 American Conferees.

Washington, Oct. 19.-Forma1 recognition by the United States of the de facto government of Mexico with General Venustiano Carranza as chief executive, was accomplished at noon today by the delivery to General Car ranza's representative, Eliseo Arre- Gondo, at the Mexican embassy of g. letter from Secretary Lansing.

TEXAS TRAIN ROBBED
 BY MEXICAN BANDITS
Two Men Killed, Another Fatally Wounded and
 Four Others Hurt.

Brownsville, Tex, Oct. 19.-In- spired by race hatred as we'll as desire for loot, twenty Mexicans who claimed to be followers of Luis de La Rosa, leader of the so-called Texas revolu- tion, held up and robbed a train near Olmito, seven miles north of here, late last night. AS a result two men are dead, another is probably fatally wounded and four others are seriously hurt. The bandits are believed to have escaped into Mexico. The dead

 Dr. E. S. Mccain, Cameron County, physician. probably fatally shot.
 Harry Wallis, seriously wounded in abdomen.
 H. E. Moran, conductor of the train, slightly wounded.
 How much loot the robbers ob- tained is not known.
 Upon hearing of the hold up, the sheriff and a posse started in auto mobiles from Olimite and a special train carrying two companies of in- fantry started for the scene. troop of cavalry left shortly afterwards and
  detachment of infantry.
 The first definite information re- ceived at Fort Brown said that band of seventy or eighty Mexicans pulled out a rail from the track and the engine and baggage car went into the ditch. Mexicans then swarmed on the train, it was reported, and footed it. A long trestle half a mile south of the wreck was set on fire after the train had been held up; the bridge was nearly destroyed, hindering the pursuit.
 As the Mexicans poured into the coaches they shouted: Viva Pizana!' and shot at passengers.
 Pizana is the supposed leader of the so-called Texas Revolution or ganized under the "Plan of San Diego" which last year contemplated the seiz'>re of border states and re- turning them to Mexican rule.

HARVARD TO ASK THAT PLAYERS BE RESTORED
Football Players and Officials Hold Informal Meeting-Fear LeGore's
 Dropping May Effect Big Game.

Cambridge, Mass, Oct. 19.-As the
 result of an informal meeting of liar
 ward football leaders and auth critics,
 it was expected in Cambridge today
 that efforts would be made to per
 suade Yale to reconsider its action
 in dropping five prominent athletes
 because of their summer baseball ac-
 tivities When it was learned here
 that LeGore and Easton, two football
 players, had been included in the
 list of Yale ineligibles, Capt. B. W.
 Mahan of the Harvard varsity foot
 ball team, called a meeting at which the matter was discussed. All of those present declined to be quoted today, but it is known that Captain Mahan conferred with Chief Coach Haughton, former Capt. Robert Storer, Richard Wigglesworth and two members of student advisory board, and that the general senti- ment seemed to be that the absence of LeGore would deprive the Harvard Yale contest on Nov. 20 of one of l it's best features.
 The view is said to have been ex- pressed that as the violation of the intercollegiate agreement had been l a tchnical one, and as the players lad | made proper amends whenS tn cir at- ' tention was called to a violation of the rule, an exception might be made ! in their cases. No definite action, how ever, was taken at meeting except to extend to Yale, in an unofficial way. the attitude of Harvard
 Football players pointed out that when Orville Frank a Harvard base ball captain was found to have tech- nically violated an athletic rule, Yale r,1 o~1xo Harvard to permit the big first base /; man to continue in the game. ! The disqualification of five members of the Yale baseball team, including Capt. Arthur M Milburn and Harry w. LeGore, also fullback of the foot 1 ball squad, for violation of the sum- mer baseball rule announced last night, created a great sensation among 1 the college men today, especially as , reports were current that other ath- letes are liable to be disqualified un-
 der the same rule by the athletic com mittee. The early report was that
 nine players had fallen under the ban, 1 but as yet only five names have been 1 given out.
 The disqualification of LeGore is the
 most severe disappointment of all and
 football followers were discussing to- l udy IlOW I1edu oOdCI1 IllIhcy Cdn IlCSL ] the situation, which has been dis couraging so far this season. Hinkey
 has not placed LeGore in the regular | lineup because he was saving him. it
 is understood, for the important
 games, but the undergraduate body
 on two occasions demanded that he
 be sent into play at critical moments 1 during games by vocal demonstra- ton.

 Police to Share Also.
 Chief Black of the Wilmington police made a favorable impression, said Judge Futile. The Wilmington department has already lost one man by death and two by permanent in juries as a result of this case and the law that a police officer shall not re- ceive reward will not apply in this in stance as it is an out of the state mat ter, the judge ruled. He said he un- derstood that the money would go into the pension fund. He also thought Markle and Pietuskais were entitled to a part Of the reward

Corn Yields Is
Bushels to Acre

Jan Berger, of Chaudoin town.
ship in the southern part of Per-
kins county, is busy cribbing his
crop of dented corn and in spite
of the fact that the crop was
damaged by high water in the
early part Of the summer, the
yield is from Is to As bushels per
acre.
Mr.. Berger was doing a little ex.
perimenting with the raising of
corn and put in a little of each
of yellow dent, white cap, north
western and squaw corn. The
yellow dent proved to be the
best and Mr.. Berger is of the
opinion that this is the best
corn to raise in that section of
country.
Although soft corn has been
reported from every section of
the corn growing states, there is
very little soft corn in the SO
acre field put in by Mr. Berger,
and the kernels are as deep as
any in the corn raised in the
corn belt.
