 grafton Bill Defeated

Atlantic City, June 7-Declaring that it was up to President Wilson to prevent enactment of the Burnett-Dillingham i'm migration bill should the Senate aban- don all American traditions and follow in the footsteps of the House in passing the measure, Leon Sanders. grandmaster of the Independent order Birth Abraham, assailed the legislation in his annual ad- dress before the twenty eighth annual convention of the ordSr here today and appealed to the 1500 delegates to stem the tide of bigotry and prejudice
 Conditions, Sanders said, were such in eastern Europe to make it imperative that many Jewish people seek freedom in the United States, but the passage of the "iniquitous measure would shut the doors of America in the faces of Jewish immtatants

One Soldier Routed Indian Band

Joseph c. Miller, the ranchman, and one of the owners of the 101 Ranch Wild West show, as we'll as of the Oklahoma ranch from which the show derives its name, be- lieves he is the only man who ever saw one United States soldier put an entire band of hostile Indians to flight. 'Tn the old days in Oklahoma" said Mir Miller between shows at the Madison Square Garden. it was customary for cattlemen to drive their steres from Texas to the ranches in the territory. In follow ing one of the trails 1t was necessary to pass through the Cheyenne reservation. Tn order to placate the Indians and se- cure their good will it was customary to furnish them with couple of 'beeves.' so that they could have feast. "One year I had gathered a herd of several thousand steers and with few cowpunchers was driving them through the Cheyenne country when without warn ing we were surrounded by band of Indians, who gave every indication of be- ing in a hostile mood. I knew. that a herder who had passed through the reser- vation few days previously with bunch of horses had refused the usual tribute. and that in the fight that followed one of the Indians had been killed; but the fact
 
 ment agency in the vicinity with several companies of cavalry at Fort Sill led me to believe that the Indians would not go beyond making a bluff The Indians, however, were in war paint, and in an ugly mood and their threatening attitude convinced me that they might work them selves into a frenzy and attack the camp. "As did not want to get into fight with the Cheyennes I concludd to ride to Fort Sill for help. Disposing of the cowpunchers as advantageously as pos sible to protect the cattle from stam- pede succeeded in getting away from the camp without being detected. Be- fore I had ridden 10 miles l ran into traders camp. Because of the trouble on the reservation he had been fur nished with an escort of three or four troopers. When I related the condition of things at my camp the trader offered
 me one of his soldiers.
 "'What good would one trooper be against hundred Indiantsr asked. ".Just as good as a thousand was the reply aeI
 With considerable misgivings started back to the camp with the lone trooper, who was in uniform but carried very little in the way of armament. As we climbed knoll in the vicinity of my camp we ran into band of 20 or 30 Indians. The moment the trooper saw them he refined in his horse and pointed in the direction of the hills. Without the slightest hesitation the Cheyennes started to ride away and in few mo- ments they had disappeared.
 How did you do it?' asked the trooper.
 | "I didn't was the reply; it was Uncle Sammy. The Indians knew that if l they killed me the entire United States | army would be on their trail.' None of us saw the Cheyennes after the reservation without molestation." It Is an interesting fact that number of Cheyennes are in the congress of In- dians at Madison Square Garden.

Carranza's Answer Tuesday

l lTOHl vera tIuZ lOWdIu heAlCO 1lly.
 Carranza's Answer Tuesday Another possibility, however, sug gested in official quarters is that this government may bring influence to bear on the owners of the steamer Antilla to change her course and make no at tempt to deliver her cargo at Tampico pending the outcome of mediation ne- gotiations, and efforts to induce Gen eral Carranza to participate in the peace conference
 Agents of General Carranza in Wash ington tonight said they had no official word relating to the proposed determi- nation of Huerta to blockade Tampico nor any communication from General Carranza, As to General Carranza's ex- pected answer to the proposal from the South American mediators, the consti- tutionalists' chiefs advisers said it might not be forwarded before Tues day, inasmuch as the general did not leave Torreon for Saltillo until tonight. Should the Antilla change her course or return to an American port danger of an immediate clash would be averted.
 A third possibility discussed here is that Admiral Badgers ships would not interfere with General Huertas purpose to blockade the port of Tampico against importation of ammunition. but that they would insist on keeping the port open to ordinary commerce This might avert serious consequences.
 So far as could be learned no orders were sent to Admiral Badger to send any war vessels to Tampico except the two following Huerta's ships. The only American ships now at Tampico are the battleship Minnesota, outside the Panuco river. and the monitor Ozark in the river, which temporarily serves as Rear Admi- ral Mayos flagship. These vessels, how ever, would be more than adequate to cope with any situation that might arise | While the navy department made nc | affirmative announcements there were | negative announcements and naval of.
