Memphis, Tenn, May 2S.-C. A.

of a string of all night and day banks,
was remanded in court Thursday to
receive his sentence of five years i'm
prisonment or his attorney must pay
his bond Judge Mccall made this rul-
ing Thursday in an effort to finally
dispose of the All Night and Day Bank

Bond last was heard of in Canada
where he had made headquarters at a
small town near Winnipeg. He was
arrested in 1912 with five others fol
lowing the collapse of the banks in
the chain at Memphis, Oklahoma City

THE CRt1ER RiON

The annual commencement numDer
OF this beautifu! magazine is just of
the press and now being offered to
the public. II is safe to say that this
is by far the most artistic and IN
every way the most attractive number
that has ever been issued.
Few people realize the amount OF
labor and actual money required to
produce even this one issue of the
Criterion. The boys and girls compos-
ing the Editorial Staff have furnished
their time and labor free, of course;
but the printing, lithographing, bind
ing, etc, required have made the cost
of the present issue at least $125 per
copy.
To meet this cost in part, the bust
ness men have given them a liberal
amount of advertising, and the school
board have given some substantial
help; but there will still be quite a
deficit unless the patrons and friends
of the schools as well as the public
spirited citizens of Ardmore show a
larger appreciation by purchasing
copies of the Criterion for their own
use and to send out of the city.
At the low price at which it is of
fered, fifty cents, every family in
Ardmore should have one to preserve

from Vera Cruz were denied Thurs
day by officials close 10 the president.
1t was indicated that the plan is TO
keep troops at Vera Cruz until the
Mexican problem has been settled
definitely.
Secretary Bryan conferred with
agents of the constitutionalists and
late in the day he saw the Spanish
ambassador who called in the inter
est of Spanish citizens in Mexico. EX-
pulsion of the Spaniards from Tor
reon and threats before the taking Of
Saltillo are subjects still under con
sideration.

Mrs. Curtis, probation officer is 60
ing to send to Pauls Valley tomorrow.
This youth, only years of age has
a record equal to many old timers and
that he will ever reform is extremely
doubtful as crime seems to be his nat
ural bent and he rather glories in the
fact that he can pull off his little
tricks and get away with it on account
of his age. Up to date he has ridden
off three horses, has hidden himself
in a bank with the intention of get
ting in contact with the cash box, on.
ly to be found and thrown out, has
opened the mail box in the post office
from large number of checks, aggre-
eating several thousand dollars, and
bill from the home of a neighbor, pur-
chase a target rifle and a quantity of
cartridges and after shooting up all
the ammunition gave the gun to a
companion and returned home only to
be caught by the officers. That is
some record for an year old, isn't it?
He was paroled from Pauls Valley
some time ago and for a few days act
ed real human, but he is going to stay
there this trip if the probation officer
has her say in the matter.

1--WE did not expect the arms to be
l2uded" said Secretary Bryan. He
referred to an understanding said to
have been had with officials of the
Hamburg-American line that arms on
the Bavaria and Ypiranga would be
returned to the consignors on foreign
shores. Considerable doubt seemed
to surround this understanding, Secre-
tarv Daniels said He had thought
there had been some understanding.
81 had taken it for granted said
the secretary, from some under
standing that was reported to me
that arms would not be landed
No agreement between authorized
representatives of the United States
and the German government relating
TO this shipment OF arms had been re-
ported. At the German embassy ii
was pointed out that the German gov
cmment had no authority to prevent
the captain of a German merchant
vessel from engaging in commerce
OF this character. The impression
therefore left by the officials state
ment was that there certainly had
been no formal agreement,
It is assumed here that the steam
slip officers took statements recently
emanating from Washington to the ef-
feet that all of the Mexican ports
were open to mean that they were
relieved from any further withhold
ing of cargo from such ports. From
German sources comes the informa-
ton that all of these arms and am
munition supposed to be supplied by
German factories actually were made
IN the United States, shipped out of
New York and Boston to Hamburg
and reshipped from there to Mexico

Senator Lodge replied that the ad-
ministration had announced officially
this country was not at war with Mex
ico. hence so long as the United
States was not actually in possession
OF a port, it could not object 10 the
landing of imports there.
There was no need for a German
cruiser TO convoy the German ship"
added Senator Lodge.

PEACE ADVOCATES
MEDIATORS HAVE PLANNED A
TEMPORARY COMMISSION Gov
ERNMENT FOR MEXICO.

Washington, May 2S.-Conferences
indicating rapid progress in media
ton of the Mexican situation We're
held here Thursday by President Will
son. Secretary Bryan and diplomatic
officials. Information obtainable here
reflected the news from Niagara Falls
that essentials of Mexican pacifica-
ton plan had been agreed on and
that some subjects still were under
consideration before a protocol actual
ly could be drafted. Some govern
ment officials were so confident OF
ultimate peace that the reported land
ing of ammunition for Huerta from
German ships at Puerto, Mexico, caus-
ed no uneasiness. One official sald
Huerta probably would never have
need for the arms. Asked what he
meant, he said it was because every
thing looks so hopeful for peace"
Officials generally admit the basis
of the mediation plan is for the es-
tablishment of a commission govern
ment comprising a provisional presi-
dent and four cabinet ministers. To
this government Huerta's power would
be transferred pending an election.
1t was admitted here Thursday
night that the basic plan has been
communicated to General Carranza.
Carranza Stands Pat.
1t was reported that General Car
ranza's representatives here had re-
ceived no word from him in response
to exchanges relating to the progress
OF mediation thus far. 1t was declar-
ed the constitutionalist leader had not
receded from his position that he
would not consent to mediating Mex
icos' internal affairs. Some sugges-
ticns, however, were said to have
ccme from the constitutionalist chief
which were regarded as encouraging.
These, it was understood, would be
communicated to the South American
mediators.
Besides the mediation developments
the reported landing of ammunition
for Huerta from the German steam
ers Ypiranga and Bavaria at Puerto,
Mexico. was discussed most. 1t gen
orally was conceded that nothing
could be done in the matter now and
that the shipment could not have
been stopped without violating the ar
mistice.

Barbed Wire Stops Escape.

Muskogee, Okla, May 2S.-A barbed
wire fence proved the undoing of w
NJ. Phillips of Williams, Okla. when he
tried to escape from federal officers
after having been arrested on charge
of introducing liquor. Phillips leaped
from a stalled Midland Valley train
thirty miles east of Muskogee, and in
the darkness ran plump into a barbed
wire fence. The officers came upon
him leisurely, extracted the barbs from
his flesh and clothing and took
him back to the train as if nothing
had happened.
