Washington May 6.-The so-called fizarro- Cortez conference at Kennesaw, Ga, in October, 1896, at which Milton H. Smith, president of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad company. and the late Samuel Spencer, president of the Southern railway, discussed plans for di- viding the railroads of the south between them, was explained in detail in the clos ing hours today of Mir Smiths cross examination before the interstate com merce commission. #f 'e&t
 Tn correspondence which was alleged to have passed between Messrs. Smith and Spencer thereafter the writers likened themselves to Pizarro and Cortez, Spanish explorers, who met to divide North and South America. At today's proceedings Joseph w. Folk, counsel for the com mission, read the stenographer's transcript of what was said at the Kennesaw con ference and asked MT. Smith if the al Ieged agreement was carried out.
 WAS NOT CARRIED OUT
 If you want to know all recollect about it,, the witness replied, I'll say this: When we purchased the Lexington and Western railway. Arthur Carey, its president, called the Pizarro-C Cortez mat ter to my attention He said that George M. Davey, a Louisville attorney had said in some court proceeding, I think, that Spencer and Smith were Pizarro and toIy; 1ayic nd the other South America
 MT Folk asked if proposals made at the conference that each road purchase lines touching it, and not the other road, were carried out
 That sort of stuff did very well for the time being" the witness replied, ito pass the time away, but practically no attention was paid to it. In 1901 or 1902 there was antagonism between Pizarro alids Gortez, and they did not~get on to- gether at alt No attention was then paid to that conference in acquiring or dis posing of roads
 Was there ever any variation from this plan to divide the south?
 No consideration was ever given to it
  Folk asked.
 q may have done it" MT. Smith re- piled
 Spencer and were friendly for years and seemingly We met to spend day or two.''
 'In what way was your arrangement with MT. Spencer departed from?"
 DIDN'T BUY, ROADS
 'The Louisville and Nashville didn't acquire any of the roads," MT. Smith said. "The only thing covered in that memorandum on which we had an un- derstanding was the line from Atlanta to Knoxville. and that was not ac- quired.''
 MT. Folk read from the memorandum of the conference an extract quoting MT. Smith as asking whether the L. & N. or the Southern should control the P. T. and A.. the Tennessee Midland. the Decatur. Chesapeake and New Or and the Nashville and Knoxville roads
 Were these roads finally disposed of in accordance with your confer ence?o he asked
 'The P. T. and A. and the Tennes- see Midland seem to have been ac- quired by the l.. & N.." the witness said
 Those lines was of no possible use to the Southern railway. They could not well go anywhere else than to the

MEANS BETTER COOPERATION

MEANS BETTER COOPERATION
 Washington, May 6.-General Carranza' s approval of the Scott-Obregon agree ment, announced in news dispatches to- night, is expected to clear the way for more thorough cooperation between the American and Mexican troops in the campaign against Villa. It already has been approved by President Wilson
 Details of the agreement never have been made public, but it is understood to provide for more extensive use SSSe railroads by the American forces and to establish a definite understanding on many questions which officials here and in Mexico City have feared might lead to clashes between the Americans and the Carranza soldiers. Reports that d definite date had been set for withdrawal of General Pershing's expedition have been officially denied
 No official notification of General Car ra anza's decision had reached Washington late tonight and officials were in igno- rance as to the minor points of the plan on which the first chief was reported as reserving decision. No real obstacle to an agreement is believed to have been interposed.

THE DOTY INCIDENT

Representative Dent of the Second, has two opponents. Mike Screws ot Montgomery. and Or. Sanders of Green ville From this point. 1t is gathered that the race is between Dent and Screws. with the former reasonably certain of success MT. Dent is one of the able members of the Alabama delegation. and during this session, by virtue of his position of vice chairman of the committee on military affairs. in great measure, has had charge of the biggest problem confronting Com gress-that of preparing this country for possible wars of the future.
 The campaign in the Second was without noticeable incident until Ed ward Doty, editor of the Andalusia Star, after having retired one night an ardent supporter of Dent, got up the following morning. his bitterest en- emy. Th~ seople of the Second. noting the violence of Doty's attack against his friend of an hour previous, doubt 1essly were shocked-but not more so than Alabamians in Washington with whom, a few days ago, the distin- guished editor had mingled in amity.
 MT. Doty was applicant for postmas- ter in his home city. But his ambi- tion, apparently, was not weighing on his soul For he voluntarily and re- peatedly stated In Washington that ir- respective of MT. Dents action in rec ommending the appointment of post master. he and his newspaper would continue to go down the iine' for the representative, with whom he was ob viously enamoured, and of whom he was extravagant in praise. With the interest of the representative in mind, the editor cautioned him against mak- ing the Andalusia appointment until after the primary election, and as . result of that declaration, his subse- quent criticism of the delay in naming

ABERCROMBIE AND ROBSON CANNOT

Burnett and Almon Seem to Be Sure Winners, While Dents Friends Assure Him He Is Safe
By HUGH ". ROBERTS

w nld O--t sOPSCldl+ --7ANO man Ion the ground" notes with more intense interest the approach of Tues day, May g. than the several members of the Alabama congressional delega- tion who have opposition in their eff forts to secure reelection.
 As generally known. five of the nine members who represent districts have opposition, and Representative Aber- crombie, who represents the state ar large is a candidate against Represent tative Blackmon of the Fourth. It is readily deduced. as a result, that there is and has been very strong Wash ington angle to the Alabama situa- tion
 While neither of the senators is per- sonally involved, both are deeply in terested in the possible outcome. For the son of Senator Bankhead, William B. Bankhead. is opposed in the Tenth by Captain Hobson, who formerly rep resented the Sixth. Senator Underwood is personally interested in the race for national committeeman between E. r. Smith and Borden Burr As is remem- bered some weeks ago he declared for Smith, and gave party reasons for his action and not the seurrilous card published in attacking his character by Burr and associate satellites

BERNSTORFF IS SILENT

Count Von Bernstorff the German am bassador, returned today from New York. He said he had no instructions from his Secretary Lansing, and that he did not intend to go to the state department un- less he should be so instructed by Ser lin or Secretary Lansing should invite him to call. Officials would not be sur- prised. however, if the ambassador should be instructed to call upon Secretary Lam sing next week, after he and President Wilson have had sufficient time in which to reach conclusions.
 The official text of the German note was made public today by the state de- partment. Ambassador Gerard, in trans mitting the document, said he had re- ceived copies in both German and Eng fish, probably accounting for the fact that both the official and unofficial yer sions are so nearly identical
 A slight difference in the texts occurs in that paragraph where the unofficial version says that Germany has decided to make further a concession adapting the methods of submarine warfare to the interests of neutrals.' Ill the official text the words fin adapting appears in place of the word adapting" A further difference has to do with an omission, probably due to an error in cable trans mission. The words in the unofficial yer sion several attempts made by the gov ernment of the United States to prevail upon preceding the words the British government to act accordingly. failed be- cause of flat refusal on the part of the British government are missing from the official text, the omission being indicated
 The only other discrepancy is that the unofficial version speaks in one place of the ''inconti overtible rights" to freedom of the seas, while the official text em- blows the term "incontestible.''

Field Headquarters, near Namiquipa. (By wireless to Columbus, N. M, May s)-A full squadron of 230 men of the Eleventh cavalry surprised and routed a much larger force of Villa bandits at Ojo-Azules, 10 miles south of Cushuira- chic early Thursday morning. Forty two Mexicans were killed and a number wounded. There were no American cas- ties.
 The American command, under Maj. Robert l.. Howze, had been pursuing the bands under Generals Cruz Dominguez and Jul% Acosta for several days, when they encountered them encafnped in the
 The Mexicans were completely sur prised and sprang from their pallets half clothed. After firing a few wild shots they began flight, each man shifting able to seize their horses, already jaded from a hard days ride previously, but others fled into the hills afoot.
 STILL AFTER BANDITS
 Major Howze reported he was still pur- suing the scattered remnant of the band, which is the largest remaining under the Villa standard It is believed the band is the same that was defeated at Te- mochic on Apri, g by Colonel Dodd s command.
 Further reports from Major Howze stated that Gen. Antonio Angeles was killed. He was a relative of Felipe An geles, the former confidant of Villa, who was once mentioned for the presidency of Mexico and who is now living near El Paso.
 The Howze column struck the bands of Mexicans near Ojoazutes after an all night cross-country ride at 5:45 in the morning. More than 50 of the fugtives were rounded up by Americans after the engagement.
 The column had marched 36 miles through the mountains during the night and attacked without resting either men or horses. It consisted of six picked troops of the Eleventh cavalry and one machine gun detaer 1t.
 Major Howe reports to General Persh- ing that they are continuing their chase.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-05-07
OPINION IS DIVIDED

Opinion as to whether the note requires an answer seems divided. Decision rests with the President, and until he has made up his mind. 1t is unlikely that an official expres sion of opinion will be forthcoming. So far he has not indicated to anyone his final judgment in the matter. I It is entirely possible that no note will be sent for the present. at least. and that the President will maintain com plete silence for time, allowing Ger many to demonstrate on her own behalf the good faith of her intention to carry out the policy indicated in her new orders to submarine commanders.
 Although the President realizes that the promises given are the cardinal clements of the note, he is understood to be dis pleased over the language used and the conditions apparently attached.
 Should the note be accepted as satis- factory and a reply sent, it Is expected Germany that the United States has de- cided not to sever diplomatic relations as long as the new submarine orders remain effective and are observed.
 Several members of the cabinet were rot in Washington today. Secretary Lam sing left tonight to spend the week end at Annapolis, taking with him an official copy of the German note. He expects to have fully digested it's state ments by the time of his return Monday.
 The only intimation regarding the per sonal attitude of President Wilson was obtained today from persons close to af- fairs of the White House, who described m as feeling himself in a position where T'd not question Germany's good faith .iless the declarations made by the German government should not prove effective.
