DEATH HAS CLAIMED
 VETERAN PRINTER
Charles E. Booth Had Been With
 Herald 38 Years

Charles F. Booth, of 57 Prospect street, for forty-four actively en- gagged as a typesetter in this city, where for the past thirty eight years he has been employed steadily on the
 New Britain Herald, passed away at
 his home late yesterday afternoon.
 MT Booth worked last week as usual,
 but had a hard cold. On Saturday
 he developed pneumonia and that dis-
 ease quickly spread to both lungs. Be-
 cause of the serious nature of the ail- ment the attending physicians did not hold out much hope for MT. Booths recovery from the first. The funeral will be held from his late home Friday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Rev. pr. Earle B. Cross, pastor of the First Baptist church, will ofHciate and interment will be in Fatrview cemetery.
 Than MT. Booth, there was no man in the newspaper or printing busi- ness in this city better known. It had been his life's work and that he was ever a faithful, hardworking and con- scientious employe all who knew him and worked with him will testify. He was a native in this city and always made his home here.l He was born on South Main street sixty-twO years ago, having observed his birthday on the twenty-seventh of last April. He was a member of the First Baptist church. Besides his wife, MT. Booth is survived by one sister, Mrs. Ed ward D. French of this city.
 A Printer Forty -four Years.
 MT. Booth first entered 8 newspa- per office as a typesetter when he was seventeen years of age. He was first employed on what is now the New Britain Record. Later he entered the employ of the Daily Observer, which preceded the Herald. When that pa- per changed hands and the New Britain Herald was organized he re- mained in it's employ, having served this paper since about 1878.
 In the office and in the composing room MT. Booth was a favorite with all with whom he came in contact. He was ever painstaking in his work, was always courteous and never had 8 harsh word to say, no matter what his trials might have been. His death is deeply regretted by all who knew him.

tentative agreement reached between
Major General Hugh l.. Scott, chief
of staff OF the United States army,
and Gen. Alvaro Obregon, minister of
war of the de facto government of
Mexico, awaits only the acceptance by
President Wilson of the terms of the
proposed settlement.
Advices reached in Juarez to-day
indicated that First Chief Carranza
had accepted the terms agreed upon
by his minister of war. The for
NAL ratification will follow rapidly, it
is expected. as soon as the word from
Washington comes that the agreement
| Is satisfactory.
Gen. Obregon told his associates to-
day that he saw no reason why the
settlement should not be quickly ef-
fected and he believed that the ten
sion between the Mexicans and Amer
leans would quickly disappear when
the news was spread that an under
standing had been reached that had
for its object the retirement of the
American soldiers from Mexican soil
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1916-05-04

While no time limit is set for the
withdrawal of the American troops
from Mexico, that will be done as soon
as there are definite indications that
American border towns are no longer
in danger of raids.
Secretary Baker and President Will
son reviewed the agreement at length
to-day and Secretary Baker sent a
message to General Scott on the future
conduct of the negotiations.
Officials characterized the agree
ment as satisfactory" but would not
state whether every detail was accept
able.
When the negotiations are ended
President Wilson probably will make
a statement.

Rucio, near San Antonio Mex, was
murdered with his Mexican foreman
on the night of April % because he
had acted as a scout for American
troops who went to the Holly ranch
TO rid it of Villa bandits under Car

tained in a dispatch from Gen. PERISH
ing to Gen. Funston here to-day.
A detachment of the Sixth infantry,
under Lieut.. Tetherell and guided by
Holly, set out on the morning of the
29th to run down the Villa band. They
dispersed the bandits, wounded two

rama has had opportunity to pass on
the report submitted to him by Gen
eral Obregon. AS soon as that is done
another conference between General
Obregon and General Scott will be
held on the border and the negotia-
tions will be formally concluded.
While no official information has been
received from General Carranza, off,
cials here take it for granted that
General Obregon would not have made
any agreement which would not have
been accepted by his chief.
Provides for Cooperation
The agreement provides for the CO.

Mexico of bandits. Mexican railroads
will be utilized for the transportation
of supplies for the American troops.

OATS
in NEW RECORD

Possessing a general state av-
erage of 50 bushels per acre,
Montana has established a new
national record in the production
of oats, according to figures con-
tanned in the December issue of
the United States department of
agriculture, copies of which were
received in Billings yesterday,
says the Billings Journal. Aside
from leading the entire country
in oats production, Montana also
made the highest state average
in the production Of rye-22.5
bushels per acre.
Montana tied with Maine in
the average per acre production
OF potatoes, each state being
credited with l55 bushels per
acre.
In the growing of wheat Men
tana forged far to the front,
both in the total production and
IN the per acre average. Last
year, among the 48 states of the
union, Montana stood fifteenth
In the production of wheat. This
year, with a total output of 49,
500, 900 bushels, the state takes
rank as the twelfth greatest
wheat producing state in the un.
ion.
None of the states, however,
hat produced a greater amount
of wheat than Montana ever an.
proaches Montana in the average
yield per acre, which in Montana
this Year was 26.5 bushels per
acre, against an average per acre
production in the United States
OF 1863 bushels. The following
