PLAN FOR REGULAR ARMY 0F I75,O0O
 TIME OF PEACE

Washington. May 11-Agreement of senate and house conferees on the army reorganization bill is expected tomorrow, and the committee tonight ordered 2 tentative print of the re port with thc few sections still left in dispute.
 A deadlock was in prospect after stormy mo: ming session, but this afternoons session was calm, and re- sulfs came quickly.
 So far as could be learned tonight, the regular army to be provided would aggregate 175,00O fighting men in time of peace. organized in accord With the elastic system provided in the senate bill, so that it might be expanded to 5000 in an emergency. The ma ional guard would aggregate 100000 men, required to take an oath of allegiance to the national govern men and to be given representation on the general staff of the army.
 The house amen dment to the senate bill for a government nitrate plant was accepted

 San Francisco, May 12.-Another lifeboat, containing body believed to be that of John G. Dennis. second officer of the sunker steamer Roanoke, was picked up today by the Pacific Mailliner City of Para, according to a radio message received from that ves- sel late today.

GOVERNOR ASSUMES
 TOO MUCH.

Governor Hays has placed an Ar kansas law in the mere scrap Of paper" class by announcing that llenceforth he will not "act upon a petition for clemency" unless he is shown that the petition for pardon has been published at least one time in the Little Rock Democrat.
 The governors change of tactics for he has granted many pardons recently without requiring the peti- tons to be published, as required by iaw-is doubtless due to the action of the circuit cour. of OsceOla. where two men sentenced for contempt and and pardoned by the governor were ordered brought back into court be- cause the pardons were not issued in conformity with law.
 The statutes provide that the gov ernor shall not consider any petition for pardon or remission of forfeiture of bail bond unless accompanied by affidavit of the county clerk or of two persons known to be cseditable" that the petition, together with the signatories and the ground upon which the pardon is asked has been published in two issues of weekly newspaper in the county where the offense was committed. There is sense in this law. The people of the county where an offense is commit ted are more interested in the pun ishment of the criminal than those of any other community, and it was to mako sure they would be put on notice that the law referred to was enacted.
 The governor has ignored the sta- tutes until courageous court has called halt Now. with his usual propensity for lodging, he is attempt ing to make bluff a compliance with the law and yet continue the ir- regular issuance of pardons. In doing so, he strikes at the legal privi- leges Of the people, and at the in- come of the country newspapers.
 The main thing, however, is to let 1he people who are interested know. as intended by the framers of the law. Publishing notice of application for
 
 pardon for an offender convictsd in Bradley county, for instance, will not serve to put the people of Bradley on notice as would the publication of the application in the Warren paper with the largest circulation. And the same situation obtains in every case.

SCOTT REACHED
 UNDERSTANDING WITH 0BREGON
lContlnued from Page I.)

matic discussion of the withdrawal suggestions proceeds. It is possible that neither side will endeavor to force the negotiations while the dis turbed condition along the border continues.
 Funston Boss on Border.
 General Funston returns to San An tonic with his original orders altered in no way He has full authority to dispose his men either in Mexico or along the border.
 Renewed indications were given that the administration has no inten- tion of withdrawing American troops until it is definitely established that the danger of further border raids has been removed. The president will take no further steps until General Scott returns from the border. The administration considers the next move up to General Carranza.
 In the meantime American troops will be so arranged that they will be ready to .meet any eventuality and protect the American border.
 Secretary Baker laid before the cabinet latest information from Gen eral Scott, and said that for the pres ent he thought there were sufficient American troops along the border to handle the situation.
 COnferees in Accord.
 Eliseo Arredondo, General Carran- za's ambassador. said diplomatic ne- gotiations would not be resumed un- til he had been instructed. It was thought probable General Carranza would communicate to him the result of the border conference. Belief was expressed at the Mexican embassy

Carranza's de facto government will last about as long as the pro- verbil snowfall in hades if the first chief forces break with the U. S. by Iinsisting upon the imme diate with drawal of the American troops. The navy board has already worked out a plan for a complete blockade of Mexico, and CarranZa's followers will desert him as rapidly as rats quit sinking ship as soon as the ports cease to be sources of revenue.
