as they should. In the first game.
Witt and veach did all the hitting.
but the rest were helpless. In the
second. however. Witt. Bush, Burns
and Cobb among them corralled
nine blows. Burns taking three Of
them. That would make II appear
as II there were merit in the new
scheme. even though there was far
from enough scoring from that sort
OF clouting.
Dauss IL not right. He pitched a
poor game yesterday and has been

Neither Cunningham nor Shore got
away well In the second game. and
they both were jerked, The support
given by the Tigers was about a.

richly deserved its trimming.
The Tigers should win today.

As Well as Some Pronounced
Successes over the italians
North of Arsiero.

Verdun and the southern Tyrol
remain the centers of current military
activity. Before the French fortress
the tide of battle is flowing now with
one cambatant and then with anoth-
er.
With the Austro-Italian front The
advantage seems Still to remain with
the Austrians, who continue pushing
their offensive vigorously, although
in most sections the Italian resist
ance is apparently increasing in ef-
fectiveness.
Northeast of yerdun, the terri
tory about Fort Douaumont Is holy
disputed ground. The Germans are
holding their own in the trenches
recently won there, but their efforts
to advance further have been frus-
trated by the strength OF the French
defense. In the Thiaumont wood
sector nearby, the Crown Princes
troops scored again southwark.
Engagements in Progress.
On the other bank OF the Meusc
to the northwest of Verdun, en-
gagements of probably equal inten-
sity are in progress. In a vicious
midnight attack the French succeed
ed in forcing their way into the vii
lage of Cumieres, which the Ger
mans captured last week, but Berlin
declares that the village was soon
cleared of the French forces who had
penetrated 1t, a few score OF them
falling into the hands Of the Ger
mans in the process.
Italian and Austrian accounts are
at variance concerning the progress
OF the campaign In the Trentino.
Rome admits retirement from an
advanced position on the Astico
river, but claimes that a sanguinary
defeat was inflicted upon the Aus
trfans in the Lagarinas valley and
that they have been held In check
along all the other sectors of the
front. Tho Austrians, 1t is pointed
out in news dispatches, have failed
in their two weeks offensive to at
tain their object of forcing their way
into the Arsa valley and so winning
the road to Venetian provinces.
Austrian Successes.
a sweeping success in the cap
ture OF the entire mountain ridge
from Cornocicampe Verde to Maat.
and pronounced successes over the
Italians north OF Arsiera, where the
crest of Monte Clmone has been
captured. The taking of Batalo, in
the Upper Bosnia valley also Is
claimed.
There is pronounced activity now
in the Balkans. artillery engagements
along the entire Macedonian front.
where the Franco-British forces and
the armies Of the Teutonic allies are

CARRANZA WILL NOT USE
MEXICO'S ARMED FORCES
To Back Up His Note but viii
Be Satisfied with a Grad
uaI Retirement.
NOTE is BASED ON UNREST
General 0bregon and Many
Other Officials Are Satisfied
That Villa Is Dead.


WASHINGTON. May 27-The ad-
ministratlon' determination not to
consider any proposal for immediate
withdrawal of the American expedi-
tlonary force In Mexico was further
emphasized today. when officials
made 1t clear that the question of
withdrawal would not be discussed in
any form at the conferences to be
held by General Pershing, commando
er of tho expedition. and General Ca
vlra, Carraiza's commander OF Chi
huahua. While the details OF the
conference were being worked out.
the state department heard unof-
hcially today that even should Car
ranza's forthcoming note demand
immediate withdrawal, he would not
insist at the point OF nm armed effort
to expel the American troops, but
would be satisfied with. some arr
rangement for gradual retirement as
defacto armies assume control OF the
bandit-ridden territory south of the
border.
Official information regarding the
contents OF the Carranza communlcn-
tion still was lacking, but there
would be little surprise here IL IL.
made peremptory demand for with
drawal Its phraseology. officials ex-
pect, will be dictated largely by the
domestic political situation In Maxi
co, whore continued presence Of the,
American troopers is said to have
caused much popular unrest.
Charles A. Douglass, former coiii-
sci for General Carranza here, con-
ferred with Counsellor Polk today
and told him OF many conferences he
had with General Carranza during
his recent visit to Mexico City. He
Is said to have given the counsellor
much confidential information as to
the attitude of the defacto officials.
General obregon and many other
officials are satisfied that villa Is
dead" said Mr.. Douglass. 1T too am
of that opinion. He has not been
seen either by Mexican or American
soldiers for over two months. II is
not his nature to stay in seclusion so
long,.
An urgent deficiency appropria-
ton OF $685. 900 to meet obliga-
tions coming due on the border and

day by Secretary Baker. OF this
amount $2,297,975 is for transportn-

IS NOT TO BE CONSIDERED BY THE UNITED STATES AT ALI
DIR. Arthur w. Waite is
Found Guilty by a Jury
OF the Murder of Peck
And Sentence of Death by
EleCtrocution Now StareS
Him in the Face.

NEW YORK, May 27.-Convlcted
of murder in the first degree for
poisoning his father-in-law, John f.
Peck, millionaire drug manufacturer
Of Grand Rapids, Mich, DR.. Arthur
Warren Waite is tonight in the
Tombs prison where he will remain
until Justice Clarence ]. Shearn GER
tlfles him In June to death In the
electric chair. Walter R. Deuel., the
young dentists chief counsel, said to-
night the verdict of guilty was n
proper one. He declared all that
could be done for the defendant had
been done, In the trial which ended
today.
One of Mr.. Deuel's assistants said,
nevertheless, that preparations were
being made to take an appeal at
Sonce. Mr.. Deuel. was in consultation
with his client for few minutes af-
ter Waite was remanded to his cell
In the Tombs this afternoon.
District Attorney Swan said to-
night that If an appeal were taken,
his office would be ready in ten days
to argue the case in the higher courts.
May Issue Impression"
Waite declined to make any state
ments from his cell, but said he might
issue some impression" later. That
he was inclined to accept the verdict
as final and was resigned to his fate
fate seemed to be indicated by his
remark, this Is a great relief" as
he was led from the court room. The
dentist who admitted not only the
murder of Mr.. Peck but also that OF
Mrs. Peck, his mother-iu-law, and
who admitted that he attempted to
kill .his5wife,ss aunt, Miss Katherine
Peck, apparently had no doubt that
the jury would convict him.
AS the jury retired, he turned, to
his brother, Frank, and said. the
fury should not be out Ave minutes.
II was a long drawn out proceeding.
Half an hour later he remarked, II
don't understand this" You should
not talk that way" said Frank. "They
may be finding you not guilty" "oh,
YES. they will find me guilty" insist
ed DR.. Waite.
Trial is Brief.

Harry X. Thaw's first trial occupied

Leaving the court room at 1920
n. m. the jury was out only one hour
and twenty-five minutes. After re-
turning the verdict the foreman de-
clared the jurors had made a COM
pact not to reveal the nature OF their
deliberations.
The young dentist preserved his
nonchalent demeanor, not only while
facing the jury to learn his fate, but
after he was led back to the Tombs
prison. Throughout the trial he
seemed unmoved by any human feel

deliberate attempts to kill Mr.. Peck,
