United Press STAFF Correspondent
WASHINGTON. May 12-With the
III Paso peace pact conference over
and General Scott ordered home. the
administration today cast upon the
Carranza government the burden OF
any further negotiations. The cabinet
threshed out the situation at length.
No reply to Carranza's request for
withdrawal was planned until AM
bassador Arredondo takes up the
question. Even then the answer
will be. as it has been, that the
American forces will not quit the villa
hunt until the border is safe from
further incursions.
Omcials are not too confident new
terms can be arranged through the re-
spective foreign offices. Obregon told
Scott plainly that he could not put
into writing any agreement that would
place the Carranza government in the
light OF cOnsenting to the stay of the
American expedition I'm Mexico.
Officials expressed hope that the eX-
pedition can continue without actual
mOlestatiOn from any uncontrolled
Carranzistas band
As the border patrol now stands. il
is regarded by army men as sufficient
Absolutely no orders for further mill
tia movements are in contemplation
at this moment. No new moves will
be made unless border conditions be-
come more menacing than they now
are.
The State Department does not now
intend to take up negotiations with
Carranza further Any move will be
up to Ambassador Arredondo. He
probably will press for a reply tC
Carranza's note Of about a month ago
which strongly suggested that the ex.
pedition be withdrawn.
The failure OF Generals Scott an5
.Obregon-to agree WIS due to the fol
lowing causes among others:
Obregon wanted to discuss a border
patrol arrangement but sought frs
to have the American forces with
drawn.
He informed Scott that the prestige
of both himself and Carranza would
suffer if he returned TO Mexico City
with news that he had consented to
the stay Of the American expedition.
He was willing to arrange for CO.
operation IN the Parral district. The
latter proposition was acceptible. but
inasmuch as the withdrawal problem
seemed uppermost in Obregons mind
the conference came to naught.

EARLY PAYING Of

Council Tells Business Men
Only Delay is Absence
of Trolley Rails
CITY WILL SPEND
100000 ON PROJECT

Market street. from Front TO Elev-
enth streets. is to be paved as soon as
possible. This was the word given
the executive committee Of the Cham
Der of Commerce by members of City
Council at a conference last night
The Chamber OF Commerce officials
called at Council chambers to take up
the question OF having the citys main
business artery paved and they were
informed that Council had already
planned TO have the work done
Several weeks ago Council passed
an ordinance authorizing the Street
and Sewer Department to issue bonds
up to 100000 for this work. The
directors of that department are now
preparing 70 advertise for bids for
the work.
II is understood that the Whining
ton and Philadelphia Traction Com
pany. whose lines operate on the
street, has placed orders for new
rails and the paving Of the street de-
pends on the arrival OF these rails.
Although the rails are expected in
July. reports from the steel mar
kets say that all orders for such ma
terial is not being guaranteed de-
livery within two years.
When City Councilman Oscar C..
Draper was asked today when the
work would be started. he said IL
was hoped 10 have IL commenced
within a short time. but the actual
work depended on the receipt OF the
new rails by the trolley company.
Members OF the executive commit
tee Of the Chamber OF Commerce, in
addition to urging the paving OF the
eleven squares. also suggested that
Market street be paved from Eleventh
to Twenty-third streets. The thor
oughfare is now paved from Twenty
third street to the city line with btu
lithic. and it is proposed to have the
entire street paved.
