GAVIRA-PERSHING FARLEY
EXPECTED TO BE FUTILE

Ell PASo, Tex. May 26.-Opinion was
expressed here today that the proposed con-
ference between General Gabriel Gavira,
the commander OF the Carranzlsta forces on
the border. and Brigadier General John j.
Pershlng will come TO naught, If 1t is held
at all.
According to General Gavira, the con-
ference is sought to arrange for co-opera-
ton in patrol duty General Gavira's
sphere of activity has been enlarged to
such an extent by General Alvaro Obregon,
the Minister OF War in the de facto Gov
ernment of Mexico. that he now has jurls-
diction over all the border territory in Mex
leo from Coahuila to Sonora. He declared
today his purpose In seeking a conference
was to prevent the possibility OF friction
between the Carranzista and American
troops doing patrol work, and this could
easily be arranged II Brigadier General
Pershing would inform him as TO the pre-
else location of the American forces
81 have just been placed in command OF
all the Mexican forces on the border and
naturally II Is desirable that know ex-
actly where the American patrol forces are
located in order that / can place my pa
trolls where they will not come in conflict
with the Americans" said General Gavira
The Mexican commander expressed the
opinion that II would not be necessary for
Brigadier General Pershing TO get permits
sion from Washington or from Major Gen
eral Funston. TO hold such a conference.

MAYOR AND POLICEMAN
DEMUR TO MANDAMUS
File Objection to Proceedings in
Which Political Activity
Is Alleged

Mayor Smith and the other defendants,
against whom mandamus proceedings we're
instituted prior to the election to force the
dismissal of police officers for political
activity, today filed a demurrer In Com
mon Pleas Court No. l. making a technical
attack on the petition asking for the man.
damus
In addition to the Mayor, Police Lieu
tenants John Echtermeyer and Frank Hus-
ter and Policemen Thomas. Bromley and
George Barber concurred In filing the de-
murrer. These men were among those whose
removal was asked on account of alleged
political sctivlty
The demurrer is based upon the con-
tention that the petition for the mandamus
does not have sufficient basis In law to
authorize the court to grant writ against
the Mayor.
II is also averred in the demurrer that
the Mayor Is without authority or power to
dismiss either the leutenants or the police
men summarily for the reasons stated by
the petitioner, as the Act of 1886 (Bulltt
BID provides that policemen and hremen
can be dismissed only after a trial and ii
lodges the power Of fixing the penalty TO be
imposed on the offenders. II found guilty
in the Director of Public Safety. and the
act provides that the findings of any court
of trial or inquiry of policemen shall be of
no effect until approved by the Mayor
Further grounds of demurrer are as
follows:
That there Is no allegation in the petit
tion that the Mayor has approved the
findings of the Police Board of Trial, If
any trial was held
THAT the matters for which mandamus
is sought are matters within the discretion
of the Mayor.
That there is no allegation that the
Mayor used his discretion or that he used
1t or neglected to use 1t in bad faith
That the act known as the Shern law
imposes no duty on the Mayor to dismiss
policemen from the service in any other
manner than that prescribed by the Bullitt
bill"
In conclusion the demurrer declares that
the petition for the mandamus Is defective
in other respects, lacks the requisite aver
ments for judicial action and is vague in
formal and insufficient. Under these cir
cumstances 1t is averred the court is without
jurisdiction to grant the petition and the
respondents ask that the petition for a
writ of alternative mandamus be dissolved,
The demurrer will be heard by Court
No. 1 on date yet to be lxed. ''
