VILLA PURSUIT
IS SUSPENDED
American Troops, However,
Ordered to Remain in
Mexico
WILL BEAK UP BAND
Bandits Attack Train and. Twenty
four Passengers Are Reported to
Have Been Killed 6

Washington, April 24.-While Am
erican troops are under orders to re-
main in Mexico, the pursuit of Villa
has been temporarily suspended.
All trace of Villa apparently is lost
War Department officials say. The
trail will not be picked up during the
period of "recuperation,' recon-
mended by Major Gen. Funston, while
he is making a redisposition of his
forces.
Unless resistance by Carranza
troops while Funston is carrying out
his troops movements bring change
in the plans, army officers believe the
expedition will hardly accomplish
more than breaking up Villas band.
The Washington Government has
determined evidently to MAINTAIN a
military status quo beyond the bord-
CT until the Mexican de facto govern
ment has demonstrated its ability to
capture or crush Villa and his ad
herents and prevent repetitions of
the Columbus raid.
In the interim, it is understood, the
American troops will be so placed as
to safeguard the border towns by
virtually policing the area south Of
the boundary in which Gen. Carranza
has been unable to check bandit op-
erations.
Ell Paso, Tex. April 24.-While the
careers of Pablo Lopez and Manuel
Baca, two of Mexico's bandits, are
said to be ended, renewed activity by
Canuto Reyes is reported in an at
tack on a Mexico Central train in
which "a passengers were killed.

COOL WEATHER TO CONTINUE
Rain Also Expected By End of the
Week

This week will be cold and unset
tied over the Northern part of the
country, with probably local snow:
in the northwest, but in the South anc
on the Pacific coast normal tempera.
lures and fair weather will prevail
The Weather Bureau in its forecast
for the week says:
"The pressure distribution ovel
the American Continent and adja-
cent oceans is such as to indicate
cool weather during the week in all
Northern States, the Plains States
the Rocky Mountain and Plateau re-
gions and the Ohio Valley, and nor
NAL temperatures lin the Southern
and Pacific States.
"rhe change to cooler will be pro-
nounced over the Northwestern
States by the middle of the week and
it is probable that this cool wave will
be attended by general frosts the
latter half of the week over the region
of the Great Lakes, the Ohio and Up
per Mississippi Valleys, the Northern
Plains States and the Rocky Noun
tain region.
There will be unsettled weather
at the beginning of the week along
ehe northern border from the Great
Lakes eastward and it is probable
that disturbance will develop over
the Far West Tuesday OF Wednesday,
advance to the Middle West Thursday
or Friday and to the Eastern States
near the end of the week. This dis
turbance will be attended by general
precipitation, with some probability
of local SHOWS in the Northwest.
Except for the period of unset
tied weather and precipitation at
tending this disturbance and the un-
settled weather at the beginning OF
the week along the Northern border,
the weather will be generally far
during the week"

Campaign Being Inaugural
ed to Antagonize the
President
AFTER CONGRESSMEN
Editor of New York Staats Leitung
Admits Such a Propaganda is
About to be Launched.

New York, April 24-The Times
this morning publishes the following:
Victor Riddcr. the brother of Ber-
nard Ridder, editor Of the Stats
Zcitung, said last night, that the
German American vote was being or
ganiZed in this country in Il campaign
against any Presidential candidate
not acceptable to the Gcrman-Am-
orleans, and that the start of that
campaign was being made now in an
effort to see that no Congressman or
Senators were returned to Washing
ton who were not in opposition to
President Wilson
In his statement, as reported to
the Times, Mr.. Ridder said he bcliev-
ed that the use of the eGrman-Am-
erican vote to beat men for Congress
rvho might support Wilson was per,
fectly justified in view of the unwar-
ranted attacks Mr.. Wilson had made
upon the Germans and the German
Americans living here.
Mr.. Ridder was asked about the
story appearing in a New York news
paper to the effect that Bernard Rid
der had written to German language.
Texas newspapers asking them to
support O. E. Colquitt, one Of the
'candidateS for the United States
Senate.
1T is true that my brother and the
Stats Xcitung are using all the in
fueace in their 2o'"er." Mr.. Ridaer
is reported to have said in reply, ''to
see that as large a vote as possible
is swung to support men for Con-
gress, Senator's and Representatives.
who are not in sympathy with Presi-
dent Wilson and who can be depend
ed upon to oppose him to the last.
81 consider this is perfectly justi-
fable action on our part in view Of
the unjust and unfair imputations Of
President Wilson against the German
Americans who are living peacefully
as members of this nation despite
the troubles in Europe. 1t is true that
Bernard Ridder has written to friends
in Texas asking their support Of
former Governor Colquitt's election
to the Senate.
There will be no attempt to swing
the entire German American vote un-
til after both the Democratic and Re
publican parties select their nominees
for President, but we will support
that candidate who Is satisfactory to
German-Americans and fight the
other"
Henry Weisman, president Of the
German American Alliance. admitted
! last night that he knew of the plan
to organize and swing the German
American vote in support of one can
didatc who might be acceptable. but
| he declared that he was going to keep
out of the whole thing.

KILLS WOMAN AT CHURCH
Congregation Tries to Escape From
Building.

Ellicott City, April 24.-Angere'
at being forcibly elected from simp
sons Methodist Episcopal Church.
colored, at Poplar Springs, yester
day afternoon, George A. Myers, col
ored, shot one woman and badly in
jured man. The dead woman is Cor
rie Dorsey, The injured man is Bue
Gather.
Shortly after o'clock in the at
ternoon while service was being con-
Quoted in the church by Rev. David
Keith, colored, Myers entered, he
Immediately created a disturbance and
was taken from the edifce by Keith
and another negro named j. Warner,
In a few minutes Myers again came
into the church, and this time held
a revolver in his hand.
He began firing at random and
then saw Warner and Gather, who
had put him out of the building, and
Immediately opened fire on them.
The shots missed Warner, but one
of the bullets went through Gath
er's wrist. Standing near the TWO
men was the Dorsey woman. She
and Myers recently had quarrel and
when he caught sight of her in the
church he opened fire on her.
The first shot he fired at the Dor
sey woman missed, but the second
shot lodged in her right breast:
Death was almost instantaneous. In
the meantime members of the congre-
cation attempted to escape by climb
ing out of the windows and by hiding
under the pews. When Deputy Sheriff
Patrick, arrived, after having been
summoned by the pastor, he found the
entire church in disorder, hats scat
tered all over the floor and many
of the negroes still attempting to
escape from the building.
Myers was taken into custody by
Deupty Sheriff Patrick and last night
was brought to the Jail here by Chief
of Police Wosch, of this place.

Washington is Expecting.
Concilatory Reply to
Wilson's Note
ENCOURAGING WORDS
Believed in Diplomatic Circles That
Berlin's Reply Will Contain Ger.
tain Assurances

Washington, April 24-The belief
gains ground that the. German gov
ernment will make a concillatory re-
ply to the American demands fol
abandonment of Illegal submarine
warfare.
Further official dispatches from
Ambassador Gerard, outlining the
preliminary views of the Berlin
Foreign Office after receirr1 of the
American note, are desr ,oed as en-
couraging in tone.
Code messages to the German En-"
bassy since the arrival Of the note
in Berlin are also said to indicate
that Germany does not consider set
tlement of the issue hopeless.
Count Won Bernstorff, the Germans
ambassador, is scheduled to confer
with Secretary of State Lansing al
ter returning from New York today.
The German Ambassador, under IN
structions from his government, is en-
pected to conduct negotiations Of ii
nature similar to those in progress
between Ambassador Gerard ard
Foreign Minister Won Jagow.
No official word has come from
Berlin as to when the reply of the
German government may be expect
ed. The State Department expects to
receive reply, however, by the mid
die or last of this week.
There is almost unanimity o. opln-
ion in, oficial and diplomatic circlea
that the German government will
make a reply Of such character that
the State Department will feel o'''ig
ed to enter a discussion before TAX
ing fnal-action.
There was added belief that thc re-
ply from, Berlin will contain assur-
ances that Germany will conform to
rules of visit and search if enemy
merchantment will submit to visit
and search without offensive use Of
guns
1t is definitely pointed out by off,
Gals that while Germany is justified
in making this or any other counter
proposal in replying to the note, there
must first come declaration OF
abandonment of present submarine
warfare. This is declared to be i con-
dit;on precedent to any discussion
whatever. On this point of the Presl-
dents note and message the State
Department is prepared to stand FIRM.
German embassy officials refuse &c
discuss the likelihood of such decla-
ration from the Berlin government.
They said with the greatest er,pfa-
sis, however, that Germany desires
peace with the United States. and
that the German government will not
force break in relations.
Significance was given to these OF.
cial embassy views since the embas
sy has been in constant communlca-
tion with the home government since
the American note was dispatched
The inference drawn from the state.
ment of German diplomatic officials
is that Germany will not hesitate t.
assure theUnitcd States of its intcn.
ton to suspend submarine operations
until either an understanding is
reached with the United States, or II
is shown that nothing can be accom-.
| plished in that direction.
