CARRANzA SENDS AGENT TO
SETTLE BORDER CONFLICT

Brownsville, Texas, Sept. go
Much Significance is attached to the
announcement by the Carranza Con-
sulate that Gen. Jacinto TreyinU,
Carranza commander for the depart
ment Of the Northeast Mexico arrlv-
ed at Matamoras today on a special
train. II is believed that he intends
to attempt to smooth over the ban
dit and international border fight
ing In this section In order to
strengthen carranza's standing with
tse Pan-American conferees.
United States army officers here
look with relief upon any tops from
the Mexican side to cooperate with
their efforts for stepping the fighting
across the Rio Grande.
Although early recognition OF some
government in Mexico is In prospect
II is feared here that even the three
weeks continuation Of fights which
have broken out In the past three
weeks might prolcng II not directly
endanger the successful adjustment
OF the Mexlcan-Amerlcan affairs.
Last nights reports Of shooting
heard at various places about Browns
VILE. proved to be local affairs, none
seemingly connected with the ban
dit troubles. The only persons hurt
were two Mexican girls, a short dis
lance down the river below Browns
Vile. Both were shot In the leg. This
shooting was done by an automobile
party Of Mexlcans, apparently drunk
who had ridden about for several
hours. occasionally fired at ccnven-
lent targets.
Report that the same automobile
marty fired into an American house
on the road near town, hitting wo'
man there. proved unfounded.

this report found that two shots were

hood. but could not trace their ouree.
