterie of New York financiers who controlled the Banco Nacional at Santo Domingo. This institution, was alleged to have been an institution without standing on the to obtain tne t deposit of customs duties, wnose col lection is administered by the United States and other government funds. William E. Pulliam, receiver general of the customs at Santo Domingo dur ing the Taft administration, testified that F. J. R. Mitchell, president of the Banco Nacional, had published in a Do minican newspaper that W. T. b. .uouie, viMri of the department of Latin-Amer ican affairs in the State Department, had been removed on complaint of Mitchell and that Mitchell subsequent ly had said to him: "I told you so. There'll be several other changes and they'll "extend to Santo Domingo." Bfaltes Second Forecast. In June, 1913, Mitchell came to him again, he said, and told him that Rus sell, American minister under Taft, was not Returning. "He told me," the witness testified, "that if I were a good guesser he'd tell me the name of the next minister. It ends with an 'N he said." That Secretary Bryan at that time had a high opinion-of Sullivan was evidenced by a letter placed on the record by Walter, W. s Vick, who suc- Five European Xationa Active Buyers on Chicago Market England Has Only 60-Day Supply.

Pulliam further testified that he had warned Assistant Secretary of State Osborne in July 1913 "under no circum stances to have anything to do with the Banco Nacional crowd" and had ex plained the character of the institution to him, and that it was seeking to ex ploit Dominican finances. "I was surprised and incensed," he said, "that such a coterie got to Bry an's ear. I was sorry to see the re ceivership of customs made the sub ject of political exploitation. For eight years .the receivership ,had been operated without trouble and the diffi culties that later arose were unques tionably caused by Sullivan's trans ferring the funds to the Banco Na cional. That was what they wanted. They had no funds. They wanted to establish credit for themselves. The bank was a joke." . Funds Were Transferred. Pulliam said he had no doubt that the 'Jarvis interests were responsible for his removal. It developed, accord ing to the testimony that the customs funds eventually were transferred to the Michelena bank, the original de positary, an institution supposed to represent the National city aanK, or New York, and in this connection Pul liam said that on July 16th in company with Senator Chamberlain, of Oregon, he saw Secretary Bryan in Washington. 'This is what Mr. Bryan told the senator," testified the witness. " 'My objection to Pulliam is that ho was entirely too friendly with Miche lana.' "I said: . 'Now that your administra tion has been forced to put back the funds into the Miohelana bank, don't you think I have been vindicated?' "He evaded the question."

Generally accept ed assertions that unless the European demand soon diminishes the United States would have no wheat to ship abroad after March lifted the price of that cereal here to $1.43 3-8, the high est in many years. Retail flour prices rose simultaneously, sacks which re cently sold for 70 cents going to 90 cents.

TO ELECT SUCCESSOR TO SUPERINTENDENT COLE. Trustees of Methodist Orphanage to Meet January 21st. (Special Star Correspondence.) Raleigh, N. C, Jan. 14. Chairman Joseph G. Brown, of tne board of trus tees of the North Carolina Methodist Orphanage, has called a meeting of the board to be held in this city January 21 for the purpose more especially of selecting a new superintendent to suc ceed Dr. J. N. Cole, who died recently in a Charlotte hospital. It is understood that there are just one more candidates for the position being especially mentioned than there are members of the board of trustees so that every member can advocate a different candidate and still there will be one to spare.. Rome, Jan. 15. Demolished or part ly demolished towns dot Italy from Naples northward to Ferrara. and crosswise the peninsula from Tyrrhen ian to the Adriatic sea, over which Wednesday's earthquake passed. Thousands of dead lie beneath the debris of dwellings, churches and pub lic institutions which crumbled under the earth's vibrations. Not even an estimate of the aggre gate fatalities is obtainable as numer ous places are still isolated owing tt the severance of telegraphic, telephon ic and railroad communication. It is known, however, that Avezzano is a necropolis andthat also in Sora, some 25 miles to the'' southeast, a large num ber of lives were lost. In Avezzano and vicinity it is esti mated that 15,000 perished and that the dead in Sora will total 1,000. So far as known about 20 tons have been completely levelled, while almost an equal number suffered serious dam age. In all these places many were killed or injured. Volunteers worked heroically all day endeavoring to extricate wounded or rescu"e the dead from ruins. King Victor Emmanuel himself di rected the work at Avezzano where the piteous appeals of persons caught be-, neath wreckage could be plainly heard., ( - Hundreds - Buried :.AUv4 It is estimated that in Avezzano 400," persons are buried alive, some of them school children in an institution which collapsed. Only four soldiers of the garrison of 400 in Avezzano escaped when the bar racks fell. Sora with its population of 20,000 was almost entirely destroyed. All municipal and government authorities perished. Four hundred and fifty bodV ies already have been taken from the ruins there and a large number of in jured are under treatment. Trains from the east are bringing hundreds of injured into Rome, where they are being taken to hospitals and private homes for treatment. Surgeons and nurses are being dispatched from all directions into the stricken dis tricts to minister to the needs of the injured, while troops are being sent to the ruined or damaged towns to guard against vandals. Among the towns which are said to have been virtually destroyed are Avez zano, Sora, Capelle, Magliano, Marse, Massadalbe, Collarmele, Gerehio, Cela no, Lelli, Patrerno, San Felino, Giosa marsi, ScurcOla, Capistrello. Antrosa no and Castronovme, while Pescina, Ortonamarsl, Samtellmo, San Benedet to, Artucchio, Cocullo, Besigna, Balso rano, Canlstro, Civitellandantino, Caa tellafiuml, Pagliotra and Sorbo are badly damaged. From many other places come re ports of slighter damage and minor casualties. Death's Toll Increases. The toll of dead and. Injured in th great earthquake which has swept over central and southern Italy, has not been made up, but advices reach ing Rome indicate the ever-growing extent of the disaster. Towns with its inhabitants have been overthrown and from some of these come details which show an immense loss of life. Estimates ran tonight from 25,000 to 50,000 dead and Injured and yet there are several sections which undoubtedly felt the earthquake in full measure from which no esti mates can be obtained. In the ancient territory of Marsi, which includes Avezzano the victims are placed at 20,000. Only a small min ority is left of the inhabitants of Av ezzano who numbered approximately 10,000. Fifteen other towns and villages in that section have been laid waste. King Victor Emmanuel is at Avezzano and 30,000 soldiers have been dispatched to various centers where the force of the disturbance was greatest. Whole Nation Aids. Italy as a nation has arizen again give succor, as Bhe did at the time the Messina earthquake six years ago, to those who have fallen in this latest catastrophe from which the country has suffered. While the greater part of the dam age was done by the first earthquake which occurred Wednesday morning at 7:55 there has been at least one severe shock since then which resulted in the collapse of many structures which es caped the first and it is estimated that more than one hundred shocks, for the most part of amino r nature occurred during the 24 hours after the disaster.
