There was little change in position
during the closing laps OF .he race.
The immense American audience OF
over 10000, who had sighed with re-
lief when the much feared Boillott
was forced out with broken frame,
became resigned to the inevitable
when. within the space of few min
utes, the two most likely American
cars, Bragg's Mercer and Wishert's
Mercer, both ranking near .he lead.
were forced out by minor accidents.
Barney Oldfeld, best known Ameri-
can driver in the game, received the
greatest ovation OF his career when
Ian after lap he held his own at fifth
place. With four Frencnmen before
him and Belgian crowding him from
the rear, the dean o. the American
pflots forced his white S.ntz along.

Boillott did not drop out Of the
race before he had given his COM
ratriot, Thomas, challenge for first
place. First one then the other led
for many laps, with Thomas always
nosinz 20 the front at the 100 mile
mark. Finally, when Bcillott's car
failed him and he slowly drew into
the pit, he was heart broken. This
Frenchman is the most feared driver
Of Europe and was the favorite in
this race. He went out on his 147th
lap. with nearly three-fourths OF the

MEXICANS AGREE TO
GENERAL SCOTTS PLAN

Washington, Dec "a ~ Secretary
Bryan received word unofficially to-
night that the plan proposed by Brig.
Gen. Hugh H. Scott. chief OF STAFF OF
the United States army, for the pre-
vention of firing into American terri-
tory along the Mexican border. had
been agreed upon by all factions.
Enrique c. Llorente, Washington
agent Of the Gutierrez government, 81
which General Maytorena at Naco Is a
supporter, was advised that the latter
had accepted the plan suggested by
General scott. II provides that Con-
eral Hill, OF the Carranza forces shall
abandon Naco and be permitted 70 go
unmolested 10 Aqua Preta, already
held by a portion uf his troops. Gem
eral Maytorena, who has Withdrawn
his forces, southwark from Naco,
would agree not 70 occupy Naco, So
nora. which would thenceforth be-
come absolutely neutral.
As Maytorena already holds No
gales. a port OF entry, he is said 70
beliaxe that the, arrangement was
neither to his advantage nor detri-
ment From the viewpoint OF General
Hill, the continued possession Of Naco
was said to be of little value. because
the Maytorena forces besleging il
from the south prevented the further
transportation OF supplies. obtained
through the port from the United
states. by retiring to Aqua Prie'a,
I'm. il is believed. will be enabled to
better defend himself against all at
tack.
From the American point OF view
the arrangement was favored. because
fighting at either Aqua Prieta or No
gales would not be close enough to
the American towns to produce the
same situation as had existed for sew
eral months at Naco, where stray bull
lets constantly fell ON American, soil
