Gomez Palacio. has been lifted, it be-
came known here today. Abandon
ment of the plan to collect the loan
from the concern followed conferences
between the northern leader and Maj.
Gen. Hugh L. Scott. chief of STAFF OF
the United States Army, who was re-
Gently sent to the Mexican border on
mission for the State Department.
The Gomez Palacio factory enjoyed a
practical monopoly in the purchase OF
cotton seed at a fixed price and the sale
of it's production under the Dlaz re-
gime. Formerly much of the stock OF
the company is said to have been held
by members of the so-called "cientifico'
party in the form of bearer" stock GER
tificates. Suspecting that the certifi-
Gates in this form served to conceal
the identity of members of the "cien-
tifico" who were deriving revenue from
property in his territory, Villa is said
to have eXacted loans amounting to
more than a quarter of a million dol
lars. When his last demand was re-
fused the plant was conf1scated. -
At a conference Gen. Scott is said to
have convinced Villa that the stock is
now held exclusively by American and
British investors
Future movements of Gen. Scott were
uncertain today, pending the receipt of
further instructions from Washington.

MEX|CANS CROSS
INTO TEXAS AGAIN
Ranger Captain Tells of Ones
and TWos Slipping Over
Rio Grande.
U. S. CAVALRY PATROL
FIRED ON, is REPORT
All Aliens Disarmed Upon Sight.
Penalty for Carrying Concealed
Weapon Is Death.

BROWNSVILLE, Tex, August 10
Reports of renewed attempts by Next
can bandits to reorganize their bands
in the lower Rio Grande valley were
brought here today by Capt. j. ]. San
ders of Texas rangers. Sanders said he
had received reports that Mexicans are
crossing in ones and twos into Texas
and that they are attempting to gather
again in Hidalgo county. west of
Brownsville.
A detachment of United States cav
airy patrol was fired on last night from
the Mexican side of the Rio Grande
river at Progreso. about thirty miles
from here. The cavalrymen returned
the fire and the shooting from the
Mexican side stopped There were no
casualties among the American troop
ers.
The 26th Infantry, from Texas City,
went on duty here today. About sew
enty-five men of the Goth were left at
Kingsville, lis miles north of Browns
vile, and more than two companies
went on patrol at Harrington.
Disarm All Mexicans.
Rangers and peace officers are disarm-
ing all Mexicans outside of the larger
towns throughout the Brownsville sec
ton. Firearms discovered in the pos
session of Mexicans in rural communi-
ties of this section is practically equiv
alent to a death warrant, unless they
are we'll known to Americans as being
peaceful. Even with such a record,
f1rerms are confiscated and a warning
given not to obtain any more. There is
a state law against pistol carrying.
Mexicans in this vicinity have avoid
ed penalties of this law by carrying
rifles. claiming that the law did not
apply to such large and perfectly un-
concealed weapons.
The embargo on arms and ammuni-
ton which rangers have put on Mexi-
cans on the American side is the most
effective on record in this valley. The
penalty for smuggling through this
ranger embargo is death.
