DRYS LOSE HOPE
OF MOOSE HELP
Few Progressives Re-
spond to Call for Get
Together Meeting.

St. Paul, July 17.-Prohibition party
leaders admitted tonight that their
plans for a get-together conference
here tomorrow, which they had hoped
would bring into their organization
a throng of Progressives, seemed des-
tined to come TO naught. Instead of
a get-together affair, the meeting gave
promise of developing into a Prohibi-
tion lovefeast, with little or no pol
itical significance.
Supporters of Ex-Governor j. Frank
Hanly, of Indiana, for the Presidential
nomination, let it be known that they
would not be displeased if the get
together conference arranged by ma
tional chairman Virgil u. Hinshaw did
not materialize. Mr.. Hinshaw said he
could make no forecast regarding ac-
tion tomorrow, but asserted that nu-
merous dissatisfied members of other
parties had assured him they would be
here.
Only one of these had arrived to-
night--James NJ. Ingersoll. member
from Idaho of the Progressive national
committee. He favors a coalition of
the Prohibition and Progressive par
ties. II is said that Oliver W. Stew
art, of Chicago, business partner and
personal representative of exGov-
ernor Hanly, arrived in St. Paul to-
day and spent several hours discuss
ing the prospects for the Indiana
mans nomination with other delegates.
Mr.. Stewart argued that the Indiana
man was the strongest possible candi-
date the Prohibition party could have
Second to him Mr. Stewart placed Eu-
gene n. Foss, Ex-Governor of Massachu-
sets He declined to discuss William
Sulzer, of New York, as a candidate.
Mr.. Stewart intimated that Mr.. Hanly
would accept the nomination if John VI.
Parker, of Louisiana, were his running
mate. This would mean the fusion OF
the survivors of the Progressive party
with the Prohibition organization, Mr.
Stewart believes.
Other Prohibitionists see a greater
opportunity to gain strength in the
nomination of Sulzer and Parker in
stead of Hanly and Parker. They be-
lieve that is the only way they can OBJ
tain the undivided support of the
American party, which cast 10000 for
Sulzer as candidate for Governor in
New York in 1914.

MEXICAN SHOT
BY U. S. SOLDIER
Sentry Asserts Armed Men
Refused to Obey His
Orders to Halt.

Douglas, Ariz., July i7.-Private r.
Tucker, 11th United States Infantry,
shot and probably fatally wounded An
tonic Rodriguez, n Mexican musician,
late to-day, while the Mexican and a
companion were going toward the in
ternational boundary.
Tucker asserted that one of the men
carried a rife and that both refused TO
halt at his orders. He sent a Mexican
boy. who was passing on a bicycle, to
tell the men to halt, but they failed to
do so, he said. and ne opened fire while
they we're on the American side of the
line. Tucker declared that he emptied
his magazine and both men fell. He
reported 10 his commanding officer that
he had killed the two Mexicans.
Rodriguez and his companion de-
clared that they were unsrmed and
were on Mexican soil when the shooting
occurred.
General P. Elias Gales, military COM
mander Of Sonora, sent telegram to
General Carranza tonight which, it was
said, protested in strong terms against
the "desecration of Mexican soil and
the liberties OF Mexicans."
Adolfo de la Huerta, Governor of
Sonora, sent similar protest to Jesus
Acuna, Minister of Foreign Relations.
Ives G. Lelevier, Mexican Consul, tele-
graphed to Eliseo Arredondo, in Wash
ington, requesting protest to the State
Department. Lelevier also visited Cen
eral T. F. Davis to urge him to investl-
gate the case and punish the sentry.
Tucker and an American officer, who
was near by. according to the military
authorities, declare that the Mexican
carrying the rife dropped it in the
bushes about fifty yards south of the
international boundary. They made no
attempt to recover the weapon.
All American guards are said to have
instructions 10 fire on any one bearing
arms should he fail to halt when or
dered TO do so.
Rodriguez was found about 100 yards
south Of the border, but whether he
had been carried there or had fallen
where he was found has not been de-
termined.
