Pershing Now Reports Villa In
Hiding Again.

Washington. Aug. 24.-It was an
nounced that August so VIII propapiy
be the date of the first meeting or the
international commission which VIII
undertake to settle the disputes be-
tween the United States and Mexico.
This meeting will be held in Washing
ton and attended by Secretary Lam
cling.
The purpose of the meeting here will
be to determine the scope of the work
to be taken up by the commission.
After this has, been accomplished, adj
tournment will be taken until on or
about September 6. when the formal
deliberations will be begun.
Ambassador Designate Arredondo. it
is understood, will urge that some
the permanent meeting place. This
has been approved by the administra-
ton.
Busy Until November.
Predictions were made in unofficial
Mexican quarters that the commission
would not finish its labor much, il
any. before the November elections.
This belief was based on the delay per-
mitted by this government in naming
the American members of the COM
mission
A brief report from General Per-
shing made public dovetailed so nicely
with the plans of the administration
as to cause the suggestion in Republi-
can circles that it had been inspired.
General Pershing said:
MY first reports regarding villa 9
| attack on Parral are reported incor-
rect. 1 now find that Villa is avoiding
Parral and places occupied by Car
rama troops He was making his way
south into Durango and is now prob
| ably hiding in the mountains.
| Following Is slim.
until recently Villa has been hid
| ing since being driven to the noun
tains of Southern Chihuahua by our
troops last April. His late attem.t TO
obtain a following is reported as al
most total failure. Opinion seems
| general that Villas prestige is gone
and that he can never again become a
serious factor in Mexican affairs.
| Notwithstanding this Willingness to
bring the punitive expedition hack
to the border it was stated at the war
department with some degree of defi-
| niteEess that the army of militia as a
whole will not be Withdrawn until II
had been demonstrated whether the
international commission be able to
effect a solution of the border trou-
bles and plan for securing American

 Prolonged Hie Life
DR. cALDWEIuS SYRUP PEPSIN EFFECTIVE AS A REMEDY
 FOR CONSTIPATION.

Among older people the various or gans of the body have tendency to slow up and weaken, and this is usual. ly first manifest in pronounced in activity of the bowels.
 Good health is dependent on regular ity in this important function; when ever there is the slightest indication of constipation a mild laxative should be taken to relieve the congestion and dispose of the accumulated waste. Cathartics or purgatives should not be employed. however; they are too vio- lent in action and their effect is only temporary.
 A mild laxative such as the com bination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin, known as Dr. CaldwelPs Syrup Pepsin, is the ideal remedy. It is gentle in its action. bringing relief in an easy, natural manner. without grip ing or other pain or discomfort. Is pleasant to the taste, and can be ob- tained in any drug store.
 MT. Robert LeForgee, 91S Kirkwood Boulevard, Davenport. Ewa, says he has always had bottle of Dr. Cald- wells Syrup Pepsin in the house for the past eighteen years. and that by using it occasionally as the need arises.

'M0TORCkR TOPPLES
 OVER KILLING ONE
 OF FOUR INSTANTLY
John Clone, Night Watchman at Southwest, Instantly Kill ed When Body of Machine Brushes His Skull.

When a 1912 model Buick driven by J. H. Harris turned turtle on the div ide road at the goat ranch yesterday afternoon, one man lost his life and the lives of the others were seriously endangered. John Clone. part owner of the car. who was riding in the rear seat, was killed instantly when the body of the machine crushed in his skull Stanley Walton and Wilfred and Wilfred Clone were both badly shaken up but not seriously hurt. The driver escaped without injury.
 The accident is more or less mex plicable in many respects. Another car had stopped, on its way up the divide to Bisbee, to replace tire, i'm mediately opposite the goat ranch. The driver and other occupants of the machine declare that the other car was not coming at an excessive rate of speed down the hill and when it got to a point about fifty feet in front of them it suddenly toppled over.
 aCIOluiiS lO Aioi 10, lht iN'i' "hO had been hired by Clone to drive the car over the divide for a short trip, the left front wheel collapsed and be- ing On the left hand side of the road the sudden action precipitated the car upside down. The deceased. with his son-in-law, Walton, was riding in the rear seat. Both were held under the machine but the body did not strike Walton. Harris and young Clone were in the front seat and were thrown clear of the car.
 Clone was the night watchman at the Southwest and was to have gone on his shift upon his return from the ride. He was a native of England. He is survived by two daughters, Mrs. Stanley Walton and Mrs. E. J. Bow den of Los Angeles, a son Wilfred, who was in the accident yesterday, and brother in Los Angeles. The body was taken to the O. K. Undertak- ing Company's parlors. Funeral ar engagements will be announced later. The coroner's inquest will be held Thursday afternoon at o'clock in Judge G. W. Totman's office.

 Lights and shadows at Braves Field differ greatly from those in any other park in the country. according to the players. and Carrigan coached his men with this fact in mind.
 The Athletics batted in punches in both games and there was little bril- liant fielding by either team.
