REvERSES JUDGMENT
AGAINST CARUSO
Court Holds Chauffeur's Oral
Contract Unenforceable.

Enrico Caruso. the tenor, will be
pleased TO learn that he has been alb
solved from the payment of 1878, for
which amount Vittorio Franco, his for
mer chauffeur. obtained verdict in
III. Municipal Court. The Appellate
Term Of the Supreme Court reversed
the lower court yesterday on the ap-
peal Of Caruso and dismissed the case.
Franco said he had an oral contract
with the singer. made IN February,
1915. under which he was re-engaged
as chauffeur from October. 1915, TO
April, 1916. Justice Cohalan writing
the opinion of the Appellate Term said
that the oral contract, being for less
than a year, was not enforceable. The
decision said that the justice, OF the
Municipal Court erred when he held
that the new contract was merely an
extension of the one made in Febru'
arv. 1915.

AGREE ON ARMY
OF 100000 MEN
Conferrees Decide to Fed
eraIize State Militia and
Drop Volunteer Reserve.
Prom The Tribune Bureau J

Washington, May 13.-House snd
Senate conferrees to-day agreed on a
bill providing for an army Of 100000
men in time of peace and capable OF
being expanded in time of war to
254.OOO. They agreed on federalized
national guard of 425,OOO as reserve
force. but rejected the volunteer army
scheme.
The compromise is a victory for the
preparedness advocates, in that the
measure provides $4,000 more men than
the House bill provided, and defeat,
in that the militia advocates succeeded
in eliminating the volunteer reserve.
The standing army Of 100000 men
will include 5,723 Philippine Scouts
400 men in the quartermasters de-
partment, 1890 in the medical corps
3387 in the signal corps, and approx
mately $3.50 unassigned recruits a
total Of 81 $50 men.
The bill probably will be passed by
both Houses without change, as the
,roup Of advocates of a larger army is
zoo small to overcome the paclist
majority, especially in the House OF
representatives. The measure Will De

Villa Support Weakens.
By E. T, Conkle.


Ell Paso, March 3O.-A peaceful So
luton of relations between the United
States and Mexico seems nearer than
at any time since Pancho Villa raided
Columbus. The failure of attempts on
both sides of the border to make the
expedition appear like actual inter
vention pleased American and Car
ranzista consuls. They did not doubt
that "rumor factories at Ell Paso and
elsewhere started stories of threat
ened general Mexican uprisings and
racial antagonisms with the object of
inflaming the United States toward
intervention.
These officials pointed to the very
friendly reception the MeXicans gave
the American expedition as proof that
all rumors of enmity were baseless.
Villas inflammatory speeches and ar
ticles in Mexican newspapers pub
lished near the border were alike un-
successful.
Villa told the poems that the Ameri-
cans were coming to massacre and
burn, and that the negro troops ate

but later returned, reassured by the
Americans friendly attitude, and by
their habit of paying literally for all
food taken.
Practically the only converts to Vii
las cause have been made at the muz-
zles of rifles. Carranzas s cooperation
is becoming more pronounced Though
many problems remain, principally
that of Americans using Mexican rail-
ways, both sides are confident of a
speedy adjustment of all difficulties.
! The pursuit has been carried on be-
hind a curtain of silence maintained
by the authorities, er1ectually pre-
venting the outside world from learn
ing the American troops where
abouts.
1t is believed that by this time they
have reached the mountains of south
ern Chihuahua and that the United
States forces are advancing slowly be-
cause of danger to their communica-
tion lines. The vanguard is crossing
high mountains and experiencing
greater obstacles than the troops met
while marching between Columbus and
Casas Grandes.
"Vila is foe to Mexican liberty"
said General Gavira today. "He is a
menace to American safety. He has
robbed and murdered Americans and
MeXicans. There is no sympathy for
him on this side of the border. 1t is
important to permanent peace that he
be captured and slain.'

Villa declared Carranzista Consul
Garcia. 81 can say officially that Car
rama is anxious for Villas capture
and destruction. He regards Villa as
a menace to American and Mexican
liberty"
He condemned efforts to force inter
vention, intimating that foreign inter
ests might be forwarding such
schemes in order to preserve their rich
concessions in Mexico. The value of
these concessions mounts into the bill
lions and it is estimated that the land
cost these alien proprietors s cents
an acre. Peon labor quickly earned
millions for the foreigners. According
to Carranzistas, the concession holders
believed that temporary control
through intervention would enable them
to confirm their titles. Constitutional
ist officials deplore the antagonism to
the presidents policies. as they be,
lieve that the opposition to them tends
toward intervention.
"Such efforts" said Garcia, care
bound to fail. The de facto govern
ment wishes to remain at peace with
