 The tenseness of the international situation. Pesqueira said, has been re- lieved because the entry of of the Con gales troops into Tampico would have given absolute assurances of protection to the oil wells and other property, no matter by whom owned and would ob- viate any friction or necessity of action by foreign nations. The capture of Tampico, it is said, not only gave the constitutionalists control of northern Mexico, by railroad connections and assured prompt and efficient troop movements but also as free port of entry gives connection to the markets of the world with the centers of busi- ness in the interior.

Roosevelt Takes Criticism To Be
 Highest Tribute
ASSOCIATED PRESS p1spArcH1

BRIDGETOWN, Barbardoes, May 13-Colonel Theodore Roosevelt re- piled to Sir Clements Markham's cri- ticism of his discovery by an un- known river in Brazil, by saying that the British geographer unconsciously paid the greatest possible tribute to what he had done. He declared the best existing maps were utterly wrong in regard to all this part or South America and said they made mistakes as to the courses of the Gyparana and Juruena affluents.
 The mountains given on the maps are, according to the colonel mostly imaginary Where his party enf- parked on a mountain, the maps indicated a valley.
 The lower part of the river he had explored, said the colonel, had long been known to data gatherers under the name of Arpoanan and the up per part as Castanao but it had not been mapped

SILK COCOON
 MAY BE NEW VALLEY CROP
Where Mulberries Grow in Such Profusion. Why Not Silk Worms? - Professor McOmie Says There's a Chance

In valley where the mulberry grows with sturdiness, why not silk worms?
 The question was asked by the Phoe- nix Board of Trade and addressed to Professor A. M McOmie of the Uni versity Experiment station. With it went the suggestion that the silk in dustry in Arizona. would furnish a dandy employment for women and girls. the one big gap in farm life. Me Omie replied yesterday. that:
 'I see no reason why silk worms would not thrive in the Salt River val ley We have some mulberry trees growing at the experiment farm, and q more thrifty. better fruiting tree, I have never seen. There are four varieties and they all seem to do well. Your suggestion that the industry would fur nish work f1r the spare hours of the women of the farm is an exceedingly good one I will take up the study of the question and keep you informed as to my progress.
 Speaking on this subject, Secretary Harry Welch said:
 q certainly hope we can add another industry to those we already have. The care of silk worms seems to be pecu- liarly adapted to the spare hours of the women on the farm. There is a big re- turn, for successful crops. In this val ley, where mulberry trees grow with out any apparent trouble, l see a big cocoon raising industry some day" So, in addition to the title of the ] Arizona Dixie, the Salt River valley will stand a chance to be called the l France of the New World

 The two officers, who acted under the orders of Hamrock on the day of the battle, sWore the battle was started by strikers who fired upon the National Guardsmen, that Hamrock was not in the immediate vicinity of the tent col ony when the fire started, that, in their estimation the fire started from the explosion of an overturned lamp, and not by the state troops and that the two women and eleven children who lost their lives in the colony they believed died of suffocation hours before the fire started.

 Mai Hamrock announced that he did not care for counsel and was ready to proceed to trial immediately.
 The arson article deals with the burning of the strikers colony and charges that the tents were fired "wil- fully and maliciously" by the defend ant or by persons under his authority in violation of the laws of Colorado.
 The murder article contains twenty seven specifications and charged Ham, rock with responsibility for the death of two women and eleven children which resulted from the burning of the colony

TORREON, May 13-"On to Sal tilo, san Luis Potosi and Mexico City" is the constant cry heard ev- government offices and stores, a speedy advance is the thing they talk Of A note of impatience runs through the conversation. Inquiry often brings the statement that Mexico is tired of war and expres- sions of regret that the United States has replaced the embargo.
 The embargo will only prolong the struggle said Villa recently Most MeXicans take that view, al though regret rather than resent ment is expressed when the action of the United States is discussed by educated constitutionalists
 In the past much ammunition has been taken from the federals. Villas soldiers are confident they can. re- peat this performance. Ammunition is being concentrated here and at Monterey. Available food supplies are ample The question of trans porting the wounded has received special attention, many vehicles have been remodeled for that purpose. Large stores of medical supplies have arrived The staff of physi- clans has been increased from fif- teen to twenty Horses are being given as much attention as men. Villa has learned that the mounted infantry is a most serviceable arm. As many men as possible are being given mounts.

 WASHINGTON, May 13. - The senate foreign relations committee decided that in the future there should be no chance of misunder- standing over treaties to which the United States is a party. A SUD committee was named to di aw .ur resolutions expressing the senate s interpretation of the convention drafted by the recent safety-at-sea conference at London.
 It was understood that the con troversy over the Pauncefote treaty and Panama canal tolls led to the committees action. The safe ty-at-sea conference probably will be reported with the resolutions at tached. but it's ratification by the senate is far from certain.

Bald Jack" Rose Comes
 Smiling From The Stand
ASSOCIATED PRESS D1sPATcH1

NEW YORK, May 1S-'Bald Jack Rose. the chief witness for the prosecution at the second trial of Charles Becker, the police lieutenant, charged with being the instigator of the plot resulting in the murder of Herman Rosenthal, came smiling from the stand after five hours of relentless cross examination.
 The bald-headed informer unfalter- fngly answered all questions, and even remained unperturbed when Martin T. Manton, chief counsel for Becker. shouted accusations of niur- der at him.
 The announcement that Becker will take the witness stand in his own behalf is perhaps the most inn portant development in the case thus far.
 If Becker can give a good straight forward story to the jury. if he can go unfliching through the ordeal of cross-examination, it is agreed that his chances of acquittaf will be vastly benefited.

That the rebels encountered a desperate re- sistance in their final attack on Tam pico and that they were compelled to carry their fighting into the heart of the town. is indicated by Mayo's re- port.
 Mayo reported that at one o'clock this afternoon when it was reported the rebels had occupied Tampico, there was heavy rifle firing in the plaza. The big gun fire continued. The federals retreated by the railroad leading to San Luis Potosi It is assumed they hoped to reach Pachuca, the terminus of the railway line leading directly to Mexico City. The railr.ad out of Tampico to Monterey is held by constitutionalists.
 Reports are current that strong pres sure will be brought to bear on the constitutionalists after the Tampico battle to induce them to participate In mediation.

 First formal steps in the program for mediation in the Mexican problem were taken Justice Lamar and Frederic Lehmann, together with their secretary, II.

It was a call of courtesy but paved the way to informal confer ences in advance of their first meet ing at Niagara Falls, Monday.
