Weiss Has Small Chance
 to Remain in Service

Washington. July 1s.-(Special)-In the opinion of the war department if the examining physician stands pat on his report there will be little chance of Col. W. F. Weiss remaining at the head of the Second regiment, Alabama National Guard On representation from promi- nent people in Alabama, Senator Bank head and Representative Dent petitioned the war department this morning to waive certain alleged physical imperfec- tions in the case of Colonel Weiss
 The department forwarded all data 10 Gen. Leonard Wood of New York, who is in command of the division in which Alabama is numbered.
 The Alabamians were informed. how ever, that if the local physician insists on his diagnosis that the heart of Colonel Weiss was weak, the chance was very slim that General Wood would be willing to waive the disqualifications.

OF DEAD IN CAROLINA FLOOD IS
 GROWING STEADILY
Seventy Three Persons Now Known to Have Lost Lives Throug bout Section Devastated. Waters Subsiding Leaving Ruin In

| Seventy three deaths and at least
 nine persons missing and believed dead,

 states, according to latest reports.

 the outside world, adds almost hourly

 Reports toni ght from Mitchell coun- ty, in the extreme western part of North Carolina, brought the news that
 Il lives were lost there and more than
 100 homes were washed away in Sur

 Falls, on the Yadkin river near Kick ory, five persons were drowned and
 near Taylorsville three children lost their lives. Seven bodies were taken from cabins floating on the Yadkin at

 There is a possibility that some of
 the reported deaths may be duplica-

 is obtained from all parts of Norrh Carolina known to have suffered from
 the high waters it Is feared the number
 of lives lost will be materially in creased.
 Seven of the flood victims were
 drowned at Ronda, near Wilkesboro,
 in the overflow of the Yadkin river.
 They were in two houses cast ashore
 at Ronda, after having been washed
 15s miles from the point where they |'originally stood. { The other deaths occurred in ths Bat Cave and Chimney Rock section, southeast of Asheyille. where the Rocky Broad river ragged through a narrow valley Sunday. carrying every thing before it, and near Belmont. on the Catawba river.

Conferences Between Polk and Mexican Ambassador
 Are Making Progress
WASHINGTON DENIES
 TROOP WITHDRAWAL
War Department Is Relaxing Embargo on Many Articles, Coal and Gaso- line for Commerce Being Added
 to Food and Clothing

Washington. July 19-Preliminary nego- tiations between Acting Secretary Polk and Eliseo Arredondo Mexican ambaz- sador designate. for peaceful settlement of border difficulties, progressed so well today that a formal announcement very soon" as to the course to be followed was officially predicted
 The conferees met twice today. Later Mr. Arredondo telegraphed 8 report to his government and MT. Polk prepared similar report for Secretary Lansing, now on his vacation. and probably will talk the situation over with President Wilson tomorrow.
 Henry P. Fletcher, ambassador desig- nate to Mexico, was present at both con ferences. It is understood the discus sions dealt particularly with the powers to be conferred upon joint commission should that plan of settlement be fol- lowed. So far no definite agreement on the course to be pursued has been reached but today's developments indicated that only final word from General Carranza and President Wilson was lacking. It was stated officially that the American cont missioners had not been selected. Officials said also that MT. Fletcher would not head the American membership, as had been reported. because 1t might impair his diplomatic usefulness.
 It is understood MT. Fletcher will go to his post in Mexico City soon after MT. Lansing returns from his vacation, about August 1. provided the favorable turn of events beyond the border con- tinues. At the same time MT. Arredondo will be formally received by President Wilson as ambassador from the Republic of Mexico and full diplomatic relations be restored.
 State department officials said today they had no information as to when Gen. eral Pershings troops would be with drawn from Mexico, indicating that this was military question entirely in the hands of the war department. There have been intimations that one of the sub- jects discussed by MT. Polk and MT. Arredondo was whether the question of withdrawal of the troops should be sub mitted to the joint commissioners for consideration. Since the Washington gov
  casion that the troops would retire when- ever Carranza troops could insure the security of the border it appears prob- able that MT. Polk thought it unnecessary for the commission to go into that sub ject and so informed MT. Arredondo.
 A dispatch from General Pershing to- day saying that General Gonzales had conferred with him as to reports of the seizure of the Hearst ranch in Chihuahua and then had proceeded to investigate the case was viewed here as further evi- dence of the more conciliatory attitude of all Carranza officials.
 The war department announced today a further relaxation of the unofficial embargo imposed at the border when the Mexican emergency became acute Coal, coke and gasoline for industrial purposes and household goods now will be permitted to pass into Mexico, the an- nouncement said in reasonable quantities. Food and clothing have been going in for several weeks.
