TRUSTEES CANNOT
 VOTE FRISCO STOCK

Jefferson City, Mo-, May 31-The Missouri public service commission today announced tentative approval of the new reorganization plan of the St. Louis & San Francisco railway with the exception of the clause pro- viding for the trustees to vote the stock of the road. The voting trust plan probably will be submitted to the supreme court for decision as to it's validity. The public service com mission has held in the past that any plan by which the stockholders dele gated the control of the road to trus- tees was illegal. (
 During the hearing today attorneys for the New York bankers who devis- ed the plan, stated that if a voting trust is not approved, the organizers will seek charter in some other state. Ninety-three per cent of the Frisco stockholders and 91 per cent of the creditors are said to nave agreed to the reorganization plan.

HOUSE ADOPTS AMENDMENT FOR
 ARMOR PLANT
Appropriation for Aero. planes Increased to $3,500,-
 GOO, Party Lines Breaking.

Washington, May. 33l.--Amend. ments to the naval appropriation bill providing for an $11 100000 govern ment armor plate plant; for $3,50O,- 900 instead of $2,0OO,OOO worth of aeroplanes; for 2,7O0 additional sail ors, and for a bonus system to encour- age private construction of warships, were adopted today by the house, sit ting as committee of the whole.
 Party lines were broken down on every vote, 23 Republicans and two Progressives joining the Democrats in voting for the armor plate proposal, the final vote being 165 to 91. Thir- teen Democrats lined up with the Re- publicans on the additional aeroplane amendment, which was carried 129 to 103. The bonus and increased per- sonnel amendments were adopted overwhelmingly without roll cali.
 Debate on the armor plate amend ment, which has been passed as a separate bill in the senate, centered largely on whether the Bethlehem Steel company had treated the gov ernment fairly. Representatives But Ter and Graham of Pennsylvania waged the fight against the naval committee amendment, offering as a substitute an amendment by MT. But Ter, looking to the settlement of the controversy between the government and private manufacturers.
 The Butler amendment would have provided for an appropriation for building government plant, but made it's use contingent upon the refusal of private manufacturers to accept con- tracts at prices judged by the com- mission to be fair. It was lost, 18O to 12.

 Activity"

s4 Little Rock, May 31.-Pernicious political activity was scored by Gov. Robert L. Williams of Oklahoma in an address before the Arkansas Bar as sociation here this morning.
 Governor Williams denounced the habit of the holder of one office seek ing election to another and declared that any officeholder who aspires to another office should resign from the one he holds while making such a race. Governor Williams was roundly cheered when he made the state ments. His subject was "The Legis- lative Department of Government" Hams said that the average fudge of today was just Illegal race horse" because of the number of cases he of decisions of circuit judges efs 1ocere on cong stitutionality of law, by having such decisions come from three circuit judges, sitting en banc, instead of from one circuit judge.

Calls on U. $. to Make Good Its Protestations of

SENDING TROOPS
 ACT OF INVASION
Carranza, in New Note. Charges Send- ing of Second Expedition Was in Violation of ScOtt's WOrd-U. $,
 Blamed for "NIuch of TrOubIe.-

Mexico City, May 31-Claiming that the words and protests of the
 United States have been entirely in contradiction of it's acts, and that de-
 spite protests not to intervene in the affairs of Mexico, soldiers of the United States are in Mexico without the consent of the Mexican govern
 ment and in violation of Mexico's
 sovereignty, the Mexican government
 now asks for the immediate with
 drawal of those troops. The request
 is made in a 12,OOO-word note made
 public at the foreign office at noon today.
 The note recites that the American troops crossed the border after the Columbus incident without the per mission of the Mexican government The act was not considered solely one of war, because the United States said they had misinterpeted the attitude of the Mexican government. When the second expedition crossed the line after the Glenn Springs incident, the note maintains, the plea that this was done with the consent of the Mex ican consul at Del Rio, Tex, is un- tenable, and that act can only be con- sidered as one of invasion.
 The Mexican government there- fore invites the United States to bring to an end this unsurportable situa- tion," the note concludes, land to SUD- port it's protestations and declara- tions of friendship by an immediate withdrawal of American troops"
 Maintaining that the protests of friendship by the United States and expressed desire of non-intervention has been contradicted by the acts of the Washington government, the note says the time has arrived when Wash ington must declare itself fairly and unequivocally as to it's future inten- tions toward Mexico.
 After reciting the facts which led to the first crossing of the frontier by the American troops after the Villa raid on Columbus, the note insists that in contradiction of the word of Generals Scott and Funston, another expedition crossed the boundary line, thus violating all the precepts of in- ternational law and committing an act of invasion.
 "The American government" says the note, "has admitted that the work of the expedition which entered after the Columbus raid is now over, but in spite of this fact American troops still remain on Mexican soil. To con tend that political disorder in this country justifies this act of the Amer lcan military forces is in conflict with the. repeated protests of the Wash lngton governments attitude to be non-interference."
 The note points out that much of the trouble in Mexico is due "to the attitude of the United States in not punlshing conspirators in the United States who have plotted the downfall of the present constitutionalist gov ernment of Mexico, and to the acts of Washington in refusing to permit shipments of arms and ammunition to enter Mexico"

 NOT PREPARED ID TALK PEACE

London, May 31.-Premier Asquith, answering a question put by Sir Ar thur Markham, Liberal, in the house of commons today, stated there was nothing in the recent statement made by Dr: von Betthman-H Holweg, German imperial chancellor, that indicated Germany was prepared to consider terms of peace which would safeguard the interests of the entente allies and the future peace of Europe.
 z Sir, Arthur's question apparently was designed to set at rest any sug- gestlon that the entente allies were prepared to accept intervention.

Intended for Effect.

Washington, May S1-General Car ranza's latest note flatly questioning the good faith of the United States government and, with a threat of armed resistance, demanding imlnedi- ate withdrawal of American troops from Mexico, was presented at the state department today by Eliseo Arredondo, the Mexican ambassador designate. Tonight a translation of the voluminous document of 12,OOO words was laid before President Will son, who at once began considering how it should be answered.
 No one in official circles would at- tempt to forecast just what course the president might decide upon. There was complete unanimity, how ever, in the belief there would be no immediate withdrawal of the Persh- ing expedition. High officials said the de facto government had utterly fail- ed to prove it's ability to protec, the border. and expressed the opinion that the troops would remain in. Mexico until this was done.
 It was suggested that the belliger- ent and uncompromising attitude as- sumed by Carranza probably was largely for effect upon Mexican public, and there was little disposition to be- lieve that the de facto government actually contemplated any effort to expel the army by force.
 Mr. Arredondo left the impression that his chief did not expect the def- ant words of the note to be taken at their face value when, on handing the communication to Acting Secretary Folk, he gave notice that 1t wal not intended as an ultimatum. but aa ; continuation of the negotiations which

Reaches Fort Stanley in a Small Boat, Having Fail
 ed to Cross Continent.
HIS SHIP CAUGHT
 IN AN ICE FLOE
Vessel FlOatpd Until Md- Winter, When Exploring Party Landed on Elephant Island. Where 22 of the
 Men Still Remain.

London, June 1 (Thursday).-Lieut Sir Ernest Shackleton, Antartic ex plorer, has arrived safely at Port Stanley, Falkland islands.
 News that Sir Ernest Shacklton was safe reached London after mid night. The message was from the explorer himself, and announced his arrival at Fort Stanley. The message said his ship Endurance had beer "crushed" in Weddell sea in an ice flow last October, but that it drifted until midwinter, when he and his group landed on Elephant island, in the South Shetland group. The ex- plorer left in a small boat with five men, leaving 22 men behind. All of them were well but in a situation de- manding immediate relief.
 The message from Sir Shackelton was dated Fort Stanley, May 31. It said that he left Elephant island April "A.
 Fears had been entertained for the explorer during the past few weeks, owing to the absence of the Endur- ance, and in the house of commons Premier Asquith said the government had approved of a commission being appointed by the admiralty to give ad- vice regarding a relief expedition.
 Lieut.. Sir Ernest Shackleton's ex- petition, which had as an object the crossing of the Antarctic continent ,fros Haddel sea to Ross sea, -statted from England in August, 1914. Sir Ernest went to Buenos Aires, and the other section was sent to Tasmania. At Buenos Aires, in October, 1914, Sir Ernest started for Weddell sea. The other party later proceeded for Ross sea, on the Aurora, where it was hoped Sir Ernest would join it after crossing the continent. Early in the present year the Aurora returned to New Zealand, having broken adrift in the ice May 6, 1915. Eight of her men were ashore when the vessel broke away, and nothing had been heard from Shackleton at the Ross sea base.
 Fort Stanley is the capital of the Falkland islands, in the South Atlantic off the coast of Argentina.
 The fact that the expedition headed by Shackleton returned virtually to the point of departure means that the expedition failed in it's primary object.
