JOINT CONFERENCE IN
APPARENT DEADLOCK

Atlantic City, N. J., Oct. 16.-Mem-
bers of the Mexican American joint
commission appear to have little hope
that their work would be finished for
at least another week. Their confer
enceA were resumed today.
The Mexicans have not been able
thus far to satisfy the American repre-
senta tives that their government, un-
assisted can maintain such order along
the border as will safeguard life and
property of Americans.
Unofficial information reaching here
indicated it was not improbable Gen.
eral Carranza's impatience at the fail
ure pf the American government to
withdraw General Pershing's troops
might cause him to send to the state
department at any time a communica-
tion that would give the conference
a neIz aspect
The Mexicans have been told re-
repeatedly that until a satisfactory
meth pd of control has been adopted,
the withdrawal of the American troops
cannot be discussed.

WHEAT SHIPMENT
TO SOUTH AMERICA

Portland. Ore. Oct. 16.-One hundred
thousand bushels of wheat valued at
s125.000 will be transported to South
America from Portland this month, this
being the largest consignment, 1t is
said, ever going from the northwest to
the west coast of South America.

by firm in Chile when 1t was selling
on the Portland exchange at s1.25 per
bushel. For years practically no wheat
has been shipped from the northwest

SHIPS CAPTAIN
SAYS SHOT WAS
first Warming
Affidavit of Captain Smith
of the British Liner
Stephano Placed in the
Hands of Lansing.

Washington. Oct. 1e-6ecrstary Of
State Lansing has before him the afh-
davit of Captain Smith, of the British
passenger liner 6tephano. sunk by the
German submarine U-53 with Ameri-
cans aboard. declaring that the nrst
warning he had was a solid shot strik-
ing the bow of his vessel.
The affidavit was sent to the state
department by the British embassy, It
was announced today.
The British contention 10 that the
hitting of the vessel by the first shot
does not constitute warning and that
the submarine commander violated
Germany's pledges to the United States
that vessels would be warned before
being fired at.
If further evidence bears out Cap
tain Smiths affidavit, the matter may
be taken up with the German govern.
ment, It was said at the department
today.
Captain Smith said the submarine
fred three shells, the first striking the
vessel In the bow. but the other two
going wild. They were fired from q
distance of about three miles.
Before the sinking of the Etephano.
the passengers ana crew were tak0n OH
by the United States destroyer Balch,
which had appeared on the scene in re-
sponse to wireless calls previously sent
out.
While the passengers and crew were
disembarking and going aboard the
Balch the U53 had turned its attention
to the Dutch steamer Bloomersdjik and
sank 1t. The submarine then returned
and sank the Stephano.
In view of the time given the pas
sengers and the crew of the Stephano to
leave the vessel, and of the fact that
the only one of three shells fired by the
submarine hit her. some officials be-
lieve the first shot was accidental and
that therefore the case may not be
serious enough to communicate to the
German government.

clare bins are being depleted and ship

SASCO SHELTER RESUMES

TUCSON, March 9.-An agreement being signed today by which the shelter of the Southern Arizona Smelling Company at Sasco will be leased to the American Smelling & Refining Company for one year with privilege of extension for another year at $2,OOO month. While no an nouncement has come from the office of the A. s. & R. Co.,, in Tucson, it is believed that no time will be lost in blowing her in.
 The importance of this news is not only the prospect that a customs smelter will be operated again in the vicinity of Tucson with it's attendant stimulation of business, but that it provides a market for the ores from the mining districts of this section at a time when the customs smelters elsewhere are getting near the point of capacity. No matter how high the price of copper, it would not benefit this country,if there were no market for ore.
