Captain Von Papen, recalled German military at tache, left New York today for Rot terdam on the steamer Noordam, bearing safe conduct to Germany from the entente allies. Before departing Captain Von Pa pen issued a final statement to the American people. He said: , "In leaving this country where 1 have received so many proofs of kindness and hospitality from Amer icans and others. I deem It my duty to thank all who have not permitted their friendly personal feelings to become poisoned by the hatred cre ated by the war of nations. ". "My thoughts turn back to those unforgettable days when I had the good fortune to spend some time with the American troops at Vera , .Crui, where I learned to admtre the splen did soldierly qualities and devotion to duty of the United States army. "Personally I could speak of no greater satisfaction than the fulfill ment of the ardent desire to be called home where soldiers are far more urgently needed than here. 'I am leaving with a feeling of bit terness, because I know too well that when history Is written it will estab lish clearly the records of these times, despite the misrepresentations and calumnies that have been spread broadcast. "The New York World, which cer tainly cannot be open to the suspicion of harboring friendly feelings for my country, stated very fairly when dis cussing my recall that 'now that the matter is settled, the fact should be emphasized' that the state department had brought no charges against Cap tains Hoy-ed and Von Papen which reflected In the slightest degree on their honor as officers. "Certain papers had made reek- less charge which could not be sup ported by evidence, but the United States government never Intimated that it believed these charges to be American Troops Ordered To Return Mexican Firing -a-i fc rr Gen.

American troops at El Paso, the war department has announced, have been given or ders to return vigorously any further deliberate firing from the Mexican side of the border, f General Pershing, In command of the American troops at El Paso re ported that the firing which resulted late yesterday in the death , of an American car Inspector, was the delib erate act of a squad of Mexicans who appeared a half mile east of the inter ntlonal bridge, Mexican troops were reported to have advanced covering the whole river front. During tho rioting at Juarez, reports said, there was little fjrlng or none toward the American side. . General Avila, who Is In charge of the Mexican troops at Juares, ordered several of the rioters shot according to military reports from the border.

TREATY OF PEACE Federal League Magnates Will Get Control of Certain Organized Clubs. .IS FDR JDHNH. PEEBLES Supreme Court Finds Improper Evidence Was Admitted in Trial of the Case. Cincinnati, Ohio. Dec. 2S. Prob ably the most disastrous war baseball has ever experienced closed here last night when a treaty of peace between the Federal league and both parties to the national baseball agreement, better known as organised baseball, was signed. Two major league club will change hands and two new face will be seen among major league magnates. Charle Weeghman, president of the Chicago Federals, will purchase con trolling Interest In the Chicago Na tionals from Charles P. Taft, of Cin cinnati. Phil Ball( and his associates, connected with the St. Louis Federals, gain control of the St. Louis Ameri can. The agreement gives Immunity to all men who have Jumped their con tracts. All of them have been reinstated or or made eligible to organised baseball. That there will be a wild scramble for some few of the best Federal players was clearly Indicated by a provision In the treaty that the Fed eral league, as a league, and which. Insofar a actual baseball playing la concerned, ceses to exist, will assume all the contracts of Federal players. In this connection rumor flew thick and fait here regarding the fu ture status of a number of Federal league players. One that would not down despite the lack of confirmation was that Benny Kauff, of the Brook- 'n Federal, would be seen next spring In Giant uniform. Beml-offlolally it became known that several former Federal players will be with the New York Americans. The agreement doe not go into the distribution of any players, and It was announced that the bars have been thrown down and that Inasmuch as all are llgible, those who are for sale. will probably go to the highest bidder. Washington, Dec. 2 3.Sr:Tho release of 30 Americana detained at Chihua hua, Mexico, by General Villa, It be came known today, was a condition imposed on Villa in granting him per mission to cross the border Into the United States. Advices that the Amer icans have been released strengthened the state department's belief that Villa Intends to avail himself of the oppor tunity to escape from Mexico. Nothing definite In regard to the whereabout of Villa was reported to the state department today. Some un. easiness was manifested after the re ceipt of advices stating that Villa forces were moving toward Juarez. Government official felt that Juarez would soon be In possession of Car ranza, ' ' ' Galveston, Tex., Dec. 22. Six mem bers of the bandit gang who were re cently captured in Mexico City were publicly executed today, according to news received by Juan T. Burns, Mex ican consul here. Four other mem bers of the band who were condemn ed to death were given a respite at the last moment. Five women were arrested with the band and were given long prison terms. The robbers were enabled to avoid capture for some time by means of forged documents which led the au thorities to believe that they were army officers.

Bost). Raleigh, Dec. 23. In the list of opinions handed down for 1915 the Supreme court granted a new trial to John. II, Peebles, the Haywood county boy who accidentally shot and killed A. M. Bennett, a- Mend, and was sentenced to six months upon a conviction of manslaughter. Mr. Peebles is a Rowan county boy who comes of fine ancestry and is popular. He was assistant postmaster and agent for a railroad at Sunburst, Haywood county and while handling a pistol had It to d'tx barge and kill his friend. The opinion Is written by Judge George II. Brown who sends the case back for trial because Judge Webb admitted ' testimony which the Supreme court considers improper. This evidence was the testimony of Cola Allen who said In answer to the solicitor's question: "What did Mr. Bennett say?" that he "asked Mr. Bennett If It hit him and he said, 'yes, It did' and almost immediately he said, 'I told John to keep that gun away from my direction.'" "This declaration was admitted as a part of the res gestae," Judge Brown sayar "and the evidence shows that the declaration was not made at the time of the shooting, but a short while thereafter. We are of the opin ion that the testimony wns Improp-! erly admitted. It Is fundamental that In order for a declaration to be re- celved in evidence as a part of the res gestae, It must be a part of the main transaction and In time so close ly related to It thut the declarant has had no time or opportunity to pre meditate about what he shall say In his declaration. Harper vs. Dale, tl N. CM 394 'declarations to become a part of the res gestae must be made at the time the act was done and must be such as are calculated to- un fold the nature of the tacts they are intended to explain and so to har rannlre with them as obliviously to constitute one transaction.'

"We think the testimony in this case Is distinctly a narrative of the pan, vmipiiu transaction, ana is not admissible ss a ttart of the res gestae." The court does not discuss the evidence further. Attorney Gener al Ollmer and Aattorney gmathernln presenting the application of Peebles tor pardon declared that they did not think the jury should have convicted the young man. Qovemor Craig was pleased at the turn of things today. YOUNG MAN HELD FOR A BOARD BILL Frank Jordan, deputy state fire In surance commissioner, returned last night to spend the hollda at home. Mr. Jordan comes here from Smith field In Johnson county where he se cured true bills against W, Abdo and his brother, Tom, who are charged with burning their store some time last fall during a fair at Smlthfleld.
