Scott to Meet ObregOn
in JuareZ To-day

fFrorn . star Correspondent o, The Tribunel
FL Paso, Tex, April 27.-Ehorts by
the United States to inject financial or
other matters into the conference to be
held here Saturday by General Hugh
L. Scott. for the United States. and
General Alvaro Obregon, for Mexico
will defeat the purpose Of the CONFER
ence.
Funston and Scott are expected IN
FL Paso tomorrow. They will be met
here By General George Bell, jr.. com
manding border troops at this point
and officers from Fort Bliss. Because
General Obregon, as Minister OF war
has q higher rank than General Scout,
the American generals will call upon
him first to exchange greetings. Inc
visit TO General Obregon will be made
tomorrow afternoon, the American
commanders going TO Juarez in auto
mobiles. General Obregon tomorrow
evening probably will formally return
the call, coming 70 FL Paso with his
staff.
The belief Of Mexican officials that
the conference is being held a: the re-
quest Of the Uuited states and Is
merely acquiesced in by the Carranza
government has become so strong that
they think there can be but one out
come the prompt withdrawal OF Amer
lean troops.
On Saturday morning the conference
will be opened in Juarez. according TO
present plans. After a preliminary
discussion the ctnferees are expected
10 come to FL Paso for final settle
ment OF the points at issue. While
Mexican officials have plainly Indicated
what they think will be discussed at
the conference, there has been no in
timation from the American army men
as 70 the representations TO be made
TO General Obregon on behalf of the
American government.
That demands will be made covering
a broader field than the pursuit OF
Villa or the suppression Of bandits
appears 10 be beyond question. The
attitude OF Carranza soldiers toward
the American troops in Mexico. plainly
antagonistic for weeks. will, IT Is be-
lieved. be used in arguments made by
General Scott.

Washington, April 27.--More than
enough House Democrats refused TO 30
bound tonight by caucus rule TO in
sure the defeat Of the Philippines in
dependence bill in its present form.
The caucus, by vote of 140 to 50, de-
cided TO favor the bill just as it passed
the Senate, except for the prohibition
amendment There will be no party
lineup on the question of striking
out this provision.
Defeat for the Clarke amendment
was virtually conceded after the caucus
when Chairman Jones, who had led the
fight for the Senate bill unamended,
declared that some independence meas
ure for the Philippines would be put
through at this session. even IL the
period before the granting Of full free
dom should have to be stretched to
ten years instead of from two TO four
years. as provided in the Clarke
amendment.
Secretary Saunders OF the caucus
was swsmped just after the vote with
announcements by members chat they
could not be bound by the caucus ac
tion. but would be compelled to "ab
solve" themselves from its orders.
His official list afterwards showed
these twenty-eight members as having
demanded "absolution":
The discussion ended without action.

We are engaged in, to bring about
dissension of a political character
in relation to the Irish question"
Sir Edwards remarks were greet
ed with cheers. He was followed
by Mr.. Redmond, who said:

sary. Perhaps ought to give ex-
preston on behalf of my col

of Ireland. to the feeling OF detes-
tatIon and horror with which we
have regarded these proceedings.

country will attempt to use what

BUSY COOK SAILS
BERI-BERI SHIP
Miserable, Dopey Lub-
bers," Captain Calls
His Grew.

Between beri-beri and "the poorest,
miserablest, dopiest, lot of lubbers
that ever walked a deck" Captain Emil
Carlson, Of the trim American schooner
Triton, was almost distracted when he
brought his ship In yesterday from
Liberia. He brought cargo of palm
oil and nuts, coffee and twenty tusks OF
ivory. Eighty-three days it took the
Triton for the run from Cass River on
the West African coast, and she would
be still drifting out in the Gulf Stream
if il had not been for the cook. For
thirty long days the cook and the cap
tain handled the ship alone. Beri-beri
had done for the rest.
Four Of the crew of nine men were
taken ashore at Quarantine as soon as
the schooner anchored off Stspleton.
The captain himself WAS still groggy
from the effects of beriberi, but he
decided to stick by his ship. The sails
lay unfurled as they had fallen, but
there was no one left on board with
energy enough 10 make things ship
shape.
Cook One Busy Man.
Fred Bredin, cook, sailor, navigator,
steward and general handy man about
the ship, was the first TO greet news
paper men who visited the schooner
II was evident that the only reason he
had not furled the sails single handed
and generally tidied up. was that he
had been busy with supper. Numbness
and swelling that are Characteristic OF
the tropical disease had sent the cap
tain TO his bunk, but he hobbled out TO
tell the story OF his strange voyage.
"Since we sailed from here on Octo-
Der o." the captain said, "the only fresh
meat we've had was from couple OF
sheep and a COW we got over there about
Christmas time. The only greens we
had were some sweet potato leaves.
I've got New York water in our tanks
yet for drinking. bu. every other drop
on board is that brackish we can hardly
use il TO cook with.
"Our troubles began about as soon
as We left Monrovia on the way home.
The cook was took first. but il was only
coast fever he had. When he got well
I came down with il. With me IT

one of the sailors keeled over and his

runs the donkey engine, his legs began
70 swell. The next one to get 1t was
Tom Murray, the mate. Hes been laid
up for five weeks. Another sailor took
il, too, after while.
Declares Germans Failed Him
"Only for .he cook I'd never have
got this vessel back. He done every
thing on deck that any man could do.

CANADA RAID HID
In TEUTON PICNIC
LOudOn Tells How 10000
Were to Invade Dominion
on Excursion Craft.

Canada is threatened with invasion
and capture by German picnickers,
wienerwurst bands and saengerbunds.
An army OF 10000 men. armed with
sausages, kegs Of beer and other deadly
adjuncts Of German picnic, is de-
clared to have been in readiness to
swoop across the border ever since the
fall of 1914.
The invaders were 70 carry sawed-of
shotguns, dismembered rapid fire guns
and other weapons that might be con-
cealed in super-lunch baskets.
The story unexpectedly fell from the
lips of the former chief OF staff of the
scheduled expedition, Max Chimang,
otherwise Count Max Lynar Loudon, as
he was about to be taken TO a cell yes
terday under conviction of the less ro-
mantle crime Of bigamy. When he was
sentenced for an indeterminate period
of not more than three years by Judge
Rosalsky, in General Sessions, Chimang.
or Loudon, told all he knew of the Ger
man plots in which he already had adj
mitted participation. His conscience.
he said, finally had caused him to with
draw from the picnic expedition.
Fears Women Betrayed Him.
"I became convinced Loudon said.
"thst as an American citizen was
wronging my adopted country, so sent
information of the plot TO the War De-
partment. Meanwhile, | continued 70
take part in the preparations, but the
ringleaders Of the movement suspected
me and let me drop. The plot hasn't
come TO head yet. but am convinced
that if this country and Germany ever
90 to war these same hot-headed Ger
mans and many other German-Ameri
cans will take arms against this gov
ernment."
Loudon said $4,000 had been offered
him by military attache Of the Brit
ish Embassy for the invasion plans. He
didn't know just how he had been dis
covered as one of the plotters, but he
said. with a hslf-embarrassed shrug of
his shoulders, that he presumed some
of his numerous women acquaintances
had given him away. The offer came
through a Burns Agency detective. ne
said. and il went as far as meeting the
attache Of Sir Cecil Spring Rice in the
Hotel Biltmore last June.
"The plan was hatched in New York
in September, 1914" said Loudon. "Se-
cret meetings were held by the reserv-
lists who were unable to get back 70
Germany. It quickly spread 20 Mil

full corps was TO be made up of bril-
gades from New York and Connecticut,
Pittsburgh. Buffalo, Philadelphia. De-
troit and Milwaukee. Each brigade had
actually been under orders from COM
missioner of organization and equip
ment and wealthy Germans and Ger
man Americans had agreed 10 raise the
$4,000, 600.

Order Being Restored.

The government, the Prime Min
lister announced, was convinced that
the forces now in Ireland and those
proceeding there were adequate to
deal with the situation.
Replying to question as 10
whether the government had been
warned of a dangerous growth Of
sedition. Premier Asquith said:
"The first and paramount duty of
the government is to restore order
and to stamp out rebellion with all
possible vigor and promptitude.
That we are doing. Behind that
there is undoubtedly an obligation
which rests upon the government Of
making q searching investigation
into the causes Of and the response
bility for these events. That obi
cation we fully recognize and intend
to discharge"
John Redmond, leader Of tho Irish
Nationalist party, and Sir Edward Car
son, Cnionist leader, strong opponents
on the Home Rule question, expressed
their detestation Of the rising, and as
consequence Premier Asquith said
ne did not think it necessary to hold
a session Of the House Monday, as had
been suggested by one OF the members.
"to make clear TO the world what true
amount of support was behind the
movement"
At the rising Of the House the Homo
Secretary, Herbert Samuel, was able
20 announce receipt of information that
"over considerable districts Of ireland"
calm prevailed, and TO repeat the Prime
minister's promise that, consistent with
the military exigencies, all news avail
able would be published and necessary
facilities granted TO newspaper men.
Wrath of Members AIlayed.
Premier Asquith's promise in behalf
Of the government Of a searching in
vestigation into the origin of the move
ment and his acceptance Of full respon-
sibili,y, together with the speeches OF
the Irish Nationalist and Unionist lead
ers, expressing their desire 70 do every
thing in their power 70 assist the gov
ernment, went far 20 allay the rising
passions Of the House, which had been
shown in demands for the resignation
of Augustine Birrell, Chief Secretary
for Ireland: Baron Wimborne. the Lord
Lieutenant, and other officials alleged
90 be responsible in disrcgsrding warn
ings as to what WAS likely to happen
from the Sim Fein agitation.
Sir Edward Carson offered to place
his Ulster volunteers at the disposition
Of the government TO help in suppress
ing the rebellion.
That hopeful feeling prevailed in
Parliament was seen in the fact that no
opposition was raised TO adjournment
OF the House 70 Tuesday after the min

Verdun.
The new German activity has shown
itself at more than score of points,
with the principal fighting apparently
around Hulluch and Loos.
