WILSON APPROVES.
SCOTI-ObRtGON
AGREEMENT
WASHINGTON Awaits Acceptance by
Gen. Cananza
WILL THEN BE PUBL SHED
Understood that Punitive Expedition
viii Not Make Further Progress
Into Mexico.

FL paso, Tex, May 5.-Although
there was no formal announcement of
the action notification that the Scott
Obregon agreement is acceptable to
the American government was tele-
graphed to Gen Scott here late yes
terday by Secretary Baker. Gen.
Scott is authorized 10 exchange formal
acceptanees with Gen. Obregon as
soon as the latter has obtained the
approval of Gen. Carranza and officials
at Washington are confident that will
be today or tomorrow.
President Wilson issued this state
ment: Il have examined, with the Sec
retary of war, the report made by Gen.
Hugh l.. Scott of the conference be-
tween him and Gen. Obrego. secretary
OF war of the republic of Mexico. The
report includes tentative agreement
covering the future operations OF both
the American and Mexican military
forces and evidences cordial co-opera-
tion between the two governments in
their common purpose.
"As this agreement Is being sub
mitted to the de facto government of
Mexico it would not be proper for me
to permit its publication until that
government las had an opportunit. to
examine and consider its provisions.
The full text OF the proposed agree
ment will be given out Immediately
upon its acceptance by both govern
ments. In general, / may say that It
provides basis of cooperation which
promises to prevent Misunderstanding
and strengthens the cordial relations
of the two republics"
The limitations OF the expedition
under the agreement have not been
disclosed. II is understood. however,
that it will hold the present lines for
the time being and not proceed to the
south In any event. The best infor-
nation at the war department as to
the present location OF the American
forces shows that Gen Pershing is
at Nimiquipa, but that patrols are at
work to the south of that place pur-
suing scattered bands of outlaws. Gen
pershing's reports have acknowledg-
ed that the great majority OF his COM
mand was inactive pending the out
come OF the El Paso conference.

CLEVER WORK BY CHIEF BRAZIL

For Harte Theatre-caught in
North Bennington in Getaway.

Quick work on the part OF Chief
Patrick Brazil succeeded in preventing
Edward Slocum from departing for

Slocum is the young man who for the
past few days has been performing on
Bennington streets on roller skates in
makeup, advertising the Harte theG-

American house and also visiting his
aunt, Mrs Charles Palmer
The capture was made in North Ben

train to take him to Rutland. Mr..
Palmer returning home between four
and five o'clock Thursday afternoon,
discovered the house had been broken
into and rifed and notified Chief
Brazil.
Chief Brazil went to the American
house where Slocum had been staying
and found that Slocum had paid his
bill there a few minutes before and
left, saying he was to take the next
trolley for North Adams. Phone
warning to look out for the man was
sent to the North Adams police and
also the station in North Bennington.
In a few minutes the station agent at
the latter place reported that a man
answering Slocum's description had
just alighted from the trolley car and
was apparently waiting for someone in

trolley for North Bennington and by

OUgKPOND PROVES
UNAVAILABLE AS
HATCHERY SITE
Water Contains Elements Detri-
mental to Young Trout
LOCATION WILL Be ABANDONED
Overlooking of Adjoining Land Be.
IieVed to Have Been Cause of
Trouble.

It has been found necessary 10 aban-
don the duck pond in Arlington as
source of water supply for one OF
the proposed sub hatchery stations
which State Fish and Game Commis-
sioner John W. Titcomb is planning to
establish at different points in the
state. The warm weather Of Satur-
day and Sunday raised the tempera-
ture of the water to such an extent
and there has been so much mortality
among the trout fry in the troughs
that the commissioner decided TO dis
tribute the young fish in the streams
as quickly as possible and break
camp" at the Duck pond"
The news of the failure OF the
Duck pond TO meet expectations will
be received with genuine regret by
sportsmen in this vicinity, for until
the arrival of warm weather the re-
ports from the experimental hatchery
had been exceptionally encouraging.
While no thorough investigation has
yet been made at the pond, it is the
general belief that the water from the
springs is as good as any that can be
found in the state. During the cold
weather of last winter the tempera-
ture seldom varied more than. one or
two degrees and the quantity met all
requirements.
The failure in the test is believed
to have been due to the raising OF
the pond above its natural level
Overlooking of surrounding land
which was covered with vegetation Is
believed TO have contaminated the
water sufficiently to make it uninhabit-
able by young fry. The land is so low
that it was impossible TO obtain suf
ficient head to flow the water to the
necessary height for the troughs
without raising the level OF the pond
and dam was erected at the outlet.
1t will now be necessary to locate
some other site for the sub-station
from which to supply the trout waters
in the southwestern section of the
state.

Sullivan was arrested by the military
authorities of Dublin on April 80.
Mrs. Sullivan, who was with her
husband, wrote on May l letter
which has just been received by Wal
ter Hines Page, the American embas-
sador who addressed note to Sir

Mr.. Sullivan was still in custody, the
nature of the charges and how soon
he would be tried.
ut is understood here that Mr.. Sui

siderable time, having arrived there

nection with the state department.

July two weeks before he was virtual

larney on January 6, 1878, and came TO

brought up in Brooklyn. Later he
went to Yale university and took up
the profession Of law, first practicing
| in Connecticut and then going to New
York city. He was counsel for Bald
| Jack" Rose in the Rosenthal murder
case and later for political services
was appointed to the post in Santo
Domingo.
A few weeks after taking Office Sui
| livan was accused of favoring certain
| of his relatives in contracts. j
j. Franklin Fort, at the request OF
! President Wilson, visited Santo Do
mingo and made a report on the stu
alton, in which he said he believed
the charges to be unfounded. Later
however, the charges took on a more
serious turn, and Sullivan resigned his
| post two weeks before subsequen
report was to be made by Senate

ed to this country, and almost i'm
mediately sailed for Ireland.

Berlin, via London, May 4.-Oficial
announcement was made tonight that
German reply to the latest Ameri-
can note on the submarine issue be-
tween the two governments will be
made public at 8 o'clock tomorrow
morning, Berlin time.
The note will be made public in
both the original German and an Of
fetal English translation. This tran
station comprises some $4,000 words.
1t will be sent to the United States, by
wireless, for publication there, i'm
mediately after 1t is given out. 1t is
roughly estimated that the transmits
sion of so lengthy document by the
present wireless facilities will take
from eighteen to twenty-four hours.
No inkling of the contents of the
note has been allowed to become
public here. The only basis for prop
hecies regarding the nature of the
answer is the answers length. 1t is
argued as unlikely that note of 15,-
600 words sent from one government
to another is either an absolute refusal
of that other governments demands or
a complete acquiescence in them. 1t
is presumed because Of its length that
the note discusses the situation and
perhaps specific cases of alleged viola.
tions of international law by German
submarines in detail.
The German reply was handed to
Ambassador Gerard at the foreign of
fee by DR.. Won Jagow, the foreign
minister at 5.95 o'clock yesterday af
ternoOn.
intense anxiety prevailed here
throughout the day with regard to the
effect which concessions may have up
on the great masses of the people.
The American ambassador called al
the foreign office at 5.35 o'clock.
Chancellor Won Bethmann-Hollweg
Admiral Won Holtzendorff chief of the
naval general staff, and DR.. Karl Helf
ferich, secretary Of the treasury, re
turned to Berlin yesterday from arm!
Headquarters in the west where the,
had extended conferences with tn,
Kaiser in connection with the German
reply to President Wilson's note.
The Berlin stock market showet
new optimism shortly before closinl
yesterday afternoon when it wa
learned that the note was to be dis
patched to Washington.
The imperial chancellor is expecte
to address the budget committee wit
in a few days on the German reply.
