Private Roscoe Tyree and o. G.
Compton arrived late this afternoon
in company with Sergeant Smyth.
They were brought here on motor
car from Glenn Springs. Anxiety had
been felt for these two men, as Tyree
disappeared after the fight between
the bandits and the patrol at Glenn
Springs, and Compton had been re-
ported taken into Mexico by the
marauders.
Private Tyree was In agony when
brought to Marathon tonight. His
right arm and foot were badly burned

day. Sergeant Smyth came in with
him on a truck.
Compton, whose little son Garnet
was riddled with bullets in the raid,

Signing of Agreement
Prevented by New
Mexican Demands.
SCOTT AND FUNSTON
REFUSE CHANGES
Glenn Springs Raiders Hirelings
of Interventionists, Says
General Gavira.
From st.r Correspondent o. The rrieun,l

From a STAFF Correspondent o. The Tribune
III Paso, Tex, May s.-Generals
Scott and Oregon met tonight for
what was TO be the final conference TO
arrange satisfactory agreement to
cover Americas troop activities In Mex
leo. The agreement previously reached
by the two military conferrees was OK
pected TO be signed and an amicable
arrangement made.
The conference tonight was fail-
ure. II was admitted that no agree
ment was signed. Just why, neither
General Scott, General Funston, nor
General Oregon will cay. II was said
to-day that General Obregon was will
ing TO sign the agreement as II stood
but that General Carranza insisted
upon changes which the American gov
eminent, il was understood, could not
agree TO. The Mexicans will not CON
sent TO American troops going further
into Mexico than 100 miles. 1t Is
claimed -.
Mexicans generally see in the Big
Bend raid q menace 20 the Carranza
government, and all Carranzistas put
the blame upon American and Mexican
interventionists. General Gabriel Ia
vira. commanding Carranza troops IN
JuareZ, said:
"They were not Villistas who raided
the Texas border at Glenn Springs
They were hirelings Of interventionists,
paid by men on the American side TO
bring about a situation that is calcu-
lated to end in Intervention.
Events Displease Oregon.
General Obregon is not pleased with
the course of events. In Juarez his
special train has been under steam all
day. ready 20 dash TO the south. To-
night when the conference ended Cen
eral Obregon. accompanied by Juan
Amador, sub-Secretary OF Foreign Re
lations and believed to be Carranza's
personal representative. hurried 10 the
train. Later Obregon came to the
American side again to meet his ten
year-old son Umberto, who has been
in New York. The boy was quickly
taken 10 the War Secretary's train.
General Obregon said:
This is not the last conference.
The progress tonight was in the main
satisfactory, but there will be another
conference, possibly tomorrow, and
there may be others"

country and Europe. IL is said that the
Germans were most anxious TO sink the
Cymric. The cargo she carried when
she last left New York made her 4
choice prize for any enemy submarine.
The contraband included:
Forty cases Of aeroplanes and parts,
8 eases of firearms, Is cases of guns, 80
cases Of rifles, $50 cases of primers,
2.163 pieces of forgings, 1l,049 cases of
empty shells, 300 cases of cartridge
cases, 1,572 bales of cotton, 20 cases OF
gun parts. 8 cases Of bayonets, 1853
plates of spelter. 220 cases OF she'll
heads, 7 cases of empty projectiles,
$500 cases Of cartridges, $40 cases OF
fuses, IS cases Of automobiles, 81 SOB
bars OF copper, 271 cases of copper
bands. 400 reels Of barbed wire, 1866
cases of brass rods, 81 cases of tractors
and parts, 81 cases Of lathes, 50 cases
of gaines, 1854 cases of lubricating oil,
so cases OF shell tubes, 107 cases Of
copper tubes, GA cases OF rubber boots
and shoes, 1,247 cases of agricultural
machinery, 1 ,231 bundles of shovels and
33 bales OF leather
Shortly after the Lusitania disaster
the Cymric discontinued her passenger
service. Captain Beadnell said at the
time that he had no fear Of his ship
being sunk and that he would pit it
against the cunning of the German sub
marine officers. Once, and then by
mere blind luck, the Cymric had mar
row escape and came within an ace Of
going to the bottom" On that occasion
the Cymric and the Fslabs left Liver
pool, March p, 1915, at practically the
same time. They steamed down the
Mersey together almost abreast, and in
the Irish Sea they veered off, the
Falaba taking southerly course. Early
the next morning, when only fifteen
miles of water separated the two boats,
the Cymric received word that the Fa-
laba had been torpedoed and that the
passengers were being taken off in
small boats.
The Cymric is a steel, twin screw
steamer, built in 1898 at Glasgow and
displacing 1890 tons. She has three
decks and is 5s5 feet long, with beam
Of 81 feet and depth of 40 feet. She
was registered from the port of Liver
pool. Until the war began she was in
the Boston-Liverpool passenger and
cargo trade.

immediate pursuit and apprehension OF
the marauders.
Not Likely 10 Use Militia.
Secretary Baker refused to comment
to-day on the possibility Of calling out
the national guard for border patrol
duty. II is known this step is not un-
der immediate consideration. Officers,
disagree with the Administration.
have long urged IT, since more than
half Of the troops under Funston are
in Mexico with General Pershng, and
the remaining regiments. largely in
fantry, are unable TO maintain an CT
fcctive patrol OF the boundary.
The Administration believes that the
militia should be used in time OF peace
only for temporary duty, while the
patrol of the Mexican border practical
~ is permanent necessity. When the
recruiting Of the 10000 extra regulars
recently voted is complete the army
will be adequate to the situation, II is
believed, though fewer than one-third
of the quota have been obtained TO
date.
The Glenn Springs raid has served
20 make clear the attitude of the State
Department regarding General Car
Ianza's note suggesting withdrawal Of
the American expedition. II was
stated officially to-day that the agree
ment suggested by General Carranzs
in the first exchange of notes for q
reciprocal right TO cross the border
on any recurrence Of the Columbus
raid still was assumed TO be in force.
Only the status of the present expedi-
ton is involved. il was said, In the
present diplomatic situation and in the
Scott-ObregoA military discussion at
FL Paso
The right to pursue outlaws who en-
gagged in subsequent raids was clearly
stated in the original proposal from
Carranza, and If Funston's men go
across, pursuing the Glenn Spring
raiders, they will be covered by that
agreement. regardless of the status Of
General Pershing's expedition.
Il is regarded as unquestionable
that the latest incident Will have a
strong influence upon the time when
American troops will be withdrawn
from Mexico. The agreement reached
at FL Psso, il has been stated, pro-
vides no time limit for withdrawal. but
rests that time upon a demonstration
Of the ability Of the Carranza forces
TO protect the international line. The
Texas raid apparently places fulfil
ment of the condition farther in the
future. In the meantime the original
agreement will cover new pursuits. in
Guiding that of the Glenn Springs
raiders.

BULLET KILLS WIFE;
NIPS HIS CHEEK
Husband Who Pleads Accident
Is Accused of Homicide.

Joseph Russo, a longshoreman. is
locked up in Brooklyn as a result Of a
shooting that cost the life Of his wife
and resulted in bullet wound in his
own shoulder and face. Russo insists
that the shooting was accidental, but
reports of quarrels caused the police
TO hold him on a charge of homicide.
Russo declares that he was cleaning
an automatic pistol in his home, at PAS
President Street, while his wife stood
at his right shoulder watching him. The
weapon suddenly was discharged, he
says, inAicting the grazing wounds on
his shoulder and cheek and striking his
wife in the temple, killing her.
The mans story might have been
accepted, in view of his own injuries,
but for the fact that stiletto and two
other loaded revolvers were found in
the house. The detectives who ques-
toned Russo as to the uses of this
miniature armory said that his answers
were conflicting.

PLAN HOT ATTACK
ON CANNERY BILL.
Fire Commissioner and
Civic Delegates Will
Go to Albany.

There will be lively session at Al
bany tomorrow, when the Argetsinger
bill, usually known as the "cannery
law" comes up for a hearing. LABOR
leaders will be pitted against labor
union members, and society women ard
factory girls will join hands in the
struggle against longer hours.
Fire Commissioner Adamson and two
or three members OF his STAFF viii be
present to oppose the bill, on the
ground that il breaks down the present
law for the protection Of workers from
fire. A delegation Of fully one hundred
workers will 20 to Albany from all
parts Of the state. Representatives
from the Committee on Safety, the
Consumers League and the Women's
Trade Union League, as we'll as from
the Citizens Union, the City Club, the
Woman's City Club and the Civil Ser
vice Reform Association, will take
hand in striking blow at the proposed
legislation.
One OF the chief objections Of its OPP
ponents to the Argetsinger bill is that
it would allow the present ffty-four-
hour law for women in factories 10 be
entirely suspended when machinery
breaks down. II would legslize, be-
tween June 10 and October 10. for
girls eighteen years of age and older,
employed in canneries, eighty-four
hours a week employment. work until
midnight and work on Sunday.
THE bill was hurried through with
out proper consideration" Miss Fran
ces Perkins, Of the Committee OF
Safety, said yesterday. at is our hope
that Governor Whitman may veto the
bill when he has heard our arguments
against it,"
"The passage OF the bill would affect
all workers, both men and women

sumers' League. unions all over the
state will fight together against it."
Among those who will go to Albany
tomorrow to be present at the hearing

Idaho Senator Insists Border

Body of Troops.

Washington, May s.-Increascd re
sentiment and disgust at the Mexican
situation were the only results OF the
Glenn Springs raid visible in the Sem
ate and House to-day. The Senate had
no opportunity under its calendar to
discuss the case, ana no effort was made
TO do so in the House.
Privately many members Of Congress
expressed vigorous opinions. There is
still some talk OF bringing up the sub
ject in the Senate, but the general feel
ing among opponents OF the Admins
tration is that there is no hope Of
changing the latter's attitude, while
Administration supporters are exertlng
all their strength to avoid discussion.
Senator Borsh, of Idaho, was the only
Senator who expressed himself at
length. He has opposed from the start
the decision of the Republicans not to
press the Mexican question on the
floor, and to-day felt that the situation
demanded that some one publicly call
attention TO actual conditions.
Series Of Humiiations.
81 do not suppose there is another
story in history so humiliating as our
relationship with Mexico" he said. 81
venture TO say that you will not find in
the pages of history an instance in
which a powerful nation. a nation pro-
Tossing service toward all mankind and
assuming to be the guardian of the
rights of humanity, ever has submitted,
as we have week after week and month
after month and year after year, TO the
studied and ostentatious insults, TO the
ravishment Of its women and 10 the
murder Of its men, as we have at the
hands of the MeXicans. These things
have happened 10 our people, and we
have submitted TO il not only while our
citizens were on foreign soil. though
protected by solemn treaty, but even
when they we're upon their own terri
tory and under their own flag. Leave
out for time the four years OF brutal
treatment Of our people in Mexico,
where all principles of humanity, our
treaties and our national honor re-
ouired US to protect them, and consider
alone the murders on this side OF the
border-the repeated, continued, per
sistent outrages on our citizens for the
last five years. Is it any wonder that
nowhere are our demands respected and
nowhere are our citizens protected!
I'VE ought to put enough troops upon
the border TO make absolutely safe the
lives Of our own people, and if any man
or combination of men in Mexico I'M
dertakes to embarrass US, or prevent
US from protecting the border or the
lives of our citizens, or Furnishing those
who murder our citizens, We should
consider them as enemies and treat
them as such"

A. J. McQuatters, president OF the
Alvarado Mining and Smelling Com
pany. was again present at the meet
ing OF the American and Mexican orl-
GERS.
In FL Paso tonight the feeling grew
that the situation had taken on added
gravity following the raid in the Big
Bend district. 1t was reported on good
authority that most of to-day's confer
ence had to do with ;he raid and the
steps TO be taken TO dispense bandits
in Northern Coahuila. New demands
were presented to the Mexican repre-
sentatives, II was said, which would in
clude cooperation Of the Mexican and
American troops in districts not hither-
to touched in the negotiations.
Whatever the reply OF the Mexican
Minister of War, II was evident that
he wished 10 gain more time. The con-
ference began at 4:55 p. m. and ended
in Just an hour and fifteen minutes.
Tonight more telegraphic converse
tions between General Oregon and
General Carranza at the provisional
capital took place
The conferrees could be seen through
the window of General SCOTS private
car throughout the meeting. General
0bregon shrugged his shoulders now
and then and shook his head. Generals
Scott and Funston appeared deter
mined and at times spoke animatedly.
More Troops Needed
Lack Of troops to give sufficient pro-
lection to border towns is handicapping
the American army and may enable the
Mexicans who raided Glenn Springs and
Bozuillas. Tex, to escape safely into
the hills of Coahuila
When asked tonight IL additional
troops would be sent to pursue the
raiders, General Funston said: 81 have
no more to send" Four troops OF
cavalry have been sent into the Big
Bend country to take up the trail. To
send them there required taking two
troops from FL Paso, where they are
needed constantly for border protection
above and below this city. Il also
took two troops from Fort Clark and
away from a border district that is
deemed 10 be constantly in danger.
For weeks the Texas border towns
have been appealing TO the War De-
partment for better protection. Only
week or two ago appeals were sent
by residents of the Big Bend country,
which were referred 10 General Fun
ston for investigation.
Appeals sent through Senator Morris
Sheppard were given 70 the War De
partment, and the people in a district
which has been under Mexican threat
for five years began TO count upon re-
lief. They now are learning that il
required all the mobile force the United
States has at its command TO send
General Pershing's army into Mexico
and that border raids hereafter may
go unavcnged because there are not
enough troops available to send armies
