Washington, ID. c., June lit was
stated authoritatively to-day that the
American troops will not be withdrawn
from Mexico until the Csrranza authori-
ties demonstrate control of the situation
sufficient to protect the American border.
A reply to that effect probably will be
made to Carranza's note.
President Wilson was represented to-
day as being ready to withdraw the
troops when it is possible but as deter
mined to wait until the Carranzs forces
can control the situation.
Steps will be taken by the war depart
ment to obtain more definite information
regarding the disposition of Carranza
troops in Chihuahua, as it was said that
the tone of the Carrsnza note prompted
action by military officials without re-
gard to the diplomatic phases of the sit.

| CANNOT RETAIN
RIGGS BANK FINE
Court Rules on $4,000 Withheld and
Holds Further Penalties May
Not Be Imposed.

Washington, June 1.-The district sri.
preme court yesterday held that Control.
Ter Williams may not retain a $4,000 fine
he imposed upon the Riggs National
bank, and also held that the controller
may not impose further penalties. as the
bank alleged he had threatened to do.
The decision yesterday disposes of the
undecided points in the banks cele-
brated civil suit against Secretary Nc
Adoo and Controller Williams, in which
it charged them with conspiracy to de-
stroy it.
Controller Williams had imposed a
fine of 5000, which the treasury depart
ment withheld from interest due the
bank on government bonds. The bank
alleged the controller threatened also
to fine it at the rate of 800 day while
certain of his orders were not complied
with. The decision of the court yester-
day is victory for the bank in that re-
spect.
All the banks charges of personal
malice and persecution by the treasury
officials were dismissed. Last week three
OF the banks officers were acquitted Of
a perjury charge in connection with the
civil suit decided yesterday.
The case began year ago and jus
tice Mccoy has had it under advisement
since last July.

TO PROMOTE GENERAL WELFARE.
Informal Discussion Was Held Regarding
Barre Plans.

number of Barre people interested
| in the organization of a welfare league
met in the court room at city hall last
evening and discussed tentative plans
for such move. Speaking was of an
informal nature entirely, but good
deal Of interest was manifested in the
proposal and it is not improbable that
second meeting viii be held in the near
future. Around 35 men and women were
present to listen to Miss Gridley, who
has interested herself in welfare work in
Montpelier Miss Gridley gave an inter-
esting resume Of her work and observa
tions and advanced valuable suggestions
for the proposed Inauguration of organ
lied effort in Barre.
No attempt at organization was made,
but enough interest was shown to war
rant another gathering, which viii be
held in Rowland hail, through the gem
erosity of F. q. Howland. who offered
quarters for the second meeting. Talk
centered principally around the plan to
engage paid worker. Offers Of assist
ance were received and it was Indicated
that an organization Of the kind in Barre
would not lack for pecuniary assistance.
Among those who supplemented the
remarks made by Miss Gridley were:
Judge Frank j. Martin, f. G. Rowland,
Rev j. B. Reardon, Overseer w. J. Clapp
OF the poor department, Charles Pamperl
of the Barre evening drawing school and
George \. Tilden, who represented the
Barre Board of Trade. The matter of
calling another meeting was left with
the chairman.
