headquarters today anxiously awaited
Brigadier General John j. Pershing $
report with regard to the fight engaged
in by $50 American soldiers who were
attacked by Mexicans at Parrall. The
latest Mexican reports indicated that
the fighting continues, with the mob
greatly outnumbering the Americans
In second outburst Of hate against
the "gringoes," many Mexicans were
reported to have been killed. 1t was
said tnat the cavalry turned battery
of machine guns on the mob.
Some feared tlat unorganized BAN

separated from the main column and
prevented the news from reaching
Pershing. II was believed that force
thus surrounded might possibly face
serious casullty fighting its way out,
Headquarters were inclined to re.

outbreak Of MeNcans not familiar with
the trend of events in their own coun.
try. Parral had been Villistl strong.

troops win remain in Mexico for the
present at least. The cabinet at its
session today determined not to change
its policy. This means the hunt for
Villa will proceed.
After tho cabinet session it was stat
ed that Carranza IS request for with
drawal of American forces had not
been answered. Consul Rodgers in Mex
leo City has not been instructed to
treat with Carranza toward an amieable
settlement, The cabinet members failed
to indicate when they intended to reply
to the request.
No light ON President Wilson 3 stand
during the cabinet meeting was OBJ
tainable.
Lack Of definite information ON
events led Carranza yesterday to wire
renewal of his request that the Amer
leans withdraw and this prevented the
cabinet from deciding on its future
course. But for the present, it was
made clear that there would be no
change. The cabinet members unanim
ously decided to gather all the facts
before attempting final action.

,Parral, Where Fight Occurred,
Is Strongly In Favor
Of Bandits
STRONGEST SENTIMENT
Is HATRED OF CRINGOES
Claim Made That $50 OCavaIry-
men Entering Town Was
Cause Of Trouble
By E. T. conkle.

(United Press Staff Correspondent
FL Paso, Texas, April 14.-United
States troops at Parral are facing a
critical situation, it was reported to-
day. Official Mexican accounts of the
fight there said a band of supposed
Villistas defeated by Americans al
Troya on Monday retreated toward Par.
raj. The American cavalry pursued
them, but found strong sentiment
against "gringoes" at Parral The
clash on Wednesday followed.
1t was also reported that forces of
Villistas or Independent bandits were
between the advanced American guards
and the base of operations at San An
tonic, Mexico. A party of 200 attacked
a cattle train three miles from Parral
This organization may have been
among the Mexicans that fought Ameri-
cans in the streets of Plrral.
Other bandits in that vicinity defeat
ed the Carranza garrison at Pillar De
CochOs, driving them back into Parral
The de factO troops at Del Vale were
also beaten by Guerrill horsemen.
If the Carranza garrison at Parral
joined these Villistas or independents
and fought against the Americans the
situation, it is believed, will become
Iertical.
Whether Carranzistl soldiers partici-
pated in the attack on Americans at
ParIAl is the most important question.
The Mexican account posted at Juarez
stated that civilians attacked American
troops who entered the city through a
mistake 1t failed to mention Mexican
casualties, evidently fearing that such
an announcement would cause more i'll
feeling in the Juarez garrison which is
already reported to be strongly anti
American.
Other reports, however, said that the
eonsttutiOnalist officers could not con,
troll their men, and that soldiers partici-
pated in the attack Tne fact that the
mayor of Parral is the father of General
Luis Herrera is considered significant.
General Herrera is still regarded as the
leader of an anti American element in
the Carranzista army despite his cor.
dill meeting with General Pershing re,
Gently.
James Lord prominent mining man
Of Sonora, predicted today that the
news of Carranza s request for Ameri-
can withdrawal would be spread to ev-
cry hamlet and that maasacres of many
white inhabitants as well as of Ameri.
can soldiers might be expected.

WITHDRAW OR INTERVENE

: Washington, April 14.-"fThe
; question in Mexico is whether
; we have accomplished all we
; can" said Senator Stone today,
; after a conference with Secre-
; tary Lansing. II believe we
; have. There are only two ways
; left open = withdrawal or in
; terVention.
How long are we going to
keep the army in Mexico? How
long would we allow foreign
country to maintain an army in
America? Not very long, I
would say. I have never thought
and do not think now that we
can capture Villa. I have al
ways thought We would have to
withdraw without capturing
him.
II endorse sending the troops
in. But it all reverts to a ques-
tion of how long we should keep
them there. If America con
trolled Mexico, Villas capture
would be certain, but we are
operating in a foreign country.
1--WE could suppress any bri-
gandage in our own country,
but we're on foreign soil. Con-
gress can do nothing until Presi-
dent Wilson and the cabinet act
Of course, I can't prevent de-
bate. Sometimes 1 wish I
could
II am convinced that we can
not capture Villa with the start
he has," asserted Stone. "He is
in friendly country and knows
every foot of it, while our boys
are not familiar with the terri
tory. We can disperse his bands
but it is like scattering a bunch
of quail--they whistle back and
forth and are soon together
again"
There was a possibility that
debate in the senate would be
cut off when it unanimously re-
sumed discussion of the army
bill. Leaders agreed to keep
their hands off until a situation
demanding congressional action
arises.
Senator Smith, of ARIZONA,
called at the state department
today. Upon leaving he indi-
Gated that he was opposed to
the withdrawal of troops from
Mexico until Villa is captured
and the safety of the southern
border assured

lie, and since the fight at Parral. New

progress. Strategic points along the
lines Of communication are being rein

Aeroplanes and aviators now in Col

need for watching movements Of Car.
ranzistas near the border.
The only news from Parral told Of a
brief exchange Of shots between Il

was no casualties

Trying to Force Hughes
Name On the Ballot

Portland, Ore, April l4.-Supporter,
of Hughes for the republican presi
DENTAL nomination declared today that
they will attempt to file petition
with Secretary of State Olcott in Salem
tomorrow, demanding -.that Hughes
name be put on the primary ballots in
Oregon.
Secretary Olcott already has stated
that he will refuse to put the name on
the ballot because Hughes personally
requested that his name be left out.
Hughes friends then propose to ask
the supreme court for a writ of man
damus against 0lcott, compelling him to
list their man as presidential candi-
date.

Bomb Plotters Confess;
ImpLicate Higher Ups

New York, April 4.-Confcssions OBJ
tanned by secret service agents from
Carl Schmidt, Carl Paradis and Fred
erick Praedel, arrested in connection
with the investigation of anti-bombs
plots resulted in a search today for
more than a score of men. whom, it is
believed actually placed fire bombs on
merchant ships.
Schmidt, Paradis and Praedel were
engineers of the interned German lirwr
Friedrich Der Crosse. Their alleged
confession, police declare, said that ring
leaders Of the plot were so anxious to be
sure the bombs were properly placed
that they often assigned three men to
the task Of putting internal machines
on one ship.
Daily capital journal. (Salem, Oregon) 1903-1919, 1916-04-14

The trio confessed that during one
year they manufactured about 300
bombs. Ring leaders considered that
10 or 10 Of these devices on each ship
was about the right number. Their fig
ures tally roughly with police estimates
that 80 fires on allied merchant ships
were caused by the rlng's activities.
The bomb makers said they received
Sl4 q week for the work.
The authorities are tracing accounts
kept by Walter T. Scheele, president Of
the New Jersey Agricultural and Chem
ieal company of Hoboken, seeking a
clew to the identity Of "higher ups. "
II is alleged that Sehecle's company
wns instrumental in placing acid in the
internal machines.
