to a wireless message received in
Vera Cruz. What had promised to be
the first fight between the United
States army and the Mexican troops
Saturday, however, ended in the ex-
change of not more than half a dozen
shots. The Mexicans threatened to
attack Immediately unless the Amer
leans surrendered their position at the
water works at Ell TEAR within ten
minutes" but failed to fulfill their
menace.
Carranza ealks Peace Plans.
Washington. May All hope for
an armistice by Gen Carranza during
the mediation proceedings appears
shattered by the announcement from
the Argentina embassy that no word
concerning the armistice had been
received from the constitutionalist
leader
The A. b. C.. mediators were in con
ference until a late hour last night,
but as their whole program is practi
caly based on cessation Of armed
conflict in Mexico, they have come to
a stone wall.
Carranza's prompt refusal to agree
to a neutral oil field zone at Tampico
further indicates his intention to con-
tinue fighting despite the wishes of
the mediators. His refusal followed
direct request from Secretary Bryan
after both the latter and the British
ambassador. Sir Spring Rice, had ap-
peaIed to the rebel commander at
Tampico.
Won't Agree to Neutrality.
Carranza has notified the state de-
partment that he Is not willing to
make an agreement in regard to the
naturalization of the oil well zone at
Tampico. but. so far as his forces are
concerned, the operators may return
to the oil wells without being mo-
Tested.
During the day Secretary Bryan an
nounced that the joint negotiations of
the United States and Great Britain
through Admiral Fletcher and Admir-
that he had taken the matter up di-
rect with Huerta, Carranza and Villa
The next bulletin on the subject came
when he announced that Carranza
had declined to enter into such an
agreement.
Campaign Against Capital
The state department and the A B.
G. mediators have been officially in
formed that the constitutionalists in
stead OF agreeing to rest on their arms
pending negotiations. are marching on
Tampico with artillery and are on the
verge of beginning a campaign against
Huerta from Monterey to the Next
can capital The first point OF attack
by the constitutionalists will be Sal

troops This appears to be Gen, Car

that he agree to the pacih-
cation of Mexico by mediation

ly available. This resolution has the
approval of President Wilson. A SINH
lar rider is expected to be attached to
the naval appropriation bill now I'M
der consideration in congress.
This action is in line with all of the
precautions that are being taken by
this government. Nothing is to be left
undone to have the armed forces in a
state of complete preparedness if the
mediators finally report they cannot
bring about an agreement. 1t is adj
mitted that If the questions in dispute
were those between the United States
and Huerta at the time the big battle
ship fleet was ordered south, a speedy
settlement could be reached Huerta
has made it plain in unofficial negotia-
tons with representatives of the en-
yoys that he is willing to salute the
flag Internationally if the United
States forces are withdrawn from
Vera Cruz He has been told, how
ever, that things have gone too far,
and that now the United States insists
that he must eliminate himself.
CONSUL Miller Sent Back.
To help the negotiations, Secretary
Bryan sent Consul Henry Miller back
to Tampico. Mr. Miller had decided to
leave Mexico.
Authorities at the state department
said today that there was a great
deal of sensitiveness among the citi-
zens of Tampico on the subject of
the protection of the oil fields and that
the negotiations were therefore very
delicate 1t is admitted that the oil
interests have been insistent in their
demands for protection of their prop
erty. Some of them even demanded
wells. Washington will continue ne
gotiations with Huerta and Carranza
as to the neutrality of the oil territory
at Tampico.

DOUBLE TRACKING SYSTEM.

The farmers of southern Idaho will
joyfully receive the news that the Ore
gon Short Line has resumed the work
of double-tracking its line in this state
"a work suspended by the cold wealth
er of winter.
The advantage to the fruit growers
and hay and potato producers Of the
state is obvious.
E. c. Manson, general superinten-
dent of the Oregon Short Line, is now
visiting the part of the system where
the double-tracking is in progress. It
is the intention of the executive COM
mittee of the Union Pacific system TO
double-track the entire system as ION
as possible in order that more freight
may be handled without additional mo-
tive power and equipment.
Between Nampa and Pocatello. on
the Idaho division, the work of double
tracking the system will be rushed
to completion as soon as possible tat
the road may have the benefit of the
second track in handling the crops
during the coming fall. Last year The.
car shortage was attributable in a
large measure to the small amount OF
double track between these two
points, and the operating department
of the Oregon Short Line desires to
have everything ready for the hand
ling of the 1914 crops.-kimberly Cal: |

U. s. VS.. GERMAN OIL BILL.

BERLIN, Apr. 2S.-Formal action by
the United States government against
the petroleum monopoly bill, recently
introduced into the German imperial
parliament, is expected to he resumed
today, but it is thought nothing much
Will be accomplished as another ost
ponement is expected.
The United States through its Il
bassador J. w. Gerard, has expressed
the confident expectation that certain
injustices toward American investors
contained in the monopoly bill in it's
present form will disappear before
enactment.
The United States has no wish either
to intervene against Germany's estab-
lishment of an oil monopoly nor to in
terfere with any price arrangement
between the Standard Oil company and
the German government, should such
be under consideration.
1t expects that American citizens
who have invested capital in German
enterprise will be fully and fairly
for all investments can
celled by the measure.

MAGNATE GEO. +. BAER DEAD
Stricken on Street, Never Recovered
Consciousness.

| PHILADELPHIA, Apr. 27.--Geo. F
Baer, president of the Philadelphia
& Reading, and active in the organ
| izatiOn of many coal, iron and trans
portation companies, died at his home
here Sunday He was stricken on the
the street Saturday while walking to
seriousness.
| His wife, who is nearly 70 years
| old, never left his side during the
| 341a hours he lay i'll.
Gastric trouble supplemented by a
kidney disease is believed by the ply
sicians to have been responsible for
Mr.. Baers sudden illness.
Mr.. Baer began his career as a
lawyer and few days ago celebrated
the fiftieth anniversary of his admis-
sion to the bar. For nearly fifteen
years he was employed as personal
counsel for the late j. Pierpont Nor
gan.
Geo. F. Baer captain of industry
and one of the most noted railroad
men of his time in the United States,
was born in Somerset, Pa, on Septem-
Der 26, 1912, the son of Major Solomon
and Anna Maria (Baker) Baer. His
earliest American ancestor was Christ
opher Baer, who came to this coun-
try from Zweibrucken, Germany, prior
to 1740 and settled in Northampton
county Pennsylvania, in 1743. His
son, John Jacob, who was Geo. F,
Baer's grandfather, moved to Allie
gheny county, Maryland, in 1900,
whence Solomon Baer, who was born
in 1894, later went to Somerset coun-
ty, Pennsylvania. where he engaged in
farming. He died in 1882
Geo. F. Baer was, in the true sense, |
a self-taught and self-made made. He |
received his early education in the |
Somerset Institute and the Somerset |
and at the age of IS years
he entered the office of the Somerset |
Democrat to learn the printers |
trade. He worked there for two years |
and then entered Franklin and Mar
shall College The outbreak of the
Civil war, however, interrupted his
studies. About that time peculiar cir
made Geo. F. Baer and his
brother, Henry, owners of the Somer-
set Democrat Henry entered the
lrmy and George got out the paper,
studying law at night.
When the great anthracite coal
trike began on May ~, 1902, Presi-
lent Baer conducted the fight against
he United Mine Workers of America
Who had instigated the strike. 1t was

iting scenes which accomplished that

Dad of work and responsibility rested
pom the shoulders of President Baer.

ointed commission to investigate the q
