Conferences On Border r
Ended Without Result in
Settlement.
LEAVE QUESTIONS
TO THE DIPLOMATS
Entire Matter Must Be Settled
Through Medium of Regular
Exchanges-Carranza Said to
Have Blocked Negotiations.

FL Paso, Texas, May 11.-After al
most two weeks Of discussion the con-
ferences of Gen. Hugh L. Scott, Gen.
Frederick Funston and Gen. Alvaro
Obregon, Mexican minister of war,
over American troop dispositions in
Mexico, came to an end tonight with
out any agreement being reached
r>The whole matter was referred back
TO the American and defacto govern
ments to be settled through diploma
tic channels.
Tonight the situation is almost eX-
actly where it stood before the con
ferences began. The Mexican gov
ernment still insists on the withdraw
al Of Gen. Pershing's columns upon
certain date and wants that date to
come quickly. 1t is known that Gen.
Obregon has been willing to make
concessions in order to reach an
agreement with the American con-
ferees. He has been overruled, how
ever, by the first chief, Venustiano
Carranza, and his advisers. After
practically conceding the demands Of
the American con ferees he was COM
PEELED to remove his attitude.
After Two Conferences
The end Of the negotiations came
after two conferences had been held.
The first began at / 0 and lasted until
I p. M, when a recess was taken un-
til p. m. to permit Gen. Obregon
to keep a lunch engagement. Sharp
upon the hour the conference was re-
however, came the end. Gen. Obre-
gon, accompanied by Juan Amador,
Mexican secretary of foreign af-
fairs, emerged from the private car
occupied by Gen. Scott and Gen. Fun
ston, walked rapidly down the rail-
way yards, climbed into his waiting
automobile and drove away.
Gen. Obregon was accompanied 20
his machine by Gen. Funston. The
Mexican confree's manner was alb
rupt and vexed, but Gen. Funston
smiled cheerily as he bade him good
bye.
Gen. Funston reentered the car.
Then Col. Robert e. Lee Niche. aide
to Gen. Scott, came out and dis
tributed copies Of the following state
ment to the waiting newspaper men:

The recently formed Louisiana-Ari- zona Copper Mining Co.,. with its head office in Bisbee has recently acquired 31 mining claims just north of Bis bee, in the Warren-Bisbee Mining Dis tr'ct. on which valuable orc has been located and the actual development { of the property will begin in a few days.

 The greater part of the property to be developed by the Louisiana-Arizo- ma Copper Mining Go. has been held for some time by local people. who have been loath to turn the same loose, believing that some day this prope-ty would be among the produc- ing mines in the District.
 Recently a strike of silver. gold, lead and copper was made on the property and since careful investisa- tion has revealed deposits of ore. as- says running as high as s1l7.05 cop per per ton and silver s32 70. es well as good showing of s9 co gold
 The stock of this company will be nlaced on the warket for 30 days in Bisbee. to give home people an op- portunity to secure shares before go- ing after outside capital.

GREEN MONSTER POOL HAS BEEN
 DISSOLVED
5OO,OO0 Shares Segregated Last April Under Pledge to Be Kept Of Market, Re leased by Owners.

PRESCOTT, Nov. 25.-By a vote that was practically unanimous those Green Monster stockholders who were subscribers to the reorganization issue and whose stock was pooled at a time. decided to dissolve the pool at called meeting held here at the of flee of Attorney LeRoy Anderson.
 This pool, which comprised 500.000 shares and was former last April. was for the purpose of holding the stock off the market. SO as to successfully finance the company. Although this object was accomplished within 4S hours after the books had been opened to the public for subscription at 75 cents a share, yet in justice to those who had subscribed at that price the holders of the pooled issue. did not deem it fair to break the pool, the ef- feet of which would have been to depress the market price at that time. Under the terms of the pooling agree ment, the pool could have been broken at any time by a two-thirds vote of those thus interested. but such move was never contemplated until the price of the stock had reached such a market value that the interests of the buyers of open stock would be pro tected Original purchasers of the stock have been able for several weeks past to secure S5 and over a share for their holdings. and at one time the stock reached a high of s6 7-S.
 For nearly two weeks it has been known in New York financial circles that the meeting yesterday was to be held, and it was generally understood that the result would be a vote favor able for the dissolution of the pool. Accordingly the action taken was gen erally discounted and although Green Monster touched s3 5-S in the morn ing session on the Curb it quickly scared to S5 and closed strong at 3-i. This would indicate that Eastern in- vestors do not fear any depressing ef- feet consequent upon the release of the half million shares of pooled

 Starting Savings to Work.
 "These men," he writes, started in life with only the ability to do a days work, the same as you and I. They saw that this in and of itself would not get them wealth. They had the self-denial to save some of their earnings and the courage to set their savings at work to earn money" .

How much real money you might have made with that S100 of yours lying in the savings bank is demon strated by H. L. Barber, we'll known financial writer of Chicago, in a book which he calls Making Money Make Money" The book has started a lively discussion among wage earners and savings bank directors.
 Safety first" is his motto on in- vestments but wise investment, he says. is the key to financial success and surer way to better ones fnan- cial condition than to let the money one has saved lie in savings banks at tow interest. He approves of sav- ings banks but asserts too much i'm portance has been given to saving and boarding instead of investing wisely.
 Barber says that nearly every man who has acquired great wealth first worked for others and saved. Rockefeller was a grocer's clerk;
