AFFAIRS MORE TRANQUIL

The Mexican crisis has subsidized once
more and q period of respite from
anxiety has come, greatly to the relief
OF those charged with the responsible
ity for the conduct of American rela-
ions with Mexico. This CHARGE is
evidently due to the agreement effected
at al Paso between Gen. Scott and
Gen. Oregon. whatever NAV have

known of it is that it does not require
An Immediate withdrawal of the Ameri-
9 troops, and presumably it assures
the United States of the cooperation
OF the forces of the de facto govern
ment n the pursuit of the bandits.
Plainly there are influences at work in
Mexico to keep that government from
publicly tying itself up to any specified
bargain with this country in respect to
the presence of the American troons
south Of the boundary.
While the chase of Villa has been
halted, 1t is by no means assured that
It is abandoned. A strong column Of
American forces is now extended far
INTO Mexico, with supports at positions
where there is possible danger. From
lts position it IS capable of exercising
2 most pacific influence. If, as recent.

Ms wounds and is reforming his bands
Ior further raids, he must either make

column and thereby run afoul of the
Carranzs forces. supposedly on the
watch for him. OF scatter his men into
small squads and carefully work his
way toward the border. At some
point. however, he must "mobolize"
9 9 dash against the American terri
tory. and unless there is wholesale
treachery the United States is bound
20 get word of such a in sea.
Q y Meanwhile the situation along
the border is better by far than when
villa struck Columbus, and it would be
nard Tor him to repeat his stroke in
force and get awsy freely, as. before.
The defeat Of the bandits who raided
Hienn Springs, Just reported from the
border. is evidence that the second
punitive expedition has not been idla
while the El Paso negotiations were
being concluded. There is, however,
reinsurance that the main body of this
band has been taken. 1t is to be ex-
sPected that Maj Langhorn will con.
tinue his work.

$935,ooo BAILFOR
|. W. W.CAPTIvES
Scranton Magistrates Also Fine
Miners $40 Each.
ALL GO BACK TO JAIL
Prisoners Taken to Court in Trolley
Cars-Wives Walk Eight Miles From
Old FORGE With Children.

Bail in the aggregate sum Oh
$685. 900 was demanded Of 1877 Indus
trial Workers of the World who were
given hearings in Scranton, Pa,
for participation In the forbidden
meeting raided In Old Forge, and
which resulted in 267 arrests by
Sheriff Ben S. Phillips and dozen
deputies and twenty state troopers.
Each defendant was also inel SlO
for disorderly conduct. None gave
bonds or paid the summary fine, anu
all went back to the county jail.
The charges preferred against them
were unlawful assembly, forcib!e en-
try, conspiracy, meeting to riot ana
disorderly conduct.
The firm of Jennings C Jennings, OF
which Hugh Jennings, of Detroit, and
his brother, are the members, together
with John Memolo, attorney for the
Italian consul, Fortunate Tiscar, rep
resented the defendants. Mr.. Memolo
denied that he was acting for the
Italian consul and insisted he was
merely engaged by friends Of some OF
the defendants.
The prisoners were loaded into four
trolley cars and taken in patches OF
about half a hundred each to four dit-
ferent ward mag:s rates. Oficers
testified to the forbidden meeting and
the attendants forcing their way in
against the protests of the wife of the
proprietor of the hall. The defendants
lawyers contented themselves with a
protest against the size of the bail.
They were told by the magistrates
they could go into court AMI have Il
reduced if it was eXhorbitant. This
suggestion was not followed.
Fourteen of the fifty defendants in
one magistrates office raised their
hands when Attorney H. NJ. Edwards,
representing the prosecution, asked
How many of you are citizens"
Hundreds Of friends of the prison
ers came from Old Forge, many bear
ing food and clothing, which they tried
unavailingly to get into the Jail. NO
visitors would be admitted. About a
hundred women accompanied by a
couple of hundred small children form
ed part of the crowd that came from
Old Forge. One woman whose hus-
band was arrested walked eight miles
in the rain, carrying an infant. There
was no hostile demonstration other
than an occasional rush by woman
or group of women to get to their
"men" when they were being herded
in or out of the magistrates Offices.
The city police handled them gently
but firmly, and avoided any roughness
that might lead to a serious outbreak.
