Washington, Sept. 11.-Intervention
in Mexico seems step farther off to-
day.
Rebel raiding along the border is ex-
pected to be ended by the Mexican fed
erals who are to be permitted to travel
through Texas and New Mexico to at
tack the insurgents along the frontiers
Of Chihuahua and Sonora.
While one force of federals moves
4 N from the northern boundary, an
other force is being worked up the
Southern Pacific line in Mexico. The
plan is to catch the rebels between the
two forces. Representatives of the
revolution here assert this move will
only transfer the seat of war from the
border to the mountains
Madero's movement of troops to the
north Is in response to the demand OF
this government that Americans be
protected. The movement now under
way is expected to quiet the situation
Tor the present at least.
United States troops ordered to the
border will move forward just the
eame and others at posts throughout
the west are ready.

spiracy and that Becker did not insti-
gate the murder of Rosenthal
1t is not definitely known what per-
