CONFER WITH mex.
Two Meetings With De FactO
Generals at Border.
Discuss Methods of Stopping
Raids by Bandits.

San Antonio, Texas, July 11.-That
American troops commanders are
seeking to work out a cooperative
scheme of border patrol with Mexican
leaders was indicated in two confer
ences announced today.
Capt. A. Van Anderson of the Sixth
cavalry talked at length with Col. Jose
Rojas at Ojinaga, and Gen. George
Bell, Jr., had a lengthy conference
with General Gonzales, Carranza COM
mandant at Juarez. 1t was known in
both cases the conversation hinged on
methods of preventing border raids.
Carranza to Propose Conference.
Washington, July 11.-General Car
rama has been notified that negotia-
-tions for the settlement of the border
difficulties need not await the return
of Secretary Lansing from his vaca-
ton.
1t is expected here that Carranza
will propose a formal conference.
rather than informal conversations be-
tween Ambassador Arredondo and the
state department. American officials
will accede to any plan which assures
quick action.
War department officials had no re-
ports upon and discount rumors of a
revolt in the Carranza garrison at Chi
huahua City. The Mexican embassy
issued a formal denial of the report.
Reports credited to American refu-
gees that two American sailors were
killed recently at Tampico when their
launch was fired upon by Carranza
soldiers were denied by the state and
navy departments. Officials said the
story was based upon an incident at
Tampico, June % or 26, when Car
rama soldiers fired upon a privately
owned American tug, and no one was
hurt.
Acting Secretary Polk in the alb
sence of Secretary Lansing attended
the cabinet meeting today and report
ed on the informal conversations he
had with Mr. Arredondo

PERSHING HALTS
Withdrawal of Troops From
Mexico Has Been Stopped.
U. S. Awaits Development of
Threatened Villa Move.

3. Washington. July 1.-THE gradual
movement of Pershing's army out of
Mexico has been stopped and the
troops are now In semi-permanent
camps some distance south of the
border.
This action has been taken, it is I'M
derstood here, on orders from the war
department because of the serious
turn taken by the Mexican situation
with the renewal of activities of Villa
and his band.
Army officers regard as significant
the fact that the state department and
the Mexican embassy have information
that Villista bandits are moving to-
ward the border in such numbers as
to cause the Mexican ambassador
designate to warn the United States
again of the danger of a raid. The
attack is supposed to be planned for
some point near Boquillas.
They do not, however. consider this
important enough to cause a change
in General Pershing's plan, as the
point Villa is said to intend to attack
is a considerable distance from the
place where he has gone into camp.
Keep Favorable Position.
The impression prevails. therefore,

SUES FOR HER CHILD


After trying for five years to Sc
cure possession of her daughter by
peaceable means, Mrs. Kate MaDin of
Burlingame today started habeas cor
pus proceedings in the probate court
of Shawnee county against Mr.. and
Mrs. Walter Rodgers who live a mile
north of Topeka.
The daughter, Vivian Ruth McKib-
bin, is years of age
About seven years ago Mrs. McKib-
bin, now Mrs. Mabin, brought suit in
the district court of Shawnee county
for a divorce from her husband, w.
Z. Atchison, now county attorney, rep
resented her. There were two chill
dren and not only did she secure a di-
vorce but was also granted the GUS
tody of the children.
Mrs. McKibbin was unable to sup
port both children and a short time
later placed the little girl, then 4
years of age, with Mr.. and Mrs. Rodg-
ers. Since then she has been in bet
ter circumstances and states that she
has made numerous trips to the Rodg-
ers home in an effort to secure pos
session of the child.
Not long ago Mrs. McKibbin was
married to Mr.. Mabin, a prosperous
farmer in Usage county. She told
him about the child near Topeka and
they agreed to try to get it even II
it was necessary to go to court. The

that it is the intention of the war de-
partment to keep General Pershing in
a favorable location in Mexico pending
the conclusion of negotiations be-
tween American and Mexican govern
ments regarding the protection of the
border. Army officers are not OPP
timistic that this will be settled salts
factorily. They appear to believe the
situation will revert to just where it
was before the recent correspondence
between the two state departments.
Acting Secretary of State Polk had
& brief conference with Ambassa dor
Designate Arredondo, after which it
was announced the negotiations have
not begun. Mr.. Arredondo told Mr..
Polk that his information regarding
the presence of Villa and his bandits
near the border had come from his
government He promised the CO.
operation of CarranZa forces to pro-
tect the border.
Officials of this government were
disappointed when they heard the ma
ture of Mr.. Arredondos communica-
ton to the state department. They
indicated that they expected Mr.. Ar
redondo would have something to say
as to the size of the force sent by
Carranza, if any, to capture the ban
dts.
Secretary of the Navy Daniels gave
out a statement from Capt. ]. r. R.
Pringle of the Dixie, to show that
there was no ground for the COM

refugees taken by the Dixie from

Chew TOBACCO
It's the Only Way That Real Tobacco
Hunger Can Be Entirely
Satisfied
"PENN's THICK" THE IDEAL CHEW

Since tobacco was first introduced
to civilization, nobody has ever dis
covered so supremely satisfactory \
way to get all the flavor and enjoy
ment out of it as chewing it. And
no other form of chew can give you
the hearty, wholesome, juicy flavor
that you get from a delicious high
grade plug tobacco, like PENIS
Thick.
The secret of the greatest chew
ing satisfaction lies in the selection
of your chew. Among plug tobac-
cos the brand that gets the most en-
thusiastic endorsements is undoubt-
edly PENIS Thick. The reason for
this is not hard to find.
PENIS Thick is made exclusively
of ripe. white Kentucky Burley-
the most rich1y-favored chewing to-
bacco that grows. Still more, only
the very choicest of all the Burnley
leaf is used for PENIS Thick, and
you get its natural flavor.
This choice leaf is selected with
the most painstaking care, is STEM
med by hand, is thoroughly washed
free of all foreign matter and Is
pressed into plugs so slowly that not
q drop of juice or an atom of the
natural flavor escapes.
The result is a sweet, mellow, lus-
cious, satisfying chew that cannot
be obtained in am other tobacco
than PENIS Thick Try loo cut
to-day.
